"Young Master, why don't we check out other inns? There are still two or three more, this one is too expensive!"
Zhou Ying tugged at Ji Ping's sleeve and said.
Ji Ping was about to speak when suddenly a voice rang out:
"If it's too expensive, then don't stay!"
Before the words finished, a young man walked up from behind, followed by two others.
This young man was dressed in a blue silk robe adorned with gold embroidery, exuding an air of magnificence!
"Shopkeeper, two deluxe rooms!"
He walked to the counter and haughtily called out to the shopkeeper.
"Unfortunately, dear guest, the last three rooms have just been booked by this gentleman."
The shopkeeper said apologetically:
"Perhaps you could check elsewhere, maybe other inns still have vacancies."
"What? You're asking to look elsewhere?"
Upon hearing this, the young man imdiately beca unhappy.
"I'm really sorry, but we indeed have no available rooms left."
The shopkeeper, sensing the young man's tone indicated so background, dared not offend him and carefully apologized.
He certainly couldn't suggest giving Ji Ping's booked rooms to the other party, as Ji Ping's attire might not be as flashy, but could still have so background!
Judging by his deanor, he certainly wasn't an ordinary person!
Moreover, in business, it's crucial to follow rules and maintain harmony for profitable outcos!
"I don't see them having paid yet, right?"
The young man in the lavish clothing glanced at Ji Ping and his companions:
"Since no paynt has been made, it doesn't count!"
"Well..."
The shopkeeper, hearing this, was suddenly put in a difficult position.
Although they hadn't paid, the rooms were already agreed upon!
As for the girl saying it's too expensive, it doesn't count because she clearly looked like a servant, calling soone Young Master earlier!
"Here's the deal, I'll pay double, twenty taels should do!"
The man huffed.
He saw that apart from Ji Ping, who was in the Condensation Pill Realm Perfection stage, the other two were just in the Primary Stage, not worth his attention!
Earlier, hearing the girl say a couple of hundred taels was too much, he figured they might have so background but likely not significant!
"Sorry, I have to ask this gentleman, as he reserved them first."
The shopkeeper apologetically said.
"How about this, I'll give you an extra hundred taels of silver, and you find another inn!"
The young man in extravagant attire said.
He wasn't entirely foolish; he knew that if rooms weren't available here, they might not be anywhere else!
This, alongside his dismissive attitude towards Ji Ping and company, was understandable given the circumstances!
Of course, this was greatly influenced by his sowhat arrogant nature!
Ji Ping, having been here a few tis, was aware of the tight situation with the rooms and certainly would not yield!
They didn't arrive too late this year, being no rooms was unexpected, whether due to people arriving early or the sheer increase in visitors!
Moreover, the other party's attitude was quite irritating!
If the other had discussed politely, he might have released a room, allowing him and Su Chen to share one.
As for releasing two rooms, that was impossible, especially with a girl like Zhou Ying present.
"Shopkeeper, reserve for five days, totaling one hundred and fifty taels."
Ji Ping took out three silver ingots and placed them on the counter.
Though they might not stay the entire five days, reserving more amidst the tight situation was better!
"Seems like you're set on opposing today, aren't you?"
The man saw Ji Ping placing the silver, and fury instantly arose!
"There's always a first-co, first-serve principle, right?"
Ji Ping glanced at the other man:
"Sorry, but I don't lack your hundred taels either!"
"Exactly, what do you think of our family's Young Master!"
Annoyed by the arrogance, Zhou Ying pursed her lips.
"Enough, don't stoop to this person's level. Let's go."
Su Chen, discontented with the man's deanor, casually remarked.
"Boy, what did you say?!"
The young man, already frustrated, was further enraged by Ji Ping and company!
Especially Su Chen's scornful words, which were intolerable!
"Boy, daring to speak to our Young Master like that, you must be itching for a beating!"
"It's more than just itching, I think you have a death wish!"
The two n behind the young man noticed, naturally shouted threats too!
Servants know masters, and masters know servants; this behavior is not surprising!
Besides, their Young Master was at the Condensation Pill Realm Great Perfection, superior in strength, with both n in mid-late stages, nothing to worry about!
At this mont, the young man directly punched towards Su Chen!
For people of the Ruin Realm, often fists do the talking!
His punch at Su Chen stirred a fierce, dominant surge of air!
The shopkeeper was so scared he ducked, fearing getting caught in the crossfire!
"Reckless!"
Seeing the punch aid at him, Su Chen's face showed a sneer, he countered with a punch too!
"Boom!"
The collision of fists created an explosive sound!
Simultaneously, a figure quickly flew backward, landing outside the main door!
The commotion surprised many guests, led them downstairs to see what was up!
When they recognized the person lying on the ground, they were shocked!
"Isn't that the Young Sect Master of Sunset Sect?"
"Yes, how's he lying on the ground, seemingly badly hurt!"
"Who dared to attack the Young Sect Master of Sunset Sect?"
Subsequently, a lively discussion ensued, with eyes inevitably drawn to Su Chen and his company, as they were the only ones present!
"Sunset Sect?!"
Ji Ping's surprise was evident, not recognizing the Young Sect Master!
Even if recognized, nothing changes, not backing down! Impossible!
Not that he knew Su Chen's strength; even without Su Chen, he'd stand firm!
"Is Sunset Sect very formidable?"
Su Chen turned to Ji Ping and asked.
"Quite impressive!"
Ji Ping's expression showed a slight heaviness:
"Sunset Sect is a major force in Spirit Vein of Cloud Mountain, considered above mid-level dominance!"
"Doesn't seem that big a deal!"
Su Chen dismissively smiled.
