The Villain Starts From Dual Cultivation With The Protagonist's Master
Chapter 29 The Little Maid Becomes The Big Boss
The innkeeper hurriedly checked the bill when he heard that there was a guest coming to stay, only to find that there were no vacant rooms.
He bowed his head respectfully and said to Wu Dian, "Sir, we don't have that many rooms in our inn. The only five rooms we have left have already been reserved."
Wu Dian became impatient.
He had boasted in front of everyone that he would let them stay in the best inn in Shengle City tonight. How could he say something and not do it, embarrassing himself?
The rooms were just reserved. Wu Dian had heard in the sect that the disciples of the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce and the Immortal Gate were esteemed guests. It should be easy to cut in line.
Besides, five rooms were just enough to squeeze out Luo Li and make him stay somewhere else.
"They haven't arrived yet, right? There are only five rooms, so check us in!"
The innkeeper was in a dilemma and muttered softly, "This... what should I do..."
The boss of the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce, Lu Qianqiu, had said more than once to treat guests from the Immortal Gate and the Lu family with caution. They were all esteemed guests who couldn't be offended.
But these rooms had already been reserved, and even though the five people who reserved them were always in debt, the chamber of commerce valued its reputation in business. The rooms that had been reserved couldn't be given to someone else.
Just then, five tall and strong men entered the inn.
The tallest one was over two meters tall, with muscular body, named Liu Hu, the leader of the five.
As soon as he entered, he heard someone saying they wanted to take his room.
"Wait, who said we haven't arrived? Aren't we right here?"
Seeing the disdainful look on the person talking to the innkeeper, Liu Hu couldn't stand it. "Shorty, go find another place to stay!"
When had Wu Dian ever been called shorty, especially by a martial artist like Liu Hu?
With his tall stature and huge muscles, Wu Dian could tell at a glance that these five people were martial artists.
In the cultivation world, cultivators were divided into two categories: those from cultivation sects and families, and those who focused on martial arts as ordinary people.
Cultivators primarily cultivated spiritual energy to nourish their bodies and use various Dao techniques with spiritual energy.
Martial artists primarily cultivated their physical bodies to nourish their spiritual energy. Although they were stronger in close combat at the same level, it was difficult for them to go far. Their lifespan was no different from ordinary people, and they couldn't enter the Great Dao.
Cultivators generally looked down on martial artists, and Wu Dian was no exception.
The anger he had suppressed in the desert village was about to be unleashed on Liu Hu.
Today, he had said he would stay here, and no one could stop him.
Besides, he had two spirit cores in his hand, and he would have plenty of Spirit Stones after selling them.
In the market, only those who offered a high price could get the goods. That's what Young Master Sima had taught him.
"Oh? How much Spirit Stones for five rooms for one night? I'll pay double. Innkeeper, you don't want to offend the esteemed guests from the Immortal Gate, do you?"
The innkeeper was just an ordinary person in charge of taking care of the shop. He had never seen such a situation before and was at a loss for words, not daring to offend either side.
He secretly took out a sound transmission talisman and asked for help from the headquarters of the chamber of commerce.
When Liu Hu heard Wu Dian's words, he clenched his fists, and the veins on his forehead bulged, clearly showing his anger.
It was obviously the room he had reserved a long time ago, and this shorty was still pestering him.
And he was pretending to be rich. Liu Hu always looked down on wealthy young masters.
He wanted to let this ignorant person know what would happen if he provoked him.
As the "Fierce Tiger of Shengle" in the underworld, his anger was not something a weakling like this shorty could handle.
Liu Hu rushed towards Wu Dian, raised his fist, and punched towards Wu Dian's face.
Wu Dian just dodged backward, and Liu Hu's fist didn't hit him but hit the wall, breaking a landscape painting.
Wu Dian could easily see through Liu Hu's movements. After all, he was a high-level cultivator at the Foundation Building Stage, not someone like Liu Hu, an ordinary martial artist.
Wu Dian taunted, "You're not good enough, bro."
After saying that, he retaliated with a punch, gathering spiritual energy in his fist, making it harder than rock and almost as fast as sound.
This punch hit Liu Hu's chest solidly, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.
Liu Hu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up. "Not bad, you're a cultivator?"
"Don't waste words! Count to five and disappear before my eyes."
"You dare to think that. Let's fight!"
Liu Hu believed that it wasn't that he was inferior in skills, but that he had been careless. He hadn't expected that the seemingly weak Wu Dian in front of him would be a cultivator.
He wanted to regain his reputation today and make these arrogant cultivators lose and be humiliated.
"Stop!"
A powerful and melodious female voice sounded at the same time as the sound of the door being opened, attracting everyone's attention.
The person who came in was wearing a light blue cheongsam, with long and slender legs and a slim waist. Her graceful and noble aura made it hard for people to look away.
Seeing the person clearly, the innkeeper shouted, "Boss Lu Qianqiu! Why are you here?"
To the surprise of the innkeeper, he had thought that the headquarters would send a few people to solve the trouble, but he never expected that the founder of the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce, Lu Qianqiu, would come.
Lu Chuan looked at the woman who suddenly arrived and heard the innkeeper call her Lu Qianqiu, feeling puzzled.
In the original work, there was a maid abandoned by Lu Chuan who was also named Lu Qianqiu, a name that coincidentally matched the beautiful and noble boss of the chamber of commerce.
The cultivation world is so big, it can't be this coincidental, right?
Lu Qianqiu asked in response, "Why, can't I come?"
She looked around and saw more than a dozen people in the hall, two people fighting in front of the counter, a big hole in the wall, and broken decorations scattered on the ground.
"What happened here?" Lu Qianqiu asked.
Her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, revealing her displeasure.
The innkeeper briefly explained the situation, specifically mentioning Liu Hu and others who often owed debts and didn't pay them back.
In his heart, compared to the barbaric Liu Hu, he stood more on Wu Dian's side.
Upon hearing the innkeeper's words, Lu Qianqiu's eyes lit up. If there were guests from the Immortal Gate, she could inquire about Lu Chuan's situation. It had been half a year since they last met, and she didn't know how he was doing.
She glanced at the people from the Immortal Gate, her gaze lingering on Lu Chuan, who had disguised himself as Meng Qing, and then she sniffed the air in the hall.
Lu Qianqiu couldn't help but laugh. Perhaps she didn't need to inquire anymore.
"Mr. Wu is a disciple of the Immortal Gate?" she asked.
"Absolutely true," Wu Dian said, taking out his sect token to prove his identity.
Having spent some time at the Immortal Gate, Lu Qianqiu naturally recognized that the token was not fake. She also had a similar token.
Lu Qianqiu nodded and then said, "Innkeeper, rent five rooms to Mr. Wu. Mr. Liu, please find another place."
Wu Dian smiled happily, knowing that he had won in the end.
The big guy who only knew brute force would have to give up the room to him.
Upon hearing this, Liu Hu punched the wall, damaging another painting. The frame shattered, and the painting wrinkled.
He had thought that the boss would come and understand the principle of first come, first served, and that he would be in the right. He never expected her to tell him to get lost as soon as she opened her mouth.
"What do you mean? Clearly, we made the reservation earlier. Is there no justice left?"
Lu Qianqiu stood proudly, saying without room for rebuttal, "First pay off your debts and compensate for the two damaged paintings, then Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce will welcome you. Until then, you are not welcome here."
Liu Hu indeed had no money, so he could only swallow his anger and leave the inn.
As he left, he shouted loudly, "Alright! Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce, I'll remember you. Just wait and see, I, Tiger Liu, will make you pay."
The other four martial artists also followed Liu Hu and, before leaving, cast a resentful glance at Wu Dian and Lu Qianqiu.
"Boss Lu, is this the right thing to do? Liu Hu has connections with the underworld in Shengle City. We might be targeted by them in the future," one of them said.
"It doesn't matter. Take care of the esteemed guests in front of us first," Lu Qianqiu replied.
The innkeeper understood and no longer worried about this or that. He believed in the boss's judgment.
There were rumors that the boss came from the Lu family in the cultivation world and was not afraid of some local bullies.
Wu Dian received the keys to the five rooms and handed them to the others except for Luo Li.
Wu Dian smiled triumphantly and said, "Luo Li, there are only five rooms left. Please bear with it and find another inn to stay for one night. I'll cover the cost with some Spirit Stones."
Luo Li's face didn't look good. Although she had expected to be targeted along the way, she still felt extremely angry when it happened so blatantly.
The system's voice sounded.
"Detected that the protagonist Luo Li is feeling angry.
Rewarding mission points: 500.
Accumulated villain points: 4,230.
Mission: Make the little maid Lu Qianqiu understand that she has been abandoned.
Reward: Mastery of Alchemy Technique (able to refine pills below the Nascent Soul stage)."
Lu Qianqiu's words followed immediately.
She turned to Lu Chuan and smiled as she spoke.
"Everyone is esteemed guests from the Immortal Gate. How can I let you stay outside? I have many rooms at home. Please let one immortal stay in my humble abode for one night. This young master, would you honor me?"
Lu Qianqiu's voice was pleasant, charming, and elegant.
But Lu Chuan was startled and his breathing slowed down.
Had he been recognized?
