The troubles brought by the rich young master

In the mountain forest, Su Ming held the heaven-destroying whip in his hand, using it as a cane, while Lin Zhaodi stood by his side, carefully supporting him.

If those in the Outer Void who knew their stuff were to see this scene, their eyeballs would likely pop out.

A Magic Treasure of the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm, crafted from the destiny of a world as material, was actually being used as a cane.

Lin Zhaodi, standing beside him, even reached out and tapped the "cane" to make sure it was sturdy.

"Brother Su, are you really sure it's okay to walk in this direction?"

Lin Zhaodi's tone was filled with worry; in her understanding, the mountain forest was always lurking with all sorts of dangers.

She had never walked this path before and had no idea what might happen.

From her perspective, she and Su Ming were essentially a young child paired with a sickly, blind patient.

For such a pair to walk out of the mountain forest was almost impossible.

"Don't worry, if we walk in this direction, we will definitely be able to leave the forest." Su Ming appeared confident.

After all, he had already had Shen Ming scout the path ahead, so he knew what lay before them.

After passing through this forest, there was a town.

Although he was unsure of the situation inside the town, it was at least much better than staying in the forest.

Over these past few days, he had refined and transferred most of the overflowing Star Power, and had recovered a small amount of spiritual power.

With that, Su Ming had regained partial control over the heaven-reaching pagoda; at the very least, taking supplies from within it at will was no longer an issue.

In the world of Cultivators, Spirit Stones were absolute hard currency, and Spirit Stones were the one thing he was not lacking.

Once they reached the town, finding a place to stay for a while would not be a problem at all.

Walking forward for another hour, the two finally emerged from the mountain forest, and when Lin Zhaodi saw the outline of the town in the distance, a smile appeared on her small face.

"Brother Su! There's a town up ahead!"

"Is that so? Then let's hurry over."

As the two were heading toward the town, a burst of hurried hoofbeats suddenly came from behind them.

As a carriage whistled past them, a large amount of dust and smoke covered the two.

Shen Ming saw this scene and was about to lash out on the spot, but fortunately, Su Ming held it back in time.

At this distance, if he let Shen Ming act, the Cultivators in the small town ahead would likely react.

"Ptui, ptui, ptui! This person is so rude. Brother Su, are you alright?" Lin Zhaodi brushed the dust off her body and looked at Su Ming with a worried face.

After the carriage passed them, it quickly came to a stop, and then a gorgeously dressed Young Master stepped down from it.

"My apologies to you both. My servant was driving too recklessly just now. Neither of you were hurt, were you?"

"Look at us—do we look like we're alright?" Lin Zhaodi glared at him.

"I am truly sorry..." The Young Master apologized sincerely again. "I see that you both are headed into the city as well; why don't I give you both a ride?"

Although the outline of the town could be seen from here, it was still quite a distance away, and getting on the carriage would certainly save some effort.

Children are always curious about new things, and since she had never ridden in a carriage before, she naturally wanted to try.

Moreover, having walked the whole way, Lin Zhaodi was somewhat tired.

However, just as she was about to speak, Su Ming answered first: "Many thanks for your concern, brother. My little sister and I are not hurt."

"As for entering the city, we will just continue walking slowly. We won't trouble you."

Although Lin Zhaodi didn't understand why Su Ming said that, out of her absolute trust in him, she didn't say anything more.

However, the Young Master appeared to be extremely sincere.

"Since you two do not intend to get on the carriage, I will not insist. Here is a bag of Spirit Stones; please accept it as my compensation."

Seeing the other party hand over a bag of Spirit Stones, a look of longing appeared in Lin Zhaodi's eyes.

She had almost lost her life back then just to trade for a few Spirit Stones from the village chief.

But the bag in front of her, filled with Spirit Stones, looked heavy; it was clear at a glance that it contained a great many.

This time, Su Ming did not refuse, but instead let Lin Zhaodi take the Spirit Stones.

Seeing the two accept the Spirit Stones, the Young Master breathed a sigh of relief, then returned to his carriage and drove off.

At the same time, Su Ming heard the System's notification.

【Host has altered the destiny trajectory of the protagonist of destiny, gaining 50,000 destiny points.】

"So it really is like this..." Su Ming sighed inwardly.

If there was a Sword Cultivator Senior Brother, then there must also be a wealthy Young Master who was enthusiastic, rich, and kind-hearted, right?

Shen Ming had just probed the other party's cultivation, which was solidly at the Peak Nirvana Realm.

How could such a Cultivator have nothing better to do than take an extra look at two ordinary people? And even go out of his way to get down, apologize, and invite them to ride?

Look at that crown prince of the Beast Taming Sect.

That was the attitude of most Cultivators toward ordinary people.

Almost at the moment the other party stopped the carriage, Su Ming had made his assessment.

As for the Spirit Stones in the bag, Lin Zhaodi was counting them at the moment.

"87, 88... 102!"

"Brother Su, there are 102 Spirit Stones here! Does this mean we won't have to worry about food and drink in the future?!"

Listening to Lin Zhaodi's excited shouting, Su Ming reached out and rubbed her head.

"We are still quite far from not having to worry about food and drink, but it won't be a problem for us to live comfortably for a year."

"Hold onto this bag tightly. If you lose it, we'll be left with nothing but thin air to drink once we enter the city."

Hearing this, Lin Zhaodi was startled and quickly tucked the bag into her bosom, terrified of losing it.

And with her free hand, she continued to tug tightly on Su Ming.

"Let's go."

The two walked all the way to the entrance of the town, where the city guards were counting the pedestrians wanting to enter or leave the town.

Upon seeing the strange pair of Su Ming and Lin Zhaodi, a look of disdain appeared on his face.

"The city entry fee is five Spirit Stones per person. If you can't pay, get moving; don't hold up my work."

Although this person had a foul mouth, he didn't make things any more difficult for the two.

But when Lin Zhaodi heard this, she didn't look very happy.

Ten Spirit Stones for the two of them, taking away a full tenth—how could she be happy about that?

But in order to enter the city, she had no choice but to obediently take out the Spirit Stones.

So, she took out the bag filled with Spirit Stones and began to count them slowly.

However, when the city guard saw the style of the Spirit Stone bag, his expression changed immediately.

It was because there was a conspicuous symbol on the Spirit Stone bag.

In the entire city, only one Family dared to use this symbol—the Liu Family.

That was the number one Family in the city; even the City Lord had to give them some face.

How could a Liu Family Spirit Stone bag appear on such destitute people?

Coupled with the fact that the Young Master of the Liu Family had just entered the city, an answer was already on the tip of his mind.

The two people in front of him had stolen the Liu Family Young Master's Spirit Stone bag!

He snatched the Spirit Stone bag from Lin Zhaodi's hand and then said viciously: "Good for you two little thieves, to actually be so bold as to steal from the Liu Family Young Master!"
