In the penthouse bedroom, Nangong Yu'er waved her hand to her subordinates, "Liu Ji abused his power for personal gain. Remove him from his position as manager of the restaurant. Don't make any rash moves against that group of diners. Go and investigate their background."
"yes."
Nangong Yu'er leaned against the table, the scene from just now replaying in her mind. The arrogant and unruly demeanor of that strange man had truly left a deep impression on her.
As the young master of Tingfeng Tower, her influence was astonishing. With Tingfeng Tower's vast resources, it had influence across the Qi and Yan kingdoms, the underworld and legitimate society, the military and the martial arts world—wherever goods and money were needed throughout the Nine Provinces, Tingfeng Tower was ubiquitous. With such power backing, her status was comparable to that of a princess of a great nation.
Ordinary people, like Liu Ji, would be eager to curry favor; how could they be as rude as that man?
He was a bit rude, but he was really good-looking.
Nangong Yu'er shook off the distracting thoughts in her mind. Her marriage was arranged by her family, so why bother with such useless considerations?
After traveling for two days from Wei to Yan, Nangong Yu'er was feeling quite tired. She urged the kitchen to hurry up and serve the food, then slowly finished her meal and prepared to go to bed. Before she could even change into her pajamas, a commotion broke out outside.
She got up to look, but before she reached the door, she heard the man's voice again.
"What's going on with you guys? I clearly booked this room first!" He Yunxiao shouted from outside.
"Shut up, boy, don't disturb our young master's rest."
"She slept in Zhang's room! Where did Zhang go to rest? Don't you, sir, need to be reasonable when you travel the world?" He Yunxiao shouted.
Nangong Yu'er walked to the door, but instead of opening it herself, she placed her delicate hands, which were never used in intimate situations, folded in front of her. With graceful movements and an indifferent tone, she asked, "What brings you to the door?"
The female martial artist entered and reported, "Young Master, the brat who stole our private room is here again. He insists that this bedroom is his too. Young Master, I request permission to intervene and beat him out of here."
Nangong Yu'er frowned and asked, "Is there any news about him?"
“Young Master, this place is in the middle of nowhere. We should be able to investigate from Jingtian City.”
"Has he ever practiced martial arts?"
"His cultivation level should be at the ninth rank."
Nangong Yu'er's beautiful eyes brightened slightly as she asked, "How old do you think he is?"
The female martial artist said, "She's in her early twenties, around twenty-two or twenty-three years old."
Nangong Yu'er nodded approvingly and said, "Brother reached the ninth rank at the age of twenty-one. If he's twenty-two or twenty-three, he's certainly exceptionally talented. This person also has two beautiful young ladies with him. They might be the sons of some powerful figures or direct disciples of a reclusive sect. My Tingfeng Tower is a large and powerful family, but we still have to be careful. Just to be on the safe side, we can't be negligent. Please open the door for me."
"It is the young master."
Nangong Yu'er was still wearing a veil as before. She bowed slightly to He Yunxiao and said, "Young master, this place is my family's property. The top floor is only for the use of my family members and we refuse to lend it out. So there is no such thing as Yu'er 'using' your room."
He Yunxiao shrugged. "I've already paid."
Nangong Yu'er said calmly, "May I ask how much you paid, young master? I will return it all to you."
He Yunxiao said, "One million taels."
"How dare you! You brat, how dare you mock our young master!"
He Yunxiao stepped forward and shielded Xiaoxiao and Nanzhu behind him.
"Did you just say that this is your family's property?"
Nangong Yu'er stared into He Yunxiao's eyes and said, "That's right."
"Very well, young lady, you are in business, and so am I. May I ask you, young lady, what is the most important thing in the way of business?"
"Sincerity".
“Not bad,” He Yunxiao nodded approvingly. “I paid for this room in advance, so my rental contract is now in effect. If it were an ordinary person, they would just be seen as domineering for taking over my room. But you are the young master of this place, so it means something else.”
Nangong Yu'er frowned and asked, "How are they different?"
He Yunxiao snorted coldly, "The manager represents this restaurant, and so does the young lady. The manager rented this room to me, but the young lady took it back without my consent. This is a breach of contract and dishonest. I'll sell the young lady my integrity for one million taels. If you think about it carefully, the young lady still makes a profit."
Nangong Yu'er argued forcefully, "This rooftop is not supposed to be rented out; the manager violated the rule first. Yu'er has already punished him."
He Yunxiao chuckled and said, "So what? Whatever the innkeeper did or whatever methods the young lady used, those are matters within the restaurant. What does it have to do with me, an outsider? I'm just a guest, and now the room I finally booked has been taken by the young lady, that's all."
After arguing for a long time, one of Nangong Yu'er's Grandmaster-level guards said, "Young Master, I can take this person's life in no time."
Another master said, "Young master, you are too kind. In the martial world, it is ultimately about strength. This kid is ignorant and arrogant. You should teach him a lesson he doesn't know the immensity of the world."
He Yunxiao chuckled and said, "Little girl, if you can't win an argument, you're starting to get ready to fight?"
Nangong Yu'er frowned and said, "They are Grandmasters."
He Yunxiao laughed heartily, "Grandmaster? I can achieve that in a year. Uncle, sir, how old are you this year?"
The two Grandmaster-level martial artists closed their eyes and breathed, suppressing their inner anger.
The older grandmaster said to Nangong Yu'er, "Young master, I humbly request to exchange a move with this young man."
He Yunxiao appeared arrogant, but he had actually secretly grabbed Xiaoxiao's hand, preparing to ask for help. To prevent the Grandmaster from eavesdropping, he directly used his internal energy to transmit his voice through her skin.
