However, the other elders were obviously unwilling to part with the money because no one responded to Leng Ruoxue at all!
Two more days passed.
The elders proposed to redeem themselves one after anotherâ¦
In the living room, Old Man Zao was so happy to receive money! His old face was about to bloom with laughter.
âGoodbye! See you again. I hope we will have a chance to cooperate in the future.â Old Man Zao had the same excuse for every elder who used the money to redeem themselves. The eldersâ reactions were the same. They disappeared without a trace before Old Man Zao could finish speakingâ¦
âTch, youâre too rude. Iâm not a tiger. Why are you running so quickly!â Old Man Zao complained unhappily.
âHaha! They donât dare to have a chance to cooperate with you,â Leng Ruoxue teased happily. The reactions of these elders were really too funny. She reckoned that these fellows would have to take a detour if they saw them in the future!
âThose are just pleasantries. I donât want to cooperate with them either! Theyâre really useless.â Old Man Zao despised the elders.
âYes, how many are left?â Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
âThere are seven more holding on. More than half of them paid and left,â Old Man Zao said.
âOh, looks like the work arranged for them is still too light. Give the jobs that the elders left to these seven people!â Leng Ruoxue said after some thought.
âOkay!â Old Man Zao answered happily. Hehe, he didnât have to do these jobs anyway. However, this girl was a little too ruthless! Those people would vomit blood from anger!
As Old Man Zao expected, three elders immediately fainted from the blow after he announced the new jobs for the seven elders. However, they consciously paid the money and left impatiently after waking upâ¦
The other four elders finally gave in after another day. They paid money to redeem themselves and immediately disappearedâ¦
In the living room.
âHaha, lass, weâve really had a great harvest! Iâm so happy.â Old Man Zao looked at the anonymous silver cards in his hand and couldnât stop smiling!
âOkay, letâs leave too!â Leng Ruoxue said to everyone.
Everyone nodded and left behind a letter. They left without saying goodbye again under the cover of the nightâ¦
âLass! Why did we leave secretly?â Old Man Zao asked in puzzlement after exiting Blue Cloud City. They actually left the city in invisibility and even left Lan Ming alone in the inn without greeting him. Alas! Little Lan Lan would cry when he woke up the next morning!
âIâm afraid the patriarch of the Lan family will be coming tomorrow morning,â Leng Ruoxue said understandingly. With her understanding of Lan Tao these few days, she knew very well that Lan Tao would not just watch her earn so much money from the Lan family. He might even want a share of the loot. They had agreed back then that the money the Lan family owed her would be squeezed out from those elders, but Lan Tao would never expect her to squeeze so much. Hehe, there was no better time to leave!
âUh! Lan Ningâer is still in the guest room! He should be coming to collect her tomorrow,â Old Man Zao said foolishly.
âHe wonât come for Lan Ningâer,â Leng Ruoxue said.
âUh! Then why?â Old Man Zao didnât understand.
âOf course itâs for money, you idiot!â the old man couldnât help but roar. It was okay to let this old man do something, but this kind of thing that required thinking was not within his scope of understanding!
âAh! Then letâs leave quickly!â Old Man Zao said hurriedly when he heard that it was for money.
âDonât worry. Weâre already very far from Blue Cloud City. They wonât be able to catch up,â the little old man comforted helplessly. Alas! These people were really too interesting!
âLass! What are your next plans?â The little old man turned his head and asked Leng Ruoxue.
âWe want to find a place to settle down for the time being and focus on improving our strength first,â Leng Ruoxue said after some thought.
âHaha, lass, I can recommend a place for you. Itâs not bad,â the little old man said mysteriously.
âWhere?â Leng Ruoxueâs curiosity was piqued, and she couldnât help asking.
âMyriad Mountain City!â the little old man said with a smile.
âHaha, girl, Myriad Mountain City might be called a city, but itâs not just a city! Itâs composed of more than ten thousand tall mountains. Almost every mountain has a power or a powerhouse staying there. That place belongs to the three ungoverned areas. Whoever has the greatest power has the greatest say. Whoever has the strongest power will occupy the larger territory. Moreover, there will be battles every day and there will be many people coming to challenge. According to the rules of Ten Thousand Mountain City, the losing side has to give up their territory, so there are no weaklings there.â
âIt can be said to be very easy or very difficult to establish yourself in Myriad Mountain City because there are people coming to challenge us almost every day. You can forget about peace unless you are very strong!â
âLass, I have a residence in Myriad Mountain City. You can stay there. Of course, you can also find a place yourself. Haha, itâs up to you. However, with your current strength, occupying a mountain isnât a problem,â the little old man explained.
âThereâs actually such a place? Then letâs go to Myriad Mountain City!â Leng Ruoxue was a little surprised as she looked at everyone.
âYes, letâs go to the Myriad Mountain City. Weâll occupy the mountain as the king too, hehe!â Old Man Zao was so excited! He didnât expect that there was actually such a place in the Boundless Heaven Continent. Wasnât this a legitimate banditâs lair!
âDonât get excited too early. That place is very dangerous and chaotic. People die every day. Moreover, everyone who can settle down in Myriad Mountain City is a powerhouse, so donât be too careless!â the little old man couldnât help reminding.
âYes, we will be careful,â Leng Ruoxue said. To be honest, she was not afraid of chaos and danger. What she wanted to do the most now was to improve her strength. Myriad Mountain City might really be a good place after listening to the little old manâs introduction.
âAre there any major guilds in Myriad Mountain City?â Leng Qingtian asked.
