Chapter 279 Bathhouse
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
"The rest of you can relax and take a day off for yourself then."
Bai Rouyun did not only speak to the members of the Blue Water Institute, she also looked at her guards from the Eternal Shadow Palace.
Although their task was to protect her from the shadows, there was no reason for them to follow her around when Jiang Wei was by her side.
If, somehow, she was harmed with him by her side, then she would still not be fine if they were present. She also felt that they had suffered enough from traveling this long journey without being able to show up, so now they deserved some time to rest and do what they prefered.
"Thank you, Madam!"
The captain of the guards straightened his back and clasped his hands as he loudly showed his gratitude. As soon as his booming voice became silent, the rest of the group yelled out their own gratitude.
Bai Rouyun smiled happily as she noticed their gratitude, and her eyes curved like crescent moons.
Jiang Wei could not help but shake his head in amusement. Although Bai Rouyun had the aura of a ruler, her behavior was gentle and refined. She also managed to win over those who had good reason to hate her, and even the hostess could not help but have her eyes flashing in appreciation.
Seeing that she had given them time for themselves, They all hurried to their rooms and decided to wash up before taking a nap.
"I will send warm water to the double and private rooms. Those who are living in the four bed rooms can go to the bathhouse next door. There are both public and private bathrooms in their bathhouse, and their water is infused with spiritual stones and various herbs."
The hostess was very polite and professional. The private and double rooms both had enough space to accomodate a wooden bathtub and water from the inn, but the four bedrooms were not spacious enough, so she quickly found an alternative for them.
While Gu Xinyue decided to accept the offer of having water sent to their room, the other members of the Blue Water Institute did not. They were not familiar enough with one another to accept bathing together.
The hostess did not try to convince them either. The bathhouse next door was of good quality, so she would not mind if her staff would have to carry less water. Although they had trained and could be considered beginner cultivators, it was a lot of work to move the bathtubs and the water to the floors above.
Bai Rouyun was also tempted after hearing that the bathhouse next door was not only using normal warm water, but had infused it with herbs and spirit stones, but after close consideration, she decided to wait until another day to indulge there.
For now, the most important thing was to be clean, and then she could relax a little, before she went out with Jiang Wei and Mo Chu.
"Thank you for the trouble."
Bai Rouyun nodded towards the hostess. Although she was a citizen of Xiumeng City, there was no need to flatter her. The two of them were strangers, and would treat each other politely.
The reason for her aggressive reaction previously was partly to kill the chickens to warn the monkeys. Although Bai Rouyun was not familiar with the rest of her partners from the Blue Water Institute prior to their travel, she had gotten a good understanding of them during the journey.
They were from the weaker areas of the continent, but their arrogance was truly overgrown. They felt that since certain high-ranked factions had accepted them in their branches, they were no longer common experts, but true geniuses.
Now that they were in Xiumeng City, they would meet true talents, and it was very likely that they would trouble others, resulting in a rather catastrophic ending.
Although Bai Rouyun did not care for their personal future, they were, after all, all members of the Blue Water Institute. She had to keep an eye on them as a token of gratitude for the time she had spent there.
Not to mention, their actions might even end up including her, and she was not willing to have to use the Eternal Shadow Palace’s influence to clean up their mess.
Now, she had managed to make them understand her stance, and she had also made them realize that there was mountain beyond mountains, and heavens beyond heavens.
The staff that led them up the stairs was very polite. He did not try to engage in conversation, but merely pointed out which rooms were where, and gave out the keystones needed to open and close these rooms.
Due to the nature of Xiumeng City, the keystones used were very powerful. Upon injecting one’s spiritual energy into the stone, it would get the soul imprint of the user.
When the user wished to lock the room, a formation would cover it, and only those with a keystone aimed for that specific formation would be able to enter as well.
Bai Rouyun nodded her head in approval. These keystones were very suitable, and would provide them with a great amount of protection as well.
Although the entire inn had been rented by Bai Rouyun, she was not very trusting towards her travel companions.. Although all her treasures were hidden within the Primal Chaos Pagoda and her qiankun bag, she still did not like knowing that someone might enter her room while she was gone, so now she felt very relieved.
