"How dare you come to my hotel when you look down on me! You've gone too far! "Wang Baole snorted and walked toward the lobby of the Battle-axe Hotel.
The lobby of the Battle-axe Hotel was extremely spacious. Although it was not the best hotel in the Martian Colony City, it was still one of the oldest hotels in the city. The interior was luxuriously decorated, and it felt like a themed battle hall. All the service staff, regardless of gender, were dressed in martial attire. It was obvious that they were not ordinary people but ancient martial arts practitioners.
At the front of the lobby was a long counter for check-in procedures. Sofas were placed in front of the counter and in the corners to make it convenient for the guests to rest.
Other than that, there were also some statues and specimens of ferocious beasts placed in the hotel. This made the entire Battle-axe Hotel seem ferocious to some extent.
Even so, there were still many guests in the hotel. People came and went, and the entire hotel was bustling with activity.
"So this is my hotel." Wang Baole stood in the main hall and looked around. While he was feeling excited, Li Wuchen, who was in front of him, also noticed that Wang Baole was following him and looking around. He sneered in his heart, cursing him for being a country bumpkin and ignoring him.
At the same time, a middle-aged man in a white suit who seemed to have been waiting for a long time at the bar noticed Li Wuchen. A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly walked out of the bar to greet Li Wuchen.
"Sir, are you Dean Li Wuchen?" Before he arrived, his voice and laughter could be heard. His expression was courteous as he greeted Li Wuchen with cupped fists.
The middle-aged man's attire was different from the other service staff. He seemed to be at the True Breath realm. As he walked out, the surrounding service staff bowed their heads respectfully. He was obviously one of the management staff of the hotel and held a high position.
"You must be Fellow Daoist Xu. I am indeed Li Wuchen." Seeing the middle-aged man, Li Wuchen smiled and nodded at him.
"I received Dean Li's notice just now, so I hurried over to wait for you. Dean Li, please, let's talk here." The middle-aged man's face was beaming with happiness, and his heart was filled with pride. Although this young man was in the Foundation Establishment stage, and had a powerful background, this was still his territory, and he had to treat him with respect.
In response to the middle-aged man's invitation, Li Wuchen nodded with a smile and went with him to the resting area not far away. As for Wang Baole, he directly ignored him. As for the middle-aged man with the surname Xu, he obviously didn't recognize Wang Baole. If it had been any other time, perhaps due to Wang Baole's cultivation, he would have personally received him. However, right now, his focus was obviously on Li Wuchen.
Moreover, there were many cultivators coming and going in the hotel. The middle-aged man surnamed Xu had clearly seen too much, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. He chatted with Li Wuchen in a low voice in the resting area.
Seeing this, Wang Baole raised his eyebrows and simply walked to the resting area as well. He sat down comfortably not far from the two of them and ordered a drink. As he drank, he looked at his hotel and listened to their conversation.
Noticing Wang Baole's approach, Li Wuchen felt a little annoyed. However, he had important matters to attend to at the moment, so he ignored him again and turned to discuss with the middle-aged man surnamed Xu in the hotel again. After a while, Li Wuchen showed a displeased expression and spoke in a low voice.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, this matter must come to a conclusion today. This time, I'm not only representing myself, but also the Fire Spirit Academy!"
"Dean Li, this matter is too big. I will try my best to mediate, but I can't guarantee the time." The middle-aged man surnamed Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Listening to their conversation, Wang Baole was a little surprised. In fact, when he saw Li Wuchen's attitude towards the middle-aged man surnamed Xu, he could tell that Li Wuchen had a favor to ask of him. He was already curious, so he approached to hear what was going on.
Wang Baole didn't know the details, but he was able to deduce Li Wuchen's identity from what he heard.
"Deputy dean of the Fire Spirit Academy? The same position as me! " Wang Baole was a little annoyed. He thought about how he had achieved a Primary Rank Five Noble because of his many contributions. However, this Li Wuchen didn't seem to have contributed much and was actually the same as him.
Even though Wang Baole wasn't satisfied with the position of Deputy Dean of the Dao Mountain Mist Academy, seeing that Li Wuchen was of the same rank as him still made Wang Baole uncomfortable. Hence, he snorted.
Also, when he was looking through the information, he had taken note of the Fire Spirit Academy. After all, the Fire Spirit Academy was like the Dao Mountain Mist Academy. They were both elite academies on Mars. To a certain extent, the two academies were competitors.
While Wang Baole was thinking, Li Wuchen and the middle-aged man surnamed Xu spoke louder than before. Li Wuchen frowned, but his eyes glinted.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, it's just a problem with the direction of the axe. It's not that troublesome, is it? Moreover, it's not like the axe hasn't changed before!"
"Dean Li, although that's the case, I can't make the decision on this matter. Can you wait for a few days? I've already reported it. Although the owner has changed, it'll probably be approved in a few days."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Wang Baole's curiosity grew. He couldn't understand why a Deputy Dean of the Fire Spirit Academy would come here to communicate with a True Breath realm cultivator over a problem with the direction of the axe.
If this wasn't his hotel, it wouldn't have mattered. However, since it was his own hotel, Wang Baole was even more curious. He opened the Spirit Intranet and keyed in Battle-axe, Fire Spirit Academy, and other keywords to do a search. After a quick search, Wang Baole's eyes widened in disbelief.
"There's a story behind this Battle-axe Hotel!"
This Battle-axe Hotel was built right across from the Fire Spirit Academy. In terms of location, it was considered a good location. Moreover, it was close to the academy and not far from the bustling area. Business was good too. However, this hotel seemed very strange …
The strange thing about this hotel was that it seemed to counter the Fire Spirit Academy … More accurately, it was the Battle-axe Hotel that countered the Fire Spirit Academy. All of this seemed to have something to do with the huge battle-axe in front of the hotel.
When the Fire Spirit Academy was first built, everything was normal. However, when the Battle-axe Hotel opposite it opened for business, the huge battle-axe with a murderous aura pointed directly at the Fire Spirit Academy. Therefore, in less than a year, the Deputy Dean of the Fire Spirit Academy at that time died in an accident …
After that, the second Deputy Dean came. Not only did he have a high level of cultivation, he was also good at divination. He calculated that the murderous aura of the battle-axe was too strong. However, this hotel belonged to the higher-ups of the Three Moon Group after all. They couldn't use force against it. Therefore, after discussing with the Battle-axe Hotel, they paid a price and changed the direction of the axe's blade so that it no longer pointed directly at the Fire Spirit Academy.
Perhaps it really worked. In less than a year, the second Deputy Dean was promoted and transferred back to Earth. He was now the Deputy Minister of a large department.
Following his promotion, the third Deputy Dean took office. The third Deputy Dean didn't believe in heresy and ignored the hotel. Therefore, the hotel turned the blade of the battle-axe around and pointed it at the Fire Spirit Academy again.
In less than half a year, the third Deputy Dean's corruption was discovered by the Colony Disciplinary Order. He was arrested immediately and was now imprisoned in the Martian Prison …
The appearance of these three incidents immediately made the Battle-axe Hotel popular. After that, the first thing all the newly appointed Deputy Deans of the Fire Spirit Academy did was to communicate with the hotel and change the direction of the blade of the battle-axe.
This incident was too strange. People would rather believe it than not. During this period, there were also those who didn't believe in heresy. However, none of them were spared. Most of them were arrested. For example, the previous Deputy Dean was one of them … Therefore, Li Wuchen, as the new Deputy Dean of the Fire Spirit Academy, came here to negotiate with the hotel.
"So this can be done …" Wang Baole was overjoyed after reading the information. His eyes lit up. When he looked at the gloomy Li Wuchen, a smile appeared on his face.
At that moment, Li Wuchen seemed to have lost his patience. He stood up abruptly and looked coldly at the middle-aged man with the surname Xu.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I don't care about the change in owners. I want an answer today!"
"Dean Li, I won't hide it from you. This incident was originally not a problem. However, I received a notice a few days ago that the hotel had changed owners. That's why I didn't manage to deal with it in time." The middle-aged man also stood up quickly and said with a bitter smile.
"So, Dean Li, please don't make things difficult for me. How about this … I'll ask for instructions now. Although I haven't met the new owner, the old owner gave me his contact details. I'll ask for instructions. Don't worry, Dean Li. This isn't a big deal. There shouldn't be a problem."
After hearing the middle-aged man's reply, Li Wuchen's expression relaxed a little. He nodded. In his opinion, there shouldn't be any accidents. After all, he had the backing of the Ethereal Dao College and the Grand Supreme Elder. Ordinary people wouldn't make things difficult for him over such a small matter.
Therefore, he ignored the middle-aged man who took out his voice transmission ring to ask for instructions from the hotel's new owner. Li Wuchen glanced sideways at Wang Baole, who was fiddling with his voice transmission ring. When he noticed Wang Baole's smug expression, he snorted contemptuously.
"Country bumpkin! Sooner or later, I'll make you spit out all the spirit blood you swallowed with interest! "
