Opening confession to the beautiful master

"Congratulations to both of you, have you concluded the business deal with our shopkeeper?"

As soon as the waiter saw the shopkeeper's attitude towards them, he roughly guessed the outcome of the matter and immediately became enthusiastic.

Zhang Yi nodded, remembering that the waiter in the shop had spoken to them before, "Thank you very much, brother, for your generous words."

The waiter waved his hand and said bluntly: "It doesn't matter, I'm just stating the facts. The person who brought you here is so unreasonable. He actually left you here like this!"

"It was really a helpless move before. I apologize for any offence. When you two become prosperous in the future, please remember the little ones."

The waiter didn't know what kind of business Zhang Yi and the others were discussing with the shopkeeper. He just remembered what happened before and said apologetically.

Zhang Yi waved his hand. He didn't take that matter to heart. He just performed his duties. He couldn't let others bear the bill for them.

Soon, the waiter took Zhang Yi and Princess Ziling to the best room in the Fireworks Building. The room was full of antiques and everything you wanted.

"Then I'll ask you two to rest. If you need anything, just say hello."

The waiter closed the door for Zhang Yi and the others, bowed and said goodbye.

But after the waiter left, Zhang Yi noticed dozens of practitioners standing at the door, seemingly to prevent them from escaping.

"This martial arts gym must be full of dangers, but why doesn't Master take us directly to the martial arts gym instead of passing through the fireworks tower?"

Zhang Yi couldn't figure this out. If he went directly to the martial arts gym, he would obviously make more money. Of course, this was on the premise that he could win every battle.

"I think there must be some unknown reason for this, but no matter what it is, it is really unjust for Master to leave us here!"

Zhang Yi was also deeply angry at the drunkard's behavior, thinking that he would take the opportunity to take revenge next time they met.

During this period, Zhang Yi wanted to go out several times to understand the situation, but without exception he was stopped by the thugs outside the door. The things he wanted were also passed into the room through them. Obviously, he had strict control over them.

There was no words all night, and until the next morning, the shopkeeper had Zhang Yi and Princess Ziling brought into his room early in the morning.

"Today's competition will start soon. You can follow me to the martial arts field."

The shopkeeper got straight to the point and asked people to prepare their carriages and horses for the trip.

"Shopkeeper, I'm confused about something. Isn't anyone allowed to participate in this martial arts dojo?"

Zhang Yi asked the doubts in his heart.

"Of course not. In this mortal city, only the four village masters and I are qualified to send people to participate in the martial arts field. To put it bluntly... this is a game between us."

The shopkeeper said lightly.

Zhang Yi nodded, and the doubts in his heart were easily solved, "I see, it makes sense."

"You must perform well today. I sent someone to sign up for you last night. This is your first battle, and the magnification ratio is logically the highest."

"Your opponent this time is a butcher who has won ten games in a row. The odds are one to ten. His pig-killing knife skills are hard to guard against. You have to be more careful."

The shopkeeper made arrangements for today's event last night, "I bet heavily on you, ten thousand taels of silver. If you lose, I will ask him to spare your life. I promise to make your life worse than death!"

Obviously, the shopkeeper has already established all the relationships secretly. As a pure businessman, he only cares about profit.

"Don't worry, you won't lose!"

Zhang Yi frowned slightly, with a displeased look on his face, and said calmly.

The shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction and then turned his attention to Princess Ziling, "Your opponent this time is the Black Widow. This woman is ruthless and has at least a dozen lives in her hands. Her speed is like a cheetah." , he is a death row prisoner brought out by Er Niang, your multiplier is even higher, one to twenty!"

"knew."

Princess Ziling waved her hand impatiently, seemingly not taking it to heart.

To think that she, the ninth princess of heaven, actually became a thug in the mortal city. No one would believe it if she told her this.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but feel a little worried for Princess Ziling after hearing the news, but in his mind he was thinking about how to save Princess Ziling's life in critical moments.

"I must deal with my opponent as soon as possible so that I can have time to take care of my junior sister."

After thinking about it, Zhang Yi only felt that this method was more reliable.

"Is there a death row in this mortal city?"

Zhang Yi always thought that this mortal city was a place outside the law and there wouldn't be many rules, but the shopkeeper mentioned death row before, which caught Zhang Yi's attention.

"Of course, only those who have committed the most heinous crimes will be put on death row."

"If there were no rules, wouldn't this mortal city be in chaos? It's just that the death row is directly controlled by the mortal city weapon spirit. If you want to get someone out of the death row, you have to pay a huge price."

The shopkeeper doesn't mind introducing Zhang Yi to the rules of Mortal City. Anyway, at least for now, it seems that Zhang Yi and Princess Ziling are his people.

When they walked out of the fireworks building, a carriage had been prepared outside the door. The shopkeeper calmly boarded the sedan, and there were more than a dozen practitioners around him to guard his safety. "Keep an eye on these two, if they If you run away, the debt will be settled on you!"

The shopkeeper didn't forget to open the curtain and give instructions to the thugs. Then he smiled and explained to Zhang Yi and the others: "Don't mind, you two. I am a villain first and a gentleman later."

Zhang Yi shook his head expressionlessly, while Princess Ziling glared at the shopkeeper with displeasure.

"What the hell? I've never been so angry in my life!"

Princess Zi Ling said angrily.

"That's the face of a businessman."

Zhang Yi was not surprised by this, but he didn't like the shopkeeper. They just took what they needed.

Since the East Village and the West Village were in two completely different directions, they spent some time on the road. During this time, Zhang Yi met an acquaintance on the road, who was the pickpocket monkey who had a conflict with them yesterday.

At this time, the monkey was staring at Zhang Yi and the others, and made a gesture of wiping his neck, with cold murderous intent in his eyes.

Zhang Yi frowned slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "You dare to provoke me even if I spare your life. You don't know what's good for you!"

"Big Brother, I feel that the world of mortals is so complicated."

Princess Zi Ling experienced too many human feelings in just one day, which made her a little uncomfortable, and she couldn't help complaining to Zhang Yi.

"Relatively speaking, they are actually very complicated. As long as you are strong, all problems can be solved."

"You must be careful in the battle later. The Black Widow doesn't sound that easy to deal with."

Zhang Yi thought of the battle later and couldn't help but remind her worriedly.

"Oh, big brother, don't worry. I don't care if she is Black Widow or White Widow. She is just a little faster. It's not a big problem."

Princess Zi Ling said easily, as if she was sure of victory.
