Chapter 671: Chapter 0671 Encounter Blockage

"Fine, you wait here for us. I can handle ordinary problems myself."

Tang Ming nodded. He was strong himself and could completely cope with any danger, forcing Xin Badao, a Poison Sect Master, to play such a child’s game. It was indeed asking too much of him.

After buying the tickets, Liu Mengting and the two other women marched into the castle with high spirits, while Tang Ming, hands in his pockets, followed leisurely behind them.

Once inside the castle, none of the three women had any interest in seeking the treasure on their own; all their fiery gazes were fixed on the little white pet in Li Xiaoli’s arms, as their main purpose for coming was to have the little white one lead them to the treasure.

"Excuse me, guests, one moment."

Just at that time, a uniformed staff member with a mustache approached them.

"What’s the matter, huh?" Li Xiaoli looked at the man with confusion.

"Sorry, our company policy does not allow pets inside the castle."

The staff member, looking at the little white pet, politely reminded, "Our company has a special facility for managing pets. Please hand over your pet to me for safekeeping, and after you come out of the castle, I will return it to you."

"So, it turns out pets aren’t allowed."

Liu Mengting frowned slightly, her face falling. Without the little white pet to lead the way, it would be very difficult for them to find the treasure.

"Why can’t we bring pets, huh?"

Li Xiaoli, not one to be taken lightly, glared at the staffer angrily. "We have checked the game rules outside, and there’s no such rule against bringing pets. Besides, if it were actually forbidden, why didn’t your people stop us when we entered? Now that we are inside, you come to take our pet away—this is inconsistent and utterly discreditable. Is this how you do business?"

"While it’s not explicitly stated, pets are indeed not allowed here. In a treasure hunt game, if guests brought sniffer dogs, wouldn’t we be at a huge loss?"

The staff member looked at Li Xiaoli with difficulty.

"I don’t care about that. Anyway, we’re already inside. If you want to confiscate my pet, I’ll file a complaint against you."

Li Xiaoli looked around and shouted loudly and unreasonably, "Everyone, come and judge this situation. They let us in, and now they say we can’t bring pets, this is clearly bullying. I am very dissatisfied with their credibility here; I seriously doubt whether there are any real prizes at all."

Since this was the entrance of the castle, many people who had just entered had not yet left. Upon hearing Li Xiaoli’s shouts, many gathered around, murmuring and pointing.

"Miss, you can’t just say whatever you want, our establishment is honest to all, the real prizes are all inside." Seeing so many people drawn in, the staff member became flustered.

"In that case, just stick to your company’s regulations. If there’s no rule outside about not bringing pets, you have no right to take ours."

Xia Wei’er carefully read over the disclaimer on the back of the ticket and then looked at the staff member as she coolly spoke.

"Exactly, do you know how much our pet is worth? What if it gets harmed in your care—who will be responsible?"

Li Xiaoli snorted coldly, still looking furious at the other person.

Liu Mengting and Xia Wei’er were also unyielding, staring down the staff member. Little white was now their precious darling, and Tang Ming had warned them that it was a valuable pet that should never be casually handed over to strangers.

"What’s all the fuss about?"

Seeing that the situation was escalating, Tang Ming walked up beside the staff member. "We haven’t violated any rules here, and you’re causing trouble for no reason. Do you want me to call the manager over to teach you how to treat customers?"

"No need, no need. Since that’s the case, just do as you please." The staff member quickly shook his head, bowing and backing away.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

Just as a staff member was passing by Tang Ming, he swayed, nearly stumbling, and unintentionally stepped on the back of the staff member’s foot.

"Hiss, hiss, rip."

The sudden step from Tang Ming caused the staff member to wince in pain and inhale sharply.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose, I hope I didn’t hurt you?"

Tang Ming quickly moved his foot away, looking apologetically at the staff member.

"No, no problem."

The staff member, with head lowered, endured the pain and hurriedly left the scene.

"Huh? That guy’s silhouette looks kind of familiar, don’t you think?"

Li Xiaoli, holding the restless Xiaobai, looked curiously at the staff member’s retreating figure.

"That person is an employee here, and we don’t know him, how could he look familiar?"

Liu Mengting glanced briefly and urged, "Let’s focus on the game instead!"

"Right, right, right, let’s finish early so we can go home and study for the test."

Xia Wei’er also started to get anxious, they had been out all day, and there was a test tomorrow.

"Heh."

Tang Ming scoffed with contempt. That guy hadn’t left, surely aiming to take the opportunity to get Xue Ling back, but... once something reached his hands, there was no chance of it being taken back.

Subsequently, Tang Ming and others officially entered the castle for the treasure hunt, while in a hidden corner, the staff member who had asked Li Xiaoli and the others for their pet was sitting on the ground. Grimacing in pain, he rubbed his foot, "It’s killing me, that damned bastard, he didn’t step on me on purpose, did he? He almost broke my foot."

At this moment, the fake beard on the man’s face had fallen off halfway, and his hat lay on the ground; it was Zhen Xiaosa who had sneaked into the castle earlier.

"I knew it wouldn’t be so easy to get the stuff back, it hurts like hell."

After massaging his foot a while, Zhen Xiaosa’s eyes glittered with a fierce light: "Luckily that bodyguard didn’t follow in. Just dealing with these few people who lack combat ability, I’m certain I can find the opportunity to snatch Xue Ling back. I am a martial master, after all, my speed alone is enough to handle this."

Having collected himself, Zhen Xiaosa put his hat back on, reapplied his beard, and quickly got up to follow Tang Ming and the others.

After entering the castle, Tang Ming and his group didn’t study their surroundings while moving, as other visitors did. Instead, they simply let Xiaobai lead the way on the ground, and the four of them followed quickly behind.

"This is so exciting, it looks like Xiaobai really does have the ability to find treasure, we’re going to get rich today!"

Li Xiaoli, walking in front, exclaimed excitedly.

"Don’t get too excited just yet, let’s wait until Xiaobai finds one or two treasures,"

Liu Mengting smiled and admired the Grimm’s fairy tale-themed decor around them, "This Entertainment City is indeed well made. Even if you’re not here for treasure hunting, it satisfies so many children’s fairytale fantasies."

"No wonder the fees are so high, the atmosphere here is indeed very attractive. This area blends the themes of many fairy tales like Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, and more, along with many life-like wax figures of the characters. It’s worth every penny."

Xia Wei’er, too, was full of emotions, although she couldn’t accept the high expense, she had to admit that it really was worth the price.
