The four humans and one demon sat down at a Dai Flavor Restaurant outside the school, choosing a table in the corner farthest from the counter.
Xiao Hua meticulously wiped the grease off the table with a napkin and carefully placed the ancient book down. She was about to help clean the others' spots when she saw Zhou Li already wiping for Brother Nan and Huai Xu, so she began wiping the area in front of Su Jue instead.
Su Jue, at a loss, hastily expressed his thanks.
Xiao Hua didn't respond, only turning her head to survey the restaurant.
It was peak dinner time in the evening, yet only three tables were occupied. The courtyard was quite large, which made the restaurant feel strangely empty. The street outside was also eerily empty, with hardly any cars.
Xiao Hua retracted her gaze. "How did you find this out-of-the-way place?"
