"After three months?"
Lu Fan was slightly taken aback. "That means we have to wait for three months? Is there no other way?"
"Naturally, there isn't. Students who come to Glazed City can stay at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion for free. You don't need to be too polite; this is a benefit from the academy!" Elder Wuming chuckled lightly.
"Thank you for the reminder, senior!"
Lu Fan clasped his hands slightly. Although disappointed, he couldn't say anything more. After all, even this senior had said so, and if he were to ask again, it would likely be extremely inappropriate.
Not long after, their figures arrived at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. Inside, many other figures were present. These were powerhouses from the Central Continent, as well as scions of noble families, all preparing to enter the Central Continent Academy.
Those who could stay at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion were all aiming for the Central Continent Academy.
"I didn't expect to be staying at the same inn as them!"
Hu Yu cast a glance, feeling somewhat displeased. In his opinion, neither Lu Fan nor Ghost Shadow were good people. Staying with them would inevitably lead to trouble.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Hu Xian'er gave him a look. She knew very well that offending Lu Fan would not end well, and it would undoubtedly be a disaster for them.
Lu Fan hadn't made a move against them because he was afraid of not being able to enter the Central Continent Academy. If that weren't the case, Lu Fan would have already acted, not caring about anything else.
"Are you also going to enter the Central Continent Academy?"
At this moment, a voice sounded from not far away. A man looked towards Lu Fan with a rather indifferent expression. "To enter the Central Continent Academy, you must stay at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. However, this Drunken Immortal Pavilion is owned by my family, so if you wish to stay, you must offer enough stakes!"
"What do you mean by that?"
Lu Fan was somewhat bewildered. Hu Xian'er also looked surprised, as they had clearly heard Elder Wuming say that the Drunken Immortal Pavilion would not charge any fees. Yet, it seemed that was not the case now.
"You few are really blind! This is the young master of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, named Huo Dong!"
Several men beside him introduced. "Quickly take out everything valuable you have, lest you be expelled from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, which would be a loss indeed!"
"When we came earlier, Elder Wuming already said that we don't need to pay anything to enter the Drunken Immortal Pavilion!"
Lu Fan shrugged and said, "Since that's the case, why should we hand over our belongings?"
"You can't hear what I'm saying, can you?"
Huo Dong's expression instantly turned cold. "This is Glazed City. No one dares to offend me, and no one dares to defy me. If anyone dares to be ignorant of their limits and act presumptuously before me, they will die a terrible death!"
"There are laws everywhere. I don't believe there's anything you can do!"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. "If you violate the academy's rules, even you will likely face sanctions!"
"Why don't you ask around? How many people in all of Glazed City dare to cause trouble for me!"
Huo Dong said coldly, "You might be the first. Since you don't intend to hand over your things, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Facing these words, Lu Fan's expression remained indifferent. He wanted to see how Huo Dong intended to be impolite.
"We're all just trying to get by, why make things difficult?"
Hu Xian'er spoke up, "I have two Saint Artifacts here, consider them as our accommodation fees!"
Seeing Hu Xian'er holding something, Huo Dong was slightly taken aback. He took them over and said to Hu Xian'er, "Are you with him?"
"We're from the same place, so we're sort of on the same side!"
Hu Xian'er nodded. "Can we check in now?"
"Since you've already paid, you can stay!" Huo Dong nodded slightly, his gaze becoming more placid. He also glanced at Hu Xian'er a few more times, not expecting that Hu Xian'er, despite being a woman, acted so decisively.
"When did I ask for your help?"
Lu Fan glanced at Hu Xian'er. "Do you think you're helping me? You're just encouraging his behavior!"
"We're all from the Eastern Region. Perhaps we can help each other in the future!"
Hu Xian'er said, "If you don't appreciate it, then consider what I just did as if it never happened!"
After speaking, Hu Xian'er turned and left, taking Hu Yu towards their room. Her words were rather serious.
Lu Fan stood there, stunned. He hadn't expected Hu Xian'er to say that, leaving him unsure of how to respond. Clearly, he hadn't anticipated things would turn out this way.
"She's already paid for you, so don't block the way, kid!" Huo Dong said coldly. "Otherwise, you're too much of an eyesore! You can't even produce a single Saint Artifact, and you dare to come to the Central Continent Academy like this?"
Lu Fan ignored him and chased after Hu Xian'er. "I have many treasures in my storage and don't need your help!"
"Whatever you say, I don't care!"
Hu Xian'er shrugged slightly, her expression becoming more indifferent, as if all of this was insignificant in her eyes.
Following these words, Lu Fan was left standing there, speechless. He hadn't expected Hu Xian'er to say that.
"He's too arrogant, too arrogant! How can he be like this?" Ghost Shadow repeatedly said. "Moreover, he didn't need to help just now, so why did he? Is he deliberately trying to appease us so that we won't deal with him!"
"You seem to see things quite clearly!" Lu Fan glanced at him. "However, the main reason Hu Xian'er did this is to find an ally. If I'm not mistaken, her intentions are that meticulous. After all, the Hu family doesn't have a great feud with the assassins or the dynasty. If I can become her backing in the Central Continent, paying a little is normal!" Su Dan Novel Network
"My lord, aren't you a bit too narcissistic?"
Ghost Shadow's face showed embarrassment, and he said frankly, without any hesitation.
"Why do you say that?" Lu Fan was bewildered. "Am I wrong?"
"You're definitely wrong!"
Ghost Shadow said frankly, "But I always feel that Hu Xian'er might have feelings for my lord!"
"Don't spout nonsense!"
Lu Fan shot him a look. "However, there are many experts in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, so it's best not to cause trouble here. Otherwise, we might not be able to enter the Central Continent Academy. If that happens, this trip will have been in vain!"
"My lord, don't worry, I certainly won't cause trouble!" Ghost Shadow nodded slightly. "It's just that the young master of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion doesn't seem like a good person. I'm afraid he'll cause trouble later and embarrass us. What should we do then?"
