"Does this loquat forest belong to your ancestors or to the county?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"Of course it was left to me by my father," Duan Tai said. "I guess a few days ago a few strangers came over and said they wanted to buy my loquat forest, but they were only willing to pay ten taels of silver. Of course I refused to sell it, as it was tantamount to robbery! When the group left, one of them shouted that his brother-in-law was the new magistrate and told me to wait and see."
"So the magistrate said he wanted to take your land back?"
Wang Xiaohai immediately understood that this was a common practice in ancient society. Otherwise, how could the county magistrates support a large family with three wives and four concubines with their salaries alone?
"I've lived here since I was born. This is where I've lived my whole life. They said they'd take it, so they took it. I couldn't get enough of it, so I set fire to everything. Let's see what they can take." Duan Tai said tearfully, "I'll leave after I set this fire and live in a big city. I don't believe I won't have my own place in the world. I don't believe I can't make something of myself!"
Duan Tai is old now, and if he had to start all over again, he wondered if he could make it. It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's harder to go back to frugality. After living a comfortable and happy life, many people will lose faith in life and commit suicide because of the huge gap in their understanding of life.
In reality, if only someone could lend a helping hand, perhaps their life could be saved. But when the poor are causing trouble, no one cares; when the rich are in remote areas, only distant relatives remain. Who would help a person in dire straits? It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's hard to provide timely assistance. Wang Xiaohai sighed with emotion—life is always imperfect, never as perfect as you'd expect.
"This is for you. It's a gift from fate, and it's also compensation for your loquat money!" Wang Xiaohai threw a piece of jade to Duan Tai.
The young girl Duan Mingyu also walked over with messy hair, and it was obvious that she had been crying.
"What is this?" Duan Tai examined the jade carefully. The precious jade was gleaming faintly. "This... is a priceless treasure!"
Nonsense, if it wasn't a good thing, Wang Xiaohai would have thrown it to the dimensional store long ago. He wouldn't keep any treasure in his ring if its estimated value was no more than 10 million taels.
"Father, what kind of jade is this?" The girl has been exercising for many years and has a good figure, but it is difficult to see because she wears loose clothes.
"This piece of jade is called Mingyu, just like your name." Wang Xiaohai joked, "What a coincidence! You chose this name just to trick my Mingyu, right?"
"Where did you get this rare treasure?" Both the father and daughter of the Duan family stuttered.
This is like begging for a bowl of rice from someone in modern times, and that person throws him an aircraft carrier. Wouldn’t that be shocking?
"I'm not a native of this country, I told you that." Wang Xiaohai waved goodbye to the two of them, "Goodbye!" After saying that, he disappeared in front of them.
"Master, you are divine!" The father and daughter knelt down at the same time.
After Wang Xiaohai left, the father and daughter left the county and used all the money the family had saved to do small business in a big city. Mingyu gave them confidence, and they were not afraid of losing money when doing business, and dared to take risks. They soon made their first pot of gold, and then began to grow and develop. More than ten years later, they became famous wealthy businessmen in Jietian Kingdom. With money and resources, the young girl Duan Mingyu's strength also improved by leaps and bounds. At the age of 27, she reached the Golden Martial Realm, and at the age of 30, she became a famous female general in Jietian Kingdom. She personally killed the county magistrate who forced them to leave their hometown. At the age of 37, Yi Ran awakened successfully and became a female priest admired by thousands of people. Her reputation spread throughout the Beixing Continent. After becoming a priest, she always had a precious jade hanging around her neck. Later generations speculated that it was related to her name, and some speculated that she was born with a precious jade and was born strong. There are many different opinions, and each version is different. Of course, this is just a later story and there is no need to say more.
Back to the present moment, Wang Xiaohai kept flying towards the peak until he was above the clouds.
The air above the clouds is thinner than that on the ground, and the temperature is colder than that below the clouds, making it unsuitable for human life. The imperial palace connecting to heaven dared not be built in the clouds, let alone on the clouds.
Wang Xiaohai continued to fly for another 500 kilometers above the clouds, and actually saw a palace built on the top of Jietian Peak!
He flew over immediately.
As they approached the palace at the top of the mountain, a man stood in front of the palace gate and called out to Wang Xiaohai, "Sir, please stay. This is the third team's law enforcement hall. Non-law enforcement personnel are not allowed to enter."
"Who are you?" Wang Xiaohai asked while stopping in the air.
Now that he has obtained the perfect martial arts secrets, Wang Xiaohai's desire for money is not so strong. If he is still short of some money, he will definitely go to the Heavenly Palace to earn some money before leaving!
"I'm Sun Chunbai, a member of the third team's law enforcement team." This man looked to be close to forty years old, but his actual age was over two hundred.
"Why don't you let people in? Are you plotting something bad in there? You must not be a good person." Wang Xiaohai directly accused the third law enforcement team of doing something bad.
Wang Xiaohai was not wearing the inspector's badge, so he was conducting a secret operation and a sting operation, which is called a plainclothes operation.
"Which country's tribute are you from?" Sun Chunbai shouted angrily, "Watch your mouth! We'll cancel your current tribute and banish you to a small tribal nation to be a tribute!"
"Oh? It seems that you often threaten the offerings like this, and then extort a sum of money from them, putting it in your own pockets to line your own pockets." Wang Xiaohai's body hovered in the air, with an expression of sudden realization on his face.
Sun Chunbai felt that this priest had gone crazy. No priest had ever dared to speak to law enforcement officers like that, at least he had never seen such a thing in his long life!
"I think you have lost your will. I will arrest you and bring you to the palace to be punished!" Law enforcement officer Sun Chunbai shouted and flew into the sky to confront Wang Xiaohai.
"Hey, are you really guilty of corruption and extortion, and are you angry and embarrassed after being exposed by me?" Wang Xiaohai shouted to Sun Chunbai, a law enforcement officer who was about ten meters in front of him.
