Chapter 154 (2/2)
He returned to the stele and gave the old man guarding the stele a bundle containing the three bandit heads. He said, ”Here, the mission is partially completed.”
When the old man saw Xiang Shaoyun return, he thought Xiang Shaoyun was about to give up on the mission. But when he opened the bundle and saw the three heads within, he was completely shocked.
”This...this is Li Hao the Seven Sabers from the Redwolf Bandits! And the other two are also Transformation Realm bandits!” the old man cried out in alarm.
His alarmed shout attracted the attention of the people around them. Some of the people were here to issue new missions, some were here to accept new missions, and some were only pa.s.sing by. They all gathered around the stele, creating a small uproar in the area.
”This is Li Hao the Seven Sabers? H-he's dead?”
”Oh s.h.i.+t, I just noticed that someone had accepted the Redwolf Bandit bounty. Is this young man the one who had accepted the bounty?”
”All three of them were famous bandits. They were at least Transformation Realm experts, and they had killed many people in the past. And now, they're dead. Haha, what good news! What a splendid death!”
”The rewards for these three are worth at least 100 low-grade spirit crystals. Who is this young man? He is so powerful!”
...
The people were all looking at Xiang Shaoyun curiously, traces of admiration apparent in their eyes. For this particular Redwolf Bandits bounty, one could claim part of the reward before eliminating the entire bandit group. So long as one managed to kill the known leaders of the bandit group, one would be rewarded.
Xiang Shaoyun was submitting the three heads to prove his strength and to reclaim the deposit he had made when accepting the bounty.
”Senior, can I get the reward?” Xiang Shaoyun asked, not willing to stay there to be gawked at by so many people.
”Sure, sure you can. Well done, young man!” praised the old man in excitement.
Soon, the old man gave Xiang Shaoyun 500 low-grade spirit crystals. This was a wealth capable of inviting envious eyes. After all, in the eyes of an ordinary person, this was a large sum of wealth.
After accepting the spirit crystals, Xiang Shaoyun was about to leave and grab a meal at a random restaurant before heading to bed. He would continue his hunt another day. But when he was about to leave, the old man called out at him, ”Young brother, are you looking for a place to rest?”
Xiang Shaoyun nodded. ”Yes. I'm kind of tired, so I'll continue another day.”
”Please come with me, then. Allow me to arrange a fine dwelling for a young hero like you,” the old man offered.
Xiang Shaoyun hesitated slightly before going along with the old man. After a short while, he found that he had arrived at the Green Bamboo Academy.
So he's someone from the Green Bamboo Academy! Xiang Shaoyun thought to himself.
”I am an elder of the Green Bamboo Academy, Luo Yongcheng,” the old man finally introduced himself.
”It's my pleasure to meet you,” Xiang Shaoyun cupped his hands and greeted.
”Young brother, the Green Bamboo Academy will be the best place you can rest in town,” said Luo Yongcheng.
