Ning Cheng pointed to the bar on it and said, “Article 61 of the Star Treading House lease, the right to use the room belongs to the guest until the guest has checked out and owes the rent. In the absence of special circumstances, the guest has the right to renew the lease first. Article 75, the guest can protest by their own means if the rest house has rude demands on the guest.
This fellow committed two articles one after the other, so I protested in my own way. My way was simple, a slap on the wrist. By the way, it was this fellow who told me to read this law. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known about the two articles. My guess is that he knowingly committed them and should have been owed a beating.”
When the middle-aged male cultivator heard Ning Cheng’s words, he immediately frowned and stared at the fellow with cold eyes and asked, “What is going on?”
Xin Xiu had seen this middle-aged male cultivator and knew that this was the Star Treading House’s deacon. She had long been anxious, and without waiting for this fellow to answer, she took the initiative to say, “I wanted to renew the lease for the room, and he wouldn’t allow me to do so, and that’s why this happened.”
This fellow was only a middle Eternal, Xin Xiu had been staying here for most of the year with an injured person, he naturally knew that Xin Xiu was a casual cultivator who could be bullied at will. However, he did not expect Ning Cheng and Xin Xiu to come out together, yet he dared to beat him up and make a big deal out of it.
The fellow stammered, and the middle-aged male cultivator had long since understood what was going on. It looked like what the two cultivators, a man and a woman, said was true, but even if it was true, if he dared to beat up the fellow at the Star Treading House, he would definitely not stop just like that.
“My Star Treading House has been in Tian Su Holy City for tens of thousands of years and has always been number one in reputation. The matter of rent renewal will naturally not be a problem as long as you do not owe any rent. However, just because a guest can go through with it on their own doesn’t mean they can beat someone up at my Star Treading House.” The middle-aged male cultivator’s tone suddenly became cold and stern, and a harsh killing intent rushed towards Ning Cheng and Xin Xiu.
Xin Xiu’s cultivation level was low, and was invaded by this kind of killing machine. He instantly winced.
With a raise of his hand, Ning Cheng waved away this killing machine and said in an equally somewhat cold tone. “In that case, only your Star Treading House fellows are allowed to hit us. We are not allowed to fight back?”
“My Star Treading Tower’s fellows beating you guys?” The middle-aged male cultivator immediately frowned as he had a hunch that this matter did not seem to be so simple.
Xin Xiu hurriedly said, “Yes, I wanted to come to renew the lease, and this fellow not only did not allow me to renew the lease, he even scolded me and then slapped me.”
Seeing the middle-aged male cultivator’s ruthless eyes sweeping over, the fellow also shuddered. There was no way to deny this kind of thing. There were a lot of people in the hall, and it was easy to find human witnesses.
“Deacon Huang, yes, it is ……” the fellow stammered, unable to say anything after half a day.
“Oh, Deacon Huang, long time no see.” A young man in brown suddenly walked over and greeted the middle-aged male cultivator with a cupped fist and a smile.
When the middle-aged male cultivator called Deacon Huang saw the brown-clothed young man, the frost on his face instantly melted away and turned into a face full of smiles. “So it’s Saint Ji’s son who is here, welcome.”
Ji Saint Son’s eyes swept a glance at Ning Cheng and Xin Xiu before he said to Deacon Huang. “If Deacon Huang wants to blame it, he should blame me, this fellow is also doing me a favour. It’s like this, the sixth room in Domain A, is the one I stayed in back then. This time, I’m revisiting Tian Su Holy City, so I still want to stay in this room.”
Deacon Huang instantly understood that the man and woman causing trouble were definitely staying in the sixth room in Domain A. The fellow did not allow the woman to renew her lease, so it should be because her lease had expired and the fellow wanted to withdraw the room to Ji Pingzhong. Ji Pingzhong was the fourth strongest of the twelve sons of Tai Su. Not only was he superb in his own right, he also had a powerful force behind him. He was a small deacon. He really could not afford to offend him.
Thinking of this, Deacon Huang turned his gaze towards Ning Cheng. “This guest, if you are willing to move out of the sixth room of Domain A, I will refund your previous room fee double.”
Ning Cheng sighed in his heart, he knew that it was impossible for him to stay here even if he wanted to. It was okay for him to take advantage of the situation and fight a fellow, if he fought with the deacon here, then he wouldn’t be able to get away. This Deacon Huang definitely didn’t know that Xin Xiu had lived here for most of the year, so let’s see his face when he double refunded him later.
Ning Cheng didn’t go on about renewing the lease and said directly, “Yes, return it now, we can move out tomorrow.”
“Give them a double refund of the divine crystals, it will be on my head then.” Deacon Huang drank to the mate.
The mate said in a trembling voice, “She’s lived there for most of the year, double divine crystals is more than five million ……”
“What?” Deacon Huang almost vomited blood, more than five million divine crystals, even he was still hurt. What’s more, the Great Tai Su Competition was about to start, it was the time when all kinds of good things were pouring into the Holy City, he was in need of a lot of divine crystals, how could he possibly give away so much at once.
Deacon Huang was eager for Ji Pingzhong to come forward and say that he would pay for these divine crystals. But Ji Pingzhong didn’t even bother to move, clearly not wanting to offer. Or maybe he didn’t even see this Deacon Huang in his eyes.
“This fellow Daoist, you have stayed for too long. I can only refund your room fee for ten days, what do you think?” Even if it was a slap in his own face, Deacon Huang would not agree to pay five million divine crystals to Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng laughed coldly, “It looks like the Star Treading House is also just a place that bullies its guests, where promises are like farts and posturing. If you don’t have the ability to do so, don’t hang a bar to disgust people.”
The immediate loss could never be eaten, Ning Cheng was ready to take Xin Xiu and Wu Qihong and leave the place. One day in the future, he would come back to seek revenge.
This Deacon Huang had long been unhappy with Ning Cheng, and now that Ning Cheng was so nonchalant, he was even more determined to teach Ning Cheng a lesson.
Before he could open his mouth to teach Ning Cheng a lesson, an icy cold voice had already appeared in the hall, “My Star Treading House has always been customer first, always aiming to be as welcoming as possible, and never bullying customers into making promises indiscriminately. Since the Stargazer has laid down the rules and regulations, it is just like the laws of the country. As long as the rent obligation is fulfilled, any customer has the rights stipulated here”
Ning Cheng was dumbfounded, why was this sentence so familiar? He even felt like he was talking to an earthling, except on earth, the word law had never been replaced with law in the places he had experienced. Not only that, it was the customers, obligations and rights and whatnot that sounded both familiar and unfamiliar.
These thoughts quickly disappeared from Ning Cheng’s mind as he saw a woman in black with a veil on her face suddenly appear in the hall. What shocked Ning Cheng’s heart was that he could not see this black-clothed woman’s cultivation level at all. The aura on this woman’s body was even more terrifying than that of Barbarian Jiu Ren, it could be described as being as vast as a sea of smoke.
There was such a terrifying expert in an interest building, Ning Cheng was sure that this woman would only need even a small finger to kill him.
“May I ask if senior is?” Facing such a powerful person, Ning Cheng did not dare to make the slightest mistake.
The woman in black said in a light voice, “My surname is Nie, and I own this Rest House, so tell me the details of the conflict just now.”
Ning Cheng did not exaggerate or narrow down as he told the original story of what had just happened.
After listening to Ning Cheng’s words, the woman in black swept her cold eyes at Deacon Huang and the fellow and said in a cold tone, “You will all get out of the Star Treading House now and will no longer be part of my Star Treading House in the future.”
After saying that, she said to the other fellow, “Help these two customers with the lease renewal procedure, everything will come up according to the rules and regulations.”
Ning Cheng hadn’t even expected things to be so simple, and Deacon Huang and the fellow he had beaten didn’t even dare to say a word as they withdrew from the resting building hall in silence.
Ji Sage frowned slightly as he stepped forward and cupped his fist and said, “Desolate God Palace Ji Pingzhong has met Senior Nie.”
“What is it?” The woman in black’s tone softened a little.
Ji Pingzhong was a little upset in his heart, facing the Twelve Sons of Tai Su, a master of the Resting House shouldn’t use such a flat tone, let alone someone from the Desolate God Palace.
“I would like to stay in the sixth room of the A domain of the Star Treading House ……”
Without waiting for Lieutenant General Ji Ping to finish his sentence, the woman in black said indifferently, “Since you want to move in, go to the counter and complete the formalities. There is no need to talk to me about such matters.”
Ji Pingzhong took a breath, his tone slightly stiff as he looked at Ning Cheng and said, “The sixth room in Domain A is the room they want to renew ……”
Ning Cheng had not dragged Ji Pingzhong in when he was narrating the reason earlier. He knew that in such matters, the smaller the forces involved, the better for him. Now that Ji Pingzhong’s words were spoken, the woman in black instantly understood and why Deacon Huang wanted Ning Cheng to check out of his room.
Her gaze looked towards Ji Pingzhong, the calmness in her eyes vanished without a trace, and her tone once again turned cold as she said, “Get lost, no one can make drive a guest of my Star Treading House away.”
Ji Pingzhong’s face turned pale, no one had ever dared to tell him to get lost in front of him. His face turned blue and white as he gave the woman in black another casual arch and said, “I will bring senior’s words back to my Desolate God Palace in their original form.”
The woman in black stared icily at Ji Pingzhong, “If you don’t get lost, I will have both of your legs scrapped.”
Ji Pingzhong dared not continue to nag and walked out of the Star Treading Building with an iron face.
Ning Cheng was about to thank the woman in black, but he found that the woman in black who had appeared just now had long since disappeared without a trace, and even he did not know when the woman in black had disappeared. The space around him did not fluctuate in the slightest, as if it had disappeared like air.
At this moment, Ning Cheng did not even want to stay here, this woman in black was too scary. If he did something in the room, would he be able to hide it from this woman? He turned back and saw that Xin Xiu had long since renewed her lease for two months, so he had to say, “Let’s go up, try not to come out if there is nothing going on.”
……
After returning to his room, Ning Cheng sat in silence for a long time. He even wondered if the woman surnamed Nie was from Earth, like him. However, the terrifying strength of that woman cultivator made him put his doubts to rest.
Just in case, Ning Cheng repeatedly put dozens of prohibitions on his room, and then laid down a dozen more formations, before settling down a little.
Despite this, he had no intention of revealing any information about the Xuanhuang Pearl in his room. There was still a month to go before the Grand Competition, and he still had a lot of things to do. Apart from deciphering the bracelet of the Minkong Dan Sage, there was still a sliver of divine consciousness in his sea of consciousness that did not belong to him, and he had to drive this sliver of divine consciousness out.
