Chapter 912 - Somewhat Different
Chapter 912 Somewhat Different
Xie Jue stops talking in good time and doesn’t talk too much about the issue of Shao Shuai. After all, he has no idea how close Shao Shuai and Gao Ge are. If he talks too much, he will tend to annoy Gao Ge. Besides, he doesn’t mean to have a hearty talk with a slight acquaintance.
This time, quite some members of the Xie Family join the trip.
Apart from Xie Jue–the current master of the Xie Family, Lu Baishuang–Luqing’s son and two young men of the Xie Family are coming too. Xie Teng has gone back with Xie Fangyou.
Gao Ge doesn’t know that Xie Fangyou originally wanted to let Xie Teng join the trip to the sea of herbs for a trial but he feels that Xie Teng’s character is too displeasing. Xie Fangyou is worried that Xie Teng may piss off Gao Ge for ignorance so he perishes the thought.
The car stops at the gate of a hotel. The hotel happens to be situated at the foot of Mount Changbai. There have been quite some good cars parked at the gate.
“The boss of the hotel is also a cultivator, except that he is a rogue cultivator,” Xie Jue says, “He is a nice man. I’ve been here several times.”
“Okay,” Gao Ge takes a look and says, “There are quite some cultivators.”
“Haha. This is very normal. There are quite some hotels around Mount Changbai. Besides, they are a lot better than this hotel in terms of specification but this place is closest to the entrance to the sea of herbs.”
Gao Ge takes a tumble.
It seems that the customers in the hotel are mostly going into the sea of herbs.
“In here, most of the customers are from the blessed spots. Maybe there are one or two rogue cultivators or some sects but the people of the blessed spots must occupy a greater number,” Xie Jue says, “As to the reason, you know, not many people of the field of immortal cultivation know about the sea of herbs.”
Gao Ge says with a smile, “This is the tacit agreement of the families of the blessed spots, right?”
“Sort of,” Xie Jue says with a smile, “As to such a good place, the fewer people know about it, the better.”
Gao Ge nods and has no comment about it.
If he knows a good place, he won’t tell anyone but the people on his side.
After they enter the hotel, a middle-aged man walks toward them grinningly and acts nicely to Xie Jue. Besides, judging from their conversation, this man must be the owner of the hotel.
“Uncle Xie, I knew you would come here so I’ve specially reserved several rooms for you,” the middle-aged man says, “Plenty of people have come here recently!”
Xie Jue says laughingly, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. If it were not for your help before, my child would be dead,” the middle-aged man speaks and then sighs, “You’re my benefactor!”
Gao Ge is somewhat surprised. He didn’t expect that there should be such a story between Xie Jue and the hotel’s owner.
The rooms reserved for them are quite nice. They are all suites.
Shao Shuai is a bit tragic. He doesn’t have the cheek to take advantage of the Xie Family. After all, the Xie Family and the Shao Family are not on good terms. Luckily, there are still empty rooms in the hotel. Although a standard room costs ten thousand yuan per day, it is not a problem for him.
The hotel’s owner may raise the price in the peak season. Yet, this is business. There is nothing to be said against it.
Moreover, most of the people here are cultivators from blessed spots.
They don’t lack the money!
No blessed spots lack money.
Gao Ge hasn’t reached many blessed spots, but he is quite certain on this issue.
Even ordinary sects don’t lack money, let alone the blessed spots.
If they lack money, it will be a lot more difficult for them to cultivate…
Gao Ge, Lu Baishuang and Xie Jue stay in a suite while Xie Zhuolian and the two other young men of the Xie Family stay next door.
Having entered the room, Lu Baishuang makes tea for them. The tea leaves are brought by the Xie Family.
Gao Ge finds that both Xie Jue and Xie Fangyou–Xie Jue’s father have the habit of taking tea leaves with them.
Just like the wine of the Xie Family, the tea of the Xie Family is good stuff. Drinking the tea must be good for health. Of course Gao Ge can’t let go of the opportunity.
“Sovereign Gao, if you find the tea leaves not bad, how about me asking Zhuolian to send some more to the Star Sect after we go back?” Xie Jue says with a smile.
Gao Ge accepts his kindness, “Well, thank you then.”
Both Gao Ge and Xie Jue won’t regard some tea leaves as a big deal. Even if the tea leaves are of good quality, it will make him appear of low class to decline the offer with various excuses.
Shortly, Shao Shuai comes to knock on the door.
“Good timing. Come and have a cup of tea,” Xie Jue says to Shao Shuai with a smile.
Shao Shuai directly expresses his thanks and sits next to Gao Ge.
“Young Master Shao…”
“Don’t, Master Xie, just call me Shao Shuai.” Shao Shuai hastens to wave his hand, “Or I wouldn’t dare to drink the tea.”
Xie Jue bursts into laughter and doesn’t look like a senior at all.
Lu Baishuang pours a cup of tea for Shao Shuai. Shao Shuai takes the tea with both hands, takes a sip of it and smacks his lips.
“The tea leaves of the Xie Family are nice indeed!”
“Haha. After we go back, I will have some delivered to the Shao Family,” Xie Jue says.
Well, he is quite generous.
Shao Shuai replies with clasped hands, “Thank you then.”
Then, Shao Shuai puts down the teacup and changes the topic, “Master Xie, don’t you feel somewhat strange?”
“Oh?” Xie Jue is taken aback, “Like what?”
“At other times, if you came here, there should be quite some people coming to visit you. After all, many people of the blessed spots know you,” Shao Shuai says with laughter.
Xie Jue narrows his eyes and says nothing.
“My previous friends didn’t even greet me when they saw me. Actually, I know the reason. Master Xie, you are not worried at all, are you?” Shao Shuai asks.
Gao Ge understands what he means.
In the past, Xie Jue’s room should be filled with people at the moment. There must be quite some people wanting to deal with the Xie Family.
However, it is different now.
The greatest difference lies in Gao Ge.
What happened at the opening ceremony of the Star Sect makes the people of the blessed spots displeased with Gao Ge.
Gao Ge doesn’t care at all.
It’s not like those people will acknowledge the Star Sect approvingly if they like Gao Ge.
There is no boundary between enemies and friends.
For example, if it were Gao Ge rather than Liu Zhongyi who eradicated the Poison Sect and dealt a heavy blow to the Wu Family and the Joyoung Sect, those people would come to fawn upon Gao Ge now.
Respect is earned by oneself.
