Supreme Sword Sovereign

Murong?

Upon hearing these two words, everyone's hearts shivered, and they suddenly realized.

This middle-aged man was actually from the Murong Family, whose profound heritage even the Great Qi Dynasty looked up to!

No wonder!

Innkeeper Song was so terrified!

Despite his imposing presence in front of others, before Murong Chuan, he was nothing more than a mere servant!

And Gu Han...

The crowd looked at him with complex expressions.

Why had this youth, whom they thought was ignorant of the ways of the world, suddenly become a distinguished guest in Murong Chuan's eyes?

Could it be...

All because of that unremarkable, broken iron badge?

On the ground.

Innkeeper Song was still kneeling, trembling, not daring to lift his head.

Not far away.

Liu Tong's face was pale, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness, and a subtle hint of terror.

And Liu Ying...

Her heart had turned cold.

How similar was this scene to the one in front of Doctor Xue's door earlier?

She suddenly felt a sting on her face.

"Senior."

Seeing Murong Chuan's courteous demeanor, Gu Han was somewhat puzzled.

"Today..."

"It's a trifle!"

Murong Chuan waved his hand, not taking the situation seriously, but instead asked another question.

"You just mentioned the young miss's name, may I ask your relation with her..."

"Young Miss? Murong Yan?"

"Exactly!"

"She... ahem..."

The word 'sister'.

Gu Han really couldn't bring himself to say it.

"She told us to call her sister!"

Luckily, Ah-Sha timely helped him out of the predicament.

"Sister?"

This time.

It was Murong Chuan's turn to be stunned.

"Yes!"

Ah-Sha's little face was filled with earnestness.

"Murong sister is really nice to us, very enthusiastic, it's just that her strength is a bit too much, she almost flattened the young master..."

"..."

Gu Han faintly felt his shoulder starting to ache again.

Brother and sister?

Murong Chuan's eyelids twitched.

The relationship between Gu Han and Murong Yan was closer than he had imagined, no wonder she had given away such a precious and special token from the family.

"Murong Innkeeper."

To the side.

Liu Tong was somewhat unwilling to accept this.

Of course, he lowered his posture as much as possible.

"About today's matter, this junior..."

"Little brother."

Murong Chuan directly ignored him, turning his gaze back to Gu Han.

"I see you've been injured, you must have just experienced the demonic beast rampage. You should focus on recuperating to avoid any lingering issues!"

Behind him.

Liu Tong's face instantly turned beet red.

However.

He didn't dare to make a scene.

Although he was arrogant and domineering, he wasn't foolish. He understood that Murong Chuan was not someone he could afford to offend, not just him, even if his cousin, the Crown Prince, were here, it would be useless!

"But..."

Ah-Sha glared at Liu Tong.

She clearly hadn't forgotten his aggressive behavior just now.

"This man said, my young master doesn't qualify for a Jia category room."

Gu Han felt somewhat gratified.

Ah-Sha had indeed become smarter.

"Doesn't qualify?"

Murong Chuan scoffed.

"Nonsense! As the most honored guest of the Murong Family, not only does the young brother qualify for a Jia category room, but even the Heavenly Grade Room is at his disposal!"

With these words.

Everyone exchanged glances.

"Heavenly Grade Room?"

"How come I've never heard of it?"

"Yeah, isn't the most expensive room here the Jia category room?"

"I have heard of it, the Heavenly Grade Room is never open to the public, reserved for the most distinguished guests. Those who qualify to stay there are at the very least, royal retainers of high caliber!"

Royal retainers?

The crowd was shocked.

Those few retainers had unfathomable strength, usually reclusive and rarely seen, they were the highest-ranking individuals in the Great Qi Dynasty, second only to the ruler!

After the discussion.

There was silence.@@novelbin@@

The young man they had previously seen as brash and ignorant had suddenly become the most honored guest of the Murong Family. The huge disparity made them feel a mix of emotions, quite unpleasant.

"You..."

Murong Chuan finally glanced at Liu Tong.

"Are you Liu Tong?"

"Murong Innkeeper, I..."

"No need for more words, you've offended the honored guest of the Murong Family, which is an offense to the Murong Family itself! Here's what we'll do, I won't use my cultivation level to bully you. Kneel down and apologize to this young brother, and we'll call it even for today. Otherwise, no one can save you today."

These words.

Were almost identical to what Liu Tong had previously demanded of Gu Han!

Instantly.

The expressions of the crowd became extremely interesting.

They never imagined that the tables would turn so swiftly, the one who had demanded Gu Han to kneel was now in a position to kneel before Gu Han!

Gu Han, however, had a strange look on his face.

He understood.

All the talk of not being able to welcome him was just an excuse.

Murong Chuan had probably witnessed the entire incident from the start, he just hadn't shown himself. If Gu Han hadn't produced the token in time and mentioned Murong Yan's name, Murong Chuan wouldn't have bothered with such trivial matters.

"I..."

Liu Tong was dying of shame.

At this moment.

His situation was exactly like Gu Han's!

He finally understood the taste of being caught between a rock and a hard place, it was more unbearable than death!

"To kneel, or not to kneel?"

Murong Chuan was slightly displeased.

"If the young brother's injury worsens because of your delay, then today's consequences won't be as simple as kneeling!"

Outside.

The crowd once again started discussing.

"What do you think?"

One person whispered, "Will Young Master Liu kneel, or..."

Thud!

Before he could finish his sentence, a clear sound of someone kneeling echoed to everyone's ears.

The person's expression froze.

Young Master Liu had given in too quickly!

Liu Tong was not Gu Han.

Nor did he have Gu Han's backbone.

Those who liked to bully the weak.

Were naturally very afraid of the strong.

"Today... I have offended you!"

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

These words were almost bitten out one by one.

Gu Han remained silent, contemplative.

He was now certain that Murong Chuan could make the previously arrogant and domineering Liu Tong kneel with just a word, which was enough to show that the strength and heritage of the Murong Family far exceeded his imagination!

"..."

Seeing that Gu Han didn't even glance at him, Liu Tong clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bloodshot, and without another word, he stood up and left, not even caring about Liu Ying, the goddess in his heart.

And Liu Ying...

Her face no longer hurt.

She had no face left!

Sigh...

She took a deep breath, suppressing the humiliation in her heart, and was about to leave.

"Wait."

Gu Han suddenly spoke.

"What for?"

Liu Ying's figure paused, and facing the crowd's strange gazes, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Remember."

Gu Han's expression was serious.

"This is the last time, next time, don't blame me for not being polite."

Today's incident, although a coincidence, would never have escalated to this point without her provocative words.

Gu Han let her off.

Purely because of the slight past affection.

Of course.

After today, that bit of affection was also exhausted.

"..."

Hearing this, the thorn in Liu Ying's heart dug deeper, she didn't respond, but walked straight through the crowd and disappeared from sight.

"Young Master."

Ah-Sha frowned.

"Why has Miss Liu become so disagreeable?"

"It's not surprising."

Gu Han shook his head.

"Actually, this is her truest side."

"Little brother."

At this moment.

Murong Chuan spoke again, "This ungrateful wretch has offended an honored guest, how to deal with him is up to you."

He was referring to.

Naturally, it was Song Xing.

"Spare my life!"

Song Xing was terrified out of his wits.

"Innkeeper, I've served you for so many years, if not for merit, then for hard work, please show mercy and spare me this once!"

As glorious as he was before.

Now he was just as pitiful.

"Song Xing."

Murong Chuan shook his head.

"Over the years, you've lined your pockets and engaged in many shady dealings behind the scenes, making a fortune. I've seen it all, and the only reason I haven't touched you is because of the years of our association! But today's matter is different, you know the significance of that token, so pleading with me is useless!"

"Little brother!"

Song Xing suddenly turned to Gu Han, pleading incessantly.

"I was blind and failed to recognize a great man, I was blind! You... You are a distinguished guest of the Murong Family, just say a word to the innkeeper, spare me this once! I... I will never dare again!"

"Senior."

Gu Han was expressionless.

"This is a family matter of the Murong Family, it's not appropriate for an outsider like me to intervene."

"Oh?"

Murong Chuan was somewhat surprised.

"Then according to the young brother's wishes..."

"Simple, just follow the rules of the Murong Family, no need to ask me."

"I understand."

Murong Chuan sighed softly.

"Take him away, send him back to the family, and deal with him according to family law!"

Upon hearing this.

Song Xing's face turned ashen, utterly despairing, his body limp as mud, he was taken away by two expressionless men in black robes, and what awaited him... would be the Murong Family's most severe punishment!

"I thought..."

Murong Chuan smiled wryly.

"You would repay evil with good and let him go."

His intention was actually to let Song Xing off the hook, which is why he had given the decision to Gu Han, hoping that Gu Han, being young, might let Song Xing off the hook if he pleaded enough, but he didn't expect Gu Han to not take the bait, tossing the decision right back.

As a result.

Bound by the family rules, even if he wanted to show favoritism, it was now impossible.

"Repay evil with good?"

Gu Han shook his head.

"Others might, but I prefer to repay grievances directly."

Repay grievances directly.

Murong Chuan savored these words and suddenly laughed.

At this moment.

He began to understand why Murong Yan had taken a liking to Gu Han.

"Let it be."

He didn't dwell on it any longer.

Song Xing's fate was his own doing, no one else to blame, and it would be foolish to hold a grudge over it.

Outside.

As the drama concluded, the crowd gradually dispersed.

It wouldn't take long for today's events to spread throughout the Capital.

Not to mention Gu Han.

Liu Tong's name would become known to every household.

"Little brother."

Murong Chuan gestured invitingly.

"Come with me, the Heavenly Grade Room has been vacant for several years, it's as if it was waiting just for you."

"Senior."

Gu Han was somewhat tempted.

"How much does the Heavenly Grade Room cost?"

"This..."

Murong Chuan was a bit puzzled.

"If it's just to stay, it's not very expensive, ten Spirit Sources per day, but if you want to use other features, that's extra..."

"Senior!"

Gu Han suddenly interrupted him.

"I think the Jia category room is quite nice too."

"Why, do you know how many people wish to stay in the Heavenly Grade Room and yet..."

"Senior."

Gu Han suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

"I... don't have that much money."

Ten Spirit Sources a day!

That's at least ten thousand Yuan Crystals!

And that's just the basic fee!

Even if he spent all his wealth, he couldn't afford to stay for many days!

"That's right, that's right."

Ah-Sha quickly agreed.

"My young master is very poor!"

"..."

Murong Chuan was speechless.

"Little brother, you don't think you have to pay to stay in the Heavenly Grade Room, do you?"

"Huh?"

Gu Han's eyes lit up.

"It's free?"

"Hahaha..."

Murong Chuan laughed heartily.

He suddenly found Gu Han to be a very interesting person.

"It seems the young brother is not yet aware of how significant the token in your hand really is."
