No one notified me in advance. Everyone in the end times is crazy.

Chapter 345 Young people don’t care about money

Jiangnan suddenly transformed himself into a cynical young man, waving a folding fan in his hand and walking among the street vendors.

"Auntie, your fruit is really good! It looks delicious."

"Of course!" The fruit seller picked up a fruit and rubbed it on her sleeve, then handed it to Jiangnan and continued, "Come, try it. If it's not sweet, I'll give you the whole stall!"

Jiangnan took a bite of the fruit, his face showing joy as he praised, "It's indeed sweeter than any fruit I've eaten before."

"Hahaha! Right? This is a fruit that His Majesty the Emperor specially ordered to be improved."

"How can such a valuable thing fall into the hands of ordinary people?"

"It's not just fruits, it's also grains. These have been common for over a hundred years. How come you act like you don't know anything?"

Jiangnan made up an excuse and said, "I've been in seclusion for too long and don't know much about what's going on now."

"Ah? You're a cultivator? Look at me..." The old lady took a few more fruits and stuffed them into Jiangnan's arms, saying with concern, "You've worked hard in cultivation. Eat more fruits to replenish your body. You look so thin. Have you been in seclusion for hundreds of years without eating?"

Jiangnan was caught off guard by the sudden enthusiasm. He left a spirit stone on the stall and said goodbye to the old lady. (One spirit stone is equal to ten taels of gold)

The old lady picked up the spirit stone and ran after him, shouting, "Young man, you gave too much! Those fruits are only six copper coins!"

When she chased into the crowd, she found that Jiangnan had disappeared.

"As expected of a cultivator, so amazing."

In a blink of an eye, Jiangnan appeared in a restaurant. Her eyes swept over the people drinking and finally locked onto a strong man drinking alone.

He walked towards the burly man, tapped his shoulder with his fan, and said hello: "Brother, long time no see! What a coincidence! You are drinking here too."

Luo Shiyu was confused after hearing this.

[Hmm? When did my teacher get to know this guy?]

The burly man who was knocked turned around and glanced at Jiangnan, and asked impatiently: "Who are you?"

"Brother, you are such a forgetful person." After saying this, Jiangnan stopped the passing waiter and asked him to bring the most expensive wine in the store to his brother.

When the sturdy man heard this, he immediately smiled and put his arm around Jiangnan's shoulders to let her sit down. He said familiarly, "Look at this, brother. It's really expensive."

"Just enjoy your drink, brother. By the way, brother, I just arrived here not long ago and I'm unfamiliar with the place. There are many things I want to ask you."

"Then you've asked the right person! He knows a lot!"

"That's great! I'm just a little curious. Is the current emperor a wise ruler?" Jiangnan was afraid he would misunderstand, so he took out the fruit the lady had given him and explained, "Just now, when I passed by a vendor, an lady gave me some fruit, saying that these were specially improved by His Majesty the Emperor. Because of this, I'm a little curious about His Majesty. No offense meant."

The strong man took a sip of wine and seemed very satisfied with it, and started talking.

"A hundred years ago, he was considered a wise ruler. After he took over, he immediately eliminated corrupt officials, collected taxes and grain, redistributed land to the people, reduced taxes, built dams, and carried out pest control. The people's pockets were filled. His Majesty the Emperor was even more thoughtful, establishing new institutions to ensure public safety. Even if you leave your doors open at night, there's no need to worry about thieves sneaking in."

"This is indeed what a wise ruler can be regarded as."

"only…"

"Just what?"

"A hundred years ago, the emperor married a man with great fanfare. On their wedding night, the man ran away. From then on, soldiers were dispatched to search for her, searching house by house. They couldn't find her, but they still took advantage of her. That period was a chaotic time."

"and then?"

"Just four years ago, the male queen was found, and everyone returned to a peaceful and prosperous life. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Less than a year later, news of the queen's death arrived. The emperor frantically searched for a way to revive her. It's funny to say that we, the people, hope for the queen's resurrection even more than he does. Who doesn't want a peaceful life?"

The strong man pointed at the fruit in Jiangnan's hand and continued, "There is also a romantic rumor about this fruit."

"What rumors?"

"Rumor has it that the Empress has been practicing for many years but is still at the Body Refining Stage, and hasn't practiced fasting. She has very particular requirements for food, and the Emperor invented these sweet fruits to please her."

"So, the emperor loves his male wife very much?"

"Of course you don't know. The bright sun that day was obscured by dark clouds. Looking up, we realized it was a spaceship carrying the betrothal gifts. Everyone joked that the emperor had sent most of the palace over. The year of the wedding, taxes were even exempted for all citizens. It should have been a cause for celebration. What a pity! If only the empress hadn't died, it would have been much better."

Jiangnan collected enough information and nodded with satisfaction.

He left a bag of spirit stones on the table and waved goodbye to the strong man.

"Brother, let's talk next time. My younger brother has something to do and has to leave first."

After Jiangnan left, the strong man opened the bag and saw that it was filled with spirit stones. He was instantly shocked and even felt like he had survived a disaster.

Because ordinary people cannot afford so many spirit stones in their entire lives, those who dare to spend so lavishly are either the geniuses of a certain family or the elders of a certain major sect. He cannot afford to offend any of them.

"I didn't say anything to offend this gentleman just now, did I?"

Jiangnan returned to the top of the clouds, and a bunch of tentacles attacked her.

She calmly removed her disguise, and the tentacles retracted instantly.

Mu Tong was full of question marks and had no idea what was going on.

Jiangnan flicked her forehead and said jokingly, "Your little head isn't big enough!"

"how could be?"

"It was that old woman and the wandering teenager who disrupted the order of the plane. You are going to strangle them. What does this have to do with me?"

"I see. Simply changing my appearance won't trigger the rules of the plane. My creator is truly clever!"

"This idea was actually taught to me by my master."

"Your master is also very smart."

Jiangnan smiled, and the image of Lu Ming holding her and calling her "little disciple" in various ways appeared in her mind.

"Does Master miss me? Hurry up and clean up the mess, finish the mission, and go back to see him."

Mu Tong withdrew his attention and returned to the topic, "Why did you run away to do those things?"

"I originally wanted to start an uprising, then sneak in to kill Jin Fanling and assist the new king." Jiangnan shook his head and denied his idea.

"It's been too long. An uprising takes time, and it will take time for the new emperor to ascend the throne and consolidate his position. I don't have that much time. Fortunately, I learned that he was a wise ruler before, and his ministers were loyal to him. The people only expressed regret for Yun Yi's death, and there was no resentment towards Jin Fanling. So there is still hope, and there is no need for the trouble of changing the dynasty."

"What are you going to do?"

Jiangnan leisurely pulled out a black collar and introduced it, "A plane where orcs are commodities. From birth, those orcs wear collars that prevent them from disobeying their masters' wishes." (My next book, "Quick Travel," will feature this plane, so stay tuned!)

Mu Tong asked, "Do you want to put this collar around Jin Fanling's neck?"

"It's not my turn. The mad dog's collar must be worn by its owner! I'm going to the underworld to get Yun Yi back now!"

Mu Tong grabbed Jiang Nan's skirt and stopped him, "Wait!"

"what?"

"Yun Yi's soul did not go to the underworld."

"Where did you go?"

"The Sea of ​​Silence."
