Chapter 768 - Public Bathhouse (1/2)
Hearing the guard's words, Su Yang asked, ”Where's the Ancestral Pavilion? If you don't mind, can one of you take me there?”
Su Yang retrieved a handful of spirit stones and showed it to the guards there.
*Gulp*
The guards swallowed nervously when they saw the spirit stones, and they turned to look at each other with weird looks on their faces.
”I'll take you there, Young Master!”
”No! Let me take you there, my little ancestor!”
”Please! I am extremely tight on money right now! I really need those spirit stones!”
”I also need to feed my family!”
The guards quickly began fighting over each other for the opportunity to earn so many spirit stones in such an easy manner. Hell, Su Yang's request was so easy and simple to achieve that he was practically giving them free money!
However, while the guards fought each other, someone approached Su Yang from behind and tugged his robes.
”Hmm?”
Su Yang turned around to see a little girl who seemed to be only around 10 years old grasping his robes, and she was wearing ragged clothes and holding a dirty cup in her hands.
”Big brother, I can bring you to the Ancestral Pavilion, and I will only accept one of those spirit stones from you,” she said to him with a pleading gaze.
”Eh?”
The guards immediately stopped fighting when they saw this, and they even felt a little shameful a few moments later.
”Okay. If you can bring me to the Ancestral Pavilion, I will give you a spirit stone.” Su Yang nodded at the little girl with a handsome smile on his face.
He then turned to look at the guards and said, ”As you can see, I already have someone helping me. However, since you guys were so eager to help me, I'll give you these. Make sure to share them evenly with each other.”
Su Yang tossed the spirit stones at them, and the guards immediately went to catch them.
”Let's go, little girl.” Su Yang said to her.
The little girl nodded and began leading him into the city.
However, before they could walk very far, Su Yang said to her, ”Why don't we take a small detour? I am someone who likes cleanliness, and when I see a girl— no matter who they are— in such a rough appearance, my heart becomes uncomfortable.”
The little girl looked at her own appearance before lowering her head in a dejected manner, ”I am sorry, big brother, but I don't have anything else…”
”I know, that's why we are going to take a detour. Do you know any places where you can clean your body?” Su Yang asked her.
The little girl nodded and said, ”There's a public bathhouse not too far away.”
”Good, then let's go there now.”
”But I need money to go there and I don't have any,” she continued.
