C528 Strange Woman
The Power of Divine Consciousness tried its best to release the seal, and only then could they see that the people in line had one common characteristic, and that was that all of them had tokens in their hands, and the tokens looked different.
If anyone wanted to enter the city, they would have to draw the token at the gate and a restriction would be opened at the gate.
After which, they would be able to enter the city, otherwise they wouldn't be able to enter.
Jiang Ting's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the restrictions on the outside of the city carefully. Even Jiang Ting was a little curious, this restriction was really a mysterious restriction!
But, where would he go to find such a token!?
Looking around, there was a town not too far away. Jiang Ting decided to rest for a while in this town, and ask around, and at the same time strike the Tooth Sacrifice, it could be considered as getting a taste of food in his mouth. Who knew how much wind he had brought in these past few days …
After entering the town, Jiang Ting realised that the most eye-catching thing during this period of time was the Wei's Inn, which was also selling masks.
Thinking about how stingy his Wei's Inn was, Jiang Ting did not go in. Instead, he found a restaurant, sat down and ordered some food and drinks, while listening to the discussions around him.
A lot of the discussions were idle talk, Jiang Ting did not waste any energy, but, there were two people who had a conversation that attracted Jiang Ting's interest.
"My wife's stomach is getting bigger and bigger. Tomorrow, I have to go to the Xiao Mansion to be a servant. I don't want to wait until my wife gives birth, then I can't enter the city and get into trouble!" A slightly plump man wearing a square handkerchief said.
"Big brother, this is serious business. I can take care of that small entrance by myself for a while. You should go earlier, otherwise you won't be able to get the entry token." There was a small black mole on his neck.
"Thank you, brother, for taking care of me this time!"
The two of them drank a glass of wine.
Jiang Ting looked at the two of them. Both of their cultivations were at Bone Refining Stage, so even Martial Cultivator s could not casually enter this Crippled Flower City?
Jiang Ting could not help but go over, and cupped his fists to the two of them and said: "Two big brothers."
The two of them put down their wine cups and put down their cups in a very friendly manner. The man with a square scarf on his head asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"
Jiang Ting very naturally sat down at the table of the two and poured his own wine for them.
Then, he said: "Brothers, this is the first time I have come to the Macadam Beach. I have walked for many days before I arrived at the realm of the Crippled Flower City, but according to what you two have said, doesn't this Crippled Flower City mean that everyone can enter it?"
Only then did the two of them let go of their earlier guard and said, "I can't complain. Little brother, you've just arrived, so you naturally don't know about it."
"On top of this Crippled Flower City, there is a powerful restriction. This restriction is extremely effective in blocking such strong wind and sand. Inside this Crippled Flower City, there is definitely a very peaceful place, and the sun is shining."
"Also, in this Crippled Flower City, it's actually the territory of the Ximen Family. After it's occupied by this aristocratic family, many people are chased out of the city. If anyone wants to enter the city, they have to pay a huge amount of Spirit Stone and buy tokens from the Wei's Inn before they can enter."
"Whether it's seeking medicine or purchasing a few essentials, we have to enter the city. However, the cost of entering the city once is not something that us ordinary people can bear!" Fang Pi said helplessly.
"Yes, little brother, I advise you. If you have no business entering the city, then I advise you not to enter. Spending that amount of money is not worth it!" The man with the black mole said the same.
"This …" Jiang Ting was also a little speechless, he never thought that in this crappy place, he would actually need to pay for everything.
Fang Pi shook his head in sympathy and said, "Little brother, if you want to go into the city, I'll tell you one way."
Jiang Ting's interest was immediately piqued, and he attentively listened.
"Not far from here is a Xiao Mansion. If you can enter the Xiao Mansion, you will become a servant of the Xiao Mansion. With your cultivation, you should be able to become a high class servant. If you can become a high class servant, you can obtain the Xiao Mansion badge and with the Xiao Mansion badge, you can enter the Crippled Flower City. As long as you don't stay for more than two days at a time, there will be no problem at all! "
Jiang Ting nodded, he finally understood why this man insisted on entering the Xiao Mansion.
"Alright, I'll try out my Xiao Mansion then!" Jiang Ting was extremely grateful to these two people.
The man with the square scarf said to Jiang Ting: "Brother, what's your name?"
"Jiang Ting."
"Brother Jiang Ting, if you don't mind, come with me to enter the Xiao Mansion together. My name is Sun Aid, a few years older than you, I'll be your big brother. How about it, I'm at least a local, so I know where to go through the Xiao Mansion." Sun Youcai cordially invited Jiang Ting.
Jiang Ting nodded his head, and said happily: "Big brother Sun, this little brother wishes for more!"
As he said that, Jiang Ting refilled the glasses on the two of them, and the three of them became friends.
Hei Zhi was also very happy and said towards Jiang Ting: "Brother Jiang Ting, I am a good friend of Sun Fu Cai, I am called Chang Jie. I am outside, if there is anything you need, feel free to come find me.
The three of them were extremely happy to drink for a while longer, after finishing the wine, they decided to directly send Sun Cai Cai and Jiang Ting to Xiao Mansion to apply for the position of servant!
After walking out of the restaurant, the sand storm made it difficult for people to open their eyes, so Jiang Ting immediately put on the mask, and Sun Youcai also took out the mask from his Cosmic Bag and put it on.
After walking out of the town, Jiang Ting found out that this Xiao Mansion was actually located in a very remote place.
Just at this time, Jiang Ting could vaguely see a figure in front of him. It seemed to be a woman, also wearing a thick cloak, carrying a heavy object in her hands as she travelled with difficulty.
What Jiang Ting could not understand, was that this woman's cultivation, was actually already at the Fifth Level of Blood Refining Stage level. However, walking was so arduous, it did not seem like being injured, even if the environment was bad, it should not be like this!
Jiang Ting did not mention anything about this anomaly to Sun AoE. The two of them continued their journey, and in a short period of time, the two of them had flashed past the lady's side.
Because of his previous curiosity, Jiang Ting couldn't help but turn around and look at her. After taking a glance, Jiang Ting finally understood the reason.
The woman could not even open her eyes because she was not wearing a mask. She was only trying to walk forward!
Jiang Ting immediately pulled Sun Youcai's hand, and Sun Youcai also noticed the girl. Sun Youcai was warmhearted, and couldn't help but sympathize with the girl, Jiang Ting had already taken off the mask on his face, walked towards the girl and asked: "Miss, why are you not wearing a mask? I'll lend you mine. "
The lady forced herself to raise her head, and opened her eyes. She looked at Jiang Ting, and then at the mask in Jiang Ting's hands.
Jiang Ting was a little surprised, he looked at Sun Fuyi, and a tornado appeared. It was even more difficult than before, and Jiang Ting could not help but block the lady's path, and said: "Miss, please try your best, I do not have any ill intentions!"
The woman had no choice but to stop for the second time and say, "Thank you for your good intentions. I don't wear a mask." His voice was somewhat cold, and then he continued onward.
Sun Youcai's reaction was a little slow, as if he was slow to react. He directly asked, "Why don't you wear a mask? You can't even walk like this? "
The woman only glanced at Sun Youcai, but didn't explain. She continued to walk forward.
Jiang Ting held onto Sun Youcai, and then, with a slight movement of his fingertip, they formed a restriction. After that, he said to the lady: "Miss, where are you going?
At least she could open her eyes and look at the road ahead clearly. Only then did she see Jiang Ting, the coldness on her face had disappeared, and she asked: "You two, where are you going?"
"We are going to the Xiao Mansion." Originally, Jiang Ting did not want to tell the truth to the others, but why would he be?
After the woman heard Sun Youcai's words, her eyes moved. She couldn't help but size up the two of them for a moment, and her expression also became a little warmer. She said: "I'm also heading towards the Xiao Mansion. Let's travel together."
The change in the attitude of the woman left Jiang Ting a little surprised. He thought for a bit and said: "Could it be that the miss is also a person with Xiao Mansion?"
With regards to Jiang Ting's intelligence, the woman smiled and nodded. She did not say anything more and quietly continued to travel.
This was because this girl was travelling together with him. Even that big-mouthed Sun Avenger had become a lot more obedient.
With Jiang Ting's help, his walking became a lot more relaxed, and Jiang Ting and Sun Xiongcai also had masks on, so, it didn't take long before they reached the Xiao Mansion.
The Xiao Mansion also understood that the reason these people came here as servants was because they wanted to use the Xiao Mansion medallion. Furthermore, the Xiao Mansion would also lower the price of the servants who worked for a short period of time, so taking what each person needed, could be considered as a balance.
The woman said to the two of them, "Weren't you two here to apply for the servant exam? "In that case, you can go register with the Head Supervisor. I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be going in first."
"Miss, I'm guessing you're someone from the Xiao Mansion. You must have been in the Xiao Mansion for a long time, right?" Sun Youcai took the initiative to look closer, and was extremely clumsy, causing Jiang Ting to keep rolling his eyes.
The woman laughed, nodded and said: "Yes, but I cannot help you. The rules of Xiao Mansion are very serious, and your cultivation is not low, so you should be able to pass."0
With that, the woman turned and walked into the Xiao Mansion, not even bothering to greet the housekeeper at all.
