However, at this time...
Not only were the people on this side shocked, but many of the people around who witnessed this scene were also shocked.
One of the servants, the same one who had led Lin Xiuyuan upstairs to the private room, was now devoid of his previous smile and respectful demeanor. He stepped forward, his face cold, and said, "Senior Lin, although you are a VIP, it is against the rules of Wanbaolou to make a move. Please do not continue, otherwise..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiuyuan felt several Foundation Establishment stage divine senses intertwining and coming towards him. They were all powerful individuals in the mid-to-late stages of Foundation Establishment, and they locked onto him directly.
It was as if they would appear and suppress him if he made the slightest move!
...
The air seemed to stagnate, as several powerful divine thoughts intertwined and approached, as if they were about to erupt at any moment, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
Under these circumstances, Lin Xiuyuan remained calm and composed, taking out a token and handing it to the side.
The servant looked down, paused for a moment, then picked it up with both hands and handed it back to Lin Xiuyuan.
Upon seeing this scene, those Foundation Establishment stage experts immediately withdrew their divine senses.
In an instant, the grim situation vanished.
The servant's solemn expression immediately vanished, replaced by a smile. He said, "Since you are a second-level VIP of my Wanbaolou, such a small matter is naturally no problem. However, since we are open for business, Senior Lin, it would be best not to take action. Otherwise, the stewards in the building will intervene."
Having said that, the waiter hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the spiritual herb, and said to another clerk behind the counter, "We're open for business, and unless the Han family's retainer comes, or a VIP in our establishment requests something special, that's fine. But what's going on here? If word gets out, what will outsiders think of Wanbaolou?"
As the servant spoke, he glanced at Lin Xiuyuan almost imperceptibly, as if hinting at something.
Lin Xiuyuan understood the implication, and his expression turned slightly serious.
Korean offering?
Is it the offering at Wanbaolou?
For a moment, Lin Xiuyuan's heart sank. He had thought that Han Chentu was so arrogant and domineering only because of his family background and status as a direct descendant of the Han family.
But unexpectedly, the Han family actually had a guest elder from Wanbaolou!
Although he knew from the beginning that the Han family had three Golden Core Ancestors and was wary of them, he never expected that one of them would be a retainer of Wanbaolou!
This incident deepened Lin Xiuyuan's apprehension.
Even a Golden Core cultivator cannot easily become a guest elder and enjoy abundant resources; naturally, one must be a powerful figure in this realm!
Clearly, the Han Erhe mentioned by Han Chentu is probably the same Han surname retainer that this servant mentioned!
No wonder Han Chentu was so arrogant, Lin Xiuyuan suddenly realized.
In a world where Nascent Soul cultivators often secluded themselves for sixty to a hundred years, rarely appearing in the cultivation world, Golden Core cultivators were almost always at the top level. Especially those at this level, who possessed the demeanor of a hegemon.
Knowing this only deepened Lin Xiuyuan's apprehension.
At this moment, the servant picked up the spirit herb, put it in a jade box, turned around and handed it to Zhou Qingxue, saying, "Miss Zhou, I'm sorry. This matter was wrong of Wanbaolou. Since Miss Zhou came first to buy this spirit herb, it naturally belongs to you. It was the waiter who was unreasonable and caused this trouble. Consider this spirit herb as an apology to Miss Zhou."
If Lin Xiuyuan hadn't stepped in earlier, things would have just continued as they were. He wouldn't have shown up at all, much less sent the spirit herbs to Zhou Qingxue as an apology.
After all, although Han Chentu was not a member of Wanbaolou, they had some connection!
But now that Lin Xiuyuan has stepped in, things are different.
VIPs are VIPs, and naturally they enjoy special privileges.
Although Han Chentu has a more powerful background and is the grandson of that Han Gongfeng, he is not in Han Gongfeng's presence, and Han Chentu has no connection with his Wanbaolou.
On the contrary, Lin Xiuyuan being a second-level VIP proves that he can bring considerable benefits to Wanbaolou.
Although Wanbaolou is a large force, it is mainly business-oriented. The reason for its existence is purely for business, not for the sake of a sect.
If Lin Xiuyuan were just an ordinary Level 3 VIP, it wouldn't matter. This status is mostly for retaining customers, and Level 3 VIP tokens are issued in abundance, so there's nothing to care about.
However, those who reach the second-level VIP level are basically either powerful cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage or customers who can bring in tens of millions of transactions.
This is clearly unusual. You see, ordinary low-grade mines, even those of average quality like the one in the previous summoning quest, only produce a few million to a few million spirit stones.
This comparison clearly demonstrates the weight of the Level 2 VIP token.
In comparison, since it wasn't Han Gongfeng in person, there was naturally no reason for Han Chen to show him any respect.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Qingxue was taken aback. With a hint of joy, she accepted the jade box and turned to look at Lin Xiuyuan with a touch of amazement.
Seeing Han Chentu being taught a lesson like that made Zhou Qingxue feel quite relieved. She felt that Lin Xiuyuan was too domineering and arrogant, but she was also a little impulsive and couldn't help but feel a little worried about him.
After all, she was very clear about Han Chentu's background; otherwise, how could an ordinary person dare to act like this in front of her? They would probably be buried by the Zhou family's powerful members in the blink of an eye, leaving not even ashes.
I originally thought Lin Xiuyuan was too reckless, unaware of Han Chentu's background, and acted impulsively, even daring to make a move right there in Wanbaolou.
