Several winged horse beasts stood side by side, each with a coachman in front of it, who was the owner of the beast chariot.
They raise the winged beasts from foals to adulthood, then use them to pull carts to make money.
The rickshaw drivers were clearly acquaintances; when Lin Jingge was being swindled by one of the drivers, none of the nearby people stepped forward to warn her, they simply watched. Clearly, this wasn't the first time something like this had happened.
Seeing the driver's somewhat unpleasant expression, everyone looked on as if they were watching a joke unfold.
His clumsy price increase only fooled some out-of-towners or young ladies and gentlemen from wealthy families who didn't care about those spirit stones.
"Tell me, how many spirit stones will it cost to go to the South City?" Lin Jingge asked, pointing to the other coachman closest to her.
The coachman glanced at Lin Jingge, then at the unpleasant expression on the face of the previous coachman, and then grinned.
"A trip to the South City will only cost ten low-grade spirit stones," he said, completely ignoring the unpleasant expression on the other person's face.
"I..." Upon hearing this, the driver who had been overcharging looked even more flustered. He opened his mouth as if to explain something, but in the end, he couldn't say anything at all.
Faced with the facts, what could he say? That he could tell they were outsiders and deliberately overcharged them?
"What the hell?! This is outrageous! How many times has it increased?!" Xiao Shi exclaimed angrily.
Even the cat has never been this rip-off before!
"Ten low-grade spirit stones?" Lin Jingge murmured, then turned to look at the person who was asking for an exorbitant price: "Why does he only charge ten low-grade spirit stones, while you want two mid-grade spirit stones? Is there something different about your carriage?"
Lin Jingge gave a forced smile to the coachman whose face had turned pale instantly.
The Great Spirit Master's aura swept over the coachman, almost suffocating him.
This imposing aura shocked everyone.
"He's actually a Grand Spirit Master!"
"Such a young Grand Spirit Master, he'd be a genius anywhere!"
The surrounding drivers were talking amongst themselves.
It wasn't just that Lin Jingge was a Grand Spirit Master that shocked them; what shocked them was Lin Jingge's age.
Just by looking at Lin Jingge, you can tell that she is under twenty.
Some were shocked, while others gloated.
Many people have long been disgusted by the rickshaw drivers who overcharge, but they are not the ones being ripped off. No one has been willing to stand up for them, and they can only watch others make money with envy.
But this time, they've met their match!
This is absolutely gratifying.
The driver, who had been demanding exorbitant prices, was so subdued that his legs were trembling, and he was about to kneel down.
He wanted to explain himself or say something nice, but Lin Jingge suppressed him with her powerful aura, rendering him speechless.
Just as the coachman was about to give up and almost knelt down before Lin Jingge, a dazzling, magical beast-shaped carriage stopped by the roadside.
This beast-drawn carriage was clearly extraordinary, completely different from the beast-drawn carriages outside the town, completely outclassing the beast-drawn carriages pulled by these winged horse beasts.
“Miss, we should return to the city as soon as possible today, you…” The steward, who was driving the carriage, said a word of advice when the other party got off the beast carriage.
He wanted her to mind her own business and get back as soon as possible, but before he could finish his sentence, his mistress silenced him with a gesture.
Su Rufei stepped forward and with a wave of her small hand, instantly removed the oppressive force that Lin Jingge had exerted on the coachman.
Lin Jingge was slightly surprised to see that the person who came was the woman she had met yesterday.
As a fellow Great Spirit Master, and even more advanced than her, removing the pressure was a piece of cake for Su Ru.
"I thought Elder Qin had taken a liking to someone, but it turns out he's nothing more than a petty person who bullies others by relying on his cultivation level." Su Ru glanced at Lin Jingge with disdain and sneered.
When the coachman saw that someone had come to his aid, and that this person had easily removed the oppressive aura that the other party had exerted on him, it was clear that the coachman's cultivation level was higher than Lin Jingge's.
Overjoyed, he quickly expressed his gratitude with tears in his eyes, instinctively hiding behind Su Ru.
"Don't worry, with me here, I definitely won't let her bully you!" Su Ru felt a surge of pride after receiving the driver's gratitude, and her gaze towards Lin Jingge became even more disdainful.
However, at that moment, she did not notice that the gazes directed at her from those around her were rather strange.
Lin Jingge is very sensitive to other people's emotions. After noticing Su Ru's emotions, she also showed a complicated expression.
She pursed her lips and said, "Are you sure you don't want to find out the truth before you take action?"
After speaking, he looked directly at the coachman who was walking behind Su Ru.
The driver's heart skipped a beat when he saw Lin Jingge's gaze. He felt that he was in grave danger and immediately dared not peek out again. He hid obediently, thinking about how to escape, and had no intention of saying a word to help Su Ru.
In his mind, he only thought this woman was stupid, and all that so-called gratitude was just an act.
"What's there to ask? You're just bullying people because you think you're so powerful! They don't earn spirit stones easily, do you expect them to give them to you for free?!"
The more Su Ru talked, the more she felt that this was true, unaware that her heart had already strayed far from the truth.
Each shout was as if it would label Lin Jingge as someone who bullies the weak.
"Pfft." Lin Jingge couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw the other person's "I'm a great hero" look on their face.
She wouldn't normally lose her composure like this. But lately, she's found herself frequently being amused by others.
It's not that she likes to laugh, it's just that this kind of thing is really too funny.
"What are you laughing at? Don't think you can get away with this. You have to apologize to him today!" As she spoke, Su Ru subconsciously tried to pull the driver who was hiding behind her out to confront Lin Jingge. However, when she turned around, she found that the driver who was originally being protected behind her had disappeared.
For a moment, she was stunned and realized that something was wrong.
The steward, who was standing guard beside the monster-drawn carriage and watching the scene from afar, realized something was wrong when he saw the coachman sneaking away. He immediately tried to send a telepathic message to Su Ru, telling her to come back quickly.
However, Su Ru was too excited and didn't pay attention to the other party's telepathic message at all.
The steward had to guard the monster carriage and could only watch his young mistress suffer. Seeing that Su Ru hadn't noticed his warning at all, he could only drive the carriage through the gap.
“Miss, you’ve probably misunderstood.” The coachman, who had just been called out by Lin Jingge, stepped forward and spoke after receiving a look from her.
Su Ru turned her attention to him, her expression turning grim: "What on earth is going on?!"
