Xia Wenjin’s presence here is due to the insights and experiences from her past life.

At this moment, she can’t bring out anything particularly valuable.

However, that Jade Pendant is the finest item she has.

So, upon entering the Moon Full Building, she took out the Jade Pendant and showed it briefly to the shopkeeper greeting guests in the hall.

The shopkeeper then led her to the tea area and disappeared with the Jade Pendant.

Xia Wenjin wasn’t in a hurry. With such fragrant tea and a graceful environment, what’s the harm in waiting? The young steward dedicated to serving the tea guests brought the fragrant tea, placed the tray down, and the aroma was refreshing.

As Xia Wenjin took her third sip of tea, someone hurriedly approached the tea area.

It was a young man in his twenties, dressed as a scholar. But his eyes were sharp, handsome, and dignified; his steps steady, and his footwork nimble. Clearly, this person had martial arts skills, and not weak ones at that.

Upon reaching the tea area, his hurried steps immediately slowed, becoming leisurely and light-hearted, with a smile as bright as the moon: "I am Meng Yifeng, the steward of Moon Full Building. Miss, thank you for waiting!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Not long at all, she had only taken three sips of tea.

Xia Wenjin smiled and said: "No problem!"

The young man respectfully returned the Jade Pendant with both hands, sincerely saying: "Miss, are you here for dining? Our restaurant offers private rooms. Guaranteed attentive service, allowing you to feel at home!"

Indeed, at Moon Full Building, some guests without reservations would wait in this tea area, and if they can present something proving their identity, they could dine in the reserved private rooms.

Although Moon Full Building is fully booked daily, with reservations reaching ten days ahead, there are still a few private rooms not available for reservation, lavishly decorated and distinct, with exceptional service inside.

Yet, those who can enter the tea area are few, not to mention the ones who can access the private rooms, which aren’t gained through silver coin or official status.

Once, a son of a First Rank official from the court, relying on his status without a reservation, tried to dine at Moon Full Building but was uncompromisingly swept out the door.

Once, there was a beggar in rags, exuding a stench. Upon arriving at Moon Full Building, many people quietly mocked him, waiting for a spectacle. Surprisingly, he wasn’t thrown out but was invited into a private room with a complimentary high-class banquet, clothes, and silver coin offered, respectfully shown the door.

All in all, Moon Full Building is a place both magical and ordinary.

It’s ordinary because, like any restaurant, it opens in the morning to welcome guests and closes when night falls. However, the food is slightly more delicious, the business is better, and dining requires reservations.

But once you’ve reserved a seat, even dressed plainly, you can eat, drink, and call friends without being looked down upon inside.

Every guest receives the best service from the trained young stewards here.

Of course, for such an excellent environment and service, a meal here doesn’t come cheap. Ordinary people genuinely wouldn’t dine here.

It’s magical mainly due to this tea area and those permanently unavailable private rooms.

The best, most lavishly decorated, highest-tier private rooms in the entire restaurant welcome diverse guests. Some might spend extravagantly to experience those private rooms, but no amount of money can get them in. Moon Full Building doesn’t need the money but won’t break its rules.

Another magical aspect is that all other restaurants in the Capital City have only three floors. After all, the architectural skills of this era can’t support higher floors.

Yet Moon Full Building has four floors, although the fourth isn’t open to guests nor publicly accessible. But with this extra floor, Moon Full Building stands out even more, its stature towering above other establishments.

Xia Wenjin glanced at him, smiling gently: "No, I want to go to the fourth floor!"

Meng Yifeng was momentarily stunned, although his face still held a polite smile, his eyes bore a hint of coldness, saying: "Miss, the fourth floor is not open to the public."

Xia Wenjin shook the Jade Pendant in her hand, smiling faintly: "With this?"

This time, Meng Yifeng’s polite smile faltered, his lips slightly tensed, he pondered and said: "Miss, do you have business? If it is within my ability, I certainly will assist."

Xia Wenjin said: "Right now, I just want to go to the fourth floor!"

Meng Yifeng hesitated for a moment, then clasped his hands again: "Miss, I’m afraid I cannot make this decision, I need to consult."

Xia Wenjin, in good humor, replied: "Mr. Meng, please go ahead!"

Meng Yifeng was about to leave when Xia Wenjin stopped him, offering the Jade Pendant: "Mr. Meng, you should take this to consult!"

Meng Yifeng looked deeply at Xia Wenjin, took the Jade Pendant, and hurriedly left.

Xia Wenjin, feeling quite cheerful, continued to sip her tea.

A faint, cool smile lingered on her lips.

Just now, Meng Yifeng’s attitude towards the Jade Pendant made her realize that perhaps here she could uncover the Pendant’s origin? Could the answer that eluded her past life be easily revealed in this one?

This counts as a good beginning.

Although the Jade Pendant isn’t hers, she can temporarily use it now.

Meng Yifeng returned in no time, this time the coldness in his eyes vanished, his smile was bright and gentle, he clasped his hands in greeting: "Miss, please follow me!"

Xia Wenjin stood up, feeling lucky today. It seemed she might see whom she wanted to see on the fourth floor. Otherwise, with that person absent, she surely wouldn’t be allowed upstairs.

Meng Yifeng led Xia Wenjin, but didn’t take the usual stairs for diners; instead, he headed towards a small room.

Inside the small room, they found a staircase leading directly to the fourth floor, but it was very steep, likely terrifying to those timid.

Xia Wenjin showed no fear, her demeanor calm and composed, as she followed Meng Yifeng step by step up the stairs.

Meng Yifeng occasionally glanced back at her while walking.

The girl’s expression was peaceful and poised, her steps light and agile, dignified at a young age with an inherent grace.

The two continued upwards, reaching the third-floor height, the staircase suddenly ended. However, there was a protuberance on the fourth floor that seemed the final step, as if the staircase had been abruptly cut.

Observing the marks, it was evident a stair once existed, but was destroyed violently.

Xia Wenjin: "..."

Meng Yifeng chuckled, equally helpless. It was once a perfectly good staircase, but couldn’t withstand two people fighting here, trading punches and kicks; the staircase couldn’t endure such strain. It’s fortunate the entire staircase wasn’t wrecked.

Such an incident obviously couldn’t be disclosed, especially not to an outsider.
