101: Huh? That's it?

However, such minor characters didn't catch his eye, and he didn't pay much attention after the initial information gathering.

Luan Ji wasn't sure if the people from the Zhao Dynasty were still there.

"Thank you, Brother Luan, for the information. I'll take my leave now."

"If you need help in the future, you can always find me."

Having received the information he wanted, Xu Xi didn't want to linger for a moment.

Standing with these four brothers, although he only spoke with Luan Ji, the synchronized gazes of the other three continuously added pressure on Xu Xi.

Every minute he stayed increased the possibility of exposure.

"Leaving already? Aren't you staying to play?"

"Brother Yi, you've become much less interesting lately."

Seeing Xu Xi's hasty departure, Luan Ji was slightly displeased.

But under the obstruction of the other three, he didn't say anything. What right did Luan Ji have to interfere with Xu Xi's personal freedom?

It was just a relationship of casual friends; saying too much would only affect their interests.

After Xu Xi and his companions left smoothly, inside the room, the Luan Ying Four Sons changed their expressions, looking extremely strange.

"Something's not right, Luan Ji, you must have noticed it, right?"

"Yi Zhusheng's personality has changed drastically; at least compared to before, he's like a completely different person."

"According to his usual habits, he should have already called for maids to have fun with us by now."

The speaker was Luan Xiu. In their daily interactions, Luan Xiu was always the most observant.

"Indeed, Yi Zhusheng seems like a changed man. If it weren't for that familiar aura, I'd even suspect someone was impersonating him."

"Perhaps he's just tired of it all, and doesn't feel like it these past few days."

"Didn't they say he went to the Acacia Sect first? Those flirtatious women have many tricks, and we've also received female slaves from the Acacia Sect; you all had a great time playing with them, too."

Rubbing his chin, Luan Ji didn't forget to reply while playing with a group of maids. With his swaying movements, he had already completed one 'battle,' a 'seconds-man'... Of course, each 'battle' was accompanied by the maid's weakness, as if all her vitality had been absorbed by Luan Ji.

The Acacia Sect cultivates Yang to nourish Yin, while the Xuanyin Sect cultivates Yin to nourish Yang!

"Just keep an eye on the Juefeng Secret Realm. Our main plan is still to help the Holy Child complete his mission and have that cauldron complete the ritual within the secret realm."

"It's also strange that my Xuanyin Sect actually has a legacy within the Juefeng Secret Realm."

A deep, rumbling voice came, and the speaker was Luan Cheng, who had been silent all along. His voice was in stark contrast to his handsome appearance; no one would associate such a voice with that face.

In his words, he also revealed the purpose of this trip: the Xuanyin Sect was playing a big game.

"Indeed, it doesn't matter to us what Yi Zhusheng is like; he's just a pawn."

Nodding, Luan Ji agreed wholeheartedly after hearing Luan Cheng's words.

However, looking to the side, Luan Ji's originally calm expression suddenly became agitated.

"Damn it!"

"Luan Chuan, slow down! If you play her to death, what will I play with?"

Another battle for people ensued. The Xuanyin Sect's poor reputation was not without reason.

If it weren't for their powerful strength, they would have been annihilated by rival forces long ago... "Zhe Xian Residence, proclaiming itself as an immortal abode, the facade is quite impressive."

Leaving the place where Luan Ji and his group were, Xu Xi, enduring the strange gazes of Xie Qingzhou and Roufu, immediately arrived at his destination.

Especially Roufu, her favorability almost dropped to 0. If Xu Xi hadn't been clever enough to buy some snacks from the roadside, her favorability might have already broken into negative numbers.

"I should have just let Roufu wait outside..."

Xu Xi glanced at Roufu; she was still upset. However, her high favorability of 60 points made Xu Xi feel very reassured.

Roufu was still too easy to win over; a few candied hawthorns were enough to bribe her.

"Brother Xie, let's hurry up and find the Prime Minister's people as soon as possible."

Standing in front of the Zhe Xian Residence, having wasted a lot of time, Xu Xi didn't want to wait any longer. He turned and instructed Xie Qingzhou a few words, then walked inside.

"Hey, hey, hey~"

"You guys, although my Zhe Xian Residence is a lodging, you aren't our guests, are you? Hurry up and leave, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

However, Xu Xi hadn't walked far before he was immediately stopped by a hotel attendant, who stared at Xu Xi with an unfriendly gaze.

Fortunately, the attendant also knew the current situation in Zi Yuan City, where prodigies gathered. A slight misstep could offend a disciple from some family, which was why he didn't immediately resort to violence.

However, Xu Xi had anticipated this situation and didn't make a fuss. He simply threw out a storage bag filled with spirit stones.

With a monetary offensive launched, Xu Xi didn't believe anyone could resist the power of 'money-ability'.

"Don't you think..."

Taking the storage bag, the attendant, who had seen some of the world, didn't think Xu Xi could produce many spirit stones. However, when his spiritual power swept over and he saw the spirit stones inside the storage bag, the attendant immediately held his breath, his eyes revealing a greedy glint.

"Please come in, honored sir~"

His expression immediately changed; the attendant was indeed intimidated by Xu Xi's wealth.

A full ten thousand low-grade spirit stones! If he had to earn that himself, it would kill him!

"Tell me which room the people from the Zhao Dynasty are staying in."

Immediately asking the question he wanted to ask, Xu Xi believed that anything that could be done with spirit stones was no big deal!

Ah, with money~ it's just play~

"The Zhao Dynasty? Sky Room No. 3. Sir, go upstairs all the way to the top floor and you'll see it."

The attendant immediately gave Xu Xi the answer he wanted, crisp and clean, completely immersed in the joy of the spirit stones and unable to extricate himself.

"Let's go. When we meet, act immediately, don't hesitate."

Hearing this, Xu Xi didn't procrastinate either, walking quickly upstairs, while also urging Xie Qingzhou to be nimble.

"Understood."

"Roufu, hold onto your junior brother. I won't be able to look after him during the fight."

Nodding quickly in response, Xie Qingzhou also knew that a battle was about to begin. He handed Ye Gou, who was in his arms, to Roufu, and took out his jade flute, ready to play at any moment.

Pressing on step by step, Xu Xi quickly reached Sky Room No. 3.

It was completely silent, and Xu Xi stopped, taking out his sharp blade.

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open, but what awaited Xu Xi was not the astonished gazes of the Zhao Dynasty A group of people, but equally cold attacks.

"?"

"Was I set up?"

Reacting quickly, Xu Xi moved swiftly, lightning surging, shattering the arrow aimed at his face. His eyes were cold as he looked at the people from the Zhao Dynasty who had been waiting there.

"Your reaction isn't slow, but that's what makes it fun for me! Everyone, come out, don't hide, and give our 'guests' a good reception!"

Emphasizing the last two words, only one person stood in the room, holding a bow. He then shouted loudly, and in the inn's corridor, a group of people surrounded Xu Xi.
