Bai Xue looked at the guy who suddenly appeared in front of her with confusion. She frowned and thought carefully for a long time before she remembered that she had seen him at home.

Bai Xue had only met Xue Mingzhi once and was not familiar with him, but she was deeply impressed by Xue Mingzhi's uncle Fu Hua.

When Fu Hua came to visit Shen Yuan, he would often bring her a lot of delicious food and some small toys, and Shen Yuan also had some impression of Xue Mingzhi who was brought by Fu Hua.

Bai Xue was naturally very happy to meet an acquaintance here and see that he helped her fight off the bad guys.

Waving her little paws and pointing at the room, Snow White kept making "weeping" sounds.

Looking at Bai Xue's gestures, Xue Mingzhi suddenly realized, "Are you saying that Mr. Shen is practicing in the room?"

Bai Xue nodded repeatedly, then waved her little paws in the direction of Qin Yuewu with a vicious look, as if urging Xue Mingzhi to beat up the bad guy in front of him.

Xue Mingzhi looked at Qin Yuewu, and the smile on his face slowly faded.

"Captain Qin, I need an explanation."

Qin Yuewu was completely panicked at this moment. He didn't expect that just finding a room would cause trouble for the young master of the Xue family, the Changyuan Earl.

Although this young master Xue Mingzhi is not the eldest son of the direct lineage, he was invited by the Imperial Observatory to join the Dao Forum because of his outstanding talent in cultivation.

The Xue family's status as an aristocratic family is not the best in the imperial capital, and their cultivation talent is not the most outstanding either. However, the combination of the two is enough for Xue Mingzhi to enter the circle of upper-class geniuses in the imperial capital. The people he comes into contact with are all sons of kings, princes, generals and ministers. The significance of this is self-evident.

Half a month ago, Xue Mingzhi's successful breakthrough to the Qi Transformation Realm attracted attention from all sides. His cultivation speed was even faster than that of some geniuses with higher talents than him, which immediately made Xue Mingzhi's reputation rise to a new level.

Even the old-fashioned Lord Changyuan held a birthday party under the pretext of celebrating his 50th birthday. But anyone with a discerning eye knew that this birthday party was to celebrate the birth of a true genius in the Xue family.

To offend such a genius is to offend Changyuan Bo. He is just a captain of the Western Army. He is nothing in front of Changyuan Bo, the commander-in-chief, and has no qualifications to compete with him.

With just one word from the Xue family, even if he had the cultivation level of the Qi Transformation Realm, he would be expelled from the Western Army and despised by all the powerful people in the entire imperial capital.

More importantly, the resources he needed to break through the Qi Transformation Realm were all the blessing of the imperial luck bestowed by his official position. Once he was expelled from the Western Army and lost the blessing of the imperial luck, his talent would simply not be able to support him to continue practicing.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuewu's rough face suddenly turned pale.

"Master Xue, I really didn't know the person in the room was your friend."

Xue Mingzhi waved his right hand and said coldly:

"No need to explain, you can leave after apologizing to Mr. Shen."

Qin Yuewu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he didn't care about apologizing at all. Instead, he spoke expectantly:

"Master Xue, after you apologize."

If Xue Mingzhi doesn't pursue the matter, it would be fine even if he were asked to kneel down and apologize.

Xue Mingzhi's face was grim: "After I go back, I will propose to my father to rectify the discipline of the Western Army. A captain of the Western Army actually robbed other people's houses in this market. It is a disgrace to the reputation of the Western Army!"

Qin Yuewu's face turned pale. Xue Mingzhi's words almost sentenced him to death.

Just after Xue Mingzhi scolded him, he suddenly felt a weak force coming from his trouser leg.

Bai Xue pulled his clothes and pointed at Qin Yuewu anxiously, then at herself.

Xue Mingzhi was a little confused at first, but when he saw Bai Xue holding her little head high, he immediately reacted.

"By the way, I also have to apologize to Miss Bai Xue!"

Qin Yuewu's face turned red instantly.

Xue Mingzhi stripped him of his status as the commander of the Western Army with just one sentence, and now he asked him to apologize to a beast, which showed that he did not take him seriously at all.

"Xue Mingzhi, you are going too far!"

Since he had lost his position as the captain of the Western Army and had offended the Xue family behind Xue Mingzhi, Qin Yuewu simply gave up.

"I've already paid the deposit for this room. It's this beast and the man inside that should leave."

Xue Mingzhi's eyes were fierce, and the two young men in gorgeous clothes behind him laughed out loud when they saw this.

"Hahaha! It seems that your Xue family's reputation is not very useful."

"Mingzhi, how about you trade that half drop of spiritual fluid to me and I'll take care of this guy for you?"

Xue Mingzhi did not care about the banter of the two young men in fancy clothes. He was paying attention to Shen Yuan's attitude in the room from beginning to end.

Now that he had witnessed this incident, he knew very well that this was a rare opportunity to get closer to Shen Yuan, so he naturally wanted to show himself in front of Shen Yuan eagerly.

But who would have thought that Qin Yuewu in front of him would dare to resist, which made him extremely angry.

At this moment, a cold voice came from the corridor.

"No noise allowed at the Moon Viewing Inn!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man wearing a moon-white gown with a waning moon embroidered on his chest walking up to the third floor.

Everyone's expression changed slightly, and they all recognized that the logo on the middle-aged man's chest was exactly the Wangyue Pavilion of the sect that built the Wangyue Inn.

Wangyue Pavilion is a major sect in Yunzhou that owns a blessed land of inheritance, and is second only to the powerful sect of Laojun Mountain.

In this era of spiritual energy tide, the influence of the sect is constantly increasing with the return of the spiritual energy tide.

Even though they were of extraordinary status, they could only abide by the sect's rules in front of the Moon Watching Pavilion. When Qin Yuewu saw the people from the Moon Watching Pavilion, he hurriedly said:

"Shopkeeper, you've come at the right time. I've reserved this room, but the person living inside is reluctant to move out, and has teamed up with other accomplices to occupy my room."

Qin Yuewu knew that he had completely offended Xue Mingzhi and there was no room for maneuver, so he simply relied on the fact that he had already paid for the room to take it away by force.

He could feel that the pure spiritual energy in the room must have come from some extraordinary treasure. If he could get it, maybe he could make up for some of his losses.

He is like a gambler who has lost all his money and is trying every possible way to get some benefits so that he won't lose too badly.

The shopkeeper of Wangyue Pavilion glanced at Xue Mingzhi and the other two, paused for a moment at Bai Xue who was guarding the door, then looked at the waiter who had been hiding aside and asked:

"Is what this guest said true?"

The waiter glanced at Qin Yuewu in panic.

He was a menial disciple recruited by Wangyue Pavilion after the spiritual energy tide. If he did well in Wangyue Inn, he would have a chance to become a real outer disciple.

But now he is involved in such a disaster. Once his advantages are exposed, he will be punished by the shopkeeper at best, or completely lose the qualification to become an outer disciple at worst.

Thinking of this, he could only bite the bullet and say:

"What the guest said is correct. He has indeed paid the deposit for the next few days, and the lease for this room is about to expire."

The waiter deliberately omitted the fact that there were still four hours left, as he just wanted to resolve the matter quickly so as not to implicate himself.

Upon hearing this, the owner of Wangyue Inn frowned slightly and looked at Xue Mingzhi and said:

“Since the ownership of this room has been decided, it belongs to this guest.

Instead, you protected your friend and obstructed this guest, violating the rules of Wangyue Inn."

"This is Yunfufang City, not the imperial capital of your Great Xia. Any so-called aristocratic family or clan has no privileges here.

This time, I will not make a fuss about it because you don’t know the rules. If it happens again, it will cause trouble for Wangyue Pavilion and Yunfu Market, and you will not be able to bear the consequences. "

When Xue Mingzhi heard this, his expression immediately became extremely ugly.

He knew very well that the sect and Da Xia were not on good terms, and if he insisted on moving out of the Xue family, he would definitely not gain any benefits here.

Bai Xue, who was standing by, suddenly became anxious. She pulled Xue Mingzhi's clothes and pointed at the waiter, shouting continuously.

Xue Mingzhi was a little confused. Bai Xue turned around, went into the room, picked up a few pieces of wood and put them in front of the door. She stretched out her little paws to pick up the pieces of wood and pointed them at the waiter.

Everyone looked intently and saw the strange patterns on the broken wood. They could also smell the strange fragrance coming from the broken wood.

"This is the finest Yunfu red sandalwood. Although it is just some broken pieces, it is perfect for making incense after being ground into powder."

A young man in Chinese clothes behind Xue Mingzhi couldn't help but comment.

Xue Mingzhi looked at Bai Xue's actions, his eyes lit up and he immediately understood what was going on.

"Ms. Bai Xue said that she had given some Yunfu red sandalwood to the waiter as room payment, but your waiter knew about it and selfishly kept the things, and even brought other people to occupy this room."

Hearing Xue Mingzhi explaining for her, Bai Xue nodded repeatedly.

Qin Yuewu was furious: "What nonsense! You actually believed a cat that can't even speak. It's ridiculous."

The owner of the Wangyue Inn also changed his expression slightly. He walked up to the shivering waiter and immediately smelled the scent of Yunfu rosewood from the waiter.

Although it was extremely weak, it was enough to confirm that the waiter had indeed come into contact with such a spiritual wood, and its source was naturally self-evident.

Although he knew the answer in his heart, the owner of Wangyue Inn fell into deep thought.

What happened on the third floor has already attracted the attention of many people. If it is revealed now that the waiter in his own store has deceived his superiors and hidden the spiritual objects, he, the shopkeeper, will be used as a tool. If the news spreads, it will definitely affect the reputation of Wangyue Pavilion.

From the perspective of interests, the best way at the moment is definitely to refuse to admit that the waiter had hidden the item. After all, the testimony of a cat that is not even a demon is of no value in gaining anyone's trust.

When he thought of this, the owner of Wangyue Inn was about to speak.

At this moment, the closed door was suddenly opened, and a handsome young man with an elegant temperament appeared in front of everyone.

The moment the door opened, pure spiritual energy spread in all directions like a tide, startling everyone present.

The owner of the Wangyue Inn looked at the young man in front of him. His aura was fluctuating and it was impossible to judge his cultivation level. His face was slightly pale and revealed a hint of fatigue.

He picked up the angry little kitten, stroked the little guy's head with his right hand, and said in a calm tone:

"May I ask the shopkeeper if what she said is true?"

It was clearly just a very ordinary inquiry, without any divine pressure or magical fluctuations.

But as the young man spoke, the shopkeeper seemed to feel that there was an emperor sitting in the sky, looking down at all living beings and issuing a supreme decree to him.

His body, magic power, and soul were all trembling constantly, and every cell seemed to be forcing him to submit to the young man in front of him.

Under the irresistible force, he completely forgot all the trade-offs of interests.

He lowered his head and answered with unprecedented reverence in his voice:

"yes!"
