Chapter 840: A Chance Encounter with Zhao Yi

Downstairs cafe 4-9.

Judging from this sentence, the person who left the note is inside the hotel, and the so-called 4-9 should be the seat number in the cafe.

The handwriting on the note is unfamiliar to Liu Zixuan, and he can be certain it wasn’t left by someone he knows.

But meeting downstairs shouldn’t be an adversary, so who could it be?

Liu Zixuan frowned in thought for a moment, then turned to check the sleeping Ye Lianyi, and finally decided to head downstairs to take a look.

Whether friend or foe is still unclear, so he doesn’t dare to be too relaxed.

Most of the Ghost Gate Needles are indeed left at the Medical Immortal Sect, but Liu Zixuan’s array skills are already proficient and don’t necessarily rely on the Ghost Gate Needle to be deployed. He found some cups in the room to use as array bases and arranged a small array on the bed.

This way, even if someone wanted to harm Ye Lianyi, they wouldn’t be able to do it quickly.

After securing the room door, Liu Zixuan headed straight downstairs.

Soon he arrived at the cafe on the left side of the first floor.

In the evening, there weren’t many people drinking coffee, only a few couples.

Scanning around, he found the elegant seat at the corner with 4-9.

Approaching, a man was sitting in the corner, wearing a black baseball cap, holding a lit cigarette between his fingers at chin level, giving off a somewhat seasoned vibe.

Liu Zixuan sat opposite him and asked with a playful smile, "Among our brothers, only you enjoy playing deep like this."

"My wife said, after getting married, a man needs to mature!"

The speaker was naturally Zhao Yi, who stayed in the Land of the Far North to accompany his wife. As he moved his hand, Liu Zixuan noticed a small beard under Zhao Yi’s chin, adding a touch of maturity.

Liu Zixuan took out a cigarette and lit it, smiling meaningfully, "Is there any good news you’re ready to tell me?"

Zhao Yi paused, looked at Liu Zixuan with a strange expression, "Did Gu Yu teach you his fortune telling skills? How come it sounds like you already know?"

Liu Zixuan grinned, "On the day you got married, Gu Yu had already foreseen it. You’re going to be a dad this year!"

Zhao Yi smiled helplessly, "Seems like secrets can’t be hidden anymore. Earlier this year, I took Nannan to the hospital, she’s pregnant, due in September."

"Congratulations, who would’ve thought you’d be the first among us brothers to marry and become a dad!"

"Zixuan, you should hurry up too. You have so many girlfriends and no movement yet, could there be a problem?" Zhao Yi teased jokingly.

Liu Zixuan gave him a light-hearted glare, "I always thought you were reserved, how did getting married change your personality?"

"Can’t always have a sour face," Zhao Yi spread his hands with a smile.

"How did you know I was here? And I recognize your handwriting; that note doesn’t look like it’s from you. Could there be someone else?" Liu Zixuan asked.

Zhao Yi pointed to a nearby waitress, "She wrote it for me. I coincidentally saw you enter this hotel, but couldn’t find out what room you were in. I considered asking at the front desk, but they said they have to keep customer information confidential.

I thought of a way, gave the waitress some money to write down what I wanted to say and deliver it to your door. She definitely knows where your room is, so this protected your info while letting me notify you."

"Didn’t expect marriage would make you smarter," Liu Zixuan chuckled, "But why didn’t you just call me?"

"Lost it!"

Zhao Yi helplessly spread his hands, "On my way here, still had it when I got on the bus, but after I got off, my phone was gone. That thief was really slick, stole my phone and wallet right under my nose."

Poof!

Just as Liu Zixuan took a sip of coffee, he couldn’t hold back and sprayed it out, "You’re the epitome of Imperial..."

He was about to mention Zhao Yi’s realm, but suddenly realized Zhao Yi had broken through realms. He was no longer at the Imperial Realm Middle Stage but had reached the Peak of Imperial Realm!

"When did you break through?"

Zhao Yi scratched his head, "My breakthrough was quite odd this time. Earlier this year, accompanying Nannan at the hospital, upon learning she’s pregnant, I inexplicably broke through without any warning."

Liu Zixuan twitched the corner of his mouth a few times, "You’re a prodigy, hearing about your wife being pregnant and breaking through! If that’s the case, I should hurry. If those beauties of mine all get pregnant, I might soon break into that mysterious realm beyond the Emperor Realm!"

"I’m just ridiculously lucky, can’t be that mysterious," Zhao Yi grinned, "Enough about me, what about the others? I only saw you and Ye Lianyi earlier."

Just then, Liu Zixuan recounted to Zhao Yi how, after leaving the Land of the Far North, everyone went their separate ways to hone their skills.

Zhao Yi nodded after hearing, "Looks like I’m the first to reunite with you!"

"Yes, no clue if the others have come yet, though I suspect if Jiang Yunxuan comes, he’d head straight to Fengtu City, such a showoff surely looking for an opportunity to make a splash there."

Liu Zixuan put down his coffee cup, "Alright, enough chatting here, let’s head upstairs."

"Wait a moment." Zhao Yi suddenly stopped Liu Zixuan.

"What’s up?"

"Well... I lost my wallet, you’ll have to settle the coffee bill. And... I haven’t booked a room either," Zhao Yi said awkwardly.

Liu Zixuan couldn’t help but laugh twice, "Damn, a master at the Peak of Imperial Realm, to lose a wallet to a petty thief is unheard of!"

After settling the cafe bill, Liu Zixuan led Zhao Yi to the front desk.

The room was already booked, Ye Lianyi was resting inside, and although Zhao Yi was Liu Zixuan’s good brother, it wouldn’t be suitable to go in like that.

And the hotel had mentioned there was just one room left, so Liu Zixuan could only try his luck asking again, otherwise he’d have to give Zhao Yi some money to find another hotel.

They really were lucky because just as they arrived, someone was returning their room card, and Liu Zixuan promptly paid to snatch that room.

"Seems luck is really on our side, I attempted a few hotels while looking for you, it’s peak travel season, all were fully booked." Zhao Yi said, holding the room card.

Liu Zixuan nodded with a smile, handing the front desk a wad of cash, "Order some drinks and meals delivered to the upstairs room."

As evening approached, after a tiring day, he’s got to treat his stomach well...
