```
This matter was done by those with intent.
As for whether it was the Qin Family or the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family, no one could know.
Those people probably knew they couldn't succeed.
It must have been just to annoy him.
That was what Luo Yao thought as he found a seat and sat down.
Inside the tavern, it was quite quiet.
But this quietness was relatively speaking.
There were still quite a few people inside the tavern.
Most of these people were conversing in low voices, and the atmosphere was not too oppressive.
When Luo Yao entered the tavern, many people around him couldn't help but cast their glances.
"Which young master is that?"
"Does anyone know him?"
"Don't know, don't care, let's mind our own eating and drinking."
The people inside the tavern conversed softly.
After sitting down, Luo Yao called out to the waiter.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any good wine or dishes here?" Luo Yao asked the waiter.
"Yes, yes, yes." The waiter nodded hurriedly upon hearing this: "Our tavern's fine wine is the best in Qingshi City, and the dishes are delicious too."
"Bring me a jar of your best wine," Luo Yao said indifferently.
"Right away!" The waiter responded promptly: "One jar of fine wine!"
After placing the order, the waiter stood next to Luo Yao with a passionate expression.
"Sir, are you visiting Qingshi City for pleasure?" the waiter asked.
"Yes," Luo Yao nodded. "I came here to experience life."
Luo Yao bluffed with his eyes open.
"Experience life?" The waiter was stunned.
"Yes," Luo Yao nodded again. "I was feeling suffocated at home, so I decided to go out for a walk."
"I see," the waiter said, sounding somewhat envious. "To be able to roam so freely, your family must be quite well-off, right?"
"That's reasonable," Luo Yao replied lightly.
"No wonder," the waiter said, laughing: "Just by looking at your attire, I can tell you must be a wealthy person."
"Here, young master, your wine has arrived."
The waiter said this and placed a jar of fine wine in front of Luo Yao.
"Thank you," Luo Yao picked up the jar and immediately took a swig.
"Fine wine," Luo Yao exclaimed after taking a sip.
"You have a good tolerance for liquor, young master," the waiter commented, smiling: "Would you like another jar?"
"No need," Luo Yao shook his head. "One jar is enough for me."
"Very well," the waiter nodded. "You drink up, just call me if you need anything."
"Bring me a roasted chicken, braised pork, steamed fish, stir-fried beef, one serving of..."
As the waiter left, Luo Yao began to order dishes directly.
As his voice rose, those around him also couldn't help but look towards Luo Yao.
"What is that guy thinking, eating so lavishly?"
"Do you have to be so extravagant?"
The people around whispered, their gazes filled with a hint of envy and jealousy.
A table full of dishes, and these people would have spent half a month's expenses.
Yet Luo Yao, like water flowing, waved his hand and directly ordered a whole table full of dishes.
Such a waste...
"Really, some people are born with a golden spoon in their mouth these days."
"The gap between people is even greater than that between people and dogs!"
The people around him conversed softly, their tones full of unwillingness and envy.
On the other hand, Luo Yao didn't care about the outside gazes and words.
Only after he had eaten and drunk his fill did he feel somewhat relieved.
```
"Being full and content feels good," said Luo Yao as he stood up.
After paying the bill, he walked straight out of the restaurant.
Outside the restaurant, Luo Yao took a deep breath.
"Next, it's time to go back."
"I suppose the old man's patience is wearing thin."
"If I don't return now to deal with all the trivial family matters, he will probably send someone to look for me..."
...
After returning to the Luo Family Ancestral Land,
Luo Yao, who was the Young Master of the Qingshi City Luo Family, conscientiously made his way to a room dedicated to handling family affairs.
There he silently took a seat next to the main seat.
At that time, Luo Ping, the current Patriarch of the Luo Family, was sitting in the main seat, gracefully sipping tea.
He leisurely reviewed a document that the members of the Luo Family Advisers from Qingshi City had processed.
It seemed he was pondering something.
In the room, apart from Luo Ping, there were about a hundred middle-aged men.
These men were members of the Luo Family Advisers.
They could handle the family's trivial matters.
As for the significant decisions, those needed Luo Ping's approval.
Of course, if it were a major issue, then it would require convening a family council.
At this moment, the advisers stood nearby with the utmost respect while Luo Ping sat in the main seat.
"Patriarch,"
Luo Yao called out while Luo Ping was deep in thought.
"Hmm?" Luo Ping put down the document in his hands.
Then he looked up at Luo Yao, "You're back?"
"Um...Yes," Luo Yao nodded, "After some rest, naturally, it's time to contribute significantly to the family."
"How did you find the outside world?" Luo Ping asked indifferently.
"It feels like home is still the best."
Luo Yao spoke calmly.
"The outside world is indeed splendid," Luo Ping replied with a smile, "But it also comes with its hardships."
"I'm naturally aware of that," Luo Yao nodded, "After all, a person must grow up."
"It's good you understand this," Luo Ping responded softly, "At least you're not like the other clansmen who only know how to indulge in pleasure."
Saying this, Luo Ping's gaze turned towards the members of the advisers.
The family's affairs were largely handled by them.
Their inclusion in the Brain Trust was due to their talent and abilities.
As for Luo Yao, though somewhat immature in his methods,
he was still quite commendable.
Of course, if it were purely a matter of martial strength, none of the hundred advisers could likely defeat Luo Yao.
After all, Luo Yao was a genuine Cultivator of the Organ Refinement Realm.
Among the younger generation, he was considered top-tier.
"This trip out was indeed very fruitful," Luo Yao said, a smile appearing on his face, "At least, I have gained my own understanding of some matters."
"That's good to hear," Luo Ping said softly, "Especially when it's time to contribute to the family, you won't be like the other clansmen, always shirking responsibility."
"Patriarch, the trivial family matters and administrative affairs are almost handled," one adviser stepped forward and said with a clasped fist, "However, there's one more thing..."
"What is it?" Luo Ping asked indifferently.
"Some people in Qingshi City are aggressively buying up all sorts of ore and Alchemy materials," the adviser said.
"They're offering prices much higher than the market rate."
"In just over ten days, they've already acquired materials worth at least a thousand low-grade Spirit Stones."
The adviser spoke, his face showing contemplation.
"Oh?" Interest appeared on Luo Ping's face, "So there are people daring to make large purchases in my Qingshi City? Aren't they afraid I might devour them?"
