In Jinyang City.

There were hurried pedestrians on the street, and there were crowds of people. From time to time, the shouts of road vendors came from roadside, but the atmosphere seemed a bit strange, and something was vaguely discussed.

"Have you heard that, Qushi City fled, died, the city is extremely tragic!"

"Of course I heard of such a big thing. This area is the most prosperous in Jinyang City. How can I not know about this kind of thing!"

"It is said that this time in Qushicheng involves a certain sect, and that other type of city guard is just an ordinary person who is deeply involved!"

"I have also heard that the leader is actually several powerful cultivators. In their eyes of the mortal city...ah!"

With Ye Xuan's breakthrough, his spiritual sense became more and more sensitive. He heard many passers-by's discussions. He frowned and unconsciously looked at Lan Ling beside him.

"What's wrong?" Lan Ling asked with confusion when he saw Ye Xuan suddenly looking at him.

Ye Xuan smiled slightly: "It's okay, I just want to see you."

A blush appeared on Lan Ling's face. She avoided Ye Xuan's gaze and walked forward quickly.

"Oh..." Looking at Lan Ling's back, Ye Xuan's expression quickly returned to his solemnity.

A cultivator? Sect?

Ye Xuan couldn't know.

The three of them walked and stopped all the way, and soon they arrived at the door of a noodle shop.

"Ye Xuan, this is why I came to Jinyang City. My father's elder brother opened a noodle restaurant here." Lan Ling briefly introduced to Ye Xuan.

The three of them entered the noodle shop and found a table to sit down.

At this time, a waiter saw someone coming, and immediately came to the table and said, "Three, what should I eat?"

Lan Ling looked at the waiter and said, "Please tell your shopkeeper, just say... Lan Ling wants to see him."

The waiter showed a hint of suspicion, but did not ask, and after hesitation, he came to: "Okay, wait."

The waiter hurried upstairs and came back not long after. He said, "The shopkeeper is on the second floor, I'll take you there."

The four of them came to the door of a room on the second floor. The waiter stopped and turned around and said, "Get in, he's inside."

The furnishings in the house are simple, with a wooden table and a few wooden chairs, a teapot and tea cup on the table, and a wide wooden bed against the wall. Although they are a little old, they are extremely neat.

"Uncle!"

When Lan Ling saw Lan Ku, a sad look appeared on her face, and her body trembled slightly. Lan Ke threw herself to Lan Ku's side, and her little face was covered with tears.

"Ke'er... I'm still here, so I won't cry anymore." Lan Ku picked up Lan Ke who was rushing towards him, and looked at the little girl's appearance, and he felt extremely sad.

Lan Ku looked at Lan Ling next to him again, his heart full of loss, and there was helplessness and guilt in his loss. Perhaps it was because he could not help Lan Ling's family, even a little bit.

"My second brother has helped me so much. As your uncle, I can't practice Taoism, and I can't help much... Alas, I can only run a noodle shop in this city." Lan Ku paused and continued: "But this noodle shop is enough for my family to make a living, so why not have more than two more people."

"Thank you... Thank you uncle..." Lan Ling's eyes trembled and she said softly.

Lan Ku's eyes turned to Ye Xuan at this time, with complex expressions in his eyes.

"I wonder if this little brother is?"

Ye Xuan clasped his fists forward and looked at Lan Ku's eyes. Tension appeared on his face unconsciously. His mind was only a sixteen-year-old child after all, and he would feel unnatural about strangers or things.

Lan Ku frowned and looked at Ye Xuan. With Ye Xuan's expression, he was just an immature child. How did he get along with Lan Ling?

"I...I am in Qushi City..." Ye Xuan looked embarrassed. He didn't know what to say, but he couldn't say that he was traveling from another planet.

Lan Ling walked to Ye Xuan's side, pulled Ye Xuan's arm and said, "Uncle, Ye Xuan is also a cultivator. If it weren't for him, I might have been gone. He sent me all the way."

"So that's it." Lan Ku's face calmed down. After looking at Ye Xuan up and down, he said, "I'll have someone give you some clothes later."

"Okay...thank you, Uncle Lan."

Ye Xuan's face turned red. Sure enough, my pants were very special.

"Kobayashi, bring a few clothes." Lan Ku shouted to the outside of the door.

The waiter came in and responded, and hurriedly left.

"Then Ye Xuan, do you want to stay with Lan Ling with me?" Lan Ku asked.

Ye Xuan glanced at Lan Ling beside him and said, "Lan Ling, please, Uncle Lan. I still have something to do... I won't bother you."

After hearing this answer, Lan Ling felt extremely disappointed. She wanted to express her thoughts, but she saw Ye Xuan's talent for practicing Taoism. After all, she and Ye Xuan would not be the same person.

However, in just a few days, she could no longer tolerate others.

"Shopkeeper, the clothes are delivered." The waiter came in with a few pieces of clothes in his arms.

Lan Ku looked at Ye Xuan and said, "Well, Ye Xuan, take it, just treat it as your thank you for saving Lan Ling. Although the clothes are insignificant, there is nothing good in my small shop. If you need anything, just take it."

"Thank you, Uncle Lan, but these are enough." Ye Xuan put his clothes into the backpack space in his mind, thinking about where to go after leaving.

After the meal, Ye Xuan changed into clothes, said goodbye to Lan Ling and others, and came to the street.

When he left, he only remembered that Lan Ling's eyes were full of reluctance and attachment.

But, do you really like Lan Ling?

No, he doesn't know.

The only goal at present is to return to Blue Star’s belief, but unfortunately, it is too far away and too confused.

However, the only thing I want to do now is to find out why Qushicheng suffered this incident and to make up for Lan Ling's feelings for him.

Unlike Qushi City, Jinyang City occupies nearly twice the number of attics than Qushi City. Although I have never seen the appearance of Qushi City on weekdays, I can imagine that Jinyang City is indeed prosperous in this area.

There are many major sects in this world, and they have control over a land. If you want to obtain good resources to practice, you have to join the sect.

Ye Xuan walked on the street, thinking constantly. He asked Lan Ling many times about the tragedy in Qushicheng, but Lan Ling never told him. If he wanted to quickly improve his strength to investigate the negative situation, there was no better way than joining the sect.

If you join the sect, you need to recommend the city lord who protects the city from this sect. The city pays tribute to the sect and selects talents. The sect protects the city from disasters such as monsters, but you never interfere in wars between mortals. Just like Qushi City, there will be no sect to protect it.

If the law is violated, the ruling of the Fire God Sect will be handled. Ye Xuan cannot find out more about the specific circumstances of the ruling in Jinyang City.

"It seems that I'm going to go to the city lord's mansion."

Jinyang City, the city lord's mansion.

Ye Xuan stood in front of the city lord's mansion and told the guard at the door that he was secretly coming. He thought it would take more verbalism, but he was taken directly into the city lord's mansion by the guard.

The vegetation is everywhere in the city lord's mansion, paving the roads, narrow roads reach the hall, the facilities in the house are complete and a little extravagant, and most of them are vermilion-red, which is obviously a place to receive guests.

Ye Xuan didn't see anyone, but followed the guards out of the hall again.

Walking into a quiet place, there are still stone paving roads. There is a two-story building on both sides of the narrow road, and a lotus pond on the other side. There is a small rockery standing in the lotus pond.

On the other side, the two-story building is in the courtyard behind the wall. There are many flowers and green leaves sticking out on the wall. This beautiful scenery makes Ye Xuan think that he has left the city for a time.

It’s worthy of being the city lord’s mansion, it’s such a luxury!

If I had a garden like this in the city, I would definitely wake up laughing every morning!

Ye Xuan thought silently in his heart, and his belief in returning to Lan Xing became a little stronger unconsciously.

The two of them came to the gate of the courtyard, stopped, and the guard said to Ye Xuan: "You are waiting here, I'll go and report it."

Ye Xuan clasped his fists and said, "I'm working hard!"
