However, compared to the depression in Li Mu and Sha Yi's hearts, Geng Xian was very open-minded. When he saw Wen Yuanzheng, he greeted him with a flattering face: "Haha~ Lord City Lord, I haven't seen you for thirty years. You are getting younger and younger!"
In response, Wen Yuanzheng glanced at Geng Xian with some displeasure and said indifferently: "You disturbed me while I was fishing."
Upon hearing this, Geng Xian quickly closed his mouth and dared not make any sound.
After a long time, Wen Yuanzheng still had no intention of paying any attention to Geng Xian and the other two.
Sha Yi couldn't bear it anymore. Wasn't this just showing off to them?
So he shouted directly: "What a lousy city lord, is this how you treat your guests? I was never as arrogant as you before!"
Wen Yuanzheng frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't look at Sha Yi and said directly to Geng Xian: "Geng Xian, is this how you manage your subordinates?"
"Calm down, Lord City Lord. He is new here and doesn't know the rules!" Geng Xian said with a wry smile. It was no secret that they came from the Qiongzu Universe. Many upper-class people in this world knew about it, so Geng Xian did not hide it from Wen Yuanzheng.
"Newcomer? Haha, cut off his limbs and deprive him of the right to beg." Wen Yuanzheng ordered the guard beside him.
Upon hearing this, the guard drew his sword and walked towards Sha Yi.
"We can talk it out, we can talk it out!" Geng Xian shouted, standing between the guard and Sha Yi.
"Damn it, I'm afraid of you! Come on, chop me off." Sha Yi was naturally not afraid of the threat. Although his cultivation was useless, his immortal body was still there. Even if his limbs were chopped off, they would grow back quickly.
"Haha, do you still think that you were once a big shot? Since you have come to this world, you must abide by the rules of our world. Coil up like a dragon and lie down like a tiger. Accept your future status as a fifth-class citizen!" Wen Yuanzheng sneered.
Then he said to the guards, "Why don't you hurry up? Can't his limbs regenerate? Then chop him ten times, a hundred times, until he surrenders!"
"My Lord City Lord, please don't. The reason I came to see you today is related to these two new arrivals! I promise you will definitely be interested!" Geng Xian said hurriedly.
Wen Yuanzheng narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this, and stopped the guard who was about to attack, and then said: "Okay, then I will listen to what you have to say, but if what you say does not satisfy me, then all three of you will be punished by having your limbs cut off in a cycle."
Upon hearing this, Geng Xian pretended to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, then glanced at the guards beside him, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Wen Yuanzheng naturally understood what Geng Xian meant, and said calmly: "They are the confidants of this city lord and can be trusted."
Geng Xian smiled, and then said seriously: "Lord City Lord, as I said just now, these two are newcomers. They were once big figures in our world. However, unlike the others, they brought a large amount of Chaos Stones by chance."
Wen Yuanzheng immediately became interested when he heard this. He handed the fishing rod to the guard beside him, then stood up and faced Geng Xian and the others. The guard quickly turned his chair around, and Wen Yuanzheng sat back in it.
He smiled slightly and said, "What does it have to do with me that you brought the Chaos Stone? Could it be that Cheng Cheng wants to report it?"
"Haha, Lord City Lord, you are joking. We are not stupid. Even if we report this huge amount of Chaos Stones, we will not get any reward. At most, we will only get a silk banner, which we cannot eat or drink. And to you, Lord City Lord, this political achievement is nothing at all. You may only get a verbal commendation from above." Geng Xian said.
"Geng Xian, you are so bold that you dare to say such lies to the emperor!" Wen Yuanzheng shouted coldly.
"Please forgive me, Lord City Lord. I am doing this entirely out of consideration for you! You are the local official and you have been diligently governing Jianyang City and its affiliated areas. How much does it cost to run such a huge City Lord's Mansion? You will naturally have a share of the income within your area! Besides, these Chaos Stones originally came from another world. Even if we don't hand them over, the empire won't suffer any loss!" Geng Xian said.
Wen Yuanzheng's expression instantly relaxed and he said with a smile, "It's just a joke, why are you so nervous? Tell me, how much is it?"
Upon hearing this, Geng Xian mysteriously stretched out his hand and made a number 8.
Seeing this, Wen Yuanzheng said coldly, "I hate it most when people ask me riddles."
"800 billion, Lord City Lord, it's 800 billion!" Geng Xian said.
Hearing the figure of 800 billion, Wen Yuanzheng stood up suddenly, stared at Geng Xian and asked, "Are you serious?"
Geng Xian glanced at Li Mu and Sha Yi. After all, he had also heard what Li Mu and the others said, and he couldn't give Wen Yuanzheng an absolute guarantee.
However, Sha Yi didn't want to pay attention to Wen Yuanzheng, so he snorted coldly and turned his gaze elsewhere.
But now they have no way out, so Li Mu had to say: "We can guarantee that the Chaos Stones will be no less than 800 billion."
"Very good. Tell me where those Chaos Stones are. I will reward you handsomely!"
"I think you misunderstood. We came to you to ask for your help in washing the Chaos Stone and putting it into the bank card." Li Mu said lightly.
"Haha, you want to ask this city lord to wash your money? You are so brave!"
Geng Xian said: "City Lord, please calm down. Besides us, our president also knows about this matter, and our union will also get a share.
Alas, this matter is also my fault. Faced with such a large amount of Chaos Ore, I didn't know how to deal with it for a while. I was desperate and told the matter to the president. But it was he who made the deal and we came to you. Alas, you also know that our president has some friendship with His Majesty the Emperor. If we leave him aside..."
