Chapter 140 Eastern Region 3 Xie Jiaoyue returned after counting the people, just...
Xie Jiaoyue returned after counting the number of people and had just stood back in front of Gong Shi Moyu when she received a glare.
She looked at Gongshi Chuo in front of her with a puzzled expression, not understanding where his sudden hostility came from.
Based on the principle that it's better to avoid trouble when you're far from home, she rolled her eyes and ignored it.
Gongshi Chuo naturally didn't miss this eye roll, and seeing Gongshi Moyu's attitude towards Xie Jiaoyue made her even more uncomfortable.
This woman is dressed so plainly, and the aura she exudes indicates that her cultivation level is average. Apart from being decent-looking, she has no other merits. How can you compare to her?
She is the most cherished daughter of the Gongshi clan of the Eastern Region, a rising star who is sure to shine in this regional competition.
Just as he was about to say something to Xie Jiaoyue, his companion pulled him back.
The one who pulled her back was her older sister, who whispered to Gong Shichuo, "There are a lot of people around lately, don't cause trouble."
Gong Shichuo was unhappy. She was highly talented and her cultivation was ahead of her peers. She had been pampered by those around her since she was a child and was not the type to suffer a loss. She said in a low voice, "Fine, I'll give my sister some face."
But when it was finally their turn in line, Gong Shichuo took out his nameplate with his clan emblem and said to the city gate guards in a voice that could be heard behind him, "The people coming to Buzhou Immortal Realm lately have been a mess. You'd better check them carefully and not let anyone who shouldn't be let in, or you'll be in trouble."
The guard glanced at Gongshi Chuo, finding these cultivators from powerful families utterly annoying, yet his words still sounded like those of a competent working person: "Thank you for the reminder, Fairy Gongshi."
After Gong Shichuo finished speaking, he didn't leave. Instead, he stood at the door for a while longer, putting pressure on the guards.
Under the pressure exerted by Gong Shichuo's gaze, the guard felt immense pressure and broke out in a cold sweat, subconsciously becoming even more stern with Xie Jiaoyue.
"Bring out your nameplates, the travel documents issued by the Heaven and Earth Bureau, and the letter of introduction for the All-Region Competition signed by the Director of the Heaven and Earth Bureau. During the All-Region Competition, apart from the natives of the Buzhou Immortal Domain, no one may enter without these documents."
Although Xie Jiaoyue was not very old before she transmigrated, she was also under pressure from her parents and brothers, and her identity was concealed. She was thrown into a company to work for a period of time. Under the enormous work pressure, she cursed her boss. So she naturally understood the guard's current state of mind.
She wasn't angry at all; instead, she smiled and softened her tone, making people feel comfortable: "Alright, these are all the documents for the people of Jinling City. They've been sorted according to our queue order. The guards can just check them one by one."
After she finished speaking, the guard's previously gloomy mood immediately felt much better. This girl was both capable and eloquent.
Thinking about his attitude just now, how he was so fierce to such a cute little girl, and then thinking that his daughter was about the same age as this little girl, he felt that he really deserved to die.
The guard first reviewed Xie Jiaoyue's information, paying special attention to her name. Then, grinning at Xie Jiaoyue, he said, "These documents are all in order. Go in. Oh, right, you're waiting for your companion, right? Stand here and wait."
The guard offered Xie Jiaoyue a spot and even adjusted her umbrella so she wouldn't be exposed to the blazing sun.
Xie Jiaoyue reciprocated with a bowl of chilled mung bean water, which effectively relieved the heat in her heart under the sun.
Gongshi Chuo, who was watching from a short distance away, grew increasingly dark-faced.
"A sycophantic scoundrel!"
The older sister pulled Gong Shichuo: "Alright, our little Chuo doesn't need to pay attention to anyone else. Let's hurry back. Our family is waiting for us. Mother has also prepared spiritual food, all of which are your favorites."
After pulling for a while, they finally managed to pull the person away.
Thirty people from Jinling City arrived. Even if each person only took a minute, it would still take a full half hour. Xie Jiaoyue waited for a long time until everyone had finished their verification. The group then assembled and formed a mighty procession heading towards the Buzhou Immortal Realm.
Xie Jiaoyue was still walking at the front, her steps were very fast, revealing her longing for the Buzhou Immortal Realm and her inner excitement.
Gong Shi Moyu stopped Xie Jiaoyue: "Walk slowly, be careful not to fall."
Xie Jiaoyue said, "With my current physical condition, I don't think I'll fall down, right? Don't always treat me like a little girl from Earth."
Gongshi Moyu agreed with Xie Jiaoyue's logic, but still felt that walking too fast was not good, not to mention falling down, it was easy to get injured if you bumped into someone.
He knew Xie Jiaoyue very well and came up with a reason that Xie Jiaoyue would find hard to refuse: "Your steps are too bouncy, and your carefully prepared hairstyle today will easily become messy."
Xie Jiaoyue immediately took out a mirror and said, "Really? It seems there are some. Then I'll walk slower."
Although her pace slowed down, Xie Jiaoyue's excitement remained undiminished. Her eyes roamed around, taking in no fewer than ten kinds of food she had never seen before, as well as all sorts of beautiful clothes and jewelry that she had never seen before, making her want to go and explore.
Of course, Xie Jiaoyue could still distinguish between what was important and what was not. So many people needed to have their accommodations sorted out first, and other things could be put on hold.
Following the address given to her by Director Baili, she led a group of people along the street. After walking for about half an hour, Xie Jiaoyue saw a huge plaque.
Buzhou Inn.
There's also a line of smaller text: Stack number eleven.
The name sounds like it belongs to a place called the Heavenly Court. They're quite clever; they've opened a chain of stores.
Xie Jiaoyue glanced back and asked Gongshi Moyu to keep an eye on everyone so they wouldn't get lost. Then she went into Buzhou Inn and found the waiter at the counter.
"Waiter, I'm from Jinling City." She handed over her name card. "Director Baili has already booked rooms for us."
The waiter didn't even look up: "Chief Baili? Which Chief Baili? There are eight hundred Chief Baili in the entire region, which one are you?"
"Baili Tao".
The waiter flipped through the ledger in his hand, his eyes quickly scanning the lines. After searching for a while, he said, "No."
Xie Jiaoyue: "Huh? Take another look, it's impossible."
The waiter rolled his eyes: "Go away, can't you see I'm busy? The inn is already full, don't get in the way."
Xie Jiaoyue quickly checked the matter with Director Baili, and upon checking, Director Baili realized that he had forgotten to make a reservation.
Xie Jiaoyue: [How come you haven't forgotten that you're the director of Jinling City?]
Baili Tao: [It's alright, it's alright. Just lend me the spirit stones first, and I'll have someone bring them to you in a few days. I promise I won't cheat you!]
Xie Jiaoyue rummaged through her empty spirit stone bag. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but that she couldn't.
She turned her head and saw Gongshi Chuo, whom she had already met once earlier that day.
Gong Shichuo raised an eyebrow: "Oh, you want to stay here too? No spirit stones? Then why don't you go to the end of this street, turn left and go about 500 meters away? There's a fairly large bridge there, and the hole under the bridge is big enough to accommodate your group."
Gong Shichuo slammed a spirit stone on the table: "Waiter, book me a top-tier room."
The waiter said, "Alright, are you staying here by yourself?"
"Why would I stay here instead of going home? It's all for my friend. His name is Chu Xingjin."
Xie Jiaoyue: ! !
He's an old acquaintance.
[System, tell me, isn't it a bit too shabby for the protagonist to stay in such a nice inn while his fiancée has to sleep under a bridge? It's embarrassing for the protagonist and makes him seem incompetent.]
The system only replied with two words: 【Don't lie.】
