“Innkeeper, three upper rooms!”
At this moment, I was standing at the entrance of the largest inn in Li City, briefly surveying the environment before striding to the innkeeper and speaking loudly.
After floating on the river for almost half a month, my feet could finally touch solid ground, and I was so relieved!
Little did I know the innkeeper was focused on clicking his abacus, not even lifting his head, and directly responded: “Sorry, our inn is full. Please find another inn to stay.”
What… full?
I had traveled through half of Li City, and this inn was the most upscale. Of course, I wanted the best accommodation, and anyway, I wasn’t spending my own money!
Hearing the innkeeper say it was full, I was frustrated!
Looking at the inn’s scale, decorations, and layout, it doesn’t seem like a place just anyone could afford to stay. Plus, it’s not even peak travel season, so how could it be full?
Looking around, the shop is quiet and empty, with no sign of many guests. Could this old man be afraid I can’t afford to stay?
I casually pulled out a handful of silver notes from my sleeve and threw them in front of the innkeeper, declaring: “No matter what, I’m staying here!”
This time, the innkeeper’s face finally showed an expression, his gaze moving from the account book, looking up with a much more courteous attitude: “I’m truly sorry, our small shop has been booked by a guest these days and really has no spare rooms to accommodate you!”
Wow! Booked out?
I nudged Xi Lin Yan standing behind me and teased: “I wonder what big shot it is, maybe they’re even richer than you!”
He unapologetically knocked me on the head, giving me a warning look. I glared back, then turned and took out the token I had prepared, waving it in front of the innkeeper: “What about with this?”
The innkeeper’s pupils instantly dilated, immediately walking out from behind the counter: “So you’re the new housekeeper Xin from Si Yi Fortress, this small one didn’t recognize you, please don’t take offense!”
