Chapter 16 (2/2)

This was because he recognized Xia Qingchen, the VIP that Wang Bahu was talking about!

Today, the Immortal Pavilion was only open for Xia Qingchen!

However, Xia Qingchen gave him a look, signaling him to keep things quiet.

The guard understood tacitly. He instantly changed his expression and spoke to Xia Qilin, “I’ve recalled it. So you are Xia Qilin, Young Master Xia. This lowly one must be blind, couldn’t recognize Mount Tai even if it is before me.”

Xia Qilin was currently extremely embarrassed and angry. Now that the guard’s attitude abruptly turned 180 degrees, he couldn’t help but be startled.

“Young Master Xia’s great name is like thunder piercing my ears. I’m impressed completely and would even dream about taking a look at you. I didn’t expect that you would come here today. Your presence truly brings lights to the Immortal Pavilion!” In truth, he had never even heard of Xia Qilin’s name before. The words he had spoken were just something he randomly made up on the spot.

Xia Qilin rubbed his nose as he mused silently, was his fame really so great?

But since the guard was willing to give in, it could be considered that the breath of bad qi in him was exhaled. He snorted, “We will forget about it this time. In the future, you best pay more attention to your tone when speaking to me. If there is a next time, I won’t spare you!”

“Yes, yes, yes. This little one knows that I’m in the wrong,” the guard hurriedly conceded, yet his heart was filled with contempt. “Is this daddy someone a brat like you can teach a lesson to? If it isn’t for Xia Qingchen, I would have already crushed you to death!”

But he still maintained a smile on his face. “Everyone, please come with me.”

Zhao Churan’s eyes gleamed brightly. He spoke in a low voice, “Big brother Qilin is so awesome. Everyone has to give you face in Lone Cloud City.”

“Haha, you praise me too much.” Xia Qilin’s face flashed with a few hints of arrogance.

Even the silkpants young master and the other young man with a cold sharp gaze felt that Xia Qilin was impressive.

Xia Qingchen followed behind them quietly, his expression was incomparably calm.

They passed by the top-tier and most expensive private room, the immortal room. They could see peak experts of the Immortal Pavilion neatly lined up in rows, as well as beautiful female attendants here, ready to take orders at any time. The top-tier chefs from the city were also here preparing to serve delicacies.

Rare wines that couldn’t be seen in the outside world, delicacies shipped over from the capital, priceless wine cups, wine flasks—luxurious items were everywhere. It was a banquet fit for a king.

Xia Qilin’s eyes were filled with shock. “I wonder what sort of grand character is coming. That person could actually cause the Immortal Pavilion to give them such preferential treatment!”

The silkpants young master had a look of respect on his face. That sort of existence was something he wasn’t even qualified to look up to.

Zhao Churan was also filled with envy. For such a luxurious banquet, she didn’t know if she would have a chance to attend one in her life.

With reluctance in their hearts, they left and headed to one of the lowest-price cloud rooms.

When compared to the luxurious immortal rooms, the cloud rooms were clearly much simpler. But this was only comparatively speaking. When compared to the inns in the outside world, a cloud room was still much higher in terms of grade.

In the room, Xia Qingchen formally introduced his friends to Zhao Churan. “These two are my good friends from the same school. Wu Yanfei and Chen Jun.”

Wu Yanfei was the silkpants young master, while Chen Jun was the person with the sharp gaze.

Their cultivation bases were similar, at the sixth radiance-level of the minor constellation stage.

“I greet the two young masters.” Zhao Churan nodded to express courtesy.

Wu Yanfei was in an extremely good mood. “During these days in Lone Cloud City, Miss Zhao should tour the city and have fun, all of Miss Zhao’s expenses will be covered by me. You can just quote my name to the merchants!”

Xia Qilin laughed as he introduced, “Cousin Churan, don’t be polite with him. His clan isn’t only a martial aristocratic clan, but they also control 20% of Lone Cloud City’s wine market. They are extremely wealthy!”

“As for Brother Chen Jun, hehe. He is even more impressive. His clan controls the water trade routes of Lone Cloud City. He just needs to say a single sentence to summon over a hundred cultivators to fight for him.”

Simply put, he was in a gang and specialized in bullying others, being a tyrant.

Whoever in Lone Cloud City offended him would instantly face all the ruffians in the city.

Chen Jun proudly inclined his head. “Qilin is my brother. Since Miss Zhao is his younger cousin, you are my cousin as well. In the future, if you run into any trouble in Lone Cloud City, you can look for me anytime.”

Zhao Churan’s beautiful eyes gleamed brightly as she smiled and thanked him.

She silently mused that Xia Qilin was truly different now when compared to the past. The people he was acquainted with were all of such high statuses.

In the future, it was difficult even if Xia Qilin didn’t want to have great achievements.

As for Xia Qingchen, at this moment, it was evident that his status was incompatible with this group of people.
