“Cousin, please follow . I have already booked an ordinary ‘Cloud’ private room beforehand.” Xia Qilin stated.
The rooms in Immortal Pavilion could be divided into three tiers depending on one’s status.
Cloud rooms belonged to the lowest tier.
Sky rooms belonged to the middle tier.
Immortal rooms belonged to the highest tier.
The Northern Xia Manor might have so financial ability. But right now, they were still not qualified to book sky rooms or immortal rooms and could only book rooms of the lowest tier, the cloud rooms.
“Brother Xia is truly wealthy. To get a private room in the Immortal Pavilion, one needed status. For those with low statuses, they wouldn’t even have the qualifications to book a room,” said the silkpants young master. He was a fellow student in the upper court of Xia Qilin and was also from a martial aristocratic clan.
As he spoke, he had a smile that was not a smile on his face as he glanced at Xia Qingchen.
He ant that even if soone like Xia Qingchen was wealthy, he wouldn’t be qualified to enter the Immortal Pavilion at all.
“Everything is worth it for my female cousin.” Xia Qilin smiled. He had a look of pride on his face as he turned to Xia Qingchen. “Cousin, just follow today. I will broaden your horizons by showing you the way of life people in the upper-class have. If you missed out on this chance, it wouldn’t be easy for you to co to the Immortal Pavilion again in the future.”
Now that his female cousin was here, he naturally wanted to suppress Xia Qingchen to exhibit his own outstanding points.
Xia Qingchen was expressionless. He calmly spoke, “Just enter.”
If he wished to co to the Immortal Pavilion, he rely needed to let Wang Bahu know about it. What was so difficult?
What surprised him was that Xia Qilin actually chose the sa place he did to hold the welcoming reception.
“Hehe!” Xia Qilin despised that calm look on Xia Qingchen’s face. From his perspective, that was rely how Xia Qingchen could retain so dignity. He intentionally had a calm look just to save face.
They arrived at the Immortal Pavilion but were barred from entering by two rows of burly guards at the entrance.
“I made a reservation about half a month ago for a cloud room. This is the receipt, please take a look at it.” Xia Qilin’s attitude beca much more polite, even though these people were just guards.
But who could have expected that the guards didn’t give him any face at all? One of them solemnly spoke, “There’s a VIP coming to the Immortal Pavilion today. We will temporarily rest for a day, and all reservations are canceled.”
Ah?
Why would it be like this?
He took out a year’s worth of his private savings to reserve a room just to make his younger female cousin happy.
But in the end, such a thing actually happened.
“Cousin, just forget it,” Zhao Churan spoke sweetly, yet there was a disappointnt in her eyes that she found difficult to mask.
It was fine if she didn’t say this. Now, how could Xia Qilin bear to lose face before his cousin? He clasped his fist to the guard and said, “Brother guard, my father is Xia Xun of the Northern Xia Manor. Please help report this to the Dong Clan and make things easy for us.”
His father had once eaten a al with Wang Bahu from the Immortal Pavilion. As long as he used his father’s na, it should be able to make Wang Bahu bend the rules slightly for them.
However, that guard was extrely arrogant. He had a look of disdain on his face. “Xia Xun? Which trash is that? He even dares to act like he is soone of status here in the Immortal Pavilion?”
Right now, Xia Qilin had completely lost his face. His countenance changed as he took out a dallion. “I am Xia Qilin, a new student of the martial pavilion. Look at this carefully!’
The status of soone from the martial pavilion’s upper court wasn’t low.
In Lone Cloud City, who wouldn’t give students of the martial pavilion so face?
“Look at your shit, scram!” However, that guard couldn’t even be bothered to take a glance. “Even if the Martial Pavilion Leader ca himself, it would be useless!”
Xia Qilin felt embarrassed and angry. He failed to establish dominance and on the contrary, he lost face before his cousin.
“Leave imdiately!” The guard walked down the stairs and brandished his baton, wanting to chase them away.
All of a sudden, he noticed a slightly skinny youth standing at the rear of this group, his hands folded behind his back.
The guard’s expression drastically changed. The fierce look on his face was hurriedly retracted. He straightened his back and put a smile on his face as he stepped forward to greet soone.
This was because he recognized Xia Qingchen, the VIP that Wang Bahu was talking about!
Today, the Immortal Pavilion was only open for Xia Qingchen!
However, Xia Qingchen gave him a look, signaling him to keep things quiet.
The guard understood tacitly. He instantly changed his expression and spoke to Xia Qilin, “I’ve recalled it. So you are Xia Qilin, Young Master Xia. This lowly one must be blind, couldn’t recognize Mount Tai even if it is before .”
Xia Qilin was currently extrely embarrassed and angry. Now that the guard’s attitude abruptly turned 180 degrees, he couldn’t help but be startled.
“Young Master Xia’s great na is like thunder piercing my ears. I’m impressed completely and would even dream about taking a look at you. I didn’t expect that you would co here today. Your presence truly brings lights to the Immortal Pavilion!” In truth, he had never even heard of Xia Qilin’s na before. The words he had spoken were just sothing he randomly made up on the spot.
Xia Qilin rubbed his nose as he mused silently, was his fa really so great?
But since the guard was willing to give in, it could be considered that the breath of bad qi in him was exhaled. He snorted, “We will forget about it this ti. In the future, you best pay more attention to your tone when speaking to . If there is a next ti, I won’t spare you!”
“Yes, yes, yes. This little one knows that I’m in the wrong,” the guard hurriedly conceded, yet his heart was filled with contempt. “Is this daddy soone a brat like you can teach a lesson to? If it isn’t for Xia Qingchen, I would have already crushed you to death!”
But he still maintained a smile on his face. “Everyone, please co with .”
Zhao Churan’s eyes glead brightly. He spoke in a low voice, “Big brother Qilin is so aweso. Everyone has to give you face in Lone Cloud City.”
“Haha, you praise too much.” Xia Qilin’s face flashed with a few hints of arrogance.
Even the silkpants young master and the other young man with a cold sharp gaze felt that Xia Qilin was impressive.
Xia Qingchen followed behind them quietly, his expression was incomparably calm.
They passed by the top-tier and most expensive private room, the immortal room. They could see peak experts of the Immortal Pavilion neatly lined up in rows, as well as beautiful female attendants here, ready to take orders at any ti. The top-tier chefs from the city were also here preparing to serve delicacies.
Rare wines that couldn’t be seen in the outside world, delicacies shipped over from the capital, priceless wine cups, wine flasks—luxurious items were everywhere. It was a banquet fit for a king.
Xia Qilin’s eyes were filled with shock. “I wonder what sort of grand character is coming. That person could actually cause the Immortal Pavilion to give them such preferential treatnt!”
The silkpants young master had a look of respect on his face. That sort of existence was sothing he wasn’t even qualified to look up to.
Zhao Churan was also filled with envy. For such a luxurious banquet, she didn’t know if she would have a chance to attend one in her life.
With reluctance in their hearts, they left and headed to one of the lowest-price cloud rooms.
When compared to the luxurious immortal rooms, the cloud rooms were clearly much simpler. But this was only comparatively speaking. When compared to the inns in the outside world, a cloud room was still much higher in terms of grade.
In the room, Xia Qingchen formally introduced his friends to Zhao Churan. “These two are my good friends from the sa school. Wu Yanfei and Chen Jun.”
Wu Yanfei was the silkpants young master, while Chen Jun was the person with the sharp gaze.
Their cultivation bases were similar, at the sixth radiance-level of the minor constellation stage.
“I greet the two young masters.” Zhao Churan nodded to express courtesy.
Wu Yanfei was in an extrely good mood. “During these days in Lone Cloud City, Miss Zhao should tour the city and have fun, all of Miss Zhao’s expenses will be covered by . You can just quote my na to the rchants!”
Xia Qilin laughed as he introduced, “Cousin Churan, don’t be polite with him. His clan isn’t only a martial aristocratic clan, but they also control 20% of Lone Cloud City’s wine market. They are extrely wealthy!”
“As for Brother Chen Jun, hehe. He is even more impressive. His clan controls the water trade routes of Lone Cloud City. He just needs to say a single sentence to summon over a hundred cultivators to fight for him.”
Simply put, he was in a gang and specialized in bullying others, being a tyrant.
Whoever in Lone Cloud City offended him would instantly face all the ruffians in the city.
Chen Jun proudly inclined his head. “Qilin is my brother. Since Miss Zhao is his younger cousin, you are my cousin as well. In the future, if you run into any trouble in Lone Cloud City, you can look for anyti.”
Zhao Churan’s beautiful eyes glead brightly as she smiled and thanked him.
She silently mused that Xia Qilin was truly different now when compared to the past. The people he was acquainted with were all of such high statuses.
In the future, it was difficult even if Xia Qilin didn’t want to have great achievents.
As for Xia Qingchen, at this mont, it was evident that his status was incompatible with this group of people.
