Chapter 531: Chapter 525: Emperor Hotel
They spent over an hour drinking tea and playing a few rounds of chess.
“Xiao Tian, are you free tonight?” Mr. Qin put down his chess piece and looked at Ye Tian, saying, “Yao Yao’s brother is also at that Heavenly Pride gathering, so she will go to the Emperor Hotel later.”
A hint of wisdom flashed in Mr. Qin’s eyes, and his tone was somewhat pleading. He was still worried that his granddaughter might run into trouble at the gathering.
“No problem, I’ll go and grab a meal while I’m at it.”
Ye Tian sensed the old man’s concern but didn’t point it out and nodded in agreement.
“Good, then I’ll go call that crazy girl out.”
Mr. Qin’s face turned red, and he laughed like a blooming chrysanthemum, feeling relieved now.
“Hey, you can’t say that! If Grandpa Qin hadn’t asked me to protect you and Moli, I wouldn’t have the time to play with you, you little brat.”
Ye Tian looked down at the pouting face in front of him, hands on hips, looking very dissatisfied.
From Mr. Qin, he had learned that this girl’s name was Chen Yaoyao, a distant cousin of Qin Molin. She had accompanied her cousin, Chen Bin, to Yunhai City mainly to attend this Heavenly Pride gathering.
This little girl was fourteen years old, wearing a cute floral dress, but she was actually very cunning, causing Mr. Qin a lot of headaches.
“Bah! If it weren’t for Grandpa Qin asking me to take you, you think I’d bring you along?”
“You need an invitation to get in. Do you have one?”
Chen Yaoyao waved a golden invitation with her chubby hand and gave Ye Tian a disdainful glance. “By the way, are you living off Sister Moli?”
She raised her head, tried to stand on her tiptoes, wanting to pinch Ye Tian’s face with her little hand, her eyes full of hostility, as if she wanted to see through him.
Ever since he stepped into the Qin family’s villa, Chen Yaoyao felt that this man would steal her Sister Qin Molin away.
Moreover, since Ye Tian came, Grandpa Qin had been so enthusiastic about him that he had neglected this cute little girl, making her very unhappy.
So, she wanted to get back at him, to show him the might of the little witch.
“You little brat, quite arrogant, aren’t you.”
Ye Tian almost burst out laughing, snatched the golden invitation, and carried her onto a BMW.
He was in his twenties, after all, not going to argue with an immature little girl. Besides, he was also curious about this Heavenly Pride gathering tonight to see what Earth had become under the resurgence of spiritual energy.
“Let go of me, I can walk by myself! You stink, you little piggy!”
Chen Yaoyao struggled on Ye Tian’s back, shouting constantly, but still couldn’t escape his grasp.
Yunhai City, Emperor Hotel.
From a distance, neon lights covered the entire building, which stood four or five hundred meters tall, with 108 floors, towering into the clouds and overlooking Yunhai.
This hotel, though not as famous as the Yunhai Hotel in Yunhai City, was a meeting place for the truly wealthy and powerful. Ordinary people without status couldn’t get within thirty meters.
This massive hotel had all the facilities: restaurants, bars, shopping plazas, auction houses, and even a martial arts hall that Yunhai City’s martial artists dreamed of, providing resources for martial arts cultivation.
Moreover, the background of Emperor Hotel was very mysterious, and the young master behind it was said to come from an ancient noble family in the Capital City.
On the 99th floor of the Emperor Hotel, in an extremely luxurious restaurant, elites from various cities in the Coastal Province were gathered, including the stunningly radiant Qin Molin.
“Moli, the young master of the Emperor Hotel’s family is hosting this Heavenly Pride gathering with a very clear intention.”
“It’s to recruit us. What do you think?”
A handsome man in a black suit, with a somewhat pale complexion from excess indulgence, held a glass of red wine and approached Qin Molin.
“I don’t think much of it. Our Qin family won’t stoop to their level.”
Qin Molin frowned, annoyed by this man, and took a few steps back to maintain a distance.
The man showed a flash of anger in his eyes and downed his red wine in one gulp, greedily eyeing Qin Molin. He was none other than Chen Yaoyao’s brother, Chen Bin.
Ye Tian and the other two had already arrived at the entrance of the Emperor Hotel.
“Wow, it’s really luxurious. This place must be worth a fortune.”
Ye Tian looked up and exclaimed, wondering how much the electricity bill for this night alone would be.
“Huh, country bumpkin, let’s move it!”
Chen Yaoyao let Ye Tian hold her hand and pulled him forward with a yank.
“Hold on, invitation please.”
The security guards at the Emperor Hotel were Yellow-grade Martial Artists. They looked at the three with disdain and blocked their way with outstretched hands.
It couldn’t be helped; Ye Tian and Fang Qintian’s outfits were too simple. Their clothes clearly looked like cheap streetwear, and Fang Qintian was even wearing slippers because he found them comfortable.
Ye Tian had to go along with it.
At least Chen Yaoyao’s clothes looked luxurious, probably worth no less than five digits, with little shoes embedded in jewels, a true rich kid’s attire.
Ye Tian took out the invitation and handed it over. The security guard looked it over reluctantly and then moved aside.
With this golden invitation, three people could enter together. They couldn’t stop Ye Tian and Fang Qintian.
“What the heck, two country bumpkins dared to come to the Emperor Hotel?”
“Never mind, maybe they are that little girl’s servants, bringing them to broaden their horizons.”
The three figures gradually walked away. The two guards disdainfully spoke and took out a tissue to wipe their hands.
“Master, shall we teach those ants a lesson?”
Fang Qintian’s cultivation was much stronger, and Yellow-grade Martial Artists were like ants to him. They dared to mock him?
Where was the dignity of the Sea Suppressing Dragon General? The prestige of a Primordial Martial Realm Martial Artist?
“Hiss~~~ Is it windy? It’s so cold tonight. Let’s go warm up later.”
The two security guards felt the temperature drop by a dozen degrees, shivering, rubbing their hands, then chuckling.
“What’s the matter? Do you like bullying ants?”
Ye Tian smiled slightly, looking at Fang Qintian.
“Ding~~~ 99th floor, arrived.”
As the elevator doors opened, what greeted them were men and women in all kinds of lavish attire, talking and laughing, holding glasses of red wine.
This was a real gathering of the rich. Everyone here had noble statuses and extraordinary positions.
As the elevator doors opened, everyone looked their way with excitement on their faces, but upon seeing Ye Tian and his group, they looked away with cold faces, as if saying, “Don’t come near me.”
“Which family are they from? They look like beggars. If the young master sees them, won’t it be shameful for us?”
“No cultivation whatsoever, how dare they come into our circle. What were the doorman’s dog eyes doing, letting them in?”
“How about we mess with them a bit?”
A young man with sunken eyes and a pale face was talking to a young man with a burly frame.
Then they exchanged a mischievous grin and walked toward Ye Tian and his group.
“Ye Tian, my brother is over there, let’s go.”
Chen Yaoyao excitedly pointed in a direction and was about to rush over, only to be picked up by Ye Tian.
The three of them slowly made their way towards Chen Bin.
“Excuse me, from which family are you? Care for a drink with us?”
The two young men who had just sneered at Ye Tian were holding red wine, blocking their way with a playful look.
“Are you even qualified?” Fang Qintian had been holding back his anger. When had he ever been ridiculed? He stood up, pushed them forcefully, and said,
“Good dogs don’t block the way, get lost.”
