Chapter 24: 024 Top-notch Aristocracy

An hour later, a few people carried in two large boxes.
Dong Xuan, drenched in sweat, said, “The time was too tight. I couldn’t gather enough cash. Here are eight thousand taels, and banknotes for four thousand taels. This is all my savings…”
“Fine. ”
Gu Yang did not make things difficult for him. He took the banknotes, hoisted the two large boxes, and left.
Tianshui City is a small city where all the ways to make money are monopolized by various forces. Dong Xuan is a martial artist with significant expenses, and this amount of money was enough to cripple him financially. He would have to sell many things to come up with it.
Having forked out such a large sum, he felt as if he had vented some grievance and his will to kill has diminished.
After all, Dong Xuan’s daughter and he were once husband and wife in Simulated Life. There was a bond between them.
The strike he delivered just now should have left a shadow in Dong Xuan’s mind. From now on, his martial arts would be cut off, and it would be difficult for him to progress further.
He had virtually killed the Dong Xuan’s martial arts life. That was punishment enough.
Gu Yang carried the two large wooden boxes through the city, catching everyone’s eye. However, no one dared to approach him, everyone kept their distance.
Anyone who could carry two such large boxes must be a martial artist; ordinary people naturally kept their distance.
After returning to the inn and going upstairs, he opened the system unnoticed and chose to recharge when no one was around.
[Recharge successful, current balance is 8217-4.]
Gu Yang felt a sense of security at seeing this balance. More than eight thousand taels were enough for eight simulations. With good luck, he may even be able to break through to Fifth Grade.
At that time, he would be confident in dealing with the assassins sent by the Liu family.
He returned to his room, shoved the two empty boxes into a corner, and sat by
the bed. Before he could say anything, Su Qingzhen came over with a basin of hot water, and handed him a washed towel.
Did she switch roles that fast?
Gu Yang was somewhat surprised and couldn’t help but marvel at the remarkable adaptability of humans.
Yesterday, she was still carrying the air of a lady. However, now she was serving him water willingly.
He took out the jade hairpin and put it back on her head, saying, “Returning it to its owner.”
Both Su Qingzhen and the other lady were curious how he had brought back two boxes but didn’t ask.
After Gu Yang washed his face, he said, “l will train for a while.”
Both Su Qingzhen exited the room afterwards.
[Would you like to use the Life Simulator? One use will consume 1000 points of money.]
“Yes.
[At the age of twenty-two, you have become a sixth- grade martial artist. After leaving Liu Family Village, you saved Su Qingzhen in Wangjiagou, and the next day, you killed all the people from the Liu family who pursued you.]
[Ten days later, you arrived in Tianshui City. You planned and extorted Dong Xuan, earning 12,000 taels.]
[Your act of defeating Dong Xuan with a single strike was witnessed by a member of the Lin family, Lin Zirui. He came to the inn that night, trying to woo you into joining the Lin family, which you refused.]
[Five days later, you encountered a swordsman on the road who challenged you. After three moves, you were killed on the spot, and he walked away. Died at the age of 22.]
Gu Yang was stunned after reading this.
This time, he died even faster than in the last simulation.
From where did this swordsman pop out?
He thought that after reaching the sixth grade, he would have some self-protection power. However, he still got randomly killed.
Last time, it was the people sent by the Liu family.
This time’s swordsman, who sent him?
“Could it be that Lin Zirui?”
