190 Rebirth Pill (2/2)
Wang Xiaoyun was aware that if she answered honestly that Xue Wei was seventeen years old, they would start questioning him about why he was not in the army. Although he looked very young, no one could say anything without knowing his real age.
The woman's eyes turned icy when she heard that answer, displeased with what she heard. Xue Wei smiled wryly.
”Ladies from the Argent Moon Sect, these sirs and madam are significant guests of our Golden Chambers,” Manager Hu suddenly stepped forward. ”I understand if you wish to reunite with long-lost friends. However, it is our Three Legged Golden Crow Hotel's turn to entertain these sirs and madam.”
Seeing that Manager Hu stepped forward to smooth over the situation for Xue Wei's sake, the woman from the Argent Moon Sect frowned.
Although she was from the Argent Moon Sect, she did not dare to go against the Golden Chambers. The Golden Chambers was a colossus in the entire continent; some say its influence has spread to other continents too.
Going against the Golden Chambers was something that even the three great sects did not dare to do. The Golden Chambers could rouse almost any extreme expert with promises of wealth and treasures that the world had never seen before. Even the great sects with their many experts would not be able to sustain themselves.
Since the Argent Moon Sect's disciples had been advised to act amiably towards anyone related to the Golden Chambers, the woman was puzzled as to why Manager Hu would step out and try to straighten the mood.
Manager Hu was on the list of people that the Argent Moon Sect considered important in Golden Crow City. To insult him was absolutely not allowed.
”Oh, Ye Xiao,” another person suddenly called out. When Xue Wei turned around, he found that Lin Yuelong from the Cerulean Starlight Sect was standing together with another group.
This group of experts consisted of Heavenly Warriors with a few Ordinary Knights amongst them. Their strength seemed to be even with the ones from the Argent Moon Sect.
”Are you little brother Ye Xiao?” The leader of the Cerulean Starlight Sect was much friendlier than the lady from the Argent Moon Sect.
”I did use that name back in the Black Iron Fortress,” Xue Wei acknowledged. The man was stumped but then laughed. ”Let us keep using this name then, ” he grinned. ”I doubt that I will ever be told your real name.”
”One day, you will naturally know it,” Xue Wei said casually. ”One day, the entire world will know my name.”
This sounded arrogant, but there was a pride within Xue Wei that told him that this would be possible if he had enough time to grow.
The crowd was stunned, but many interpreted his words differently.
The lady from the Argent Moon Sect snorted and looked at him with disdain, while Xiong Bing had a complicated look in her eyes, which were the only visible parts of her beneath the veil.
The man from the Cerulean Starlight Sect frowned, but then he nodded his head. ”I feel a conviction in your voice,” he said seriously, ”so I will look forward to the day that your name resounds through the entire world!”
Xue Wei smiled. He had a favorable impression of the men from the Cerulean Starlight Sect. They had always been friendly and open-minded. They had also done their best to assist him when he needed it, and even now a more outstanding genius from the sect was treating him as an equal.
While Xue Wei was in deep thought, a voice suddenly boomed in the lobby, ”Experts of the great sects, this is news you would want to know!”
A small midget rushed into the lobby of the hotel. He was frantic, and his eyes were shining strangely.
”My lords and ladies, this news is the greatest news I could get, and I am sure you would thank me when I am done telling it!” he said breathlessly. The experts from the two great sects frowned.
”The Rebirth Pill has been pulled out from the auction!” he started. Anger flashed in the eyes of both leaders of the two factions.
”Wait, wait, wait!” the man continued, waving his arms in front of himself protectively. ”It is not a big deal; they replaced it with something even more outstanding. Formations will be put up for sale instead!”
”What?!” both of the leaders exclaimed at the same time. All eyes in the entire hotel lobby were on the midget.
”This story is proven to be correct! We don't know how many there are, but the man from the Golden Chambers said that there would be more than one formation and more than one kind!”
”The formations that are nearly extinct outside the center of the continent have appeared! They will be worth much more than a mere Rebirth Pill, so contact your sects right away and find a way to get more essence stones, because these formations will not go cheap!”
While everyone was shocked, Xue Wei and his friends stood there casually and listened in on the conversation. Manager Hu was not slow and looked over. When he saw their unimpressed expressions and remembered the message that the servant from earlier had given him, he quickly connected the dots.
Although he had already sworn to provide his best service, he understood the significance of formations to the Golden Chambers, and thus he decided to do anything to help these experts have as enjoyable a stay as they possibly could.
