“Don't think too much of us. We are only here because of the zither competition that will be held in this city, ” Elder Xuan said to the guards with a friendly expression.
"of course. The majority of the people who came to the city these past few days were only here for the competition. Are you going to participate or just watch, Senior? ” The guard then asked.
"My disciples will participate in the zither competition," Elder Xuan replied.
"I understand. Then please accept this. This is a small gift from our city for those who will participate in the competition. ”
The guard suddenly showed them a small gold medal, and he continued, “If you go to the Royal Blossom Hotel and show them this token, he said, you will receive a room to stay until you decide to leave town”free, of course.”
"Oh? It was very generous from this city. I will definitely thank the ruler of this place when I get the chance, ” Elder Xuan said with a smile on his face.
“Thank you, Senior!” The guard bowed respectfully to him.
Of course, the city did not distribute these tokens to just anyone who decided to participate in a competition like candy and only a prestigious or powerful background like the Dragon Essence Temple would accept them, especially if their Grand Elder was there.
After receiving the gold medal, Elder Xuan entered another city.
“Have you booked a hotel for us, Elder Shan? If not, we can head to the Royal Blossom Hotel for our room as it will be difficult for us to find an empty room now.” Elder Xuan asked him.
“Of course. I am not competent. However, the Royal Blossom Hotel is definitely a much better place than the hotel I booked, so we can act as if I didn't book a room for us.” Elder Shan said, making them dumbfounded.
“B-Well Since that's the case, we'll head to Royal Blossom Hotel instead.” Elder Xuan said.
“Then follow me. I am quite familiar with this city since I have been here several times, ” Elder Shan said as he took back the lead from Elder Xuan and began leading the others to the Royal Blossom Hotel.
"Wow! Look at that group of fairies! I have never seen such a beautiful woman in my life!”
"Shoppers! I wouldn't ask for anything else in my life if I could have a woman who was even half beautiful from one of them!”
The pedestrians in the city stopped whatever they were doing to stare at Elder Shan and the female disciples with enchanted expressions on their bewildered faces after noticing their presence.
“Why don't you try to get close to them? Maybe you'll be lucky. ”
"You crazy? Look at their uniforms! They are from the Dragon Essence Temple! And judging from their aura, they were truly powerful experts! If you don't appreciate your life, go ahead and approach them!”
A while later, Elder Shan stopped walking in front of a tall and large building that not only filled the entire street but was also surrounded by beautiful cherry blossoms.
"Wow..A very beautiful place," Yuan muttered with a puzzled expression on his face, feeling fascinated by the cherry blossoms.
“Welcome to Royal Blossom Hotel, honored guest of Dragon Essence Temple.”
A dozen waiters greeted them as they entered the building, almost like the hotel was expecting their arrival.
Elder Shan did not act too surprised about this and showed them the medal.
"How many rooms do we get with this?" Elder Shan asked them afterwards.
One of the workers there immediately replied, “Usually, you will be allowed to have up to five rooms, but due to the upcoming competition that led to the influx of guests, we can only leave two rooms. However, each room can accommodate up to four people. We apologize for the inconvenience."
“You don't have to apologize. After all, we can not complain about something given to us for free.” Said Elder Shan.
He then turned to look at Yuan and the others.
“Let's see We have six of us but only two rooms” two male and four female. I guess it's obvious how we should divide the rooms. ”
Elder Shan then pointed to the female disciple and said, "The three of you can stay in one room, and I will stay with Elder Xuan and Disciple Yuan."
“Eh?”
Everyone there looked at Elder Shan with a gawking expression.
“Ehem!” Elder Xuan cleared his throat a moment later and said, “ Elder Shan, wouldn't it make more sense for you to join three female disciples rather than join us” two males? After all, each room can load four people.”
“Why force four people into one room when we can share the room evenly and have more space? It's a no brain." Elder Shan replied in a clear voice, her beautiful face without the slightest bit of shame or embarrassment, and he continued, "And I don't mind sharing a room with you two because I'm sure nothing will happen."
"Are you sure of that? While I am also confident that none of us will do anything, I cannot say the same for you, Elder Shan. ” Elder Xuan said with narrowed eyes. “But since you want to share the room evenly, my grandson can stay in the same room with us.”
Elder Shan's brows twitched after hearing Elder Xuan's return.
Meanwhile, Xuan Wuhan's heart was racing, and he could already imagine sleeping in the same room as Yuan, perhaps even in the same bed!
“Why are you making this so difficult, Elder Xuan? Let the students be together. However, since Disciple Yuan cannot sleep with the others for obvious reasons, he can stay with us, the elders.” Elder Shan said after a moment of silence.
Elder Xuan raised his eyebrows and said in an ordinary voice, “Why not? After all this is not the first time they have slept in the same place.”
"W-What did you just say?" Elder Shan's eyes immediately widened in shock, and he looked at Elder Xuan with disbelief on his face.
