Because the Prison Ceremony was about to take place, all the inns in the Imperial City had been booked out by Prince Manor, for the purpose of entertaining the guests coming to attend the Prison Ceremony.

However, when Mu Ruyue and the other entered the inn, they were informed that the inn was already fully booked...

Although Mu Ruyue felt something was off, she didn’t linger. She turned around, ready to leave, but just as she reached the doorway, an angry voice rang out from ahead, making her brows involuntarily knit together.

"What did you just say? All the inns are full? How is that possible? If you don’t give this young lady an explanation today, I absolutely will not let you off!"

The girl in the pink dress was shaking with anger, her furious gaze as sharp as if she were about to kill, glaring viciously at the person in front of her.

Standing before her was a man in a cyan robe. He looked her over with undisguised contempt, lips hooked in a trace of a sneer. "Young lady, my apologies, you came a step too late. All our rooms have already been taken. Please go try another place." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

However, it was obvious that there wouldn’t be any vacancies at another place either...

Who told these few people to offend the eldest young lady of Prince Manor? Just now, a maid from Prince Manor had already come to give instructions: if they saw these four people, they were absolutely not allowed to let them stay.

Prince Manor’s power was immense; how could people like them dare disobey?

Just as the girl in pink was about to say something, a question came from the side: "Boss, do you still have any rooms available here?"

Originally, because the girl in pink was still there, the Shopkeeper had intended to brush this person off as well, but when he turned and saw who it was, his expression changed drastically. He hurried forward and said, "So it’s Master Tian Long. I will immediately arrange a room for Master."

As he spoke, the Shopkeeper’s face was full of fawning flattery, completely unlike his domineering attitude from just moments before.

Even within the Imperial City, as a powerful Alchemy Master, Sky Dragon was still extremely renowned. Faced with such a good opportunity, how could the Shopkeeper possibly turn him away?

Wouldn’t that be the same as turning his back on Elixirs?

If he served him well, maybe Master Tian Long would be pleased and reward him with an Elixir. That would be enough for the rest of his life...

As if he could already see that Elixir brimming with Qi beckoning to him, the Shopkeeper’s saliva nearly dripped out.

"Hmph!" The girl in pink gave a cold snort. "Didn’t you just say there were no rooms available? Why is there suddenly one for him?"

"Heh heh!"

The Shopkeeper gave a cold laugh. "That’s because Master Tian Long reserved a room in advance, so that last room naturally should be kept for Master Tian Long. As for you... get lost back to wherever you came from! Don’t you agree, Master Tian Long?"

His words were already very clear. He believed Master Tian Long would understand his meaning and, no matter what, wouldn’t embarrass him under these circumstances...

After saying that, he turned his gaze toward Sky Dragon...

Unfortunately, Sky Dragon hadn’t heard a word he said.

Because he had already noticed Mu Ruyue walking toward him...

The Shopkeeper frowned and followed Sky Dragon’s line of sight over to Mu Ruyue. His face instantly darkened as he shouted angrily, "I just said it already, this establishment has no rooms left. What are you still shamelessly hanging around here for? Can’t you see Master Tian Long is here? The Young Miss letting you into the city at all was already an act of mercy. Don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Then again, I suppose you lot would never get to see such a powerful Alchemy Master as Master Tian Long in your entire lives, so you’re clinging on here shamelessly just to cozy up to him at close range!"
