Chapter 13: The Imperial Flourish Hotel
Zeng Caixuan ignored Yan Huang and closed the car door . She made a call to Xiaoqiao and got the room number of the KTV . She hurriedly walked there .
Yan Huang turned around nonchalantly and prepared to go home . His cellphone rang . Yan Huang looked at the number displayed on the screen . It was his mother .
“Yes?” Yan Huang picked up the call .
“Huang’er, did you manage to find Caixuan?” Shui Xiaolian asked him worriedly .
“Yes . ”
“That is good . It is dangerous for a girl to stay outside in the middle of the night . Hurry up and come back with her . ”
“She is singing with her friends . I can’t get her back . ” Yan Huang leaned against the car . He looked at the extravagant Imperial Flourish Hotel beside him .
He was the father of the human race . However, he was not a babysitter .
It was an honor for Zeng Caixuan when he agreed to give her an opportunity .
“Yan Huang, Yan Huang!” Wu Jiaming’s voice came from the other end of the call . “Look after her for me . Let her sing if she wants to . Just come back with her later . ”
His mother’s voice sounded again . “Yes, come back with Xuan’er later after she finished playing . Don’t come back alone!”
Before Yan Huang could agree, his mother hung up .
Yan Huang: “…”
……
Zeng Caixuan pushed opened the door of one of the premium KTV rooms . A few girls immediately surrounded her .
One of them said unhappily, “Caixuan, how can you forget my birthday?” A girl wearing branded clothes all over her body grabbed her hand . This was one of Zeng Caixuan’s close friends, Mu Xiaoqiao, the birthday girl .
“Yes . ” Another short-haired and outspoken girl said to Zeng Caixuan, “You are late . You need to drink three cups . ” This person was another close friend of Zeng Caixuan, Ruonan .
“Stop quarreling . Come over and sit down,” A tall and long-legged cold-looking lady said . She was the last close friend, An Ya, the campus belle .
“Yes, drink three cups and you can enter . ” Mu Xiaoqiao pulled Caixuan into the room . Suddenly, she realized that there was a man standing behind Caixuan .
“Hey, who are you?” Mu Xiaoqiao sized up Yan Huang . She frowned when she noticed that his clothes were worth less than a hundred yuan . The cheapest piece of clothes on her cost more than a hundred . They were her Chanel socks .
“You…” Zeng Caixuan turned back to look at Yan Huang who was behind her . She was shocked . “You… why do you always appear so suddenly?”
Yan Huang looked at the nobodies in front of him . His gaze was arrogant and blatant . He walked in and sat down on the biggest sofa in the KTV room .
He acted as though it was their honor that he came .
“Sigh, who is this poor guy?” Mu Xiaoqiao was unhappy that Yan Huang ignored her and even took the middle spot of the KTV . It was her birthday, not his .
“My friend . ” Zeng Caixuan’s head hurt .
“What is the matter?” Ruonan walked towards Zeng Caixuan . She looked at Yan Huang’s clothes with disdain . She cracked her knuckles . “Do you need my help?”
Ruonan was the most violent out of the four best friends . She learned taekwondo and was a blue-belt now . She would always beat up those admirers that pestered her best friends .
The arrogant An Ya looked at Yan Huang with contempt . She turned her head nonchalantly . She had seen many poor guys like him who wanted to fool a wealthy lady .
“What do you want?” Zeng Caixuan walked towards Yan Huang . She hated him even more .
“I will just sit here . You can do whatever you like . ”
“Fine!” Zeng Caixuan looked at Yan Huang angrily .
Just as he said, Yan Huang sat cross-legged on the sofa and started cultivating . He ignored everything that was happening around him . There were around 20 people in the KTV . They were having a lot of fun .
In the middle of the celebration, Yan Huang received a call . It was from Old Master Mo .
“Hello, is this Master Yan?” Old Master Mo said politely .
“Yes,” Yan Huang replied nonchalantly .
“Master, sorry to disturb you . I’m calling you because there is a herb in your Dan prescription, ‘Han Yi Gen’ which I couldn’t find . I have looked through all the Chinese medicine books and even asked a respected Dan-making master . There is no such herb present . Master…”
Old Master Mo understood that old and secret factions had their own way of naming certain herbs .
Yan Huang was stunned when he heard this . He had made a mistake .
As compared to his 5000 years of memory, the original memories of ‘Yan Huang’ seemed negligible . Hence, when he had written the Dan prescription, he didn’t check the original memories and just wrote it based on what he remembered .
Although this was a simple version of Strengthening Dan, in this spiritual power-lacking earth, some herbs might not be available .
Yan Huang looked through his memory and realized that Han Yi Gen was not present on this earth . He needed to find another herb to replace it .
Old Master Mo could hear the hesitation in Yan Huang’s voice . “Master, we have collected the other herbs necessary and got some herbs that seemed similar to Han Yi Gen . You can take a look and see which one is more suitable . ”
“Yes . I can do that . ” Yan Huang nodded his head . Old Master Mo was someone who prepared ahead . He had predicted the issues that Yan Huang could face and made the necessary preparations . “Come over later . Since you are so sincere, I will help you make the Dan medicine later . ”
“Sure sure . ” Old Master Mo was elated . He replied, “Master, where are you . I will go over immediately . ”
“I am at the Imperial Flourish Hotel . Emperor Hall Room Number 2 . ”
“I didn’t expect you to be in Jiangning city . I will go over immediately . ”
“Yes . ”
……
Mu Xiaoqiao was dressed in branded clothes . She laid in the arms of a handsome and nicely dressed man . This was Xiaoqiao’s boyfriend, Yang Wenrui . Yang Wenrui’s family owned several big hotels . Their assets were worth a few hundred million . His father had relationships in both the white and black world .
Yang Wenrui was a flirtatious person . He hugged Mu Xiaoqiao with one hand and had a glass of wine in another . He gave an amorous smile and nodded at Yan Huang . “Your admirer? Do you need me to chase him away?”
“Yeah . ” Mu Xiaoqiao didn’t like how poor Yan Huang looked . When she heard that Yang Wenrui was willing to lend a helping hand, she immediately continued, “Caixuan, don’t worry . Wenrui will definitely help you . ”
Zeng Caixuan had received a message from her mother that she ordered Yan Huang to accompany her and send her back later . Zeng Caixuan saw that Yan Huang just sat obediently in a corner after he came in so she shook her head and said, “No, he is just a common friend . ”
“Okay . If you need any help, just tell me . ” Yang Wenrui finished the cup of wine in his hand . He glanced at Yan Huang indifferently . To him, Yan Huang was like an ant . He could kill him whenever he wanted to .
Today was Yang Wenrui’s girlfriend, Mu Xiaoqiao’s birthday . The people he invited were all from wealthy families .
A rich young man who was sitting beside Yang Wenrui with a beautiful lady in his arms praised as he looked at the interior of the KTV room, “I heard that the person behind this Imperial Flourish Hotel is Master Hong . The minute he opened this hotel, all the rooms were filled . Everyone from the black and white world came to support him . ”
“Yes . ” Yang Wenrui got excited the moment he heard about Master Hong . “I heard my father say that the Hong Clan developed really quickly . Within just a few years, they grew from a small clan into the head of the clans within the Jiangning city . They are a legend . ”
“Yes . There were just around for a few years but they dared to stand up against the leader of the black world, the Dragon Tiger Sect . ”
The people around them gasped in shock . The Dragon Tiger Sect was the ultimate leader of the mafia world .
When he talked about this, Yang Wenrui lowered his voice, “I heard that Master Hong was able to grow strong so quickly because there is a cultivator helping him . ”
“Woah!” The people around them exclaimed in surprise again . Cultivators were starting to gain more importance . Most of the people here were young and hot-blooded . It was understandable that they had a desire to become stronger . Everyone had dreams of becoming a hero .
Zeng Caixuan held her wine glass tighter when she heard this . There was longing in her eyes .
She was an arrogant person . She studied hard because she wanted to get into the Jiangnan university so that she could become a cultivator .
Zeng Caixuan looked at Yan Huang secretly .
Yes . If I become a cultivator, my parents will not ask me to like such a useless person even if his family help us create the magic instrument .
Zeng Caixuan thought about this and decided that she must work harder from now on . Her results were slightly below the minimum requirements for the university, so she just needed to work hard and she would get into the university .
“Wenrui, you are in the best situation . ” The people looked at Yang Wenrui with envy . Their results were all normal so there was no way they could get into the Jiangnan University .
Yang Wenrui’s results were normal too but his family was wealthy! According to rumors, in some high-class auctions, Dan medicine had started appearing and cultivation techniques were being sold in the auctions too . With Yang Wenrui’s family background, he could easily buy some Dan to help with his cultivation .
Yang Wenrui smiled brighter . He raised the wine glass in his hand and gulped it down .
He said in a drunk manner, “Don’t worry, once I become a cultivator, I will help all of you and make sure that you all become cultivators too!”
“You are the best!”
“Good brother!”
The people around tried to curry favores with him . Mu Xiaoqiao hugged him even tighter . Her eyes lit up . When that time came, he would become a highly-respected cultivator .
As they were singing, Yang Wenrui went to the washroom . When he walked passed the female toilet, his eyes turned bright . He saw a lady with a black miniskirt . Her back and legs were all shown . It was a hot lady .
