C7 Warning

With a loud bang, Su Zhenxuan's body slid down from the top of the wall that had been smashed to pieces, his mouth continuously driveling out bright red blood.

He felt that all his bones broke, and he didn't stand a chance of getting up on his feet again.

Despite being a Golden Core Stage Level Seven warrior, a woman manhandled and left him with serious injuries. Everyone gulped at how ghastly this woman's cultivation level was.

"Master Su, why are you doing this? Just take a look at yourself suffering!"

Lin Xiao sighed and tried to hide his delight. Then, he added, "I'm partly to blame for this. If I had known that you would be so defenseless, I would have asked Da Ji to hit you a little weaker."

But after Lin Xiao blurted out those words, he shook his head slowly, as if he regretted saying it.

Meanwhile, Su Zhenxuan was so enraged that he spurted out another mouthful of blood.

He had always been the one oppressing others in Jiangxia City, so he wondered why he ended up being in such a wretched situation.

"Oh, my goodness! Master Su's strength is clearly above the Golden Core stage Level Five, but he can't even resist a single blow from this ball of light?"

"What exactly is this woman's history? Her strength made my blood run cold!"

"She not from the city's capital, is she?"

"We seemed to have really judged the Young City Lord wrongfully before!"

.....

When the crowd saw Su Zhenxuan's woeful condition, they couldn't help but babble. Their perception of Lin Xiao had improved drastically.

Their deference and submission were sincere and successive.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining one hundred energy values!"

Simultaneously, a notification from the system rang out in Lin Xiao's mind.

"Huh?" he wondered loudly.

After the incident, the system rewarded him with many energy values.

It became apparent that he had apprehended many people this time around!

Lin Xiao's mood improved because of this. He lightly swept a glance at Su Zhenxuan and casually said, "Master Su, are you paying your tax or not?"

Su Zhenxuan's face paled at the enormity of the question. He took a deep breath and said to the butler next to him, "Go to the vault and settle the taxes that need to be paid!"

The butler nodded his acknowledgment and turned around.

Now, anyone with discerning eyes could see that there was no stopping the Young City Lord now from fulfilling his goal. If the Su family didn't pay their taxes, then this could be their end.

Su Zhenxuan's heart was full of resentment.

He already knew that Lin Xiao was coming to collect taxes, but he was emboldened and thought of giving him a lesson. What he didn't expect was for the tables to turn, and he got sanctioned instead.

"Master, the total is seven hundred and twenty-three gold coins, fifty-six silver coins, and one hundred and seventeen copper coins!"

said the housekeeper while catching his breath. He was carrying in his hands several boxes of gold and silver.

When Su Zhenxuan saw the quantity of gold and silver coins, he felt tormented inwardly. He muttered through gritted teeth, "Young City Lord, here's the payment for all the taxes we owed this city. Can you get off my property now?"

"It seems like you're really old and confused. Your taxes have been outstanding for three years. How much money have you profited from all those taxes over that period?"

Su Zhenxuan never thought Lin Xiao would be so relentless. Lin Xiao looked at him and said, "I can't pursue your guilt of defaulting on taxes, but I'll require you to pay some interest. If not, who will willingly pay their taxes in the future if I don't give the residents of Jiangxia City any explanation?"

"How dare you trick me!"

Su Zhenxuan couldn't believe Lin Xiao would treat him brutally. He was so mad that he spat out another mouthful of blood.

After he coughed out blood, Su Zhenxuan's face seemed to have blanched of all color, and he was almost dying.

"What's wrong with me?"

Lin Xiao asked in mock confusion while explaining, "Don't worry. The City Lord's Mansion won't take a single cent from the interest you paid. We'll give it all to the poverty-stricken people of Jiangxia City!"

"Woah! Is the Young City Lord saying the truth?"

"The heavens must have opened their eyes. I'm willing to bet that this Young City Lord will do an outstanding job to our city later on!"

"This is surprising and totally unexpected! Not only did the Young City Lord put the Su family in their place, but he also thought of the poor people's welfare!"

"That's right! From now on, we will follow the Young City Lord until the end of time!"

.....

The people all cheered and expressed their excitement after they heard Lin Xiao's remarks.

His effort in correcting the Su family's misdeeds gave them renewed hope and a brighter aspect of life.

With the people getting hyped up, Lin Xiao's energy value was also rising. Before long, it had reached one thousand energy values. He only needed half the amount of that energy to summon the next character!

This thrilled Lin Xiao so much that he glared at Su Zhenxuan, his eyes glowing with satisfaction. "How about it, Master Su? Will you still refuse to pay me?"

"Whatever! I'll settle the interest as well! "

Knowing that he didn't stand a chance against Da Ji, Su Zhenxuan was forced to concede defeat.

After Su Zhenxuan gave up, the other affluent merchants who heard the exchange grew silent.

What could the Su family do when they were no match at all to Lin Xiao and Da Ji?

As a result, Lin Xiao collected all the taxes that the rich gentry of Jiangxia City owed for three years in just one day, making Lin Yuntian roar in laughter.

When Lu Yu heard about it, he got so livid he was almost retching for breath.

His eyes narrowed with a hint of resentment. He instructed one guard, "Take this to the hill outside the city."

.....

.....

Ever since Lin Xiao reclaimed the tax dues and gave the interest paid by the wealthy to the impoverished residents, Lin Xiao's prestige shot up daily. His energy value soon reached one thousand nine hundred, just a hundred short of the last two thousand points needed to summon the next character.

One morning, Lin Xiao took his time strolling around Jiangxia City, thinking of ways to gain additional energy values when he accidentally came across an unexpected visitor from the nearby city.

This person was mounted on a red stallion when Lin Xiao saw him.

She was a woman with an imposing presence. She looked valiant and bold as she rode on horseback.

Although her charm was far from Da Ji, she could still pass up as a first-class beauty in Jiangxia City.

She was none other than Lin Xiao's wife and the daughter of Wangyou City's City Lord—Faang Qingxue.

Lin Xiao swallowed hard, lifted his chin, and boldly looked at Faang Qingxue's direction.

As far as he could recall, Faang Qingxue seemed disgusted when she found out he was a fool. So it confused him to see her in his city and wanting to meet up.

"I heard you're no longer stupid?"

Faang Qingxue asked just when Lin Xiao's thoughts were all in a muddle. Her expression looked smug, as if she detested looking at his face.

Lin Xiao didn't bother giving her any attention. He only gave her a dull stare and replied, "Yes."

"You..."

Faang Qingxue was appalled by Lin Xiao's cold reception of her. Back in the day, he had always been clingy to her. Now that he wasn't stupid anymore, he had become more adept.

Faang Qingxue held her head arrogantly back and said, "Lin Xiao, don't think I'll look at you just because you're not foolish anymore! For your information, it's Brother Lu Yu who I like the most. Even if you're not a fool now, I still won't marry you. Stop dreaming!"
