After walking for a while, Xu Fei said, "Brother, look how many people there are. We need to find a place to stay, otherwise all the good inns will be taken, and we'll have to sleep on the streets! But, I'm used to sleeping on the streets, so it's not a problem for me. But you guys are all so pampered; it's so beneath you to sleep on the streets!"
Xie Feng nodded. "Okay."
Xu Fei's eyes darted around for a while, and after looking around, he excitedly exclaimed, "Based on my careful analysis and comparison, I've found the inn that costs the least and is the most affordable!"
As he spoke, he proudly stretched out his hand and pointed to the opposite side.
Everyone looked over, then suddenly fell silent.
Gu Yu grinned. "Are you... are you sure this is an inn?"
Yao Cang blinked, looking at it several times. "Although I'm a carefree demon Demon-Burying Demon, as far as I know, even the worst inn isn't this shabby..."
The place Xu Fei mentioned was a thatched hut!
Calling it a "house" is an exaggeration.
More accurately, it was just a dilapidated pavilion made of old, rotten thatch, drafty on all sides.
What's even more astonishing is that several burly, drunk men were lying inside, along with a few guests who had nowhere to put their feet. The drunks were snoring loudly, some even producing magnificent melodies.
Two waiters ran back and forth, serving tea and water to the guests. A thick layer of oil floated on the tea, and there was a piece of chive stuck to the rim of the cup. The guests didn't mind, picked it up, closed their eyes, and gulped it down.
After that, everyone fell silent for a long time.
Gu Yu spoke first, "Sorry, I'm a rich kid. Rich kids can't live here!"
Yao Cang also said, "I'd rather sleep on the mountain..."
At this moment, Little Nine jumped onto Xie Feng's shoulder, its long, thin tail pointing straight ahead.
There stood a grand and luxurious inn.
It seemed to possess its own protective barrier, luxurious yet otherworldly, completely out of place with the surrounding secular world.
There are significantly fewer people coming in and out of this place.
Xu Fei stared wide-eyed at the signboard above the inn. " Carefree Inn! Wow, they've opened a branch here!"
Xie Feng asked, "Is it very famous?"
Xu Fei nodded frantically. "This is the most famous inn in the North, known for its luxury and catering mainly to the wealthy. As far as I know, there are six thousand of them in the North alone! As for outside the North, I don't know."
"Let's go take a look."
Xie Feng said this, then turned and walked away.
Xu Fei said, "Brother, this is the most expensive one, I don't have any money!"
Xie Feng smiled slightly.
Gu Yu rolled her eyes. "Aren't you ashamed? Look at who you're working for now! Does your master need your money? Your master has several banks of his own!"
"That's amazing..." Xu Fei exclaimed in surprise.
"Let's go!" Gu Yu urged.
"Alright!" Xu Fei immediately felt relieved.
They arrived at the Carefree Inn, where two people greeted them, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
Although they are good-looking, their eyes are sharp and piercing.
This shows that these two must be exceptionally skilled!
Gu Yu swaggered up to the woman in the purple dress on the stage; he never hid his appreciation for beautiful women.
He leaned against the edge of the stage, blew on his bangs, and said in a greasy tone, "Hey beautiful, have you eaten yet?"
The woman in pink, used to such scenes, simply looked down to find paper and pen, not even raising an eyebrow. "How many people? How many rooms do you need? Names?"
Gu Yu, though feeling awkward and embarrassed, adopted a more serious stance and said, "Five people, five rooms, and the location needs to be good."
Then he said his name.
The woman in pink quickly made notes, then said, "First floor or second floor? First floor, ten silver coins per person, fifty coins in total. Second floor has the VIP section, which is safer and has better service, one hundred silver coins per person, five hundred coins in total!"
Gu Yu scratched his head. "This... let me ask..."
Xie Feng had already arrived and said calmly, "Second floor."
As he spoke, he placed down five gold coins.
The woman in pink looked up at him, then casually pushed the two gold coins back to Xie Feng.
Xie Feng raised an eyebrow. "What's this?"
The woman in pink crossed her arms and smiled naturally, "I gave you a discount because you're handsome!"
Gu Yu's eyes widened instantly. "Although Master is indeed a handsome man, am I not handsome? Why don't you even glance at me, young lady?!"
Upon hearing this, the woman in pink gave him a serious look, then smiled without saying a word.
The Gu Yu instantly wilted, like a defeated rooster...
That one glance was incredibly damaging to his male pride...
Xu Fei was completely stunned.
He asked timidly, "Is it alright for you to do this, young lady?"
The woman winked at him. "My dad owns this place! Oh, and that's my brother next to me. He's a huge womanizer. If the girl you're with goes to his place, she'll get a discount!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw the man next to them staring at A Ling with wide eyes.
Perhaps it was because he saw things openly and honestly, without any lewdness, that his clear-eyed foolishness amused A Ling.
Xu Fei gave a dry laugh, "Well, let's forget about that..."
The woman in pink asked in confusion, "Why?"
Xu Fei said in a low voice, "My older sister has a bad temper. I'm afraid your brother might lose his head!"
The woman in pink turned slightly pale and quickly handed Xie Feng a stack of room nameplates.
Xie Feng took the wooden sign to the second floor.
The others followed.
At that moment, a group of people walked in from outside the gate.
The two groups of people brushed past each other.
Xu Fei at the very back. Because she was in a hurry, she didn't notice and bumped into a bearded man on the opposite side.
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! Did I make anything dirty?"
He quickly apologized, then bent down and gently patted the clothes on the shoulder of the bearded man.
"Are you blind? Don't touch me!"
The bearded man shoved Xu Fei, sending him sprawling onto his back.
"I'm in a good mood, so I won't bother with you today!" The bearded man snorted and swaggered away.
Xu Fei quickly got up from the ground and scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly.
He was used to swallowing his anger, and seeing that the bearded man didn't make a fuss, he actually breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly jogged to catch up with Xie Feng's group.
Yao Cang witnessed this scene.
He frowned and said, "That bearded man was too much! You already apologized, and he still pushed you!"
Xu Fei smiled bitterly, "I'm used to it. Let it be. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, it's fine. Don't tell my brother, I don't want to cause trouble for everyone!"
Yao Cang, exasperated, yelled, "Coward!"
Xu Fei sighed and said helplessly, "Do you know who those were just now? They were from the Thunder Sect!"
How did you know?
Look at their badges!
Yao Cang looked over and saw that the group was already talking to the woman in pink.
They wore matching white robes, with a purple elephant wreathed in lightning engraved on their breastplates.
The leader was a young man who, instead of wearing a white robe, wore a very luxurious and dazzling black fox fur cloak.
A man with a thick beard was also beside him.
Unlike his arrogant and domineering behavior when he bullied Xu Fei earlier, he now had a fawning expression, as if he wanted to lick the soles of the man in the cloak's shoes.
