In the cafeteria, the top floor, Dihua Hotel.

Nie Yuandao and Shan Lan entered, one behind the other. Tang Muzhou immediately stepped forward to greet them, "It's been a while since the last time I saw you two. How come you got chased by reporters?"

"Maybe because the opening ceremony will be held tonight, we just went out of Adjudication and were followed by reporters." Shan Lan said, with an apologetic smile, "My Shifu changed the driving route so that we managed to dump those paparazzi. So sorry to keep so many people waiting for us."

"Don't be. We haven't started yet. Come on in."

Tang Muzhou led them into the hall.

Surprisingly, there were hundreds of people in the hall, which was solid evidence of Tang Muzhou's great pulling power. Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Tang Muzhou spoke delightfully and loudly, "Thank you for coming. You must be hungry. Let's get the dinner started. Please have a good time!"

"Thank you for the dinner!"

"I won't stand on ceremony then!"

Everyone was starving and held their plates to pick food immediately. All of a sudden, the restaurant became bustling. Compared to the league's official dinner, they preferred this kind of informal party where they could talk freely without worrying about being heard by senior leaders of the league.

Tang Muzhou was just about to pick some food when he saw Xue Linxiang walking into the hall with an odd face. She looked pale, so Tang Muzhou approached her and asked with concern, "Sister Xue, you don't look well. What happened?"

Xue Linxiang took a deep breath as if she was hesitant about telling him what it was. A few moments later, she finally made up her mind and said, "I just met Chen Xiao."

Tang Muzhou's eyes narrowed and he lowered his voice, "Are you sure it was Chen Xiao?"

Xue Linxiang nodded, "Even though he has changed a lot, I can still recognize him. However, he told me that I mistook him......''

Tang Muzhou slightly frowned, "Where is he right now?"

Xue Linxiang answered, "I heard that he was going to have dinner at the sixteenth floor's restaurant. Do you want to find him?"

Tang Muzhou said calmly, "No. From what I know of him, since he has already realized that there is the league players party in the cafeteria today, he won't keep staying in this hotel in order to avoid encountering acquaintances——I think he has already left."

Xue Linxiang thought for a few seconds and showed a sad expression, "He pretended that he didn't know me. Maybe he doesn't want to see you either......"

At that time, Shen An ran to them and said, "Shifu, Legend Nie wants to chat with you."

Tang Muhzou lightly patted Sister Xue's shoulder to console her, and then turned around, leaving with Shen An.

As expected, Chen Xiao pressed the first floor button in the elevator. It was obvious that he didn't want to go to the restaurant on the sixteenth floor, yet he still pretended that he didn't care at all and proposed, with a smile, "I know that there is a grill restaurant with a good environment nearby. Xiao Pang likes meat. Why don't we go there?"

Xie Mingzhe knew that this was a deliberate attempt to evade Xue Linxiang, so he immediately gave him an out, "No problem. We can eat in this restaurant some other day. Today is the grill party." Of course the others agreed.
