However, the Black Tortoise Lake was open to the public all day long, and no fees were charged. People living nearby would often come to the Black Tortoise Lake to play.
There were also people who bought sightseeing boats and led tourists on the lake. There were also people who were fishing on the lake.
It was not a holiday, so there were no passers-by to make them feel happier. After all, if there was a sea of people, they would not be in a good mood.
Black Tortoise Lake was a famous lake with a long history. There were many ancient buildings, temples, and tall buildings nearby.
Lin Yuan brought Bai Shuang to a drum tower by the lake. This was a building from more than 100 years ago. After many constructions, it was finally opened to the public and became a must-see for sightseeing.
Looking from the top of the seven story high lake, the sky was clear and a little pink could be seen in the middle of the lake.
Even though there was a distance of several hundred meters between them, one could still barely see the peach blossoms blooming and shining on the island.
Although they already had their hands on the tickets, it wasn't the time for the tickets to open up yet, so the two of them planned to rest here for a while to eat something before going to the island to admire the flowers. However, just as Lin Yuan called out and the waiter was about to order some snacks, they saw a staff member walking over from the distance with a hurried expression.
"What's going on? What did I tell you? Don't you know that there's a customer booking today? "Hurry up and chase these two people away."
The person who spoke seemed to be of quite high rank. He cursed at the waiter beside him and walked in front of Lin Yuan and Bai Shuang with a darkened face. Although it wasn't that fierce, it was still filled with impatience.
"I'm really sorry. Today, the venue has already been booked. Since the staff wasn't paying attention, we let you in. Please leave quickly, don't make things difficult for us."
Lin Yuan frowned. He was in a good mood at the moment. After all, accompanying his beloved for sightseeing was a joyful thing, but who knew that there would be people who would come looking for trouble.
"As far as I know, this Water Heaven Pavilion is not a private property?"
After all, these monuments had been built many times, and the government had put in a lot of manpower and resources. Furthermore, this was a common heritage of the human race and not a private one.
So while the restaurant was open for tourists to enjoy, there were fees, even some snacks and wine. There were even food supplies downstairs, but that was only rented out to others.
To put it simply, this was for the contractor to earn some money here, but he didn't have the qualifications to refuse the tourists.
As expected, the staff was stunned after hearing Lin Yuan's words, but he quickly found an excuse.
"You know my ass, the people who came today are esteemed guests. Do you know who provided the funds for the reconstruction and daily maintenance of Peach Blossom Island? This is the esteemed guest that came today, yet you still have the nerve to say that you're staying when he comes. Hurry up and bring your friend down as compensation. Tonight, you can come over to have a free dinner.
Lin Yuan quickly understood that the chartered area was probably a fawning place for these underlings.
As for the so-called compensation, it was just a joke. What status did he have that would care about a meal like this?
Lin Yuan didn't care, but the date with Bai Shuang today had ruined his mood. Of course, he was in a bad mood, seeing that the staff was looking for someone to ask about the person in charge here.
But who knew that it was Bai Shuang who stood up and didn't want to argue with this person.
"Forget it, since we're only here to admire the flowers, it's the same even if we're not here. Don't ruin our mood."
Lin Yuan only stopped his anger when he saw Bai Shuang speaking.
It was a good thing that the scenery by the lake was beautiful. The grass on the grass was flourishing with wild flowers. Although it wasn't as attractive as the peach blossoms in the middle of the lake, it still had a lot of flavors.
However, what surprised Lin Yuan was that there were reeds on the side of the road. This was a rare sight, and Lin Yuan hadn't seen this kind of thing in the city before.
He ran over and broke off a few leaves, curled them into a whistle and blew on them. He then made a slight adjustment. After a while, he nodded in satisfaction.
Bai Shuang looked at Lin Yuan's actions in surprise. She had seen reeds before, but she never thought that the leaves of the reeds could make a sound. It just didn't sound good.
Lin Yuan smiled mysteriously at Bai Shuang. He then whistled with the folded reed leaves and put it to his mouth. He closed his eyes and exhaled slowly. A melodious sound came from the air. It was sharp but not ear-piercing.
This was an ability he had learned from a comrade in the past. It was a melody of a foreign land, far away.
It was just that this comrade was no longer in the human world. Back then, in order to save him, his heart had been shot through, and there wasn't even a corpse to bring him back.
Bai Shuang's eyes lit up as she looked at Lin Yuan with a different expression. What else could this man not know?
He did not disturb them and just sat by the lake, listening intently.
On the other side, in the Celestial Water Pavilion, there was a so-called important guest. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a young man.
She wore ordinary clothes. Her appearance wasn't shocking, but she was surrounded by a bunch of staff. Beside her was an extremely beautiful woman, but this young man really didn't want to bother with her.
"Young Master Gu, you have specially come this time to admire the flowers. I wonder if there's anything you need to arrange?"
"I'm just here to relax and not let your people meddle in other people's business. In the end, help me check if there are any experts in this city."
Koo Bielee walked to the top floor. He looked at the beautiful scene in the distance and ordered the people next to him without even looking back. Normally, it was a high position, but at this moment, there was no power in him at all.
"Young Master, you've troubled me. You are a new member of the Martial Arts Association and are said to have passed. How can you be called an expert in the inner sect's tests? We don't have any such people here, and this has disappointed you."
In addition, he had been trained as a disciple since he was young and had even become a new member of the Martial Arts Association. It was said that he had already passed the inner sect test.
As for the Martial Competition, even though its reputation was not obvious, those who knew about it knew that it was a colossus. Since ancient times, it had always been a poor scholar and a rich martial artist. Although there were some martial artists in the Martial Arts Competition, the truth was that they were connected to a powerful force system. Who knew what kind of people stood behind these experts?
Apart from that, the president of this martial arts association was known as the number one invincible person in the country. It was said that he had once served as someone's personal bodyguard, and his background was connected to the heavens.
Furthermore, the Gu Clan had been doing business for generations to begin with. The accumulated wealth was difficult to count; otherwise, they wouldn't have been so idle as to invest and build here.
