Chapter 1196: Chapter 574: The Powerful Wingless Saintess!_2 Chapter 1196: Chapter 574: The Powerful Wingless Saintess!_2 Otherwise, Qixing probably wouldnât have handed over the use of this Special-grade Pollutant to his Disciple Fang Mu!
Shu Liangjun calmed his emotions and didnât ask Fang Mu about the situation with the Sacred Radiance Bone Fragment.
Shu Liangjun was very clear that by doing so, he might seem like he was trying to probe into Qixingâs research results, which could easily lead to misunderstandings.
âLittle Wood, do you have any plans to leave this place?â
âI suggest we leave now to avoid getting caught up in this Whirlpool and affecting our plans!â
Upon hearing this, Fang Mu shook his head.
âThis trivial matter wonât affect our plans.â
âI have already arranged to meet Uncle Zhang at Wanâan Hotel. He should be here soon enough.â
âItâs also time for the owner of Wanâan Hotel to give me an explanation!â
As Fang Mu spoke, the rain turned into a stream and closed the door.
Not long after Fang Muâs door closed, the doors of the other rooms on the seventh floor were opened in succession.
The customers came out to understand what was happening.
Regardless, these guests certainly wouldnât stay at Wanâan Hotel tonight; who knew if conflicts might arise again and get them involved.
Gao Zenghao had guessed that after such a commotion from Tian Nao Nao, all the guests in the top-tier rooms on the seventh floor would come to him for a refund.
Before the seventh-floor guests started checking out, Wanâan Hotel had already refunded nearly twenty rooms.
With every room refunded, Gao Zenghaoâs anger surged.
However, regarding Tian Naoâs behavior, Gao Zenghao had no way to intervene.
This humiliation and loss had to be silently borne by Gao Zenghao alone.
Gao Zenghao recognized one of the guests, whom he approached and asked,
âBrother Duan, do you know whatâs going on upstairs?â
âPlease try to understand me, itâs not that Iâm negligent, but itâs Tian Nao, the young master of the Lingdian Familyâhe insists on causing trouble, and I truly canât stop him!â
âIâve troubled your rest. Next time you stay, not only will it be free, but Iâll also give you three meal coupons!â
Aside from wanting to find out what was going on with Tian Nao, Gao Zenghao also hoped to keep some guests from leaving.
To avoid a mass customer loss due to this disturbance.
Duan Zhen was the owner of a Contemplation Hall within Boundless City, with astonishing wealth and the means to spend regularly at Wanâan Hotel.
Duan Zhen had been extremely displeased, inwardly blaming Gao Zenghao.
He had been treating friends in the hotel, entertaining them.
However, the fun was ruined by the noise coming from outside.
Although he couldnât hear exactly what people outside the room were saying, the noise didnât stop for a long time.
His friends had just arrived in Boundless City, and this incident caused Duan Zhen to lose face in front of them.
Yet, after hearing Gao Zenghaoâs explanation, Duan Zhen no longer blamed him.
Instead, he felt somewhat sorry for Gao Zenghao.
This Tian Nao had already caused Wanâan Hotel trouble once, taking over two years for the hotel to recover its former scale.
Just as things were looking up for Wanâan Hotel, Tian Nao came to stir up trouble again.
Was Tian Nao really after the other guests on the seventh floor, or was he after Gao Zenghaoâs downfall!?
Duan Zhen patted Gao Zenghao on the shoulder.
âBrother Gao, I really donât know what to say about your luck!â
A puzzled expression appeared on Duan Zhenâs face as he spoke.
âWhen I came down, the conflict had stopped. Young Master Tian must have already come down early, right?â
âDid you not see Young Master Tian?â
âYou surely donât think I would open the door to watch when Young Master Tian was in a conflict, do you!?â
Duan Zhenâs words made Gao Zenghao startle.
When had Tian Nao come down?
It was possible that Gao Zenghao hadnât noticed if Tian Nao had come down alone, but Tian Nao always had a crowd of people surrounding him wherever he went.
Gao Zenghao was actually waiting for Tian Nao to come down so he could quickly rid the hotel of this pestilence.
Duan Zhen didnât linger for much conversation with Gao Zenghao before leaving.
After another half-hour of waiting with no sign of Tian Nao, Gao Zenghao told the two Attendants beside him,
âYou two accompany me upstairs to check. Remember, donât be too noticeable in front of Young Master Tian, and definitely donât speak out of turn!â
âOtherwise, I canât protect the two of you!â
The two attendants who were picked by Gao Zenghao cursed their luck inwardly.
Such tasks were truly undesirable.
They came to the Wanâan Hotel to make money, not to bear such risks!
Upon reaching the seventh floor, Gao Zenghao felt more and more that something was amiss.
Was the seventh floor always this eerily quiet?
Seeing the door of the Tianxiang Suite tightly shut, with evident damage to it,
Gao Zenghao thought to himself that Tian Nao was most likely inside the room.
It was almost midnight now, surely Tian Nao wasnât planning to have someone stay over tonight?
Gao Zenghao raised his hand and knocked on the door, calling out gently as he did so.
âYoung Master Tian, the spring on the fifth floor has fresh water replenished, would you like to soak in the hot spring and then have the chef prepare some additional food for you and your people?â
Gao Zenghao had barely knocked twice when the door was opened by an elder.
âI suppose you are the owner of this hotel?â
âOur young master has been waiting for you to explain!â
After speaking, Shu Liangjun took a step back, making way at the doorway.
Gao Zenghao glanced inside and saw a noble youth casually flipping through an ancient book.
The mottled feel of the ancient book and the color of its pages suggested that it was likely unearthed from the Epoch Relics.
Ancient books derived from Epoch Relics were genuinely luxurious items, incredibly valuable!
Forces that obtained such items generally would not trade them.
Gao Zenghao silently cursed in his heart.
He was certain he had never seen this elder and youth before, and they had not registered at the Wanâan Hotel.
There was no trace of filth or damage in the room, and no signs of a struggle had taken place.
Where on earth could Tian Nao and his group have gone?
Duan Zhen had just mentioned that a conflict occurred on this seventh floor.
What Gao Zenghao excelled at most was pleasing guests.
If a guest usually demanded an explanation, Gao Zenghao would always greet them with a smile and apologize.
Apologizing would not bring shame upon himself and could even enhance the prestige of the hotel.
Otherwise, Gao Zenghao would not have been able to build up the Wanâan Hotel in just two years after the disturbance caused by Tian Nao!
But now Tian Nao had disappeared, which was certainly due to this elder and the youth in the room.
The matter involved the Lingdian Clan, and Gao Zenghao had to act with the utmost caution.
Gao Zenghao quickly stepped inside and asked Fang Mu.
âExcuse me, are you a guest staying here? You seem unfamiliar, and you are not the one who registered for the Tianxiang Suite.â
âYoung Master Tian who just came up belongs to the Lingdian Clan, I hopeâŠâ
Gao Zenghaoâs words were cut short when he stuttered upon seeing the indigo insignia carved with two white Ling patterns on the table.
This insignia was the symbol of the Lingdian Clan, given only to direct line members upon reaching adulthood.
The presence of this insignia here made it clear to Gao Zenghao what it implied.
This elder and youth had either confined Tian Nao and his group within a spiritual instrument or a Special Category Beastâs body, or Tian Nao and his group were already dead.
Gao Zenghao favored the former possibility.
For one, the suite was implausibly clean; not only was there no pollution, but there was not even the slightest whiff of blood.
Second, unless the elder and youth possessed the ability to instantaneously kill Tian Naoâs guards, a considerable commotion would have ensued.
And the roomâs furnishings would not have remained as intact as they were now.
The guards arranged by the Lingdian Clan for Tian Nao were at least a Hexagram Beastmaster with a Sequential Guardian Beast.
Thirdly, Gao Zenghao did not believe anyone would dare openly attack a young master of the Lingdian Clan within Boundless City.
Even if someone did have such intentions, they would likely act in secret!
Otherwise, wouldnât that just be blatantly waiting for the Lingdian Clanâs retaliation?
Fang Mu looked at Gao Zenghao with a smile that was not quite a smile.
âIs this how your Wanâan Hotel treats its guests?â
âThe price for one night in this suite is by no means cheap!â
Gao Zenghao found himself in a difficult position, uncertain of which stance to take when communicating with the young man before him.
This elder and the youth had the capability to detain Tian Nao and his group; they certainly possessed strength beyond the Sequential ranks.
