After the receptionist said that, the White Snake King froze and remained silent for a long while.
Then he came to his senses and asked instinctively, "What important guest? Who could make this city stop accepting residents?"
Ever since he had come to this world, the city had served one purpose: taking in arrivals from other worlds so that the Mysterious World would not descend into chaos.
But he had never heard of the city going even a single day without receiving guests.
And now they were saying that one important guest had arrived, and the entire city was forbidden from accepting anyone else.
He found that deeply puzzling.
Why did it trouble him so much?
Because even one day without admitting newcomers could cause a great deal of trouble.
After asking his question, the White Snake King fell silent and waited for an answer.
The receptionist composed himself a little before saying, "Given that guest's status, you have no way of knowing who he is. He has also come here on important business concerning this city, so I can't tell you."
"If you're willing to wait, come back tomorrow. If you're not, there's nothing we can do. We have no authority to find you a place to stay right now."
The receptionist stopped there. He knew saying more would be useless; the matter was already settled.
He was only an ordinary receptionist. He could not defy his superiors.
The White Snake King fell silent. After a long while, he turned to Qin An and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry. I truly didn't expect this. Since we can't stay here now, let's head back out and spend the night outside. We'll return tomorrow and see what's going on."
He might have reached Perfection in the Dao Resonance Realm,
