However, the innkeeper and the waiter did not reveal any dissatisfaction. Although they cursed in their hearts, their faces were full of smiles as they lifted their heads to look at the entrance.
Soon after, a burly man stepped through the door. Behind him were a few smiling middle-aged men. This burly man was called Zhou Kuang, and he was a Saint level expert. Like his name, he was incomparably arrogant. Because he often led his subordinates into the icy plains to hunt exotic beasts for a living, he was quite famous in this gathering point.
However, the innkeeper was very vexed by his appearance. Every time Zhou Kuang came to the gathering point, he would not pay. This gave the innkeeper a headache. However, because the other party was a Saint level expert, the innkeeper could only grit his teeth and bear with it. He did not dare to voice his opinion.
"Aiyo, Lord Zhou, I'm really sorry today. The inn is already full. I thought you would only return in a few days, so I did not intend to reserve a room for you today. Look, I have miscalculated." The innkeeper smiled as he walked forward. He did not dare to offend this lord. The latter was a Saint level expert, and he could kill him with a single finger.
"Yes, what did you say?"
When Zhou Kuang heard the innkeeper's words, his eyes widened. He glared at the innkeeper and slammed the table. His voice was as loud as a bell as he angrily shouted: "You damned fatty, I have already arrived and you dare to tell me that there are no rooms?"
"Lord Zhou, please calm down." The innkeeper's face turned frightened. He was afraid that Zhou Kuang would tear down his inn in anger. Thus, he hurriedly apologized and said all sorts of nice words.
"Humph, I think you don't want to stay here anymore." Although the shopkeeper was speaking in a low voice, Kuang Zhou did not buy it. He directly pulled the shopkeeper over and grabbed him by the neck. "I don't care what you do. Give me five rooms, or I'll kill you. Do you believe me?" Kuang Zhou said viciously.
The shopkeeper's fat body was easily lifted by Zhou Kuang's neck. The former's face quickly turned red and he felt as though he was unable to breathe. His entire body was lifted into the air as he continued to struggle.
"Lord Zhou, please calm down. It's not that the shopkeeper doesn't want to make arrangements for you, but the guest staying here today is …" At this moment, the waiter came forward and said. It could be seen that he was also very frightened, even his legs were trembling.
"Hmm, why don't you tell me who's living there? I want to see who's so famous that they don't even put me in their eyes." When Zhou Kuang heard the waiter's words, his expression immediately turned even more furious. He directly flung away the shopkeeper in his hand and glared at the waiter.
"That's right. Speak. Let's see who it is. How could they not give face to our boss?"
"That's right. You should know that our boss is a Saint-level powerhouse. He can crush you to death with one finger."
At this time, the middle-aged men behind Zhou Kuang also clamored, looking as if they were about to cause trouble.
"The academy's patrol team." The waiter lightly spat out these few words, but it was like a bolt from the blue that resounded in the ears of Zhou Kuang and the others. Even Zhou Kuang directly took a step back.
The academy's patrol team was a small team of Saint-level experts led by a Half-step Great Emperor expert. They constantly roamed the continent. No one knew what their goal was, but no one dared to provoke them. Think about it, it was a group of Saint-level experts led by a Half-step Great Emperor.
After hearing this, Zhou Kuang's expression inexplicably changed. It seemed like he was not as arrogant as before. Although he was a Saint-level expert, he did not dare to offend the academy. Let alone a Saint-level expert, even if a peak Saint-level expert came, he would not be afraid.
When the waiter saw Zhou Kuang's expression, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to help the shopkeeper up. The poor shopkeeper had almost suffocated just now, and he was still looking at Zhou Kuang in shock.
"Is what he said true? Is it really the academy's patrol team?" Zhou Kuang asked with a gloomy expression.
The shopkeeper quickly nodded. The waiter did not say anything. Today, the people who stayed in the inn had already stated their identity. They were all experts from the academy's patrol team. However, they were not as arrogant as Zhou Kuang, they still paid when they should.
Zhou Kuang took in a deep breath. All he could do was glare at the shopkeeper. He did not dare to get angry at those people from the academy and ask them to scram. Instead, he prepared to leave with his men in a crestfallen manner.
"Oh, shopkeeper, I haven't seen you for a few years. Business has become better."
However, at this moment, a faint laughter sounded from outside the door. When the shopkeeper and the waiter heard this voice, both of them were stunned, as if they had sunk into a petrified state. They had heard this voice eight years ago.
It's him. He's back.
The shopkeeper and the waiter looked at each other with an excited expression. Evidently, they did not expect this person to appear again. Immediately, they ignored Zhou Kuang's presence and hurriedly walked to the door. They saw a plainly dressed Feng Hao walking in with a smile.
"Sir, you're back."
"Come, come. Sir, please come in. I'll brew some tea for you."
The shopkeeper and the waiter were excited and extremely courteous. This was a big shot in the academy. Not to mention, he had helped them eight years ago. Naturally, they did not dare to slight him.
Feng Hao had just entered, so he had no idea what had just happened. When he saw Zhou Kuang, he was slightly stunned. He was surprised that Zhou Kuang was a Saint-level expert, but it was just a surprise. He didn't look at Zhou Kuang.
This expression fell into Zhou Kuang's eyes and immediately caused his expression to turn ashen. He could not help but clench his fists tightly.
"I say, shopkeeper, do you still have rooms today? I've been rushing for a long time. I'm about to die of exhaustion." Feng Hao said with a smile. The shopkeeper and the waiter were ordinary people. Since they were so polite to him, he was naturally easy to talk to.
"Yes, there is, there definitely is. Waiter, go tidy up my room and prepare hot water." Because of his excitement, the innkeeper's voice was a little louder, and everyone in the inn could hear him.
Feng Hao laughed. He thought that the shopkeeper was just being polite. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Just prepare an ordinary room for me."
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly. However, at this time, Zhou Kuang could not stand it anymore. This shopkeeper had just told him that there were no rooms. Yet, he turned around and told others that there were rooms. He was clearly looking down on Zhou Kuang.
