Chapter 31: The Change In Mo Wuji

”You're looking for death...” Cao Hao grabbed the sword hung on his waist.
”Little Prince, please do not be too rash or you may land all of us in trouble,” Yang Junsong quickly stepped forward to stop Cao Hao.
Among these four group mates from Cheng Yu State, Yang Junsong was the most sociable one. He was always smiling, and he did not put on airs even towards a house attendant like Mo Wuji.
Feng Cheng Marquisate’s heir, Ji Changhe also stepped forward and advised Cao Hao.
This was a place where geniuses across Xing Han Empire gathered in their journey to Chang Luo. Causing a ruckus here would get one punished. A light punishment would be the stripping of participation rights and being sent back home. On the other hand, a punishment could even be as heavy as a direct execution! It didn't matter whether one was a prefecture prince, one could still be executed. A genius from Cheng Yu State was nothing in this large Xing Han Empire.
Cao Hao snorted and stared fiercely at Mo Wuji. Then, he turned and walked towards the inn. From the looks of things, Cao Hao probably would not act against Mo Wuji.
”Mo Wuji, just because you helped the little miss doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. If you act like this again, we'll immediately send you back to Cheng Yu State,” Shao Lan said while giving Mo Wuji an unsatisfied glare.
Han Ning's face was also unsightly. Even though she did not say anything, it was clear that she agreed with Shao Lan's words.
Mo Wuji smiled and did not care. When he gave Han Ning the Two-leaved Fire Grass, she was extremely grateful to him. However, as time passed, her gratitude tapered down. This was the reason why Mo Wuji was unwilling to be friends with people from big families. They were used to being in a high position overlooking the rest of the world. As a result, they acted arrogantly and did not treat others as their equal.
They would only greet you with a smile if you gave them benefits. Once the benefits were gone, that smile would disappear as well. They would definitely not remember what you had done for them.
This trip to the royal capital was Han Ning's reward to Mo Wuji for his meritorious service. If he committed a mistake, she would simply take away this reward and even punish him. This was not a relationship between friends, but a superior-inferior relationship.
Mo Wuji came from Earth so he would not accept being the inferior within a relationship. Sooner or later, he would separate from Han Ning. Before that happened, he would dedicate his efforts for her. Han Chengan's saving grace might have been unintentional and he might not have expected any returns, but Mo Wuji would definitely return the favour.
”Why don't we all settle down. We still have to stay here for the next three days,” Han Ning said as she followed Cao Hao and co. into one of the inns.
”Wait...” After Han Ning and Shao Lan entered the inn, Mo Wuji and the other two were stopped.
”He [1], what is the meaning of this?” Peng Maohua's face turned ugly when he was stopped.
Mo Wuji recognised the man blocking their way. He was He Feng, one of Cao Hao's attendants.
Han Ning did not stay silent and questioned Cao Hao, ”Cao Hao, what's the meaning of this?”
Before Cao Hao could speak, an attendant from the inn came out and said apologetically, ”Dear customers, we are really sorry but our Yue Hai Inn does not have enough rooms. Your group of five only gets one room so these three attendants would have to stay outside or in our warehouse.”
Han Ning's gaze landed on Yang Junsong, ”Yan Junsong, you're in charge of booking the rooms. Why is it that my house attendants do not get a room while the others do?”
Cao Hao said loudly, ”Ah, there is no other way. We arranged the rooms on a first-come, first-serve basis. You can't expect my attendants to sleep outside even though they came first right?”
Yang Junsong's face looked rather awkward as he embarrassedly asked Cao Hao, ”Prince, we are all part of the same team. Why don't you allow them to squeeze with your attendants?”
Cao Hao thought for a long time before saying reluctantly, ”How about this... I will get my guys to squeeze. But there's only enough space for two people. That, that who... Aren't you very strong and brave? You can stay outside then.”
