"Cough, cough —"
Sima Xiu Qi coughed twice to remind them that this was a public place.
"Stop fooling around!" Sima Youyue slapped his hand away. "How long will you be gone?"
"I'll go back and take a look at the situation of the Phoenix's Nirvana. Then, I'll send someone to investigate which Hidden Clan has Rising From The Ashes. After that, I'll go back. It shouldn't take long, "Wu Lingyu said.
"What about the demons?"
"There's nothing going on over there for the time being. I don't need to go over." Wu Lingyu said, "Wait for me. I'll be there soon."
"Okay." Sima Youyue nodded.
"Then let's go in." Sima Xiu Qi didn't like Wu Lingyu sticking to his granddaughter, so he reminded her.
Sima Youyue glared at Wu Lingyu. It was his fault for not caring about the occasion.
They came to the city gate and paid the entrance fee. Two high-grade crystals per person, the entrance fee was not low at all.
When Sima Xiu Qi went to pay the entrance fee, Sima Youyue was observing from the side. She saw a sign on the side that said, "Entrance fee: two pieces of top-grade crystal stones per person, or fifty kilograms of tangerine."
"Pfff —"
She laughed out loud, attracting many angry gazes.
"Ahem …" She calmed herself down and said, "You can use oranges to pay for the entrance fee?"
"Of course, it's written clearly on it."
"Fifty kilograms per person?"
"That's right. If it was a top-grade item, the weight could be reduced appropriately. But if it's of a lower grade, it's not allowed. "
"It's really worth it." Sima Youyue said, "Grandpa, let's not use the crystals, let's use the oranges. Fifty kilograms of tangerines can be worth two top-grade crystals. What a bargain! "
"Where do we get oranges?"
Sima Youyue willed and baskets of oranges appeared in front of everyone.
"Take a look, what do you think of this?" She said to the guard who was collecting the entrance fee.
A steward walked over. After following the City Lord for so many years, he had seen a lot of oranges. When the oranges were placed in front of him, he could immediately tell whether they were good or bad.
"Where did these oranges come from?!" He looked at Sima Youyue excitedly.
With such a rich fragrance, such a beautiful color, and such a smooth skin, he could tell at a glance that this was definitely the best of the best!
At least, he had never seen such good oranges before.
"I bought it before. What do you think? Is this enough to cover our entrance fee? "Sima Youyue made up a random excuse.
"Enough! That's enough! "The steward nodded. There were at least a few hundred to a thousand kilograms of high-quality oranges here. With these, would he still be afraid that he wouldn't be able to report to the City Lord this month?
"That's good. Then please give us the pass! "
"Give it to them quickly!" The steward waved his hand at the people who were handling the matter. His eyes were glued to the oranges and did not move away.
The staff at the side gave each of them a pass. Sima Youyue and the rest took the passes and were about to enter the city. Not long after they entered the city, the steward caught up with them again.
"Miss! Miss! "
Sima Youyue stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at him, saying, "Steward, what's the matter?"
The steward cupped his hands at her, saying, "Miss, I wonder if you still have those oranges? The City Lord is willing to pay a high price for them. "
Sima Youyue saw that he was panting and it was obvious that he had chased after them all the way here.
In other people's territory, it was good to form a good relationship with them. Moreover, there were many oranges in the Spirit Pagoda, so it was fine to give some to him.
However, she did not want others to think that she was too attentive and had other thoughts, so she asked, "Actually, we don't lack these things, but since we are in Tangerine City and your City Lord likes oranges so much, then we will give him some face and sell some to you. I wonder what price you are willing to pay? "
"Three pieces of high-quality crystals for a hundred kilograms, how about that?" The steward asked tentatively.
In the past, there were people who had oranges and spirit fruits who raised the price, so he did not offer a high price just to bargain with her.
However, he did not expect Sima Youyue to agree so quickly.
"Alright. How much do you want? "
Her question stunned the steward.
How arrogant was that?!
"A thousand kilograms, I wonder if you have it?" The steward asked tentatively.
Sima Youyue was silent for a moment, thinking that this City Lord was indeed crazy about oranges, casually giving out a few thousand high-quality crystals.
"Yes." Sima Youyue waved her hand, and ten baskets of oranges appeared in front of the steward.
When the steward saw the ten baskets of oranges, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took out three thousand high-quality crystals and gave them to Sima Youyue, then kept the oranges.
He was in a good mood today, and Sima Youyue was even more pleasing to the eye, so he asked, "Why did you come to Tangerine City?"
"Oh, we are here to take a spatial ship." Sima Youyue explained.
"Spatial ship? Which direction are you going? "
"Sixty-fourth state."
"Then there is no spatial ship for you to use today." The steward kindly reminded them.
"Why is that?" Sima Youyue asked.
"There are not enough spatial ships now, so the next spatial ship will only arrive here in two days." The steward said, "If you want to take a spatial ship, you will have to wait for two days."
"Then what about the one going to the thirty-fifth state?"
"That is fast, there is a spatial ship coming today. If you miss today's ship, you will have to wait for half a month. "The steward said.
"Half a month?" Sima Youyue glanced at Wu Lingyu, feeling a little down.
The news from the Sage Pavilion was rather urgent, if they waited for fifteen days, and with the delay on the road, Wu Lingyu would definitely be scolded when he returned to the Sage Pavilion.
"Why don't you go first. We will leave in two days anyway. "Sima Youyue said.
Wu Lingyu thought for a moment, then said, "Then I will go and return early."
"Alright!" Sima Youyue nodded lightly, "Then I will wait for you."
Although she was reluctant, she still hoped that he would go to the Sage Pavilion earlier to find out about the divine medicine, Phoenix Nirvana.
"There is still some distance to the spatial platform here, why don't my people send you there!"
"No need, we have been here before, so we are not unfamiliar with it." Sima Xiu Qi said.
"That's right, steward, you must have other things to do, we will not disturb you." Sima Youyue said politely.
"Alright. Goodbye then! "
The steward had a treasure and wanted to go back to claim credit, so he did not stay any longer and left with the things.
Sima Youyue saw his anxious look and could roughly guess the City Lord's character.
If she guessed correctly, she might be able to see the City Lord one more time before leaving this place.
Behind, Sima Youyue and the rest sent off Wu Lingyu, then found an inn to stay in.
There were still two days left, and they were not willing to wait up there. Just as she thought, before she left, she did see the rumored City Lord – Lang Zhong.
