Chapter 110: Breaking into the Door at Night
"Is that all there is?"
"Yes, that is all."
The conversation taking place at the trading point in the shantytown had just about reached its end.
Du En had come here with the intention of purchasing some items, such as mid-grade spells or second-tier spiritual objects, but regrettably, mid-grade second-tier items were pitifully scarce here.
There were only a few quite ordinary mid-grade cultivation manuals, no mid-grade spells, though there was a second-tier low-grade magical artifact displayed as a decoration, and some second-tier dust-removing talismans for sale, and that was it.
This was actually normal; after all, it was a trading point catering to the shantytown, and the fact that it had even a few such items was already a consideration for the group of overseers.
As for the managers, if they wanted to buy anything, they would only go into the city to purchase it and would never come here.
But Du En did not reach out to take it at this moment.
Having quickly settled this matter, He Bo now only wanted this eyesore to get lost as soon as possible.
"Fight! Fight!"
In any case, if something really happened, it had nothing to do with them, and they could distance themselves from it.
"I cannot."
"What do you mean by that?!"
The other managers, who loved to watch the excitement and didn't fear a big scene, cast glances toward He Bo from afar, attempting to fan the flames and see blood spilled on the ground.
"Here, take your resignation order!"
As if to match this name, the pavilion in the dark of night was pitch-black and cold, lacking much human presence, and exuded a gloomy and terrifying feeling.
And the managers watching the spectacle cast looks of contempt, urging him to hurry up and start the fight, wanting to see a stimulating scene of broken heads and flowing blood.
"Du En, you are too arrogant and ignorant of status, which is why you have ended up like this. You can still be smug for a moment now, but once you are exiled to the outpost camp, you will have plenty of time to regret it..."
However, upon walking inside, Du En immediately sensed a subtle difference.
This place in the night looked exactly the same as it had when he left not long ago.
Du En's expression remained unchanged as he continued forward toward his intended destination.
With thoughts of future cultivation resources in mind, he stepped out of the trading point.
Accompanied by He Bo's angry shout, the originally dim and gloomy pavilion suddenly lit up.
"It seems this so-called outpost patrol guard really isn't a good job."
Of course, regardless of whether this existed or not, the things Du En had to do next remained unchanged.
He walked up, raised his hand, and without changing his expression, knocked on the door!
I am still nursing injuries that haven't healed, and the fellow opposite me had an anomaly when breaking through, so he is no ordinary person. Even if I were certain to win in the end, I would be adding injury to injury, and if I were to damage my foundation, my life would be completely finished here!
"That's right! Even if you are currently injured, you can still suppress an early-stage Foundation Establishment!"
The attitude of the managers!
Am I that stupid? To put on a show just so you can pick up the scraps?
Therefore, He Bo's lips trembled as he suppressed his anger and questioned Du En: "Speak, since you are so lacking in etiquette and ignorant of status, what exactly is it you want?"
Walking back to Qingya Garden.
Reason and rationality made He Bo shrink back at this moment; on the surface, he was still full of rage and increasingly nearing an explosive state, but his body was very honest, so he looked as if he were being coerced and suppressed as he walked toward the office desk located on the first floor.
It is certainly much harder than here at Qingya Garden, and truthfully, there is indeed no future, and it is difficult to protect oneself.
It's just that the evil cultivators...
He Bo's expression changed; he really wanted to say that the one calling the shots was the General Manager Tang Yiping, but he couldn't say such things recklessly, so he could only tacitly accept this point and instead said with dissatisfaction: "Can't you wait until tomorrow?"
"Du En, you are going too far!"
This was also normal; the ties between them were never very deep to begin with.
However, Du En was able to discover that He Bo's divine sense was peeking outward sneakily, thinking that because his realm was higher than Du En's, he wouldn't be detected here.
After all, He Bo would certainly try every possible means, and that Outer City General Manager looked like he was already confirmed to be birds of a feather with He Bo, wearing the same pair of pants!
Just as he was thinking this, the hurried Mining Affairs Manager Shi walked toward him.
He seemed to have something to say but stopped, eventually just letting out a faint sigh, wearing an expression that said "enjoy your last good moments," and said: "You can continue to live in your original room for this period; I have already had people clean it up, and the door has been repaired."
It didn't look like he was specifically looking for Du En, or rather, he didn't want to get too close to Du En right now, appearing to avoid this outpost patrol guard position and the attitude of General Manager Tang Yiping revealed behind it, fearing that he might be implicated.
"You bunch of bastards!"
"He Bo, oh He Bo, can you endure this?"
Having said that, he shook his head and sighed as he brushed past, having no intention of lingering for a conversation.
There was no actual action, but the lip service could not be dropped, so He Bo kept spewing filth incessantly.
"First-tier pills are already ineffective, and second-tier low-to-mid-grade spiritual meals are barely enough; next..."
"Teach this brat a lesson and let him know the gap between mid-stage and early-stage Foundation Establishment!"
Regarding this, Du En seemed to have some questions: "Didn't you arrange the new position for me? Since that is the case, naturally I must go through the resignation and handover process."
I just broke through and cannot hold back my strength; if a conflict really breaks out and I hit you too hard, don't blame me!
So in the end, Du En only spent two thousand low-grade spirit stones to replenish a batch of first-tier peak-grade spiritual materials, without buying those second-tier items with such low cost-effectiveness.
Du En answered and stepped closer, as if applying pressure, which made He Bo even more annoyed.
However, with the mountains high and the emperor far away, for Du En, it was not a bad place to avoid the sharpness of the General Manager and take the opportunity to develop.
Crack!
This Corpse Affairs Manager stomped heavily and tremblingly as he hurried down from the upper level.
"..."
Du En's final destination had already been determined, and they didn't really want to target him too much, so their fanning of the flames at this moment was mainly to take advantage of the situation to strike at He Bo.
The atmosphere in the air felt a bit strange due to the back-and-forth of divine senses, and as he walked, sporadic, blunt gazes were cast his way, not hiding their jealousy and mocking ridicule.
Bang!
While they were still guessing, the main gate had already been smashed directly, crashing into the Corpse Affairs Hall.
And this description of exile also gave Du En a bottom line.
He Bo gritted his teeth in his heart, wanting only to curse at someone now.
The aggressive He Bo suddenly faltered.
Du En thought calmly, not surprised, because there were details to corroborate it, and it would have developed this way under normal circumstances.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of the door being smashed spread quite far, attracting the attention of a group of busybody stewards; they speculated one after another whether He Bo would show his face.
This guy had seemed arrogant and rampant in the past, and the incident with the Green Clothes Gang back then had even provoked public anger, but because he was quite favored in front of Tang Yiping, they had never been able to find a good opportunity to strike; now that they saw an opportunity, they naturally did not hesitate, their gazes darting about wildly.
Corpse Affairs Hall attic.
"Fellow Daoist Du..."
Looking from the outside, there was not a single candle flame, making it look as if there was no one inside.
Facing this guy, Du En simply withdrew his hand and said, "Apologies, I just had a breakthrough and didn't control my strength well."
Although his choice of words and tone were as flat as ever, at this moment it still gave people a feeling of being perfunctory and casual, and it was completely devoid of any sincerity; it even faintly carried a hint of exerting pressure.
He Bo was about to lose his temper immediately; the other stewards had originally been quite regretful, but seeing this, they again shot over mocking and provocative gazes, making him so angry that he breathed heavily, his chest heaving violently.
