The guard tried to push Jiang Xiaobai, but it was as if he was pushing a huge mountain, utterly unmoved.

For a moment, the guard was stunned, only then realizing the strong aura of a late-stage Yuan Infant on Jiang Xiaobai.

Even though there was such a big difference in their realms, the guard was not at all flustered.

Joking? He was a gate guard at the city lord’s mansion. Who would dare lay a hand on someone from the city lord’s mansion?

Being unable to push Jiang Xiaobai made him feel slightly disgraced. Instantaneously, he yelled, taking out the long knife at his waist and pressing it against Jiang Xiaobai’s throat.

“You dog-like thing, didn’t you hear me tell you to scram? Do you really think you can run amuck in the city lord’s mansion?”

The guard scolded furiously.

Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression cold: “I’ll give you three seconds to pull that knife away, or you’ll bear the consequences!” Having said that, AnRan at his side was also ready to fight.

For a moment, a standoff suddenly began at the city master’s mansion gate. Passersby quickly gathered around to watch the spectacle. After all, there weren’t many who dared to cause trouble at the city lord’s mansion gate.

The city lord’s mansion guard glared, feeling greatly humiliated.

“You fucking… really think you are something, I also give you three seconds.

Otherwise, this knife will go right through your throat!”

“Three seconds are up.”

At this point, Jiang Xiaobai spoke indifferently, getting ready to take care of this foolhardy guard.

Anyway, he’s already a fugitive of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, and the grievance with the dynasty was a fight to the death, what did he have to fear?

AnRan’s face was full of excitement. Finally, he could cause trouble with his boss again.

Just then, someone hurriedly walked out from the city lord’s mansion. Seeing the grim confrontation at the gate, he immediately yelled.

“You damned bastards, who gave you the audacity to cause havoc here?”

The person who had emerged was none other than Wang Laowu, who had been dispatched from inside the city lord’s mansion.

“Brother Wang, this kid doesn’t know what death is. He insists on going into the city lord’s mansion to see the city lord. Do you think he is qualified to do

“I won’t let him in, and he causes a scene at the gate, taking advantage of his high cultivation level to bully me!”

The guard immediately added fuel to the fire, portraying Jiang Xiaobai in the worst light possible in just a few short sentences.

Wang Laowu narrowed his eyes: “Damn it, who the fuck is so bold as to cause trouble in the city lord’s mansion?”

Immediately, Wang Laowu pushed past the two guards and moved forward to see who had such audacity.

However, when he saw who it was, Wang Laowu was stunned.

“You, you, you…”

AnRan’s eyes widened, and he pointed angrily at Wang Laowu, reprimanding him: “Boss, it’s this damn guy who took the money and ran off!”

“Huh, so you’re the one who swallowed my money, huh?”

Jiang Xiaobai also sneered, his gaze looking Wang Laowu up and down, like a tiger eyeing its prey.

Such a gaze made Wang Laowu tremble in fear.

He had personally seen Jiang Xiaobai defeat Gong Shuier in the arena before, and that was a solid early-stage avatar realm expert.

Not to mention, his own cultivation level was only at the late Jindan stage!

“That… Young Master Hong, it’s not what you think. How could I have swallowed your money?” Wang Laowu eagerly explained.

Jiang Xiaobai looked indifferent: “Oh? If that’s the case, why did you run?”

“It’s not that… the amount was just too large. I was planning to report it to the city lord. After all, I don’t have so much money on me.” Wang Laowu spoke humbly to Jiang Xiaobai, his face full of smiles.

This behavior left the spectators in shock.

They all knew who Wang Laowu was. He was always causing trouble in Qiankun City with the backing of the city lord’s mansion. No one dared to mess with him.

And yet, someone like him was actually being so respectful to a young man like Jiang Xiaobai? Especially when Jiang Xiaobai was causing a ruckus at the city lord’s mansion gate and the other party did not even dare to be arrogant?

What was going on?

“Well, if that’s the case, I guess I’ll trust you this once. Since you’ve already reported it to the city lord’s mansion, you should be able to give me the money, right?” Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile.

“Well…

Wang Laowu was suddenly sweating profusely.

Money?

He was joking. Who could afford fifty billion high-grade spirit stones?

“What, are you not willing to pay?” AnRan sneered from the side. “I have the promissory note with me, black and white, and it has your city lord’s mansion’s seal. Are you planning to deny it?”

“Of course not!”

Wang Laowu hastily replied: “How about this, follow me into the city lord’s mansion, and I’ll explain it all to you.”

“No need. You can explain here and now. I don’t have that much time to waste on you.” Jiang Xiaobai spoke indifferently.

For a moment, Wang Laowu was in a difficult position.

Explaining at the gate? Wouldn’t that create a bigger scene?

The city lord’s mansion couldn’t possibly produce fifty billion high-grade spirit stones. The only option was to refund the original sum along with some of today’s income. But that would only add up to a few more billion, which was simply not enough.

Now, with so many people watching and AnRan getting ready to reveal the promissory note, everyone would know the details. Clear as day.

If they didn’t give the money this time, it would create a huge scene!

Wang Laowu was half-dead with anger. How could these two guys have arrived so quickly!

“What, can’t find your words?” AnRan sneered. “So, your city lord’s mansion is trying to renege on its debts? Fine, watch, everyone, this is the promissory note in my hand. The city lord’s mansion owes us fifty…”

“Wait, wait, wait, let’s talk it over, brother!”

Seeing AnRan starting to shout at the top of his lungs, Wang Laowu hurriedly interrupted.

“I don’t need your explanation, nor do I need your pretense of friendliness here. All I want is for your city lord’s mansion to pay me what I’m due. Understand?” Jiang Xiaobai spoke indifferently.

“You…”

Wang Laowu was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. But there was nothing he could do. Under the current circumstances, he couldn’t do anything against the rules.

If the matter got blown out of proportion, Gu Xian’s plan would be useless. He would not only have to bear the fury of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, but he, Wang Laowu, would surely be dealt with by Gu Xian.

As the number one lackey, Wang Laowu understood Gu Xian’s methods all too well.

Just the thought of it sent shivers down his spine.

Immediately, Wang Laowu hurried over to Jiang Xiaobai, a flattering smile plastered all over his face.

“Young Master Hong, the money… it’s just too much. The city lord’s mansion really doesn’t have that much, ah.”

“How about this: I give back your principal, and also give you… five billion high-grade spirit stones as compensation. From then on, you’ll be a VIP in our city lord’s mansion. If there’s anything you need, the city lord’s mansion will clear the way for you. How about that?”

“This is a great opportunity to make connections with the city lord’s mansion, and the Thousand Yuan Dynasty. When the time comes, our city lord can even put in a good word for you there.”

“Furthermore, with your talent and potential, Young Master Hong, it’s highly feasible for you to cultivate within the empire!” Wang Laowu tried to tempt Jiang Xiaobai into accepting a verbal promise to temporarily pacify him.

After all, five billion and the city lord mansion’s good graces were quite substantial offers.

“Oh? So you’re saying, you’ve decided not to pay?”

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly laughed coldly..
