Chapter 275: The Hostess

As the carriage drove through the city gates, Mo Chu appeared by the side of the coach driver once more and took over the reins, before he drove towards the inn he had rented.

Although Xiumeng City was among the largest cities on the entire continent, many experts had gathered here due to this spectacular tournament, and thus the inns were already having difficulties providing enough boarding space for all the guests.

However, Mo Chu was not an ordinary expert. Although he did not use force to make the other guests leave, he had managed to empty a whole inn for Bai Rouyun and her entourage.

Even the inn had been paid an exorbitant price to not let others enter throughout their visit, but in the end, both the inn and Mo Chu had been very pleased with the result.

To Mo Chu, the wealth he used was merely a drop in the bucket and did not matter much, while the inn earned more than a two whole years income in return for renting it exclusively to Mo Chu and the guests he brought.

The guests who had been waiting in the inn were also satisfied when seeing the generous payment he had given them, as they still had the time to look for another place to rest. Although most places had been snatched up already, there were still some available, so they did not mind much.

When they arrived, Mo Chu helped Bai Rouyun out of the carriage, and the young woman could not help but nod her head approvingly as she noticed that it was a very clean place.

Although this inn was not big and magnificent as many others, one could see that it was crafted using quality materials, and the entire building was clean and pleasant to look at.

Nodding her head in approval, Bai Rouyun entered the inn, and found that even the lobby was very tidy and comfortable. The ground floor acted as a restaurant, while a staircase went towards the upper floors where the bedrooms were placed.

Due to Mo Chu renting out the entire inn, the restaurant was currently empty, but the scent of food was wafting through the air.

"Esteemed guests, welcome to our inn."

The manager of the inn was a middle-aged woman. She was smiling gently and she was polite, but she did not seem flattering. Her smile was friendly and open, but there was no feelings of inferiority in her gaze as she greeted Bai Rouyun.

For some reason, this woman made Bai Rouyun feel very good. Such an attitude was suitable for a woman like her, and even though she could not sense even the slightest ripple of energy, she did not show any disdain.

Instead, she bowed slightly to show her gratitude.

"I apologize if our request to clear out the inn has caused any dissatisfaction. We are here with utmost sincerity, and we would like to show our gratitude for your willingness to cooperate."

Although Bai Rouyun was aware that Mo Chu must have handled the matter well, she still understood that their behavior was somewhat forceful, and that it might influence the inn's reputation in the future.

As such, she needed to display her gratitude towards this hostess. Even if Bai Rouyun was no longer the previous girl with no backing, she still believed that it was important to show respect and thankfulness to those who treated her well.

The hostess was surprised when she realized that Bai Rouyun was polite and respectful. She knew very well that no one could sense her energy fluctuations, and that she was seemingly a weak mortal.

Not to mention, the fact that she had been willing to use such a shocking amount of wealth to book her entire inn showed that she was not an ordinary person.

This hostess was middle-aged and had seen many things during her lifetime. She had met many of such young women from the various forces before, but she had not expected to be met with gratitude and respect like this.

Such an attitude naturally made her feel very friendly towards Bai Rouyun and she quickly picked up the conversation.

"Although we had to clear the inn, those who had been relocated were paid handsomely and none of them have been forced to give up their rooms. At the same time, your friend has paid a great amount of wealth to have some privacy while being here, so it is truly no trouble for me."

Although this hostess had a good impression of Bai Rouyun, she had met too many fake heiresses who pretended to be innocent and gentle on the surface, but were actually scheming and evil deep inside.

She had intentionally mentioned that Mo Chu was her friend rather than a guard to see if there was any reaction on Bai Rouyun's face, but she found that she happily accepted this way of addressing the guard.

"Hey, Jiang Wei, you can pick a room first. I do not dare to fight for a room with you!"

Bai Rouyun was happy to see that things had been settled, so she turned her head and called for the weird guy that had been following them for some time.

Although Jiang Wei was still wearing the clothes of a guard, everyone knew that he was the strongest in their entourage, but only Bai Rouyun dared to mock him like this.

Although it sounded as if she was showing him respect, she was, in fact, making fun of him, as everyone else feared him.

Even so, in the eyes of the hostess, it seemed to be a pair of friends bickering, and her eyes lit up in excitement. This young lady was likely to be a good person!
