Ning Beichen was too lazy to bother with such matters, let alone offer millions to pay off Xi Yi'er's father's debts.
Xi Yi'er wasn't truly his disciple, and Ning Beichen wasn't that benevolent.
However, the matter was quickly resolved. With the Heavenly Master's Mansion involved, although He Qi was arrogant, he knew he was no match for them, like a small grasshopper.
Not only him, but even the He family couldn't contend with the Heavenly Master's Mansion. A single finger from them could crush him, so he naturally dared not cause trouble.
"I apologize, Mr. Ning, Miss Xi Yi'er. I assure you, they will not bother Xi Yi'er's family again."
Hu Tian said to Ning Beichen and Xi Yi'er. The main purpose was to show Ning Beichen their attitude.
"Thank you, but my father still owes them money. We will find a way to repay them."
Xi Yi'er said, still shaken.
"Miss Xi Yi'er, these people are not good. Your father's debt was also manipulated by them behind the scenes. Rest assured, they won't dare to demand money from you again. However, you should still advise your father. After all, nine out of ten gambling games are scams. He shouldn't gamble anymore."
Hu Tian told Xi Yi'er.
"I understand. I will definitely persuade my father. Thank you."
Xi Yi'er bowed respectfully to Hu Tian.
Regardless, they had helped her today, saving her family from ruin. Although Xi Yi'er understood they were trying to appease her because of Mr. Ning, she was still very grateful. But her greatest gratitude was towards Ning Beichen.
If she hadn't happened to film Ning Beichen's leap on Mount Hua that day, and if she hadn't shamelessly insisted on becoming his disciple, her fate today would have been drastically different.
"Mr. Ning, since the matter is resolved, we will take our leave. Old Xu will stay behind to assist Mr. Ning. If you have any needs, just give him instructions."
Hu Tian said respectfully to Ning Beichen, adding an extra sentence at the end, fearing Ning Beichen might refuse.
"I know Mr. Ning doesn't need him, but it's always convenient to have someone for small matters or minor troubles. Don't worry, Mr. Ning, Old Xu won't bother you when you don't give him any instructions."
"Then I'll trouble Old Xu."
Since it was put that way, Ning Beichen didn't feel it appropriate to turn them away.
Besides, having an extra driver wouldn't be an issue for him. If he needed to go to Longhu Mountain for cultivation later, he could have him leave if necessary.
"Old Xu, find me a hotel to stay at."
After Hu Tian and his group left, Ning Beichen said to Old Xu.
"Yes, Mr. Ning."
Old Xu didn't say a word. He opened the car door, invited Ning Beichen in, and then drove to the most luxurious and high-class hotel in the area, stopping at the entrance.
Old Xu jogged out and opened the car door. As soon as Ning Beichen stepped out, he saw a woman in an exquisite qipao, with a first-class figure and demeanor, personally coming out to greet him.
"Welcome, Mr. Ning, to our hotel. This is an infinite honor for us."
The woman bowed to Ning Beichen and then personally took his luggage.
The hotel staff who witnessed this were shocked.
It was the first time they had seen Manager Mei greet a guest so enthusiastically, especially such a young one.
"Could this handsome young man have some deep background?"
Many hotel employees wondered curiously.
However, many people with backgrounds had stayed there before, including officials, celebrities, and wealthy young masters, but they had never seen Manager Mei personally receive them.
"Mr. Ning, please come in. We have reserved the best room for you."
Mei Fang said to Ning Beichen with an obsequious air.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Ning Beichen didn't ask why or refuse. It was clear this was an arrangement by the Heavenly Master's Mansion, a gesture of goodwill towards him.
Since the Heavenly Master's Mansion wanted to foster good relations with him, Ning Beichen saw no need to keep them at arm's length.
Ning Beichen entered the hotel. He didn't even need to register. Mei Fang directly led him to the best presidential suite on the top floor.
"Mr. Ning, here is your room card. If you have any requests, just dial this internal number."
Mei Fang said to Ning Beichen with utmost respect.
"Thank you."
Ning Beichen said to Mei Fang.
"You're welcome, Mr. Ning. It is our honor to serve you. I won't disturb your rest. If you need anything, just call our internal number."
Mei Fang was polite and professional, displaying high cultivation and etiquette. When receiving guests, she made them feel as comfortable as a spring breeze.
Ning Beichen entered the room and found it already set to the perfect temperature. Even the bathtub was filled with water, accompanied by soft music and lighting.
People nowadays were not accustomed to or fond of being surrounded by a large service staff, nor "emperor-level" service with numerous beautiful housekeepers. More emphasis was placed on personal privacy, and many places had switched to AI services.
Any need could be met by simply telling the AI assistant.
Ning Beichen naturally didn't hesitate to take a comfortable bath. He had to admit that this feeling was far more pleasant than roughing it out.
However, humans had many pursuits. Comfort and enjoyment were just one of them. While he could be comfortable and enjoy himself, Ning Beichen didn't want to live a hardship-filled life.
After all, pursuit and enjoyment were not mutually exclusive. It wasn't as if cultivators had to live a tough life.
After his bath, Ning Beichen looked at his watch; it was almost time for dinner. Just as he was about to head down for a meal, the previously mentioned Manager Mei arrived again.
"Mr. Ning, we have prepared dinner for you. Would you like to eat now?"
"That would be fine. I'll trouble you then."
Ning Beichen nodded, appearing perfectly normal, without any signs of excessive flattery.
Mei Fang led him to the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel and arranged the best table, allowing Ning Beichen to fully experience a sense of privilege.
However, Ning Beichen no longer sought such things.
During his years as the King of Darkness, he had experienced every imaginable luxury. Let alone top-floor restaurants, he had even dined on aircraft carriers.
Compared to those royal-level ultimate enjoyments, the current offerings were but a drop in the ocean.
Although Mei Fang didn't show any outward surprise, her position meant she had a keen eye. She could tell at a glance that this young man was someone who had truly seen and experienced the best of everything.
