Chapter 21 The Sect Master and Her Husband Actually Sleep in Separate Rooms!

But what kind of strength did this person have to be able to shatter their meticulously crafted arrows…

And the two people he was protecting behind him looked too graceful and extraordinary to be ordinary people. How powerful were their cultivation levels?

“W-who are you!”

The few people suppressed their fear and came forward.

“So they’re just a bunch of Attainment realm cultivators. Hmph.”

Xu Yi’s disdainful gaze swept across them before he turned around and respectfully asked Ji Rui for instructions.

“Sect master, how should I deal with these people?”

Ji Rui could not be bothered with them. Given her strength, they were as insignificant as ants to her and could not possibly pose a threat.

“Let’s go.”

She did not even look at the people who were trembling from fright and walked straight into the city with Chu Feng following closely behind her.

Seeing this, Xu Yi threw a warning look at the bunch of people and immediately followed her.

Nothing else happened along the way. Xu Yi asked around for the location of the largest inn in the entire Chidong City and he took the initiative to lead the way for the two of them.

Very soon, they arrived at the Donglai Inn, the largest inn in Chidong City.

Chu Feng sized it up and noted that although this inn was decorated magnificently, it was still far inferior to the palace of the Dual Polarity Sect.

The waiter’s eyes lit up when he saw them.

“Esteemed guests, please come in quickly. We serve good tea inside, please come in and rest for a while after a long journey.”

From the way Chu Feng and the rest were dressed, it was obvious that they were not locals and were either rich or noble people.

Given their audacious dressing and behavior, if they did not have any strength to back them up, they would have been robbed clean by the passing bandits before they even entered Chidong City.

Moreover, even though they were guests who had traveled a long way, they had no dirt on them at all. It was obvious that these guests were very particular about their daily lives and were very generous.

The waiter of the Donglai Inn greeted them warmly.

Xu Yi took out a few golden leaves and placed them on the waiter’s hand.

He instructed, “Serve us the best wine and the signature dishes of your inn and also prepare two superior rooms for us.”

When the waiter saw the quality of the golden leaves in his hand, the smile on his face became even brighter.

“Alright! Leave the matter to me.”

Unexpectedly, Ji Rui interrupted them. “No, prepare three superior rooms.”

At that moment, Xu Yi took a long hard look at Chu Feng and hesitated.

Chu Feng rubbed his nose awkwardly.

He remembered that he had not made her angry along the way, right?

Why do we have to sleep in separate rooms?

Could it be that she was too lazy to even pretend since they were outside? Chu Feng looked at Ji Rui resentfully.

Ji Rui did not seem to understand Chu Feng’s reaction.

Chu Feng sighed and said, “There’s no need. Waiter, just prepare two rooms. This is my wife, so we naturally have to sleep in the same room. She’s just throwing a tantrum.”

He searched his pockets and found a silver ingot, and immediately threw it at the waiter.

When he said the words “throwing a tantrum”, Chu Feng deliberately emphasized them.

Ji Rui immediately remembered that she and Chu Feng were not alone. If Xu Yi knew that they were sleeping in separate rooms, it would definitely lead to gossip.

Once they completed the mission and returned to the Dual Polarity Sect, it would be difficult to explain to her father if the news were to spread…

Fortunately, the waiter at the Donglai Inn was good at reading people. Seeing Ji Rui’s strange expression, he immediately bowed and said, “Miss, our inn indeed only has two superior rooms left. We seek your understanding!”

Ji Rui nodded and signaled Xu Yi with her eyes. The latter immediately understood.

“Then do as the young master says. Serve the good wine and dishes and prepare two rooms for us.”

As soon as Xu Yi finished speaking, the waiter immediately led the three of them to their seats and poured out a few cups of hot tea.

“Please wait a moment, the food will be here soon!”

Not long after Xu Yi entered, he took the initiative to bring Ji Rui and Chu Feng’s luggage to the guest room on the third floor. He only returned to his seat after settling the matter.

At the same moment, the waiter brought over a few plates of delicious dishes and two jars of wine.

Ji Rui and Chu Feng happened to be seated by the window on the second floor. Xu Yi stood respectfully behind the two of them and looked through the window from time to time to size up the pedestrians on the street.

The waiter said happily, “Dear guests, all the food has been served. I’ll take my leave first. Feel free to call me if you need anything!”

Chu Feng also smiled and took out a piece of silver from his pocket.

“We don’t need you for the moment. You may leave.”

The waiter hurriedly took the piece of silver, weighed it in his hands and went downstairs with a smile.

Chidong City was originally a small city that developed due to its proximity to and reliance on the Purgatory Sea. There were no soldiers or sects controlling the refugees here at all. Everything depended on the size of one’s fists and the people here were very tough.

When Chu Feng was having lunch, he could hear the sounds of people playing drinking games and urging one another to drink. From time to time, there would be a few foul words mixed in, making it difficult for him to ignore them.

For some reason, that group of people suddenly fell silent.

He could feel that everyone’s gaze was focused on their seats where Ji Rui was elegantly eating opposite him. “Hey, this woman is so beautiful. We’ve never seen her before.”

“Hehe, I’ve noticed her from the moment she entered. Looking at the clothes, she should be a pampered young lady.”

The person who last spoke was a burly man with a big head. His eyes were bright but shady and from his stance, it seemed like he had some cultivation. Under the instigation of a few drunkards beside him, he walked towards Ji Rui with a glass of wine.

“Hehe, I’m the local big shot in Chidong City. My name is Cao Bao and I’m quite famous around this area. However, Miss, you look unfamiliar to me?”

As he spoke, he thrust the wine glass in his hand forward.

Chu Feng looked at him with a half smile and his heart filled with amazement. He did not expect that this trip would turn out to be not boring. Everyone in the Dual Polarity Sect avoided Ji Rui when they saw her, but there was actually someone in this remote village who dared to take liberties with her!

He took a sip of the wine in his glass and prepared himself for a good show.

Ji Rui did not even look up as she continued eating

The burly man felt a little embarrassed, but he was drawn to Ji Rui’s looks and secretly desired her so he was unwilling to just leave.

Xu Yi looked coldly at this daring heckler and warned him, “Don’t disturb our young lady. Otherwise, on this day next year, it will be the time for your mother to go pay her respects.”

It was true that there were many experts around the Purgatory Sea, but in this Donglai Inn, the person with the highest cultivation had only reached the fifth-grade Innate realm. Even Chu Feng could do whatever he wanted to them.

Xu Yi did not take them seriously at all.
