The Emptiness Dragon System
CH.25AM. Not Conform to Expectations

In the backyard of the Crow Claw Pavilion, Hua Ru Meng, Hao Rong, and the others looked dumbstruck. Compared to Lu Tian Feng's humility, they were more concerned with Qin Shan's identity and why the City Guard Commander changed his attitude after meeting him.

"It seems like there's a small misunderstanding here. I don't know where these stupid underlings heard the rumors that made them believe there were troublemakers in this area, but it seems like they acted hastily and came to make arrests for no reason, he said, causing damage to the Crow Claw Pavilion. Chairman Hua can rest assured, I will absolutely not let you suffer such a futile loss. I will take the situation seriously and give a satisfactory explanation to Chairman Hua," Lu Tian Feng declared solemnly as he patted his chest and promised.

"Ah... en.." Hua Ru Meng smiled resolutely, "This matter is not entirely the fault of Vice Commander Bai, we are also partly responsible."

Hearing that, Bai Zheng's eyes began to tear up as he looked towards Hua Ru Meng with eyes full of gratitude.

"Is that really so?" Lu Tian Feng raised his brows carefully looking towards Qin Shan's room and said softly, "Since Chairman Hua is very reasonable …"

"Hmmm!" From the direction of the room, a snorting sound was heard.

Lu Tian Feng shivered at this grunt and firmly stated, "Even if Chairman Hua reasoned, they should be punished for the mistakes they made. As members of the Purple Lotus City Guards, they also had to follow the laws in place, Vice Commander Bai, what do you think?"

Bai Zheng knew he had kicked the iron plate this time, his face was full of regret, he lowered his head and said, "The branch acted rashly and mismanaged the situation. Subordinate apologized to Chairman Hua and asked Lord Commander to give the appropriate punishment."

Hua Ru Meng waved her hand in panic, she repeatedly claimed that she did not dare.

Lu Tian Feng looked at Bai Zheng coldly and declared, "Because the Deputy Commander has already eluded Chairman Hua and the Crow Claw Pavilion. I sentenced you to one month in prison in Frozen Prison."

Frozen Prison! Bai Zheng shivered, his face pale.

Frozen Prison was a natural frozen world where it would freeze one's Qi Energy, no matter how high its cultivation was. In other words, once one entered the Frozen Prison, they could only rely on physical strength to withstand the bone-chilling cold.

Without Energy Qi, how many cultivators could withstand such an extremely cold environment?

A month in the Frozen Prison was no different than being thrown into the gates of Hell!

"As for the damage you caused to the Crow Claw Pavilion .. Hand over all your Storage Rings."

After Lu Tian Feng issued such an order, no one dared to resist. One by one, all the guards took off their Storage Ring and handed it over, including Bai Zheng.

Lu Tian Feng smiled then handed the ring to Hua Ru Meng and said, "Chairman Hua, I hope you can forgive and not lower yourself to the same level as this group of idiots. These were all compensation fees for the Crow Claw Pavilion."

"Senior Lu ..." Hua Ru Meng was completely dumbfounded. Facing a dazzling stack of Storage Rings, he did not dare to refuse or accept, leaving him perplexed for a moment.

"Chairman Hua, please .. please don't refuse." Lu Tian Feng said solemnly with a gaze that almost begged for Hua Ru Meng to accept it.

The man in the room was still watching him, and Commander Lu knew if he did not handle the matter well, losing an arm was his least concern.

"Why are you still standing here? Go to Frozen Prison to serve your sentence!" Lu Tian Feng roared at Bai Zheng and the others.

"Yes!" Bai Zheng and the other guards quickly fled, trembling in fear.

After all his subordinates disappeared, Lu Tian Feng turned around, cupped his hands towards the room, and said, "Master, are you satisfied with handling this matter?"

Qin Shan's voice immediately came out of the room, "Commander Lu must be joking, it is the Commander's responsibility to keep the peace in the city, reward the good and punish the evil. As long as you are sure that justice has been served, why ask what this King thinks?"

After hearing this, Lu Tian Feng felt relieved, knowing the other party would no longer pursue the matter. Quickly bowing his head, he continued, "What Master said is indeed true. I'm willing to resign then, take a good rest, sir!"

Lu Tian Feng nodded politely to Hua Ru Meng and the others then quickly walked out.

After a while, Hua Ru Meng sighed, turned around, and said, "For today's matter, I express my sincere thanks."

"Chairman Hua is too polite, it's just a little effort," Qin Shan smiled calmly. He heard a hint of admiration, fear, and even error, in Hua Ru Meng's tone of voice, Qin Shan had already guessed that before so he didn't really care.

"Master must be tired, I won't bother you any further. Tomorrow, I will visit Master again," Hua Ru Meng whispered.

"Chairman Hua is very good. You must have a lot of things to take care of, just take care of your business, I'm fine."

Hua Ru Meng nodded, winked at Ling Gao, and the two women left.

Unfortunately, the Purple Lotus would start to notice him after this, which would make it much more difficult to search for the dragon ancestor's power shards. Qin Shan felt a headache from having to rethink his plan from the start.

...***...

The next day, Qin Shan was traveling with Hua Ru Meng in the Purple Lotus City market, to look around for items that he thought were unique.

This market is very crowded, many shops and lesehan merchants lined up along the street. Some were selling food, artifacts, even pet monsters.

Qin Shan was currently squatting in front of a stall selling various artifacts, he was again bargaining with the owner.

"Brother, this long sword was found in the ancient ruins, the refining materials were excellent. Isn't your offer of 10,000 Gold Coins a bit outrageous." The seller shouted furiously.

"10,000 is no more." Qin Shan ignored the merchant's argument with a smile.

"Good, good, you made the bargain difficult. I will sell it for 80,000 Gold Coins. Think of it as my respect for your business skills."

"10.000!"

"70,000. This is really the last price, I can't lower it any further!"

"10.000!"

"Are you serious? You can't tell the quality of the goods .. Well, you look like a handsome and intelligent man my brother, so I'll give you a little face. 65,000!"

"10.000!"

"60.000!"

"10.000!"

"Damn it, was it my enemy who sent you to mock me? Do you think I won't kill you here!?" The seller was so angry that he took out a Saint King level sword and pointed it at Qin Shan's nose, it seemed like he would not tolerate nonsense anymore.

Qin Shan laughed out loud, immediately stood up, and hurried away.

"Stupid!" The salesman saw her run away and stored her artifact before yelling towards the disappearing Qin Shan, "Don't let me see you here again, or I'll hit you like a pig!"

"Master.." Hua Ru Meng appeared next to Qin Shan with a frown on her face, "This…"

He could not believe what he had just seen. A dignified Origin King master had actually bid back and forth several thousand Gold Coins with a Saint King cultivator for half an hour, in the end not buying anything and being expelled.

Was he really an Origin King cultivator? Did he not care how offended the seller was to him? If that salesman knew he had just pointed a weapon at an Origin King cultivator, it was extremely difficult to imagine what the seller's expression would be like.

"I've just experienced the local customs while wasting time," Qin Shan explained with a smile. "It turns out that the temperament of the cultivators of Purple Lotus City is rather hot."

Hua Ru Meng did not know whether to laugh or cry, thinking that anyone who was pestered endlessly would react similarly.

Qin Shan continued to look around, as if he was a country hick who had just come to the big city for the first time, all of them gave him a fresh feeling.

As for Hua Ru Meng, his head was in a mess. Qin Shan's appearance completely subverted his perception of the Origin King's figure.

In his imagination, the Origin King had to be like Lu Tian Feng, arrogant and aloof, but when he saw Qin Shan who was mingling into the crowd, looked no different from an ordinary cultivator, he said, even a little naive. If he had not known Qin Shan before, Hua Ru Meng would not have believed Qin Shan was an Origin King cultivator.
