Chapter 330 - Eliminating Evil for the People (6)

“Freak, Qing Jue said people from the city lord’s mansion are outside. I’m going out to take a look,” Leng Ruoxue whispered.

“I’ll go out with you,” Freak said. He was worried about Xue’er going out alone.

“No need. Stay here. I’ll be back after taking a look.” Leng Ruoxue flashed out of the bracelet.

As soon as Leng Ruoxue exited the Heaven and Earth Bracelet and entered the guest room, she heard an argument outside the door.

Outside the room, the waiter stopped the steward from the city lord’s mansion who came to search.

The waiter mustered his courage and explained, “I’m sorry, Steward Zhu. It’s not that I don’t want to let you go in, but the guests said that no one is allowed to disturb them since they are in seclusion.”

“Seclusion? Is their seclusion more important, or my young lady’s whereabouts more important? Can’t you tell which is more important?” Steward Zhu said loudly with his head raised arrogantly.

“Of course the whereabouts of the city lord’s daughter is important. But to be honest, Steward Zhu, the guests in this room are not to be trifled with. If you really offend the guests, I’m afraid… even the city lord won’t be able to save you,” the waiter said mysteriously.

“Who is in the room? Where did these big shots come from?” Steward Zhu was a little hesitant when he heard what the waiter said because he was sure that a lowly waiter wouldn’t dare to lie to him. After all, he was the city lord’s trusted aide, so he probed.

“How would this little one dare to ask? I’m not tired of living. But Steward Zhu, the guests in this room don’t have good tempers! Therefore, I advise you not to barge in forcefully. You probably can’t bear the consequences if you interrupt the guests’ seclusion. Steward Zhu, these are my heartfelt words. I’m doing this for your own good,” the waiter said with a sincere expression.

“But the city lord will blame me if I don’t go in to search.” Steward Zhu hesitated. Should he enter or not? What if the people in the room were really people he couldn’t afford to offend? Then he would be the unlucky one. The city lord wouldn’t offend these big shots to protect him!

“Steward Zhu, how would the city lord know if you don’t tell him?” the waiter whispered.

“But I brought my subordinates with me,” Steward Zhu said with a troubled expression. What he implied was that he was afraid that someone would betray him.

“Steward Zhu, besides the city lord, you have the most authority in the city lord’s mansion. They definitely won’t dare to betray you,” the waiter said flatteringly.

“That’s true, but I can’t let my brothers return empty-handed!” Steward Zhu’s face was full of difficulties.

“Hehe, that makes sense,” the waiter said with a smile. Then he secretly stuffed a purple gold coin into Steward Zhu’s hands, but he couldn’t help cursing in his heart, Vampire!

Steward Zhu looked at the purple gold coin in his hand. Uh! It’s a little too little, but it’s still something!

“In that case, we won’t disturb their cultivation for now. We’ll confirm with them again when they come out of seclusion,” Steward Zhu said in a seemingly reasonable manner. After speaking, he led his subordinates and left the second floor of the inn in a grandiose manner.

“Pfft! A group of vampires!” The waiter standing there couldn’t help cursing after Steward Zhu and his group left.

“You, come in for a bit,” Leng Ruoxue said from the room.

“Yes.” The waiter knocked on the door politely and entered.

“Miss, how may I help you?” the waiter asked respectfully after entering the room.

“Were those people from the city lord’s mansion?” Leng Ruoxue asked even though she already knew.

“Yes, the leader is Steward Zhu from the city lord’s mansion,” the waiter explained.

“What are they doing here?” Leng Ruoxue pretended to be confused.

“They said they came here to look for the city lord’s daughter. I heard that the city lord’s daughter chased after a man,” the waiter said honestly.

“This city lord’s daughter is quite open-minded,” Leng Ruoxue said mockingly. This continent was also a world where the strong were respected, but there were still many restrictions on women. So Zhu Mudan’s behavior was absolutely shocking.

“Uh, yes. She often does things that infuriate both humans and gods just because she’s an artificer,” the waiter said disdainfully.

“Thank you for what you did just now. We really don’t like being disturbed.” Leng Ruoxue said very politely and handed the waiter a tip of ten purple coins.

“Uh, this is too much. I can’t take it,” the waiter said quickly, flattered. He had never encountered such a generous guest!

“You deserve it,” Leng Ruoxue said. She was very satisfied with the waiter’s performance just now.

“Thank you for your reward, Miss.” The waiter accepted the purple gold coins and left the room.

Leng Ruoxue returned to the bracelet and saw Freak pouting and staring at her.

“What’s the matter?” Leng Ruoxue pretended to be stupid.

“Don’t pretend to be stupid. You actually left me alone and went out by yourself. Boohoo…” Freak said aggrievedly as his black eyes welled up with tears. The expression on his face was like that of an abandoned puppy, cute and pitiful.

“Uh, didn’t I only go out for a bit before coming back?” Leng Ruoxue said helplessly.

“Hmph!” Freak snorted and ignored her, but his face clearly said, ‘What do you think you should do? Compensate me.’

“Alas!” Leng Ruoxue sighed. Then she simply hugged Freak’s neck, pulled his head down, and kissed him fiercely on the lips.

“That’s it?” Freak said, very displeased.

“What else?” Leng Ruoxue frowned slightly.

“It is too short, lacking in quality.” Freak pouted with dissatisfaction.

“…”

“It’s not convenient here,” Leng Ruoxue said uncomfortably. Damn Freak, shouldn’t you take a look at where we are? This is Old Zao’s artificing workshop!

“Old Zao is busy and has no time to care about us,” Freak said, his face full of expectation.

“That won’t do either. I’ll owe you first!” Leng Ruoxue said, leaving no room for negotiation.

“You can owe me, but I am going to charge interest.” Freak smiled very proudly.
