"Everyone, quiet down!"
At the service desk of the Bloodline Sanctuary, the staff were overwhelmed today. Lin Xinrou, who had been promoted to supervisor, shouted loudly to maintain order, but no one listened.
In frustration, she slammed the service desk, the loud noise instantly silencing the entire hall. "Quiet! Listen up, everyone! Line up in three lines! Anyone who dares to push and shove will not see the masters today!"
"I’m the Deputy Director of the Royal Capital Prosecutor's Office, I want to see Master Li Wenyu!"
Before Lin Xinrou could finish speaking, a middle-aged man in official attire pushed through to the front of the service desk, arrogantly declaring.
Her face darkened, and Lin Xinrou couldn't hold back, shouting, "Get lost!"
"What did you say?" The middle-aged man’s face fell, angered, "I am the Deputy Director of the Prosecutor's Office, how dare you, a mere service staff—"
"Dare my foot! Deputy Director, so what? One more word, and I'll have you thrown out immediately. If you have the guts, go find Master Li Wenyu in your private time. Damn it, don't make me angry or you won’t get a number today."
The Prosecutor's Office Deputy Director, face flushed with anger, seemed ready to argue but ultimately fell silent and slunk back in line.
As Lin Xinrou said, if he truly had the ability, he could arrange a private meeting with the master without lining up here.
Seeing this, the others quieted down and obediently lined up.
Didn't you see that even the Deputy Director got scolded like a dog? If you anger her, you'll be thrown out in no time.
Looking at the furious Lin Xinrou, Qin Chen smiled faintly. Just days ago, this girl was as gentle as a rabbit; half a month has passed and she's become so fierce.
Without lining up, Qin Chen walked straight to the service desk.
"Chen Shao!"
Lin Tian and Zhang Ying were startled. Didn't they see that the Deputy Director just got scolded? If Chen Shao approaches, he might get scolded too, so they hurried to follow.
"These three kids aren't lining up; they're asking for it."
"Hehe, they're going to be in for it."
"Let's see how they get it."
Everyone else watched with schadenfreude.
Sure enough, a service staff saw them ignoring the queue instruction given by their supervisor and frowned, scolding, "Which family do you three belong to? Get to the back and line up!"
"Hehe, we’re not here for the awakening, but—"
Qin Chen was about to explain but was cut off.
"I don’t care if you're here for the awakening or not, get to the back and line up! Really, young people nowadays have no manners. What, not leaving? Want me to kick you out?"
The staff glared, looking ready to eat them alive.
"Chen Shao, we better line up," Lin Tian and Zhang Ying urged, frightened.
Following Chen Shao was enlightening and exciting, but hard on the nerves.
Where is this place? The Bloodline Sanctuary! It's no ordinary place, not even comparable to the Treasure House, where even the mightiest couldn't be too harsh on customers. But the Bloodline Sanctuary is different; once they decide to kick you out, even the Heavenly King can't help you.
After being scolded, Qin Chen, looking helpless, reached into his pocket for a Golden Guest Token when a surprised yet doubtful voice sounded in his ear, "Chen... Chen Shao?"
Turning his head, he saw Lin Xinrou looking at him excitedly.
"It's really you, Chen Shao! What brings you to the Bloodline Sanctuary today?"
Lin Xinrou's body trembled with excitement.
She knew well how she got her current position; it was all because she served this young man last time and unintentionally brought him to the President's exclusive awakening room, which led to today.
That day, when Chen Shao left, the President himself escorted him out of the sanctuary. The steward Liu Tong who offended him was dismissed in no time, and as for herself, after two days of rest at home, she was promoted to the lobby supervisor.
All of this happened just because she served this young man. How could she not be excited?
"Hehe, long time no see," Qin Chen smiled.
