"But, our Baihua Palace just wants to run a school, we have no need to follow them in chaos." The Baihua Jade Girl, Weisheng Qian Dai, said urgently, "And Shen Qiang has helped us before, Master, how can you be so ungrateful and kick him when he's down?"
The Baihua Palace Master sighed softly, "Silly girl, I know you like him, and I must admit Shen Qiang is very charming, but charm and good looks are not enough, unless Shen Qiang can survive the siege of the Hidden Sword Villa, Qingyun Sword Pavilion, Carefree Valley, and Kunlun Sword Sect."
"Otherwise, I absolutely cannot gamble with the lives of our thousands of disciples in Baihua Palace. After all, rather than risk angering those four sects to help Shen Qiang and Heshenghe, it would be better to sit back and reap the benefits."
"But Master!"
"There's no but." The Baihua Palace Master interrupted, "I cannot disregard the interests of all Baihua Palace disciples because of your feelings, so you may leave now."
The scolded Baihua Jade Girl, Weisheng Qian Dai, left the room in a huff with red eyes, then headed towards the west area of the entire floor, slamming the door shut with a bang.
This made Shen Qiang's eyes light up.
If Weisheng Qian Dai lives in the west area, then without a doubt, the Baihua Palace Master must also live there.
Shen Qiang was thinking in his heart.
The Baihua Palace Master tidied up her things, turned off the light, and walked out of her office.
Although she was wearing a standard pencil skirt and blazer, lacking the allure of a form-fitting long dress, she was still explosively charming.
Especially now, her pretty face was icy cold, her anger apparent.
The calm and capable deanor she possessed was certainly unmatched by ordinary won.
As she walked towards the west area, she glanced at the two female cultivators standing at the staircase and said, "You two, go inside to rest, stay alert at night. Now, the hotel is filled with malicious, human-clad demons and ghosts, so be extra careful."
"Yes, Palace Master, don't worry, with us here, not even a fly could sneak in."
Hearing their response, the Baihua Palace Master nodded, "Hmm, if I didn't trust your abilities, I wouldn't have sent you here, so go rest. It's not yet ti for everyone to be in a deep sleep, I believe no one dares to act rashly, so I'm going to rest now."
"Alright, goodnight, Palace Master."
Under the respectful farewell of the two won, the stunningly beautiful Baihua Palace Master walked towards the west area. Standing before Weisheng Qian Dai's door, she seed to want to say sothing, but hesitated to knock.
She sighed, then stepped to a room further east and opened the door.
Following closely behind her, Shen Qiang wanted to slip in with her.
To his surprise, the Baihua Palace Master, upon entering the room, did not turn like an ordinary person to allow passage and then close the door, but shut it directly without looking back.
Bang!
The tightly shut door left Shen Qiang in the hallway outside.
The wind from the swinging door ruffled Shen Qiang's clothing, causing the two female cultivators, who had intended to rest, to exclaim in surprise and gaze curiously in his direction.
"What a strange feeling, as if soone was there!" one of the won frowned.
The other, full of doubt, looked around and said, "We're just too tense, aren't we? There's nothing there, and no anomalies detected by Divine Sense. Let's go rest."
With that, the two female cultivators entered the room facing the staircase.
As their figures disappeared, Shen Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Nonetheless, he frowned, as now it was already a significant win to confirm the Baihua Palace Master's room, and since it was a forr guest room, there was a peephole on the door.
Thus, a small lens for extracting iris information could easily be installed.
The usual plan would be to enter the Baihua Palace Master's room, attach the lens to the inside peephole, then create a disturbance outside the door. When the Baihua Palace Master peered out, her iris data would be gathered.
However, the challenge lay in the inability to enter since she was inside, because using True Yuan to climb through the window would alert not only the Baihua Palace Master but also hundreds of cultivators in the hotel.
If getting inside now wasn't possible, the best options were twofold.
The first was to lure her out by causing trouble with Heshenghe, igniting a fight or incident, prompting the Baihua Palace Master to leave her room, giving Shen Qiang the chance to enter and set up the iris collector.
But that would certainly startle them, and once a woman like the Baihua Palace Master grows suspicious, even if iris information is obtained and the key to unlock the access is found, the subsequent actions would encounter significant hurdles.
Thus, the most cautious approach was to wait here until morning, then enter to install the device as she left for work.
But her return ti was uncertain. As a cultivator, if she had other engagents, she might not return to sleep at all, making the whole plan full of variables.
It could easily end in complete failure.
So the best scenario would be finding a way to acquire her fingerprint and iris data now.
Shen Qiang pondered with furrowed brows.
At this point, the Baihua Palace Master's assistant, a woman in her mid-thirties, ascended the stairs, whispering into her phone with fiery eyes as she noticed the empty hallway, "Stop ssing around, behave yourself. The Palace Master knows we're living together, and I often bring you to this hotel, but you can't stay here with these days."
"Because the Palace Master lives right across from , and my room is an employee room with a peephole through which she can see inside. Every ti you scream like a slaughtered pig, the Palace Master would definitely hear, so please, cut so slack and don't embarrass in front of her."
Hearing the assistant's words, Shen Qiang's eyes instantly lit up.
A golden opportunity!
Imdiately, Shen Qiang not only turned to follow closely behind her as she opened the door but, with sharp eyes, flipped his wrist and took out a stiff business card from the Storage Ring.
Bam!
Just as expected.
Like the Baihua Palace Master, this woman shut the door without turning around, not leaving Shen Qiang the chance to follow her in.
But Shen Qiang, having been through this once already, had learned his lesson. The stiff business card was wedged in the door lock, so though it appeared locked, it was actually ajar.
