"Oh, it's that Su Town. I thought it was some big Su Family. Can you afford it?"
The guard shook his head and looked at Su Susu and Du Feng from head to toe. They were leading a skinny camel. The woman was wearing decent clothes, while the man was wearing coarse clothes. Cultivation at Level One of the Sky Realm was normal for him to live in the refugee area. However, judging from the status of the two, the man did not seem to be doing well.
"Tell me, what do you do for a living?"
The guard didn't like Du Feng, so he began to ask about his identity. Du Feng had already given the number of the story and described it vividly. As he was speaking, Su Susu was still holding his hand. It was obvious that they were a young couple who had eloped.
"Not bad, kid. You're a coachman, and you've got a pretty good girl."
After hearing this, the city guard smiled and used his Divine Sense to check Du Feng's body. Indeed, Du Feng had been seriously injured before, and he had not fully recovered. Looking at Su Susu's infatuated look at Du Feng, he believed their story.
"Do you two have money? There was a man from your Su Town who wanted to go in without money. I killed him myself."
Su Susu's family was not the only one in the Su Town, so it was not a big deal. Besides, Du Feng was not short of money. However, Su Susu suddenly became nervous.
"What does that person look like? How old is he? When did he come?"
She suddenly remembered Old Zhong. The two had agreed to meet at the gate of Season City. Could it be that Old Zhong was in a hurry to go in and did not bring enough money with him, so he had a conflict with the guard? That shouldn't be the case. Although Old Zhong was poor, he could still afford the toll. After all, the Su Family was a businessman, and Old Zhong had some money with him.
"Why, do you know him?"
The guard was just casually mentioning it, but seeing Su Susu's nervous look, he suddenly changed his expression. If it was someone else who killed him, it would be fine, but he happened to be the one who killed him. If Du Feng and Su Susu were acquainted with that person, they would be here to seek revenge.
"I'm just asking. We don't know anyone here."
Du Feng tugged at Su Susu's hand to calm her down. If Old Zhong had really arrived at Season City, he would definitely have sent her a message when he was at the city gates.
"Hmm, at least you're sensible. That person came last month. I can't remember the exact date. "
Hearing this, Su Susu finally relaxed. Last month, she and Mr. Zhong were out shopping, but they didn't meet the injured Du Feng. Therefore, the person who was killed couldn't be Mr. Zhong.
"This big brother, are you thinking of settling down in Seasons City?"
Just as Du Feng was chatting with the city guards, a filthy child suddenly came over. Despite his young age, he could tell that Du Feng did not bring Su Susu here for shopping or sightseeing. Since they had eloped, they probably wanted to settle down here.
"Shoo, shoo, shoo. You're here to steal my business again."
In the end, before Du Feng could reply, the city guards chased the little boy away. There were two types of martial artists who entered Seasons City. The first type was only here to buy some things and leave after seeing the scenery. The second type only needed to apply for a pass. If they had the identity of another immortal city, they didn't even need to apply for a pass.
If they wanted to stay in Seasons City for more than three months, they would need to apply for a temporary identity token. If they were residents of other immortal cities, they would only need to pay half the fee if they moved to Seasons City. However, it was very expensive for refugees from outside to move in. The fees for such a business were high, and the commission was high. The city guards naturally didn't want to give the opportunity to others.
"We're just here to take a look. We just need to apply for a pass first."
Du Feng could already tell that applying for an identity token through the little boy would definitely be cheaper than applying from the city guards. Hence, he decided not to apply for one first. It wouldn't be too late to apply for one after entering the city to investigate and figure out what was going on.
"Are you really not going to apply for one? Don't miss the opportunity. If you have the money, hurry up and apply for one. It's very dangerous to bring a girl around."
The city guards had seen many situations like Du Feng's. After breaking through to the Celestial Realm, if one couldn't quickly establish a foothold in the immortal city, they would wander outside for a long time. Those martial artists who wandered around the refugee area felt that they were quite powerful, but in fact, it was very difficult not to enter.
There were immortal veins underground in the immortal city, and the elemental energy was much more abundant than outside. If one was smart enough, they could earn money in the immortal city and progress in Cultivation would be much faster than outside.
"Not for now. We'll look for you when we've decided."
Du Feng pulled Su Susu's hand as if he was discussing with her. Su Susu was also very cooperative. She expressed that she wanted to go in and see the situation first before deciding whether to settle down in Seasons City.
"Alright, then the two of you pay 15 immortal stones first."
Seeing that there were no benefits to be earned, the city guard was less enthusiastic. Under normal circumstances, the toll was five immortal stones per person. However, because Su Susu's Cultivation had not reached the Celestial Realm, she had to pay 10 immortal stones. This was nothing to Du Feng, but for many poor refugees, it was a huge sum of money.
This time, Du Feng didn't give any money to the city guard, nor did he plan to make friends with him. Because he could see that the city guard was the kind of person who would eat people up without spitting out the bones. Even if he took the money, he might not do the job properly, and there was a possibility that he would be blamed for it.
"Pfft, eloping when you have no money."
Not long after Du Feng and Su Susu had left, the city guard spat on the two of them, looking at them with disdain.
"That can't be right, Brother Xue. That girl looks like she has some money."
The other city guard looked at Su Susu's graceful figure and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. These two refugees from the outside did not have any backing. If he had a sum of money on him, he could consider taking the two of them …
"Hehe, you're really thoughtful."
Xue Dingzhen grinned. He was already thinking about how to make Du Feng and Su Susu hand over the money.
The rules of the Heavenly Realm were very powerful. Under normal circumstances, a Level One Celestial Realm martial artist would not be able to hear the city guard's conversation when he was far away. But Du Feng was different. He had fallen from the mid-stage of Level Five Celestial Realm, and his strength was far beyond his peers. The contents of the conversation between the two guards were clearly heard by him.
