Dugu Qianye nodded, and the two made their way toward the Spiritual Master Association. The Spiritual Master Association was in the center of Chichi, and though it was not large, its status was not low.
After an hour’s drive in the beast carriage, they finally stopped in front of a building resembling an ordinary residence. Huo Yi got off first, imdiately attracting the attention of the surrounding crowd. Seeing him then turn to talk to soone inside the carriage and pull aside the curtain, everyone curiously wondered who could make the legitimate Young Master of the Huo Family treat them with such respect.
When Dugu Qianye stepped out of the carriage, she imdiately dazzled everyone present. Her stunning appearance caused many n to drool and the won to gnash their teeth with envy.
Dugu Qianye paid no attention to the people’s reactions and entered the Spiritual Master Association with Huo Yi. Having heard that the Spiritual Master Association was very wealthy, Dugu Qianye had thought she would see a magnificent hall upon entering, but instead, there were only simple decorations, without even the crystal lamps used by ordinary families, just common chandeliers.
There were so benches on either side of the room, presumably for those who were waiting. Thinking back to the rcenary Guild in Baishi City, which had special lounges, this Spiritual Master Association seed a bit stingy.
A simple desk was placed at the very back of the room, and a man was lying on it, fast asleep.
"Master Hao, Master Hao," Huo Yi approached the desk and gently called to the man who was sleeping deeply. Seeing no response, he pushed him a few tis more.
"Mosquito, go away," Master Hao waved his hand in front of himself and mumbled a sentence.
Er—Huo Yi chuckled upon being compared to a mosquito and called out a couple more tis, but the man on the desk continued to sleep soundly, even smacking his lips twice as if he were dreaming of sothing delicious.
Huo Yi, helpless, looked back at Dugu Qianye, as if to say, should we wait?
Dugu Qianye stepped forward and loudly exclaid into Master Hao’s ear, "Fire! The Spiritual Master Association is burning!"
Master Hao was so startled by Dugu Qianye’s words that he sprang up from the desk, used too much force, and fell to the ground, still asking, "Where’s the fire? Where’s the fire?"
"Pfft—" Dugu Qianye couldn’t help but laugh at his reaction. Even Huo Yi was struggling to hold back his laughter, but his shoulders were shaking too much.
Master Hao was the manager of this Spiritual Master Association, and he was the sole staff mber. With a moody personality and the entire Spiritual Master Association as his backing, all of Chichi gave him a wide berth, afraid of offending him. No one had ever treated him like Dugu Qianye just did.
Hao Pengyou finally fully woke up to the sound of laughter, looked up to see Huo Yi with a face struggling not to laugh, knew he had been played, was about to get angry but then saw Dugu Qianye standing a step behind him.
"Wow, a beauty!" Hao Pengyou’s eyes lit up with hearts as he looked at Dugu Qianye. Rembering he was still on the floor, he quickly got up and straightened his clothes. Then he approached Dugu Qianye and said, "It was the young miss who woke up just now, wasn’t it? The young miss’s voice is really pleasant to the ear, like the sound of heaven. It made leave behind a table full of delicious food to see your beautiful face. How fortunate I am today to et such a peerless beauty. No wonder a magpie was calling at my door this morning, I..."
Dugu Qianye listened to Hao Pengyou’s words with a chill running down her spine and goosebumps all over. To save her ears from further tornt, she quickly interrupted, "Are you the butler here?"
"Yes, I am indeed the butler here, Hao Pengyou, at your service. Is there anything I can assist the young miss with?" Hao Pengyou said.
"Pfft—Hao Pengyou." Hearing Hao Pengyou’s na, Dugu Qianye couldn’t help but burst out laughing again. Hao Pengyou, good friend, haha.
Hao Pengyou knew Dugu Qianye was laughing at his na, but he wasn’t annoyed and said, "Yes, Hao Pengyou, good friend, from now on, we’ll be good friends! What brings you here today, little sister? Buying a Spiritual Technique or using the Transmission Array? If you’re buying a Spiritual Technique, I can give you a fifty percent discount, and there’s no charge for using the Transmission Array."
Awkward—
"I’m neither here to buy a Spiritual Technique nor to use the Transmission Array. I’m here to return Phantom Power," Dugu Qianye said. This guy is quite amusing!
"Phantom Power Spiritualization?! Are you from the lower realms?" Hao Pengyou asked in surprise.
Seeing Dugu Qianye nod, he put away his surprise, and his face blood with joy.
"Phantom Power Spiritualization, eh? That’s simple, here, here, little sister, first fill out this form for record keeping, and then I’ll tell you how to proceed." Hao Pengyou magically pulled out a form from a shabby desk and handed it to Dugu Qianye, then attentively moved a stool over for her to sit and fill it out.
"As for this, you must be speaking of the Young Master of the Huo Family, haha, sorry, I didn’t see you just now. Spiritualization takes quite so ti, you see. I think it’s better for Young Master Huo to go back first."
Huo Yi looked at Hao Pengyou’s preferential treatnt and wanted to wait there. Hao Pengyou said, "The Spiritualization can take as short as one day or as long as half a month, it’s better for Young Master Huo to go back and take care of your grandfather."
Dugu Qianye paused for a mont while filling out the form. The matter with the old Huo gentleman was supposed to be suppressed by the Huo Family, right? The Jin Family had begun to doubt whether Huo Yutian was injured after seeing him well. Hao Pengyou actually knew about it, indicating that the Spiritual Master Association wasn’t as it appeared to her.
"Huo Yi, you should go back first. Once my Phantom Power Spiritualization is complete, I’ll co and find you at the Huo Family," Dugu Qianye said.
Considering Dugu Qianye’s words and thinking about his grandfather’s condition, Huo Yi finally decided to leave. As he was leaving, he said, "I’ll co to see you again tomorrow."
Dugu Qianye gave a noncommittal nod to Huo Yi’s words and continued filling out the form.
"Girl, that guy isn’t fun at all, you should hang out with your big bro here. Stick with , and you’ll have plenty to eat," Hao Pengyou said to Dugu Qianye, trying to entice her after Huo Yi left.
Dugu Qianye handed the completed form to Hao Pengyou, looked at his slender figure with hardly any fat, and said, "People who beco my brothers all get bullied miserably by , your skinny fra probably can’t handle it. How is the Spiritualization done?"
"Don’t underestimate big brother; I’ve got a good figure!" Hao Pengyou handed her a piece of paper, saying, "The thod for Spiritualization is written here. Upstairs, turn right, the last room is the Spirit Transformation Room."
Dugu Qianye took the paper and turned to head upstairs. As she was turning the corner, she could still hear Hao Pengyou shouting from below, "Girl, after you finish your Spiritualization and have so ti, we could still verify whether or not your big bro here has got the goods, I tell you, the abs are definitely good looking."
"Bang!" Dugu Qianye walked into the Spirit Transformation Room, slamd the door shut, cutting off Hao Pengyou’s voice from the outside.
Dugu Qianye took a look at the Spirit Transformation Room. To her surprise, for a Spiritual Master Association with only a broken office desk, the room was entirely made of rare marbles, presumably to protect those undergoing Spiritualization from outside disturbances.
