Chapter 1105: Master Situ

Which customer who can come to Yunhe Tower is not rich or noble?

I am just a servant, how can I withstand the anger of these bigwigs?

No matter what, he could not show any obscene or inappropriate behavior towards these two female customers. Otherwise, if he offended the customers, he would not only lose his job, but he might even lose his life!

"We're here to stay. What caves do you have available?"

At this moment, Youruo spoke first. Her voice was clear, cool and gentle, like a spring flowing in the mountains, breaking the brief silence.

She looked at the young servant calmly, without any extra emotion.

The young servant immediately raised his head upon hearing the voice, a respectful smile reappearing on his face as he quickly replied, "Fairy, our Yunhe Tower has many caves to offer, from the ordinary Lingyun Mansion, to the intermediate Yuehua Mansion, to the advanced Xinghui Mansion, and the top-level ones are Songshan Mansion and Tianyun Mansion..."

He named more than a dozen caves in one breath, each corresponding to a different level and price, his tone fluent and without any pause.

He was clearly already familiar with this information. "Let's just go for the most expensive one."

Youruo didn't wait for him to finish and spoke again, her tone flat, as if she was just talking about a trivial matter.

Hearing this, the young servant's heart was shocked and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The most expensive cave in Yunhe Tower has a daily cost that is enough to bankrupt an ordinary Divine Monarch. Looking across the entire Central Plains, few people can afford to live there.

Even the patriarchs of top families and the masters of large sects, although they have respected status and rich wealth, have to shoulder the responsibility of the entire family or sect. They need to use resources on the training of children in the family and the construction of the sect. They dare not spend so extravagantly.

In Yunhe Tower, those who are so generous are generally independent cultivators who are not bound by any sect and have a lot of wealth.

Could it be that these three people in front of me are the legendary "big fat sheep" level cultivators?

The more the young servant thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He became more cautious and his attitude became even more respectful than before.

He quickly bowed and said, "In reply to the fairy, the most advanced cave dwelling in our Yunhe Tower is the Yunhe Mansion. It is located on the central floating fairy island. It not only has its own spiritual spring and training room, but it can also draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is of great benefit to cultivation. However, the cost of Yunhe Mansion is also extremely high. I do not have sufficient authority to directly handle the check-in procedures for the three of you. If you need anything, I will contact my superiors immediately to meet with you!!!"

Hearing this, Youruo nodded slightly, her tone still calm: "Then go ahead."

The young servant quickly responded, "Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go get the boss!!!"

After saying this, he bowed again, then turned around and walked away quickly, his pace much faster than when he came, obviously wanting to inform his boss of the news as soon as possible.

"Manager Li! Someone wants to book the Yunhe Mansion. Please come over and take a look!"

The young servant almost ran into the inner hall, the hem of his robe fluttering in the wind, and beads of sweat beaded on his forehead.

He suddenly stopped in front of the plump woman in crimson palace dress, his back bent very low, his voice still panting, and every word was full of urgency.

The red gold and kingfisher feather hairpins in the hair of the woman in palace dress swayed gently, and the hanging pearl strings collided slightly with her movements, making a tiny sound.

Hearing this, the plump woman holding the teacup paused, and the warm tea created a shallow ripple on the edge of the white porcelain cup.

She looked up at the servant, her eyebrows slightly raised, her eyes filled with disbelief, "Is this true? Yunhe Mansion is the most expensive, and normally, few people even ask the price. How could someone actually want to book it directly?"

As she spoke, she placed the teacup on the pearwood table next to her. The bottom of the cup made a slight sound when it hit the tabletop. Then she stood up and said, "Quick, take me to see it."

"Of course it's true!"

The servant quickly stood up and hurried to catch up with the woman, adding in a low voice as they walked, "Those three guests look extraordinary—the young man in the lead is wearing a moon-white brocade robe made of the extremely rare ice silkworm snow silk. The girls accompanying him are also of noble appearances. They are obviously nobles from powerful families!"

Passing through the corridors of Yunhe Tower with carved beams and painted buildings, with a faint scent of incense floating in the air, they arrived at the front hall in just half an incense stick of time.

As the plump woman walked around the screen and her eyes fell on Ye Chen, her eyes immediately lit up.

It is a keen intuition developed from years of dealing with people.

She had been working as a manager in Yunhe Tower for nearly ten years, and had met at least hundreds of millions of dignitaries and disciples from various sects, but she had never seen anyone with such a magnanimous demeanor!

Ye Chen sat upright on a pearwood chair, his back straight but not stiff, his fingertips casually resting on the edge of the table, and a faint halo seemed to linger around him.

This is not a deliberate display of ostentation, but a nobleness that comes from the bones. Even the arc of the falling hem reveals calmness.

"This young man."

The plump woman immediately put away the surprise in her eyes, and put on a perfect smile on her face. She walked forward with brisk steps, and said in a respectful and enthusiastic tone, "We have several top-level caves in Yunhe Tower. The others are now occupied. The only one left is Yunhe Mansion, which ranks first!"

At this point, she paused, her tone slightly cautious. "It's just that the price of Yunhe Mansion is indeed high. A monthly payment of 500,000 immortal crystals is required. According to the rules, before confirming the lease, we need to verify the assets first. I wonder if you can cooperate?"

As she spoke, her eyes were always on Ye Chen, and her smile was bright but not flattering.

The moment she saw him, she was certain that the young man before her was no ordinary person and could definitely come up with such assets.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Youruo, who was standing beside Ye Chen, raised her hand and took out a small purple gold gourd from the storage ring.

The gourd had a warm luster all over and was carved with fine cloud patterns. She flicked her wrist slightly, and the small gourd flew steadily towards the plump woman.

The woman quickly reached out to catch it, only to feel it was heavy.

She clasped the mouth of the gourd with her fingertips and turned it gently. A strong spiritual energy instantly rushed towards her. When she looked closely, she found that the inside of the gourd was filled with all kinds of natural treasures.

Immortal crystals as big as fists were piled up like a mountain, divine sources emitting a luminous green divine light were arranged neatly, and there were also many rare medicinal herbs that she had only seen in classics. Every one of them would cause scramble when taken out.

She was used to seeing treasures in Yunhe Tower, but this was the first time she had seen such a huge number of immortal crystals and divine sources!

The plump woman's eyes widened instantly, and she quickly closed the gourd, her voice trembling: "Enough, enough! Absolutely enough! Sir, please wait a moment, I will go and handle the formalities for you!"

As she spoke, she put the purple gold gourd in her pocket, turned around and walked quickly towards the accounting office, her steps even faster than usual.

The procedures went smoothly and were all completed in just a quarter of an hour.

When the plump woman handed the jade plaque engraved with the three words "Yunhe Mansion" back to Ye Chen with both hands, she breathed a long sigh of relief. The smile on her face became more and more genuine, and even the fine lines at the corners of her eyes revealed excitement.

"Master, Yunhe Mansion is the premier cave dwelling in our Yunhe Tower. Not only is it filled with the richest celestial energy, it also boasts a top-notch open-air hot spring. Even if someone wants to rent it on weekdays, they have to make a reservation three months in advance. It's truly a blessing for it to be reserved by you today. Master, this is the first time I've seen someone as powerful as you!"

As she spoke, she made a "please" gesture and was about to lead Ye Chen towards Yunhe Mansion when suddenly a noise came from outside.

The crisp sound of tables and chairs colliding, the servants' exclamations, and the loud shouting of people completely shattered the original tranquility of the front hall.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people rushed in, surrounding a young man.

The young man was wearing a royal blue brocade robe with gold embroidered on the collar and cuffs. He reeked of alcohol and his steps were unsteady. On each side of him was a sexy woman in revealing clothes. The women had deliberately flattering expressions on their faces and wiped the corners of his mouth with handkerchiefs from time to time.

He burped, his eyes blurry but still full of arrogance. As soon as he entered the room, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way! I'm in a good mood today and I want to spend money lavishly in your Yunhe Tower! Don't mention the rules to me. I don't have anything else but a lot of money!"

Behind him, there were seven or eight people following, all of them reeked of alcohol, with women in their arms or playing with jade pendants, with arrogance on their faces. They deliberately bumped into the guests next to them as they walked, looking very arrogant.

Steward Wang, who was in charge of reception at the front hall, stepped forward quickly with a polite smile on his face. "Master Situ, you're here? There are quite a few distinguished guests in Yunhe Tower. Could you please be a little quieter and not disturb others..."

"Quiet?"

Upon hearing this, Master Situ suddenly pushed Manager Wang away with such force that Manager Wang staggered back two steps and almost bumped into the table next to him.

He narrowed his drunken eyes and spoke in an increasingly arrogant tone, "What do you mean by 'distinguished guests'? Are they esteemed guests, but I am not? You're afraid of offending those people, but aren't you afraid of offending me?"

Manager Wang's face darkened instantly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Yunhe Tower has deep roots in Zhongzhou and is backed by a large sect. Even if a guest comes to cause trouble on weekdays, he will simply have someone carry the person out, and no one dares to cause trouble again.

But the Master Situ in front of him is different.

He is the legitimate son of the Situ family, the largest family in Zhongzhou. The Situ family's influence in Zhongzhou is unmatched, and there are many masters in the family, not to mention the ancestor of the Situ family, who swept across all major forces in Zhongzhou ten thousand years ago and earned the title of "Zhongzhou's No. 1 Master". In recent years, he has lived in seclusion and no one dares to provoke him.

Faced with such a behemoth, not to mention him as a manager, even the owner of Yunhe Tower would not want to offend it easily.

Steward Wang suppressed his anger, forced a smile, and softened his tone, "Master Situ, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant... It's just that we do have distinguished guests here today. Could you please give me some face and let's go to the private room upstairs and have a drink?"

After hearing what Manager Wang said, the drunkenness on Master Situ's face seemed to be mostly dispelled by the anger that was ignited in an instant.

He suddenly shook off the hand of the woman beside him, and the hem of his royal blue brocade robe swept across the corner of the table due to the large amplitude of the movement, sweeping a white porcelain teacup to the ground. With a crisp "clang" sound, fragments splashed all over the floor.

"How dare you talk to me like that?"

He rushed to Manager Wang in two steps and grabbed the other's collar with his right hand. His knuckles turned white due to the force, and the strong smell of alcohol hit Manager Wang's face.

"I'm the legitimate son of the Situ family, and I'm here to spend money in your shabby building, and you still dare to talk to me about 'face'? And you even dare to ask me to go to the private room? You're complaining so much, do you think I don't have the money to spend and am unworthy of your Yunhe Tower?!"

Manager Wang was pulled forward by him, his neck was tightened and he had difficulty breathing.

He grabbed Master Situ's wrists with both hands, trying to pry his hands apart. The anger in his heart was like a red-hot iron, almost breaking through his rationality.

He had been the manager of Yunhe Tower for five years, and no one had ever dared to touch him like this.

But when his fingertips touched the jade pendant engraved with the word "Situ" on Master Situ's wrist, he forced himself to suppress his anger.

The Situ family is too powerful. If a conflict really breaks out here, not only him as a manager, but the entire Yunhe Tower may be implicated.

"Master Situ, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant..."

Steward Wang's voice was a little muffled, and he could only suppress his anger to explain, "It's just that we do have distinguished guests in the front hall today, and I'm afraid I'll disturb your interest..."

"Distinguished guest?" Young Master Situ scoffed, exerting a little more force to pull Steward Wang closer. "In this Central Plains, besides my Situ family, who else dares to call themselves 'distinguished guests'? Is the distinguished guest in your eyes even worth a finger of mine?"

The guests around had already been attracted by the commotion here and were looking sideways.

Several monks sitting not far away put down their teacups and talked among themselves, their eyes full of interest in watching the fun.

Most of them were from other forces in Zhongzhou. They had long heard of the arrogance and domineering behavior of the eldest son of the Situ family, but no one dared to step forward to dissuade him.

After all, the Situ family's reputation is there, and no one wants to offend this untouchable Buddha for the sake of an irrelevant manager.

The two alluring women beside Master Situ also came over. One of them, wearing a bright red gauze dress, reached out and poked Steward Wang in the chest. Her voice was shrill and harsh, "How can you be so ignorant, Steward? Our Master is willing to spend money at your Yunhe Tower because he's giving you face! And you still dare to be picky? Do you look down on our Master?"

Another woman in green echoed this, hands on her hips, her tone becoming increasingly arrogant. "That's right! Here, only our Young Master Situ is worthy of being a distinguished guest. Everyone else has to stand aside! I'm telling you, if you dare to neglect our Young Master, not only will you lose your job as a manager, but even your Yunhe Tower will be in trouble!"

These two people relied on the support of Master Situ, and their saliva almost splashed on Manager Wang's face when they spoke. Their fox-like appearance of taking advantage of the power of the tiger made the guests around them frown.

Manager Wang's face darkened completely, and the anger in his eyes almost overflowed.

He stared at the two women, his right hand unconsciously clenched into a fist.
