"Excuse me, Little Immortal Master, I...we know we were wrong!"
Being caught on the spot, these common people couldn't help laughing. They immediately knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Now, they were really scared.
"Forget it, let's all get up." Fang Xiangyue was not only not angry, but also wanted to laugh in his heart. These people worked hard enough to escape rent.
But he still tried his best to keep a straight face and pretend to be serious, "I have paid all the rent that should be paid to me. If anyone dares to pay less, you know the consequences."
"Yes." After this incident, the people didn't even dare to bargain for mercy, and they all ran home to get the money.
After paying the money, Fang Xiangyue seemed to be easy to talk to. One of the people couldn't help but said, "Xiao Xianshi, our performance should be pretty good. I wonder where you found something wrong?"
"Details." Fang Xiangyue pointed to the hands of the street vendor whose daughter was seriously ill. "I can't even open the pot at home, but my hands that do rough work are still so white and tender. Who are you kidding?"
After saying that, he looked at the person who came to inform, "And you, although you seem to be running very fast, your hair is not messy at all, your breathing is steady, and you don't look like you have exercised strenuously.
"
In fact, she was really deceived at first, but when she thought about it later, she realized something was wrong.
Of course, all this is due to her ability to remember things.
"So that's it!" After hearing this, all the people nodded in unison and were convinced.
However, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. They had received news earlier that the new disciple was young, and they thought they were being fooled.
Now it seems that this little girl is much smarter than that old pickle.
From now on, don’t even think about evading rent anymore.
"Okay, you can continue doing business." After taking the money, Fang Xiangyue waved his hand and said, "Be a good person from now on and stop pretending to be poor."
"Little Fairy Master, you don't know that we are not pretending, we are really poor!"
Hearing this, the people were aggrieved, "Old Immortal Master has been neglecting him all year round. Our town under Xianhe Peak lacks management. It is really the poorest among all the peaks. If it weren't for the small rent collected by Old Immortal Master, I'm afraid there would be many
People will run to other peaks."
"That's right, you should at least persuade the old immortal master to let her take care of some things." When the other people heard this, they immediately complained.
Fang Xiangyue believed this.
After all, Xianhe Peak is a flat peak. I heard that it is at the bottom in every aspect, so the towns under its jurisdiction must also be the worst.
However, not to mention that she is lazy herself, as for the elusive Peak Master, she has only seen him once in so long since she has been in the sect, so she is really helpless!
However, looking at the earnest eyes of the people, she could only say as conservatively as possible, "If I can see the peak master, I will try my best to help you and persuade you."
The premise is that she can see someone before talking about it.
After chatting with the people for a while, Fang Xiangyue decided to go next door to see how big the gap was.
Although this is the junction of the towns of the two peaks, they all belong to the same sect after all. It is not directly separated like the border between the two countries. Except for the different ownerships in terms of rent collection, the common people can come and go at will.
Next door to Xianhe Peak is Bishui Peak, ranked sixth.
When we got there, we really had a completely new look.
Whether it is the number and size of shops, or the prosperity of houses and streets, they are just separated by a border, but there is a huge difference.
Moreover, this is the sixth highest mountain.
It is conceivable that other peaks will definitely be better. In comparison, the town at Xianhe Peak is really shabby.
Although the people at the junction were deliberately pretending to be poor, she had also traveled to other places, and the overall situation was indeed not as good as others.
but…
That old pickle knew that he was not doing his job properly and was sorry to the people in the town, so he charged less rent, which was quite conscientious.
"This is naked blackmail. I just took a look at your pot. How could it go bad?"
While walking, Fang Xiangyue suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Looking up, it turned out that it was Sima Xiangxue who was being pulled by the sleeves of a pot shop owner to prevent him from leaving.
"Everyone, come and take a look at Ping Pingli. My pot was originally fine, but she dented it as soon as she came here. Now she doesn't admit it. Is there any justice here?"
What the boss said was reasonable and he even put the pot out for everyone to see.
Sure enough, there were two obvious internal depressions on both sides of the bottom of the pot.
However, the two depressions are quite symmetrical and look like they were originally there.
However, the owner of the hot pot shop insisted that it was Sima Xiangxue who broke it, and the people nearby also believed the boss's words and pointed at her.
Sima Xiangxue had just arrived, and the senior sister who accompanied her didn't know where she was at this time. She was helpless for a while, unable to argue, and was very angry.
She felt very regretful in her heart. She shouldn't have agreed to go so far away to buy spiritual plants just for a few spiritual stones. Otherwise, how could she have encountered such a thing?
But now the task was important and she had no choice but to spend money to eliminate the disaster. So, she took a deep breath and said, "How much does this pot cost?"
Hearing this, the boss knew that the person had grasped it, and immediately spread his fingers and turned over it, "No more, no more, just ten low-grade spiritual stones."
"What, why don't you go and grab it!" Hearing this, Sima Xiangxue was so angry that she wanted to curse.
Ten low-grade spiritual stones are equivalent to two hundred thousand taels of silver, which is indeed not much for a young master of her big family.
However, just because she can afford it doesn’t mean she is willing to be taken advantage of!
"This fellow Taoist is wrong. The materials I use for this pot are the best. Ten spiritual stones are absolutely indestructible!" the boss said with sincerity.
But I was secretly happy. In fact, the value of this pot was only a few dozen taels.
But it’s rare to meet a rich man. If you don’t make a good fortune, you’ll be sorry for yourself!
Seeing this scene from a distance, Fang Xiangyue couldn't help but think of something he saw in his dream.
In the dream, the person chosen by Xingyu Palace was Sima Shuyin.
After she became famous, she had a great black pot in her hand. The specific function is unclear, but I heard that it is an upgradeable artifact.
According to Sima Shuyin herself, she didn't originally want the pot, but the shop owner forced it to her in order to extort money.
Because of this incident, she was proud of it for a long time. She told everyone she met and even deliberately went to the store owner to make her angry.
Therefore, almost everyone in the dream world knows about this.
So…
Fang Xiangyue couldn't help but think that although the person being blackmailed was now Sima Xiangxue, he was still from the Sima family. Could this pot... be the pot in the dream?
So, she was silent for a moment, then hugged Honey and whispered a few words.
"Meow~" Honey nodded obediently towards her.
“Awesome!”
Fang Xiangyue touched Ha Ni's head fondly, put it on her shoulders, and walked towards Sima Xiangxue.
