Chapter 1252: Chapter 1112: Why Work Hard at Cultivation

As a law enforcement agency, the City Guard often exhibits overstepping behavior. Those enforcing the law know best how to bend the rules.

C-level City Guards certainly know that Patrol Guards and District Guards have different responsibilities.

However, if there are no unexpected matters, a slight overstep by Patrol Guards isn’t a big deal.

The core problem is that the first entity River Technology approached wasn’t them, but the District Guard.

Nevertheless, the District Guard is well aware of how troublesome the innkeepers can be, and River Technology didn’t make any calls from the top down.

Since there was no pressure from higher authorities, the District Guard understandably rejected them—follow the proper procedures.

This request truly isn’t difficult, rather it’s reasonable and aligns with proper procedures.

However, River Technology immediately turned to the Patrol Guards—being from River, help us out.

Patrol Guards also know that innkeepers aren’t easy to deal with, but their alumni stressed that this matter needs quick resolution, as fast as possible.

In society, sometimes people live solely for reputation—they delay a bit, and the alumni lose face.

There is no reasoning for such matters; the Patrol Guards can only grit their teeth and agree.

Deep down, they hope the hostel’s owner won’t be too pedantic and lets the matter slide.

But they truly didn’t expect, River Technology’s people would first offend Xiang Xue.

In anger, Xiang Xue insists on seriousness—if not for the prior confrontation, she might have turned a blind eye.

Moreover, her demand is justified: Without proof or evidence, taking people from my business venue, how can I survive in the future?

But the C-level City Guards are clear that when someone insists on seriousness, they can’t simply fabricate paperwork. They must follow the proper procedures.

Otherwise, if the other party leaks the matter, their jobs would be at risk.

Yet wanting to follow proper procedures is truly not something that can be completed in a short period.

Without mentioning other things, just focusing on River Technology’s accusations of theft—so, what exactly have you lost?

On what basis do you think the other party is suspicious, and what related evidence do you have?

When seriousness isn’t needed, these can all be empty talk, dismissing it gets the matter done.

But seriously following procedures doesn’t just require related evidence but also archiving and filing.

C-level City Guards know this well, and B-level City Guards know this too, but at this moment, there really is no choice.

No matter how much they pretend to be relaxed, they can’t show fear.

Just then, a buzzing noise came from above. Everyone looked up, only to see an aerial vehicle swiftly flying in from afar.

On Imperial Habitable Stars, aviation control is fairly strict.

The more prosperous the star, the stricter—it’s on prosperous stars where there are more aerial vehicles.

Yunwu Mountain, as a famous tourist scenic area, has particularly strict aviation control.

Besides scenic aviation vehicles for sightseeing, foreign civilian aerial vehicles need to undergo strict review to be issued permits.

Even if approved, the flight routes are fixed, not allowing random flying.

Thus, the appearance of this aerial vehicle was a bit sudden.

But upon seeing the large "emergency" symbol on it, everyone understood.

No matter how forbidden the skies are, emergency aerial vehicles can’t be prohibited—these involve life-or-death matters.

Furthermore, patients who can afford aerial emergencies are all wealthy—those lacking funds can request an ambulance.

The emergency aerial vehicle landed in the front yard of the hostel, causing many tourists to wonder: Who has suddenly fallen ill?

A Wood Attribute A-level stepped down from the aerial vehicle, with a somewhat gentle appearance.

The man from Green Water saw him and waved frantically, "Senior Kakas, here... I’m here!"

The tall A-level sneered, "Senior... Is this calling for reinforcements?"

Kakas, upon seeing the man, brightened up, "Junior and classmate, don’t worry, I’m here!"

It seems this man and woman are both graduates of Green Water.

The tall man’s chin slightly raised, "Block him!"

Hearing this, the two A-level individuals next to him rushed forward together.

Yet, as two white lights flashed, two Ice Arrows brushed past them, startling them into halting abruptly.

Only then did Xiang Xue’s voice carry over, "What, not taking my words seriously?"

The female A-level looked at her in astonishment, "You... actually dare to fight us?"

"I even dare to kill," Xiang Xue looked at her indifferently, as if looking at a dead person, "This is my land!"

In order to protect land privatization, the Empire confirmed private territories as sacred and inviolable.

However, there’s some distinction compared to aristocratic fiefs, including land usage.

For example, on Homeland Star, Qu Jianlei and the others also purchased land, but must pay taxes and accept management.

The inn’s land is also bought, but it’s currently converted for commercial use, and the owner can’t do as they please.

For instance, Xiang Xue can’t harm residing guests, or even those who accidentally intrude.

But for those she identifies as deliberately causing trouble—alright, the law isn’t so clearly defined.

The tall A-level chuckled angrily, yet felt helpless, realizing indeed he hadn’t thought it through when issuing orders.

But for River Technology, acting on Paradise Star, do they really need to consider so many things?

On other planets, River Technology might be slightly inferior, but on Paradise, they are much stronger than Ping’an on Purple Pool.

He could only grit his teeth and say, "Fine, you’re good; just wait for the paperwork to arrive."

He had already made up his mind that when the paperwork arrived, he wouldn’t just hold the man and woman responsible.

He would also make this arrogant woman pay, preferably... shut down this guesthouse!

While the conversation was happening in the front yard, Zi Jiu Immortal was startled in the backyard, "Kakas... why is he here?"

Before leaving Qingyuan, she had mentioned that she had a few schoolmates on Paradise Star.

However, after arriving on Paradise, she had Silver Fir inquire and learned that she was still on the Empire’s wanted list.

So she had to abandon the idea of visiting her schoolmates.

And this Kakas, was one of the seniors she had originally planned to visit, she couldn’t help but feel a bit stirred.

Green Water’s schoolmate was being bullied; she couldn’t handle it all, but if it was related to her past acquaintances, she couldn’t sit by.

Silver Fir, seeing her look towards him, was momentarily stunned before asking, "Is this your old friend?"

Zi Jiu Immortal nodded, somewhat embarrassed, "This person... I want to help a bit."

"Then go ahead and help," Silver Fir replied nonchalantly, "We’ve been working hard on our cultivation just to follow our own inclinations."

He then thoughtfully asked, "Do you want me to come along?"

Zi Jiu Immortal nodded; she really had little experience dealing with situations like this.

Fourth Master heard this and proactively stated, "Count us in, too?"

Silver Fir and Zi Jiu Immortal shook their heads together, "No need, the secrets of Homeland need to be protected."

The two rose into the air and descended into the front yard.

At this moment, Kakas was questioning the tall A-level about what his junior had stolen.

Upon hearing this, the tall A-level instead snorted coldly, "What, do you want to be caught too?"

"Catch me? You’re not quite there yet!" Kakas sneered, "At Hesheng Pharmaceutical, try touching me."

Hesheng Pharmaceutical was also one of the top five in the industry, with influence across the Empire.

They weren’t native to Paradise Star, but their influence outside Paradise was quite significant.

Yet, the tall man snorted disdainfully, "Do you think you can represent Hesheng Pharmaceutical just like that?"

In his view, although these super large enterprises didn’t value background much, being from Green Water... that was a bit lacking.

For graduates from non-prestigious higher institutions, there was an undeniable ceiling, and their influence couldn’t be too strong.

At this moment, two shadows descended from the sky, and Xiang Xue greeted them, "What are you both doing out here?"

Zi Jiu Immortal had adjusted her appearance and did not step forward to greet Kakas.

She simply said lightly, "What’s all this chaos? Drive out unrelated people."

"Who are you?" The tall A-level was dissatisfied, even though the two of them could fly, would he be afraid?

Before coming, he had also heard that the background of the guesthouse included a Supreme being.

But who would River Technology, with their academy support, be afraid of?

Zi Jiu Immortal ignored him, and Xiang Xue also paid no heed, just waving her hand.

"Drive everyone out, don’t let my sister see this joke, understood?"

The highest cultivation level among the security was just B-level, but since the boss had spoken, they could only brace themselves to step forward.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we’re just laborers making small money; you all are big figures, please don’t make it hard for us."

The tall man laughed angrily, "Knowing you are small fry, don’t come near; you can’t afford to be involved!"

Silver Fir’s body flashed, appearing in front of the tall man, pushing with his hand.

The tall man only felt a great force surge towards him, involuntarily stepping back a few paces, feeling embarrassed and angry, "You!"

"Let me get involved," Silver Fir looked at him expressionlessly, "Get out!"

"What, are you going to fight?" Another male A-level frowned, preparing to strike,

"Try touching a finger?" Xiang Xue spoke coldly, "Dare to make a move, and I’ll dare to kill, don’t say I didn’t warn you."

This A-level was taken aback again; he had no doubt that this arrogant woman would indeed dare to kill.

Just then, two aircraft flew over from afar, landing in the front yard of the guesthouse.

Both aircraft bore large "Patrol Guard" inscriptions.

In the government ranks, Patrol Guard was half a notch higher than City Guard, and, of course, not subject to aviation restrictions.

As the aircraft landed, two A-levels jumped down, speaking aggressively, "Where are the people?"

Seeing this, Zi Jiu Immortal frowned, "What are you here for; is this a place you can park wherever you like?"

Another A-level responded, "Patrol Guard on a mission can park anywhere."

Zi Jiu Immortal pointed at the first person, "He obviously isn’t!"

The next moment, a pressure descended from the sky, and a voice echoed.

"Heard there’s a Supreme backing here, acting recklessly, is that right?"
