"This way please, for representatives of Dong Xi Academy." The guy in green clothes guided Li Shi Ying and the others to walk through a long corridor.
The inn seemed like an old one, but still looked good. It was like a typical ancient chinese inn with wooden flooring and shabby walls.
"Is this really where we will sleep?" Jiao Cong Ming couldn't help but whisper to Li Shi Ying when he saw how shabby the inn looked. Even though the inn was very huge and could afford all of the participants of this year's tournament, the inn itself still looked shabby!
The floor was dirty, and the wall was filled with cracks here and there. Even the roof seemed like it couldn't properly protect them from the rain.
For a crowned prince like Jiao Cong Ming, having to sleep in this kind of inn was, of course, a nightmare. He would have never expected he had to sleep in this kind of place for the first time ever in his life.
It was humiliating for a crown prince to sleep in this kind of shabby inn! Look! There was even a rat passing by just now.
"Just keep walking." Li Shi Ying herself felt doubtful. She thought the inn would be at least something good, since there must be a lot students from influential families participating in this tournament.
She didn't expect the inn so be this bad.
"Alright, this will be the room for the representatives of Dong Xi Academy." The guy with green clothes stopped in front of a huge room as he let Li Shi Ying and the others come inside.
"Huh? Only one room?" Li Shi Ying looked around and saw it was one huge room fit for 7 people, with a futon bed left alone on the floor. The room was big, but there wasn't anything there aside of a few thin beds.
There wasn't even a bathroom!
"Yes, everyone from other academies also only have one room. We can only provide one inn after all. Oh right, these are the badges for Dong Xi academy, please don't take it off before the tournament's end."
The guy smiled as he gave Li Shi Ying 7 badges with Dong Xi Academy's symbol there. Li Shi Ying herself accepted the badges without realizing that the guy gave the badges to her, and not to Long Ao Zhen.
It means this guy knew that Li Shi Ying was the leader of the group, even though the girl didn't look like it!
Seeing this, only Long Ao Zhen realized, and couldn't help but frown. He heard from the principal that the staff holding the tournament won't know the detailed background of each participant. They also won't know which is the leader of the group.
So how come this guy could guess that the leader is Li Shi Ying and not him? Usually, people would mistake him as the leader, since his bunny didn't have the image of a leader.
"Alright, thank you, are there any other instructions?" Li Shi Ying gave the badges to everyone, and before she let the others enter the room, she asked the guy for the last time.
There must be another instruction related to the tournament, right?
"Oh right, there is. You guys are allowed to go out to play, but please come back before 9 p.m since we will have a long journey tomorrow. Also, if you guys don't like this inn, you guys can sleep in another inn. Just don't be late for the tournament tomorrow."
The guy bowed politely before he walked away, leaving Li Shi Ying's group in their room.
"Are we seriously going to sleep here??" Hearing that they could change inns, Jiao Cong Ming immediately suggested for them to change inns. It's not like they're poor and couldn't afford a better inn.
Even Feng Wang Zi agreed with Jiao Cong Ming. That guy earlier told us that they could change inns as long as they wouldn't be late for tomorrow's tournament. Since the tournament would be held in this town anyway, changing inns wouldn't be a problem.
"No. We will stay in this inn. I have a feeling that all of these arrangements are suspicious, so until we can be sure nothing will go wrong, no one can change inns."
Li Shi Ying actually wanted to change inns too, but her instincts and her mind told her that something was wrong. A strong guy appointed as a mere welcomer, a shabby inn…a deserted town…
All of these seemed suspicious!
"Alright…" Jiao Cong Ming pouted as he threw all of his belongings to the floor. He couldn't change inns, but sightseeing wouldn't be a problem, right?
"Guys you can go sightseeing, but please be back before 9 p.m. I don't want our team to be in trouble later." Li Shi Ying too put down all her things inside the room before she allowed her team members to go relax at the town.
By now, all her team members already considered her as the team leader, even though Feng Wang Zi still didn't want to be ordered around, he knew Li Shi Ying had a good point in saying all of these things, so he only silently obeyed.
5 minutes later…
All of the people in the room had gone out to play, leaving behind Li Shi Ying and Long Ao Zhen to be busy tidying up the room.
