The Fourth Financial Crisis

Yunlai City is a city that specializes in providing logistical support for the Wuliang Sword Sect. The city is far smaller than Haiya City.

As the battlefield outside the territory was about to officially begin, the total number of cultivators gathered in Yunlai City at this time was close to 300,000, even overwhelming the local mortal population, making it a city of cultivators in the true sense.

Because there are too many outside cultivators, the airspace within ten miles of Yunlai City has been set as a no-fly zone by the Wuliang Sword Sect. Only monks at the Golden Core stage and above are allowed to fly at will, and other monks, regardless of their status, must You have to queue up to enter the city on foot, and you also need to pay a hefty entrance fee.

As the light continues to land in Yunlai City from all directions, a long payment queue has formed outside the gate of Yunlai City.

If in the past, Miss Li Qingning came to Yunlai City in person, the top leaders of the local cultivation forces would definitely come out to greet her. However, now that President Li Qingyang is leaving, although everyone will still give her face, there will definitely be no chance of anyone missing out. She came to kneel and lick her for no reason, which made Miss Qingning, who was used to others actively providing services, quite at a loss.

After the two landed in a mortal street outside the city, Li Qingning saw everyone queuing up at the city gate, so he took the initiative to hold Yang Lu's hand and walked to where the crowd gathered, preparing to deign to experience the common people. The miserable treatment of cultivators.

"Two immortal masters, wait!"

However, before taking two steps, a male voice suddenly came from the corner of the street, and then a lean man with a beard walked over from a nearby shop and saluted the two of them respectfully. .

His eyes were flashing, and he looked like a very thoughtful person.

But there was no mana fluctuation in this man, and he was clearly a mortal. Judging from his ragged appearance, his financial condition was about the same as that of Murong, who sold newspapers in Haiya City back then, and was even more slovenly.

Yang Lu showed a hint of surprise, then frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter? Do we know you?"

"Haha! You can just call me Awu. This is the first time I see two immortal masters." The lean man said with a smile on his face.

After hearing this, Yang Lu's face darkened, showing a look of displeasure, but before he could say anything, Awu said first: "Is it the first time for both immortal masters to come to Yunlai City? They must be unfamiliar with the roads and conditions. The younger one is a native of Yunlai City and knows the situation in this city very well. If the two immortal masters want to go somewhere or do something, if the younger one can help lead the way, a lot of trouble will definitely be saved. Yes. As long as the immortal master gives the small one-yuan spirit stone coin."

After saying this, Awu looked at Yang Lu expectantly. He has seen that the young man in front of him seems to be the one who calls the shots between the two.

Hearing A Wu say this, Li Qingning's eyes suddenly lit up: "You are a guide, right? If you are satisfied with me, I will give you five spirit stones! But if you are not satisfied, I will give you a dime of spirit stones." I won’t pay!”

A five-yuan spirit stone coin is definitely a huge sum of money for a mortal. It's just that Li Qingning said that she might not pay, which makes it a bit difficult to decide.

The mortal named A Wu had a gloomy face. When he saw Yang Lu looking at him coldly, he secretly gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, just do as the Immortal Master said! I will definitely let you two The Immortal Master is satisfied."

However, before Ah Wu could step forward to lead the way, Yang Lu waved his hand and said: "No, we can just go shopping by ourselves!"

Li Qingning was a little confused and said: "We have never been to Yunlai City, and this person seems to be an experienced guide, why can't we let him lead the way? I read that in the novel written by Governor Lu, the protagonist came to a strange city, Shouldn’t everyone ask some poor local mortal guide for help?”

Mentioning the story novel written by Mr. Lu, Yang Lu couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead and showed a very speechless expression.

Li Qingning's boudoir collection is very rich, including not only various academic books, but also many story-telling novels. The most popular type of story-telling novels today is Shuangwen, which was invented by Mr. Lu back then. This style is very similar to the style of Somewhere on Earth Chinese website. Of course, Yang Lu had read the literary genre in his spare time.

Seeing Li Qingning talking about the plot of Shuangwen, he explained helplessly: "President Lu just wrote this for fun! After all, as the protagonist, if you don't find a particularly hard-working mortal to take you by your side, where will you have the chance to enjoy the pain?" The supporting characters look in awe, where are the supporting characters kneeling and licking you respectfully, where are the opportunities to show some small favors to make the other party grateful, and where are the opportunities to show one's status as a cultivator? This is all to satisfy the readers after being introduced to the protagonist. , it’s just the pitiful vanity generated..."

Li Qingning, a veteran Shuangwen reader, was speechless and choked after hearing Yang Lu's crude deconstruction of Shuangwen.

Awu, who was originally full of flattery, saw Yang Lu's rude remarks and knew that this pie-in-the-sky business was completely ruined, and his face instantly fell.

It was just because he saw Li Qingning's cute look on her face that he came over to kill her like a fat sheep. He never imagined that the young man next to her would be so difficult to deal with.

Don't you need to show off your grace in front of beautiful women?

Seeing Yang Lu staring at him indifferently, Ah Wu didn't bother to pretend anymore, cursed and left on his own.

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. A hooligan like Awu who works part-time as a liar tour guide has no worries about angering the cultivators. If you are really awesome, just slap me to death and pull me down. Anyway, I will die. , there is no chance to turn around in this life, it is better to die early and be reborn early, and finally be able to deduct your merits and disgust you.

Seeing A Wu's liar's face, no matter how crazy Li Qingning was, he knew that he had just been treated as a fat sheep and slaughtered.

"I don't have any vanity, it's just..." Li Qingning's cheeks turned slightly red, and she retorted with no confidence in a mosquito-like voice. In the end, she had no choice but to admit that what Yang Lu said made sense, "Okay, even if you You're right, I just have vanity! But we are really not familiar with the place in Yunlai City. If we don't ask this guy named Awu to lead the way, then tell us what we should do. Do we still need to do it myself? Looking for someone to ask for directions?”

Li Qingning was also used to being treated as a wealthy lady, and even felt a little embarrassed to ask for directions in person.

Seeing Li Qingning's coy look, Yang Lu wanted to rub Miss Li's head as hard as he did Murong's head, and tell her that you are no longer the eldest daughter of Lingshi Reserve Bank, and you have to get used to not being a licker. life.

It's a pity that Li Qingning is really tall, almost 1.7 meters tall. Yang Lu made a gesture with his eyes and found that this action was awkward, so he had to give up in frustration.

He nodded his chin towards Yunlaicheng in the distance and said: "Miss, have you forgotten whose territory Yunlaicheng belongs to? The talkers here are the new friends we made at the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference! "

"New friends made at the Zhongzhou Sword Competition?"

Li Qingning was confused for a moment, but quickly came to his senses and understood what Yang Lu meant: "Are you talking about Pan's Trading Company?"

Yang Lu smiled slightly and said: "Who else can it be? As long as I'm here, I can't let Miss Li do things like asking for directions in person! I've made an agreement with Pan Yue a long time ago, and they should send someone soon Come meet us.”
