At this moment, the young girl upstairs in the restaurant heard the noise downstairs, and couldn't help but frown. She then asked the maid next to her:

"What is happening downstairs?"

A maid in a floral dress heard the girl's words, immediately bent down, and recounted the events between Lin Hu and Ding Fan downstairs. While speaking, the maid's expression showed a hint of fear. After all, this matter did not bring any glory to the City Lord Mansion. A cultivator at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage was knocked away by an obscure cultivator at the Early Nascent Soul Stage with just a Wind Blade. The maid was unsure about how to explain this to her lady, but since the young lady asked, she couldn't keep silent. Eventually, the maid furrowed her brow and narrated the events in full detail.

The young girl was exquisitely beautiful, with exceptionally bright eyes, a rare beauty indeed. But upon hearing the maid's words, she couldn't help but furrow her delicate brow even more. It was clear this news put her in a foul mood. She then shook her head helplessly and said to the maid:

"Call Lin Hu up here, don't bother with it anymore."

The maid, hearing the girl's instructions, immediately nodded and walked quickly to Lin Hui's side downstairs, whispering something to Lin Hu. Lin Hu then looked at Ding Fan with extreme malice in his eyes and said coldly:

"Today's matter won't end like this!"

After speaking, Lin Hu followed the maid back upstairs, no longer concerning himself with Ding Fan and the rest.

The crowd outside the restaurant, witnessing this scene with Ding Fan and the others, couldn't help but wear expressions of astonishment. It was unbelievable to them that the middle-aged man was sent flying by just one strike from a Wind Blade and then simply left. It was simply too incredible!

People knew the middle-aged man was from the City Lord Mansion, and the City Lord's daughter was upstairs. For him to be called back upstairs, it was indeed quite unimaginable!

At this time, Ding Fan listened to the middle-aged man's words with a mild expression, clearly not taking his comment to heart. After all, it's just a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, nothing he needed to worry about. Instead, Ding Fan gained a bit of interest in the young girl upstairs. He wondered what exactly she was up to, sending her subordinate directly away.

Ding Fan did not believe for a second that the girl upstairs was unaware of the events happening below. That was absolutely impossible.

He Qianyao and the others, witnessing all this, couldn't help but ponder. The girl upstairs undoubtedly had an unusual status, yet she chose not to get tangled with Ding Fan and the others, which was certainly unexpected.

Soon enough, a waiter with a somewhat fawning expression brought dishes to Ding Fan and the others' table. Evidently, the waiter had seen everything clearly; the middle-aged man was at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, yet he was just flipped by one Wind Blade. This boy, Ding Fan, was clearly not an ordinary person, so the waiter maintained an air of caution around Ding Fan, even if feeling a bit sorry for him.

The waiter thought to himself that offending people from the City Lord Mansion wouldn't end well, especially in Pine Stone City, where the City Lord Mansion was a significant force. Offending them would have disastrous consequences.

Despite these thoughts, the waiter dared not show an ounce of grievance towards Ding Fan; on the contrary, he was utterly respectful.

"Find out what those upstairs are planning?"

At this moment, Ding Fan looked at the waiter and directly asked.

The waiter was stunned at Ding Fan's question and wore a troubled expression. After all, those upstairs belonged to the City Lord's household, people not easily provoked, and he was just a waiter with no right to speak carelessly. However, this boy in front of him was also no ordinary character; he had defeated a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator effortlessly, indicating an unfathomable level of cultivation.

Ding Fan watched the waiter struggle to respond, sensing his difficulty, and then placed some gold coins on the table, saying to the waiter:

"Tell me truthfully, and these are yours!"

The waiter, seeing the gold coins, lit up with joy. Being a mere mortal, the allure of such wealth was significant to him. He couldn't imagine how long it would take to save up this much. The waiter, now overly eager, said to Ding Fan:

"I'll tell you, but I've only heard rumors. Apparently, they're planning to invite Ding Fan to dinner. But keep it a secret, don't spread it around!"

At this point, the waiter wore a serious expression. Though he had taken the money, he dared not spew complete lies, opting to give only a vague account. After all, the people from the City Lord Mansion were no strangers to resolving matters with force. If his loose tongue indeed ruined their plans, he couldn't escape unscathed, considering his ordinary status.

Hearing the waiter's words, Ding Fan was momentarily taken aback. The City Lord's daughter planning to invite Ding Fan for dinner? This world is truly full of surprises! It wasn't just Ding Fan who was taken aback; He Qianyao and the others also found it hard to believe. Ding Fan sat right next to the waiter, yet he had the audacity to fabricate such lies.

"You're saying the City Lord's daughter plans to invite Ding Fan for dinner?"

Ding Fan looked at the waiter, verifying once again.

"Yes, yes, keep it down, don't spread it around! Otherwise, it could be the end of me!"

The waiter, with a face full of bitterness, pleaded with Ding Fan, confirming again.

Ding Fan, hearing the waiter's words, immediately transmitted some Divine Vigor into his hand, grabbing the waiter's collar, and said coldly:

"Your lies are so unconvincing. If you don't tell the truth, you may find yourself out of luck sooner than later!"

The waiter, suddenly grabbed by Ding Fan, was panic-stricken, and in a rush, he exclaimed, "I'm not lying! I'm telling the truth! Why are you doing this? Oh my..."

Ding Fan heard the other party's words, then let him go, observing the shopkeeper's appearance that seemed not to be lying. This could only prove one thing: there really was a cultivator named Ding Fan here to meet the daughter of the City Lord Mansion.

"You can go!"

At that moment, Ding Fan's expression in his new China was thoughtful and he calmly said to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper heard Ding Fan's words, feeling relieved in his heart; fortunately, this person seemed reasonable. He glanced at the gold coins on the table and then at Ding Fan's face.

"Take them, leave quickly!"

Ding Fan said straightforwardly.

The shopkeeper was instantly happy upon hearing Ding Fan's words, took everything, and directly left Ding Fan and his companions.

He Qianyao witnessed Ding Fan's actions and felt somewhat angry. In her heart, the shopkeeper was a liar, claiming the people upstairs wanted to feast Ding Fan. It was unlucky for the shopkeeper to tell such a lie when the Ding Fan he mentioned was directly opposite him.

"Ding Fan, why did you give gold coins to that shopkeeper, even though he was lying!" He Qianyao felt somewhat angry as she spoke to Ding Fan.

"Yeah, Brother Ding Fan, he was really talking nonsense, claiming the people upstairs were feasting you, Brother Ding Fan. It's so ridiculous!"

"Exactly, the shopkeeper was really unlucky to tell a lie and meet the real you! Haha..."

At this time, two divine warrior girls spoke to Ding Fan, finding the situation quite amusing.

Ding Fan heard everyone's words and spoke calmly:

"I think he's not lying. Do you remember the legends about me on this journey?"

Everyone heard Ding Fan's words and was stunned for a moment. It was known that there were indeed many rumors about Ding Fan, even claiming the sects suddenly destroyed overnight were by Ding Fan. Perhaps others truly didn't know what happened, but He Qianyao and others knew very well that Ding Fan had always been with them, having no time to destroy sects.

This was clearly a rumor. With Ding Fan and others inquiring along the way, there were even more stories about Ding Fan. He Qianyao and others knew most rumors were false since Ding Fan was always with them. They were very clear about what he was doing, but it was certain that Ding Fan was considered a celebrity in the Cultivation World now, with quite a high prominence.

He Qianyao listened to Ding Fan's words and pondered for a moment, realizing Ding Fan's meaning. If the shopkeeper hadn't lied, it meant someone was impersonating Ding Fan!

"Someone is impersonating you, Ding Fan?"

He Qianyao was shocked as she looked at Ding Fan and asked.

"Very possible."

Ye Ningbing, who hadn't spoken, responded to He Qianyao and continued:

"You know Ding Fan is now quite famous, attracting some scammers using Ding Fan's name to deceive. This is highly probable!"

"Yes! I think so too!"

Ding Fan agreed with Ye Ningbing's words, his expression somewhat indifferent.

Listening to everyone's conversation, the two divine warrior girls suddenly realized the situation, understanding it was like this.

"Everyone, have some food first. We'll soon know what's happening."

Ding Fan smiled indifferently at everyone. He found it quite interesting, not expecting to possibly encounter his imposter today! Really interesting, Ding Fan wanted to see what his impersonator looked like.

Then, everyone understood Ding Fan's intent, wanting to observe his imposter. Clearly, as long as they stayed here, the fake Ding Fan would soon appear.

Not long after, a male cultivator entered the restaurant, medium built, with a scar on his face. The scar-faced man entered the restaurant without any hesitation and directly went upstairs.

At this moment, Ding Fan observed this scene, noting the scar-faced man with extra attention; given that no one casually entered here, yet this man walked in without hesitation, straight upstairs. Ding Fan knew this might be who the City Lord's daughter was looking for, supposedly named Ding Fan.

Ding Fan's extra attention to the scar-faced man revealed his cultivation was merely at the Early Nascent Soul Stage. Such cultivation dared to impersonate him; Ding Fan felt extremely shocked by this audacity!
