Xu Qian took out the key card and opened the door to the hotel room, while Shi Diandian stood behind him with his head lowered, neither of them speaking.
Just a few minutes ago, when Xu Qian asked the front desk to rent two rooms, Shi Diandian whispered in Xu Qian's ear with a blush on his face, "I am not yet a minor and cannot rent a room by myself..."
Xu Qian immediately told the front desk lady that he wanted to use his ID card to open two rooms.
"I'm sorry, sir, according to relevant regulations, one ID card can only open one room."
Xu Qian was really stunned this time, "I can only...get one room..." When he said this, he didn't even dare to look at Shi Diandian.
"Then let's take one room!" Shi Diandian was much calmer than Xu Qian.
"Please help me get... a room!" Xiao Xu's voice was much softer than before, and he was also embarrassed to look at the face of the young lady at the front desk.
This was his first time sharing a room with a girl in a hotel. Not to mention shy, at least he felt guilty.
"Sir, would you like to check in alone or with two people?"
The young lady at the front desk has never seen anything like this before. She has seen this kind of novice couple opening a room many times, and she has already made a judgment in her heart. She is very professional and will not show anything on her expression.
"Two... two people..." The voice that answered this time was as thin as a mosquito.
"Sir, if there are two people, you need to show two ID cards." The lady at the front desk could tell that Shi Diandian was younger, so she might not have gotten her ID card yet. In this position, they won't meddle in other people's business, but their certificates must still meet the requirements.
Being a minor does not mean that you do not have an ID card. In fact, most high school sophomores have already received their ID cards, but they just don't have them with them. How could someone with storage space like Shi Diandian not bring his ID?
Xu Qian was too nervous, and he had just lived in this world for less than a year, so his instinctive reaction was to directly link being underage with not having an ID card.
"What should I do?" He was not asking the young lady at the front desk, but just talking to himself. Unexpectedly, the young lady at the front desk said, "Sir, do you want to book a room first? The guest's friend is visiting. No registration certificate is required.”
Xu Qian's reaction was much slower than Shi Diandian's. Before he heard this suggestion, Shi Diandian had already taken out his ID card and immediately put it back.
"What? What did you say?" Xu Qian also understood the meaning.
"Sir, would you like a double bed room or a business suite?" The lady at the front desk pretended that she had never said that. There's only so much people can help.
"The big one, I want the big one!" Xu Qian had completely understood. He didn't even think of such a simple operation.
In fact, if he wants the young lady at the front desk to do what he wants, there are many ways he can do it. For example, let the branch say something, for example, he slightly affects the opponent's soul and makes it confused. But to do this, you have to resort to the special bureau or use monks' methods, which is too bullying. He didn't even want the lady at the front desk to recognize him. He didn't even need a golden mask to deal with ordinary people. He could make some changes in his appearance in the other person's eyes with just a few tricks.
"Sir, your name is exactly the same as Xu Tianwang!" The lady at the front desk glanced at Xu Qian with a slightly surprised expression.
"Yes, there's nothing special about this name. It's normal to have the same name."
The two of them didn't say a word from the time they took the elevator upstairs to entering the room. It wasn't until they entered the room that Xu Qian looked at the structure and layout of the room, and then said, "You can sleep in the bedroom, and I can sleep in the living room."
"How can this be done? You have a test tomorrow, so you need to get some rest!"
"You won't feel sleepy even if you don't sleep for a month in the phaseless state, and I don't need it. Besides, even if you give me a bed to sleep on, I'm just practicing and won't really sleep."
"If you don't do well in the exam then, don't blame me. I won't take the blame."
There was nothing to say all night long. Xu Qian practiced with his eyes closed on the sofa in the living room all night. Shi Diandian stayed in the room all night. The next day, the two of them came to the examination room.
Xu Qian was wearing a school uniform, which he had not worn for a long time. Since he was here for an exam, he should look like a student. Shi Diandian also changed her clothes, but it was just a different set of Lolita-style clothes. She came to accompany the exam, and like many parents, she stood outside the exam room and became a special scenery.
Some media have long noticed that Xu Qian is also a candidate of this year, and they don’t know where the news leaked out. These people found out clearly where Xu Tianwang’s examination place and subjects were tested, and they lurked outside the examination room early in the morning. The long guns and short cannons were set up, and when Xu Qian appeared, he was slapped hard. Xu Qian was dressed in a rare student uniform, which was enough to excite them. He was accompanied by a cute Lolita girl. Such a photo was enough to arouse eyeballs once it was posted.
Of course Xu Qian discovered this, but he was also helpless. With so many people outside the examination room, it was hard for him to make any noise. The parents and candidates hadn't recognized him yet, so it would definitely cause a commotion. , if it affected the exam, he would be guilty of a big crime, so he could only let the media take a few more photos.
The three-day exam went by quickly. On the evening of the 9th, Xu Qian walked out of the exam room, and Shi Diandian was waiting outside as usual.
"How about it?"
"That's it."
"What's that like? You haven't said anything to me these past few days. Now that the exam is over, you can tell me!"
"Every time I take an exam, I feel the same. There is nothing special, so there is nothing to say!" Xu Qian indeed felt that there was nothing to say. For most people, there may be differences between good and bad performance, and difficult and easy questions, but Xu Qian did not feel this way. He just took the exam, did the questions, and then handed in the paper.
Suddenly, Xu Qian frowned and said to Shi Diandian in a deep voice: "You go back to the hotel first, I have something to do."
Before Shi Diandian could respond, Xu Qian's figure disappeared instantly. Several people around them also noticed Xu Qian's disappearance. Some blinked and some rubbed their eyes, all thinking there was something wrong with their eyes.
Shi Diandian was still in the phaseless state after all, so he could still figure out the general situation clearly.
"Who is that old woman? Xu Qian feels as if he is facing a powerful enemy when he sees her. Is she in danger?"
On a mountain on the outskirts of the city, Xu Qian followed an old woman to the ground.
"Meng Po, did Emperor Hades send you to find me?"
The old woman Shi Diandian refers to is Po Meng, one of the core figures of the Underworld Palace. Her position is military advisor, a top Taiqing, and she is also An Weiwei's master.
Mrs. Meng waved her hand, and a substantial spirit appeared in front of Xu Qian's eyes.
"Li Weihan?" Xu Qian shouted in surprise.
The Li Weihan I met earlier was still a human being. Even though the skin was taken from a dead body, it was still flesh and blood. Today's Li Weihan, from the perspective of ordinary people, is just a ghost.
The soul has become substantial, but it has no original will and no body. Xu Qian was able to recognize it immediately based on his familiarity with the person's aura.
"Did you kill him?"
"It was you who killed him!" Po Meng's tone left no room for doubt, "If he hadn't been instigated by you to sneak into the underworld, he wouldn't have died. However, Xu Qian, I also want to thank you. Such a strong soul is rare to see in a thousand years. With his joining, my path of ghost cultivation will be much stronger."
"Do you also practice ghost cultivation?" He regretted asking this. An Weiwei learned the method of ghost cultivation from Po Meng, so Po Meng was naturally an expert.
To put it bluntly, the way of ghost cultivation is to raise ghosts. If you raise a few powerful substantive souls, you can become a powerful team by yourself, and you can crush other monks of the same level in terms of quantity and quality. .
"The way of ghost cultivation benefits others and myself. If I hadn't cultivated him into ghost cultivation, he would really be dead."
An Weiwei and Xu Qian introduced the ghost cultivator. As long as the ghost cultivator can break through the ninth level, the ghost cultivator can regain complete consciousness, no longer be controlled by the rules of heaven and earth, and gain new life.
"Why did you come to me? Isn't it just to show me your new ghost cultivation?"
Po Meng snorted coldly, "Boy, don't you know who I came to see you for? It seems that she is really blind."
"Weiwei? What happened to her?" Mrs. Meng had already made it so obvious. He would be really stupid if he couldn't guess who she was talking about.
"You still have some conscience." Mrs. Meng's tone softened a little, "What have you two done that you don't know?"
