194 Uninvited Guests (1/2)

When they made it to the hotel, Manager Hu was impatiently waiting for them.

After hearing the news from the Cerulean Starlight Sect, he had been so frightened that he could hardly focus on his usual tasks.

So he placed one of his usual servants behind the counter and waited outside for news.

He was not alone. Lin Yuelong had been given the task of waiting for Ye Xiao to appear as well as retrieving the item that they had been promised.

When they saw Xue Wei and his friends come back while chatting and having fun, the two that were waiting could almost not believe their own eyes.

They had been sent to prison, but they acted like they had just been on a picnic.

Was it really true that the Golden Chambers had their back? Could they really do anything they wanted in the Golden Crow City?

When Lin Yuelong saw Wang Xiaoyun's face, his head went blank for a moment. He was completely stunned at what he saw. However, he connected the dots after some thinking and his eyes widened in shock.

He had seen her face before and knew that only a Rebirth Pill could heal her.

They had acted completely indifferently when they heard that the Rebirth Pill was no longer up for sale, which could only mean that they had already gotten their hands on it.

The only way to get their hands on it was if they gave something of overwhelming value, and from what he could gather of the current discussions, only the formations could move the Golden Chambers.

Suddenly, Lin Yuelong felt his breath grow hurried. Were they going to be gifted something amazing?

”Manager Hu, Lin Yuelong, it is a pleasure seeing you both here,” Xue Wei said with a smile.

”Were you worried about us? Thanks to your efforts, nothing bad happened.” He laughed.

”We are starving, so please excuse us as we go have a meal. Lin Yuelong, perhaps you can bring your head disciple to our dining room? I would like to give him what I promised him,” Xue Wei kept smiling as he spoke.

Originally, Lin Yuelong should have accepted the item, but now he was unsure of what to do. If he had guessed correctly, then it was a formation.

After contacting their sect and informing them about the formation situation in the auction, they had been tasked with bringing at least one formation back with them.

This was no longer a simple repayment so Lin Yuelong decided to go and discuss with his head disciple.

He bowed to Manager Hu and Xue Wei before he rushed up the stairs to their rooms.

Manager Hu personally led Xue Wei and his friends into the restaurant.

It was an upscale restaurant with an open ground floor and an upper floor with private rooms.

These private rooms were expensive, so they received many envious looks as they walked up the stairs to the upper floor.

Because Manager Hu was personally leading them, many stared at them with curiosity. They could not help but wonder about the background of this group.

There were various factions in the Golden Crow City, but the Golden Chambers was still the strongest.

They were the hegemon of the entire region, and Manager Hu was amongst the top experts within this faction.

Even the members of the three great sects could not enjoy such treatment.

But neither Xue Wei, Hei Gou, Wang Xiaoyun, or Bai Tianyi seemed to care about it. They chatted with Manager Hu in a friendly manner that made them seem close.

As they reached the second floor, they were met with a hallway with many doors on either side that led to smaller and larger rooms.

The largest room had been reserved for Xue Wei.

After entering through the door, a bit of time passed by, before a row of scantily clad waitresses came walking in. They started rearranging floor cushions, placed wines on the table, and brought with them the most delicious-smelling delicacies.

Although they had not ordered anything, Manager Hu had previously gestured to the servants to bring word to the kitchen of their arrival so that they could preemptively prepare the delicacies

Their tables were decked out with small cups and many bottles of fine wines on the table.

Xue Wei looked appreciatively at the women who carried the trays of food, but then he felt a sharp pain at his waist and a tenderly smiling woman by his side.

”Like what you see?” she asked gently. Xue Wei was about to say yes when he realized how dangerous that would be. It would be quite unbecoming to be beaten by Wang Xiaoyun because of her jealousy.

”Not at all,” he hurriedly said and could not help but smile when he saw Wang Xiaoyun beam like a little sun. ”Then let us not look,” she said and focused on the plates on the table.

She took Xue Wei's plate and began scooping up a little bit of everything for him.

”Try this,” she said as she handed the plate to Xue Wei. Not only Xue Wei, also Hei Gou and Bai Tianyi felt warm at heart seeing the casual but also tender, and slightly awkward, actions of Wang Xiaoyun.

Her love for Xue Wei was real. Similarly, Xue Wei dearly loved every little action she made; even her flaws were adorable to him, her jealousy made him want to chuckle, and her behavior was simply so refreshing.

The waitresses left the room when the group started eating their meal, and manager Hu followed them out. For a bit of time, silence enveloped the room while they enjoyed the food.

After a bit of time a few words were spoken here and there. They mostly praised the food and did not discuss anything too important.

After roughly ten minutes, a knock on the door could be heard.

”It's the Cerulean Starlight Sect,” a voice said from the outside.
