Above all spirits

Chapter 51 Lan Yucheng

"Young master, this is Lanyu City, a subordinate town of the Canglan Empire."

Gu Yun slowly stopped in the direction Hongxiu pointed, and the three of them floated above Lanyu City.

From the sky, the entire Blue Universe City resembles a giant round plate, with towering city walls that seem to isolate the city from the outside world.

However, there was no barrier or formation.

The buildings within the city vary greatly in style; some are tall and majestic, imposing and grand; others are small and exquisite, elegant and refined; still others are overgrown with vegetation and simply decorated.

Although the buildings inside the city are somewhat crowded, the central area gives a sense of spaciousness.

The buildings here are luxurious yet sparse, making it undoubtedly the core area of ​​Lanyu City, or rather, the area of ​​Lanyu City's high-level power.

I bet Lin Zaicheng, the guy Tiger was talking about, is over there too.

Unfortunately, it was still a bit too small. Having witnessed the grandeur of Jitian City, Gu Yun couldn't help but sigh when he returned to Lanyu City.

The upper and lower boundaries are indeed not on the same level in this respect.

"Power: Stealth".

A flash of red light.

The three figures blurred for a moment, and when they reappeared, they were already on the streets of the city.

But no pedestrians noticed.

Although it was dusk.

But the streets remained lively.

Shouts and calls rose and fell.

"Selling candied hawthorns! Selling candied hawthorns! Sweet and delicious candied hawthorns!"

"Would you like a big meat bun, sir? Freshly baked!"

...

There were also whispers among passersby.

"Let's go change your clothes first."

Gu Yun looked toward a clothing store not far away.

Hongxiu quickly waved her hand upon hearing this.

"Ah, no need, no need, young master, I can't let you go to such trouble."

Without wasting any words, Gu Yun took Bai Qing'er's hand and headed straight there.

Bai Qing'er quietly turned around and whispered.

"Sister Hong, Sister Hong, hurry up and keep up!"

"Just do whatever your brother says."

Hongxiu nodded and smiled helplessly before following them.

Actually, she did want to change her clothes.

Looking at her wrinkled and tattered plain clothes, she felt that following Gu Yun like this was indeed a bit out of place, and that she herself seemed a little pretentious.

"Okay, here we come."

...

"jingle--"

Gu Yun pushed open the shop door and dispelled his stealth.

"Oh, welcome! What can I do for you, gentlemen?"

A middle-aged woman dressed in gorgeous clothes, exuding the air of a noblewoman, immediately approached to greet him, waving a yellow and blue handkerchief.

"You must be the proprietress?"

Gu Yun asked directly.

The proprietress looked at Gu Yun and her eyes lit up immediately. What a handsome young man!

A family capable of producing such a handsome son must not be an ordinary one.

"Yes, yes, that's me."

"Sir, what do you want me to do?"

"Change them into the clothes you think are most suitable."

Gu Yun pointed to Bai Qing'er and Hongxiu beside him.

The proprietress carefully examined the two men, but only observed their body sizes. She didn't question their attire whatsoever. In business, being curious about a customer's identity is a big no-no; as long as she can make money, that's all that matters.

He then nodded and said.

"No problem, young master, what is your budget?"

"It doesn't matter, just hurry up."

Gu Yun waved his hand. Although Bai Qing'er's village was not a wealthy village, the wealth of almost the entire village, plus the wealth brought by the nearly one hundred members of the Sand Tiger Gang, was already quite considerable.

Gu Yun had a conversation with Hongxiu on the way. It seemed that she often went to Lanyu City to exchange supplies, so Gu Yun asked her about it briefly.

I have a general understanding that in Lanyu City and even the entire Canglan Empire, gold and silver jewelry are commonly used among the common people.

Therefore, Gu Yun is not worried about whether the funds he currently has are enough.

"Okay, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

As she spoke, the proprietress pushed the two of them inside.

Within a few minutes.

A little girl in a snow-white dress with two cute braids and a beautiful woman in a black and red pleated dress with wristbands were pushed out by the proprietress.

The proprietress explained to Gu Yun in a low voice, looking embarrassed.

“Young master, well, she insisted on wearing this outfit. I tried to persuade her that a girl shouldn’t dress like a man, but she insisted, so I couldn’t refuse.”

Gu Yun replied calmly.

"It's alright, as long as she likes it. How much?"

The red-sleeved clothes are somewhat similar to the flying fish robes worn by the Imperial Guards in ancient times on Earth, which are undoubtedly more convenient for movement than those colorful skirts.

I don't know if it's to protect myself or to follow my heart.

That's alright, Gu Yun won't have any objections to other people's choices.

Seeing that Gu Yun did not express any dissatisfaction, the proprietress quickly echoed her sentiments.

"Oh, that's good, that's good. It'll be two gold coins and one silver coin in total. Since you're a new customer, just give me two gold coins. Welcome to come again next time, young master."

Hongxiu was slightly taken aback, surprised that it was so expensive, and couldn't help but pinch the hem of her dress.

You should know that one gold coin is enough for a family of three in their village to live on for one or two months!

Gu Yun didn't care about these things. With a thought, he took out two gold coins from his ring and handed them to the proprietress.

Bai Qing'er happily ran over and took Gu Yun's hand again.

"Thank you, brother. I've never worn such beautiful clothes before."

After saying that, she used her other hand to lift the white skirt and shake it twice.

Gu Yun gently patted Bai Qing'er on the back of the head.

"If you like it, then let's go. Let's find a place to stay for the night, and tomorrow we'll go and drag out all the people behind this."

Bai Qing'er pressed her chubby face against Gu Yun's arm and said happily.

"Okay brother."

"There's a vendor selling candied hawthorns over there. I haven't had them in ages. Do you want some?"

"Mmmmm, eat!"

"...eat...?"

"Okay, boss, three skewers, please."

"Okay, wait a moment."

...

Lanyu City, Lin Mansion.

"Young Master Lin, Young Master Lin, something terrible has happened!"

A servant dressed in plain clothes scrambled into the reception room.

Inside the reception room, three men were sitting, enjoying tea and chatting.

Young Master Lin, Lin Zaicheng is undoubtedly one of them.

"Clap."

A teacup was thrown violently to the side of the person below, and the airflow it passed through left a bright red bloodstain on his face without any mercy.

"How many times have I told you not to come in when I'm receiving guests? Don't you even care about your other ear?"

The servant shuddered instantly, knelt on the ground, and stammered, wanting to speak but not daring to, because that was how he had lost one of his ears.

"Alright, Cheng'er, Xiao Hao has been with you for quite a few years. If he's willing to go to such lengths to report something important, then it must be something serious. Listen to him first. Your uncle Lin Ping is here too. If there's any trouble, just have your uncle accompany you."

The old man sitting in the middle took a sip of tea and waved his hand, signaling Lin Zaicheng to calm down.

"That's right, Cheng'er. Your uncle has just broken through to the Overlord realm and has been taken in as a retainer by the Second Prince of the Canglan Empire. If anything happens, your uncle will help you deal with it. It'll be a good opportunity to stretch your muscles, hahaha."

The man sitting opposite Lin Zaicheng said in a hearty manner.
