Sima You Yue and the others glanced at those people. Decked like this, she knew without needed to guess that these people were from Heavenly Tiger Hall.
She saw that those around her had faces full of fear when these people arrived as well. Apart from the Heavenly Tiger Hall, there were no other people who wielded such power.
“We’re the ones who just came into the city. What’s up?” Sima You Ming represented the family as he spoke.
“It’s like this. When you enter the city, you need to pay an entry fee of a thousand low ranked crystals per person. There’s also a protection fee of five hundred intermediate ranked crystals . There are one, two… thirteen of you, so you have to pay ten thousand three hundred low ranked crystals and six thousand five hundred intermediate crystals.” The male said.
“Ss-”
When the people around them heard what that male said, they all sucked in a breath.
Ten thousand three hundred low ranked crystals and six thousand five hundred intermediate crystals… this was enough for support an average cultivator for a few months!
“Who said that we have to pay it?” Sima You Ming answered, “When we entered the city, nobody asked us to pay any entrance fees. There were no guards around asking us to pay this either. Now, you guys are coming up to ask for an entry fee. I don’t think this is appropriate, right?”
“What do you mean appropriate or not? The words of our Heavenly Tiger Hall are absolute!” That male said, “In any case, we always take the entry fee. It’s expected that you are unaware because it’s your first time here.”
Great City had truly been taking entrance fees all this while. However, because the Heavenly Tiger Hall’s entrance fee were too expensive and everyone did not wish to be suppressed by them, the people who came in these two years were few.
When the Heavenly Tiger Hall clansmen saw that nobody was coming, they simply hired guards. Once people came in, they would receive news and go after them for the entry fee and protection fee.
“Since you didn’t need us to pay the entry fee upon entering, then there’s no need to talk about it now. As for that protection fee, we don’t need your protection, so please return.” Sima You Ming actually rejected him.
Did they not have crystals?
They did. But they had no wish to hand it over to the Heavenly Tiger Hall clansmen.
Furthermore, they had no intention on maintaining friendly relations with the Heavenly Tiger Hall when they came. They had even left with Zhou Shu Ren but he actually died while she was alive, so the Heavenly Tiger Hall would definitely blame it on her.
Since they were going to turn on each other eventually, there was no need to accede to their requests now.
When the people in the inn heard what Sima You Yue said, they were all petrified. Did they know who they were talking to?
They dared refused to pay the entry and protection fee. The result of it would be disastrous!
When the Heavenly Tiger Hall clansman was rejected, he was momentarily stunned. When he had confirmed that he had indeed been rejected, he was furious. His voice raised as he asked, “What did you say??”
“Is it that your ears don’t work and you can’t hear me, or your brain is stupid and can’t understand?” Sima You Ming rolled his eyes and said lightly.
