Chapter 150 Eastern Region 13 Xie Jiaoyue trusted Xie Lingliu completely, ...
Xie Jiaoyue trusted Xie Lingliu completely, but upon hearing this, she still rushed back.
Although they kept most of their belongings in their storage rings, she kept the pajamas she had just received yesterday inside the house for convenience.
Those pajamas were so comfortable; she didn't want them to be thrown away so soon after she got them.
Xie Jiaoyue led the group behind her to the last corner in front of the inn, and suddenly had an epiphany, turning back to look at the corner.
She was too slow; she only caught a glimpse of a corner of clothing.
It looks very much like the color Chu Xingjin likes to wear.
It seems that Chu Xingjin is also involved in this matter. Criminals love to return to the crime scene and secretly enjoy the victim's sadness and pain. Chu Xingjin, a shallow male protagonist, is no exception.
When she returned to the inn, a considerable number of people had already gathered there.
It was clear that Jinlingcheng's companions, who had returned to the inn, found themselves unable to enter and were struggling with the innkeeper.
The waiter yelled, "What's wrong with the highest bidder winning! You bunch of poor bastards from the backwaters, your cultivation levels must be low too. You'd better go back and stop wasting spirit stones here!"
He was just using Xie Jiaoyue's influence to his advantage, because Xie Jiaoyue had given him a reward, and he actually had a good impression of her.
But he was just a waiter, and these things were all given by the manager. He just did what he was told. The manager had ordered them to be kicked out immediately, but he quietly persuaded them to stay one more night.
Unexpectedly, the usually indifferent shopkeeper discovered his little scheme and ordered him to drive all the people from Jinling City out today.
At most, he could only wait until Xie Lingliu and the others arrived before telling them about it; he didn't actually follow the shopkeeper's suggestion and pack their luggage directly.
Xie Lingliu and Pianxian remained composed, while the younger and less experienced one was so angry that she wanted to cry.
Xie Jiaoyue patted the little girl with tears in her eyes, walked through the crowd to the waiter, and asked, "How many spirit stones are they offering?"
The waiter was stumped by the question.
Although he had been instructed to use a high-bid strategy, they didn't dare to spread the news around openly; they only dared to talk about it within their own inn.
The expected guests did not come. It was not because they were kind to the people of Jinling City, but because the guests were worried that the innkeeper would not be able to get rid of the people of Jinling City and would not be able to make room. Therefore, they were all watching and no one actually took out spirit stones.
When Chu Xingjin and the shopkeeper made this suggestion, the shopkeeper raised the same question.
Chu Xingjin's answer at the time was that they could find someone to prepare a sum of spirit stones in advance, and then take them out when the time came.
At this moment, the shopkeeper offered a sure-fire suggestion: "Since the idea came from Young Master Chu, I can't let him offer it for nothing. If this suggestion is successful, I'll give Young Master Chu 30% of the net profit. However, Young Master Chu should also show some sincerity. How about Young Master Chu provides the spirit stones?"
"However, the waiter is timid, so we can't tell him about this, otherwise we'll be exposed. We'll leave the spirit stones at the inn for now, and give them to Young Master Chu as soon as a customer arrives."
"What if there are no customers?"
"With so many outsiders in the Buzhou Immortal Realm, how could there be no guests?"
The implication is that they won't give it to us.
The shopkeeper took a risk by implementing Chu Xingjin's suggestion. What's wrong with collecting some spirit stones?
Chu Xingjin originally wanted to find someone to pretend to be a guest for him, but there was too little time and he didn't know anyone, so he had to step in himself.
Although he was on the street corner, he had already taken advantage of the chaos to enter the inn. Now, wearing a mask and carrying his spirit stone bag, he walked forward from the corner.
"It's about twice the amount of spirit stones you all gave." Chu Xingjin deliberately changed his voice, afraid that acquaintances would recognize him.
Xie Jiaoyue almost burst out laughing when she saw it, but after suppressing her emotions, she directly exposed him: "Chu Xingjin, you are, Brother Xingjin?"
Chu Xingjin had been mingling in the Buzhou Immortal Realm for a long time and had gained some fame. Many of the onlookers in the inn recognized him.
"Huh, I saw this guy a few months ago. He was sleeping under a bridge back then. How come he can suddenly produce so many spirit stones?"
“I just remembered, I also gave him a few spirit stones.”
"Don't talk nonsense. This person has a good relationship with the Gongshi family now and knows that female devil Gongshi Chuo."
"Wow, how does he know Gongshi Chuo? Could it be that..." Everything was hidden in an ambiguous smile.
These people spoke very softly, but everyone present had some level of cultivation and could hear them to some extent.
Everyone in Jinling City perked up their ears, extremely curious about the gossip surrounding this former prominent figure of Jinling City.
Chu Xingjin repeatedly denied it: "Who is that? I don't know him. Who I am is not important. I've paid double the spirit stones, so you have to move out today."
By this time, many of the people from Jinling City had already returned to the inn. They all knew Chu Xingjin, and upon hearing Chu Xingjin speak like this, they couldn't help but frown.
What's going on? Chu Xingjin is considered a member of Jinling City, and Jinling City has never mistreated him. Why is this person making things difficult for them at this time?
Previously, they thought that although this person was not as good as Xie Jiaoyue in all aspects, he might be considered the second best person in Jinling City this generation, and one of the future stars of Jinling City.
Now it seems that this person's actions are not even a fraction as good as Xie Jiaoyue's.
Xie Jiaoyue couldn't help but touch the corner of her eye: "This one, fellow Daoist." Although she changed her form of address to a somewhat unfamiliar one, her tone and expression were full of affection, so much so that everyone could see it.
"Fellow Daoist, are you really going to kick us out?"
"It's not that I'm heartless, but I also have relatives and friends who need to stay at the inn; it's a last resort."
"Alright, in that case, fellow Daoist, please hand over the spirit stones to the waiter. Waiter, hurry up and put it on the tab!"
The waiter, completely oblivious, thought someone had actually come and was willing to pay more spirit stones. Ignoring Chu Xingjin's signal, he happily accepted the spirit stones, quickly wrote down the numbers in the ledger, and then threw all the spirit stones into his spirit stone bag and put them away.
Chu Xingjin was heartbroken. Others might not know, but he knew perfectly well that if no one came to take over, he would truly never get his spirit stones back.
Moreover, in order to prevent Xie Jiaoyue from collecting spirit stones, he threw away all the spirit stones he had.
If he really loses it, he won't even have the spirit stones to buy a basic spirit-restoring pill.
After that, even participating in the overall competition became a problem.
Chu Xingjin's hands, which were behind his back, were already sweating. It's alright, it's alright. There are throngs of tourists now, and someone will definitely take over. The spirit stones he has painstakingly saved up will definitely not be a problem.
Xie Jiaoyue watched the waiter keep track of the accounts, and after the waiter finished the last entry, she contacted Gong Shi Moyu.
Where are you?
"Soon."
Xie Jiaoyue looked up and found the waiter still staring at her with a puzzled expression.
"Miss Xie, why aren't you packing your things and leaving?" He had gone easy on them and hadn't thrown their things out immediately, but if they didn't get them out soon, he was afraid he would get a severe scolding from the boss later.
Xie Jiaoyue looked at the waiter with a big smile: "Let me wait for my brother, and then we can go and pack together, okay?"
"I can only give you a quarter of an hour at most, no more than that."
Chu Xingjin protested, "I've already spent spirit stones, do you expect me to keep waiting? I want to move in now!"
Delay will only lead to unforeseen changes.
The waiter said, "Young master, we need to tidy up the room at least. They'll pack their luggage while we tidy up, it'll take at least fifteen minutes, we can't rush it."
This person is so heartless. He couldn't even wait a quarter of an hour. He's just like his unscrupulous boss.
"What's the rush? Who gave you permission to run the inn like this? Do you really think the Heavenly Court doesn't exist anymore?"
A sharp shout came from the doorway.
The innkeeper, who had been silently observing the situation upstairs, suddenly jumped up from his chair.
What's going on? Why is the Heaven and Earth Bureau here?
The Heaven and Earth Bureau has been incredibly busy lately, how could they possibly arrive so quickly!
