Yun Tianji looked at the messy table, his eyes hollow for a moment, then he got up, nodded slightly to Chu Zheng, and turned away, his thin figure soon disappearing beyond the luxurious gates of the Treasure Pavilion.
Xue Qing seemed uninterested in Yun Tianji and casually asked:
"Where are we heading next."
"Earn some spirit stones, so you can have this meal every day."
