Chapter 42: The Way of the Gentleman
Seeing the boss treating such a sloppily dressed Taoist monk in such a sycophantic manner made many of the customers present, stare at them in bewilderment.
Seeing the staff kneel down, he nervously looked at Little Fatty and said, “Celestial elder, so~”
“Ask him to get up!” Little Fatty waved his hands and asked out of curiosity, “Did you know who I am?”
“Celestial elder must be joking. This is the first time I met you, of course, I would not know who you are. But, I have been here for over 10 years and have met all sorts of people. As such, I can tell in a single glance that you are a cultivator. My staff was blind and has offended you. On the account that he is young and ignorant, please forgive him!” The boss politely said.
Hearing what the boss said, everyone present took in a cold breath. A cultivation expert! What was that? That was like a celestial. They only heard rumours of such people in the secular realm. The rumours all said that they could control the weather, and are omnipotent. If this Taoist monk in front of them is such a celestial, that staff who offended him is really in grave danger. If his temper was bad, any random spell could make the staff wish he was dead. Plus, there would be no place to seek justice. Even the court would not dare to meddle in the affairs of a celestial cultivator.
The staff finally understood the boss’s intentions and knew that asking him to bow was to save him. If not, thinking about the consequences of offending a cultivator made him tremble in fear.
Little Fatty did not expect that this boss had such a good perception, but it was also expected. After all, he operated this inn for over 10 years at the foot of the Mystical Sky Temple. He would have definitely served countless of cultivators who went to the temple. It was normal for him to have such a good perception.
After he understood this, the devilish Fatty was also lazy to be too calculative with the staff and said, “This brat does not know how to control his mouth. I should have actually punished him. But since he knows his mistake, I am also lazy to calculate with him,”
“Thank you, thank you, celestial elder!” Seeing Little Fatty let the matter rest, he immediately cupped his hands and thanked him.
“Enough, enough. I am here to spend my night. Help me to prepare a quiet, secluded courtyard!” After he said that, he threw out 5 taels of gold and said, “This is the deposit, in case you’re afraid I run away!”
“That’s alright!” The boss said with embarra.s.sment, “Celestial elder, there’s no need for that. For you to stay here is our honour. How can we still collect money from you?” Saying this, he attempted to return the gold to Little Fatty.
How would Little Fatty want it back? He impatiently gestured and said, “I do not have the habit to stay and eat for free. Hurry and find a room!”
“Okay okay!” Seeing Little Fatty insist, the boss did not dare to say anything else and personally led him to the back courtyard.
After a few moments, the boss came back out. He went to the staff immediately and began to reprimand him, “How many times have I told you? Do not look down on others! Why do you have such a bad memory? It is lucky that you met an expert who is reasonable. If you met with an unreasonable evil cultivator, you will not even know how you died!”
“It, it can’t be?” The staff was scared silly.
“Why can’t it be? Do you know, this town has a lot of wealthy customers who died an unknown death?” The boss frustratedly said, “Remember, in future when you meet with a celestial elder who is dressed shabbily but has a very stable aura, you must be careful. Do not throw away your life just like that!”
