Zifeng Ridge, Blazing Sun Tower.
The owner of the Blazing Sun Tower was called Huo Changsheng. He was a collateral relative of the royal family. Apart from his surname, he had nothing to do with the royal family.
But with his clever methods, Huo Changsheng's business was booming. Ever since Ziyan Mountain was destroyed, his Blazing Sun Tower became a good place.
Especially after the Great Light Temple was built, many tourists came here every day to view the scenery. Business was booming, and it could be said that it was raking in money every day.
If it was in the past, no matter how clever Huo Changsheng was, he could not occupy such a good place. But Zhu Jinghong severely attacked the Huo royal family, and Huo Changsheng's collateral relative status gained an advantage.
Huo Changsheng also seized the opportunity to form a relationship with Xu Youtong's youngest son. With the relationship of the empire's prime minister, the news of the Blazing Sun Tower was naturally even more popular.
The news that Gao Zhengyang was going to hold the opening ceremony on the third of March spread, and the Blazing Sun Tower was filled with tourists. Even though the price of meals was raised fivefold, the customers still flocked in.
The high-class rooms suitable for viewing the scenery were already full. If there were no connections, one might not even be able to book it seven days in advance.
The private room on the top floor had been booked for an entire month. Just the deposit alone was three hundred thousand taels.
Moreover, Xu Youtong's youngest son personally vouched for it.
Huo Changsheng originally thought that this was a good deal, but these few days, many dignitaries came to the Blazing Sun Tower, and everyone wanted to go to the Sky Room.
For this, he did not know how much effort he had put in. He used Xu Youtong as a shield many times. Even so, many people were extremely unhappy.
Huo Changsheng was now somewhat regretful. It was not worth it to offend so many people for a sum of money. But the other party not only gave a generous deposit, but also had Xu Youtong's family as a guarantor. No matter how much he regretted it, he did not dare to go back on his word.
He could only grit his teeth, withstand the pressure, and politely refuse the other guests.
The opening ceremony, where all the heroes of the world gathered here, was supposed to be a rare event in the human race. But Huo Changsheng could feel the undercurrent surging, and the Flame City was filled with an uneasy pressure.
As a slick businessman, Huo Changsheng felt very uneasy. These two days, he became even more cautious, personally overseeing the Blazing Sun Tower every day, afraid that something would go wrong.
The drum for the third night watch had already sounded, and the new moon had already set in the night sky.
Huo Zhangsheng stood on the balcony of the third floor, listening to the songs, music, and noise echoing throughout the building. A relaxed smile appeared on his face.
Right now was the busiest time in the Blazing Sun Building, but the guests who were supposed to come had already arrived. It was unlikely that any important guests would suddenly come over.
After enduring for another two hours and seeing off the guests on the sixth floor, he could rest in peace.
A green-clothed waiter suddenly ran over and said anxiously, "Shopkeeper, there are a few guests who insist on using the private room on the seventh floor."
"You've been a greeter for so many years. Why are you so impatient? What's the rush?"
Huo Zhangsheng reprimanded with some dissatisfaction, "How many times have I told you? You must be calm and magnanimous. Do not panic when the sky collapses and the earth collapses."
The shop assistant was so anxious that his face was full of sweat. "But this time is different."

"Isn't that right? Even if His Majesty comes personally, you can't panic."
Huo Changsheng nodded. "In our line of work, we have to bow and scrape, but we can't panic. Otherwise, we won't be able to do anything."
He paused for a while, then said slowly, "Tell me, what's up with those guests?"
After getting permission, the waiter said eagerly, "There are three guests, one man and two women. They insist on going to the seventh floor …"
"Who are they?"
Huo Changsheng had seen many rude and unreasonable guests, so he didn't find their request unusual. But how to deal with them depended on their background.
The waiter shook his head. "I've never seen them, but I think …"
He hesitated for a while, then said uncertainly, "The red-clothed man seems to be … Sect Master Gao …"
Gao Zhengyang was famous, and everyone knew him. There were also many people who had seen his water mirror. Gao Zhengyang's appearance was usually covered in golden armor and a blood-red cape. He was extremely domineering.
However, the number of people who had actually seen him were too few.
Although the waiter had seen many high-ranking officials, he couldn't come in contact with Gao Zhengyang. Based on his many years of experience, he felt that the red-clothed man had a profound aura, and his words had an inviolable power.
Hearing the other party's request, the waiter didn't dare to refuse, so he hurried to find Huo Changsheng.
"Gao … Sect Master …"
Huo Changsheng's square face twitched, and he repeated with a trembling voice.
He quickly came to his senses. It was useless to ask the waiter about this. He hurried down the stairs. Because he was too anxious, he missed a step. If he hadn't reacted fast enough to grab the handrail, he would have rolled down the stairs.
Huo Changsheng had long forgotten about being unfazed even if the sky collapsed. He didn't even take a breath, and flew to the hall on the first floor.
Huo Changsheng saw the red-clothed man from afar. Under the bright lights, the man's red clothes were dazzling, and rippling like water.
"It's over. It's really Gao Zhengyang!"
Huo Changsheng felt as if he had fallen into a ten-thousand-year ice cave. He felt cold from the inside out, and his brain seemed to be frozen.
For a moment, he lost the ability to think.
Huo Changsheng hadn't seen Gao Zhengyang before, but he was familiar with the high-ranking officials of the empire. He had also seen Gao Zhengyang's water mirror image on a few occasions.
Moreover, his clothes and appearance could be imitated. But Gao Zhengyang's domineering aura, which looked down on the world, was like the sun in the nine heavens. It was magnificent, and people didn't dare to look at it directly.
Huo Changsheng was stunned for a while before he barely recovered.
The original Fire Nation's royal family was almost wiped out because they provoked Gao Zhengyang. Because of this, the Fire Nation was in chaos, and hundreds of millions of people died.
This deep and painful lesson made the majority of the Fire Nation hate Gao Zhengyang. At the same time, they were in awe of him.
Thinking of this, Huo Changsheng hurriedly turned around and ordered, "Go, go to the seventh floor and tell them to leave. Find a place for Sect Leader Gao! "
Before the shop assistant could reply, Gao Zhengyang had already walked over with Yue Qingxue and her sister. He said, "You're the shopkeeper, right? Let's go to the seventh floor."
Huo Changsheng wanted to explain that there were people on the seventh floor, and at least give them some time to find a place. But when Gao Zhengyang glanced at him, his soul almost flew out of his body, and he didn't dare to say anything.
He hurriedly bowed and led the way in front, his head almost touching the ground.
The seventh floor was a closed design, and there was a wooden door at the top of the stairs.
Originally, there were two shop assistants standing guard here 24 hours a day, waiting for orders. At the same time, it was to prevent others from barging in.
But with Huo Changsheng personally leading the way, the two shop assistants didn't dare to say anything and obediently moved to the side.
Huo Changsheng also didn't dare to order the shop assistants around. He ran up and knocked on the door. "Open the door."
The guard's displeased voice came from the other side of the door. "What are you doing? Can you just knock on this door?"
The guard opened the door as he spoke, and when he saw it was Huo Changsheng, he became even angrier. "Shopkeeper, what are you doing? Can you bear the consequences if you disturb the people inside?!"
Huo Changsheng said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I have to take back the room. Please leave quickly."
The guard's face darkened, and his hand was already holding onto the hilt of his saber. He wanted nothing more than to cut Huo Changsheng down. He thought for a moment, then suppressed his anger and said, "Shopkeeper, are you crazy? This room is ours, and it doesn't matter who comes. "
He paused for a moment, then advised, "You can't afford to offend the important people inside. Leave now, and I'll pretend nothing happened."
"You sure talk big …"
Gao Zhengyang walked over and said, "I'm a little curious, what kind of important people are living inside!"
The guard felt that Gao Zhengyang's tone wasn't friendly, and he flew into a rage. Just as he was about to lash out, the blood-red Gao Zhengyang entered his sight.
