550 The Three Sections of the Building (1/2)

Xu Que followed the old man's movements with his eyes as the old man was walking away from him.

Sh*t! This old guy is also quite good at acting tough!

The old man must have sensed Xu Que's emotions or something because the old man turned back around and stared at him from across the corridor. Xu Que gave the old man a polite smile and nod.

This old guy was at level six or seven of the Void Training Stage, meaning he was extremely powerful. If Xu Que ever offended this old guy, he would have to run away again before he could meet with the Water Empress, which wouldn't be any fun.

The old man was staring at him as if examining him for faults. Xu Que's escort sensed the uneasiness between the two men. She didn't dare lead Xu Que to the front counter just yet.

Did I just offend him? Xu Que thought, confused. But, I didn't do anything! Is he trying to get me in trouble?

”So… what was your name again? Oh yes, Elder Yun. Ahem. Why are you staring at me?” Xu Que asked, stating his last question in a mock Northeastern Chinese accent.

The girl beside him became concerned with Xu Que's rudeness.

”My lord, please watch your tongue!” she pleaded.

However, the old man remained emotionless. After a short stretch of silence, the old man shook his head and spoke to Xu Que in a low, purposeful voice.

”My young friend, your murderous mien is much too intense!” the old man warned. He then turned around and left, ignoring Xu Que's disrespectful behavior.

Xu Que was stunned.

Murderous mien? Too intense?

The Water Empress used to give him the same advice. She said that his intense murderous mien might negatively influence his cultivation, so she asked him to stop killing people at will.

At the time, Xu Que didn't take her words seriously. After all, it was only by killing people that he was able to reach such a high cultivation level. Plus, cultivating through killing people was much faster than cultivating through absorbing Spiritual Qi. However, now this old man was giving him the same advice…

What is the meaning of this advice?

”My lord, please follow me!” the girl beside him said. However, her facial expression seemed strange, like she was forcing a smile.

If the Elder Yun said this man's murderous mien was too much, then this man must be a cold-blooded killer, which terrified her. She hadn't expected such a gentle and handsome young man to be a murderer!

”Young lady, please ignore that old man's nonsense. As a scholar, how could I possibly have such an intense murderous mien? I think what he meant to say was that I am too handsome!” Xu Que explained with a smile.

”My Lord, please show respect to Elder Yun!” the shocked girl reminded with a hollow smile. ”He is the Lord of the Earth Section of the Bright Moon Hotel! Also, he is an elder of the Illusionary Flower and Moon Sect!”

”Say, do you think I would be even more handsome if I changed my hair? Should I try making my bangs curly? Or wavy perhaps?” Xu Que asked, ignoring the girl's words.

The girl was stunned.

Change your hairstyle? Curly or wavy? What's the meaning of this!? I can't stand this much longer!

”Eh, my lord, please follow me! I will take you to the front counter so you can receive your ID. It will just cost you five best-grade spirit stones,” she explained.

”D*mn! You're saying I need to spend five best-grade spirit stones just to get an ID? That is way too expensive! Is your hotel illegal, because this is a ripoff! Do you even have a Business License?” Xu Que asked, his eyes wide.

The girl couldn't believe this guy. Five best-grade spirit stones was mere pocket change to cultivators at the Infant Transformation stage. This was the first time that anyone had ever complained about the price of a simple ID card, not to mention the first time anyone had asked if this hotel was illegal…

What the h*ll? How could this guy be an elite?

”OK, OK,” Xu Que acquiesced. ”I can see you're upset. You're right, it's only five best-grade spirit stones. I can afford it! Here, take this and keep the change as a tip!” Xu Que said, waving his hand as if he was suddenly a generous millionaire.
