Upon seeing Ruan Jingshow, the group of female disciples all turned solemn and stood attentively.
"Senior Sister Ruan!"
"Greetings to Senior Sister Ruan!"
Among the greetings that followed one after another.
Ruan Jingshow nodded arrogantly, "This is Young Master Qi from the Heavenly Fire Divine Clan. Arrange a top-notch residence for him!"
"Yes! There’s a ’Heaven’ designated courtyard currently available. Young Master Qi can move in now!" The female disciple, who had just said there were no rooms available, now said with a face full of smiles.
Ruan Jingshow nodded, "Good, then lead the way now!"
"Yes!" The female disciple hurriedly responded, then suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Senior Sister Ruan, Chu Xiaoyun just arrived!"
"Hmm?" Ruan Jingshow startled upon hearing this.
Qi Hongbo, who had already turned to leave, couldn’t help stopping in his tracks and then turned around.
"Is this Chu Xiaoyun the woman we saw on the road?"
Ruan Jingshow dared not hide anything and could only nod in response, "Yes!"
Qi Hongbo’s lips curled up in a slight smile, "Interesting that she arrived even faster than me who controlled the Flying Boat!"
Then he spoke indifferently, "I just received some invitations from friends for a small gathering tonight at the Jade Banquet Pavilion. When the time comes, you should also invite this Chu Xiaoyun."
Ruan Jingshow bowed her head deeply, trying to hide the hatred in her eyes, yet still managed to say calmly, "Yes!"
"Right, also invite that young boy!"
"Understood!"
Qi Hongbo smiled, then strode away.
The moment he left, Ruan Jingshow raised her hand and fiercely slapped the female disciple.
"Bitch, was there a need for you to blabber?"
The female disciple, her face bleeding from the nose and mouth, didn’t even dare to wipe it off but only said with a crying tone, "Senior Sister Ruan, wasn’t it your previous instruction to us to report any new movements of this Chu Xiaoyun without delay?"
Ruan Jingshow was taken aback upon hearing this and remembered that she had indeed said those words.
But immediately, she became enraged again, raised her other hand, and slapped the female disciple once more, then harshly said, "You dare talk back when I speak?"
The female disciple, terrified, knelt on the ground with a thud, "Senior Sister Ruan, I was wrong, I won’t dare again!"
Ruan Jingshow sneered, "Where is this Chu Xiaoyun staying now?"
"Senior Sister Ruan, I arranged for her and the young boy she brought to stay in the Bing Character No. 7 Courtyard!"
"Bing Character Room... very good, well done!" Ruan Jingshow then nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.
The female disciple, who just got slapped twice for no good reason, finally let out a sigh of relief, then shot a resentful glance at Ruan Jingshow’s retreating figure.
The Bing Character Courtyard, located in a corner of Cursed City, indeed had subpar conditions, and was just passable.
Those arranged to stay here were all ordinary members of the Divine Clan, at the True God Level or even Demi-Divine Level, meaning not even a Half-step True Immortal.
As Xue An and Chu Xiaoyun stood in front of the Bing Character No. 7 Courtyard, many people looked at them with strange eyes.
Because even in this place, this courtyard was considered the most dilapidated.
Even the wooden door was crooked and seemed like it would fall off with just a push.
Xue An didn’t feel a bit about this.
But Chu Xiaoyun felt deeply ashamed.
She thought that given the young man’s prior conduct, facing such an invitation, he definitely wouldn’t dare to go.
So this invitation was said offhandedly, and then she turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, Xue An put down his teacup, and smiled slightly, "Oh? Inviting me as well?"
Ruan Jingshow was slightly taken aback, "Indeed! This occasion is a small gathering of Young Master Qi along with elite scions from noble families, you... "
Ruan Jingshow didn’t finish her sentence, but her implication was clear.
Those eligible to attend were individuals of extraordinary backgrounds; if he wanted to go, he needed to measure his own strength.
Yet, to her utter surprise, Xue An responded with a smile, "Then go back and tell your Young Master Qi, I will most definitely be there, and Miss Chu will join me too!"
"You..." Ruan Jingshow was choked with frustration but dared not say more, glaring hatefully at Xue An before turning to leave.
After she left, Chu Xiaoyun looked puzzled and asked, "Sir, why did you agree to this invitation? You know that this Young Master Qi surely does not have good intentions!"
Xue An smiled, "I know he doesn’t have good intentions, but there are still five days until the event. Just sitting around here, don’t you find it too dull? We should find something fun!"
If Qi Hongbo knew he had become a source of amusement for Xue An, he would probably be furious enough to vomit blood.
But at this moment, he sat contentedly on a cloud bed, enjoying a massage from several beautiful maids.
When Ruan Jingshow returned, he slightly looked up, "How did it go?"
Ruan Jingshow whispered, "They have agreed!"
Qi Hongbo laughed heartily, "Well done, I thought you might deliberately mess this up!"
Ruan Jingshow remained silent.
Qi Hongbo said indifferently, "Go get ready. Tonight at Jade Banquet Pavilion, I want no others present; I’ve booked the entire venue!"
