Dugu Nine Swords (3)

Secondly, there's comprehension, which is a bit hard to define. It's about getting someone to grasp the Sword Intent of the sword and master the strongest moves.

The saying "no moves are better than moves" doesn't mean there are no moves at all, but rather that one should comprehend all moves and make them instinctive, so that the strongest move can be unleashed naturally.

Because of this, Ye Lang was immersed in sword comprehension for a period of time, and during this time he happened to be traveling by carriage, so it wasn't a waste of time, but rather a way to pass the time.

After that day, Ye Lang left some gold coins for the innkeepers, asking them to take care of Ye Sheng and handle his funeral arrangements. He would have someone watch over them, and if they were careless in the slightest, Ye Lang would demolish their inn.

In fact, Ye Lang's threat was unnecessary. The shopkeeper would definitely complete the task Ye Lang instructed, because Ye Lang had given them so many gold coins that they would have plenty left over after completing the task, which could be considered as making a windfall.

They would naturally do such a thing properly. They wouldn't be foolish enough to embezzle it all. Ye Lang must have connections to be able to come up with so much money, and they, who run businesses, didn't want to cause trouble.

Seven days later, a very dilapidated carriage appeared at the city gate of the Aila Empire. The carriage was so broken that even the city guards were too lazy to come City Entry Fee.

This carriage was the same one Ye Lang was riding in. Since he was going to pretend to be a poor man dressed in coarse clothes, the carriage naturally had to be a bit old and worn out.

Of course, he wouldn't skimp on the fare; the coachman would be back soon, and no one would know how much he paid.

Ye Lang did not let the carriage go in. Instead, he got off at the city gate and had the carriage turn back. He then superficially thanked the driver for bringing him there, in order to let people know that he was a poor man.

People might suspect that he brought it along, that the carriage was originally going to come here and he was just dropped off on the way!

Ye Lang was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, which were not torn, but this showed that he was a poor man. He had a very old thin sword hanging at his waist, which was probably his most valuable possession.

What a penniless wretch!

At this moment, everyone who saw Ye Lang would have this thought: they all felt that this poor boy was here to freeload. Every year, a group of people who thought they could make something of themselves in the capital would come here.

"Sir..." Ye Lang ignored the gazes of these people and prepared to enter the city. To enter the city, he would naturally have to pass through the City Guard in front of him.

"Go away! Don't say anything more, just hand over ten copper coins and go in!" the soldier said impatiently, but he didn't make things difficult for Ye Lang. Perhaps it was because Ye Lang had no money, or perhaps he was afraid that Ye Lang would cause trouble, so he just asked Ye Lang to pay the minimum entrance fee.

Here, many people who couldn't afford to enter the city would plead with these soldiers. The soldiers were tired of hearing it and didn't want to listen anymore. When they saw someone like Ye Lang, they would use the lowest possible standard.

Ten copper coins—I believe anyone could give that, unless they were a penniless beggar!

"Ten copper coins?" Ye Lang took out his money bag, counted out ten copper coins, and handed them to the soldier.

Ye Lang doesn't usually carry a money pouch, but now he can't use his Space Ring. If he does, people will know he's not an ordinary person, which would be troublesome.

Ye Lang is now an ordinary person through and through, a person without money!

Ye Lang seemed a little excited about this, thinking it looked like fun and wondering if he could make a living in this place with just a few Silver Coins.

Back on Earth, some people would spend just a few dollars to play all day long. They couldn't withdraw money or ask for help from others; they had to rely on themselves. Even so, they still had a great time and a unique experience.

Ye Lang just wanted to experience this feeling, so he decided to use five Silver Coins to last for a few days!

Five Silver Coins...

If anyone heard this, they would definitely laugh at Ye Lang, because five Silver Coins are not a small amount of money. It would be an easy thing to live on for a few days without any difficulty.

Prodigal Son is Prodigal Son; he has no idea the value of money!

"Go in, go in!" The soldier waved his hand impatiently at Ye Lang, signaling him to hurry up and enter the city and stop bothering them.

"The Aila City doesn't seem as bustling as Soaring Sky Empire, but it's still quite nice, especially the architectural style, which is different from the Soaring Sky Empire and Vermilion Bird City. This trip was worthwhile!" Ye Lang exclaimed after entering the city.

Then, Ye Lang, like a country bumpkin in the city, looked around everywhere. His appearance made no one doubt his identity. They all felt that Ye Lang was a perfect match for his coarse clothes.

That day, Ye Lang didn't plan to go to House Harder right away. He just planned to wander around here and buy some cheap snacks and noodles. He planned to stay like this until evening.

He planned to find a corner to meditate in at night to save some money on the room!

Who would have thought that this Prodigal Son would actually do something like this, refusing to stay in a hotel just to save money? If word got out, who would believe it?

"That guy is so unsophisticated!"

Ye Lang didn't know where he had wandered off to. It seemed to be a rather affluent area, frequented by wealthy young men or nobles. People like Ye Lang rarely came here unless they worked there.

Uh, of course I'm referring to Ye Lang's current appearance, looking like an ordinary person!

Ordinary people wouldn't come to this place; they would only be mocked by nobles and the wealthy, and they also felt that this was not a place for them.

Ye Lang, however, was different. He came here simply because he thought the houses were nice, and since this was the best place he frequented, why would he think he shouldn't come?

From the moment Ye Lang appeared, many people looked at him and made similar expressions, showing contempt or disdain. However, no one approached Ye Lang because they felt that seeking out someone like Ye Lang would be an insult to their status.

At this moment, in a relatively lively restaurant, several girls were playing around on the balcony. They were just feeling bored and had nothing to do when they noticed the dazed commoner Ye Lang.

So they realized they had something fun to do!

"Sisters, do you see that dull-witted commoner boy?" the first girl to spot him exclaimed softly. The girls who were already weak remained weak and did not become more energetic because of his words.

They wouldn't even pay attention to a handsome and dashing Young Master, let alone a dull-witted commoner.
