Although Niel spoke in a pompous manner, this could not offset Shu Yonglan and her companions' wariness towards him.
On the contrary, his deliberate attempt to eliminate barriers only made Shu Yonglan more vigilant.
Shu Yonglan blinked and said, "Why don't we let Yu Ritian join us?"
The surrounding people already knew that Xu Hao was called Yu Ritian, so they weren't too surprised when Shu Yonglan called out Xu Hao's na, though they still felt it was sowhat absurd.
Niel glanced at Xu Hao, frowned slightly, and said, "We don't have any extra rooms at ho, only one room available for you two ladies."
Shu Yonglan said flatly, "If there's only one room, then we won't stay, leave it for soone in need."
The suspicion in her heart never disappeared. Offering unsolicited kindness often implies ulterior motives; she would never believe that Niel had no other intentions towards her and Xiao Ling.
Even though she's not very familiar with life outside, she's not foolish, and is well-acquainted with such matters—after all, even if you haven't had pork, you've at least seen a pig run.
Xiao Ling glanced at her master and then said to Niel, "Though I feel Brother Yu is not a good person, he's definitely better than you."
The people nearby, mostly Australians, were visibly displeased upon hearing Xiao Ling's words.
After all, Niel is Australian, and Xiao Ling's comnt made them feel she was discriminating against Australians.
Niel glanced at Xu Hao, a trace of malice flashed in his eyes, but he still smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps it's because I'm Australian, so there's naturally so distrust. This is very normal. But I am genuinely inviting you two to stay at my house now. However, since you're not comfortable with , to show my sincerity, I'm willing to vacate my room and let Mr. Yu Ritian stay in it. How about that?"
At this ti, Shu Yonglan suddenly transmitted her voice to Xu Hao: "Young Master Yu, when traveling abroad, I feel more at ease with our own fellow Huaya people. Why not stay together? After all, at our level of cultivation, we don't really need sleep, just ditation and cultivating."
Xu Hao transmitted back, "We've never t before, and you trust like this?"
Shu Yonglan smiled slightly and said, "At Cihang Jingzhai, we have a secret technique that can judge a person's character, though only roughly. But it can discern that Young Master Yu is upright, while this Niel has lust in his eyes. I'm not afraid of whatever tricks he might pull, so I've decided to rest temporarily for one night."
"Cihang Jingzhai is an old sect. Since you are so confident I'm not a bad person, I'll go with you," Xu Hao nodded slightly.
He had no intention to rest here otherwise, or he would've arranged to book a hotel earlier.
Having said that to Shu Yonglan, Xu Hao then said to Niel, "Since you're inviting so warmly, I'll oblige. But I don't need to stay in your room, I'll ditate on the rooftop."
To a martial artist, any harsh environnt can be a place to cultivate; a re rooftop is of no concern.
Niel hurriedly said, "That won't do. You're a guest, how could I let you be exposed to the elents? Please stay in my room; I can squeeze in with my brother. You only need to pay the usual accommodation price."
When Niel said this, the Australians around exclaid, "See how nice we Australians are, how hospitable we are to guests."
"Niel, you're being too nice to them. If it were up to , I'd charge them according to five-star hotel standards. After all, there are almost no vacancies now, and if they want to stay, they should pay a high accommodation fee."
Niel smiled at everyone and said, "Ladies and gentlen, I just want to make more friends. We Australians have always been very friendly to outsiders."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Xu Hao's eyes flickered with a light that was hard to detect. He vaguely felt that this matter was not so simple.
However, on the eve of a great battle, he had nothing much to do, so he might as well sit back and watch. So he said, "Since Mr. Niel puts it that way, let's do it like this."
Xu Hao and his group, along with Niel, went to his ho to stay.
Australia is vast and sparsely populated. Although Adelaide is a city, many residents live in self-built hos similar to farmhouses.
Niel's ho is no exception.
After settling down, Xu Hao ditated to cultivate, striving to reach the Great Perfection of the Peak Late-stage Grandmaster level as soon as possible, while Ao Ming went for a walk, and with its strength, Xu Hao wasn't worried at all.
That night.
Shu Yonglan ditated, while Xiao Ling went to bed.
But before going to sleep, Xiao Ling suddenly asked, "Master, did you notice, that turtle on Brother Yu's shoulder looks sneaky."
Shu Yonglan nodded slightly and said, "Of course, I noticed too. That turtle is a spiritual object."
