A Beta boy working part-time in another world

Downstairs, as soon as Ye Sui came down, Shao Qing stopped him and asked, "What's going on with the guy upstairs? The room smells too bloody, and the guests next door have complained."

Ye Sui explained: "I went to see, one of the two was injured. I changed his bandage, but I don't know if he can make it."

Hearing this, Shao Qing frowned and said, "Their rent hasn't been paid yet, they can't die."

"Well, I'll go up and take a look in an hour."

Shao Qing nodded with satisfaction, "Then I'll trouble you with this matter."

Neither he nor Bao An wanted to have too much contact with immortal cultivators, so Ye Sui, as a human, was the best choice.

The point is, those two guests haven't paid yet.

Their spending in the past half month is not a small amount.

The city is bustling today, and Muyun City is bustling with people.

It's like we're going to hold some event and are making preparations in advance.

Ye Sui curiously asked Bao An: "Why is it so lively outside? Is there an event going on?"

"You didn't know?" Bao An looked at Ye Sui in surprise and put the table towel over his shoulder.

"I've never been out, so I don't know what's going on outside."

"Oh, that's right." Bao An remembered that the boss had told Ye Sui not to leave the restaurant casually.

It’s normal that Ye Sui doesn’t know.

He smiled and kept the secret for a while before saying, "At the end of this month, there will be a spiritual test ceremony for the son of the Lord of Muyun City. Many children over the age of eight from the families will be sent to Muyun City to try their luck."

Ye Sui was puzzled: "Spirit-testing ritual?"

"You don't know this either?"

Ye Sui shook his head: "Never heard of it."

As a person living in the 21st century, he naturally has no knowledge in this area.

Bao An then explained, "There is a sect a thousand miles outside of Muyun City. Every few years, they come to the mortal world to look for children with great qualifications and bring them to the sect to be accepted as disciples."

"This spirit-testing ritual is to test whether these children are qualified."

"That's it."

Bao An nodded, changed a table to clean, and then said: "The test will be held in the square in the city. There will be many people watching, and it will be very lively. The children who come to take the test will leave a few days in advance, and some will leave one to two months in advance. The inn will be crowded at this time."

As soon as the two of them started talking about this topic, a guest came to the door.

Bao An was tired of wiping the table, so he put away his handkerchief and ran over.

"Would you like to stay in a hotel or have a meal?"

"I want three guest rooms."

"Okay!" Bao An took the guests upstairs.

Ye Sui looked up curiously and found that it was a couple with their children, with a total of three children. One of them was dressed a little shabbily and was walking at the end of the team.

It can be seen that the first two children are the couple's biological children, and as for the last one, it is probably given to them by a relative.

I guess he was also participating in the spirit-testing ceremony.

The child had extremely sharp eyes. Ye Sui just looked at him curiously, and the child walking in the middle of the stairs turned his head sharply and looked down at Ye Sui below.

He felt that the waiter had no ill intentions, so he withdrew his gaze and disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

Bao An booked three rooms for the guests and let them arrange their stay as they wish.

As soon as the waiter left, the couple arranged the best room for their daughter, the middle room for their son, and the last one, of course, was theirs.

Finally, the boy saw that he had no room and asked the man in confusion.

"Uncle, where should I sleep?"

The man called Second Uncle frowned and didn't even try to hide the disgust in his eyes, but the child didn't care.

"You still want to sleep in the room?" The man laughed. "This corridor is very wide, just find a place to sleep. This room is free, do you think you deserve it?"

Seeing that he was getting more and more outrageous, the woman next to him pulled him back.

"Husband, that's enough, stop talking."

Unexpectedly, the woman's advice made the man even angrier. He turned around and yelled at her: "You are a woman, why are you talking so much? Go back to the room."

The woman was helpless and returned to her guest room in dejection.

She was a lowly person with little influence, and even though she felt a little sorry for the child, she could not influence her husband's thoughts.

Outside the house, the man warned the child fiercely.

"Don't play tricks on me. I've provided you with food and drink, and raised you up to this age. I've wasted so much money. If you dare to play tricks on me, I'll break your legs!"

After saying that, the man rummaged around and took out a few pieces of silver and threw them at the boy's feet.

"Go buy me some food, and remember to bargain with the waiter."

After the man finished speaking, he went back to the room without looking back, leaving the child squatting on the ground picking up the change.

Ye Sui and Bao An were unaware of what was happening upstairs.

They cleared the table and entertained two more tables of guests.

Ye Sui came out from the kitchen with wine for the guests and saw the child who had just come upstairs standing by the counter, talking to Shaoqing, who had a frown on his brow.

When he came back from delivering the wine to the guests' table, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Shaoqing explained: "He wanted to use this little change to buy food for five people."

"This..." Ye Sui took a look at the change in the child's hand. It was indeed not enough.

The child stood in front of the two men in embarrassment, not saying a word.

Maybe he knew that such a small amount of money was not enough to buy meals for five people, and he didn't know what to do.

Ye Sui thought of a compromise, "Shaoqing, how about I ask Brother Kong to cook some vegetarian dishes?"

Shao Qing thought about it and decided to do it. He held out his hand to the child and said, "Take it."

After solving the problem of food, the child did not go upstairs. Instead, he found an empty seat in the corner and sat down, looking at everything around him with an uneasy look.

After a while, Ye Sui came out with the food and asked the child.

"Are you going to eat downstairs or upstairs?"

"Eat upstairs."

"Come on, I'll take it up to you."

The child grabbed Ye Sui's clothes and shook his head at him, "Give it to me, I'll bring it up."

"Row."

Ye Sui brought the food to him and went to do other things.

After this incident, a few days passed and Muyun City became more lively than before.

The rooms in their inn were almost fully booked, with only a few of the best rooms remaining vacant.

Ye Sui discovered that people in this world attached great importance to the spirit-testing ritual.

Everyone hopes that their children will have the talent to embark on the path to immortality and escape from the mundane world.

The sun is shining today.

Ye Sui carried a bucket of water to the guest room on the third floor.

When I opened the door, the air in the room was much better than the first time I came in.

Yan Fei's wound was healing and his complexion was much better than a few days ago. He still had the energy to lean on the bed and read a book. When he saw him push open the door and carry a bucket of hot water, he looked at him curiously.

"You are such an interesting little guy."

Ye Sui glanced at him lightly, said nothing, and buried his head in cleaning the table.

Room service cleaning is the rule of the hotel.

Yan Fei closed the book and wanted to read but couldn't concentrate. The noise downstairs made him unable to sleep well for the past few days.

"Waiter, why is your store so noisy these days?"

"In reply to the Immortal Lord, the spirit-testing ceremony will be held in a few days. Many customers have come to the store. I am sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you."

"Spirit-testing ritual..." Yan Fei counted with his fingers, and it was true.

He was so busy that he forgot.

Calculating the time, now is the time when Xiaoyao Sect is recruiting disciples. I don’t know which senior brother or sister will come to arrange the test of spiritual roots.
