#373 - Brother Xu, just be sensible.

Inside the Panhai Tower, Xu Ming and the other three were sitting in a private room, having ordered some dishes.

Xu Ming found that this restaurant was indeed quite unique.

The layout of this restaurant was very beautiful, giving both a sense of luxury and an elegant atmosphere.

Especially the menu of this restaurant.

Other restaurants use names to describe the dishes and then list the price behind each item, nothing more.

But this restaurant actually had paintings, which was quite interesting.

These paintings used various pigments and looked colorful.

Although these paintings couldn't compare to the photos of his previous life.

They were still pretty good, at least there was some innovation.

Moreover, even if the menu paintings weren't good-looking, it didn't matter as long as they weren't ugly, because eating was not just about the food itself, but also about the ambiance.

When Xu Ming saw that this restaurant was packed, he knew that the taste of the food might not suit his palate, but it wouldn't be bad either.

After all, the taste of the masses doesn't lie.

No matter how good your marketing is, if your food is really bad, people won't come to eat, on the contrary, everyone will go there to scold you.

Not to mention coming to this kind of restaurant, you will unconsciously have higher expectations for the dishes.

Therefore, this restaurant has to come up with higher quality dishes.

"By the way, how did you two manage to book a private room? It's not easy to book a room here, is it?" Xu Ming asked after ordering the dishes.

Mainly because these two guys were also visiting Beihai Dragon Capital for the first time, unfamiliar with the place, yet they were able to book a spot.

Could it be that they had some connections in Beihai?

"Hahaha, Brother Xu, you don't know about this," Yuwen Xi smiled, "The restaurants here are indeed difficult to book, but we just booked earlier, didn't we? I had a friend before who was from Beihai. Last month, he was going back to Beihai, so I simply asked him to help book a private room. If it wasn't used, it wasn't used. Anyway, the reservation would be cancelled after half an hour, and we're not short of that little bit of money."

"I see," Xu Ming nodded.

Miao Feng's eyes darted around for a moment:

"But Brother Xu, please forgive me, there will be some friends from our White Deer Academy coming to have a drink together later, and it will be a good opportunity to introduce them to you.

Please also rest assured, Brother Xu, that these people are all easy to talk to."

Xu Ming didn't mind: "Of course, no problem, as long as the gentlemen of White Deer Academy don't mind me, this rough man."

Xu Ming naturally trusted Yuwen Xi and their friends.

After all, birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. When getting along with these two people, Xu Ming felt very comfortable, and he believed that their friends shouldn't be too outrageous.

Yuwen Xi smiled: "Brother Xu, that's not right. If Brother Xu is considered a rough man, then wouldn't we be even less than rough men?"

Miao Feng nodded: "That's indeed the case."

Xu Ming smiled and raised a glass of wine: "You two are still so good at praising me to death."

"This isn't praising you to death, we're clearly stating the facts," Yuwen Xi and Miao Feng raised their glasses and clinked them with Xu Ming.

"However, among the people from your White Deer Academy who came to Beihai Dragon Palace this time, besides the two of you, I actually know one more person," Xu Ming said.

"Oh?" Yuwen Xi and Miao Feng immediately became interested, thinking that Xu Ming was finally going to say that person's name.

"That Uncle Lu, came to me last night and chatted with me for a while," Xu Ming continued.

"? ? ?"

Yuwen Xi and Miao Feng originally expected Xu Ming to say that person's name.

But they didn't expect that Brother Xu was actually talking about "Uncle Lu"? ? ?

No.

You don't care about women, why do you care about men?

But then again, why would Xu Ming know that Senior Brother Lu?

"Brother Xu knows that Senior Brother Lu?" Yuwen Xi asked first.

Logically speaking, the two should have no intersection, after all, Brother Xu has never been to White Deer Academy.

"That Senior Brother Lu and the Prime Minister of our Wu Kingdom, Mr. Xiao, are classmates, and Mr. Xiao is my enlightenment teacher, so strictly speaking, that Mr. Lu is my uncle.

Last night, Senior Brother Lu came to my place, had some tea with me, and then we chatted."

Xu Ming explained simply.

"Hahaha, I see," Miao Feng said with a smile, "If that's the case, Mr. Xiao is from White Deer Academy, and Brother Xu is a disciple of Mr. Xiao, then Brother Xu is half a student of White Deer Academy, and we are fellow students with Brother Xu."

Xu Ming smiled and nodded: "That's indeed how it can be said."

"But Brother Xu," Yuwen Xi pondered for a moment, still feeling that he had to say it, "Brother Xu should stay further away from that Uncle Lu."

"Hmm? Why?" Xu Ming asked.

"This," Miao Feng was also thinking about how to explain it to Xu Ming, "Mainly because that Uncle Lu's reputation isn't good. If Brother Xu gets too close to him, we're afraid it will affect Brother Xu's reputation."

Xu Ming frowned slightly: "I wonder if you two can explain in more detail."

"We also heard that these things are circulating throughout the White Deer Academy. It's said that Senior Brother Lu once abandoned a woman after messing with her, and also peeked at female students bathing, and even stole other people's underwear," Miao Feng said in a low voice, "In short, most of the bad rumors in the academy are related to Senior Brother Lu."

Listening to these things, Xu Ming didn't quite believe it in his heart.

Rumors are just rumors after all.

Based solely on his understanding of Uncle Lu yesterday, Xu Ming felt that Uncle Lu shouldn't be that kind of person.

"How did that Uncle Lu respond?" Xu Ming asked.

Miao Feng shook his head: "Senior Brother Lu didn't respond, as if he had defaulted to this matter. Every day when we see Senior Brother Lu, he's either mooching food and drink, or digging wild vegetables and fishing somewhere..."

"Brother Xu, we're not trying to express anything by saying this, mainly because the vast majority of people in the academy keep their distance from him. If Brother Xu gets too close to him..."

Yuwen Xi explained again.

After all, Uncle Lu was Xu Ming's uncle, and he was talking bad about someone's uncle.

"I know you two mean well," Xu Ming nodded, "Don't worry, I have a sense of propriety."

"It's good that Brother Xu has a sense of propriety. Come, let's drink, let's drink," Miao Feng didn't want to continue this topic, fearing that it would hurt both sides' feelings.

Just as the three of them raised their glasses, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
