Chapter 2242 - 2234: Hand Over the Key, Then Get Out!
Zhang Wenyue was surprised to see that the other party was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Nine Heavens Sect.
Nine Heavens Sect, the leader of the three Supreme Sects of the Biluo Dynasty!
An Inner Sect Disciple from the Nine Heavens Sect, no matter which kingdom they arrived at, would receive a grand reception.
"Just because you can’t afford it, doesn’t mean others can’t!" At this moment, a calm voice sounded, and Huang Xiaolong walked over.
Since Zhang Wenyue had walked a few steps ahead earlier, Huang Xiaolong only arrived now.
"Young Master," Zhang Wenyue called out sweetly as she reached Huang Xiaolong’s side.
The Nine Heavens Sect Inner Sect Disciple Zhao Ruigan saw someone interrupt, not only backing up Zhang Wenyue but also mocking him, which made his expression darken as he looked over at Huang Xiaolong.
At this moment, Huang Xiaolong was dressed in a light blue brocade robe, with no indication of which sect or school it belonged to.
Zhao Ruigan’s eyes turned cold: "Kid, are you her master? What little punk from which kingdom are you from? Do you know who I am?"
He held his head high, looking down on Huang Xiaolong with a superior gaze.
Being an Inner Sect Disciple of the Nine Heavens Sect, he naturally had a strong sense of superiority.
Huang Xiaolong smiled indifferently: "Who you are, and which little punk of some sect, or which disciple of a little punk you are, I actually have no interest in knowing."
Zhang Wenyue couldn’t help but cover her mouth, letting out a soft laugh.
"Give me a superior courtyard, I want to stay for ten days!" Huang Xiaolong took out ten notes of Holy Currency, each worth ten thousand, and tossed them onto the counter.
The shop clerk was momentarily dazed.
Zhao Ruigan, upon hearing Huang Xiaolong dismiss him as just another little punk from some sect, couldn’t help but shake with fury, his eyes flaring with rage, as if he were ready to swallow Huang Xiaolong whole.
In the Fragrance Restaurant, many other sect and family disciples, seeing Huang Xiaolong dare to provoke Zhao Ruigan like this, were shocked and surprised.
"Who is this kid? Is he tired of living? How dare he offend Zhao Ruigan! Zhao Ruigan is a Direct Disciple of Zhou Heng, the Supreme Elder of the Nine Heavens Sect!"
"It’s fine if he wants to court death, but if he implicates the sect, he will be the eternal sinner of the sect!"
Some experts’ discussions continuously reached the ears of Huang Xiaolong and the others.
Huang Xiaolong’s expression was indifferent.
"Kid, did you hear that? It’s fine if you want to die, but if you implicate your sect, you will be your sect’s eternal sinner!" Zhao Ruigan sneered, looking somewhat pleased with himself: "Now slap your own face ten times and admit your mistakes, and I can pretend that none of this ever happened."
Huang Xiaolong ignored Zhao Ruigan, tapping his fingers on the counter, and said to the shop clerk: "Give me a superior courtyard!"
Only then did the shop clerk snap out of his daze. He looked at Zhao Ruigan, hesitated for a moment, and finally handed Huang Xiaolong a jade key.
On the jade key, the number nine was engraved, indicating it was the ninth courtyard.
Seeing that Huang Xiaolong ignored him, Zhao Ruigan’s eyes shot cold light, but ultimately, he suppressed his murderous intent, turned to the shop clerk, and said, "Give me a superior courtyard too!" Then, like Huang Xiaolong, he took out ten ten-thousand Holy Currency notes.
But the shop clerk looked troubled and said, "This, Lord Zhao, I’m sorry, but that ninth courtyard was our last superior courtyard."
The last one!
Zhao Ruigan was stunned.
The shop clerk timidly asked, "Otherwise, Lord Zhao, we still have a few medium courtyards, which are actually quite good; they’re only missing a Spirit Gathering Array compared to the superior ones. If Lord Zhao wants, we can offer you a ten percent discount."
Zhao Ruigan’s face was extremely displeased, and he roared, "What did you say? Say it again, you’re actually letting us stay in a medium courtyard while that kid stays in a superior one?!"
This made him extremely furious. Just a moment ago, the slave girl and the unknown master he looked down upon were staying in a superior courtyard, while he, a dignified Inner Sect Disciple of the Nine Heavens, was expected to stay in a medium one?
This was utterly humiliating to him!
Moreover, he had come to reserve a superior courtyard by order of his master, who had specifically asked for it!
The shop clerk stammered, not knowing how to respond.
"Make that kid hand over the key to the ninth superior courtyard to us!" At this point, Zhao Ruigan pointed at the key in Huang Xiaolong’s hand and said.
𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaolong coldly chuckled.
The shop clerk was momentarily stunned, then awkwardly said, "This, Lord Zhao, you know our hotel’s rules. Since that gentleman reserved first, the ninth superior courtyard belongs to him, so—"
Zhao Ruigan’s expression darkened, "My master has a VIP Card, and I came to reserve the courtyard by his order."
"This." The shop clerk hesitated, saying, "In principle, if there were a VIP Card, we indeed could give you the ninth superior courtyard, it’s just this VIP Card!"
"What’s going on?" At this moment, a stern voice sounded, and a middle-aged man dressed in the Supreme Elder’s robe of the Nine Heavens Sect walked over.
"Master!" Zhao Ruigan’s face lit up with joy.
The newcomer was none other than his master, Zhou Heng.
Zhao Ruigan quickly related the events to Zhou Heng, who, upon hearing that Huang Xiaolong dared to challenge his Direct Disciple and reserved the last superior courtyard, glared at Huang Xiaolong with eyes like daggers and tossed a radiant gold card to the shop clerk: "Open your little eyes wide and look closely, this is your hotel’s VIP Card!"
The shop clerk, upon receiving the gold card, confirmed without a doubt that it was indeed the VIP Card of the Fragrance Hotel and infused with Divine Power to reveal its holder as Zhou Heng himself.
"Since it’s confirmed, kid, hand over the key to courtyard nine!" Zhou Heng barked at Huang Xiaolong, while simultaneously instructing the shop clerk, "From now on, whatever courtyard or room this kid wants to book, I will have it booked first!"
He was not only intent on making Huang Xiaolong give up the key to the superior courtyard but also on ensuring that Huang Xiaolong would have no place at the Fragrance Hotel! He wanted Huang Xiaolong out!
Of course, this was just a preliminary punishment for Huang Xiaolong; later, after investigating Huang Xiaolong’s family and sect, he would settle the score properly.
The shop clerk approached Huang Xiaolong, apologetically: "Sir, according to our hotel rules, the ninth superior courtyard must be given to Lord Zhou Heng."
Zhao Ruigan sneered, "Kid, are you still standing there foolishly? Didn’t you hear what the shop clerk said? Hand over the key and get out!"
The surrounding experts were all shaking their heads, looking at Huang Xiaolong with pity.
This is the outcome of offending the Nine Heavens Sect!
Just when everyone assumed Huang Xiaolong would hand over the key and leave the hotel, Huang Xiaolong retrieved a card from his Space Divine Artifact. This card was similar in appearance to Zhou Heng’s VIP Card, but Huang Xiaolong’s was a purple-gold color, exuding a more noble aura.
This is?!
Everyone’s eyes widened.
"Look closely," Huang Xiaolong tossed the purple-gold card to the shop clerk: "This is your hotel’s Advanced VIP Card!"
The Fragrance Hotel had ordinary VIP Cards, and above those, there were Advanced VIP Cards, while Zhou Heng’s was just an ordinary VIP Card. Huang Xiaolong’s was advanced!
After the incident with the Young Sect Master of the Beast Emperor Sect at the Fanxiang Trading House, Huang Xiaolong had been mindful, so he specially spent a lot of money to obtain an Advanced VIP Card from the Fragrance Hotel while on the road.
