Millennium Tension

Chapter 62: Return To Cozy Inn

"Mr. Yin, it is already night. We should excuse ourselves for the preparations for tomorrow." Aizen lightly excused himself after all their interests had been completed.

Master Yin understands what is meant for tomorrow. Tomorrow is indeed a day that is anticipated by all the younger generation under 25 who are gathering in this city.

The gate to the new hidden realm is very rarely found and will be greeted enthusiastically if found. Tomorrow is the time when the gate to the hidden realm is fully open and can be entered by anyone, but the rules apply to everyone too.

For vanguard teams from various places, only three talented people will enter in advance with a maximum period of one month to return and report on the situation in the hidden realm, and that the team has the freedom to decide which loot they can keep for themselves, sell, or other.

Whereas people who don't have backing like rogue cultivators, they can also enter the initial opening as long as they are under 25 years old. Although they usually do not dare to venture deep into the hidden realm.

"Well. Well then, see you later. I still owe you one favor." Master Yin did not linger any further even though he still wanted to make small talk with Aizen. He wants to build rapport, but he realizes that he can't overdo it at least not for now.

"Hehe... Just relax. May you achieve your hopes and dreams." Aizen left from there with Ana and Axel who accompanied him faithfully from the side.

Master Yin knew very well what Aizen meant, it was about his soul wounds that would soon recover. Maybe next month he will be born again. Meanwhile, Zi Mei looked at the back of Aizen's group as if she was daydreaming, and that did not escape Master Yin's observant eyes.

"Arara ~ Little Zi Mei... Have you been smitten with Master Aizen? Hmm... Unfortunately, he already has two very beautiful women by his side." Master Yin teased his youngest disciple.

"Master! What are you saying!" Zi Mei immediately came out of her reverie and blushed fiercely.

"Look at your blushing face, tell me, what do you think of Master Aizen and his two girls after you became their maid of honor during the auction?"

"Umm... Even though I don't know what the faces of the three of them look like, but I know they must be very extraordinary, their status is very high, strength cannot be measured, very rich..."

Zi Mei said what Master Yin knew, but he still put a smile on his feminine face to his disciple as if asking her to continue.

"However, Young Master Aizen is very different from other high-status people. He even asked me to sit with them instead of letting me stand alone during the auction. He also treated his woman very well and was very considerate. Their new beautiful hairstyles were the result of his arrangement."

Master Yin coughed a little at that, he still remembered the time when he was sent out delicately before. The disciple sat sweetly with them, but the host was kicked out.

It seems like he came at the wrong time and didn't have a role there. Previously, he saw the girl sitting on his lap seemed unhappy when he arrived. Perhaps because of that, Master Aizen evicted himself politely.

"Hmm... Is that so. Since we don't participate in exploration with the vanguard team tomorrow, why don't you hone your skills, little Zi Mei? Maybe when Master Aizen returns, he will glance at you and appoint you as his servant?"

Master Yin teased once again as if he were trying to become a matchmaker of his youngest disciple without any other purpose. Although he wanted to establish a mutually beneficial relationship with Aizen, he was not despicable until he used his disciple for that purpose.

He might have thought of eight of his disciples as his daughters he had raised, although in fact some of them also had families out there and he didn't really raise them.

"..." Zi Mei understood what her master meant and began to blush again but she just kept quiet as if she was considering something in her mind.

"Fufufu... It's already late. You can go back to your quarter. Getting enough sleep is good to maintain the beauty of your skin..." Master Yin was happy that his disciple seemed to agree with him.

"Then I will excuse myself."

Zi Mei immediately ran away from him as if afraid that her master would tempt her even further. But she also remembers that her senior sister will disturb her tonight, it seems the night will be long for her.

Master Yin smiled seeing his youngest and prettiest disciple was running away in a hurry while blushing. He began to wish, perhaps from the eight disciples, it was the youngest who would find her spring first.

His disciples are indeed talented which he adopts with many considerations. Zi Mei the youngest actually has the highest cultivation of all his disciples. She has reached the level of the 1st Nascent Spirit Realm at the age of 21 years.

Even so, he did not want to make his disciples take the risk of initial exploration in the hidden realm which was very dangerous. The Vanguard team that will be sent tomorrow is not as cool and glorious as it sounds.

Master Yin knows very well the mindset of higher-ups in each sect. Although the vanguard team is the most talented in the young generation in their sect, they are nothing more than a scouting team to find out how dangerous the hidden realm is, then they have to report back and the higher-ups will be sent by other teams.

The Twilight Amphitheater is just a luxury building used as an auction house that also works as a merchant backed by the auction house association, it is no more than a small sect with eight disciples and one master.

Therefore, Master Yin will not send his disciples as a vanguard team who are at great risk of losing their lives, he really values them like family because he was originally a rogue cultivator without anyone and anything. He would only send them in as a follow-up team the following month after the vanguard team returned from there.

Meanwhile, Aizen, Ana, and Axel return to 'Cozy Inn' with a light heart and are happy for different reasons.

Aizen was happy because he got a stone with a space law that might help Axel's technique of teleporting without runes as an accurate point, Ana was happy because after having fun watching several losers compete with each other at auction and shopping with Aizen and Axel, while Axel was happy because she indeed feels happy.

"Big Brother and Big Sisters! You're back!" A little girl welcomed them from the reception desk cheerfully before she approached them.

"Huh? Little Xiao hasn't slept? It's not good for a young girl at your age not getting enough sleep, you know?" Aizen lightly stroked the hair of the little girl who welcomed them.

"Un! I'm going to sleep after this." Little Xiao nodded and smiled happily.

"Welcome back, Young Master Aizen." Ms. Han who was at the reception desk greeted them.

"Um. Greetings, Ms. Han. Well... Isn't that great now that all the rooms are full. But why are there only three of you working? No servants or employees?" Aizen cordially greets back to Ms. Han, he also made small talk after seeing the guest list was full, according to his estimates given the city became crowded from visitors.

"Our inn's door is not open for 24 hours. We are enough to take care of 12 rooms. One hour before midnight, we will close the inn's door." Ms. Han explained briefly and kindly.

"That sounds good." Aizen did not linger in the pleasantries. Since law and orders are still running in the city, they might be okay because Ms. Han and Pak Guo are as strong as the majority of the city guards.

"Little Xiao, take this and go to sleep. Maybe you will have a nice dream tonight." Aizen gives her a cute rabbit doll and puts a nice hairpin in her hair.

"Hehe... Thank you, Big Brother! Have a nice dream!"

Little Xiao hugged the doll with a sweet smile on her sleepy face, she thanked Aizen before trotting with her tiny feet to a room in the dining room and kitchen behind the receptionist lobby, it seemed their private room was there.

"You are so kind, young master. Thank you for your gift to our daughter, little Xiao seems to idolize you, she even refuses to sleep until you return." Ms. Han smiled wryly.

"Well. She deserves it because she is a good girl. Good night, Ms. Han." Aizen finishes their conversation and goes up with Ana and Axel.

The three of them did not realize it, the figure of the three of them had been awaited by three girls they had never expected before.
