Chapter 191: 191: Are You Crazy for Money?
“Huh, it’s odd, they’re leaving so quickly over something so small?”
Elder Hu Changleng nodded in agreement: “It must not be a small matter, they probably don’t want to owe us anything. This lad is quite interesting.”
“Should we follow them?”
“Better not, this lad has some genuine traits. If we follow him, it might backfire. We should wait and see, we can step in if any problem arises.”
Inside the lord’s residence in Qiankun City.
Wang Laowu had already informed the city lord Gu Xian of everything. Hearing his words, Gu Xian also furrowed his eyebrows.
“Are you freaking out of your mind for money, daring to go for such a risky plan?”
Gu Xian scoffed, “Now it’s a critical time for me. If even a small mistake occurs because of your stupidity, you’ll get me killed!”
“Lord of the City, that lad seemed to have some power, but he surely doesn’t have the guts to mess with the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, does he?” Wang Laowu asked cautiously.
“Hmph, if they expose this matter, the Dynasty will hold us accountable no matter what. I’ll inevitably be involved, and my plan to join the Dynasty will be ruined!”
Gu Xian roared in anger, stood up directly, “You damned bastard! I have repeatedly told you to tread carefully and now you have brought me such big trouble.”
“This… Who would’ve expected that Hong Shixian could actually win over the Saintess of Purple Garden Mountain, no one knew!” Wang Laowu said, also stressed.
Gu Xian slapped Wang Laowu across the face, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He then proceeded to kick him a few times.
“Bastard, you always cause more trouble than you solve!”
“The only solution now is to deal with those two fools properly. Go and return their principal, and give them the income from this time as well. Make sure they keep their mouths shut!”
Gu Xian snorted coldly, “If they dare to stir up trouble, you should…” As he said this, he made a throating-cutting gesture.
The idea sounded good, Wang Laowu hastily nodded in agreement.
He was just a lackey, with such a matter at hand, he had no ability to handle it himself.
“Yes, My Lord, don’t worry, I will go to them right now!”
“Remember, don’t mess it up, behave and be respectful. We can’t make any trouble during this critical period, understood?” Gu Xian warned once again.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the lord’s residence.
Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan were outside, being stopped by two guards of the lord’s residence.
“Who do you two think you are? The City Lord is of a different stature, do you think you can meet him just ’cause you say so?”
“Get lost right now, or else don’t blame me for being rude!” One of the guards scolded.
Jiang Xiaobai furrowed his eyebrows, he was willing to act now. He was already on the Thousand Yuan Dynasty’s wanted list, and he was not afraid at all.
But this place was not Four Seas City, the scope of Qiankun City was much larger, and there were also many experts in the city.
If he acted recklessly, whether he could make it out was another question.
Left with no option but to suppress his anger, he snorted, “I have important matters to discuss with your lord, just go in and report, he will let us in.”
“The City Lord will meet you? You’re dreaming, are you worthy?”
The guard sneered continually: “There are so many people trying to curry favor with the City Lord every day. Each one of them delivers the same old rhetoric like you, should I let them all in?”
“You guys are so annoying, get out of my way, or else, I’m getting physical.”
“You dare!” AnRan roared, “Your lord’s residence now owes us money, and we have to collect it.”
As soon as these words came out, both guards were stunned, then burst into laughter.
“Hahaha, that’s the best excuse I’ve heard.”
“Indeed, I’ve seen people claiming to be the City Lord’s relatives, disciples, and even his housekeeper, but I’ve never seen anyone dare to claim to be his debtor!”
“You two have got some guts, even daring to say something like that?”
“What kind of a person do you think the City Lord is, would he owe you money?”
“Get lost now!”
The two guards began to push, no longer wanting to see the faces of Jiang
Xiaobai and AnRan.
At this time, Jiang Xiaobai also furrowed his eyebrows.
“Dare to move me again?”
“Haha, you think you’re so tough, I’m a guard of the city lord’s residence, what do you want to do if I push you?” The guard glared, and made another attempt to push Jiang Xiaobai.
But with his foundation-building cultivation, how could he possibly move Jiang Xiaobai?
