"Let's go inside," Ye Xuan said to Jin Lin at his side, walking slowly toward the steps of the Celestial One Inn.
"What do you think you're doing?" several of the inn's guards demanded. They retreated a few steps in alarm, exchanging frightened glances, too scared to advance.
"I'm here for a room. Does your inn not accept guests?" Ye Xuan asked calmly.
"You must be joking, good sir. We are the Celestial One Inn. We open our doors to all guests. Of course we have rooms." A middle-aged man dressed like a shopkeeper hurried out of the inn, a smile on his face.
The man was stout with a round belly, and his eyes crinkled into a smile, making him appear harmless. But his body contained a shocking aura. He was clearly a Tier Five Martial Sect expert—and a Tier Five Peak Martial Sect at that.
'The Celestial One Inn must have some serious backing.'
'To open an inn this large in the heart of Black Stone City is surely beyond the means of any ordinary faction.'
