Chapter 72: Extortion, Trading Up!

"Elder Wang, Elder Tu, how could it be you?"

The people from the Beast Master Association were immediately incredibly embarrassed after arriving at the scene.

The few people inside the room were certainly not ordinary.

They not only came from the prominent families of Xi'an Ancient City, but were also elders of the Beast Master Guild, and furthermore, elders of the Beast Tamer Academy...

It could be said that the identities of these few were not just complex; their status was certainly not something these ordinary management personnel could handle.

"Trespassing into someone else's room and committing theft must be punished!"

"Not to mention that this is a house distributed by your Beast Master Guild!"

"If you do not handle this matter seriously, how will the world view it once word gets out?"

"If you just ignore it because they are elders of the Academy and the Guild, then what credibility does the Beast Master Guild have left?!"

"I fear that in the future, the world will mock the Beast Master Guild!!"

Luo Shuiyan and the other three, one after another, left these apartment management personnel of the Beast Master Association speechless.

The matter itself was their fault, and now they did not know how to respond.

Seeing more and more onlookers gathering around, the expressions of the few old fellows grew increasingly gloomy.

They did not just represent themselves; they also represented the families and powers behind them, and they could not afford to lose face.

"Hmph! You little girls, don't you go spouting nonsense here!"

"What theft?! We were merely here to screen for safety hazards!"

"Furthermore, this matter is a classified operation; it must not be spread. If you make a scene, don't blame us for being impolite."

"If you don't want to bring trouble upon yourselves, then I advise you had best..."

The few old men no longer hid their intentions at this moment, and one by one, they began to threaten with gloomy expressions.

However, Luo Shuiyan had long since anticipated this kind of face from them.

"Screening for hazards, is it? Since that's the case, then I shall have to go ask Elder Guo!"

As she spoke, Luo Shuiyan took out the Black Wooden Token that Elder Guo had given her.

The current Luo Shuiyan was no longer who she was before; with a backer, she could not be bothered to look at the faces of these prominent families anymore.

She brought out her trump card directly to make them hesitate, so that there would be less trouble for her cultivation in the future.

"Not bad, you've made progress."

Seeing Luo Shuiyan act this way, Jiang Che said encouragingly.

Luo Shuiyan was still very clever; she knew how to bring out her backer at the right time for others to see.

That was better than many people who liked to put on airs and insisted on holding out, only to end up with their trump card unused and themselves finished.

"This... this token?!"

Looking at the Black Wooden Token in Luo Shuiyan's hand, the few old fellows all widened their eyes.

Each one was filled with disbelief, and their shocked expressions seemed to smooth out even the wrinkles on their faces.

"How could she possibly have that person's token?!"

"Isn't she an orphan from Jianghai City? What is going on?! What exactly is her background?!"

"You must know that although that person is a lone wolf, he alone is someone even those top prominent families must look up to!"

Gazing at the wooden token in Luo Shuiyan's hand, the few were all too shocked to speak.

After a long while, a sound of swallowing saliva came.

"Student Luo, Luo Shuiyan, oh no, Young Friend Luo!"

"A misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

"This matter was actually our fault; we were a bit too abrupt!"

"How about this, whatever you need, whatever compensation you want, just name it!"

The few old fellows changed their previous attitude, and one by one, they all piled on smiles. That appearance was indescribably fawning, completely different from their usual overbearing posture.

If anyone who knew them well had been present, they would likely have had their jaws dropped in shock.

"Sorry, Elder Wang, we actually don't have any requirements, we just think it's a bit ridiculous!"

"I really didn't expect that such a thing could happen in a house distributed by the Beast Master Guild!"

Luo Shuiyan said after glancing at the few people from the Beast Master Guild.

Hearing these words from Luo Shuiyan, the few immediately reacted.

"Look at this, the Beast Master Guild is too stingy; what kind of house is this they've arranged for you?"

"You four are all geniuses in the Academy; this arrangement by the Beast Master Guild is too poor!"

While speaking, Wang Lao even kicked the wardrobe nearby and stomped on the floor.

The few apartment management personnel of the Beast Master Guild had very strange expressions after hearing this.

"In my opinion, how about this: I can specifically arrange a villa for you three miles outside the Academy, how about that?"

"That villa is very close to the Academy, so it will be very convenient for you to go to and from class, and you won't have to waste much time on the road."

"Moreover, your strength is currently growing rapidly, and having a quiet place to cultivate is also very important for you!"

Luo Shuiyan and the other three looked at each other and nodded; this was true.

"Elder Wang, we are just students, and we replaced a lot of bedding and clothes last night; all the money we saved up during this time has been spent..."

"Rest assured, you don't need to worry; we will prepare the newest furniture and decorations for the villa!"

"As for those quilts and clothes, you can go to the shops opened by my Wang Family and pick whatever you like; all expenses will be covered by my Wang Family!"

"Also, your living expenses for the rest of this year will all be covered by my Wang Family; you won't need to spend a cent when shopping at Wang Family shops!"

Hearing these words from them, Luo Shuiyan and the others finally nodded and agreed not to pursue the matter further.

After all, no matter what, these prominent families had deep roots and many branches.

Even with a backer now, one cannot push them too hard.

That very day, Luo Shuiyan and the other three moved into the villa gifted by the Wang Family.

The Wang Family had deep financial resources and directly gifted the ownership of this house to Luo Shuiyan, not just the right to use it.

"It really has to be a villa; it's much more spacious indeed!"

As soon as Hu Xiaoxiao moved into the villa, she cheered and jumped for joy, running back and forth inside the building.

The apartment had many floors, and each floor had several households, making it crowded and noisy.

The few of them now had more and more secrets, so living in an apartment was indeed very inconvenient.

The villa gifted by the Wang Family had three floors in total; the interior was very spacious, and the decoration was also extremely luxurious and comfortable.

Furthermore, it had a very large outer courtyard.

As for those who were caught, they were summoned by their respective Heads of the Family that very night.

The reason was simple: their Heads of the Family had been criticized together early this morning by the Dean of Tianque Academy and two Vice Presidents of the Xi'an Beast Master Guild...

These influential figures did not even dare to say much.

And the content of the criticism was entirely centered around a freshman named Luo Shuiyan...

Once this news broke, all the forces in Xi'an Ancient City were shocked and immediately withdrew their eyes and ears.

Looking at those few people who had been cornered in the room by Luo Shuiyan, the Head of the Family of the Wang Family looked very grim.

"Hmph! A bunch of good-for-nothings who can't accomplish anything but only cause trouble!"

"It is fortunate that you did not come into conflict with them today and even obtained that little girl's forgiveness."

"Otherwise, if Old Guo were to blame us, we would not be able to bear the consequences!"
