Chapter 359: Provocation (2)

“Ah! No way!” The innkeeper thought he had heard wrong. There were actually representatives from Windless City’s Mystic Association participating in the competition. Moreover, how could there be such ugly mystics? It was too unbelievable!

“Do you think I would lie to you?” Lan Ming glared at him angrily. Hmph! These bastards who judge others by their appearance will suffer if they anger that little girl. He couldn’t help gloating at the thought!

“No, no. Why would President Lan lie to me!” the innkeeper hurriedly said. To be honest, he really didn’t think very highly of the ugly mystics Lan Ming brought.

“Then quickly arrange rooms for us!” Lan Ming said impatiently. Hmph! These snobbish fellows will be taught a lesson sooner or later.

“President Lan, there are only two rooms left,” the innkeeper said with a troubled expression.

“How is that possible? Shouldn’t you reserve rooms for the major association branches?” Lan Ming said angrily. The mystic inn of Nightless City would reserve rooms for the major association branches in every official competition of the Mystic Association. This was the usual practice.

“There were some at first, but President Zhou brought too many mystics. There weren’t enough rooms reserved for them, so… so…” the innkeeper stammered, his eyes a little evasive…

“So you gave our rooms to them?” Lan Ming was angry. This is too much!

“President Lan, I didn’t have a choice either! I can’t afford to offend President Zhou. Moreover, it was President Zhou who said that no one from your branch would participate in the competition. That’s why I gave him the rooms,” the innkeeper hastily explained. Boohoo… The Mystic Association of Windless City had forfeited the previous competition, so he didn’t expect them to send people this time!

“Do you mean that you can afford to offend me, but you can’t afford to offend President Zhou?” Lan Ming narrowed his eyes in displeasure.

“No… no, that’s not what I mean. We can’t afford to offend either of you!” The innkeeper was so anxious that he was about to cry. Boohoo… Could he pretend to faint?!

“Old Lan, forget it. Why fuss over it with a servant? Two rooms are enough,” Leng Ruoxue said calmly.

“That’s true. It’s beneath my status to fuss over something with a servant.” Lan Ming smiled elegantly.

“Bring us to our rooms quickly!” Leng Ruoxue ordered.

“Yes, please follow me,” the innkeeper said cautiously. Boohoo… Why was this ugly woman’s aura more terrifying than President Lan’s?

“Sirs and Madam, these are the two rooms.” The innkeeper led Leng Ruoxue and the others to the third floor and pointed at the two innermost rooms.

“Old Lan, we want to cultivate. You can have a room to yourself!” Leng Ruoxue casually pushed open a door and walked in directly. Freak and the others followed closely behind.

“If there’s nothing important, don’t disturb us,” Lan Ming said coldly to the innkeeper after seeing Leng Ruoxue and the others enter the room. Then he pushed open the door and entered his room.

In Leng Ruoxue and the others’ room…

“Miss, I want to enter the space,” Zheng En said impatiently as soon as Leng Ruoxue entered the room before they could even size up the room.

“Brat Zheng, why are you in such a hurry?” Old Zao was a little speechless. If not for Lan Ming, this brat would probably have stayed inside and refused to come out.

“Let’s go!” Leng Ruoxue brought everyone into the bracelet with a thought.

As soon as Zheng En entered the bracelet, he immediately ran to the medicinal fields. His eyes lit up as he looked at the precious herbs, and he was almost drooling.

“Don’t drop your saliva on my herbs,” the little black dog, who had been guarding the medicinal fields, warned.

“I won’t,” Zheng En quickly promised and sat down beside the medicinal fields like the little black dog.

Leng Ruoxue looked helplessly at the man and dog beside the medicinal fields and shook her head with a chuckle. Since the first time she brought Zheng En here, he hadn’t wanted to go out. Moreover, as long as he stayed in the bracelet, she would definitely be able to find him in the medicinal fields. Alas! What a pill maniac! Zheng En’s obsession with pills and herbs really made her blush with shame!

“Freak, let’s rest early!” Leng Ruoxue turned to Freak.

“Okay.” Freak nodded and pulled Leng Ruoxue into the purple bamboo house.

As for Leng Qingtian and the others, they had long returned to their houses to cultivate mystic skills.

The next morning, Leng Ruoxue brought everyone out of the bracelet.

“Miss.” Zheng En looked at Leng Ruoxue pitifully, his eyes full of pleading. Boohoo… There was a very precious herb that was about to mature today. Such an opportunity was rare to come by in a thousand years…

“We should go. There will be more chances in the future,” Leng Ruoxue coaxed helplessly as two drops of cold sweat dripped down her forehead. Alas! She really couldn’t get used to being looked at by a tall, burly, and resolute man with such a pitiful gaze.

Standing beside Leng Ruoxue, Freak rapped Zheng En on the head and roared with displeasure, “You’re not allowed to learn from me!” Damn it. He actually wants to pretend to be pitiful like me. Hmph! Not a chance! My Xue’er won’t pity other men!

“I didn’t,” Zheng En said aggrievedly with tears in his eyes. Boohoo… Miss’s man is so fierce!

“Go out. Don’t make Lan Ming wait anxiously.” Leng Ruoxue suppressed her smile. Hehe, Freak is cuter when he’s pretending to be pitiful.

Leng Ruoxue and the others exited the room and happened to see Lan Ming pacing around in the corridor.

“Old Lan, what’s wrong?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously. Why was Lan Ming like an ant on a hot pan?

“Lass, you came out at the right time. I want to tell you about President Zhou…” Lan Ming was about to say something when Leng Ruoxue interrupted him.

“Old Lan, I’m not interested in unimportant people,” Leng Ruoxue said without much interest.

“Lass, listen to me!” Lan Ming sighed helplessly.

“Alright, tell me!” Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly.
