The waiter showed no joy at the arrival of guests, not even glancing at Xu Yuehuai. "It costs 300 spirit points per day to stay here. There's only one room left. Would you like to stay?"
Xu Yuehuai raised an eyebrow. This price was indeed not low. The inn in the Ghost Domain Forest only cost fifty spiritual points a day.
However, before Xu Yuehuai could reply, someone cut in line, shouting, "Stop!"
As he spoke, he placed a large ball of spiritual energy on the table. "I'll be staying for ten days."
They were a man and a woman. The woman was dressed in luxurious clothes, with all kinds of gold and silver jewelry on her ears, neck, head, and hands. Upon closer inspection, she was dressed like a nouveau riche. The man next to her was dressed in simple and elegant clothes.
When the waiter saw that someone really wanted to stay in a room, his face lit up with a smile. "Alright! I'll take you to your room right away!"
Xu Yuehuai was slightly dissatisfied and spoke up to stop them, saying, "I came here first, so this room should be given to me first."
"You're not staying here, so what's the point of giving it to you?" the nouveau riche woman said bluntly, arms crossed.
Xu Yuehuai's tone was also not very good, "Did I say I wasn't staying?"
As he spoke, Xu Yuehuai took out an empty spirit energy ball from his pocket.
The nouveau riche woman standing nearby thought Xu Yuehuai was going to produce a lot of spiritual energy, but when she saw an empty ball, she couldn't hide her mockery. "I said, are you planning to use this to stay at the inn? I'm afraid that won't work. You penniless pauper, get out of the way and don't block the way!"
However, Xu Yuehuai slowly began to inject spiritual energy into the spiritual energy ball. The nouveau riche woman and the waiter watched this scene quietly. After a short while, the light emitted from the previously empty ball was much brighter than what the nouveau riche had given out earlier.
The waiter didn't even need to test it to know that the spiritual energy here was more than enough for a ten-day stay.
For a moment, he was unsure who should move in.
The nouveau riche frowned as he watched Xu Yuehuai's actions, and asked suspiciously, "You..."
This spiritual power value is different from spiritual power, but they are both indeed a type of spiritual power.
On this continent, spiritual energy is scattered everywhere, and it is not easy to accumulate three hundred spiritual energy points. Moreover, many people come to Qingcheng to participate in the selection of Qingcheng Academy, so they will not waste their spiritual energy casually.
Converting spiritual energy into one's own spiritual energy is not easy, and converting it into a spiritual energy sphere is even more difficult and time-consuming.
But Xu Yuehuai accomplished this in the blink of an eye, which shocked the nouveau riche woman.
Upon seeing this, the man standing next to the nouveau riche woman became interested in Xu Yuehuai and tried to strike up a conversation, but was scared away by a look from the nouveau riche woman.
The waiter hadn't seen Xu Yuehuai's actions and assumed she had prepared it in her pocket beforehand.
"Esteemed guests... we only have one room left. Why don't you discuss who should stay there?" The waiter, wanting to avoid offending either guest, tried to smooth things over.
Seeing the waiter's attitude, the nouveau riche feigned anger and said, "Do you know who I am?! This inn belongs to the Pu family, and I am Yi Zhuo, a friend of Miss Pu!"
Although the waiter didn't recognize Yi Zhuo's face, he knew his name; Yi Zhuo was his young mistress's most valued friend.
"Is this...Young Master Wu Chen?" The waiter looked at the man next to Yi Zhuo. He hadn't recognized him at first, but now that he looked closely, he did look somewhat familiar!
Young Master Wu Chen is his young lady's fiancé!
"You're lucky you have any eyes." Yi Zhuo said arrogantly, completely oblivious to the strange looks from those around him.
"The fiancé came to the inn with his best friend, but without the person involved. Tsk tsk tsk, the Pu family is probably going to have some laughs coming out soon."
"Who says otherwise? Everyone in Qingcheng knows that this Yi Zhuo has completely fooled the only young lady of the Pu family. As a result, Miss Pu is like a fool and doesn't realize it at all. She is wholeheartedly devoted to him."
The people over there were having a lively discussion, and Xu Yuehuai took the opportunity to watch the drama unfold.
After learning the identities of the two, the waiter said apologetically to Xu Yuehuai, "This... sir, I'm really sorry, although you came first, they paid first, so this last room can only be given to them."
Xu Yuehuai is just observing the situation, but that doesn't mean she's truly willing to back down.
Recently, due to exams, almost all the guesthouses in the area are full. If even an expensive guesthouse like this only has one room left, you can imagine what the rest are like.
"What if I'm unwilling to give in?" Xu Yuehuai was not someone to be trifled with.
Izhuo looked at her amusedly, "What are you still struggling for here? Do you want to lose face like this?"
The waiter looked around and noticed that Yi Zhuo disliked Xu Yuehuai. He wanted to win over the owners, especially since the future male owner was also there.
"Sir, I advise you not to cause trouble here, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Xu Yuehuai didn't stand on ceremony and snorted coldly, "I heard all the way here that your shop is good and the most fair, but I didn't expect that after coming here, you're nothing special, just a bunch of rabble!"
Yi Zhuo naturally knew that Xu Yuehuai was saying that she was not presentable.
What Yizhuo hates most is being told that she is not qualified to do certain things because of her status!
She had already tried so hard, striving to become Miss Pu's playmate, accompanying her in doing all sorts of things. When something went wrong, she was the first to step forward and take the blame. It was precisely because of this that she built a good relationship with Miss Pu and that she has everything she has now.
So when others said she was not presentable, the first thing that came to her mind was how she had been following Miss Pu around like a dog these past few days.
"I said... you're courting death!" Yi Zhuo summoned his magical weapon and lashed it down hard at the spot where Xu Yuehuai was standing.
Xu Yuehuai narrowed her eyes slightly and dodged to the side, thus avoiding the danger.
However, the pillar behind her was not so lucky.
Yi Zhuo used all her strength in that whip strike, determined to kill Xu Yuehuai.
The commotion attracted the attention of everyone dining in the lobby, who began whispering amongst themselves about what was happening.
"Miss Yizhuo! This...fighting is not allowed in this shop." The waiter looked at the marks on the pillar and panicked for a moment.
If the innkeeper finds out that he discovered this and didn't stop it, he'll be kicked out of the inn today.
However, things didn't go as planned. Just as they were about to tell the shopkeeper not to come over, he came out from the inner room and asked, "What's going on outside? Why is it so lively?"
The shopkeeper came out with a smile on his face.
