More than ten Magnetic Yang Stones emitted a bright light. After being filtered by the exquisite glass lampshade, the light suddenly became soft and natural.
Under the soft light, the living room was like daytime.
The peony screen at the door was painted gracefully and elegantly, cleverly separating the living room from the inner room inside.
A few pieces of antique porcelain were placed on the shelf against the wall, adding some elegance to the living room.
A whole set of yellow pear wood tables and chairs, celadon fine porcelain tea set, incense three-legged copper stove, each of the furnishings was exquisite.
Under the smooth tiles, a gust of hot air came up. It made the room as warm as spring. One could not feel the coldness of winter at all.
Gao Zhengyang sat on the chair, casually looking at the furnishings in the living room.
He found that the layout here was ingenious, the furnishings were exquisite and restrained, and it seemed to be very rich.
Compared to this place, Jue Mie's cave was too simple. It also lacked the rich and luxurious atmosphere.
"As expected of the Junshan Chamber of Commerce, they are indeed rich …"
Gao Zhengyang sighed to himself. He had seen many luxurious scenes in his previous life, but it was the first time he saw the life of the upper class in this world.
The mayor's mansion was much more luxurious than this place, but time was tight, so Gao Zhengyang did not care about this. Moreover, the mayor's mansion focused more on style and prestige, which was completely different from the style of this kind of people.
A rush of footsteps sounded, and Jun Feixue walked out from behind the screen.
Today, she was wearing a purplish-red dress that dragged on the floor. She did not have the heroic spirit of a swordsman, but more of a mature woman.
Seeing Gao Zhengyang sitting there, leisurely drinking tea, Jun Feixue had a complicated look in her eyes.
If she guessed correctly, it was this young man who killed Jun Mingye. Or rather, it was this man.
Gao Zhengyang had a handsome figure and an imposing appearance. Sitting there, there was a kind of calmness like a mountain, and a kind of nature like flowing water. There was a kind of strength that was condensed into the bones.
Although the smile on his face was cheerful and very amiable. However, no one dared to treat him as a teenager.
Jun Feixue also knew that she was intimidated by him because of Jun Mingye's death and because she had seen how powerful Gao Zhengyang was.
Gao Zhengyang himself did not deliberately reveal any aura.
Suppressing the distracting thoughts in her mind, Jun Feixue smiled and cupped her hands. "I didn't know Gao was coming, so I didn't welcome you earlier. Please forgive me."
"Sure, sure," Gao Zhengyang replied with a magnanimous look.
The maidservant standing at the back couldn't help but reveal a strange expression. This was the first time she saw Jun Feixue being so polite to others. She didn't expect this guest to be even more impolite. She was a little angry at how arrogant he was.
Jun Feixue glanced at the maid. "You may leave."
The maidservant was startled by Jun Feixue's cold gaze. She quickly bowed and left the living room.
After dismissing the maidservant, Jun Feixue asked worriedly, "Gao, is it about Jun Mingye?"
She knew that Jun Mingye was dead, but she still couldn't believe that it was Gao Zhengyang who killed him. She couldn't help but want to test him.
"I killed Jun Mingye."
Gao Zhengyang admitted it openly, then said with some disappointment, "He's useless and doesn't have much ability."
Jun Feixue's expression changed slightly, and she smiled bitterly. This person was really daring. He killed the Castellan, Jun Mingye, and still dared to come here as a guest.
She advised, "The Castellan's death is a huge matter. North County City will definitely not let it go. Although Gao's martial arts are unparalleled, we still need to prepare early. "
Gao Zhengyang nodded. "Yes, we need to prepare early. That's why I'm here."
When she heard this, Jun Feixue's expression changed. She hesitated for a while before saying, "Forgive me for being slow-witted, I didn't understand what Gao meant."
Gao Zhengyang did not say anything, but he chuckled.
Jun Feixue was scared by Gao Zhengyang's laughter. If she didn't know that she was no match for him, she would have smashed his smiling face.
No matter how displeased she was, Jun Feixue did not dare to show it. She had seen Gao Zhengyang's overbearing and ferocious side.
"Please explain, Gao." Jun Feixue smiled bitterly again.
Gao Zhengyang waved his hand. "We're in the same boat. You don't have to be so polite."
"Uh …" Although Jun Feixue was calm, he couldn't help but be stunned. Gao Zhengyang made it sound easy, but what did he mean by we're in the same boat!
Although Jun Mingye's official position was not high, he was still the governor of a city and was in charge of military and political power. For such a person to be killed in the governor's residence was a provocation to the Mountain Kingdom's imperial court.
The imperial court would not care about Jun Mingye, but they could not afford to lose face. They would definitely send experts to capture the murderer.
Gao Zhengyang was strong, but going against the imperial court was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. He would definitely die.
Although Jun Feixue had high hopes for Gao Zhengyang's future, she did not want to have anything to do with him at this time.
Gao Zhengyang smiled. "It's all thanks to the Junshan Chamber of Commerce that we were able to kill Jun Mingye. We did this together, so of course we're in the same boat. "
Jun Feixue's face turned pale. This was what she was most afraid of.
Gao Zhengyang said it casually, but if these words were to spread, the Junshan Chamber of Commerce would be exterminated.
"Gao, you can't say that."
Although Jun Feixue was afraid of Gao Zhengyang, she could not care less when she thought of the serious consequences. She retorted. "This matter has nothing to do with the Junshan Chamber of Commerce."
Gao Zhengyang took out a sheepskin map and waved it in front of Jun Feixue. "This map was given to me by you."
Jun Feixue's face darkened. When Jun Mochou went to deliver the armor, he also gave a few maps. This included the City Lord Map.
Of course, they did not have good intentions for these maps.
But they did not expect Gao Zhengyang to rush over and kill Jun Mingye. What was even more unexpected was that Gao Zhengyang still wanted to bite the Junshan Chamber of Commerce.
As the saying goes, a thief bites deep into the bone.
Gao Zhengyang could say whatever he wanted, but it would not be easy for the Junshan Chamber of Commerce to clear their name.
"We don't know anything about this map." Jun Feixue denied immediately.
Gao Zhengyang shook his head. "If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless. If the Imperial Court comes looking for me, I will say that you hired me. Otherwise, why would I kill Jun Mingye when I have no grudge against him? "
The Junshan Chamber of Commerce did not say anything, but they expressed their goodwill and gave him the map. It was clear that they wanted to get someone else to do their dirty work.
It would not be easy to get rid of them.
As Gao Zhengyang spoke, he stood up and was about to leave. A figure flashed behind the screen. A middle-aged man walked out and said, "Gao, let's talk this out. Please wait."
The middle-aged man was tall and handsome. He wore a luxurious purple robe with cloud patterns and a jade pendant hanging from his waist.
Standing there, she appeared mature and steady, extremely charming.
"I am Jun Feipeng. Mochou is my daughter." Jun Feipeng smiled and introduced himself.
In fact, even if he did not say it, Gao Zhengyang knew who he was. The only person who could eavesdrop behind the screen was the President of the Junshan Chamber of Commerce, Jun Feipeng.
Gao Zhengyang said with a faint smile, "Oh, President Jun, what do you want to say to me?"
Jun Feipeng said sincerely, "Gao, let's not talk about the past. If you have any requests, just say it. As long as we can do it, the Junshan Chamber of Commerce will not refuse. "
Jun Feipeng was also a smart man. He knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless. A person like Gao Zhengyang was not someone who could be persuaded with words. It was better to let him state his conditions and discuss them.
"President Jun is still straightforward." Gao Zhengyang said sarcastically, "It's very simple. Prepare everything according to the list and send it to the Tielin Sect."
Gao Zhengyang took out a piece of paper from somewhere and stuffed it into Jun Feipeng's hands.
"Fifty pieces of fourth-grade Jade Essence, fifteen kilograms of supreme-grade cinnabar …"
Jun Feipeng glanced at the list. It was densely packed with all kinds of items used by Mages.
Mages were the most expensive profession. The higher the level, the more resources Mages needed.
Yue Qingxue was already fourth-grade, but she could not cast many fourth-grade spells. She just lacked all kinds of materials.
There was also Yiyi, who was also a Mage. She also needed all kinds of materials.
Gao Zhengyang had killed many people and robbed the Golden Wolf people, so he had a lot of things in his hands that could be worth some money. But he had no channels, so he could not turn the things in his hands into money. He could not exchange them for materials.
After killing Jun Mingye, Gao Zhengyang could not let the Junshan Chamber of Commerce take advantage of it.
Jun Feipeng had been doing business for years and was familiar with the prices of these materials. A rough estimate showed that the total value was about fifty thousand taels of gold.
He felt bitter in his mouth. There were thousands of people in the Junshan Chamber of Commerce, and they could not earn that much even if they worked hard for a year.
But he did not dare to refuse. They really could not afford to offend this person. They could still afford the price.
"Okay, no problem." Jun Feipeng made up his mind and agreed happily.
Gao Zhengyang was a little surprised. Businessmen valued profits. For Jun Feipeng to be so straightforward, he was very decisive and magnanimous.
He was not blackmailing Jun Feipeng. He was just teaching them a lesson. Don't think that he was a fool who could be used as a weapon.
When this batch of materials arrived, Gao Zhengyang would naturally evaluate the value and pay them accordingly.
However, Gao Zhengyang would not tell them this in advance. He had to make them feel uncomfortable for a while.
"However, these materials are specially used by mages. There are not many in Jun Mountain City, so it will take some time to gather them."
Jun Feipeng said.
"It's okay. There's no hurry. I'll wait here. "Gao Zhengyang smiled and said quite generously.
Jun Feipeng and Jun Feixue's faces turned ugly. Gao Zhengyang still wanted to stay here!
After hesitating for a moment, Jun Feipeng laughed and said, "I couldn't ask for more if Gao is willing to stay here."
Gao Zhengyang said bluntly, "Then I'll bother you."
Jun Mountain City was thousands of times more prosperous than Tielin Sect. Gao Zhengyang had nothing to do, so he could stay here for a few days to appreciate the local customs and enjoy the life of a nouveau riche.
For the past six months, Gao Zhengyang's nerves had been very tense. It was not until he obtained the dragon ball and obtained Jue Mie's approval that he relaxed.
Taking this opportunity, he also wanted to rest and adjust.
Jun Feipeng personally brought Gao Zhengyang to the best guest room and arranged everything properly before leaving.
When Jun Feipeng returned, Jun Feixue couldn't help but say, "Big Brother, why did you keep him!"
"What should I do?"
Jun Feipeng sighed. He didn't want to keep Gao Zhengyang. Jun Mingye had just died. If outsiders found out that Gao Zhengyang was in his house, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.
Jun Feixue also sighed and thought for a moment, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. No one would have thought that Gao Zhengyang could kill Jun Mingye."
Just based on Jun Mingye's last sword, it already had the power of Heaven Stage.
Other masters would definitely think that the one who killed Jun Mingye was a Heaven Stage powerhouse. It was unlikely that they would suspect Gao Zhengyang.
