Chapter 4260

The tavern was very lively and full of people, day and night. Many monks drank from dusk to dawn, and then drank from dawn to dusk, forgetting the time.

"Come on, drink, keep drinking, don't stop."

Gao Ming's face was red from drinking, he smelled of alcohol, and he had completely indulged himself.

Several of the men around him also echoed loudly, clinking glasses with him, and drinking heavily. It was a great pleasure, and the drinking was as hearty as drinking water.

Today is a special day for him. He took Xiao Anhe's money, joined in with her, and took the first step of depravity.

Once something starts, it can never be stopped.

Since you can get so much money and so much fairy jade so easily, why bother to stick to the rules and suffer poverty.

I'm not wrong, yes, I'm not wrong.

Gao Ming drank heavily, pouring it down his throat while giving himself psychological hints.

Only in this way can he suppress his inner uneasiness, panic, and fear.

He knew that there was a price to be paid for receiving benefits, and Xiao Anhe would not give him so many benefits for nothing.

So what's the cost?

"Gu Gu Gu~"

With strong alcohol in his throat, Gao Ming was afraid to think further. The more he thought about it, the deeper the fear in his heart would become.

"Captain, you're drunk. You can't drink any more, Captain."

At the right time, one of his subordinates spoke up and persuaded Gao Ming.

Gao Ming didn't care, his face flushed, and he cursed: "No, I still want to drink. I'm not drunk, I can still drink."

Several of his subordinates looked at each other with helpless expressions, and in the end they could only help Gao Ming, who was half drunk and half awake, out of the tavern.

"You guys go first, I can do it alone." Gao Ming said harshly.

Even though he was almost unsteady on his feet, he still spoke reluctantly and unconvinced.

"Captain, can you really do this?"

"Of course, why, look down on me?"

"No, how dare you. If that's the case, captain, you can go back on your own. It's time to leave."

As a result, several of his subordinates left one after another, leaving Gao Ming standing alone. As soon as the cold wind blew, he immediately sobered up a lot, and most of his alcoholism was gone.

"Oh, I don't know if it's right or wrong, but there's no turning back."

Drowsily, Gao Ming returned to his residence.

At this moment, a cold feeling emerged and spread into his heart, making his hair stand on end and his whole body stiffened, froze in place.

The cold and killing intent completely locked him in, making him tremble all over and unable to even move.

Then he saw a strange and terrifying black shadow coming out of the corner, staring at him with emotionless eyes.

"You, who are you? You dare to break into my residence, get out."

The last thought of luck in his heart made him roar unwillingly and nervously.

The black shadow sneered, as if looking at a fool.

"Don't you know what you did?" the black shadow monk asked.

Hearing this, Gao Ming felt a flash of panic in his heart, as well as a deeper confusion.

He knew that it was probably exposed that he had taken Xiao Anhe's money to release his fishing boat. This was what he had expected, but what he didn't expect was that it would happen so quickly.

If something happens to the front foot, the back foot will come to the door. It’s terrible.

At the same time, he was also very puzzled as to how the other party found him. After all, when he made the deal with Xiao Anhe before, there was no third person present and it was impossible to leak the secret.

"No way, how did you find me? I didn't do anything."

Gao Ming tried to defend himself.

The black shadow monk sneered and said: "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. Since you have done it, you should suffer the consequences."

"you……"

Gao Ming's face changed drastically, and without saying a word, he turned around and tried to escape.

But how could the black shadow monk give him this opportunity? He dodged, forced himself behind him, raised his hand and landed a palm.

"boom."

A palm that broke through the air compressed the surrounding space, making an astonishing sonic boom sound. Under Gao Ming's horrified eyes, a palm hit him firmly on the back.

Gao Ming, who was running away, was knocked to the ground, vomiting blood and wailing in pain.

Severe pain surged through his body, but it was nothing. What really made him desperate and disheartened was that he was afraid that his life would be over.

He violated Ziyun City's laws and regulations, and was caught red-handed. There was no way he could make a comeback.

"Get up, don't pretend to be dead, I can't kill you with this palm."

The black shadow monk said coldly.

Seeing this, Gao Ming endured the severe pain, coughed several times, and his mouth was full of blood before he got up with difficulty, hunched over and looked at the other party.

He was shocked. The opponent was so strong that he might have reached the peak of the Holy Realm or even be stronger. He had no power to fight back.

"What will happen to me?"

Gao Ming asked.

"Hmph, according to the laws of Ziyun City, you took the Xiao family's money and released the fishing boat for at least three hundred years."

The black shadow monk said.

"Three hundred years to start?" Gao Ming's face was full of bitterness, and his head drooped.

Even for a cultivator in the Holy Realm, three hundred years is an extremely long time. He has to spend it in prison, alas.

"But..." Suddenly, the black shadow monk changed the subject.

"But what?"

Gao Ming, who was already in despair, his eyes flashed, and hope was rekindled.

"As long as you are willing to stand up and testify, you may be given a lighter sentence." The black shadow monk made the condition.

"..." Gao Ming was speechless for a long time.

…

Xiao Wuqian stood on the edge of the boat, a little nervous. Although it was not the first time he had done this, his uneasiness this time was particularly strong.

The companion on the side saw it and joked: "What, are you afraid? If you are afraid, just go talk to the manager and find another person."

Xiao Wuqian shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm just a little unhappy."

"Aren't you angry? Hey, are you envious when you see the manager looking so prosperous all day long? He only got to where he is today by working hard on his own. Who do you and I think?"

The companion on the side laughed at himself.

"Okay, don't think blindly. Once the work is done this time, you can rest for a long time. Once things are done, I won't treat you and me badly."

another companion advised.

The three of them didn't know that this trip would be a disaster, so they could only say good things.

There are some things you cannot say, some things you can only do, and some things you cannot dwell on.

Xiao Wuqian shook his head vigorously, glanced back at the cabin where Xiao Anhe was, nodded vigorously, and plunged into the water without any further hesitation.

He knew that he only had this life left, and it was worthless. If he didn't fight, he would have nothing. Even if it was unfair, there was only one way he could go.
