Kainan City wasn’t far from Hangkang City, a distance of around 160 kilometers; a two-hour drive on the highway would get you there.
The accommodation had been booked ahead of time, right near the Kainan Pet Beast Battle Field at the Shengcheng Hotel.
The hotel’s name had a nice implication, it was conveniently close to the Kainan Pet Beast Battle Field, and the price was quite reasonable, so much so that schools coming for the competition had basically booked it out for the upcoming period.
The school bus stopped at an intersection about 100 meters away from the Shengcheng Hotel.
Xu Yixuan half-opened her eyes, glanced out of the window, and mumbled, "Why are we stopping here?"
Qiao Sang got up and said, "I’m getting off here."
At that, Xu Yixuan was fully awake, "Why are you getting off here?"
"I don’t want Yaobao to always stay in the Beast Taming Codex, so I found a hotel with bigger rooms to stay in," Qiao Sang answered and got off the bus.
Liu Yao stood up and followed behind.
Xu Yixuan was stunned for a good long while; when the bus started moving again, she finally came to and, with a sudden realization, turned to He Daotao who was sitting beside her and said:
"So, you’re saying we can switch accommodations if we’re not satisfied? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I was a bit displeased with the places the school arranged during the competition in the past couple of years, not to mention the small rooms, sometimes the hotels didn’t even have training grounds for pet beasts."
"How about I suggest to Teacher Sun now that we switch to a different hotel?"
He Daotao gave her a glance, "If one of your pet beasts evolves now, I think Teacher Sun might agree."
Xu Yixuan: "..."
...
After getting off the bus, Qiao Sang was surprised to find that the vice-principal had also followed.
"Vice-Principal, are you taking me to the hotel?" Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.
Liu Yao was taken aback for a moment, "Otherwise?"
I’m old enough, why would I need an escort... Qiao Sang scratched her head, feeling a bit embarrassed, "I can go by myself, no need for an escort."
Liu Yao paused, then asked, "If you go by yourself, who will pay?"
Qiao Sang was stunned, "You’re helping me pay?"
Liu Yao answered with a smile, "To be precise, the school is paying."
Normally, all expenses during the competition would have to be requested from parents, but Shengshui Middle School had deep reserves, and the funding allocated by the government was substantial, so they effortlessly took on this expense.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and did not refuse; whether she paid with the Black Gold Card or the school paid, it made no real difference to her.
...
Rui Lai Hotel.
"What? 770,000?" Liu Yao was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, sir, this lady has reserved our presidential suite," the staff member maintained a proper smile.
Presidential suite? Liu Yao turned sharply to look at Qiao Sang.
Qiao Sang flashed her bright white teeth.
Liu Yao: "..."
"I’ll pay for it myself," seeing that the vice-principal didn’t seem to move to pay, Qiao Sang very perceptively said.
As she spoke, she began to reach for her card.
She absolutely wouldn’t be staying if it weren’t for her unlimited Black Gold Card to foot the bill for such an expensive room.
"No need," Liu Yao recovered and stopped her, "I said the school would pay, so the school will pay."
770,000 wasn’t a lot for him, but he wasn’t sure how the school would consider this sum; but what the heck, that was Wang Weidou’s problem anyway.
With that thought, Liu Yao took out his card decisively.
At the same time, Wang Weidou’s right eyelid twitched, but he didn’t take it seriously and continued to smile, speaking to the man in front of him:
"So Li Tang went to stay at the Rui Lai Hotel, that’s really a pity. I was actually hoping to have a chat with Principal Huang from their school."
...
Rui Lai Hotel.
Top floor.
Presidential suite.
Qiao Sang was satisfied as she looked around the luxuriously decorated residence that spanned more than 500 square meters.
