525 – Group Breakthrough; Heading to Capital City (6)
Every year, lots of young people would come to Capital City with the hope of being accepted into School of Divine Condor. Thousands to tens of thousands of young people appearing in Capital City was one of its special scenes.
Which was why when Cheng Xiao Xiao and her group showed up within Capital City, others may have been stunned by their appearances, but not too surprised overall. It’d appear that they were already used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women here. Nobody bothered them but just went on with their own businesses.
They walked around for half a day before they reached the center of the city and found Laiyue Inn, a property of Green Mountain Manor. It seemed inns everywhere were always given the same name.
Cheng Xiao Xiao strongly despise the laziness of those at the Green Mountain Manor who wouldn’t even come up with a different name, as though they were worried that the world wouldn’t know that they were disgustingly wealthy businessmen.
Laiyue Inn was incredibly big. It was a three-story building with customers walking in and out nonstop. They stepped inside of it and, inside, the 200 or so square meters lobby was crowded with people and all of them gorgeously dressed wealthy people.
As soon as they walked inside, the server greeted them passionately. As soon as the innkeeper saw the pair, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He had just saw their drawings from their young master, how were they already here today?
“What is it? Innkeeper knows of us?” asked Mo Xuanzun nonchalantly as his fierce look scanned over the man in shock. The innkeeper immediately started shaking from his look. He quickly walked over and explained himself, “Young Master, Miss, yes, I do recognize the two of you. Our young master had told us that when you come to stay with us, we must give you the courtyard. This way please…”
He kept on rambling, but the meaning was obvious so nobody said anything else. They just followed him.
They followed him into the inner court and the innkeeper showed them an exquisite-looking quarter. He bowed to them and said, “Young Master, Miss, is there anything that I can get you?”
“Nothing for now. Prepare two large table of meals for us in a bit. There will be more joining us in a while,” Mo Xuanzun gave the orders nonchalantly.
“Yes, Young Master. I will pass that on immediately.”
The innkeeper left in a rush. He headed first to the kitchen and had them prepared two table’s worth of meal, then to the lobby and gave the server some orders, before he doubled back into the inner court.
Except, this time, he didn’t head back to where Cheng Xiao Xiao and her group was, but to another building back there.
This location was somewhat hidden and the green bamboos surrounding it made it especially serene. In fact, the building was not easy without any guidance.
The innkeeper walked over there briskly and knocked on the tightly shut door.
“C’mon in!” Came a crisp voice.
The innkeeper pushed open the door and walked inside. The man looking up from the chair was none other than Zhu Xiangyu, who had just returned from Sacred Land Zhongyuan. His eyes cold and expressionless, he asked, “What is it?”
“Young Master, the genius numerologist Mo Xuanzun of Temple of Divine Plans and Madam Cheng from Sacred Land Zhongyuan are here!”
“What?”
Zhu Xiangyu paused for a little and asked dubiously, “Are you sure about that?”
“Yes, I am sure, Young Master. It’s definitely them. I took a good look at them and they didn’t seem surprised that I recognized them either.”
“Why are they here in Capital City? I don’t recall anything big events going on recently.” Zhu Xiangyu frowned and gave the man in front of him a sideway glance. “Did something happen here in Capital City in the last couple of days?”
“No, Young Master. Nothing that I am aware of,” replied the innkeeper definitively.
“……”
Zhu Xiangyu ponder over it for a little bit but also couldn’t figure out why Cheng Xiao Xiao and Mo Xuanzun were here at Capital City.
