4364 There’s obviously a big inside story
“There’s such a thing? Why did the city Lord issue such a prohibition?” Ling Chuxi had originally only asked casually, but she had not expected to ask about this past. This made her even more curious.
“How would we, nobodies, know the reason for the city Lord’s decision?” When the shopkeeper said this, he was somewhat helpless and indignant.
Just as Ling Chuxi had guessed, apricot Sun City relied on the mountains to survive and was originally very prosperous. The business of the shopkeeper’s ancestral shop was also quite good. However, ever since the city Lord had issued a ban a hundred years ago, apricot Sun City had become more and more depressed. His family’s business had also declined day by day, so it was natural for him to have some resentment in his heart.
“I can see that the misty cloud Mountain range is rich in spiritual energy, so it can’t be short of producing some high-grade spiritual herbs and natural treasures. The city Lord’s prohibition only has a little restriction on the citizens of apricot Sun City, but it can’t control the cultivators from the outside.” Ling Chuxi said disapprovingly. In such a small city, the city Lord’s strength should not be that strong. How could he possibly restrain the foreign cultivators with just a ban?
“You guys don’t know this. It’s said that the city Lord is the descendant of an ancient sect. There’s also an ancestor in his family who has been in closed-door cultivation for many years. It’s said that even the ancient families don’t dare to underestimate his strength. Previously, there were some disciples of the families who had the same idea as you and wanted to break into the misty cloud mountains. None of them had a good end.” The shopkeeper said carefully.
Actually, he should not have been so talkative, but business was too cold and it was rare for guests to come. He also saw that although Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen were dressed in an extraordinary manner, they were modest and polite when dealing with people. He had a good impression of them, so he said so much.
“An ancient sect residence?” Ling Chuxi was slightly shocked. She knew that there were many powerful cultivators in the heaven domain, but she didn’t expect there to be a descendant of the ancient sect in the city.
Ling Chuxi suddenly thought of something. Could the city Lord’s order have been for the gold spiritual Pearl?
“What I’m saying is just hearsay, just listen to it and don’t spread it. Also, I just heard you say that you’re also out here to gain experience, so don’t try to force your way into the misty cloud mountains like those ignorant young people, or else don’t blame me for not warning you if something happens. ” The shopkeeper realized that he had spoken a little too much and did not say anything more after giving Ling Chuxi a reminder.
As she drank her tea, Ling Chuxi silently thought about her troubles.
If the city Lord of apricot Sun City had really issued that order for the gold spiritual Pearl, should he take it or not? Although the gold spiritual Pearl was of great significance to Ling Chuxi, she had her own principles when it came to doing things. She had always disdained to snatch the natural treasures that others had taken a fancy to first. Of course, if the other party had gone too far, there was no harm in snatching it.
“By the way, shopkeeper, have you heard of Haojia village?” Ling Chuxi pondered for a while. She did not know if the city Lord’s prohibition order was really related to the gold spiritual Pearl. Thinking about it any further would be a waste of her brain. So, she was too lazy to think about it and asked about the Hao Family Village.
“You … How do you know about Haojia village?” The manager’s expression changed.
“One of my friend’s ancestors was originally from Haojia village, but he had left his home a long time ago. He asked me to help him ask.” Ling Chuxi did not expect the shopkeeper’s reaction to be so big, so she made up an excuse.
“Oh, oh. I don’t know anything. Don’t ask me.” The shopkeeper also realized that his reaction was a little too big. He carefully looked outside the door. His face was pale as he waved his hand and said. However, his words did not make sense. Even a deaf person could hear that he was deliberately avoiding it. There was obviously a big inside story.
