190 Rebirth Pill (1/2)
Xue Wei did not need to think about the offer he had been given. ”I accept,” he said right away.
The stoic-looking man's face suddenly cracked into a hideous smile, and soon after he nodded his head.
He reached out and siphoned half the constructs on the table into his personal storage treasure. Afterwards, he handed over the snow jade box.
”This is the Rebirth Pill. It is of high purity, but it is only suitable for the Heavenly Warrior rank, so it is the weakest version of the Rebirth Pill. Still, it will be enough to recreate the body of the young madam here.”
Xue Wei nodded his head. It was easy to see why they would want the Rebirth Pill. It was a pill that could completely remold the body of the consumer. It would turn the skin into that of a newborn's, and the meridians and every fiber in their body would reach their best possible condition.
”Young sir, I would suggest that you stay in our private hotel,” the appraiser said with a deep bow. ”We have the Three Legged Golden Crow Hotel located here in the Golden Chamber district. It is the place where most people from influential factions reside, and you have now become the most important person for the auction.”
Xue Wei nodded his head. ”We will gladly stay at the Three Legged Golden Crow Hotel,” he answered.
After that, they finished the paperwork, and the four friends were led by another servant to the Three Legged Golden Crow's hotel.
Hotels were much more luxurious than inns. They were often owned by influential factions, and usually Xue Wei and his companions would avoid them, but this time it was probably a good idea to accept the hospitality.
”Manager Hu,” the servant bowed to the man behind the counter of the hotel. ”This is a group of VIPs to the Golden Chambers,” the servant introduced. ”They have to be served with the highest care and consideration that this hotel can manage, and everything is on the house.”
Manager Hu's eyes turned round. He had been the manager for the Three Legged Golden Crow Hotel for a long time, but he had never heard of anyone being treated so highly in their establishment.
”It is an order from the director,” the servant said, worried that Manager Hu did not believe him, but Manager Hu was not a slow man. He knew that no servant would ever dare to be so presumptuous as to lie about such a matter.
”Well, my honored guests!” Manager Hu clasped his hands together and looked at Xue Wei and the rest. ”The top floor is free; it has seven bedrooms, two living rooms, three bathrooms, and a training room.”
”This floor is usually reserved for royalty, but we would be honored to let your entourage stay there,” Manager Hu said while looking at them with reverence.
”Ye Xiao!” Suddenly a voice sounded out from the audience, calling for someone called Ye Xiao. Vaguely recognizing the voice, Xue Wei looked over and saw that it was Xiong Bing, the, at that time, leader of the Argent Moon forces in the Black Iron Fortress.
She was looking straight at him. Xue Wei was somewhat perplexed before he remembered that he had used an alias during the tournament. In fact, he had used quite a few random names back in the Black Iron Fortress, not caring for the fact that people would know that they were fake.
”Ye Xiao is not your real name either?” she asked, annoyed when she saw Xue Wei's completely puzzled expression. ”I went to the ones who signed you up, and they said that you went by the name Ye Xiao.”
”Well, Lady Xiong, it is not beneficial for me to give my real name,” Xue Wei said with a sigh. He had not even given his name to the members of the Golden Chambers, but he had been given a talisman that would display his position and status.
Xue Wei was still wearing the mask he had worn in the Black Iron Fortress, and thus he was recognized as Ye Xiao.
When Xiong Bing exclaimed his name, the rest of her group also looked at him with curiosity, and many of them looked at Wang Xiaoyun with pity.
Wang Xiaoyun looked at Xue Wei and smiled grimly. ”My dear, are you acquainted with the ladies from the Argent Moon Sect?” she asked with a sweetened voice that made Xue Wei shiver with fear.
”No, no, not at all!” he exclaimed and raised his arms in self-defense, gesturing for Wang Xiaoyun to understand him.
Seeing his behavior, Xiong Bing was stunned. She had seen Xue Wei as a devil. Someone without a shred of humanity or compassion within them.
”So he is Ye Xiao?” a melodious voice sounded, and a woman stepped forward. ”I hear that you defeated every single person in the tournament, even the members of the three great sects.”
”Although you were able to defeat them, I would like you to know that the experts you met were not the limits of what our three great sects can produce.” The woman was extraordinarily arrogant, but Xue Wei completely ignored it.
Wang Xiaoyun, on the other hand, was incapable of completely ignoring her.
”Who are you to decide how strong he is?” Wang Xiaoyun sneered. ”He has worked very hard, harder than anyone else to be where he is today, and you just come here claiming his accomplishments are nothing? Well, let me ask you, how old are you? Were you as strong as him at his age? Are you truly that wonderful?”
Xue Wei felt warm at heart when he saw Wang Xiaoyun stand up for him, but he did not want her to get into trouble because of him.
The woman fell silent. ”How old is he?” she asked. She did not get insulted, but she was curious. Wang Xiaoyun gave her a sideways glance. ”I won't answer that,” she said.
