Splitting the Rooms

"Don't mind us too much. We're only here because of the zither competition that'll be held in this city." Elder Xuan said to the guards with a friendly expression.

"Of course. The majority of people coming to the city these past few days are only here for the competition. Are you going to be participating or are you just spectating, Seniors?" The guard then asked.

"My disciples will be participating in the zither competition." Elder Xuan responded.

"I see. Then please accept this. It's a small gift from our city for those that'll be participating in the competition."

The guard suddenly showed them a small golden medallion, and he continued, "If you head to the Royal Blossom Hotel and show them this token, you'll receive rooms to reside until you decide to leave the city— free of charge, of course."

"Oh? That's very generous of this city. I'll be sure to thank the lord of this place when I get the chance," Elder Xuan said with a smile on his face.
