C2590 He Was Once Again Treated like a Fat Sheep by Others

"What do you two have in mind?" Lin Bai was stunned at first, but then he turned his head to look in the direction of the voice. He saw that the person who was currently shouting at him was actually the two gatekeepers from the Myriad Manifestation Paradise.

However, he couldn't understand why these two men would stop him so suddenly, not to mention that he had not revealed his identity and that he had revealed his true strength.

And the thing that confused him the most was that the cultivation level he was showing now was the mid stage of the Sky Origin Stage. These gatekeeping disciples were at the upper level of the Radiant Sun realm. According to common sense, when they saw him, they should have been rather respectful and cautious, but judging from their demeanor, they didn't have even the slightest bit of reverence.

But as soon as he understood, Lin Bai immediately understood what was going on. It was not because these two disciples were stupid enough to think that they were comparable to the middle stage of the Qian Yuan Realm, but because of their special status.

And this was not because of anything else, but because they were the disciples of the Myriad Manifestation Paradise. There was a saying in the world that a seventh rank Prime Minister was a man who, even in the current world, would act arrogantly in front of a caretaker of a large office. Even the powerful figures of the local government did not put him in their eyes at all.

And these two gatekeepers, although weak in cultivation, were still disciples of the Myriad Manifestation Paradise. They didn't need to look at the Buddhist Sangha. Since they could become a member of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Initial Wonderland, they naturally had the ability to act arrogantly in the Heaven stage with only the Yang stage.

"Not necessarily …" When the two gatekeepers heard this, they looked at each other and chuckled. Then, they revealed a hint of playfulness towards Lin Bai as they said lightly, "But I just wanted to ask you, friend, did you forget something?"

Forgot what? Their words caused Lin Bai to be even more confused. It could be said that he had never met these two people in his entire life, and this was his first time in the Myriad Manifestation Paradise. They had never interacted at all, so how could he forget about anything?

"Senior Mu …" Just as Lin Bai was at a loss, Xia Fei rushed over to Lin Bai. First, he smiled at the two gatekeepers and then leaned over to Lin Bai's ear. He said in a low voice, "They are asking Senior for the passage fee."

Passage fee? After he said this, Lin Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He really didn't expect that he would encounter such a situation in the Celestial Realm. However, when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it wasn't that strange. In the mortal world, if you wanted to enter some public service, you had to give the gatekeeper some benefits.

Furthermore, looking at the beaming faces of these two, Lin Bai suspected that these two had already started to deal with the matter of guarding the sect, and had even gotten a lot of benefits from it.

In fact, it wasn't just them, the other disciples of the Sunlight Realm in the Myriad Manifestation Paradise were also anxiously waiting. To be able to become the gatekeepers of the sect during the grand gathering of the 'Ten Thousand Sects Come to the Dynasty', in order to obtain this good service, they had even given a lot of benefits to the elder in charge of this matter.

If he gave out the benefits, he naturally had to get them back from the people who entered the Heavenly Passage. In the past few days, all those who wanted to enter the Heavenly Passage, for the sake of the sect, honestly offered up the right places with both hands.

In reality, this rule wasn't only limited to the Ten Thousand Beginning Paradise. The other sects in the Celestial Realm also had the same rule when holding their own grand meeting. The sect knew all about this matter, but it involved the disciples of their sect. Besides these opportunities, these disciples wouldn't have any other gains, so they just turned a blind eye to it.

It was just that Lin Bai had just entered the Immortal World and was no longer familiar with these rules. That was why he had been so reckless in wanting to enter the sect.

If it were anywhere else, Lin Bai would have slapped him in the face without a word." But now, he also knew that he was not in any other place, but in the mysterious and unfathomable Myriad Manifestation Paradise. Moreover, he had other plans, so there was no need for him to start a conflict with these people for no reason.

"So that's how it is. This humble one has been careless." After understanding the sequence of events, Lin Bai smiled faintly and waved at Jin Baohong, gesturing for him to retrieve a portion of the slash he'd obtained from Liu Xuan. He handed it over to the two of them and said, "I wonder if these items will be able to enter your Dharma Eyes and allow me to enter the sect?"

However, what Lin Bai did not expect was that right after he passed over these items, the two gatekeepers actually revealed a sneer on their faces. They glanced at Lin Bai in disdain and said lightly, "Fellow Daoist, are you trying to shoo away the begging?"

The two of them had average cultivations and their positions were slightly low, but their appetite was not small. Upon hearing these words, Lin Bai's eyes slightly trembled, a hint of anger flashed past them, but he was unwilling to erupt. He turned his head and shot a look at Jin Bao Hong, indicating that he should take out some more things and dismiss the two gatekeepers.

"Fellow Daoist, aren't you underestimating us two too much? Do you think that this scrap of metal will be enough to get rid of the two of us?" But contrary to Lin Bai's expectations, not only did he not stop the two gatekeepers, he even made them become more arrogant. They coldly glanced at Lin Bai and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Fellow Daoist, as someone in the Heaven's Expanse Palace, you gave up on using the Soaring Sky technique, yet ended up joining up with these people from the Sunlight Realm. The things that you want to obtain are not just these small bits, right?"

F * ck, this young master has been treated like a fat sheep again! With these words, Lin Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He finally understood why these two gatekeepers were so troublesome to deal with. It turned out that in the hearts of these two people, they believed that he was in the Heaven's Origin Stage and abandoned his flying techniques. He chose to travel with them, not for any other reason but to extort benefits from them.

Just as Lin Bai thought, after revealing his cultivation base, the Sunlight Realm cultivators that followed behind him could be said to be magnificent. This appearance, in the eyes of these two gatekeepers, naturally regarded Lin Bai as someone who coveted treasures, which was why they were so sure that Lin Bai had reaped a bountiful harvest from these people, and that he was a rather fat sheep.

And with these thoughts in their minds, these two naturally looked down on the items that Lin Bai had taken out now. They wanted to rely on the sect's power and influence to extort Lin Bai and obtain even more benefits from him.

However, they did not know that the reason why Lin Bai did not choose the Soaring Sky Technique to come to the Ten Thousand Beginning Paradise was not to extort money, but because he was still unfamiliar with the Soaring Sky Technique. Furthermore, the reason why he went with these people was because he had a little bit of goodwill in his heart.

"Since the two of you don't want it, then I'll put it away." Lin Bai's eyes turned cold as he gestured for Jin Baohong to keep the items. He then cupped his hands and said, "However, I will definitely enter the sect today."

Lin Bai's temperament was naturally as such. If others treated him well, he would repay them with a gentleman. If someone wanted to make things difficult for him, he would naturally have to use a method that was a hundred times more ruthless than the person who was fighting him.

Although he didn't want to start a dispute with someone from the Ten Thousand Beginning Paradise, if he really wanted to be casually kneaded by these two gatekeepers as rubber, then that wasn't his, Lin Bai's, character, and he was bound to be looked down upon by others. One had to say, these two had chosen to ruthlessly slaughter Lin Bai as a fat sheep. They had absolutely found the wrong person.

"Humph!" Anger flashed in the eyes of one of the guards as soon as he finished speaking. He snorted coldly and sent a backhand slap towards Lin Bai, clearly wanting to use some tricks to warn Lin Bai of where he was now.

However, even before this person's palm could strike out, Lin Bai seemed to have already grasped his movements. Lifting his hand, five fingers came together and like an iron hoop, tightly locked onto that person's hand. With his attacks blocked and his wrists tightened, the person who was already used to snatching benefits from the people walking past was instantly enraged. He wanted to make a move on Lin Bai and use his strength.

Ever since he had obtained this fat job, he had been guarding this place. There were only a few thousand people who came and went, but there were also several hundred people. And no matter if they were in the Huiyang realm or the Qianyuan realm, they were all extremely respectful to him. He had never seen anything like Lin Bai, where he showed no signs of fear, and he even tried to resist.

"Wait, don't be impatient, Brother Sha." But before he could make a move, another guard beside him suddenly spoke up, stopping him from doing so. He then clasped his hands towards Lin Bai and said, "My name is Sun Kong, this is my junior brother, Sha Jing. "Fellow Daoist, since you have just arrived, you may not know the rules of my Ten Thousand Beginning Paradise. Why don't you listen to me explain them to you …"

"To enter the mountain gate and to pay the entrance fee, this is a rule that was established in my Ten Thousand Beginning Paradise. "This is a rule, and is also a favor to the Immortal World's Fellow Daoists. Is this Fellow Daoists not willing to give the Ten Thousand Beginning Paradise face?"

Lin Bai laughed coldly when he heard this. With his experience, how could he not see that Sun Kong was putting on an act by using the tiger's skin as the flag? From Xia Fei's suggestion just now, the fact that there was a wide range of existences within the Immortal World, and the rules of entering the sect to collect passage fees, was indeed undeniable.

However, these two fellows said that this was the rule of the Ten Thousand Creations Paradise, and that they were extremely wrong. Just think about it, how could a sect like the Myriad Manifestation Wonderland publicly say such a thing? At most, they would just privately turn a blind eye and just treat it as a favor to their disciples.

The Ten Thousand Refinements Paradise's reputation was indeed for sale, but with these two people being so greedy, how could Lin Bai allow them to do as they wish, allowing them to slaughter him?
