Chapter 614 (1/2)

Nine Dugu Swords (3)

Secondly, perception. This is hard to explain but one needs to let people perceive the sword and understand it.

To let people see the skills that aren't there is one of the strongest skills one could have.

Because of this, Ye Lang spent the past few days on his carriage mastering this skill. He had time to spare and he didn’t want to waste it.

After the conversation with Ye Sheng, Ye Lang gave some money to the owner of the hotel and told them to look after him. He sent someone else to check on them in case they were careless while handling Ye Sheng’s funeral. That way, he would sue them for negligence.

Ye Lang honestly had no reason to worry. The owner would definitely complete the tasks he wanted because Ye Lang gave them a hefty sum of cash before he left. They would have much to spare after handling everything he wanted.

The owner knew that it wouldn’t be smart to take the money and run. If Ye Lang could dump so much money in such a short amount of time, he was clearly someone powerful and not to be messed with.

...

Seven days later, an old shabby carriage arrived at the city gates of the Ai La Empire. It was the kind of carriage that made the guards feel bad about collecting the entry tax.

That was the carriage Ye Lang was in. If he had to act poor, he had to go all the way.

He paid extra to the coachman and sent him back so that one would know how much Ye Lang actually paid him.

Ye Lang requested the carriage to stop near the gates. He thanked the coachman and the carriage left. All this was to show that he was a poor man and this was the way he came to the empire.

This would lead people to think that he hitchhiked his way here.

Ye Lang was dressed in coarse cloth from head to toe. Although there was no damage, the clothes were obviously worn in. At this waist hung an old sword, which seemed like the most valuable item on him.

He looked really poor!!

Those that saw him thought that he was another one of those young men that came here to try their luck and muddle along in the capital. Every year there were many that visited the capital for that very reason.

“Sir…” Ye Lang ignored their judging gazes and prepared to enter the city. Naturally, he had to pass by the guards standing before him.

“Go, go! Just pay ten coppers and enter!” said the guard impatiently. They had asked him to pay the minimum amount to enter the city.

People begging the guards to let them enter was an everyday occurrence here. The guards were tired of listening to begging so when they saw people like Ye Lang they would normally ask for the minimum amount from them.

Ten coppers was a reasonable amount for most people!

“Ten coppers?” said Ye Lang as he drugged out coins from his pocket and passed it to the guard.

Ye Lang originally didn’t plan to bring cash with him but he couldn’t use his space ring here. If he did, people would find out he wasn’t an ordinary man and that would bring trouble.
