A lonely and thin figure left a long trail of footprints in the snowy landscape, which made Yan Jing feel a little guilty.

  Long Ao Tian, why did he have to let Zhang Ye go? She knew that previously, she had been subjected to a lot of anger from Zhang Ye. The Snow Crystal City was turned upside down by Zhang Ye, and when Yan Jing decided to let him go, there was still a hint of schadenfreude in her heart. But at this moment, the schadenfreude was gone, replaced by a few parts of guilt.

  Zhang Ye's back seemed to hold many stories of the past, and Yan Xing vaguely felt that maybe he wasn't having an easy time either, so she sort of sympathized with him.

  In general, Zhang Ye did not like flying.

  He walked steadily on the icy and snowy ground, but he walked very fast, with quick steps, and in the end, he almost left no footprints in the snow wherever he went.

  It took Zhang Ye four days to travel thousands of miles to Lan Yun Fort.

  A glittering snow crystal castle stands on a vast white plain.

  Unlike Snow Crystal City's steepness, Lan Yun Fortress appears majestic.

  Currently in Jialan Realm, entering any city requires paying an entrance fee. Except for Xuejing City which was reformed by Zhang Ye.

  However, there is an exception: if people from other forces come on official business, they don't have to pay.

  At the city gate, Zhang Ye was stopped by four disciples who demanded a toll for entering the city.

  Zhang Ye took out the jade token of Xuejing City and said, "I have been ordered to come to Lanyun Fortress on official business."

  "Hahaha..." The four of them burst out laughing as if they had seen something extremely funny.

  "Hahaha." Zhang Ye also burst out laughing.

  “？”

  The four of them looked at each other for a moment, and then one of them asked, "What are you laughing at?"

  "Uh, nothing, seeing you guys laugh, I'll just laugh along with you, it's quite fun."

  The four of them didn't say much either. Another one sneered and said, "Alright, I've never heard of Snow Crystal City, who has?"

  He looked at the other three people.

  "Does Snow Crystal count as a city?"

  Hehe~

  Several people burst out laughing again.

  Zhang Ye was puzzled and thought to himself, "Are these guys sick or something? They're always laughing."

  The last few people reached a consensus and said, "We haven't heard of Snow Crystal, so it doesn't count as your official business. You need to pay the entry fee to enter the city, otherwise go around."

  "Whatever, I have plenty of money." Zhang Ye directly returned four Revival Pills.

  The elixir from his hand was so powerful that it directly knocked the four guys' mouths bloody.

  "No need to look anymore, consider it medical expenses." Zhang Ye walked away with his hands behind his back, looking like a villain.

  The four guys covered their mouths which were bleeding, feeling both depressed and scared, but they had also earned a considerable amount of tips.

  After inquiring about the location of the Lord's manor within the city, Zhang Ye quickly headed there.

  Arriving at the heart of the place, it was as if there was a city within a city. At the gate of a small castle, two attendants blocked Zhang Ye's path once again.

  After Zhang Ye handed over the jade token, that guy didn't say much either. He sized up Zhang Ye a few times, threw down a sentence "wait for it", and then walked into the inner city.

  Thus, Zhang Ye braved the wind and snow outside for a whole day.

  The heavy snowfall was almost piling up into a snowman. Still, no one came.

  Zhang Ye thought that Master Bao must be very busy, so he just patiently drank his wine, being careful not to cause any trouble for Yan Qing.

  Almost every time he made trouble, he would almost make Yan Jing faint from anger. Zhang Ye felt that this couldn't go on like this either.

  "Vulgar..."

  Zhang Ye looked like a commoner drinking alcohol, and the two waiting attendants cursed under their breath.

  "No wonder, that old guy Ba Sheng has been coming year after year and suffered humiliation every time. This time he didn't dare to come, so he sent a little fool to replace him." said one of the disciples on duty.

  Zhang Ye was about to take the two bundles of grass back when the disciple who had kept him waiting all day finally came out and said coldly, "Follow me, the castle master is now free to see you."

  Zhang Ye had no choice but to abandon his extra thoughts and followed behind this disciple, heading towards the inner city.

  Through several layers of buildings that seemed like ice sculptures, I finally entered a rather majestic great hall.

  In the great hall sat a beautiful woman wrapped in a furry bear skin cloak.

  On both sides, eight young men with different appearances were lined up, and surprisingly, they were all handsome guys.

  "?" Zhang Ye couldn't help but be taken aback, thinking to himself that the Blue Boundary seemed to have quite a few beautiful female castle owners and manor owners.

  "Kneel down." The eight handsome men standing in two rows on either side shouted in unison.

  "Why?" Zhang Ye asked, "I see my lord's castle doesn't kneel."

  "How bold!" the eight handsome men shouted in unison.

  However, at this time, Fang's woman had a bright color in her eyes, looked at Zhang Ye several more times, and waved her hand, saying, "Forget it. People from small places, not being polite is normal."

  "Great Lord is wise!" This time, the voices of the eight guys were even louder. As if they had been specially trained to shout together here.

  She paused for a moment, then said, "Speak up, you're representing Snow Crystal City. What brings you here?"

  It seems that the people around think that Lord Bao's attitude is too ambiguous and not majestic enough, so the eight handsome men shouted in unison, "Speak quickly! What brings you to see Lord Bao?"

  This neat slogan, can't help but make Zhang Ye's ears dizzy.

  Zhang Ye shook his head and said, "Our city master sent me here to remind you that you owe us."

  "Boldly!" The eight of them shouted in unison, "Little Snow Crystal City, which has been under our protection and care for many years, who owes whom? Today you make it clear!"

  "Keep your voice down, don't scare the guests." The woman waved her hand and asked Zhang Ye again, "What did you just say? Does our Lan Yun Castle owe Snow Crystal City? Is that how it's calculated?"

  Zhang Ye nodded, "Our city lord said so, it's calculated this way. Every year, Xuejing City sends over a portion of the originally tense herbs and minerals, but has never received any returns."

  The good-looking woman on the side thought for a moment and then smiled and nodded, "That's right, there is such a thing."

  Zhang Ye immediately became excited, "Yes yes, it's good, our city master said so, you guys still haven't come out yet, no big deal, just let me remind you once, you owe us, not paying back today doesn't mean you'll never pay back."

  "What did you just say!" The woman's face turned cold at once. "Very few people dare to speak to me, Chen Xiaoyun, like that."

  "I said you owe us, and it's just a matter of time before you pay us back." Zhang Ye added.

  "It's also time to settle the account carefully." Chen Xiaoyun nodded coldly.

  She gave a glance and immediately a handsome man handed over an abacus made of jade.

  At the moment, Chen Xiaoyun was like an accountant, ticking away with the jade abacus, saying, "In recent years, our Lan Yun Fort has been protecting other small cities, and we usually charge 600,000 yuan per year. The materials you sent over are worth 200,000 yuan per year..."

  Tick-tock, she moved her clean and beautiful hands left and right, playing with the abacus while muttering to herself, something about how every year people come to occupy her precious time, and it's also charged.

  The eight handsome men around him suddenly shouted in unison, "Our boss charges by the hour!"

  This again gave Zhang Ye a fright.
