Chapter 479: No use staying any longer

After asking the people in the town, Zuo Feng and the other two quickly found the mayor's place. There were not too many twists and turns about the token given for promotion. City Lord Lin handed a round ball that was neither gold nor jade to Zuo Feng on behalf of the mayor.

According to Su Yan, this was given when the lowest level of competition was promoted in all places, which means that no matter which town you qualified for the competition, you would be given such a ball.

This ball was smaller than the tip of a little finger, but Zuo Feng saw that it was somewhat similar to his prison lock. In addition to the fact that this ball did not have the effect of inhibiting the flow of spiritual energy, it was also very heavy.

Although he was very curious about the ball, Zuo Feng knew that now was not the time to study it carefully. With the token of promotion in hand, there was only one more difficult problem left. To be more precise, Su Yan wanted to return the gambling money she won with the gold cake.

Zuo Feng's registration fee was easily returned, and he also received a reward of 100 gold coins. Although this little money was nothing to Zuo Feng, he remembered that these people had played so many tricks since the registration and selection, so he took all the money without hesitation.

And Su Yan's gambling money was a bit scary. In addition to returning the gold cake she took out, the other party had to repay the gambling money of the stone gold cake, which was not a small amount of money.

Although Zuo Feng wanted to persuade Su Yan not to make trouble and leave as soon as possible, because he also knew that Su Yan did not lack this money, but in the end he did not say those words of persuasion. These old guys are really abominable. Not only did they cheat for personal gain, but they also made things difficult for Zuo Feng. Making them embarrassed could also make Zuo Feng feel happy.

What people did not expect was that they could barely make up this huge debt in the end. However, it was not Huang Chengcheng's ten gold cakes. The entire Tushan Town was searched, but only four gold cakes were found, and it seemed that three of them should still be the property of the town, not the private property of Mayor Gao.

Later, in order to help Mayor Gao, City Lord Lin also took out all the money on his body, and finally Mayor Gao also found some of his four treasures. After this search, including various rare medicinal materials, a family medicine cauldron, and several fairly good prescriptions, all added together, it was barely enough to be worth the four gold handles.

Although City Lord Lin came forward to plead, hoping that Su Yan could show mercy. But Su Yan just said lightly, "If you think it's not okay, then I will let you have a few days, and then I will let the family members come to collect it, but then I will charge you interest."

This sentence almost made Mayor Gao faint. This is not a little girl, but a big devil.

Mayor Gao was so angry that he almost fainted again after hearing Su Yan's words, but he was angry and he dared not default on the debt he owed.

Are you kidding? That's the Su family, the family that protects the Xuanwu Empire. If they wait until their family comes to collect the money, they will know that they have made things difficult for their Su family. It's really not something that can be taken away with just a few melons and dates.

Enduring the pain in his heart, Mayor Gao turned out all the skills and martial arts that he had hidden privately. After counting and calculating the stock price, these things were enough to pay off Su Yan's gambling debt.

But when the three of them left the mayor, the sky had gradually darkened. Looking up at the sun that had already half sunk into the horizon, it felt like a stone was pressing on my heart.

Su Yan and Amber were excited because they could hold their heads high and get such a large amount of gambling money, but now they couldn't help but think of Duan Yueyao's warning before. The other party's reminder was still ringing in his ears. It can be seen that Duan Yueyao did not exaggerate at all. Even when she said it, she just stopped at the right time. She didn't want to reveal too much, but she hoped to attract the attention of several people.

The more such a person who does things flawlessly reminds, the more it will make several people feel serious. Originally, Zuo Feng didn't care too much in his heart. He was now very confident that he could easily deal with the joint attack of two or three early-stage tempering warriors, or even two second-stage tempering warriors.

But now, somehow, as if affected by the emotions of Su Yan and the other person, his mood began to become nervous. He was not worried about himself now, but worried about Su Yan, who had the lowest cultivation among the few people. If the enemy seized Su Yan's weakness and launched targeted tactics, then even if he and Amber had been prepared, it would be difficult to guarantee that it would be foolproof.

Thinking of these, Zuo Feng regretted it a little. He and others should have paid more attention to Duan Yueyao's words at the beginning, and should not be so obsessed with the gambling money that the old man surnamed Gao admired.

Su Yan seemed to be giving himself courage. He snorted coldly, and then picked out two gold cakes and handed them to Amber. Then he took out the prescriptions and medicinal materials he got, and gave them to Zuo Feng together with the family medicine cauldron of Mayor Gao.

Although Zuo Feng refused again and again, he could not resist Su Yan's insistence and had to accept the medicine cauldron like Amber. Zuo Feng knew that Su Yan must have thought a lot, and if he did not accept these things, it would make her think too much.

After a discussion, the three decided to leave Tushan Town as soon as possible overnight. The people in Tushan Town didn't have much good feelings towards the three of them, especially Mayor Gao and others who hated them. If it weren't for Su Yan's identity, they would have taken action against them without waiting for Cheng Tianhao to take action.

Besides, there was no inn in Tushan Town willing to take them in, and Zuo Feng didn't want to ask Duan Yueyao for help, because he had just rejected Duan Yueyao's invitation during the day. If they camped outside the town like last night, it would be like a live target for people to attack, which was not a wise choice.

So in the end, the three decided to leave here without stopping and head towards Tushan City first. After making the decision, the three did not stop, but simply bought some things and left quickly, heading towards the boat at the pier.

When the three left, they should have noticed that the situation was different, because many people around them noticed the three of them. It was normal for Zuo Feng to attract some people's attention because of his good performance during the day, but this would also allow people to clearly understand the whereabouts of the three.

Zuo Feng did not say that he felt someone following him from behind shortly after he left Mayor Gao. Because saying this would only make Amber and Su Yan more worried, he simply kept a low profile and secretly watched. The person following him did not have a very deep cultivation, so Zuo Feng could always clearly sense his presence.

But the follower had no intention of taking action, and his cultivation was only at the peak of the Bone Refining Stage. It did not look like he was going to take action, but rather like he was investigating the whereabouts of the three people.

The three of them came to the dock and soon found Amber's boat parked there. Without saying a word, the three of them flew up, opened the sails and quickly sailed away from the dock. The sun in the distance also completely disappeared in the western sky at this time, and a slightly cool and humid breeze blew over, making the three people feel cool from the inside out.

After the boat left the dock, it continued to move forward in the original direction. At this time, the three of them had officially entered Linshan Town. The previous flat terrain suddenly disappeared, replaced by rolling hills, but the surrounding mountains were not high or steep, which was somewhat special from the terrain of the chaotic land.

They were now in a tributary, and because of the mountain, the waterway became more winding and difficult to navigate. However, these were not too serious problems for Zuo Feng and others. What made them most depressed was that soon after they left the small dock in Tushan Town, they found a small boat following behind them at a leisurely pace.

As they accelerated forward, the boat behind them caught up at full speed. If they slowed down, the other party would immediately slow down.

"Are they deliberately torturing us like this, making us always in a state of mental tension, and then taking action when they have tortured us enough?"

Su Yan said angrily, hitting the side of the boat with some depression, turning her head and looking at the boat behind her. Zuo Feng knew that after she reported her identity, the other party dared to follow her so fearlessly, which made her completely understand the true fire.

Zuo Feng shook his head slowly, and he seemed to be the calmest among the three. Controlling the rudder in his hand, he slowly said: "They are waiting, waiting for the people behind to gather and then attack us."

As soon as Zuo Feng finished speaking, Amber immediately said: "In this case, we might as well take the initiative to kill them before their manpower is gathered. I don't believe they can handle it if you and I work together."

Turning his head to look at Amber with a murderous look on his face, Zuo Feng couldn't help but nod secretly. His reaction was not bad. He was able to think of taking the initiative in the face of such a dilemma.

But after hesitating for a while, Zuo Feng said: "I don't think your suggestion is right, but attacking them now will only slow us down. They mainly want to wait until we are far away from Tushan Town before taking action, so that no one will know who attacked us. After all, there is another person among us that they must be cautious of."

Speaking of this, Zuo Feng and Amber looked at Su Yan at the same time. The person Zuo Feng was referring to as being cautious by the enemy was of course Su Yan. If Su Yan hadn't been there, the other party might not have needed to go through so much trouble and might have just started fighting in Tushan Town. But with her, the enemy had to be more thorough and not leave any evidence. After all, the Su family was not easy to mess with in the Xuanwu Empire.

"Then we just keep going. Don't we need to change direction or speed up and leave as soon as possible?"

Su Yan hesitated for a moment and asked anxiously.

Zuo Feng looked at the boat behind him and shook his head helplessly.
