81 The Server’s Scheme
Looking at the resplendent store in the distance, Shen Fei frowned involuntarily.
The trouble this time was probably related to that arrogant and despotic young master of the Wang family. After all, when the two of them met, Wang Wei had mentioned that this cultivation house was his family’s property. This trickery was likely his doing!
Not long after, Shen Fei and Lilian approached the cultivation room. However, the scene in front of them was not what they had expected.
A bustling crowd was gathered at the entrance of the cultivation house. Each of them had brought their own spirit beasts and roared angrily at the door.
“What right do you have to chase us out?!”
“Let us go back and cultivate, can you afford to deny us?”
“That’s right! Hurry up and open the door, or I’ll sue you!”
“How can there be such a shameless cultivation house like your family establishment in this world? Did all the money we paid you go to waste?”
“What’s going on?”
Lilian raised her brows, patting a Beastmaster’s shoulder in confusion.
“Hello, what’s going on here?” Lilian asked in confusion.
When she left back then, these people had not been here. Why did so many suddenly pop up?
“Sigh! I’ll tell you what’s going on!” The red-haired Beastmaster’s brows furrowed, and he slapped his thigh hard. “I was doing fine cultivating in my room just now, and I don’t know what that server has been smoking, but he suddenly said that the equipment inside was broken and asked us to step outside so that they could go in and fix it.
“But after their burly maintenance staff went in, they just immediately started cultivating instead!”
A this point, the beast master stomped on the ground fiercely, showing a resentful expression.
“What’s more, they’re using the rooms that were already paid for—by us! How despicable!”
Lilian’s eyes widened when she heard that. “I was also driven out by a server with the same excuse! How could they do this to us?”
In an instant, the red-haired Beastmaster’s expression grew even angrier. “In any case, if they don’t give me an explanation today, I’m not letting this go! Let’s see how long they can last!”
…
“Refund! Refund! Refund our money!”
Wang Wei slowly opened his eyes in the special cultivation room.
‘These lowly commoners are really noisy! How can I cultivate properly with such a ruckus outside?!’
“Server, are you really that incompetent? Hurry up and close all the doors and windows!”
“Young Master, we’ve already closed them.” The server bowed respectfully. “It’s so noisy outside because the guests are demanding an explanation.”
Wang Wei immediately frowned. “Then you should go and settle it for me. How can I continue cultivating with them being so noisy?”
“But, Young Master…” The server looked at Wang Wei in fear. Even his voice had become much softer.
If the young master was the only one who occupied the cultivation room, he would have a reason to tell the others that some of the equipment here had an accident. But later on, for some reason, the young master insisted on inviting a large group of scoundrels over and chased out the other customers who were cultivating.
Currently, he could neither retreat nor advance. What could he do?
The server gritted his teeth and knelt down in front of Wang Wei respectfully. “Young Master! This is our fault to begin with!”
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and the entire room instantly became extremely quiet.
“…Did you hear what you just said?”
Wang Wei picked up a device beside him in anger and smashed it to the side.
“I’m the owner of this establishment, and I have the final say in what this shop should do! Not a lowly thing like you.”
“Young Master!” The server did not even dare to raise his head. He was sweating profusely.
“I can’t believe you could say those words just now. I’ll give you a chance. If you dare to say such nonsense in front of me again, you’re fired.”
“But Young Master, I really have no other choice.” The server knelt on the ground in fear. “The people outside are shouting and demanding an explanation from me, but I really can’t give them one!”
Wang Wei looked at the server with indignation. “Are you an idiot? We’re the ones in charge here, why do you have to give them an explanation?”
“I’m the one who’ll give them a cultivation room if I want to. If they’re not happy, what can they do to us?” Wang Wei sneered. “But since you’re unable to handle them, that makes things easy. Lead them to an empty room later. I’ll deal with them. Understand?”
“I understand…” The server nodded fearfully.
“You can leave now, and do not disturb my cultivation!” Wang Wei looked at him coldly. “Go, do as I say.”
…
“Hey, server, come out! We want an explanation! ”
“What right do you have to let other people use our cultivation rooms?!”
“If you don’t give us an explanation today, we definitely won’t let you b*stards off!”
“Everyone, please remain calm!”
The door of the Imperial Cultivation House suddenly began to move. The server pushed the door open and walked out. When he saw the crowd, he immediately bowed.
“Since everyone has seen me come out, you probably understand what this means,” the server said to the crowd apologetically. “I know that our young master’s actions have brought a lot of inconvenience to everyone. As compensation. We’ve decided to refund the unused duration of your rental fee. I hope everyone can forgive us for what we did this time. We definitely won’t let such a situation happen again.”
“You think we want a simple refund of the unused duration?”
Some Beastmasters cursed fiercely.
“We’ve been cultivating for half a day, and it wasn’t easy for us to enter the optimal state. Then, you suddenly came and interrupted us, putting a halt on our cultivation. Do you think you can compensate us for this kind of damage with just some money?”
“That’s right. Don’t you know that for a cultivator, the cultivation realm is extremely important?”
“I’m really sorry. I’m really sorry.” The server bowed. He kept apologizing to the people around him. “Everyone, I have no way to compensate you for these things. We can only say that we will try our best to refund your money.”
At this point, he opened the door behind him that led to the cultivation house.
“Follow me inside, I’ll bring you to our lounge. Please sit there and wait. I’ll arrange for the accountant to come and refund everyone’s money in a while.”
Although many of the people present were cursing and swearing, most of them were reasonable. Seeing the door open, they walked in one after another.
“Come on, we’ll go in, too.” Lilian took the initiative to reach out her hand to Shen Fei.
Shen Fei shook his head. “I’m not going in. Something feels wrong here. Pay close attention after you go in.”
Shen Fei felt that the server’s smile hid a murderous intent. It was best to be careful.
“I’ll wait for you outside. We’ll leave together after you get your refund.”
“Alright, I’ll go in first.”
Lilian followed the crowd into the cultivation house.
