Practice Remembering You

Chapter 220 Punishment, Go to Qiuling Mountain

Huang Lun couldn't hide his excitement when he thought about going to the place called Qiuling Mountain and Wuzheng Hall as City Lord Zhang Yu mentioned tomorrow to learn the real cultivation techniques.

Although the time was short, only one day, Huang Lun had already understood the basic common sense here thanks to Zhang Yu's explanation.

The top-level combat suit that he brought from the lower world was, here, just the most ordinary clothing in terms of fabric, except that there were many jewels on his clothes, which could be sold for quite a bit of money.

It just so happens that I am in a transitional period now and I only need money recently. Once all this is used up, I estimate that I should be almost done with it.

So I went back to the restaurant and prepared to get the clothes back.

When the shopkeeper saw Huang Lun coming, his face was full of smiles, and his expression was no less flattering than when he was treating Zhang Yu.

Huang Lun didn't care about the changes in those who curry favor with the powerful. This kind of thing was the same everywhere. He had experienced it a lot when he was in the lower world, and now he was immune to it.

Huang Lun said he came to pick up his clothes.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper personally took him to the backyard. However, when they arrived there, they found that the clothes Huang Lun had placed there were gone!

This made Huang Lun's face look bad immediately.

Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper gave an order to gather all the employees who had been in the back of the restaurant, before Huang Lun could say anything.

Then search each room one by one.

After searching everything, Huang Lun's clothes were still not found.

Just when nothing seemed to be going on, the shopkeeper suddenly stepped forward and pulled the two employees out.

The moment the two were caught, their bodies went limp.

After a series of investigations, it was found that the clothes were indeed stolen by these two people and had already been sold.

The shopkeeper wanted to take the two men to redeem the clothes, but Huang Lun stopped him: "I came back to get the clothes. I was going to sell them anyway. Since they have already sold them, just give me the money."

Upon hearing this, the two thought Huang Lun was a very kind person. They thanked him and expressed their willingness to return all the money they earned from the sale to Huang Lun.

The shopkeeper was a little hesitant at this time. Is Huang Lun so easy to talk to?

However, just as he was thinking this, the shopkeeper noticed that the gloomy look on Huang Lun's face had not disappeared, and it was obvious that things were not as simple as they seemed.

"How much did I sell my clothes for?" Huang Lun asked.

"Your clothes are very valuable, with many jewels on them. They cost a total of seventy taels."

"How dare you!" Huang Lun yelled, frightening the two men. "My clothes are only worth 70 taels? Who are you kidding? With so many gems, it must be at least 200 taels!"

"Ah!" The two men who stole the clothes thought they had heard wrongly and waved their hands repeatedly: "It's really not that much, seventy taels is because we sold it at a high price!"

Not to mention these two people, even the shopkeeper found it outrageous when he heard it.

Huang Lun narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I said I could sell it for 200 taels, so I can sell it for 200 taels. I wanted to forgive you out of kindness, but you treated me like this, so I'll report it to the police."

The two felt guilty about what they had done and begged for mercy from Huang Lun. But they could not report to the police. If they were arrested, they would have a criminal record, which would have a great impact on their future.

Huang Lun waved his hand at this time: "It's not proper to cry and whine. Forget it. I'm also in a hurry. I won't talk to you for too long. So, you give me the money, and the rest will be paid by your shopkeeper. For the remaining one hundred and thirty taels, you can pay it back by working for the shopkeeper for free!"

Although this is also very cruel, based on the wages of the two people, it will take at least more than 20 years to pay off the debt.

The two men found that the severity of the two punishments, going to jail and having a criminal record, and working for free for more than 20 years, were almost the same. However, after weighing the pros and cons, they chose to work for free. After all, they had no criminal record, and since they were outside, there might be a chance to pay off their debts early.

There's nothing I can do. This is all my own fault. Who asked them to steal?

After taking the money and making the two men sign a piece of evidence, Huang Lun and the shopkeeper left.

Originally, the shopkeeper wanted to give Huang Lun one hundred and thirty taels of silver, but Huang Lun did not want it. He just wanted to punish the person who stole his things and did not really want the money. Moreover, for him, just a starting amount of money was enough, and there was no point in asking for so much.

When they finally left the restaurant, Huang Lun said to the shopkeeper, "Just punish these two for one year. You don't have to make them work for nothing for twenty years. You can use this to win their hearts and minds."

After that, he left.

The next morning, Zhang Yu sent someone to bring Huang Lun to the City Lord's Mansion.

When Zhang Yu saw Huang Lun coming, he didn't waste too much time and the two of them set off.

He did not bring his wife and daughter with him on this trip.

The daughter had been to that place many times and it was boring, so she stayed in the city. Mo Xue handled government affairs while Zhang Ran played.

Although Huang Lun is now a cultivator, he has no true energy and cannot fly. Therefore, Zhang Yu took him out of the city and to a wide place. He waved his hand and there was a rumbling sound. The earth trembled and the soil and rocks on the ground seemed to come alive and quickly piled up into the sky.

Because they were not in a battle, the elite earth soldiers gathered by Zhang Yu were not even of mixed origin, but the active spells with the least combat effectiveness.

For this reason, the active earth elite soldiers are very tall and majestic, as high as twenty meters, far higher than the height of the city wall.

Soon a huge native was formed, with the pressure of the native's true energy overflowing. As the terrifying power surged out without reservation, Huang Lun's legs became a little weak due to the shock.

I kept thinking, what kind of monster is this? Is this the magic of the city lord? What on earth can defeat such a terrifying thing? What kind of monster would require such magic?

Since Zhang Yu was not bringing his wife and daughter with him, he did not need to pay too much attention to comfort. He did not even prepare a carriage. He simply grabbed Huang Lun and put him on the shoulders of the elite earth soldier.

At this height, Huang Lun looked around and felt as if he was looking at the mountains and rivers. Looking back into the city, he could see densely packed houses. This feeling was quite different from looking from the mountain.

"gone!"

Zhang Yu reminded Huang Lun, and then the elite earth soldiers with active power moved, taking big strides and running wildly.

Every time the huge earth-walking elite soldier takes a step, it can leap out sixty to seventy meters, its speed is terrifying.

The speed was fast, and the wind was also very strong. Huang Lun's hair was about to fly up in the strong wind.

Along the way, Huang Lun held on tightly to the Earthly Elite Soldier's shoulder, creating a protrusion for him to grasp.

Huang Lun was blown into a mess by the wind, but he was extremely happy at the moment.

"The fairyland is so great!" Huang Lun shouted loudly on the Earth Elite Soldier!
