Chapter 284 - Ident.i.ty Token

"Let us eat in the lounge."

Bai Rouyun looked around the bustling restaurant and wanted to experience the atmosphere that filled the room. Although she had been here before, she had always entered a private room and thus missed out on the feeling of liveliness that burst through the air.

The waiter was very observant, and although it was Jiang Wei who held the token, he had clearly left the decision in the hands of this young woman, so when Bai Rouyun made her decision, they were instantly led towards a s.p.a.cious table in a corner of the room.

The table was located next to a large window on one side, and a wall on the other. It was possible to overlook the entire lounge, but also enjoy a certain degree of privacy. This was clearly the most suitable location for them, and all three guests nodded their heads in approval.

This waiter was merely one among many that worked at the Yutu Restaurant, but the way he handled their situation could not be better.

Many inside the lounge had noticed the crowd at the entrance, but they were all aware of the power behind this place, so no one paid extra attention to the chaos, and the boisterous atmosphere did not diminish throughout the whole episode.

By the time the three had sat down, the waiter had returned with tea and a menu.

The teapot and cups were made from Tianqing Clay which was acknowledged as the most suitable material for teapots that carried Pu'er, black, and oolong teas.

The tea that the waiter was serving was known as Spirit Red Robe Tea. It was the rarest of all the teas that one could get on this continent, and it had high requirements for the water and the utensils used in the tea brewing process.

The water should be infused with a spirit stone and had to reach a certain boiling point. As soon as it had started to boil and the energy within the stone had been infused into the water, it had to be used right away.

After this, the tea was most suitable for drinking after the third or fourth steeping, but it was known to be able to retain the taste even after nine steepings, unlike any other teas that could be found out here.

It was very rare to get such luxurious tea, and even Bai Rouyun, who had been here before alongside Xue Jingyu, had never experienced such great treatment. This Spirit Red Robe Tea was a treasure among teas, and it had a tremendous influence on the drinker's body and mind.

"We seem to be extraordinarily lucky today."

Jiang Wei was perfectly well aware of how hard it was to find this kind of tea on this continent, so he could not help but raise his eyebrow appreciatively when he noticed the Tianqing Clay teapot and the scent of the Spirit Red Robe Tea that permeated into the air.

The waiter, who had previously seemed very professional and upright, suddenly revealed a genuine smile, as he clearly felt relieved after hearing the praise from Jiang Wei.

"I have only heard of this kind of tea before, it seems that we are really shrouded by Jiang Wei's light. What kind of token was it that let you gain such benefits?"

Mo Chu did not ask with the intention of interrogating Jiang Wei, he was just genuinely curious about this man's origin, and the token that he had shown previously

The topic also made Bai Rouyun pay attention. She gratefully thanked the waiter as he pa.s.sed her a Tianqing Clay Teacup, and poured her some of the Spirit Red Robe Tea, but her focus was solely on the man seated opposite of her.

Jiang Wei did not try to milk the excitement, but simply placed the token on the table.

"This is my ident.i.ty token. It is a very important thing when traveling across the Wus.h.i.+ Continent, as it is the token that displays what kind of faction you belong to."

Bai Rouyun nodded her head, as she absent-mindedly looked at the token that he had placed on the table.

It seemed very foreign, but at the same time also familiar. She did not know where this strange feeling originated from, but without realizing, she reached out her hand and grasped the token in her palm.

"Careful!"

Jiang Wei had not expected her to move so swiftly, and by the time he realized her intention, she had already grasped the token in her hand.

These ident.i.ty tokens were very special, and due to their importance, they contained a lot of attack and defense inscriptions within. Bai Rouyun, who was nowhere near strong enough to handle the damage from these inscriptions, should have died on the spot after taking it into her hand, but Jiang Wei found that she did not suffer any harm.

His hand, that he had reached out to try and stop her, became sluggish, and his eyes turned wide and full of disbelief.

"I'm sorry." Bai Rouyun had regained her senses when he called out, and gently placed the token back on the table, yet before she had the time to let go, Jiang Wei grasped her wrist.

Although the strength was not controlled well, and her wrist turned red as a spike of pain shot through Bai Rouyun's arm, she did not say anything, as she witnessed his complete and utter disbelief.

"Try and hold it again."

His voice was trembling slightly, and the expression deep within his eyes made Bai Rouyun understand the severity of the situation.. She was confused, but she did not go against his request and took the token in her hand once more.
