Chapter 230: There's a big shot at Yunxiang Pavilion!
"Please have a seat, both of you. I will return once the rooms are ready."
Madam Liu greeted them warmly and led them to another spot, so that they wouldn't feel that the place where Yan Feng had just sat was unlucky. She also personally served them fragrant tea and fine wine.
Then she rushed upstairs.
I guess they're going to check how the room is prepared.
Gu Heng felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to refuse. After all, for some reason, Manager Liu had suddenly become so hospitable. Even if it was to do business, there was no need to be so... humble, right?
Therefore, he did not notice that the other drinkers around him were whispering and talking about the matter.
"Manager Liu is being so polite, could it be that you've taken a fancy to someone?"
"Tsk tsk, you know what, he does have a certain air about him."
"That's true... But who is that girl? So young, and still in the Nascent Soul stage, I wonder where she came from."
"No wonder she dared to argue with the Crown Prince of Yanqu."
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, offering a variety of guesses.
Qin Yiyao ignored it and started drinking the tea that Madam Liu had served.
Then he took a sip and silently spat it out.
It tastes awful.
Sure enough, after getting used to the top-grade tea brewed by Master with ten-thousand-year-old Bodhi leaves, this kind of tea was simply unpalatable.
The wine here is probably just so-so.
However, just as Qin Yiyao reached for the wine pot, Gu Heng slapped her hand away and gave her a "not allowed" look.
"You're not ready yet, why are you drinking?"
Gu Heng lowered his voice and reprimanded.
"You're so nosy!"
Qin Yiyao pouted and muttered something.
In the clinic, her master had a pretty good wine, his private collection, which he himself seemed to drink very little of. But he would give Qin Yiyao whatever she wanted, except for wine, which he refused to give her and wouldn't allow her to find wine herself.
He keeps saying things like, "In a few years, it'll be up to you."
It's not that she dislikes having someone look after her; in fact, it's quite good to have someone look after her, as it's much better than living a lonely and miserable life in her previous life.
However, even the "old-fashioned" one has his annoying moments. Qin Yiyao thought to herself, but still obediently listened to him.
On the second floor, Liu arrived at the door of the best-decorated private room and nodded.
"That's it."
The woman in the green dress beside her spoke up, reminding her, "Madam, this room was reserved specifically for the Crown Prince of Yanqu. He just had a conflict with them, and we sent out the room he had paid a high price for to keep right after he left..."
She paused at this point.
Because Lady Liu glanced at her personal maid with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
The woman in the green dress knew that Madam Liu had already made up her mind. Since the decision had been made, she might as well shut up now to avoid being disliked.
Do you know who those two are?
Liu said in a low voice.
The woman in the green robe shook her head. She had been following Manager Liu for several years and had considerable experience, but compared to Madam Liu, she was definitely not on the same level. While she might not be able to discern the backgrounds of those two people, Madam Liu certainly could.
It was quite strange, the woman in the green dress had never seen Manager Liu so warmly welcoming to guests before, even though he had no intention of staying at Yunxiang Tower.
To be honest, based on her first impression of those two people...
They simply weren't sophisticated enough to stay at Yunxianglou.
This "Yunxianglou" is owned by the Liu family—in terms of social standing, the Liu family ranks third in the Riyan Dynasty, second only to the royal family and the Bai family.
This Manager Liu is a direct descendant of the Liu family, at the tenth level of the Integration Stage, just one step away from transcending the tribulation. However, that final step can kill the vast majority of people.
In this capital city, everyone knows the name of her, "Yunxiang Liu Shi," and the only person she would receive with such humility and warmth is probably Emperor Riyan of the Riyan Dynasty.
Because Lady Liu is very proud. Even though she is skilled at social maneuvering and managing relationships, the people she can get in touch with, whether inside or outside the dynasty, are all at the Tribulation Transcending stage!
But the woman in the blue dress's preconceived notions about Lady Liu were somewhat challenged tonight.
"Xiaoying, you are still young and inexperienced, especially when you encounter people from outside the dynasty. You lack the experience to judge people."
Liu pulled the woman in the blue dress to sit down at an empty table on the second floor.
There was a hidden carved wall right next to it, from which you could see the first floor and also the table of "strangers".
"The girl was dressed in an ordinary dress, and it looked like it was covered in dirt, but the key thing was the sword at her waist."
Liu raised her eyes, and Xiaoying followed her gaze. Sure enough, she saw a sword as white as frost and snow at Qin Yiyao's waist, spotless and exquisitely crafted.
"That sword is a divine weapon of the Saint grade."
"A Saint-grade item?!"
Xiaoying stared in astonishment.
A divine weapon of the highest order?
The most prized treasure of the Sunfire Dynasty is merely a sacred item!
Xiao Ying could hardly believe it. That plain-dressed girl, who was at the same Nascent Soul stage as her, actually possessed such a treasure?!
"You heard that right."
Liu's gaze remained fixed on Qin Yiyao.
“Your cultivation is still shallow, and you have certainly never seen such a divine weapon up close, so you can’t tell. But I’m different. I’m also very certain that it is definitely a Saint-grade weapon, and its weapon spirit must be extremely perfect. It can probably reach the 'quasi-Emperor-grade' level.”
Xiaoying was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time. Of course, she knew how rare a Saint-grade item was. Many magic weapons below the "Upper Three Grades" were already considered rare treasures, let alone a Saint-grade item.
Not to mention quasi-emperors, which are even more unimaginable.
"So, which sect or family has nurtured this young lady as their chosen one?"
Xiaoying was stunned for a moment before suddenly asking a question.
Even a mere Nascent Soul cultivator can wield a sacred-grade sword.
She must come from an extremely powerful sect, and she must be a prodigy, otherwise she would not be qualified to wield a sacred item.
I just figured that out.
Xiaoying also understood that this girl's identity was even higher than that of the Sun Flame Emperor!
Emperor Riyan treasures the sacred sacrificial cauldron, while others, who are only at the Nascent Soul stage, possess sacred swords to use in combat. Isn't it obvious who has a more prestigious background?
"That's for sure. As for which powerful family she comes from, I don't know either."
Liu shook her head regretfully.
"As for that man, I can't sense any cultivation aura from him, but if that girl has such a background, that man is definitely not weak. He must be her protector!"
"Two very important people have come to my Yunxiang Pavilion tonight!"
