Chapter 1147: Visiting the City Master’s Mansion!
“Damaging thirteen blue bricks, compensate with thirteen one-star Yuan Stones!”
When such a price was mentioned, even Su Yi couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
These two people were really at a great disadvantage now. They had to compensate for a damaged blue brick with a one-star Yuan Stone. There was no reasoning in this matter.
However, this is Sword Star City, the territory of a third-rate power. No one dared to disobey their wishes.
“What are you looking at? The City Master’s Mansion is handling matters, everyone disperse!”
After imposing the fine on the previous group of people, they shouted at the surrounding crowd, with an extremely arrogant attitude.
And no one dared to stay on the street. It would not end well if they crossed paths with the people from the City Master’s Residence.
“You’re neither from Mysterious Sword Gate nor from Liuhe Sect. What is going on?”
Su Yi was suddenly puzzled. He looked at the attire of those young disciples, something he had never seen before.
This made him very curious. Isn’t Mysterious Sword Gate and Liuhe Sect in charge of Sword Star City? Why do the people from the City Master’s Residence have different clothing?
Just as he curiously looked around, the leader of the previous group suddenly turned his head and stared intensely at Su Yi.
“Boy, what are you looking at?”
This leader was a young man around thirty years old, with a face full of fat and glaring eyes.
“Kid, move aside quickly. Don’t block the way for our young master!”
“Step aside now, or we won’t be polite to you!”
Behind the young man, several people spoke loudly and arrogantly.
Upon hearing this, Su Yi immediately furrowed his brow. He was puzzled and surprised by how these people were acting so proudly.
“It’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Let it go.”
Su Yi thought to himself that Sword Star City was now his territory. He didn’t need to argue with these people, especially since this was the rule in the Chaos Realm. He only needed to make a small compromise.
As for his confusion, he knew he would find out everything once he arrived at the City Master’s residence.
With his decision made, Su Yi slightly moved aside, wanting to make way for the road.
Without even activating his energy, he quickly retreated to a distance.
The group of people from the City Master’s residence were all surprised and stunned by this scene.
They had planned to find fault with the young man and make him suffer a little setback, but they didn’t expect him to be so fast. This was definitely an unpleasant surprise.
The young leader saw this and smirked. He suddenly slapped his hand on the ground, causing the green stones to shatter into pieces.
“Kid, you broke these five green stones. Pay five one-star Yuan Stones as compensation!”
After the young man finished his action, he continued to move towards Su Yi and waved his hand in front of him.
“What?”
Su Yi was stunned. Could there be such a thing?
This was no longer just an excuse to rob—it was clearly framing and setting up.
“Are you deaf, kid? You damaged five green stones. Pay the price, which is five one-star Yuan Stones! Give us the Yuan Stones quickly, or else don’t blame us for being rude!”
The people behind the young man quickly surrounded him, while someone in front sneered and shouted.
“Kid, be smart and hand over the Yuan Stones!”
The young man named Wu Tianpeng, with chubby cheeks that trembled, looked at Su Yi and said.
For some reason, he didn’t like this kid.
In the crowded streets, everyone would walk around the procession of the City Master’s mansion.
With just a command from himself, everyone scattered like mice when they saw a cat.
This kid, on the other hand, showed no expression throughout the whole ordeal, which was the main reason why Wu Tianpeng wanted to pick a fight with him.
“Are you from the City Master’s mansion?”
Su Yi’s lips curled up slightly as he calmly said, “So it’s five one-star Yuan Stones, right? Well, I have a two-star Yuan Stone here. You can have it for ninety-five one-star Yuan Stones!”
As he spoke, he took out a two-star Yuan Stone from his space bag and tossed it before offering it to Wu Tianpeng.
As soon as Wu Tianpeng and his companions saw this, their eyes lit up.
They didn’t expect that the boy in front of them actually had a valuable two-star Yuan Stone. This was really surprising!
With an excited heart, Wu Tianpeng reached out his hand.
Just kidding. If this two-star Yuan Stone fell into his own hands, how could he possibly go out and search for ninety-five one-star Yuan Stones again? That would definitely be his own property.
However, as soon as he reached out his palm, he only grabbed air. Su Yi quickly pulled his arm back.
“What are you doing, kid?”
Wu Tianpeng felt a bit angry, as if he was being played with. He became furious.
However, considering the value of the Yuan Stone, he held his anger back and asked aloud.
“Are you guys from the City Master’s Mansion? I have never been there before. If you can take me inside the City Master’s Mansion, not only will I give you this two-star Yuan Stone, but I will also give you ten more!”
Su Yi once again tossed the Yuan Stone in his hand and said.
Indeed, he still didn’t know the exact location of the City Master’s Manor, but it would be easy to find out if he asked around.
However, there happened to be people from the City Master’s Manor right there at that moment. Su Yi thought it would be better to ask them to take him there.
“Ten pieces of two-star Yuan Stone!”
The group from the City Master’s Manor was once again taken aback. They didn’t expect to encounter such a rich person today!
“Young man, you’re being too reckless. Do you think you can just visit the City Master’s Manor whenever you want?”
In front of them, another young man passed by Wu Tianpeng, and after the initial excitement, he immediately calmed down and spoke softly.
If they casually brought someone to visit the City Master’s Manor, it wouldn’t end well for them. They couldn’t easily agree to such a thing.
However, Wu Tianpeng quickly gave him a signal, indicating that the young man shouldn’t say much.
“Young man, are your words to be taken seriously?”
Wu Tianpeng’s chubby face trembled as he asked in a low voice.
“Of course, it’s true!”
Su Yi laughed and took out ten two-star Yuan Stones, shaking them in front of Wu Tianpeng and the others.
In fact, Su Yi had very few two-star Yuan Stones left in his hand—only a few dozen—as the rest were all used up in the previous Dark Sun Realm.
“Good!”
A bright light burst from Wu Tianpeng’s small eyes, and a friendly smile appeared on his face as he said, “Little brother, please, let me take you to visit the City Master’s Mansion!”
“Young Master Wu…”
The young man next to him felt his heart sink when Wu Tianpeng agreed and wanted to stop him, but he shrank his neck under the glare of Wu Tianpeng’s eyes.
Wu Tianpeng turned to the side, allowing Su Yi to walk with him, and then the entire group followed behind them towards the City Master’s Mansion.
“Let’s go!”
Su Yi didn’t even glance at Wu Tianpeng and simply began walking toward the City Master’s residence.
“What a naive kid, daring to head to the City Master’s place with those people!”
In the distance, several bystanders on the street overheard Su Yi’s conversation with Wu Tianpeng and the others and muttered among themselves.
“I have to admit, that kid sure has a lot of Yuan Stones. He just pulled out eleven two-star ones!”
Some people couldn’t help but be astonished at the youth’s wealth.
Eleven two-star Yuan Stones are worth the same as one thousand one hundred one-star Yuan Stones.
For many casual cultivators below the Yuan Spirit Realm, that’s a massive fortune—enough to spark envy in anyone.
“What’s the use of carrying so many Yuan Stones? It’s obvious he doesn’t understand the importance of hiding wealth. He’s just an impulsive fool!”
“Now things have gotten out of hand! Getting taken to the City Master’s residence by those people? He’ll probably lose everything on him!”
“Exactly. It’s not easy to get inside the City Master’s place. Without sufficient strength or background, trying to go there is just reckless!”
From afar, several people observed what had just happened and began talking about it.
These were seasoned wanderers who had spent many years roaming the Chaos Realm and understood how things worked here.
To put it plainly, Sword Star City was controlled by a third-tier power.
Its main role was to gather wealth and provide a trading hub for countless itinerant cultivators.
Usually, the City Master’s residence wouldn’t interfere with anyone unnecessarily.
However, once someone gave them a reason, even those in the Yuan True Realm or Yuan Void Realm had to tread carefully.
No one ever dared to provoke the City Master’s residence—neither back when the Seven Star Sword Sect ruled the city nor now under the Mysterious Sword Gate.
It was clear to everyone that the young man, having displayed his wealth and choosing to go to the City Master’s place himself, was about to be completely cleaned out.
If things turned for the worse, he could even lose his life.
Although such cases were rare, this was still the Chaos Realm, and people on the street didn’t dwell on it for long.
After chatting for a while, they all moved along.
As it turned out, Wu Tianpeng’s thinking aligned perfectly with the onlookers’ assumptions.
The City Master’s mansion wasn’t somewhere one could casually bring strangers.
But once they got there, it’d be easy enough to accuse the kid of something and arrest him.
There was nothing he could do to resist.
“We’re here!”
Sword Star City wasn’t very large, so Su Yi and the others quickly arrived at the City Master’s mansion.
In front of them stood a modestly grand residence, built with blue bricks, red tiles, and a wide, towering gate.
“Little brother, this is the City Master’s mansion. That’ll be eleven Yuan Stones—two-star ones!”
Standing outside the building, Wu Tianpeng grinned as he looked at Su Yi and stretched out a plump hand.
“I said I wanted to go inside for a visit. We haven’t even entered yet.”
Su Yi frowned.
He wasn’t about to hand over eleven two-star Yuan Stones just like that.
He first wanted to see who was in charge before making any decisions.
Besides, even if he handed over the Yuan Stones, this young man probably wouldn’t dare to accept them.
“Kid, don’t try to act smart!”
Wu Tianpeng’s face immediately darkened, and he glared at Su Yi coldly.
He had to obtain those eleven two-star Yuan Stones.
Then he could detain the kid right away and drag him to prison for further interrogation.
