296 The Story of the Battle-axe Hotel (2/2)

”Dean Li, you may say that, but I'm not the one making the decisions on this matter. Could you please wait for a few more days? I've reported this already. Although the owner changed, I believe this matter will be approved in a couple of days.”

Listening to their conversation, Wang Baole's curiosity was piqued even more. He couldn't understand why the vice dean of Fire Spirit Academy would come here to talk to a True Breath realm cultivator about the problem of a battle-axe's direction.

It would have been fine if this wasn't his hotel, but it was. Hence, Wang Baole was even more curious. He opened up the Spirit Intranet and typed in keywords like battle-axe and Fire Spirit Academy to do a search. This search made Wang Baole open his eyes wide, and he was very surprised.

This Battle-axe Hotel has a backstory!

The Battle-axe Hotel was built directly in front of the Fire Spirit Academy. Looking at its geographical location, it was in a very good area. It was close to a school and not too far away from the downtown district; its business was also pretty good. However, this hotel was pretty odd…

Its oddness came from how it seemed to counter the Fire Spirit Academy… Accurately speaking, the Battle-axe Hotel did counter the Fire Spirit Academy. The main point of this seemed to be related to the huge battle-axe in front of the entrance of the hotel.

When the Fire Spirit Academy was just built, everything was normal. This was until the Battle-axe Hotel opposite opened for business. That huge malicious battle-axe faced the Fire Spirit Academy directly. Hence, not even a year had passed before the vice dean of Fire Spirit Academy at that time died unnaturally…

Following that came the Fire Spirit Academy's second vice dean. Not only was he at an extraordinary cultivation level, but he was also good at divination, and he divined that the malicious aura coming from the battle-axe was too heavy. However, the hotel was the property of the higher-ups of the Trilunaris Corporation so he couldn't use force. So he negotiated with the Battle-axe Hotel and compromised a little to make the blade of the battle-axe change its direction to not face the Fire Spirit Academy directly.

It might have actually worked. In less than a year, that second vice dean got promoted and recalled back to Earth. Now, he was the Vice Minister in a huge ministry.

As he got promoted, the third vice dean came in. This third vice dean didn't believe in superstition and took no notice of the hotel. Hence, the hotel turned the blade of the battle-axe back to face the Fire Spirit Academy directly.

As a result, the corruption scandals of this third vice dean were found out by the Colony Disciplinary Order, and he was immediately detained. He was still locked up in the Mars Prison today…

The occurrence of these three events made the Battle-axe Hotel popular. From then on, the first thing new vice deans of Fire Spirit Academy did when they reported for work was to communicate with the hotel and get them to change the direction of the battle-axe blade.

This was way too weird, and people would rather believe it. There were those who didn't, but not one escaped unscathed. Most of them were caught like the previous vice dean… This was why Li Wuchen, the new vice dean of Fire Spirit Academy, came here to negotiate with the hotel.

So I can do that… Wang Baole was very happy after reading the information. His eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips when he looked at the gloomy Li Wuchen.

At that moment, Li Wuchen also seemed to run out of patience. He stood up and shot the middle-aged man a cold look. He spoke in a low voice.

”Daoist Xu, I don't care about the change in owners. I want an answer by today!”

”Dean Li, I'll be honest with you, there was originally no problem with this, but I received a message a few days ago telling me that the hotel had changed hands. That's why I couldn't settle this matter on time.” The middle-aged man also quickly stood up and replied with a forced smile.

”Please don't make things hard on me, Dean Li. How about this… I'll ask about it now. Although I've never seen the new owner, the old owner gave me his contact details, I'll ask now. Don't worry Dean Li, this isn't a huge issue, there shouldn't be any problems.”

Hearing his reply, Li Wuchen finally relaxed a little and nodded. To him, nothing would go wrong with this issue. After all, he had the Ethereal Dao College backing him. The Grand Supreme Elder and others wouldn't make things hard for him over this small matter.

So he didn't take notice of the middle-aged man who took out his voice transmission ring to contact the new hotel owner. Li Wuchen slanted his eyes to look at Wang Baole, who was fiddling with his voice transmission ring. As he noticed Wang Baole's slightly smug expression, he harrumphed in disdain.

Country bumpkin! One day I will make you cough up the Spirit Blood you swallowed with interest!

As he thought that deep within his heart… the voice transmission ring of Wang Baole… rang…
