Chapter 522: Chapter 223: Perhaps, Luo Chen is Right_2
After saying that, he looked expectantly at Luo Chen.
“Hahaha!”
Luo Chen laughed.
It’s a laughing in extreme anger!
The price is so high that, if you add a few hundred more, you could buy another large Ascendant Grade Flying Boat.
Lu Rong really considers them as fat lambs from the countryside to be slaughtered!
Seeing Luo Chen’s laughter, Lu Rong’s eyes lit up.
“Friend, what do you mean?”
“No wash!”
“Huh?”
“Nor fixes!”
“Ah!”
Lu Rong’s smile faded.
“Friend, it seems like you’re making a joke of me.”
Luo Chen also stopped laughing, “The Ice Castle Cultivator at the gate only said that we should park our boat here. He didn’t say that we must wash it, or we must fix it.”
Lu Rong opened his mouth, and finally laughed in extreme anger.
Not bothering to argue with Luo Chen, he returned to his shady spot and sat smoking.
Luo Chen glanced at him and looked at Xu Xiao Liu.
“How much do you charge for parking?”
Xu Xiao Liu, no longer cunning, said carefully, “For large vessels like yours, the daily parking fee is one Lower Grade Spirit Stone.”
“Is there a time limit?”
“Yes, after a month, the price will be doubled.”
“How can you be sure that you will not disassemble valuable material?”
“The management of Tianlan City has installed imagery on the wall for complete surveillance. If valuable materials are stolen, the Enforcement Team of Tianlan City will catch the thief and punish the thief severely.”
“What if the flying boat is broken?”
“Well… that should… not happen!”
“Okay, park for ten days first!”
As soon as Luo Chen finished speaking, Sima Huiniang walked over and handed ten spirit stones to Xu Xiao Liu.
“We’ll also stop for ten days!”
“Same for us.”
Cultivators from the Li Family and the Nangong Family immediately took out their spirit stones.
As Xu Xiao Liu took them, he quickly ran into a small loft in the mooring yard.
In a short while, he came out with three plates that didn’t seem wooden, or iron.
“These are parking plates. You can use them to pay your parking fees.”
Having said that, he respectfully stood aside.
Waiting for Luo Chen and others to leave.
But unexpectedly.
Luo Chen looked at him from afar.
“We lack a guide, are you interested in earning a tip?”
Xu Xiao Liu was stunned, and quickly followed.
Luo Chen gave a slight smile, glanced at Lu Rong without a trace and led his people away.
After they left.
The cultivators from the Divine Craft Clan across the mooring yard began to laugh.
“Lu Rong, that was embarrassing!”
“Get out!”
“Lu Rong, my friend, business must be done properly. We can’t just slaughter anyone we meet! In my opinion, if you’d spoken it well, you might have caught a deal.”
“Go to hell!”
Lu Rong looked gloomy, watching the direction in which Luo Chen and his team were going.
“Damn, a bunch of peasants, can’t even squeeze out two drops of oil.”
Taking a deep breath, he returned the smoke into his body gradually.
His eyes wandering, fell onto the Sky Hawk Flying Boat that had just stabilized not long ago.
A hint of yin floated around the corner of his mouth.
…
“It’s really expensive!”
“Yeah, yeah, parking a flying boat costs a spirit stone every day.”
“Parking is still fine. This kind of large flying boat can’t be packed into ordinary storage bags. We don’t have a place to land temporarily, so we use the parking fee to hire people to take care of it. The trickiest part is, the prices for boat-washing and repairing.”
“Tsk, they really take us for bumpkins, ready to be fleeced.”
“Qian Tong, stop it. When the Great River District Dao Debate Platform was first launched, didn’t you also take advantage of us outsiders?”
“Tsk tsk, that’s different. That was then, this is now. We’re all brothers!”
“You ask me, it’s still Elder’s profound insight, he identified them as bad guys at a glance!”
“Indeed, when I saw a group of people coming to help us wash the flying boat, I was quite happy.”
“Following the Elder is always right, we’ve never lost out.”
“But, how are we going to live after this, I wonder?”
“Why worry about such things? Isn’t it better to get a good look at the big Immortal City later!”
“Yes, from afar, I was really impressed. I wonder what it’s like on the inside?”
…
Behind him, the discussions continued without end.
Luo Chen didn’t seem to notice, as he walked and looked at Xu Xiao Liu with a faint smile.
“Liu, helping strangers to rip us off isn’t quite right!”
Stranger?
You’re the stranger, right?
Swallowing, Xu Xiao Liu said in horror, “Master, I was wrong in trying to trick you. Please don’t kill me…my great uncle is an Ice Castle Cultivator.”
“Your great uncle? The old man at the gate who’s at the Ninth Level of Qi Refinement?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” He nodded as if smashing garlic, fearing that Luo Chen might harbour murderous intentions.
“So are you an Ice Castle Cultivator?”
“No.”
“A Rogue Cultivator?”
“Uh-huh.”
Just as Xu Xiao Liu realized something, he asked, “Why don’t you think I’m part of the Divine Craft Clan?”
Luo Chen motioned with his lips, “Take a look at your clothes.”
Xu Xiao Liu looked down, his attire was simple- a plain white robe. And then, he had an epiphany.
Indeed, his style could not be compared with the Divine Craft Clan.
Luo Chen chuckled. His judgement that Xu Xiao Liu wasn’t a disciple of the Divine Craft Clan wasn’t based on just his clothes.
It was also the characteristics of his palms.
The hands of all Divine Craft Clan disciples had thick calluses, and there was a specific smell emanating from their bodies.
This must be because they have been washing flying boats all year round, stained with what the clan calls Exclusive Spirit Fluid.
Ever since he reached the Finalization Level of the Cleaning Technique, he was quite sensitive to these smells.
It’s a valid judgement.
“In principle, since your great uncle is a disciple of the Ice Castle, Lu Rong shouldn’t have humiliated you so publicly!”
