Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was not that Su Yi was putting on airs. It was just that he was not a good person. He would not get involved in such a terrible matter if there were not any benefits.

His behavior was just to test if the other party was truly sincere in asking for his help. If it was just a casual remark without any sincerity, he would just leave immediately.

Although Su Yi did not like to beat around the bush, this did not mean that he would not.

Now that he was putting on such an expression and airs, it all depended on the other party’s performance.

As for Qin Hao, when city lord saw Su Yi’s reaction, his heart was also stirred. He reckoned that this matter would probably go to waste.

If there was no one else to help him, when the news of the incident at Qinwang Ridge spread, Qinyang City would really be in a panic.

In response, he gritted his teeth and made an unexpected move.

He stood up and actually bowed to Su Yi, pleading.

“I hope young friend Su can help!”

This move gave the old dragon carriage driver by the side a fright.

What kind of status did Qin Hao have? As the city lord, he actually bowed to a young lad who had just grown up. This was simply unbecoming.

The old dragon carriage driver was just about to stop Qin Hao when he was immediately stopped by Qin Hao. He raised his hand and spoke in an indifferent manner, “Old Long, you should be clear about what my Qinyang City will become if the matter of Qinwang Ridge is not resolved.”

The old dragon carriage driver was startled when he heard these words. He stopped his actions and appeared to have thought for a moment. After which, he actually bowed and pleaded to Su Yi.

“Little friend Su, I implore you to help me.”

Their words were filled with pleading. Moreover, their actions clearly indicated their determination.

Moreover, from their words, it seemed that they were doing this for the sake of Qinyang City. They were truly good city lords who would serve the people.

Su Yi did not stop them when he saw their sudden actions. However, he did not expect that the other party would actually put his face down to such an extent. He did not hesitate to pay such a great tribute to a person with a little reputation in Central Plains City.

However, since his sincerity was sufficient, what about his benefits? No one was willing to do something for nothing.

His expression returned to normal, and his eyes were filled with admiration. However, he still opened his mouth and spoke indifferently, “the two of you don’t have to be like this. It’s fine if you want me to act, but you will need to pay some compensation. After all, no one would do something without benefits, right?”

Su Yi’s words immediately woke the two of them up. They saw the other party standing up with an excited expression on his face.

“Young friend Su, as long as it’s within the limits of what our city lord’s residence can do, feel free to ask.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yi rolled his eyes at them. What good could a city lord of a small city have? No matter how good it was, how could it be as good as what he had?

Of course, he did not intend to make the other party pay a huge price. After all, this city lord was truly doing this for the people of the city.

He looked at the two of them and spoke indifferently, “it’s not a lot. I only need this amount.”

As he spoke, he stretched out five fingers and continued speaking indifferently.

“One million yuan.”

Hiss!!

The city lord of Qinyang City immediately inhaled. His gaze carried a bitter smile as he looked at Su Yi, feeling troubled.

“Little friend Su, even if we sell the entire city, we won’t be able to get 5,000,000 low-grade spirit stones.”

They looked at each other with helpless expressions at Su Yi’s asking price.

When Su Yi heard this, he knew what the other party had misunderstood. What he wanted was not spirit stones, and spirit stones were not of much use to him at the moment. He only had around 100 spirit stones on him now.

“I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m talking about money. You should be able to afford it, right?”

“One million? Money?”

The city lord of Qinyang City and the old coachman looked at each other with doubt in their eyes.

Why did Su Yi want money? Could it be that he still had something to worry about in the mortal world?

It was no wonder that they thought about it blindly. For a cultivator like Su Yi to have money in the mortal world, they could not think of anything else other than regrets in the mortal world.

Ever since they had arrived at Central Plains, the transaction of money was mostly done with spirit stones. As a result, Su Yi could not get any more money. and recently, he had opened a spiritual field of immortal plants.

The amount of money he needed to spend was greatly increased.

“What? Still no?”

He frowned. If he could not even take out a million, he wondered if these two people were here to make fun of him.

“Sure, of course we can pay it. However, if young friend needs mortal money, we will raise the price to five million. Is that alright?”

Hearing this, Su Yi was stunned. How could he help someone raise the price? However, it did not matter. Since they could afford it, it was fine.

He stood up and said, “as you wish. Also, arrange a place for me. I have just arrived in Qinyang City and have yet to find a place to stay.”

Immediately, the two understood and saw Qin Hao immediately say to Old Long.

“Old Long, quickly, arrange for little friend Su to go to the city lord’s mansion.”

The coachman immediately understood and left as if he was contacting the servants in the city lord’s mansion to arrange a guest room.

After that, Su Yi followed the carriage and the city lord to the city lord’s mansion.

The city lord’s mansion was not very big, but it was well-equipped. There were two late-stage qi condensation guards standing guard at the door.

With a glance, one could see a towering attic. That attic was where the city lord usually worked.

And behind that attic were the other buildings where the city lord and the others lived.

It could be seen that the city lord’s mansion of Qinyang City was very bleak.

Compared to the other cities in the great desolate, Qinyang City was really too weak and bleak. No wonder the city lord was ignored when he sought help.

Weakness was the original sin.

If Qinyang City was the main road to the Central Plains, or if it was not blocked by the Demon Subduing Mountain range, then what would it be? It would not be this bleak.

After arriving at the city lord’s residence, Qin Hao first changed into a more cheerful looking set of clothes. His tendons and muscles were displayed, and he even generously said that he would hold a banquet tonight to invite Su Yi to a gathering. It could be considered as a warm welcome.

However, he was rejected by Su Yi. At that time, he only said one thing. It was only right and proper for him to take money from others and do things for them. There was no need to do hold such a grand celebration.

Regarding this, city lord of Qinyang was also quite helpless. He still wanted to pull in a relationship with him or something, but he had no choice but to comply with his wishes.

At this moment, he was already in a guest room in the city lord’s mansion.

It had to be said that the city lord’s mansion was still the city Lord’s mansion. Even if it was a little down and out, it still had what it should have. In one of the guest rooms, there was a hall, a bedroom, and a cultivation room.

This was almost a standard fitting for a cultivator. Moreover, for a cultivator like Su Yi, it was no longer necessary for him to sleep and rest.

As long as he meditated a little, the true essence in his body would circulate for a day, and the fatigue in his body would dissipate.

At this time, he was sitting cross-legged on the mat in the cultivation room, and he took out the five seeds of the One-colored Green Lotus.
