However, Chu Liang's worries were unnecessary. Di Nvfeng's anger did not last long, as a green bird flew over and landed on the tower of her palace.
It was the green bird from the Boundless Palace of Tongtian Peak. Every time it came, it meant that the Boundless Palace had summoned the heads of all the peaks for an important matter.
It was not yet time for the peak masters' meeting, so the sudden meeting was probably related to the "return of the demon gods" incident.
Chu Liang had already reported this news when he returned to the mountain, but it had not yet been publicized and the situation was not urgent. Now that everyone knew about it, the Shu Mountain Sect naturally needed to come up with a corresponding response.
Since the loss of the Demon-Sealing Tower, the Shu Mountain Sect had been declining, and the world no longer relied on them to save the world. However, from top to bottom, the Shu Mountain Sect still insisted on making the protection of the human world their top priority, and this had not wavered for thousands of years.
This was the responsibility of the old-school immortal sect.
But even if the sky were to fall, someone would still be there to hold it up. The wind and clouds were currently gathering at the top, and Chu Liang would not waste his energy thinking about things that he could not control.
Seeing that it was almost noon, he headed to Red Cotton Peak.
He practiced cultivation and made money at the same time.
As the saying goes, you have to use both hands, and use them well.
Red Cotton Peak was bustling. As soon as Chu Liang arrived, someone with sharp eyes recognized him as the person who sold fruit tea yesterday.
Immediately, someone called out, "Junior Brother, do you have a lot of fruit tea today? I queued for half a day yesterday and didn't get any."
"Don't worry." Chu Liang smiled and replied, "Not a lot."
Support us at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
The person was taken aback, feeling that his smile and words seemed a bit out of place, and quickly followed him.
Chu Liang still went to the same spot as yesterday, spread out a small mat, and put up a sign.
"The first cup of fruit tea in spring."
Immediately, several people who didn't get a chance yesterday, driven by curiosity, lined up behind him.
In fact, there weren't many people who had queued up yesterday and were still here today, but human nature was like this. When they saw a sudden queue forming here, they would immediately be curious about what he was selling. After all, this scene was not common in Red Cotton City.
Then someone would explain it to them, with Immortal Jiang's smile.
Soon, new people joined the queue for fruit tea.
The thirty-odd cans of fruit tea he made today were quickly sold out. There were still a few people left behind, grumbling.
Chu Liang could only stand up and bow, "I'm sorry, please come early tomorrow."
Someone came up and asked, "Junior Brother, I'll give you double the money. Can you sell it directly to me next time without queuing?"
"No." Chu Liang smiled and shook his head.If the rules established are destroyed by a few sword coins, then the brand style will be ruined.
It's not worth losing the small for the big.
However, when Chu Liang was packing up his stall to leave today, something unexpected happened.
...
Several figures approached and surrounded Chu Liang.
"Hmm?" He looked up and saw a tall young disciple leading the group, with an unfriendly expression and a fake smile on his face.
These people were embroidered with the mark of crossed swords on their clothes, representing the Law Enforcement Hall.
Were they disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall?
The Law Enforcement Hall was in charge of the laws of Shu Mountain, and disciples were stationed in Hongmian City for patrols.
But he had always been honest and didn't know why they were coming to him.
"Young brother, I've been watching you for two days." The young disciple leading the group looked at Chu Liang. "You've been quite popular these past two days, haven't you?"
Chu Liang calmly replied, "Just normal stall selling."
"This is not normal stall selling. You haven't paid the stall fee." The young disciple laughed.
"Stall fee?" Chu Liang frowned. "Do we need to pay a stall fee in Hongmian City?"
"People like them don't need to, but for someone like you who organized a queue and occupied a large area, disrupting the order of Hongmian City, you need to report and pay the stall fee in advance." The young disciple said sternly.
"Is that so?" Chu Liang pondered.
"What, do you doubt the Law Enforcement Hall?" The young disciple squinted.
Chu Liang looked around. Being able to lead the Law Enforcement Hall, he should have a Golden Elixir cultivation level, and the people behind him were probably similar to him, in the middle of the Divine Intention Realm.
And the Law Enforcement Hall had the power to punish lawbreakers at any time.
"No, I'm just new here and may not be familiar with the rules." Chu Liang smiled softly. "How much is the stall fee?"
"The stall fee is normally ten percent." The young disciple sneered and said, "But you need to pay a penalty for paying after the fact. You've sold how many sword coins these past few days? Hand them over and don't even think about hiding any."
Chu Liang nodded and said calmly, "I've sold forty-nine sword coins these past few days."
Under the slightly cold gaze of the young disciple, Chu Liang took out fifty sword coins and handed them over. "Let's round it up to fifty. Senior brother, you can count them."
Not only did he not hide anything, he even paid more to round it up."This..." The young disciple hesitated when he received the sword currency.
Chu Liang casually asked, "Senior Brother, I feel like I've seen you before. Have we met?"
"Stop the small talk. If you come again in the future, you still have to pay the booth fee." The young disciple glanced at him and coldly said.
"I know, but I really think I've seen you before." Chu Liang scratched his head. "Which peak are you from? We seem to have done a mission together."
"I'm from Cloud Remote Peak." The young disciple put away the sword currency. "I haven't seen you before."
"Wang Senior Brother from Cloud Remote Peak!" Chu Liang slapped his forehead. "We did a mission together. I knew I couldn't be wrong."
"Heh, my surname is Zhang." The young disciple looked at Chu Liang as if he were an idiot.
"Maybe I mistook you for someone else." Chu Liang smiled and politely waved his hand before leaving.
After he left, the young disciple sneered, "Tsk, this kid is really stupid. I should have asked for more. I didn't know he would give in so easily."
"Senior Brother Zhang, is this really okay?" Another disciple from the same Law Enforcement Hall hesitated. "Isn't this using our name to cheat money?"
"Oh, this kid has a grudge against my younger brother, so I targeted him. What's wrong with asking him for a few sword currencies? We usually enforce the law fairly. Do you see any bias in me?" Zhang Senior Brother shrugged and walked away alone.
There were three people waiting for him there, including Shang Ziliang with bandages all over his body and his followers.
"Senior Brother Zhang, why did you just ask him for a few sword currencies?" Shang Ziliang was anxious. "Didn't we plan to beat him up and make him leave Red Cotton City?"
"I thought he would resist, so I would have a reason to deal with him." Zhang Senior Brother shrugged. "Who knew this kid would be so foolish and just give me the money. How could I make a move in front of so many people?"
"Ah!" Shang Ziliang was frustrated.
Last time, he and two of his younger brothers plotted against Chu Liang on Pagoda Peak, but they were smashed into the ground by a giant lizard that fell from the sky, leaving them seriously injured.
If it weren't for his father, the peak master, who healed them, they might have lost their lives. Yesterday, he came to Red Cotton City to take a breath of fresh air and unexpectedly saw that hateful Chu Liang again.
If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.In his heart, he secretly blamed all the pain on Chu Liang, feeling that he was a thorn in his side. Especially when he saw Jiang Yuebai walk over and give Chu Liang a gentle smile, it set his fruit tea on fire...
That was Jiang Xianzi, after all.
A character that Shang Ziliang would not even dare to dream of in ordinary times.
If Jiang Xianzi smiled at me, would I still compete with others for Xu Ziqing?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
With all kinds of complex emotions intertwined, Shang Ziliang looked at Chu Liang, whose business was booming, as if he had seen a mortal enemy who had killed his father.
He couldn't wait to rush up and punch him.
However, with his current state of having to lean against the wall to walk, he naturally couldn't take revenge. Coincidentally, the disciple in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall in Hongmian City these days was his close senior brother from Cloud Remote Peak, and they had a good relationship.
So Shang Ziliang found Senior Brother Zhang and asked him to help teach Chu Liang a lesson. With the convenience of the Law Enforcement Hall's identity, they originally planned to find fault with him and teach him a lesson.
Who would have thought that Chu Liang would be so cooperative?
Not only did he not resist, but he even seemed to welcome it.
"Don't worry." Senior Brother Zhang smiled and said, "As long as he comes again tomorrow, I will use other means to deal with him. Even if he is stupid, he should have a temper every now and then, right? As long as he dares to resist, I can immediately teach him a lesson for you. If he doesn't resist, I'll make it so that he doesn't dare to come to Hongmian City again."
"That's great." Shang Ziliang nodded hatefully.
"But..." Follower A twisted his bandage-covered neck, struggling to speak, "I always feel that it's not that simple...he's too cooperative!"
"What's not simple about it? Isn't he just a fool?" Senior Brother Zhang laughed, "He even waved goodbye to me."
Follower A looked at Follower B, "What do you think?"
Follower B looked up at the sky and suddenly said, "I think we should go eat something good."
