Chapter 817: Chapter 817 Adulation of Foreignness
Lin Dong had no idea that Yan Yu, Gong Wu, and Zhao Ziming were plotting in secret.
At the mont, he was wholeheartedly refining the Semi dicine King Millennium Sea Ginseng.
In a flash, two days passed.
Lin Dong spent a full two days refining before he finally managed to refine the Semi dicine King.
“Huuu~”
Through inner view, Lin Dong saw that within the center of his Dantian, half a Golden Pill had ford once again.
“One quasi-drug king, plus one five hundred years old Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, and the absorption of those Yin Energies from Xiao Yu, all these energies combined only allowed
to condense half a Golden Pill.”
“The further along I get, the harder it is to make progress in cultivation,” he secretly said.
However, although cultivation was difficult, Lin Dong still had confidence.
He stepped out of the suite where he had retreated and saw Ah Lang guarding the door.
He had even slept there, never leaving his post.
On one hand, he was protecting Lin Dong while retreating; on the other, he was ready to defend Li Qingcheng and her father Liu Chuanqi in the adjacent room at any mont.
When Lin Dong erged, Ah Lang’s eyes instantly snapped open.
Then, with joy, he said, “Big brother, have you finished your seclusion?”
Lin Dong nodded and patted his shoulder, “Ah Lang, you’ve worked hard.”
“Big brother, there’s nothing hard about it,” Ah Lang scratched his head.
“Let’s go, let’s have so food.”
Lin Dong called Ah Lang and the father-daughter duo, Li Qingcheng and Liu Chuanqi, to dine in the hotel’s banquet hall.
Having fasted for two days during his seclusion, Lin Dong naturally needed to replenish his strength with so food.
Arriving at the banquet hall, Lin Dong suddenly saw soone familiar not too far away.
He observed the person for a long ti before finally confirming their identity.
He hadn’t expected to encounter soone he knew in Demon City.
eting an old acquaintance in a foreign place was always a pleasant surprise.
Even Lin Dong could not help feeling a mont of joy.
“Yu Jing, what are you doing here? I thought I had mistaken soone else for you. I didn’t expect it really was you!”
The person in front of him was nad Yu Jing.
She was Lin Dong’s classmate from high school and also the Foreign Language Class Representative.
During the high school reunion in the county town, Lin Dong had learned through bits and pieces from other classmates that she seed to have gone to study abroad in Yinghua Country.
Therefore, she wasn’t present at the high school reunion.
Moreover, since she studied abroad, she had left the class group and her whereabouts were rarely known to the others.
Lin Dong never imagined he would et her here.
And the reason Lin Dong rembered her so vividly was that she used to sit right in front of him.
As everyone knows, classmates seated in front and behind each other during school years are usually not complete strangers.
When Yu Jing heard soone calling her na, she also turned towards the direction of the voice.
Upon seeing Lin Dong, she slightly frowned and asked, “And who are you?”
Despite the coldness emanating from her, Lin Dong’s expression remained warm as he said,
“It’s , Lin Dong. We were high school classmates, I used to sit behind you.”
“Oh,” Yu Jing nodded, “I rember now, it’s you, Lin Dong. I recall that you failed the College Entrance Examination, what are you doing at the Demon City Grand Hotel? Are you working here as a waiter or a security guard?”
She glanced over Lin Dong’s attire, her expression sowhat dismissive.
In her eyes, Lin Dong was one of those classmates who hadn’t done well and now ca to her trying to ingratiate himself.
She generally couldn’t be bothered to give such people the ti of day.
Lin Dong could feel her indifference, and the warmth on his face dissipated.
“No, just taking care of so business in Demon City. I didn’t expect to run into you, so I just wanted to say hello,” Lin Dong’s tone also beca sowhat cold.
“What’s my status, and what’s yours? Saying hello to
lowers my standing!” Yu Jing sneered.
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong couldn’t help but reply, “We’re classmates. How does saying hello to you lower your status?”
“Heh…” Yu Jing sneered. “Do you know what my status is now? I am a businessman who provides services to foreign guests. I deal with foreigners, and they are all wealthy ones.”
“Do you know why I’m here? I am here to welco the Young Master Mr. Ishii Koizumi from the Yinghua rchants’ Association.”
“Why are you trying to cozy up to ? If Mr. Ishii Koizumi sees us together later, he might think I’m just so lowly hotel waiter too.”
“Tell , how is that not lowering my status?”
As she spoke, a commotion was heard from outside.
A fleet of luxury cars arrived at the door.
Recognizing the owners of the cars, Yu Jing realized who was arriving.
“Mr. Ishii Koizumi has arrived!” The coldness Yu Jing had toward Lin Dong was replaced by a smile tinged with obsequiousness.
She gave Lin Dong a disdainful look and said, “Move aside, stop trying to get close to . Not everyone is worthy of doing so!”
After saying that, she switched back to a smiling face and went to the door to greet her so-called ‘noble’ foreign guest.
Seeing this, Li Qingcheng frowned and said, “Brother, I really feel like slapping that female classmate of yours. Such an attitude.”
“Forget it,” Lin Dong gestured, “Just ignore her.”
But just at that mont, they heard Yu Jing commanding the Hotel Manager,
“What’s wrong with you, Manager? I asked you to roll out the red carpet and sweep the couch in welco. Are you deaf?”
“If there’s no red carpet and Mr. Ishii Koizumi’s shoes get dirty, are you going to take responsibility for that?”
The manager responded humbly, “Miss, the hotel doesn’t have such rules. We can’t just roll out the red carpet for a foreign guest coming to our hotel for a al. We treat everyone the sa!”
“Pop!”
As he said this, he unexpectedly received a slap from Yu Jing.
She struck the manager’s face with a slap.
“Why waste your breath? Just do what I told you! Believe it or not, I can get the hotel owner to fire you right away!”
“If the Hotel owner saw Mr. Ishii Koizumi, he would also roll out the red carpet and sweep the couch in welco. Who do you think you are, daring to say no?”
