C4257 If You Don't Want People to Know
"Come, drink, continue drinking, don't stop."
Gao Ming's face was completely red from drinking, and his entire body was filled with the smell of alcohol.
The subordinates beside him also loudly echoed, continuously clinking their glasses with him, and gulping down large mouthfuls of wine. It was extremely enjoyable, and drinking wine was like drinking water, extremely refreshing.
Today was a special day for him. He obtained Xiao Anhe's money, and joined forces with him, taking the first step into depravity.
There were some things that could not be stopped once they started.
Since he was able to easily obtain so much money and so many Immortal jades, why did he have to bitterly defend the rules and endure poverty?
I was not wrong, right, I was not wrong.
Gao Ming drank large mouthfuls of wine, desperately pouring it into his throat as he gave himself psychological hints.
Only in this way could he suppress the uneasiness and panic in his heart, as well as his fear.
He knew that since he obtained benefits, he naturally had to pay the price. Xiao Anhe would not give him so many benefits for nothing.
Then what was the price?
"Gu Gu Gu ~"
As the strong alcohol entered his throat, Gao Ming did not dare to think about it anymore. The more he thought about it, the deeper the fear in his heart became.
"Captain, you're drunk, you can't drink anymore, Captain."
At this time, a subordinate spoke up and advised Gao Ming.
Gao Ming did not care at all. With his face flushed red, he cursed, “No, I still want to drink. I’m not drunk. I can still drink.”
The subordinates looked at each other helplessly. In the end, they could only help Gao Ming, who was half drunk and half awake, out of the tavern.
“You guys leave first. I can do it alone,” Gao Ming said stubbornly.
Even he was almost unable to stand still. He still refused to give up and was unconvinced.
“Captain, can you really do it?”
“Of course. Why? Are you looking down on me?”
“No, I wouldn’t dare. In that case, you can go back yourself, Captain. It’s time to leave.”
Thus, the subordinates left one after another, leaving Gao Ming alone. The cold wind blew, and he immediately became much more sober. Most of the alcohol had gone.
“Sigh, I don’t know if it’s right or wrong, but there’s no turning back.”
In a daze, Gao Ming returned to his residence.
At this moment, a chilly feeling appeared and entered his heart, causing his hair to stand on end. His body stiffened and he froze on the spot.
The chilly killing intent completely locked onto him, causing his entire body to tremble. He could not even move.
He saw a strange and horrifying black shadow walk out from the corner. His eyes, which did not contain any emotion, were staring at him.
“You, who are you? How dare you barge into my residence? Get out.”
The last bit of hope in his heart caused him to let out an unwilling and nervous roar.
The black shadow sneered, as if he was looking at a fool.
“What did you do? Don’t you know what you did?” The black shadow cultivator questioned.
Hearing this, Gao Ming felt a trace of panic in his heart, but there was even more confusion.
He knew that the matter of him taking Xiao Anhe’s money and letting his fishing boat pass was exposed. This was something he had expected, but he didn’t expect it to come so quickly.
The problem happened the moment he left, and now he was being looked for. It was too terrifying.
At the same time, he was also very puzzled. How did the other party find him? After all, when he traded with Xiao Anhe, there was no third person present. It was impossible for him to leak the information.
“Impossible. How did you find me? I didn’t do anything.”
Gao Ming tried to defend himself.
The black shadow cultivator sneered and said, “If you don’t want people to know, then don’t do it. Since you did it, you should bear the consequences.”
“You…”
Gao Ming’s expression changed drastically. Without a word, he turned around and was about to escape.
But how could the black shadow cultivator give him this chance? With a flash, he forced his way behind Gao Ming and raised his hand to strike.
Bang.
The palm that broke through the air compressed the surrounding space, and it emitted a shocking sonic boom. Under Gao Ming’s terrified gaze, the palm landed solidly on his back.
Gao Ming, who was fleeing, was struck to the ground, and he spat out blood as he wailed in pain.
The intense pain spread throughout his entire body, but this was nothing. What truly caused him to despair and feel disheartened was that he was afraid that his entire life would be over.
He had violated the laws of Violet Cloud City and was even caught red-handed. There was no chance of him turning the situation around.
“Get up, stop pretending to be dead. This palm of mine can’t kill you.”
The black shadow cultivator said coldly.
Seeing this, Gao Ming endured the intense pain and coughed a few times. His mouth was covered in blood as he struggled to get up. He bent his body and looked at the other party.
He was shocked. The other party’s strength was probably at the peak of the Prominent Divine Realm, perhaps even stronger. He didn’t even have the strength to retaliate.
“What will happen to me?”
Gao Ming asked.
“Hmph, according to the laws of Violet Cloud City, you took the Xiao Clan’s money for personal gain and allowed the fishing boat to sail. It starts at least three hundred years.”
The black shadow cultivator said.
“Three hundred years?” Gao Ming’s face was bitter, and his head drooped down.
Even a Prominent Divine Realm cultivator would take an extremely long time to reach three hundred years. He would have to be locked up in the prison for a long time.
“But…” Suddenly, the black shadow cultivator changed the topic.
“But what?”
The already despairing Gao Ming’s eyes flashed, and hope was rekindled.
“As long as you are willing to stand out as a witness, perhaps you can be spared.” The black shadow cultivator offered a condition.
“…” Gao Ming was speechless for a long time.
…
Xiao Wuqing stood by the side of the boat, feeling a bit nervous. Even though this wasn’t his first time doing this, the uneasiness this time was exceptionally strong.
When his companions saw this, they teased him, “What? Are you afraid? If you’re afraid, go and talk to the manager. You can just change people.”
Xiao Wuxin shook his head and said, “I’m not afraid. I just feel a little indignant.”
“Dissatisfied? Heh, you envy the manager’s carefree appearance all day long? That’s only because he’s risking his life to get his position today. What do you and I count as?”
His companions at the side mocked him.
“Alright, stop thinking about it. If we succeed this time, we’ll be able to rest for a long period of time. If we do it well, we won’t treat you and me unfairly.”
Another companion advised.
How could the three of them not know that this trip would be fraught with misfortune? They picked the best words to say.
There were some things that could not be said, some things that could only be done, and some things that could not be thought about.
Xiao Wuxin shook his head forcefully. He turned around and glanced at the boat room where Xiao An was, then nodded forcefully and plunged into the water without any hesitation.
He knew that he only had one life left, and it was worthless. If he did not risk his life, he would not have anything.
Even if it was very unfair, he could only take this path.
