Chapter 1607 - The miserable Guo Clan (2/2)
“So that’s the case.”
The Tao Clan might not usually care about the life or death of those people, but once it was an affront to them, those people would definitely die.
That was why the Tao Clan usually wouldn’t bother with clans trying to kill each other. However, once they were there to pay tribute, it had to do with the Tao Clan.
It’s no wonder they were so daring as to journey this way.
“Then what will you do on the route back?”
“This time when we go to pay tribute, it will take some time. The clansmen will also go after a period of time. We just have to link up when the time comes. If we go together now, accommodation fees will be a huge problem.” Guo Yin Da said a little sheepishly.
Sima You Yue was stunned. She thought that the Guo Clan’s circumstances weren’t bad. She didn’t think that they would actually be poor to this degree. Even accommodation fees were a problem.
However, once Tao Yi Xuan rose again, based on them risking everything for him back at Rabbit Ear Mountain, the lives of the Guo Clan wouldn’t be difficult anymore.
Just as they said, on the way there, as long as there was anyone who plotted against them, Guo Yin Da would say that they were going to the Tao Clan to pay tribute and those people really wouldn’t act against them and allow them to pass smoothly.
After slightly less than half a month had passed, they arrived in Phoenix City. Sima You Yue didn’t think that it was so close by. It was no wonder they didn’t want to take a teleportation array.
Of course, she wouldn’t expose the fact that the reason they didn’t want to use the teleportation array was to save money.
“Although the Lost Place isn’t that big, the relationship between the four large cities isn’t great. In order to prevent the other places from sending men to create trouble, they conduct strict interrogations. However, we won’t get it. Just follow us when the time comes.” Guo Yin Da told Sima You Yue.
“Alright.”
When they arrived outside the city, she followed Guo Yin Da closely, but she was still dragged in after all.
“Old Guo, who is this?” The guard had a pretty decent relationship with Guo Yin Da but he still stopped them.
“This is a friend I made outside.” Guo Yin Da said with a smile, “You know this as well, when we went outside, we got to know her. She’s coming in this time because of some things to do.”
“Someone from outside?” The guard furrowed his eyebrows lightly, “Old Guo, do you not know that the situation has been tense recently? Those from the Crimson Pearl Convention are not able to enter Phoenix City.”
“Why?” Guo Yin Da asked curiously.
“I don’t know. Orders from above.” The guard felt it was weird as well, but they wouldn’t probe.
“If it’s about the Crimson Pearl Convention, you don’t have to worry. She’s here to look for me and wants to look at the herbs that we only have here. She’s not here to participate in the Crimson Pearl Convention.” Guo Yin Da explained.
“Really?” The guard didn’t really believe him.
“Really. Big Brother, you’ve never seen someone come to participate in the Crimson Pearl Convention all by themselves, right?” Sima You Yue said with a smile.
The guard thought about it and agreed. Those people usually came in a huge group and there really wasn’t anyone who would participate in the Crimson Pearl Convention on their own.
He waved at them and said, “Old Hao, we can still trust in your Guo Clansmen. You may enter.”
“Alright, thank you for your trust. We won’t be heading back immediately. Let’s go to the wine shop for a drink.” Guo Yin Da said.
“Alright! You’re the one who said it!”
“No problem!”
Just like this, Guo Yin Da smoothly led her through the gates into Phoenix City. As for the huge incident that would happen later on, only then would this guard know how big of a mistake his negligence caused him. It was a good thing that nobody had noticed that he was the one on duty that day.
They entered the city and went to a place they lived before. They saw a very small inn, but it still looked very clean.
The Guo Clan… was really in a miserable state!
