When she thought of going to the Lan Family to see the Old Madame, she was very happy. It had been a long time since she last saw the Old Madame.
"Boss, here are ten taels of gold. Please give us two rooms." Xiao Man took out the taels of gold and handed them to the counter.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The owner responded enthusiastically, then took out two keys to the superior rooms and handed them over. He sighed and said, "Sir, you guys came just in time. There are only two superior rooms left. Recently, many people have come to Martial Yang City. They all look like they are participating in the Hegemony Competition. Are you guys the same?"
Xiao Yang was a little surprised and asked suspiciously, "So what if I am? So what if I am not? "
The boss laughed awkwardly and said, "Recently, many training places have sprung up in Martial Yang City. They are proficient in the strategy of the Hegemony Tournament. They also have first-class training places. If you need them, I can recommend a few of them to you. This is an introduction sheet. If you don't mind, you can take a look."
Businessmen were all smart people. They prioritized profit. How could being an inn owner make a meteoric rise? Of course, from time to time, they had to earn some money.
For example, there was a recommendation fee for recommending customers to other training places.
Since he had nothing to do, the inn owner did not mind doing more business.
Xiao Man took the introduction sheet, glanced at it, and then handed it to Xiao Yang.
"If I need it, I will ask you."
Xiao Yang said lightly.
It was good to know more as a newcomer.
At this moment, a woman rushed in from the door. She came to the side of the counter and slammed her palm on the counter. She said rudely, "Boss, I want a first-class room."
The inn owner looked embarrassed and explained, "Sir, I am sorry. The two remaining superior rooms have been rented out."
Hmm?
The coquettish woman couldn't help but frown. Her gaze suspiciously fell on Xiao Yang and Xiao Man. Seeing that the two of them were very ordinary, she immediately asked in disdain, "You two want two first-class rooms?"
Xiao Man did not like the woman's arrogant attitude. She snorted and said, "So what?"
"That makes things much easier." The coquettish woman took out more than a hundred taels of gold and slammed it on the counter. "Boss, I'll pay double the rent. You can just take the room back from them."
The innkeeper was even more embarrassed. Adhering to the principles of credibility and morality, he refused, "Sir, unless the guest voluntarily checks out, we cannot forcibly take it back."
Humph!
This made Lan Jiaoye very displeased. She was a dignified member of the Lan Family. Coming to such a vulgar place was already giving them face. It was fine if the other party didn't flatter her, but he actually rejected her.
Forget it. Since she didn't want to cause trouble and be discovered by her clan, she didn't want to bicker with the innkeeper. Her gaze fell on Xiao Yang, and she said, "You, give me a superior room, and these hundred taels of gold are yours."
Lan Jiaoye's attitude was still high and mighty, giving people a kind of unquestionable tone.
She was not short of money anyway.
She also believed that no one would reject this gold and silver.
Xiao Man was a little angry, and her face was flushed. She felt that the other party was using money to humiliate them. They were not short of money, okay? No matter what, her young master was one of the big shots in Donglin Town.
She didn't even think about it and directly refused, "I'm sorry, we are not short of money. Young master, let's go."
Xiao Yang was expressionless. He turned around and walked up the stairs.
If the other party's tone was weak, Xiao Yang might not necessarily refuse. However, the other party's attitude was so superior that he couldn't stand it.
"All of you, stand still. Didn't you hear what I said?" Lan Jiaoye was even angrier. She felt that she was being bullied. First she was rejected by the innkeeper, and now she was being rejected by an outsider. How could she bear this?
She couldn't help but flip out. No matter what, she had the cultivation of a Martial Master. She could completely crush most people, and she had the qualifications to do whatever she wanted. Not to mention, she had the Lan Family as her backing.
"Oh, isn't this Lan Jiaoye, Seventh Sister Lan?"
Just as Lan Jiaoye was about to explode, a man's sarcastic voice rang out.
The man was wearing an embroidered jade robe. He had a noble aura, but his temperament was very gloomy, as if he was surrounded by ghost energy.
He sat by the window and looked over with a smile that wasn't a smile. He also had the cultivation of a Martial Master.
"The dignified daughter of the Lan Family can't even afford a first-class room in the Pleasant Inn. If this were to spread, wouldn't people laugh at her?"
The corner of Wang Zizhong's mouth curled up into a mocking smile.
In Martial Yang City, the Wang Family and the Lan Family were sworn enemies. They didn't see eye to eye, and this kind of small friction happened frequently.
The innkeeper was shocked. His face was pale without a trace of blood. His body trembled, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He really didn't think that the arrogant girl in front of him was the daughter of the Lan Family, Lan Jiaoye. He even offended her. If he knew her identity earlier, he would've tried to curry favor with her.
He looked at Lan Jiaoye in horror. His legs were shaking. If it weren't for the counter supporting him, he would've collapsed to the ground.
One had to know that as long as the Lan Family said the word, his inn would be wiped out in minutes.
Xiao Mang was also a bit shocked. She looked at Xiao Yang and pondered.
Xiao Yang stood still and looked at Lan Jiaoye suspiciously. If the other party was from the Lan Family, then for the sake of his mother, Lan Xingmeng, he had to give her some face. She might even be his cousin. Although this Lan Jiaoye was a bit arrogant, she still had morals. Otherwise, after suffering such a big loss, she would've already shown her power to the innkeeper and them. There was no need to doubt the power of the Lan Family in Martial Yang City.
"Wang Zizhong, if you don't speak, no one will think you're a mute." Lan Jiaoye angrily reprimanded. Her face was red as she snorted, "Are you blind? My hundred gold taels aren't money? I just don't want to bully them. I'm not like you, taking whatever you like. Disgusting. "
Because the Wang Family and the Lan Family were deeply entangled with each other and had a long history of grievances, most of the younger generation knew each other. They had even sparred before.
Wang Zizhong didn't care. He said in a strange tone, "Lan Jiaoye, if you can't afford a room, then come, I'll let you have a room. I don't mind sharing a room with you."
He had an expression that said he wasn't afraid of causing trouble. He didn't put Lan Jiaoye in his eyes. Perhaps other people would be afraid of Lan Jiaoye's cultivation and background, but Wang Zizhong wasn't inferior to her in any way.
Lan Jiaoye was so angry that her face turned red. She was always reserved, but she couldn't tolerate the other party teasing her reputation. She immediately took out a whip, circulated her cultivation, and lashed out.
