"What guest of honor? You know Fellow Daoist Lu here pays rent for this place."
Niu Xi hadn't expected things to escalate like this.
Messy as his ways were, his mind was clear: For Lu Chang'sheng to stay in the Zhu Family's residence, he had to have some background. Or maybe he could bring the Zhu Family some benefits.
If not, given the Zhu Family's usual conduct, they would never invite outsiders to live here.
Lu Chang'sheng hadn't told him how much rent he paid, and Niu Xi hadn't tried to ask.
But that didn't stop Niu Xi from guessing.
"Hmph, Fellow Daoist Lu was invited here by the clan. If you really have such a distinguished guest, you could easily spend some Spirit Stones to put them up at a restaurant outside."
Niu Xi knew that anyone who showed up in this place couldn't really claim to be highborn.
However, Zhu Bei gave a faint smile and said, "This has been authorized by Steward Zhu Er."
