Chapter 219: Choosing ten out of a thousand, picking one out of a hundred
Shi Xiaobai quickly realized that he had no idea which hotel room was his. Helplessly, he inquired at the front desk.
The receptionist had a deep impression of Shi Xiaobai. The brutal assault yesterday had astounded her. As such, she patiently answered Shi Xiaobai’s questions and even took the initiative to lead Shi Xiaobai to his level.
The members of Gaia were assigned rooms at the thirteenth floor. This was also the reason why Riko and company did not notice the commotion that happened in the lobby at the first floor.
Shi Xiaobai’s room was Room 5 on the thirteenth floor. However, he did not receive a key, so he could only knock on Room 6, which was Riko’s room.
Shi Xiaobai knocked twice and shouted once.
However, five doors opened simultaneously.
Yama Minamiya and Riko, Mozzie, Mu Yuesheng and Kevin came out from their respective rooms.
Yama Minamiya said angrily, “Shi Xiaobai, what did you do all night in Sunless’ room? If you do not honestly explain yourself, stay away from my daughter in the future.”
“Dad, what are you talking about?”
Riko rolled her eyes and said to Shi Xiaobai, “Xiaobai, explain yourself properly.”
Mozzie blinked her eyes and said, “Lord Shi Xiaobai, it must be Sunless who seduced you, right?”
Mu Yuesheng sighed and said, “I never expected you to be such an impressive hooligan.”
Kevin glanced at Mozzie and said to Shi Xiaobai shortly after, “Hmph, This Genius will not comment on this matter, but if you were to two-time, This Genius will definitely not sit idle!”
Shi Xiaobai was slightly dumbfounded. He said with a frown, “Why does This King not understand a thing of what all of you are saying?”
…
…
Five minutes later, after a series of interrogations, Shi Xiaobai finally understood the reason behind the misunderstanding.
Shi Xiaobai was somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or to cry regarding this misunderstanding. He also finally understood the reason of Heartless and company’s extreme reactions and bizarre questions.
Finally, he said to Riko and company a normal version that was closer to the truth.
The general gist was that he had accidentally damaged Sunless’ purplish-gold silver dragon sword, and gave her something similar to a sword manual as reparations. Finally, Sunless gave him a true sword manual, and he was engrossed reading the sword manual and sat in a corner of the hallway for five whole hours.
Although this explanation had concealed a lot of important information, it had easily resolved most of the misunderstandings. However, it was difficult to explain why he had spent the whole night in Sunless’ room. Shi Xiaobai could only describe the matter in general terms.
But unexpectedly, Yama Minamiya immediately understood what Shi Xiaobai was referring to. He said with a sigh, “This is an extremely rare spiritual connection phenomenon. It requires the correct combination of luck and people. You are pretty lucky to be able to engage in an entire night of sword sparring with Sunless. It will definitely improve your understanding in swords!”
Shi Xiaobai nodded upon hearing these words. He had indeed improved a lot. Taking driving skills as an analogy, he was a bad driver driving a Ferrari before last night, but after last night, he finally learned how to drift around the bends. However, he needed a period of time and opportunities before he could become a truly experienced driver!
With the misunderstandings finally resolved, everyone spontaneously heaved a sigh of relief. They immediately began speaking on hindsight.
Yama Minamiya: “I knew there must have been a misunderstanding somewhere.”
Riko: “Hmph, I knew a fool like you who has no sexual urges or intent would do that.”
Mozzie: “This Mozzie said so early on. Lord Shi Xiaobai refrains from lust. Lord Shi Xiaobai is an honest gentleman.”
Mu Yuesheng: “Looks like I overestimated your abilities.”
Kevin: “Thankfully This Genius always rejects this wave of lovey-dovey ideas.”
Shi Xiaobai: “…”
Shi Xiaobai ignored them and asked Yama Minamiya for his key. Entering his hotel room, he took out a change of clothes from his luggage and took a refreshing cold shower.
