#1948 - Make things difficult
The registration of Xinghua Village and outsiders attracted the attention of the entire town.
Many people were secretly discussing it.
Certain individuals from different forces revealed ambiguous expressions.
They stared at the two lines on the projected scroll for a long time.
……
Inside the的天赐神殿 (Heavenly Gift Temple), the scroll emitted two rays of light, and a large amount of information entered the minds of Jun Wuxie and Hua Qi.
These were the rules for the upcoming Town-Level Heavenly Gift Battle Tournament.
According to the rules, each force was allowed a maximum of five participants in the Town-Level Heavenly Gift Battle Tournament.
The tournament's advancement system adopted a personal points system, but the final ranking depended on the collective points.
This point was extremely unfavorable to rogue cultivators.
Unless rogue cultivators formed teams or alliances, they would inevitably suffer in terms of points.
How could one person's points compare to the total points of several people from various forces?
“Participant Jun Wuxie, are you representing yourself or Xinghua Village in the competition?”
A deep, ethereal voice came from the scroll.
“Representing Xinghua Village.”
Jun Wuxie didn't hesitate at all.
He was very clear that if he chose to represent himself, Hua Qi definitely wouldn't go far.
He might not even pass this Town-Level Tournament.
It wasn't that Hua Qi lacked talent, but that he was too young and hadn't cultivated for long enough. He was currently only in the Middle Heavenly Realm of the Half-God Realm, and Xinghua Village only had him as a participant.
The participants from other villages or forces would inevitably have people who had cultivated for twenty or thirty years, and some might have even reached the Absolute Heavenly Realm of the Half-God Realm.
This world was special, formed by the integration of shattered spaces from many high-level worlds.
The forces living in this realm had some roots in the past, and their bloodlines wouldn't be weak.
Although Hua Qi possessed Emperor Blood, giving him a significant advantage in bloodline, it would be difficult to bridge the huge gap in cultivation level when facing opponents with considerable Divine Forbidden Domains.
At this moment, on the scroll, in front of Jun Wuxie's name, besides 'Outsider,' the words 'Xinghua Village' were added.
Immediately, the light from the scroll faded, and it slowly landed on the stone platform, automatically rolling into a scroll.
Jun Wuxie and Hua Qi turned and left, heading out of the temple.
As soon as they left the temple, they saw Hua Qing and Hua Hu standing tense, looking warily ahead.
At this time, many people had come near the hall.
“Lord Jun, when you entered the temple to register, a scroll registration book appeared in the sky above the temple.
Now, I'm afraid the entire ancient town knows we are from Xinghua Village…”
Seeing him come out, Hua Qing and Hua Hu secretly transmitted their voices, and it was impossible not to hear some tension in their words.
Some of the people who came near the temple were sizing them up with curious eyes.
They had only heard of Xinghua Village, but had never seen anyone from Xinghua Village.
So these are the descendants of the Imperial Clan. They look quite ordinary, nothing special.
Some people couldn't help but think this way.
There were also some people whose eyes carried hostility, and some even had sneers on their lips.
However, they didn't say or do anything.
Seeing Jun Wuxie, Hua Qi, Hua Qing, and Hua Hu leave, no one came out to stop or provoke them.
“Let's find an inn to stay first,”
Jun Wuxie said.
Then, seeing that Hua Qi and the others didn't look too good, he couldn't help but say, “Don't pay attention to those who are hostile.
If they don't come out to provoke us, then fine, but if they do, don't consider the consequences.”
“Understood, Lord Jun.”
Hua Qing and Hua Hu responded.
Feeling the hostility of some people, they felt somewhat angry.
Because they had never had any contact with those people, let alone any grudges.
But those people were full of hostility towards them just because they came from Xinghua Village.
Although they had known for a long time that this was how it would be when their identities were exposed, they still felt very uncomfortable when they really faced it.
Their Xinghua Village was not some evil force. On the contrary, their ancestors had sacrificed themselves to resist the darkness.
“In this life, one must have a strong heart. As long as you have a clear conscience, you don't need to care about the eyes of others, let alone gain their approval.
It doesn't matter whether others are hostile or have a normal attitude. Just walk your own path.”
Jun Wuxie could see what they were thinking.
“Lord Jun is right, we will remember it.”
Hua Qing and Hua Hu nodded, shook off the thoughts in their minds, and slowly calmed their emotions.
Before long, they stopped in front of an inn called 缘客居 (Yuan Ke Ju - Gathering Place Inn).
The inn's touting waiter immediately greeted them with a smile.
Following the waiter into the inn, they went to the counter to check in.
When filling out their names, just as Hua Qi wrote his name, the middle-aged man in charge of registering guests' information suddenly shrank his pupils.
“Hua Qi, you are from Xinghua Village?”
The middle-aged man sized them up, his gaze very presumptuous and quite unfriendly.
“That's right, we are indeed from Xinghua Village.”
Hua Qi nodded.
As a result, the middle-aged man in charge of registering guests' information slightly curved the corners of his mouth into a sneer and said, “I'm sorry, our inn is already full and there are no rooms available. Please go somewhere else.”
“What, full?” Hua Qi was stunned, and then said, “That's not right. You clearly said just now that there were rooms available, and you even let us register, and the room numbers were set. Why are you suddenly saying that it's full?”
Although Hua Qi had never been out before, his intelligence immediately revealed the problem.
This wasn't that the inn was full, it was clearly deliberately targeting them.
“You people from the village, can't you understand what I'm saying?”
The middle-aged man's tone was full of impatience and disgust. He squinted at Hua Qi and the others and said, “Didn't you hear what I just said? Full is full.
What, could it be that you know better than me whether the rooms are full or not?”
“You are deliberately making things difficult for us. Where is your shopkeeper?”
Hua Qing suppressed his anger and said in a calm tone.
“Heh, you bumpkins from remote mountain villages, what status does our shopkeeper have? Is he someone you can see just because you want to?
I said, there are no rooms, so there are no rooms. Don't pester me here, get out of here quickly!”
“You—”
Hua Qi didn't expect the other party to actually tell them to get out in a stern voice. How unreasonable.
Hua Qing and Hua Hu's faces also turned ashen in an instant.
“What, putting on a stinky face for whom to see? Don't tell me you still want to act wildly here. Don't you take a look at what place this is!
If you have nowhere to live, you can sleep on the streets, haha…”
For a time, the onlookers who were attracted also burst into laughter.
Slap!
A loud slap sounded particularly crisp.
It was Jun Wuxie's palm, which slapped the middle-aged man's face hard, instantly knocking him around in circles before he fell to the ground.
Originally, he was prepared to tell Hua Qi and the others to leave and look for another inn.
He never thought that this person would actually tell them to get out.
He had to settle accounts with this ant.
Instantly, the laughing lobby on the first floor of the inn was silent.
They were shocked and stunned!
The people from Xinghua Village actually dared to hit the people from Yuan Ke Ju Inn?
You must know that this is not Xinghua Village, this is the town!
Although Yuan Ke Ju was not a powerful force, the innkeeper had good relationships with several major forces in the city.
Besides, now there were many forces in the town that were hostile to the people of Xinghua Village. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they had become the target of public criticism.
Under such circumstances, it would have been fine to choose to scurry away in disgrace, but they actually dared to make a move. Who gave the people of Xinghua Village such courage?
