It's useless to think so much now. Ye Fan packed up the things he bought and was about to leave when a horse team suddenly came outside.
Judging from the costume of the horseman, he is from Lingxiao Tower.
They came to the place with the most people. The man at the front took out a token and said loudly: "The master of Lingxiao Tower has an order. From today on, the management fee will be increased by five high-grade spiritual stones every month!"
After the words fell, everyone sighed.
"Are you going to add more? Now that we can't even eat, how can we keep people alive?"
"That's right. The management fees are increasing every month. We might as well kill everyone here. We won't be able to survive anyway!"
"Last time I only added two high-grade spiritual stones, but this time I have to add five. It's too much!"
Immediately afterwards, an old man in black robes tremblingly came to the front of the horse team and said brightly: "Sir, this is only a medium-sized tribe, with a population of less than a thousand people, and the number of merchants coming and going now is already
There are very few of them, and the shops here can’t sell them at all. There are already many people who can’t afford to eat, sir, you can’t do more!”
The man held the whip tightly and threw it in the air with a sharp crackling sound, which made everyone tremble in fear.
This guy followed up and said with great power: "Now our Lingxiao Tower is the number one sect in the Wild Continent. Only under the protection of our sect can you live and work in peace and contentment. Now if our sect wants to develop its power, it needs a large number of spiritual stones.
People who belong to the sphere of influence of Lingxiao Tower should contribute money and efforts for the development of the sect. If you dare to talk nonsense, I will take your life immediately and get out of here!"
But the old man still argued with reason.
"Sir, you must not do it. Many people have left the tribe now. We, the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled really can't leave, and we can't make money. In this case, we really have no way to survive. Please tell the sect leader, sir.
Don’t increase the management fee, we really can’t afford it!”
The man turned the whip heavily on the old man's body, and a bloody mark appeared on the spot.
The old man also fell to the ground, clutching his wound in pain. At such an old age, he was already crying.
However, the hands behind the man smiled happily.
A young man stepped forward to help the old man up and said fiercely: "How could you beat an old man? This is simply too much. You keep saying you protect us, but what you do is even more outrageous than those robbers!"
The man scratched his hair with a whip and said disdainfully: "If you say so, you are not convinced. Since the old can't be beaten, then I will beat you, the young one. I don't think any of you dare to come forward."
say!"
As he spoke, all the man's men jumped off their horses and rushed straight towards the young man.
But at this moment, all the onlookers rushed up and blocked the person's child.
When the man saw it, everyone was so angry, and his eyebrows twitched a little.
Someone in the crowd shouted loudly: "If you beat people again, we will fight with you. Why do you beat people? We gave you all the money we earned, and now we can't even feed ourselves.
If you still beat me, you are worse than a beast!"
"That's right. You people will only bully us here, but when robbers come, you hide far away. Why should we support you people? We will never pay these management fees again.
here you are!"
"If you bully us like this again, we will all go to Vulcan City. You should also know how sincere I am. The people there are not only well-fed and clothed, but they don't have to pay any management fees. It's better than here.
Ten thousand times!"
Ye Fan, who had been listening to their conversation, smiled calmly at this time.
These people should have left here long ago. Even if they don't go to Vulcan City, it would be better than being bullied here.
I really don't know what they think.
At this moment, the old man reluctantly got up and stopped everyone from continuing to talk.
When the man from Lingxiao Tower saw that the public's anger was unquenchable, he did not dare to continue to be presumptuous. He snorted coldly and said: "Our sect master has told you the order. We will collect the management fee when the time comes. If any of you
If you dare not pay, you won’t be able to continue living!”
Throwing these words away, he took his men and walked away.
Everyone gathered around the old man, lamenting and feeling helpless.
But Ye Fan didn't want to worry about this. Scenes like this could be said to be everywhere, especially within the scope of Lingxiao Tower.
If you want to help them, it's best to kill Lingxiao Tower, so that you can solve it all at once.
Why waste time here?
But when passing by everyone, Ye Fan heard one of the men say: "Chief, let's leave here and go to Vulcan City. We can't live here anymore. What else is there to miss?"
The old man shook his head and said sadly: "But this is our home, and I heard other merchants say that Huosheng is already overcrowded now, and many people are waiting outside Vulcan City. If we want to go,
It will be so!”
Ye Fan felt that what he said was reasonable. No matter how fast the expansion of Vulcan City was, it could not keep up with the arrival of these people.
Instead of going outside Vulcan City and enduring the wind and sun, it would be better to be here, where at least you can have a shelter from the wind and rain.
But others did not agree with the old man's opinion.
A man stood up and said: "Even if we can't enter Vulcan City temporarily, at least we don't have to continue to be bullied here, and I also heard that Vulcan City has been expanding, and we will soon have a place to stay.
, I have already discussed it with several other brothers, we will leave here tomorrow, and we will never be slaves to the people of Lingxiao Tower again!"
Others also echoed: "Yes, we have also decided to leave here. In fact, we have thought so for a long time, but we may be a little reluctant to leave a place we are familiar with. But looking at it this way, we have no intention of leaving here."
Being nostalgic will only make those people in Lingxiao Tower bully us even more!"
"As long as we can live, we can live again no matter where we are, but here we have no hope, so I decided to leave with them!"
No matter what they say or do, it's their own choice, and Ye Fan doesn't want to get involved.
He just carried his things and returned to Jueying.
Mu Wanluo was waiting eagerly for his return. When she saw the figure in the distance, she happily ran to him.
