"Sir, may I ask if you need a guide?" As soon as Xiao Fan entered the city, a group of Nirvana Realm cultivators with extremely astute eyes rushed over and surrounded Xiao Fan as they spoke enthusiastically.
Sun Moon City was extremely prosperous, and 'gold' was everywhere. It was filled with countless possibilities. However, if one wanted to live in Sun Moon City, the entrance fee of 100 Scarlet Cloud coins was only the most basic cost. The real cost was the daily food, drinks, and lodging. No matter how frugal one was, they would still have to spend hundreds of Scarlet Cloud coins a day!
In order to make a living, some cultivators who were short on cash decided to take up the job of a guide, which had almost no cost to invest.
Of course, a guide only needed to be familiar with the entire Sun Moon City and didn't need any other professional abilities. However, being a guide wasn't easy. Being familiar with Sun Moon City wasn't the most important thing. More importantly, one had to be observant!
Which people needed a guide? Which people didn't? Which people were obviously generous? Which people were obviously stingy? Which people would stay in Sun Moon City for a period of time? Which people were only planning to stay for ten days? So on and so forth. One had to be able to distinguish all of these clearly. After that, one would be able to accurately find their target customers and earn enough Scarlet Cloud coins to sustain one's livelihood!
Otherwise, one might not even get a single customer after waiting for an entire day. In the end, one would only waste time and increase one's pressure and frustration.
Therefore, when Xiao Fan rode the white jade tiger into the city and stood in place to survey his surroundings, many sharp-eyed cultivators immediately swarmed over like bees that had smelled nectar. They all volunteered to be Xiao Fan's guides.
"Sir, I am extremely familiar with every inch of Sun Moon City. No matter where you want to go or what you need, I guarantee that I will be able to satisfy you!"
"Sir, let me be your guide. I have been in Sun Moon City for almost eight years. In terms of familiarity, if I dare to say that I am second, no one would dare to say that they are first!"
"Sir, don't use them because they are all taking rebates. I only charge a one-time fee. Furthermore, no matter what you need during these ten days, I guarantee that I will be at your beck and call!"
The group of cultivators shouted loudly. They all looked at Xiao Fan expectantly, hoping that Xiao Fan would hire them.
Xiao Fan didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked around at everyone. In the end, his gaze landed on a dark-skinned, skinny, and timid young man.
"It's you!" Xiao Fan smiled at the skinny, dark-skinned, and timid young man.
"Thank you, my lord!" This dark-skinned, skinny, and timid young man immediately cheered up and bowed to Xiao Fan.
"Sigh!" When the other guides saw this, they shook their heads helplessly and left one after another.
However, there were still a few guiding cultivators who were clearly unconvinced. They didn't leave like the other guiding cultivators. Instead, their expressions turned cold as they looked at Xiao Fan and let out a heavy snort from their noses.
"Lin Shan, congratulations! You've finally opened for business today!" One of the skinny guiding cultivators said sinisterly to this dark-skinned, skinny, and timid young man.
"Big, Big Brother Wang, I, I …!" Lin Shan stammered helplessly.
"Don't try to get close to me. I'm not your big brother!" The skinny guiding cultivator laughed coldly and said, "Cut the crap. According to the rules, today is your first job as a guide. All of the profits will belong to us. In the future, half of every job you do will be handed over to us. Do you understand?"
"Big Brother Wang, I, I really need this money. Can you, can you …?" Lin Shan's face was filled with deep bitterness as he stuttered his words.
"These are the rules. If you're willing to follow them, then it's naturally best. If you're not willing to follow them, then I'm sorry, but I have a hundred ways to make you scram out of Sun Moon City right now!" The skinny guiding cultivator crossed his arms and laughed coldly. "So Lin Shan, you better think carefully before you make a decision!"
"Lin Shan, I think you don't want to stay in Sun Moon City anymore!"
"You little brat, you're refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?"
"Heh, if you ask me, we should just chase this little brat out of Sun Moon City. Otherwise, he'll be an eyesore here!"
The other cultivator guides also opened their mouths one after another as they sneered and said.
"Alright, alright!" Faced with the pressure from the skinny guiding cultivator and the others, Lin Shan could only give in helplessly. After that, he bitterly said in a low voice.
"That's more like it!" Seeing that Lin Shan had given in, these guiding cultivators laughed without restraint. After that, the skinny guiding cultivator looked at Lin Shan with satisfaction and nodded with a smile.
Not far away, the other guiding cultivators all shook their heads and sighed when they saw this scene. Their faces were filled with sympathy for Lin Shan and sympathy for the skinny guiding cultivator and the other guiding cultivators. Although the guiding cultivators were incomparably furious, they didn't dare to say anything.
There was a reason why the skinny guiding cultivator and the other guiding cultivators could be so powerful. It was because they were the kind of people who were naturally good at currying favor. Therefore, through their tireless efforts, they had a very good personal relationship with some of the Chief Of The Guard in the patrol army at the gate of Sun Moon City's East Dawn City.
With the help of these patrol army captains, the skinny guiding cultivator and the other guiding cultivators had become the tyrants of all the guiding cultivators at the gate of Sun Moon City's East Dawn City.
All the guiding cultivators had to take out a certain amount of their earnings to these people every day. If you didn't hand it over, then they would cause trouble for you. Then, they would use their connections to get the Chief Of The Guard to find an excuse and use the various prohibitions and rules within Sun Moon City to kick you out justifiably.
As time passed, the fate of the person who 'tested' the law was in front of everyone. Therefore, gradually, no one dared to resist them anymore. Everyone could only swallow their anger and let them wantonly exploit them.
Today's Lin Shan was only one of the countless guiding cultivators that they had exploited over the years. No one cared, and no one would remember.
"Sir, please just give us the money directly so that we don't have to ask Lin Shan for it. For the next few days, Lin Shan will be your guiding cultivator!" At this moment, the skinny guiding cultivator raised his head and looked at Xiao Fan. After that, he raised his hand casually and spoke to Xiao Fan without any trace of politeness.
