“What’s your plan? It’s less than seven days before the Wulin Assembly starts. The people from various sects should already arrive in the city. We aren’t really early-arrivers.” Jiu Dengdan sucked his teeth, wondering how he could spend the following days comfortably when the best hotels were all reserved.

On the way here, Luo Yi had learned how voluble Jiu Dengdan could be, so now he could just roast him to himself. Jiu Dengdan was obviously a master cultivator, but there was nothing in his demeanor that could show it. Instead, there was a strong bearing of a country man. Just an ordinary man indeed.

The ordinary man in Luo Yi’s eyes, at this moment, was looking with desire at the best restaurant here Qingxian Restaurant, but couldn’t get in, because it had been booked already. “Why didn’t you make any preservations before you set off? It’s such a pity if we can’t go there and experience everything.”

Du Chuxuan felt three black lines hung down over his head and didn’t care to stay with him, “Or let’s go to our own residence. I don’t believe this plan will work out.” He rested his head on Yuxing Tianrui’s shoulder. All the way up here, they rode on the same horse and never separated even when they galloped in a hurry.

“Though the residence have more than enough rooms, we’ll be separated from the multitude. Only staying with the people can we get news. The news Sect Luo collects can’t be as fresh as those we hear for ourselves.” Yuxing Tianrui pursed his lips and insisted. Du Chuxuan just made a casual suggestion, and since Yuxing Tianrui insisted, he wouldn’t refute.

Therefore, when Jiu Dengdan saw Du Chuxuan taking out a token from his pocket, he was shocked utterly, “It’s actually a property of the Du family! Oh my dear heaven. Your Highness, you really marries a valuable wife. That’s a sugar daddy!”

There are properties of the Du family all across the country in every industry, including restaurants in some places and hospitals in others. The kind of token Du Chuxuan took out was only accessible to a few close relatives of the family, so once it was presented, the manager was stunned briefly.

“You don’t have to know what you shouldn’t.” Du Chuxuan snorted, the manner of a person born to be wealthy appearing.

The manager understood that he was a Du and quickly invited them in, “Please wait a minute, lord. I’m arranging best rooms for you.” He had been a hotel manager in Xiangyang for a long time and saw a Du of the direct line of descent for the first time, so he was somewhat nervous.

“Manager, what do you mean? Didn’t you say that there aren’t room available?” Seeing the manager hand a bunch of keys to Du Chuxuan, a burly man suddenly popped out.

They had also just arrived in Xiangyang and seen that other places were all booked out and even a regular room charged a surprisingly high price. With the last trace of hope, they came here to check. They had been told no rooms were available, but how come this pretty-looking man get rooms as soon as he got in?

He instantly drew out the giant axe on his back and dropped it on the reception desk, “Fool me around? Ask for agreement from my axe!”

The manager was an ordinary person, but he had much experience as such. Not to mention the fact that Miss. Du was the Crown Princess, the Du family itself was an imperial merchant. With these two identities, nearly no one dared to stir troubles in any of Du’s properties. If the manager was intimidated by this, he really should have been replaced by another one.

“You misunderstood me, sir. This lord holds Du’s token, which represents a real Du. Certainly, he’s different from other guests. In fact, regular rooms have indeed booked out. The rooms I gave our lord are specially reserve rooms only for Dus.”

The manager was telling the truth. Any hotel under the Du family would reserve exclusive rooms, and whether the hotel had a good turnover or not, the rooms wouldn’t be used for business. The aim was to provide convenience for Dus. It was the same case with the hospitals. As long as one had the token, one would have the opportunity of being treated in an exclusive room.

The burly man flushed and took an indignant glance at Du Chuxuan, but however unfair he felt, he didn’t dare to say more. He had asked the question because he hadn’t known Du Chuxuan’s identity, but once he did, he certainly wouldn’t want to mess up with a Du.

Truly he wouldn’t do anything, but he hated it as he liked. There would inevitably be some frictions or minor conflicts when they met on the street. However, this had nothing to do with Du Chuxuan, because now he only wanted to lie down and take a good rest.

Knowing the guests were Dus, even the waiter worked with special care. It was a suit on the top floor of the hotel, which, besides the main room, contained other smaller rooms for servants, which made it convenient for Jiu Dengdan and Luo Yi.

“From tomorrow, there will be matches between some sects in the Qingshan Temple. These matches are preliminary ones and won’t affect the final results.” Yuxing Tianrui said in a calm tone. Luo Yi had collected the information in details, but Du Chuxuan was too lazy to read it.

“Sect Luo may take a try.” Du Chuxuan was lying on the bed, holding a piece of cake and humming, “You know, if Manluo intends to take the championship, the best way is to push Sect Luo to the prominence.”

Yuxing Tianrui didn’t speak, but Du Chuxuan knew what he was hesitating. After all, both of them were imperial members now, and if the Emperor chanced to know the existence of Sect Luo, they had to face the consequences.

Du Chuxuan cocked his head to one side and glanced at Yuxing Tianrui, “Sometimes you’re too cautious.” He didn’t know why his little tsundere prince was so frivolous. He was capable of dealing with court stuff or powers with ease, but always daunted in a case this.

Yuxing Tianrui pressed his lips into a line and didn’t gave Du Chuxuan a reply. He was clear of what was in Du Chuxuan’s mind, but once Sect Luo stood out, a leader must be clarified. He didn’t want Du Chuxuan to take the risks, a thought which made him feel increasingly incompetent.

Knowing that Yuxing Tianrui was struggling against himself, Du Chuxuan gave a helpless sigh.
