'No, Miss. This is different. It auras the same as the black-robed figure we fought in Fairy's territory,' Hao retorted.
'Ha?' Just as she finished her sentence, her sense of smell also felt the same way as Hao.
Fu Xie Lan reflexively looked back and found Wan Lie who was also staring at her. The man also felt the same way.
'True, but the smell is very faint.' Immediately she looked around to find out where the scent was coming from.
But the result is nil. She didn't find a single suspicious figure. All that entered her view were vampires with red robes on their bodies.
The more they stepped, the very disturbing smell seemed to spread around them.
"Where are we now, Xie Lan?" Xue Ning asked suddenly making them all turn their heads towards the girl.
"Maybe we need to find an inn first?"
"But, Xie Lan. Will anyone accept us? Just looking at their gazes makes me a little doubtful," Xue Ning replied.
"I'll make them want," said the girl firmly.
After half a day in the city center, Fu Xie Lan and the others entered an inn that was not very crowded. Only occasionally seen Vampires hanging around there. The inn is not too big and looks simple.
If one usually immediately greeted guests when visiting, but that was not the case for Fu Xie Lan and the others.
Even the innkeeper ignored their existence.
"We want to reserve a room, sir," said Fu Xie Lan, approaching the old man who was the owner of the inn where she was. The girl knew it just by looking at the movements of the man who gave orders to several maids earlier.
"We don't accept people from poor clans, miss. If you don't have a lot of spirit stones. The better you guys just leave," said the old man in a disdainful tone.
"How many spirit stones do you need to get a room, sir?" asked Fu Xie Lan still in a polite tone.
While Zhou was next to her, the man had been worried since earlier. Afraid that the spirit stones he brought would not be enough for the six of them. He had thought before, their arrival to the city center would be done secretly, and not in an overt manner, and even booked an inn like this.
To be honest, he had a hard time guessing what the girl was up to. Would not appear in front of so many people make it difficult for them to save his father?
The old man who heard Fu Xie Lan's words snorted disapprovingly. "Why ask, Miss? Even if I mention the price, you can't necessarily pay it," replied the innkeeper.
"Miss, we should find another place," Zhou said feeling already uncomfortable.
"Tch.. this inn is already the cheapest among all the inns here."
"What are you guys visiting here for? You'd better go back to your Clans. It's better than wandering around and polluting the city center," added the old man in a very arrogant tone of voice.
"Forgive us, sir," Zhou replied.
"We'd better go, Miss Xie Lan," he added again and immediately got a glare from the girl.
"Why apologize? You're completely innocent."
Zhou just stayed silent and didn't answer. Seeing the man's response, Fu Xie Lan took a deep breath. She needed an inn to plan and observe the situation before moving on. So whatever happened she had to get it.
Immediately she reached into her cosmic bag and pulled out a handful of spirit stones from inside.
"Is this enough for six rooms?" she asked the old man standing before her.
Those who saw this were stunned on the spot, and Zhou was no exception. Even the other guests who happened to be passing by stopped their step.
"Not enough?" asked Fu Xie Lan again when she didn't get a response from the innkeeper.
The girl then reached into her cosmic bag again and took out two grips full of spirite stones from inside.
"No-Miss..." Zhou stuttered. The Spirite stone in front of them could even afford a single inn.
The old man who had belittled them before was now speechless, his jaw almost falling at the sight of the many spirite stones piled upright on the table in front of him.
Wang's family is poor? Huh, then what did he see now? They even took out countless spirit stones without the slightest hesitation.
"Master, can you hear me?" Fu Xie Lan's voice suddenly awakened the old man's shock.
"Ah, y-yes, Miss. you can come in right away and occupy the six rooms," replied the old man as he scooped up all the spirit stones in front of him as he was looking at the treasure.
Xue Ning who saw the male innkeeper's response only snorted disapprovingly.
Whereas on Fu Xie Lan's side, all of that was meaningless to her. The number of spirite stones she took out was only a fraction of the spirite stones she had. Let's say this is another of her luck.
They were then escorted to their respective rooms.
And because it was still noon, they decided to relax for a while in a special room that had been provided for the guests of the inn. Very quiet all around.
"Xie Lan, you shouldn't give him many spirit stones," Xue Ning said right after landing her body on the chair provided, causing Zhou who seemed to want to say the same thing, only nod in approval of the girl's question.
"That's right, Miss. One full grip of spirit stone is enough to rent six rooms," said Zhou.
"Never mind, forget it and don't think about it. At least I've got what I wanted," Fu Xie Lan replied
"Hmm, fine."
"By the way, what are your next plans?"
"Nothing," Fu Xie Lan replied in that instant.
"Huh?"
"Aren't we going to save Wang Chu, Xie Lan?" Xue Ning asked.
"Indeed, but not now," the girl replied curtly.
"I still don't understand, Xie Lan. Many of them already know of our existence, won't that make it difficult for us to move later."
"Entering the city center openly for all to see is my goal," the girl replied lightly.
"Huh?"
"In your opinion, if the leader of the wang family suddenly disappeared in the city center, who would be the prime candidate as the culprit?" asked Fu Xie Lan.
"Of course, Wang Family Clan, Miss," Zhou replied quickly.
"Right. But it will be different when you are in the same location when it happened," explained Fu Xie Lan.
"Seeing you in the same location, they wouldn't think that it was people from the Wang family clan who took Wang Chu away, and that would protect not only you but your clan as well."
"They will think that someone else was who did it, and not the Wang family clan people."
"Right now, let's observe the situation first while looking for where your father is."
