After explaining to the three Yu Sisters that this was the size for Mortal Grade rooms and that the inn did not provide services such as sending dressing tables to one’s doorstep, as well as other common-sense issues, Jiang Beiran finally got the five Sisters settled in their rooms. Although this time around, all five of them were 100 percent reluctant.
“Bang.”
Closing the door of his room, Jiang Beiran felt slightly relieved. These five rich young ladies had even less common sense than he had when he had just crossed over to this world. In their world, inns provided silk quilts, Purple Forest Grass incense, and baths filled with flower petals, as well as other services.
This made Jiang Beiran very curious about what kind of inns they used to stay in because as far as he knew, even the Heaven Grade rooms of some county inns wouldn’t offer these luxuries.
‘Is it indeed true that you can do whatever you want if you have the money?’ he thought to himself.

After resting for a while, Jiang Beiran took off the Suit of Blending In and changed into a set of inconspicuous coarse clothing. He then left the inn. It was rare for him to descend the mountain, so of course he had to go out to trigger a few more options.

“Eh! Master Wu, you’re here. What do you want today?” a voice called.
“Get me two pieces of fatty meat, finely chopped. The finer the better,” someone answered.
“Okay! Just watch.”
Passing by a meat stall, Jiang Beiran, who heard the conversation, watched as the butcher finely chopped two pieces of good foreleg meat. The butcher then carefully pulled out two sheets of bamboo and linen paper and wrapped them up separately, then tied them up with string.
“Master Wu, your meat is ready. It’s 20 pence in total,” the butcher said.
The burly man whom the meat stall owner called Master Wu took the meat and casually said, “As usual, put it down on my account first. At the end of the month, I’ll pay everything together.”
After hearing this, the meat stall owner’s face fell and he said in a nervous, flattering tone, “Master Wu… Since last month, you…”
“Eh!?”
The meat stall boss had only finished half of his sentence when the burly man referred to as Master Wu glared at him fiercely.
“What, you don’t trust me, Wu Kui?” Master Wu asked.
