Upon hearing the slightly chubby owner's words, everyone was taken aback.
This inn's size alone indicated a very high-end place; they only ca here because they simply couldn't find another inn. An owner of such an inn is certainly not an inexperienced rookie! They must have seen all sorts of people, yet when ng Zihao presented the Dayang Sect's invitation, the owner rely nodded indifferently.
Now, seeing how the owner was treating Ding Fan with such overwhelming respect and awe, how could they not be shocked?
Ye Ming looked at Ding Fan with a face full of astonishnt; Ding Fan was simply too enigmatic, leaving him deeply shaken.
Involuntarily, Ye Ming began to seriously ponder Ding Fan's identity. What kind of person could he possibly be?
Lianzi and the lady in the purple dress glanced at the slightly chubby owner, who was standing before Ding Fan with a bowed posture, also astounded.
An owner of such a prestigious inn certainly wasn't an ordinary person, yet here he was, seemingly completely submitting to Ding Fan. How could they not be surprised?
They were aware that the finest rooms in this inn were not easily rented out to others. After all, Xueling City was already overcrowded, and many cultivators didn't even have a place to stay.
Moreover, from the owner's remarks, whether Ding Fan stayed here or not, the best, and most prestigious room would be reserved for him.
To enjoy such treatnt, perhaps there were only a few in the entire Xueling City!
A few of the inn's staff mbers looked at their slightly chubby boss in disbelief; the scene was simply unimaginable to everyone.
For those who didn't know their boss, it might not seem like a big deal. But as employees interacting with him daily, they knew all too well his usual deanor.
They had never seen the boss act this way; even when officials from the Imperial Court ca, he didn't act so dramatically. Few could make him behave so extravagantly in years!
Could that youth be another exceptional figure? Yes, yes, he must be!
...
Ding Fan didn't mind too much about this, but he surmised that He Qianyao might have so connection with the Dayang Sect, and possibly a very special one. Otherwise, why would the inn owner be so astonished upon seeing the jade plate and act so respectfully toward him?
Since the owner recognized the jade plate, Ding Fan naturally went with the flow and then requested the owner to allow his companions to join him in the best room.
The slightly chubby owner dared not hesitate and agreed imdiately.
In his eyes, although Ding Fan appeared young and didn't dress like a high-ranking elder of the Dayang Sect, his insight was far beyond that of ordinary people. He didn't care about Ding Fan's identity at first glance; what he valued was the jade plate.
Clearly, he understood that this jade plate held an extraordinary position within the Dayang Sect and was typically unavailable to ordinary people.
Regardless of how the young man in front of him acquired it, as the jade plate was now in his possession, the slightly chubby owner concluded that he must not be an ordinary person.
When he first saw the jade plate, even the highly-esteed elder of the Dayang Sect only stayed once at his inn and didn't give him a chance to ingratiate himself. After all, forming even a slight amicable connection with such a prominent figure would be imnsely beneficial to him.
Encountering Ding Fan now, how could he not seize the opportunity to make a good impression?
"Young Master, if you and your friends will follow , please, after you."
The slightly chubby man said respectfully to Ding Fan, then stood beside the staircase, inviting Ding Fan with utmost respect.
At the counter, ng Zihao's face was clouded with gloom. Suddenly, nobody cared about him anymore; nurous inn staff followed the slightly chubby owner and greeted Ding Fan with bright smiles and utmost respect. If even his boss treated Ding Fan this way, it was obvious to anyone that the person was no simple character.
How could any of them dare to offend him in the slightest!
Beside him, ng Zihao's face twisted in venomous indignation, feeling extrely upset, as only monts ago, he was full of pride, and now, he was utterly neglected.
The disparity was unbearably uncomfortable!
Following this, apart from ng Zihao, everyone else followed Ding Fan under the guidance of the slightly chubby owner to a spacious hall.
The hall was full of flowers and birds, clean and bright, with exquisitely crafted furniture and intricately carved details, truly an extraordinary place, even surpassing the decor of most prominent families.
Seeing this scene before them, everyone couldn't help but feel delighted, having rarely ever seen such beautiful surroundings.
In the hall, surrounded by nurous private rooms, after admiring the magnificent hall, everyone sought out a room and entered.
Coming into the room, Ding Fan felt imnsely satisfied; despite being private, the room was as large as half the hall outside, with all the furniture fully equipped, not to ntion the myriad and countless decorative items.
"Are you satisfied with this place, Young Master?"
The slightly chubby man respectfully asked Ding Fan.
"Hmm, okay."
Ding Fan nodded indifferently and then said.
The slightly chubby owner maintained an extrely bright smile, and after respectfully explaining so of the room's facilities to Ding Fan, he left. However, not only did the smile on his face not disappear, it beca even more radiant.
The slightly chubby owner exited Ding Fan's room, recalling the other's satisfied answer, and couldn't help feeling imnsely joyous, then descended with a smile he couldn't hide.
After a quick tour of the room's interior, Ding Fan sat cross-legged in a dedicated cultivation spot and began to cultivate.
Ti passed unwittingly during Ding Fan's cultivation, and before he knew it, a night had gone by. When Ding Fan finished the next morning, he felt extraordinarily refreshed. His cultivation had progressed significantly after a night of training. Ding Fan inwardly praised the effects of cultivation in this Cultivation World; it's indeed different.
At that mont, the sense of saturation within Ding Fan's dantian was markedly stronger. He estimated that his cultivation was nearing a breakthrough; even with regular cultivation and no Spirit Pills, he might break through to the Ergence Stage in a few months!
Ding Fan felt a wave of joy, but his face soon returned to calmness. Thinking of Zhou Ruoran and others, a sense of urgency involuntarily surged in his heart, but he knew anxiety was useless; he had to find them quickly with the right thod.
The weather had begun to clear up, and Ding Fan gazed out through the room's large floor-to-ceiling window, filled with emotion.
The room's large glass window was clear and bright, facing Xueling City's main street, capturing the entire scenery outside. The street was already crowded, the flow of people so dense it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe them as rubbing shoulders.
Ding Fan estimated that the number of people was probably at least ten tis the usual in Xueling City, given that there wasn't much ti left before the Dayang Sect's disciple recruitnt.
Then Ding Fan pressed the doorbell, even he wasn't sure how the chanism worked in this Cultivation World. Having stayed in nurous hotels, it was truly the first ti he had seen such technology akin to Earth's, showing the high level of this inn.
Sure enough, in just a mont, a beautiful waitress arrived at Ding Fan's door.
Ding Fan directly inquired about the whereabouts of Zhou Ruoran, Gusu Qingwen, and Ye Ningbing from her, but unfortunately, the waitress shook her head with a polite smile, not having heard of them.
Subsequently, Ding Fan asked about the Dayang Sect discovering three mysterious individuals at sea, but she showed the sa expression, knowing nothing about it.
Initially, Ding Fan assud that given the high class of the inn, they must know more than the average person. However, upon receiving her response, he felt sowhat lancholic, which further confird his belief.
Regarding the Dayang Sect discovering three mysterious individuals at sea, only by entering the Dayang Sect would one know.
Finally, after making so inquiries with the waitress, Ding Fan learned that the Dayang Sect's disciple recruitnt would start this afternoon. After learning so things, the beautiful waitress, maintaining a constant smile, left.
There were still a few hours before the recruitnt began, and before long, Ye Ming and others ca to find Ding Fan.
The group gathered, and after a while, ng Zihao also arrived.
However, upon entering and seeing the scene before him, ng Zihao was utterly shocked!
This place was worlds apart from what his so-called VIP area was; living here compared to there was simply heaven to his place.
Unable to hide the unpleasant expression on his face, ng Zihao looked distressed.
His so-called VIP area was nothing but rubbish!
"Ding Fan, thank you. Without you, we couldn't possibly stay in such a fine environnt."
At this mont, Lianzi earnestly thanked Ding Fan.
Subsequently, Ye Ming and others chid in, showering Ding Fan with gratitude.
"You're welco."
Ding Fan smiled lightly, saying little more. Since everyone ca together, he felt there was no need for such politeness.
During a casual conversation among the group, ng Zihao's face flickered with emotions, then he said:
"Let's quickly attend the disciple recruitnt; that's our big deal, everything else is trivial."
When ng Zihao ntioned the disciple recruitnt, a sense of superiority rose in his heart again. To him, he was 100% confident in joining the Dayang Sect. He just waited for the mont to see what else Ding Fan had to brag about!
The group didn't seem particularly interested in ng Zihao's words, then simply tidied up before walking out of the inn, showered with smiles by the slightly chubby owner.
By then, the rules and thods for the Dayang Sect's disciple recruitnt had been announced. Everyone knew the specific location, and soon they headed towards "Cloud Ascension Peak."
