My whole family are at the Heavenly Dao Realm.
Su Ming sized up the guy who had suddenly popped up and then realized exactly who he was.
Wasn't this the person who was checking tokens at the entrance?
"We're just standing here. Even if you're from the Treasure Pavilion, you can't just drive people away for no reason, right?"
Seeing that these people were going to continue acting like rascals, the Supervisor didn't bother being polite. He moved directly to confiscate their tokens and threw them out.
"Honored guest, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Liao Qi, the Supervisor of the Treasure Pavilion in the Reincarnation Sword Realm."
The Supervisor, who usually only appeared during auctions, had suddenly shown up and even taken the initiative to introduce himself, which surprised Su Ming a bit.
Even if he was a VIP, it didn't seem like he had reached the point where the other party would receive him personally, right?
Was the token Hu Xing gave him really that prestigious?
While Su Ming was wondering, Liao Qi continued, "There is still some time before the auction begins. I wonder if our honored guest would do me the honor of joining me for a meal?"
Not only had he proactively helped resolve the situation, but he was also inviting him to dinner.
To go to such lengths meant the other party definitely had an ulterior motive.
So Su Ming replied, "Sure. It just so happens that we're a bit hungry. Young Master Liu over there, are you coming?"
"Ah?" Liu Ziwen was stunned when asked. He hadn't expected to be involved in this at all.
Was a dinner of this level something he could participate in?
Liu Ziwen felt a bit timid, but thinking that this might be the only chance in his life, he plucked up his courage and responded with difficulty, "I'm coming!"
"Supervisor Liao should have a seat for one more person, right?"
"Of course. Please."
...Under Liao Qi's lead, the group arrived at a magnificently decorated restaurant that was not open to the public.
As Su Ming took his seat in the private room, dishes of delicacies were quickly served to the table.
In front of everyone, Liao Qi took a bite of every dish on the table.
Su Ming knew he was doing this to prove something—that none of the dishes were poisoned.
But for safety's sake, he still chose to test for poison himself by tasting all the food on the table once.
Only after confirming everything was fine did he signal the two Little Girls to eat.
Seeing this, Lin Zhaodi cheered and began to feast, not forgetting to put food into Su Ming's and Su Yingluo's bowls as she ate.
"Supervisor Liao, I'm afraid inviting me here isn't as simple as just having a meal, is it?" Su Ming sent a voice transmission directly to him.
"Since our honored guest has brought it up, then I won't hide it."
"If I'm not mistaken, Your Excellency must come from the Outer Void..."
As Liao Fan said those words, the look in Su Ming's eyes changed.
"One needs evidence to speak. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for Your Excellency to make such wild guesses?"
"Of course there is evidence. It is the token you are holding, honored guest."
Hearing this, Su Ming took out the token. He really couldn't see anything special about it.
"Honored guest may not know, but this token was personally refined by our Pavilion Master. It contains a unique secret technique that can sense the general identity of each holder."
"When it's in your hands, a golden rim appears, which means your background is absolutely extraordinary. Whether it's at the Reincarnation Sword Realm's Treasure Pavilion or at the Precious Treasure Pavilion Headquarters in the Outer Void, you are a VIP worthy of our attention."
So Su Ming handed the token to Su Yingluo. Sure enough, as Liao Qi had said, the style of the token changed.
"System, why didn't you remind me that this thing could directly probe my identity?"
["This item is harmless to the Host, so there was no need to report it."]
Su Ming was speechless at the System's answer. Since his identity was already known, there was no point in hiding it anymore.
A person who could create such a peculiar token was most likely in the Heavenly Dao Realm as well.
"I did indeed come from the Outer Void, but what does that represent?"
"It's just to further confirm Your Excellency's identity... Your surname is Su, and one of the things currently causing a stir in the Outer Void just happens to be caused by someone surnamed Su..."
"Mm, that was caused by my uncle."
Since the other party had already put it that way, Su Ming naturally chose to state his position directly.
This attitude of taking the initiative to admit it caught Liao Qi very much by surprise.
He had thought Su Ming would continue to hide his identity.
However, Liao Qi had clearly underestimated Su Ming.
Su Ming continued to add, "You guessed right. I'm from the Su Family of the Outer Void. My dad is in the Heavenly Dao Realm, my mom is in the Heavenly Dao Realm, and it seems everyone in my family except me is in the Heavenly Dao Realm. Any more questions?"
That simple addition instantly made Liao Qi break out in a cold sweat.
He suddenly realized that he probably didn't need to contact Su Ming so soon, and even if he did, he shouldn't have proactively exposed the other's identity.
As a Supervisor sent by the Treasure Pavilion to do business in the Reincarnation Sword Realm, he naturally knew what kind of power the Su Family of the Outer Void was, and he understood the weight of an entire family being in the Heavenly Dao Realm.
Su Ming was the sole heir of the Su Family. If anything happened to him, the entire Outer Void would probably be turned upside down.
This direct contact with Su Ming could be said to be the decision Liao Qi regretted most so far.
Was the Su Ming before him completely different from those young masters he had contacted before who traveled privately?
"What's wrong? Supervisor Liao, weren't you just confirming my identity? Why have you suddenly stopped talking?" Su Ming pressed.
"It... it was just to confirm Young Master Su's identity, nothing more." Liao Qi's voice was already trembling slightly.
The person talking to him now wasn't some ordinary Star Realm cultivator; it was a terrifying existence with several Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses standing behind him.
Forget Liao Qi—even if their Treasure Pavilion's Pavilion Master came in person, he would have to be respectful in front of Su Ming.
"Is that so? If there's nothing else, why aren't you using your chopsticks?" Su Ming said, picking up a morsel and putting it in his mouth. "Does Supervisor Liao have no appetite at all for such delicious food?"
"I indeed have a bit of a lack of appetite... This meal was originally meant to entertain Young Master Su. As long as you are happy and satisfied, that's enough," Liao Qi said hurriedly.
"Is that so? Then I've really put you to some expense. By the way, I heard there are many good things at the auction. I wonder if I'm qualified to take a look in advance?"
Since the cards were on the table, Su Ming continued to seek more benefits for himself.
He would try to go and see, or even pick out, the treasures inside before the auction.
"If Young Master Su wants to see them... then naturally there is no problem." Liao Qi forced a smile.
Did he dare say no now?
"Is that so? That's great. Why don't we go and have a look after we finish eating?"
"No, no problem. As long as Young Master Su is happy..."
