Zhan Shenwei was on day duty so at evening, he stood up in completion of the day.
He and Shang Jing Mei communicated regularly via the communication talisman so he knew she was close by, almost at the bright jade City.
Since he was done for work and free Zhan Shenwei planned to meet up with her.
Ji Ji having seen that they were done for the day stood up beside Zhan Shenwei while Zhan Shenwei cupped his fist to his fellow members in the office.
" Seniors, I'd be living"
All of the group members were also only on day duty, as duty were rotated by groups, so having discerned it was the time when they ended the day's work, they were also tidy up and preparing to leave for the day.
" Alright, later, ok, take care ", the group members responded politely.
Due to being new and younger than the average age of the members of the group, Zhan Shenwei had not quite ingrained himself into the group, but he was polite and the members were also relatively polite back.
Possibly trying to rectify this, a tall lanky city guard walked up Zhan Shenwei and patted him on the back.
" Junior Zhan has been part of the group for about a week, how about your seniors host you a banquet to welcome you and introduce you formally to us members "
Zhan Shenwei scanned around the room, most of his peers had a normal reaction clearly having been informed of this, there was even a senior sister smiling that Zhan Shenwei didn't know why she was smiling.
If Zhan Shenwei had felt unwillingness on the rest, he wouldn't have wanted to dispose, but since they had clearly agreed, it was necessary to not refuse their kind gestures, this kind of thing was necessary to ingrain well with his peers.
But...
He was seeing Shang Jing Mei today, should he try to postpone the banquet till another appropriate time.
Zhan Shenwei was about to talk about this when, the Senior continued.
" Junior brother, your Senior have a arranged a meal at the Treasure restaurant, it's a new restaurant by the Treasure Pavilion set to open today, the captain is also treating this as a group meal for the team "
Oh, Treasure restaurant by Treasure Pavilion, Zhan Shenwei thought, Shang Jing Mei was really a business woman, having set up a restaurant to be launched on the day of her arrival.
Luckily it walked well in this way, he would first meet up with Shang Jing Mei first, then dine with his group, as the establishment was set up by the Treasure Pavilion, Shang Jing Mei would be around so he always see easily if not during the meal, then after.
He could only do it this way, his superior, the captain would also be there, he shouldn't refuse if he could make it.
" Alright, thank you Seniors ", Zhan Shenwei cupped his fist with a smile on his face
The lanky Senior smiled at Zhan Shenwei," it's no issue Junior brother "
Actually, it was the captain Li Mu that set up a group gathering at the Treasure to welcome the new member of the group.
That was why everybody's reception when Zhan Shenwei looked through was positive, it wasn't that they were looking forward to the formal introduction with Zhan Shenwei, but the opportunity to dine at the Treasure restaurant.
Unlike other high end restaurants that catered to cultivators in bright jade City and still accepted gold coins, the Treasure restaurant's prices were fixed in spirit stones making it a luxurious affair.
The average basic city guard received just 30 spirit stones, how could they afford to fork out from this to dine.
Though it was said that the dishes were worth it, but still, wasn't food, food.
As for Zhan Shenwei, if he refused for an reason and the meal was cancelled, they could lose to enjoy themselves, hence he was needed
After having arranged matters Zhan Shenwei left the harbor city guard station, Shang Jing Mei had messaged him if her arrival.
....
In front of the bright jade City northern gate a large procession of carriages stood waiting, massive wagons drawn by giant steeds, and luxurious carriages, and quite a large amount of guards, drawing attention of the passing masses.
But those knowledgeable or familiar with the city matters or relatively having visited and procured the services of the group could decipher the identity of the group due the symbol on the fluttering flags.
A Sun and a moon enshrined in a temple, the Treasure Pavilion.
Among the guards area , Shang Jing Mei's butler Mang Jin stood with the rest of the rest of the guards under the scorching.
Resigned to the bright jade City having failed to persuade their lady otherwise, now they had arrived they stood waiting in front of the gate.
he had wondered so when they received the order to wait and had been waiting for a while, no just him, every one had.
After having been persuade by the captain of the guards the umptennth, he had approached the lady to discern the reason.
But according to the lady, what reason was the need to proceed to the Treasure Pavilion immediately, by staying here a while, the masses entering and leaving the city guard could see the of their procession, hence a effectively and useful publicity.
Mang Jin felt his lady was very bright, it made a lot of sense!
Moving around with some workers lifting some crates, Mang Jin had some maids serve freshments to everyone.
The young lady having decided had made large plans to really boost the Shang family operations in the bright jade City, a restaurant, auctions and more , having seen the ambitions of the plans, Mang Jin felt he was wrong to doubt the lady!
He felt, no knew, they could really much prosper here, probably his lady saw all this things when she was making her decision.
Thinking of this he was really more expectant of the future, a wide smile drawn on his face.
Beside her carriage Shang Jing Mei stood waiting, with long flowing hair, a voluptuous figure and an extremely beautiful face she drew attention of passersbys, but her gaze was fixed on a certain direction.
Mang Jin and the rest of the crew actually thought Shang Jing Mei was gazing at the sea.
But who knew better would see her focus was more on the harbor location beside it.
Having finished arranging the refreshments Mang Jin was about to return to his lady's side.
He just casually turned to the side and saw a tall extremely handsome approach from the harbour location, clad in a the basic dark armour the same as the city guards at the gate he looked more dashing.
Oh, This kid looked familiar, Mang Jin thought
Wasn't this the kid from the Spirit boat then, he looks to have settle in the bright jade City and even became a city guard.
Mang Jin remembered Zhan Shenwei because his lady had attention to him then.
Placing not much attention on it, he turned towards his intended direction as he approached his lady.
Mang Jin found his lady smiling as he neared, her smile was so bright, what caught her interest so.
It had to very interesting, following her line of sight Mang Jin saw it was the kid he was looking at befor.
Uhnn
What was going on...
