When Lan Xinyu heard this, he was stunned, then thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "Wow! Chu Xi, your description is so apt, but isn't it like this! Alas, it is such a pity for this good city
Ah, what a pity, what a pity.”
Lan Xinyu kept lamenting, and no one noticed the complicated expression on Ling Bo's face as he lowered his head.
Seeing that it was already getting late, Ling Chuxi was not in a hurry and decided to stay in Tianxing City for one night and stop by the Zhengzun Tower tomorrow morning before returning to Ling's house.
There are not many other things in Tianxing City, but inns can be found everywhere. This also confirms Ling Bo's words. In the past, Tianxing City was indeed populated by merchants and cultivators. Otherwise, who would live in so many inns?
They chose an inn that was slightly remote but quiet and elegant, and a few people walked in.
"Please come in, please. I don't know if it's a tip or..." As soon as the guests came in, the shopkeeper greeted them happily. It was obvious that business was not easy to do and it was deserted.
"Two upper rooms." Ling Chuxi said directly to the shopkeeper.
"Okay, okay, two upper rooms. It's a coincidence that you guys came here today. Those upper rooms happened to be unoccupied. If it had been another day, you might not have been able to book one even if you booked a month in advance." The shopkeeper smiled to himself.
Everything was happy. Ever since Qixing City returned to the three great families of Huang, Cuichai and Chai, the business has been deteriorating day by day. He was talking about the past, and even he couldn't remember whether it was twenty years ago or thirty years ago.
"How much?" Ling Chuxi asked.
"There are a thousand five-color spiritual stones in the room every night. If you stay for a long time, you can get a discount." The shopkeeper said.
"It's so expensive. I remember it used to be two hundred five-color spiritual stones per night, wasn't it?" Ling Bo said in surprise. Since leaving the Ling family, he has not been to Seven Star City for many years, and he didn't expect that it would cost more than just entering the city.
Several times, even the inns have increased their prices.
"Haha, what this old gentleman was talking about happened many years ago." The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "Since the owner of Seven Star City changed, our monthly payment has increased several times, and the rent can only be
If you don’t believe it, you can ask, not only my house, but also all the inns in Qixing City have seen their room rates increase several times."
"Forget it, if the price increases, just increase the price. Anyway, it's just for one night." Ling Chuxi said nonchalantly. She could see that the shopkeeper was not lying. Besides, the three great families of Huang, Cui, and Chai were doing everything they could to make money.
The entrance fee to the city has been increased several times. It would be strange if we don't make a lot of money from these inns and restaurants.
"Oh, how could this be possible? Don't they know how much manpower and material resources were spent to build Seven Star City back then, so they are not afraid of destroying Seven Star City by doing this?" Ling Bo shook his head and sighed.
"Forget it, it's not from my family anyway, let them do whatever they like." Ling Chuxi said, taking out the storage bag and taking two thousand five-color spiritual stones to the shopkeeper. Ling Chuxi did not see it.
, when she said these words, Ling Bo's expression became more complicated.
"Shopkeeper Yu, come to the upper room." At this moment, a familiar voice sounded outside the door.
A girl walked in proudly, followed by an elegant young man. Coincidentally, they were the two people they met at the city gate earlier.
"Miss Ou, what kind of wind has brought you here? Why don't you see Mr. Ou?" As soon as he saw the girl, the shopkeeper immediately greeted her and asked respectfully.
