627 Snowing Hotel (1/2)
The incomparable influence of the great idol Chu Qi Hun had brought all sorts of places, such as restaurants and hotels, into prosperity…
Evidently, the power of idols was indeed infinite…
Past or present, on Earth or the Xuan Xuan continent, this was all indisputable truth!
Jun Mo Xie was just sitting there and he had already heard three different versions of the story before he could finish his meal. And each version was enough to trigger his unstoppable laughter!
It was close to the new year and it was snowing heavily. But nothing could stop people from crowding into this secluded little hotel… With the heavy snow blocking the path out of the mountains, there could only be more guests coming in and sitting around the bonfire…
What was most strange was that the two owners of this hotel were still looking unsatisfied and even annoyed despite having such prosperous business and so much income… They were not even interested in receiving money. This dubious phenomenon soon caught Jun Mo Xie's attention.
Mei Xue Yan's skill was superb, but she had little social experience, and was thus not very interested in the social interactions of these commoners. Dongfang Wen Xin was also born into a large family and seldom had encounters in the society, so she was even more nonchalant about it. On the other hand, as a supreme killer who had lived two lives, Jun Mo Xie had lots of exposure to this sort of social interaction. He paid attention to even the most detailed things, and the more he did, the more he felt that there was something wrong with this hotel…
But with the heavy snow, the hotel was undeniably a good place to stay at. They could even get some dubious, but free intelligence by talking with the guests. So, Jun Mo Xie decided to stay here for the night and would make further decisions based on the weather next day.
After all, Dongfang Wen Xin's cultivation was not of a high level. Even with the assistance of Mei Xue Yan and Jun Mo Xie, it would still be difficult to travel in such terrible weather conditions. By staying here for one day, they could not only have some rest, but could also gather some information. Even if there was not much important information, the interesting stories were at least quite entertaining…
As Jun Mo Xie pondered, Mei Xue Yan delivered a message right into his ear. ”The two owners of this hotel are experts.”
”Yes, indeed they are. Also, this hotel is also a bit strange.” Jun Mo Xie held his tea cup, and replied without even moving his eyelids.
”Strange? Where?” Mei Xue Yan was a bit surprised. Looking around, this was an ordinary hotel. Except for the expertise of the two owners, nothing was out of place. Even the waiters and the servicemen were as common as they could be. Also, many experts do like to hide in secluded places without interacting with the outside world. So the fact about the two owners could hardly be called strange.
”First of all, this hotel's location is weird. We traveled for around hundred miles to reach here from the previous town. Although it is short for us, but for commoners, this could take a whole day. The town before us is quite large; if this hotel opened there, they would definitely have a better profit,” Jun Mo Xie analyzed.
”Right, this place is indeed quite secluded,” Mei Xue Yan agreed as she nodded her head, ”There is a mountain range further away. There's obviously even less people there. But if we say that the two owners just want to leave behind all the troubles of the outside world, then this choice is understandable…”
”I've thought of that as well, but generally, it is an illogical choice. Secondly, what are their intentions in opening up a hotel in such a place? Or rather, what benefits do they even have? If they want to escape from all the annoyance, why not choose to stay in the mountains?” Jun Mo Xie threw out a few questions.
”Also, why are there so many martial arts practitioners gathered here? When we were here last time, there were no guests at all. From the expression of the two old men, it clearly suggests that this phenomenon only started a few days ago. They look so annoyed; if this happens all year round, I am sure they would have long left. But, apparently they could not become infuriated at the annoyance. The only reason would be that they are afraid of being exposed. But as top experts, what are they afraid of?” Jun Mo Xie carried on.
”Besides that, with so many men from the three Holy Lands appearing near here, I can deduce that Chu Qi Hun is near here. Or why will everyone be gathering here in such a bad weather? All these people must have been guided here by information deliberately leaked by the three Holy Lands.” Everything seemed to make sense as Jun Mo Xie continued with a frown.
”The three Holy Lands want to consolidate their authority! For ten thousand years, no one dared to defy and humiliate the three Holy Lands. Chu Qi Hun did not only do that, but also killed many of their men. So the three Holy Lands were trying to ameliorate the situation. And the best way is to kill Chu Qi Hun publicly. That's why they deliberately publicized what Chu Qi Hun had done. They want to kill him in front of a large crowd so that they will gain a more indisputable authority and reputation! This is the true intentions of the three Holy Lands!” Jun Mo Xie said, with a short laugh.
