Chapter 114: Wealth Can Reach the Gods, Money Can Cover the Heavens!

Distinguished guest.

Lu Ren could not help but shift his gaze over.

He felt no particular astonishment in his heart.

As a Child of Luck who had always been treated specially by the Heavenly Dao, it was normal for Qin Yuan to have other fortuitous encounters that he himself was unaware of.

However, it was a pity that with so many Children of Luck, Qin Yuan, being the most special one, was given exceptional treatment, and he could not immediately seize these fortuitous encounters for his own use the moment they appeared.

It was truly a pity.

For some reason, Qin Yuan always felt exceptionally nervous.

He gripped the token in his hand and subconsciously looked back, yet he did not spot the shadow of any acquaintance.

Strange.

Qin Yuan could not help but mutter to himself.

What was going on?

Clearly, he had not seen anyone paying attention to him, yet he always felt as if someone were keeping watch.

However...

Glancing at Xiao Zigui, who had come to a stop beside him, Qin Yuan lowered his eyes slightly.

He could feel it.

Xiao Zigui must also be an extraordinary heaven-gifted talent; he would certainly not lose out by befriending him.

Therefore, he did not begrudge using the Duobao Pavilion token at this moment.

Although the token he held was only the lowest-level token.

But he had confidence.

As long as he was given a certain amount of time, one day he would be able to exchange the Low-level Token in his hand for the highest-level token of the Duobao Pavilion.

After verifying the authenticity of the token, the shopkeeper personally returned it to Qin Yuan.

He said respectfully, "Please follow me."

Xiao Zigui could not help but feel a sense of triumph, but along with it came a deep sense of frustration.

When had he ever been forced to play second fiddle to anyone?

Yet in front of this person named Yuan Qin, he had actually been outshone.

Xiao Zigui secretly made up his mind that such a situation must absolutely never happen again in the future.

For now...

Glancing at Helian Qinghe by his side, Xiao Zigui decided to humble himself for the time being, considering it as doing so for Helian Qinghe's sake.

The shopkeeper led the way in front.

He had intended to take them to the guest rooms reserved specifically for distinguished guests at the Duobao Pavilion, but before they had walked many steps, the path in front of them was blocked.

The shopkeeper frowned, "This young lady... may I ask what business you have?"

He was not angry, merely puzzled.

Yu Jiaojiao, however, pointed directly at Xiao Zigui, "I remember them; when they came yesterday, you said there were no guest rooms, so why are there some today?"

"Could it be that you are lying to me?"

The shopkeeper's expression immediately turned solemn.

He shook his head and denied it immediately.

"Of course not!"

"This young lady, this gentleman is a distinguished guest of our Duobao Pavilion, and the Duobao Pavilion has always kept a few guest rooms vacant specifically for distinguished guests."

"This is a rule that the Duobao Pavilion has long had."

Watching Yu Jiaojiao appear before him, Qin Yuan could not help but feel his heart stir.

This woman... how charming! Upon seeing her, he felt his heart skip a beat.

Qin Yuan spoke up involuntarily to ask, "Does this young lady have nowhere to stay? If you do not mind, you could stay with us; it is only for a few nights to make do."

"Please rest assured, young lady, we have girls among our companions, we will not do anything to you!"

Helian Qinghe also chimed in gently from the side.

"Brother Yuan is right."

Yu Jiaojiao's eyes darted around.

She did not pay them any mind, but after pondering for a moment, she asked the shopkeeper bluntly, "If I become a distinguished guest of your Duobao Pavilion, will there be extra guest rooms?"

"Then what must I do to become a distinguished guest of your Duobao Pavilion?"

The shopkeeper could not help but feel a bit helpless; how many people in the world wanted to become honored guests of their Duobao Pavilion, but how many could actually obtain a token? However, since someone was asking, he had no choice but to explain.

"If one wishes to become a distinguished guest of our Duobao Pavilion, talent, strength, power, and wealth are all indispensable."

"Or, one can become a distinguished guest directly by gaining the appreciation of our Duobao Pavilion's Supreme Treasure Pavilion Master, or the Vice Pavilion Master, or one of the several Young Masters who hold real power."

"Alternatively, the shopkeepers of each Duobao Pavilion branch each hold one Low-level Token, which they can choose to gift at their own discretion."

After hearing this, Yu Jiaojiao's eyes shifted lightly to look at Qin Yuan beside her.

"How did you obtain yours?"

Her tone was not polite; Qin Yuan frowned slightly upon hearing this, but he did not hide it.

"Naturally, by relying on my talent, strength, and methods."

Qin Yuan had originally thought that since he had already said as much, even if Yu Jiaojiao did not revere him, she would at least show a moment of admiration.

But what he did not expect was that Yu Jiaojiao showed an expression of disdain directly.

She even rolled her eyes.

"Then it seems the Duobao Pavilion's selection process isn't much; even someone like you can manage to get in."

"I had better not take this path."

Originally, Qin Yuan had quite a good impression of Yu Jiaojiao.

Yet he did not expect that Yu Jiaojiao would openly slander him like this, and his expression changed instantly, becoming extremely unsightly.

He no longer maintained his gentle facade, but instead spoke with cold words: "Is that so? It seems the young lady has been pampered too well by her family!"

The implication was that Yu Jiaojiao did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.

Yi Yaoyue naturally could not stand by and watch someone speak of her disciple this way; furthermore, Qin Yuan was not only her disciple, but the man she loved.

She gave a light rebuke: "Little girl, you had better not boast, lest the wind be strong enough to twist your tongue!"

"Is it that you are unwilling to take this path, or is it that you cannot walk up it?"

"I said I am unwilling, so I am unwilling!"

Yu Jiaojiao gifted them another massive eye-roll.

She went straight to the shopkeeper, "How much money to buy one? I want a high-grade one! I don't want the low-grade ones like theirs!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers nearby all burst into loud laughter.

"Did you hear that? She actually said she wants to buy a Duobao Pavilion token!"

"Ridiculous, ridiculous, simply too ridiculous!"

"If this were something that could be bought, wouldn't it have been common knowledge long ago?"

"Ignorant woman! To think I believed she had some confidence; she is just an ignorant child!"

The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly.

He also felt that he was foolish for wasting time there, "Apologies, young lady, we..."

But he did not even have time to finish his sentence before it was swallowed back into his mouth.

"Is this enough?"

Yu Jiaojiao was indifferent, casually tossing out a Spirit Stone bag, "One hundred thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones, is that enough to buy one?"

"..."

The shopkeeper was silent for a moment; although it was not enough, how could this little girl be so wealthy!

Let alone him.

Everyone else also fell into silence.

Qin Yuan looked on in disbelief; he had thought she was boasting, but he had not expected her to be truly this wealthy.

Seeing them silent, Yu Jiaojiao tilted her head.

"Not enough?"

"If I add these, is it enough?"

Two more Spirit Stone bags were tossed out by her, and along with them were various treasures of heaven and earth.

Looking out, Ten-thousand-year Spirit Herbs were piled in bunches, and Thousand-year Spirit Flowers were as common as cabbages.

Everyone fell into deep silence and shock.

Seeing her take out more and more, the shopkeeper could not help but hurriedly interrupt her: "Young lady, please wait a moment! Allow me to consult with those above!"
