Chapter 0829: Treatment of a Distinguished Guest

Chapter 0829: VIP Treatment

Although Bai Kexian did not know Qin Yun’s identity, she was certain he was a VIP. However, she refrained from prying.

After all, not just any rich kid could casually carry over 10B purple crystal coins with them.

Among those staying at the Dragon Tree Pavilion, few possessed wealth in the billions, and most were elders. Other youths might have billion-coin cards, but they couldn’t spend them freely—otherwise, they’d have a hard time explaining it when they returned.

Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei each received a pass, allowing them to pass through the barrier with ease.

Bai Kexian personally attended to Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei, leading them to a prime suite in the Dragon Tree Pavilion. Inside were several spacious rooms and private rooms, along with halls of varying sizes, bathing pools, and washrooms—all fully equipped. One of the halls even housed exotic plants that emitted a calming scent.

"What makes our Dragon Tree Pavilion unique is that the entire building is constructed from the wood of an ancient dragon tree, hollowed from a single giant trunk!" Bai Kexian, knowing Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei were unfamiliar with the place, quickly explained.

"An ancient dragon tree? The kind even Immortals covet?" Xiao Yuemei blurted out. "Rumor has it ancient dragon trees were often used by dragons to build their nests. A single tree could be enormous, reaching miles high!"

"Indeed!" Bai Kexian nodded with a smile.

"Manager Bai, what’s the rate for this suite?" Qin Yun asked.

"It’s on the house!" Bai Kexian replied with a gentle smile.

Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei were both astonished. They had assumed Bai Kexian had brought them to an expensive place, never expecting it to be free of charge.

"Free? Doesn’t that mean the Dragon Tree Pavilion earns nothing?" Xiao Yuemei said skeptically. "Is there some fine print? Sometimes, the things that seem free end up being the most costly!"

"Actually, any distinguished guest with a purple crystal card holding over 10B coins enjoys complimentary food and lodging at the Dragon Tree Pavilion!" Bai Kexian chuckled. "Please, both of you, feel free to stay without worry. If you need anything, you can contact me directly using these communication shells!"

She handed Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei each a shell.

The two still found it hard to believe—it felt like a windfall.

After Bai Kexian left, Xiao Yuemei stored away her shell and giggled, "Brother, let’s go eat something! Since it’s free… hehe, I won’t hold back!"

"You brat!" Qin Yun laughed. "Let’s change clothes first. It’s safe here—no need for armor."

The clothes they wore had been crafted by Qin Yun long ago, not only offering strong defense but also embedded with Runes that provided healing effects.

Xiao Yuemei changed into a light-blue dress, tying her hair into twin ponytails, giving off a fresh and lively charm.

Qin Yun, meanwhile, dressed in plain white robes, appearing as a serious-looking young man with a pasted-on beard and a black folding fan in hand.

"Yuemei, why would the Dragon Tree Pavilion offer free stays to those with 10B coins? What’s their motive?" Qin Yun pondered aloud.

"I think the owner wants to befriend high rollers. Not just anyone carries 10B purple crystal coins. Even many Martial Kings and Emperor Wus might have that much, but it’s not necessarily their own wealth," Xiao Yuemei speculated.

Qin Yun found her reasoning plausible. Those with massive wealth were usually powerful and held high status.

Xiao Yuemei and Qin Yun left their suite—they were staying on the thirtieth floor—and descended to the seventh.

The seventh floor was known as the Fruit Floor, offering a variety of fruits.

Xiao Yuemei loved fruits, and as soon as she arrived, she saw transparent cabinets filled with colorful fruits of all shapes and sizes. She was practically drooling.

Qin Yun couldn’t help but laugh. Despite having awakened memories of her past life, Xiao Yuemei still acted like a child when it came to food.

She presented her pass—Bai Kexian had assured them it would cover all expenses.

Though everything was free, Xiao Yuemei kept it reasonable. She merely took about a dozen of each fruit.

After collecting the fruits, Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei went to the tenth floor.

Bai Kexian had sent them a message, saying that there was a banquet being held on the tenth floor, and many high-status guests would be there.

When Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei arrived, they saw mostly middle-aged and older folks, with only a few youths present.

"It's those punks!" Xiao Yuemei spotted the youths who had mocked them at the entrance.

Those youths also noticed them.

Standing in front of those youths was a handsome young man dressed in opulent purple robes, who also cast a glance in their direction.

Bai Kexian quickly approached as well, her stately white gown sweeping the floor, adorned with delicate hairpieces and fine jewelry. Clearly, she had dressed up meticulously, radiating nobility yet still graceful.

"Greetings, Manager Bai!" Xiao Yuemei greeted promptly.

"Miss Xiao, Young Lord Yun, hello!" Bai Kexian said with a smile as she walked over.

Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei were using aliases.

At that moment, the handsome purple-robed youth stalked over with a few cocky youths trailing behind.

"Young Lord Yun, you must be someone of great background. May I ask which major family or sect you hail from?" The purple-robed youth asked with a phony smile.

"I am the sect master of the Mystic Runes Sect, Yun Qiwen!" Qin Yun replied calmly.

A sect master, of all things!

Bai Kexian and the youths who had mocked Qin Yun earlier were skeptical, especially since it was some "Mystic Runes Sect."

"Mystic Runes Sect? And you're the sect master? This sect sounds related to strange runes—does that mean you understand them?" The purple-robed youth's eyes lit up as he asked.

"I dabble in it," Qin Yun said.

Bai Kexian quickly introduced the purple-robed man's identity, whispering, "Sect Master Yun... this gentleman is the chief disciple of the Soaring Wind Immortal Sect in Tenglong Province, Feng Wuqiu! He recently became a Martial King, one of Tenglong’s rare young Martial Kings."

Feng Wuqiu's smugness played across his face, as this was indeed something to boast about.

"My humble apologies for failing to recognize you!" Qin Yun quickly clasped his hands and laughed.

"Sect Master Yun, where is your Mystic Runes Sect located, and what rank does it hold?" Feng Wuqiu pressed further, very interested in Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei, especially since his underlings had suffered a minor setback earlier.

"Our Mystic Runes Sect is on the Northern Glory Star in the sky. As for rank... perhaps it's not even on the rankings!" Qin Yun chuckled.

Xiao Yuemei simply munched on fruit while keeping an eye on things, occasionally glaring at those youths.

Feng Wuqiu was clearly itching for a fight, but Qin Yun wasn’t playing along.

Bai Kexian quickly interjected, "Sect Master Yun, our boss will arrive shortly. He said he has an important announcement to make!"

Qin Yun glanced around at the people present—each worth at least a billion purple crystal coins, making them extremely wealthy.

Boss Long didn’t bring all these big shots together for nothing.

Feng Wuqiu said, "Boss Long hasn't arrived yet! Since we're bored here, and Brother Yun is young with modest cultivation, yet the sect master of a minor sect, you must have some remarkable qualities... You must have at least two billion purple crystal coins on you, right? Where did you get so many?"

Feng Wuqiu deliberately raised his voice so everyone could hear.

The elders paid little mind to petty squabbles among youths.

The two young men in conflict now are both of unusually high status.

Feng Wuqiu is known to everyone here; after all, his achievement of becoming a Martial King at such a young age made waves in Tenglong State. As for the other, though not a Martial King, he claims to be the sect master of some Mystic Glyph Sect and possesses two billion purple crystal coins—enough to demand respect.

Keep in mind that many Martial Kings and even Emperor Wu barely have over a billion.

"Well, to be honest, I had a lucky streak—I won them at a gambling house!" Qin Yun answered truthfully, having indeed won tens of billions.

"To win that many purple crystal coins, you must be riding one hell of a lucky streak. You up for a wager?" Feng Wuqiu chuckled.

"How much and how?" Qin Yun asked.

Xiao Yuemei could practically see a huge pile of purple crystal coins coming Qin Yun's way.

"I'll wager a billion purple crystal coins, betting that you know nothing about mystic glyphs and are no sect master of any Mystic Glyph Sect!" Feng Wuqiu sneered. "You two are obviously nothing but swindlers!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuemei burst out laughing, because it did seem that way.

"The boss is here!" Bai Kexian suddenly called out, relieved as she saw a tall, devilishly handsome man in black enter.

The black-clad man who walked in was strikingly handsome, with a pair of mustaches and bright, piercing eyes. Though dressed plainly, his formidable aura made it impossible to underestimate him.

Some women in the hall whispered praises.

"Boss Long, after staying at Dragon Tree Pavilion for so long, we finally meet you!" an elder hurried over, all smiles—an Emperor Wu, no less.

"Brother Long, I was just about to gamble with this kid. Be our witness!" Feng Wuqiu said.

Bai Kexian went over and filled in Boss Long on the situation.

Boss Long seemed already aware that Qin Yun had billions in purple crystal coins. Regardless of their origin, such a guest was valuable. He smiled and said, "Brother Feng, do me this solid and let this matter drop."

Feng Wuqiu retorted, "I, Feng Wuqiu, am a man of justice! These two have two excellent sets of armor and a vast amount of purple crystal coins. I suspect they either robbed or swindled them!"

"That kid even claims to be the sect master of some Mystic Glyph Sect. Do you believe that? Clearly, they're lying. I'll bet my last coin they snuck in here to peddle fake goods and cheat us out of our purple crystal coins!"

Qin Yun didn’t know why Feng Wuqiu was so fixated on him, but he wasn’t the least bit afraid. Smiling, he said, "Boss Long, I don't take kindly to accusations. Since someone doubts my identity as a sect master, I’ll have to prove it with facts!"
