"Just this, is that ok?"
The shopkeeper just felt funny and angry. The Treasure House was indeed not an inn. How could one come in and stay with a token... Damn, Nangong Ling!
"Nan, Miss Nangong Jiao, of course you can..."
The shopkeeper forced a smile on his face.
Chapter 178 Blood Sea Secret Realm
"Hey, how come it's OK again?"
Luo Xue was stunned for a moment. She was wondering if the hotel owner had cheated her.
The Treasure House in the Ancient Demon Land is similar to the one in the Cage World. It mainly sells elixirs and magic weapons, and does not provide accommodation...
The reason why Luo Xue didn't come in just now was, on the one hand, because the shopkeeper seemed to be chatting with other disciples of the Nangong family and she didn't want to show up.
On the other hand, after seeing that the Treasure House was not much different from what she had seen before... Luo Xue became a little hesitant.
"You are the daughter of the Nangong family, so there is naturally a room for you in the Treasure House." The shopkeeper forced a smile on his face, and he looked at Luo Xue a few more times and said, "It's just that you seem a little..."
He didn't dare to say that they didn't look alike, mainly because Luo Xue's current outfit was too simple, and it was really hard to associate her with the Nangong family that controlled the entire holy land.
However, the soul imprint on this token does belong to this young lady and cannot be faked.
"Oh, I'm from a distant branch, a little far away." Luo Xue said casually. This was the excuse she had thought of before coming here. "Can distant branches also stay here?"
"A distant relative... No wonder the style of this token seems to be a little different from the ones I've seen before," the shopkeeper nodded thoughtfully, and then immediately replied, "Of course, Zhenbaolou welcomes you, young lady."
Even if they are from the most remote branches or collateral branches, as long as they are confirmed to be disciples of the Nangong clan, they will be given preferential treatment.
It's just providing accommodation. There are quite a few vacant rooms in the Treasure House, all prepared for these Nangong disciples.
Similar to the imperial capital, the entire Nangong Holy Land is also divided into areas, but there are only ten rings at most. The inner three rings are where the collateral branches closest to the main family live, while the main family is hidden in a secret small world.
And this small secret world is the real Nangong Holy Land.
As an ancient clan, the Nangong clan's heritage is much deeper than that of the Imperial clan.
At least the imperial clan has not yet been able to control a small secret world like the Nangong Holy Land that can accommodate cultivators above the Sea Crossing Realm.
Therefore, the Immortal Emperor could only use his great magical powers to build an entire complex of imperial palaces on the top of the peaks, and then set up huge restrictions to ensure safety.
Although it is vast and spectacular, it is a helpless act.
There is no need to be so troublesome for the Nangong Holy Land. The secret realm of the small world is naturally hidden. All people entering and leaving the holy land need to pass through the secret realm gate, which makes it very easy to monitor.
Once a crisis occurs, the holy land can also seal the door to the secret realm, completely isolating it from the outside world, greatly ensuring the safety of the Nangong Holy Land.
It is much more grand than the imperial palace complex. After all, it is the heritage that only ancient clans can possess.
"Oh, thank you." Luo Xue breathed a sigh of relief, "Take me to my room first, I'm a little tired."
For a whole week, Luo Xue did not dare to stop her journey and traveled almost without sleep.
It is true that a foundation-building cultivator does not sleep for a long time, but this is under normal circumstances.
Luo Xue had been constantly traveling and carefully avoiding potential dangers in the wilderness, and she was already exhausted.
Otherwise, there would be no need to find a hotel to rest. She is not the kind of person who is spoiled and cannot tolerate hardship.
"Miss, you have to register first. This is the procedure." The shopkeeper took out a jade slip and placed it in front of Luo Xue respectfully. "Sorry to trouble you."
"It's all right."
Luo Xue placed the Nangong Token in her hand on it, and the jade slip instantly flashed a purple light. The imprint of the token had been successfully recorded in the jade slip.
The successful branding means that this Nangong Token is not a fake. In addition, the aura is unified, which confirms that Luo Xue is the owner of the token.
It was not until this time that the shopkeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Luo Xue came with fake goods, it would be a headache and trouble. He couldn't just pretend not to see it.
Not to mention that two members of the Nangong clan are still in the Treasure House, making it even more difficult to deal with.
"Miss, please wait a moment. I will send someone to take you to your room right away." The shopkeeper said respectfully, and then waved inside, "Xin'er, come here and take Miss to the private room."
"Okay, boss, I'll be right there!"
A little girl who was shorter than Luo Xue ran over happily, raised her head and blinked her big eyes at Luo Xue, and asked curiously,
"Are you the daughter of the Nangong family?"
"...I guess so." Luo Xue touched her nose.
"Don't be rude!" the shopkeeper scolded in a low voice, "Take the young lady to rest!"
He nodded to Luo Xue apologetically, "This is my daughter. She is a little ignorant. I hope you can forgive her."
"It's okay." Luo Xue smiled, "It's childish and innocent, quite cute."
"Sister Nangong, come with me!"
Xiao Xiner took Luo Xue's hand, and with brisk steps, she skipped towards the interior of the Treasure House.
The shopkeeper seemed a little helpless, but was secretly observing Luo Xue's expression.
Of course Luo Xue knew his little thoughts. He didn't call the salesgirl in the Treasure House but instead asked his daughter to greet him. He probably wanted to make himself familiar to the customer.
Being able to establish some relationship with a member of the Nangong family, even if he is just a descendant of a side branch, may bring some benefits one day in the future.
Luo Xue didn't care. She just wanted to find a safe place to rest. She was so tired.
After sending Luo Xue in, the shopkeeper hadn't had time to clean up when Nangong Mian's yelling voice came out from the private room again.
"Sister, can you take one more?"
"... The magical weapon you are holding is already a magical weapon that can only be used in the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Don't push your luck any further."
"Hmm..."
"There's no point in pretending to cry."
Nangong Mian, with a bitter face, came out pushing Nangong Ling's wheelchair. Although the shopping guides who followed them kept smiling, the cold sweat on their foreheads showed how much mental torture they had suffered in such a short period of time.
The shopkeeper hurriedly went up to him and asked respectfully,
"Ladies, have you finished your selection?"
"Yes." Nangong Ling nodded slightly, took out a blood-red hairpin and placed it on the counter, "This is it, remember it."
"This... Isn't this the Holy Blood Bone Hairpin? Are you sure you want to take this?"
The shopkeeper showed a look of surprise. This was a magical weapon that was said to be made from the feather bones of the ancient mythical beast Phoenix. It was a very high-quality magical weapon.
This is not the point. The point is... this hairpin is not suitable for physical cultivation. It is mainly used to activate the secret method of the Nangong clan.
Obviously, Nangong Mian picked a magic weapon that he couldn't use at all, just because it was the most valuable...
"Yes," Nangong Ling was helpless about this, even his usually dignified and calm expression showed a bit of helplessness, "Since she wants it, let's choose this one."
Obviously she knew her sister's situation very well, but she just couldn't persuade her.
This girl never considers whether something can be used when choosing it, but only whether it is expensive...
The value of the number one customer of Tianlie Auction House is not to be underestimated. When the secret realm was open to Nangong Mian, she alone was able to support the daily operations of half of Tianlie Auction House, which was quite terrifying.
"Well... OK, I will register the two young ladies right away."
The shopkeeper picked up the jade slip on the counter and was about to brand it when he realized he had picked up the wrong one and quickly put it down.
Nangong Ling noticed this small detail. She remembered very clearly that when she came, there was no jade slip on the shopkeeper's counter.
This kind of jade slip is connected to the family. Since it is not a jade slip used to register items, it can only belong to the registered person.
Could it be... that someone from the Nangong clan came to the Treasure House during this period of time
After a busy period, the shopkeeper handed the Holy Blood Bone Hairpin to Nangong Mian with both hands.
Nangong Mian took the Holy Blood Bone Hairpin with joy, and then put it into his storage ring.
"Boss, have other people from the Nangong family been here?" Nangong Ling asked curiously.
"Oh... yes, a young lady just came over to rest." The shopkeeper replied.
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Nangong Mian slightly raised his eyebrows, "Are there still idiots who come to live here these days?"
"...Xiaomian, keep your mouth clean."
Nangong Ling's eyebrows trembled slightly. How could he have such a sister...
The shopkeeper was sweating profusely, and he dared not say anything more...
"Is there something wrong?" Nangong Mian pouted, "Accommodation requires points, points are so precious, I don't have many..."
"That's because you always get into trouble. How could the elders give you points as a reward?" Nangong Ling sighed.
However, it is indeed a luxury to spend points to stay overnight at the Treasure House.
In the Nangong clan, points are much more valuable than spiritual jade. Even if they have to stay overnight outside, they will not choose to come to the Treasure House.
Although the Treasure House has the most suitable rooms for spiritual practice and the most comfortable environment, not everyone can afford to live there...
"I want to see who it is..."
Nangong Mian picked up the jade slip and his spiritual consciousness swept through the contents of the jade slip.
The next moment, she showed a look of surprise.
"Nangong Jiao? From the master's family? But why... have I never heard of her?"
"Master?" The shopkeeper's expression was also surprised. "When Miss Nangong Jiao moved in, she seemed to say that she was just a branch of a distant family?"
"How is that possible? This is the token mark that only the master family has."
Nangong Mian took out his own Nangong token and placed it on the counter. The shopkeeper took a closer look and found that it was indeed the token of Miss Nangong Jiao.
No wonder it was slightly different from what he had seen before, it turned out to be the owner's...
"How about I go in and take a look at the situation?"
Nangong Mian immediately became interested, but was immediately stopped by Nangong Ling.
"What are you trying to do?"
"Meet her, I've never seen this little sister before," Nangong Mian rubbed his hands, "The master's family doesn't have many descendants, let's get to know each other..."
"Don't you know your own reputation? Don't go and scare someone's sister."
Nangong Ling rolled her eyes at her. To her, most of the tribesmen were her sisters.
"Hmm..."
Nangong Mian wanted to say something, but Nangong Ling unceremoniously raised his hand and grabbed her, dragging her out of the Treasure House.
The shopkeeper sent them to the door and wiped the sweat from his forehead as he watched the two people walk away.
Lord God of War is easy to deal with, but Miss Nangong Mian is really as unpredictable as the rumors say, and it is indeed more troublesome to serve her.
only...
The shopkeeper looked back and frowned slightly.
Why does Miss Nangong Jiao deliberately conceal her identity
The identity of a person in the main family is extremely precious. The Nangong family has many branches, but the young generation who can be called the main family usually does not exceed a hundred people.
In the Nangong Holy Land, the status of the main family's offspring is almost equivalent to that of the emperor's sons and princesses.
It was only because of Nangong Mian's own reasons that everyone avoided him... Otherwise, which descendant of a major family wouldn't have a bunch of people trying to curry favor with him
"Forget it. For people like us, it's better not to get involved in our family's affairs."
The shopkeeper shook his head, pretending he heard nothing and knew nothing.
Since you say you are a branch or collateral branch, then you are a branch or collateral branch.
... ...
Inside the room.
After Xin'er brought Luo Xue into the room, she dragged a small stool and sat at the door, watching with a serious look on her face.
Luo Xue was a little surprised when she saw this, so she asked,
"Why are you staying here?"
"I have to serve you," Xin'er looked at Luo Xue and blinked, "Dad said I have to wait for you at the door. If you need my help with anything, just call me."
