Just when the atmosphere was silent, the person who had previously proposed to pay more money spoke again, his words full of confusion.
“Is there still a reason for people to push money out?”
After saying this, the man walked from the door to the front of the shopkeeper.
He was wearing a light golden robe, with intricate embroidery, necklaces and jade pendants, holding a folding fan in his hand, with a reserved expression, and a bit of the style of a young master from an aristocratic family. He saw Chu Qi and others still standing in front of the shopkeeper, and persuaded them in a gentle tone.
"My fellow Taoists, I'm not being too harsh. The main thing is that there are more than 60 brothers and sisters in our sect. If we don't book all the remaining guest rooms, we won't be able to accommodate them. How about this, I'll give you twice the money, and you can stay in another inn?"
"???"
After hearing what this person said, the monks who were watching the quarrel couldn't help but look puzzled.
How could there be such a person in the world? He was willing to pay twice the price to ask someone to leave, but he was willing to live in the Menghua Inn
Can't he just pay twice as much and book an entire inn somewhere else
Even the owner of Menghua Inn was speechless when he heard his words, "You have so much money, why don't you go to Qingyue Inn next door and book a room?"
Qingyue Inn is also quite famous.
"But my senior brother told me to come to Menghua Inn and book 30 rooms. Wouldn't it be ridiculous for me to go to Qingyue Inn?"
Everyone: “…”
No, if you spend money like this, your seniors might find it particularly ridiculous.
At this time, the attendant who followed him also walked up to him and whispered, "Young Master, all the immortals from the Immortal Sect have already entered the city."
Chu Qi recognized this man. He was standing at the city gate, trying to rush into the city in a hurry. He mocked them for not being able to produce even a single spirit stone.
"What do you think, fellow Taoists? My senior brothers and sisters are about to arrive, and I'm really anxious." His face showed a hint of pleading.
"No big deal." Yan Jiuge's voice sounded, coldly and directly rejecting the negotiation. He raised his hand and threw his Qiankun bag to the shopkeeper, "Double the price, settle the bill."
"My junior brother is weak. He has been traveling for many days, sleeping in the open air. Now he has finally found a place to stay."
Yan Jiuge's voice was casual and lazy, and it sounded like he was saying that the weather was nice today, until he changed the subject, his deep voice revealed a hint of danger, "Do you want my junior brother to work hard again?"
"Ah, this..."
The monk in gorgeous clothes looked embarrassed.
At this critical moment, footsteps were heard from the door of Menghua Inn.
"Junior Brother Luo, what are you doing? Have you booked a room?" A gentle male voice sounded.
Afterwards, Chu Qi saw the monk who had looked troubled just now. After hearing these words, he walked towards the entrance of the inn in two steps as if he had seen a savior.
"Brother Ling, you are finally here! I haven't booked a room yet. Several fellow Taoists entered the Menghua Inn before me. Maybe my servants were a step slower when queuing at the city gate and failed to catch up. Now there are only nine rooms in the Menghua Inn."
The young monk in gorgeous clothes looked depressed. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his senior brother, especially since he was a young master from an aristocratic family who cared a lot about his reputation.
"Several fellow Taoists..."
Following the words of his junior brother, the visitor could not help but cast his eyes in the direction of Chu Qi, Yan Jiuge and others. After seeing the simple clothes of the sword cultivators, his eyelids jumped and he blurted out subconsciously, "Tianxuan Sect?"
"Ah? Tianxuan Sect? What Tianxuan Sect? Tianxuan Sect is in the north of Yunhua Realm, thousands of miles away from here. Brother Ling, why did you mention Tianxuan Sect for no reason?"
"You...you. Go stand in the back and wait for me."
He paused when he was about to open his mouth to explain. The cultivator called Senior Brother Ling by the young cultivator chased him back to the sect's team, and he took a step forward, meeting the gazes of everyone from the Tianxuan Sect.
"I am Ling Wu, the chief disciple of Qingling Sect. I didn't expect to run into fellow Taoists from Tianxuan Sect here. The one just now was our junior fellow disciple from Qingling Sect. He has just established his foundation and cannot see the spiritual patterns on your robes, so he did not recognize your identities and caused an unnecessary misunderstanding. I am very sorry."
It turned out that he was a disciple of the Qingling Sect.
When Chu Qi heard the person introduce himself, a flash of understanding flashed across his eyes. The disciples of the Qingling Sect rarely wear the sect's attire. It is said that they all have their own aesthetics, and most of them come from aristocratic families, so they are quite noble.
In addition, the Qingling Sect is divided into four factions: medical practitioners, magic practitioners, sword practitioners, and beast masters. It is difficult to unify the factions, so the disciples of the Qingling Sect do not wear the sect's clothing, but only engrave the sect's emblem on their own life spirit tools to show their identity.
As for the clothing of Tianxuan Sect's disciples, the robes would change according to the increase of their cultivation level. The sect emblem was a defensive spiritual pattern embroidered on the shoulders. Cultivators who were not at the same level or whose realm was higher than theirs could not see this sect emblem spiritual pattern.
Therefore, from the outside, cultivators below the Jindan stage look at them as just ordinary sword cultivators.
"… "
After hearing Ling Wu's words, most of the onlookers understood the identities of these sword cultivators. It turned out that they were sword cultivators from the Tianxuan Sect.
etc-
None of them could be seen by others with the sect spirit pattern, so are they all at the Golden Core Stage?
"hiss!"
The sounds of people gasping for air rang out one after another in the hall.
The strength of the Tianxuan Sect is so terrifying! Can you look down on Jindan-stage sword cultivators these days
"We have already reserved the room." Everything is based on first come first served. Even if the price is ten times higher, it is just a drop in the bucket for Yan Jiuge. There is nothing to worry about.
However, after Yan Jiuge said this, Chu Qi, who was standing beside him, gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Stopping the intention of continuing to speak, Yan Jiuge lowered his eyes, looked at his junior brother Chu, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I think it's a bit of a waste for each of us to live in a room..." Chu Qi pondered over his words, and looked at Yan Jiuge's expression. Seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he continued in a low voice, "If you don't mind living with me, the two of us can live in one room."
In this way, you can save five hundred spirit stones every day!
"Yes, yes, what Junior Brother Chu said makes a lot of sense. I also think we can share a room."
"Yes, it is more enjoyable to discuss swordsmanship with a fellow disciple on weekdays."
"Yes. That's what I thought too!"
"… "
Fellow sword practitioners all echoed Chu Qi's words.
Previously, they were shocked by the stupid and rich junior brother of Qingling Sect. They were originally in a state of watching, but now when they heard the proposal of "two people in a room", they couldn't help but agree.
The spirit stones saved in this way can be used to maintain the natal spirit sword!
Great, Junior Brother Chu! We couldn't agree more with your suggestion!
However, there seems to be a small problem. If two people share a room, there will be twenty-one people in total, so there will inevitably be one extra person... Oh no, it's one person per room.
Obviously, Yan Jiuge also noticed this problem. His deep eyes looked at his fellow disciples and said, "Even if two people share a room, there is still one disciple who wants to live alone."
"?"
This kind of good thing of living alone should of course be given to Junior Brother Chu! He is the only medical disciple in this training. No matter what, he deserves this honor.
Luo Wuci was about to speak, but Liu Weiming beside him spoke first, "I'll live alone. I don't need to discuss swordsmanship with others."
"Hmm?" Luo Wuci was even more surprised, even a little bit unbelievable, "Senior Brother Liu, you said before that you had a lot of experience talking to me about swordsmanship."
"That was before." Liu Weiming glanced at him.
“But Junior Brother Chu…” Senior Brother Liu, you are shameless. How could you rob Junior Brother Chu of the opportunity to live alone
Normally, I would never have thought that Senior Brother Liu would be such a person. Luo Wuci fell into a depressed mood.
"Don't you have ears? Junior Brother Chu just said that he wants to live with Senior Brother Yan." Liu Weiming was tired. If he hadn't stepped forward, Junior Brother Chu would definitely not have a room to himself. Junior Brother Luo was usually a good person, but now his head was full of straw.
"Oh, yes." Luo Wuci suddenly realized what had happened. Since it was Junior Brother Chu's wish, there was no question of whether to fight for the room or not.
After a brief discussion, the decision-making power returned to the head senior brother Yan Jiuge.
"Have you all made up your mind? Just book eleven guest rooms?" Yan Jiuge asked.
"Uh-huh."
Everyone nodded like chicks pecking at rice.
"We only need eleven guest rooms, and we don't need the remaining ten." Yan Jiuge said to the shopkeeper.
"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper just knew the identities of Yan Jiuge and others. Fortunately, he had a unique eye for people. When the Qingling Sect disciples raised the price, he did not get blinded by the money, otherwise he would have offended these sword-cultivating disciples of the Tianxuan Sect.
"Then our Qingling sect will book all the remaining guest rooms." Ling Wu said at this time.
"No problem." The shopkeeper nodded, looking at the two elite disciples of the two sects on his left and right, took a deep breath and said, "In addition, our shop has a promotion today, each room is 10% off, all guests just need to pay the 10% discount."
Money or not, how could it be more important than selling one of these talented and promising powerful monks
The shopkeeper knows everything.
"In that case, thank you very much, shopkeeper." Ling Wu smiled. The Qingling Sect had many industries, and he often dealt with these businessmen. Naturally, he understood the deep meaning of the shopkeeper's concession.
"It's up to you." Yan Jiuge didn't care whether there was a discount or not.
But at this moment, Yan Jiuge's brows were relaxed and his expression was quite relaxed. There was no trace of the indifference he had during the argument just now. Anyone who saw him would think that he was in a good mood.
Taking the door keys from the shopkeeper, Yan Jiuge kept one and distributed the rest to his fellow disciples.
Then, Yan Jiuge looked in Chu Qi's direction and asked him, "Qi, why don't you go back to your room and rest first?"
After many years, he is going to live in the same room with Aqi again.
