Today's Yujia City is gone, the wind and shudder the day before, and there are many more monks walking on the street than when Shi Wu passed through Zhuguang Pavilion to Ding Ke's mansion.

As for whether the Yujia City has really returned to peace or the undercurrent is surging, it has nothing to do with Shi Wu, who is now showing his nephew as Ding Ke.

Zhou Ran took him to the store selling Tianxiang Longbing Candy. When she passed by other stores, she would take the initiative to introduce Shi Wu what these stores sold.

Shi Wu found that the woman with a sweet appearance and a curved smile did not look down on him because of his shallow knowledge, and also enjoyed the process of introducing these items to him.

Shi Wu learned a lot of things that only exist in the northern part of the Inner Implicit Realm. In fact, what he wants to know most now is whether the northern part of the Inner Implicit Realm, like Du He said, uses spirit stones as trading chips. He also heard that there was something called fairy jade among the rewards given by Yu Wuxi, and he also wanted to know what it was. But based on Lao Zhou paying attention to Ding Ke yesterday, Zhou Ran's invitation today inevitably made Shi Wu feel a lot of doubts, so he was not convenient to ask directly. He decided to pay attention to what the other party used to pay when Zhou Ran invited him to eat Tianxiang Long Wing Candy.

After they turned to another main street, they saw two long dragons lined up outside a five-story building.

When Zhou Ran took Shi Wu's platoon to the right, Shi Wu raised his head and saw the three words "Tianxiang Pavilion" written on the spirit stone plaque of the tall building in front of him. Although Shi Wu could not see the inside of the high building clearly, he used his perception of spiritual power and his ear power to detect that the guests sitting on the side of the street above were looking down at them as scenery.

Shi Wu lowered his head and said, "The business in Tianxiang Pavilion is so good."

"Yes, because the boss of Tianxiang Pavilion is a lower-grade spiritual chef who passed the Lingchen Alliance assessment. The five-story building you saw was originally on the lower floor, and there were more and more customers coming from behind, so the building was built higher and higher." Zhou Ran said with some knowledge.

Shi Wu said curiously: "I wonder which spiritual meal is the best in Tianxiang Pavilion?"

Zhou Ran thought for a while and said, "It should be the mid-level Tianxiang Cloud Wing Stew. This spiritual meal can permanently increase the speed of Kongming and the god-refining cultivators who are taken."

When Shi Wu heard that it was spiritual food that increased the speed of Kong Ming and the god-refining cultivator, he lost interest.

Seeing that Shi Wu only asked the best spiritual meal here but did not ask the price of this spiritual meal, Zhou Ran thought Shi Wu felt inferior, and she explained: "That day's Xiangyun Wing Stew was not very effective for us. There are also many spiritual meal snacks in Tianxiang Pavilion, such as the Tianxiang Long Wing Candy I mentioned to you. It is not only delicious but also nourishes our spiritual veins."

Shi Wu took the opportunity to say, "How about we go and eat something else, this must be very expensive."

Zhou Ran laughed, and she took out twelve spiritual stones and said, "Don't worry, I said yesterday that I was treating you to eat. The fragrant dragon beard candy is not expensive this day, just six medium-grade spiritual stones are just used."

Shi Wu saw that the size and quality of each of the twelve spirit stones that Zhou Ran took out from the storage bag were the same as the top-grade spirit stones in the outer hidden world, but she said that these were medium-grade spirit stones. In other words, the spirit stones here are one level higher than the outer hidden world. Shi Wu thought to himself: "It seems that the spirit stone grades in the north and east of the inner hidden world are unified, and now I don't know what the immortal jade is."

It took only two minutes for Shi Wu and the other two to walk from Ding Ke's mansion to this Tianxiang Pavilion, but they lined up outside Tianxiang Pavilion for half an hour. After they finally arrived at the counter set up by Tianxiang Pavilion, Zhou Ran handed over the twelve spiritual stones in his hand and said, "Master Huang, I want two Tianxiang Dragon Beard Candy."

The long-faced man named Master Huang took the spirit stone and gave Zhou Ran a wooden sign: "Okay, take the sign and find a seat inside."

Zhou Ran said thanking and led Shi Wu into the hall on the ground floor.

The bottom floor of this huge Tianxiang Pavilion has 30% more spiritual power than the Yujia City outside. After Shi Wu walked in, he sighed in his heart that the difference in spiritual power between the external hidden world and the internal hidden world.

Zhou Ran said as he walked: "A Nuan, there are 600 square tables on the bottom floor, which can accommodate 2,400 guests to have a meal at the same time. Let's see where there is a seat."

Shi Wu was still not used to being called "A Nuan" by others, which made him unconsciously think of A Si, because it was A Si's call at the beginning. Shi Wu was still thinking about his old friends in the mortal world and the outer hidden world, so Zhou Ran pulled him to a square table and sat down.

After sitting down, Zhou Ran took the initiative to say hello to a man and a woman on the table.

The two of them did not come together, and the bottom of Tianxiang Pavilion has always had the habit of composeing tables, so the two of them didn't even look at Zhou Ran, nodded and continued to eat the snacks on their table.

Seeing Shi Wu looking at the guests who went up the second floor, Zhou Ran joked: "The spirit stones on me are not enough to invite you to eat on the second floor."

Shi Wu withdrew his gaze and smiled, "When I make a comeback, I will invite you to eat on the second floor or higher floor."

Zhou Ran smiled and said, "I remember what you said, but don't let me wait too long."

"By the way, Uncle Ding and Uncle Zhou usually go up to higher floors to eat?" Shi Wu asked in a low voice.

There were so many people here, Zhou Ran just replied: "They did go up and eat it."

Another female cultivator on the table couldn't help but glance at them when she heard their conversation. It was normal when she looked at Zhou Ran, but when she saw Shi Wu, who was handsome and handsome, she couldn't help but stop there. Her inexplicable affection for Shi Wu and her jealousy for Zhou Ran were also born in her heart. When she felt Zhou Ran's gaze, she felt embarrassed to continue eating the dessert in the bowl, but she still couldn't help but secretly glance at Shi Wu.

Shi Wu also noticed the female cultivator's attention to him. He said in his heart: "At that time, I still envied Uncle Fourth for so many girls who liked him. Now it's my turn, and I suddenly felt that this was not a good thing. If it weren't for sure whether the method of changing shapes would be seen by the person in charge of the teleportation channel of Zhuguang Pavilion, I would have changed my appearance before it was uploaded. It seems that I have to find someone I trust to test it in the future. The method of changing shapes is very practical whether it is against enemies or traveling outside."

Zhou Ran found that the female cultivator even slowed down after seeing Shi Wu's face. She smiled and said, "A Nuan, our Tianxiang Longbing Candy is here."

Shi Wu also wanted to ask Zhou Ran how he knew, but he saw Zhou Ran give the wooden sign to the hospitality servant who brought Tianxiang Longbing Candy.

The hospitality servant said respectfully: "Please use it slowly, two guests."

Zhou Ran handed Shi Wu the Tianxiang Longbow Candy wrapped in triangular paper: "A Nuan, try it or not."

Shi Wu took the triangular paper bag and picked up a long strip that looked like a bamboo stick inside.

The hundred half-foot-long sugar silks strung together in long strips floated lightly in front of Shi Wu like dragon beards.

Shi Wu saw that there was a faint fire-type spiritual power outside each candy silk, which not only ensured that the hundred candy silks were not entangled, but also allowed the monks to taste the liquid-like sugar silk that was nourished by the fire-type spiritual power. Shi Wu knew that the Xianglong-bearded candy was the least to start eating from the bottom, because this bite would cause the sugar silk inside to splash out from the bitten place. But he picked up the long strip and prepared to eat it from the bottom.

The female cultivator who had developed a good impression of Shi Wu because of his appearance before saw that Shi Wu would not even eat Tianxiang Longbing Candy. She was surprised and thought that Zhou Ran said that she invited Shi Wu to eat. The female cultivator couldn't help but regard Shi Wu as a little white-faced person who was kept by Zhou Ran. Her admiration came and went quickly, and now she even felt a sense of disgust.

Zhou Ran saw Shi Wu want to bite from the bottom, and she hurriedly persuaded her: "A Nuan, this is not what dragon beard candies are eaten. You can use spiritual power to cut off these dragon beards and eat them, or you can eat them directly from the front of the wooden stick. But don't bite them under the dragon beard candies in one bite. The candy silk here is actually liquid, and if you bite like this, it will splash."

After hearing this, Shi Wu put down the raised Tianxiang Dragon Beard Candy. He bit off the dragon beard candy from more than a dozen pieces from the front of the wooden stick, and then whispered it into his mouth like eating noodles.

Shi Wu's way of eating not only made the female cultivator speechless on the table, but even the male cultivator wondered where the country man came from.

Shi Wu finished eating the whole dragon beard candy under the contempt of the two. He licked the wooden sign and said, "This dragon beard candy has a unique sweet smell, and the amount of these hundred candy shreds is just right, so it makes people feel tired after eating it. It's just that the price is a bit expensive, and one actually costs six medium-grade spirit stones."

Zhou Ran said disapprovingly: "Just like it."

The hospitality servant on the side saw that Shi Wu had finished eating, and he came over to Shi Wu and said, "Does this guest want to order something else?"

Shi Wu shook his head and said, "No need."

The hospitality servant said, "If this is the case, please go aside or outside first. We have many guests waiting for seats here."

"But my friend hasn't finished eating yet, and I'm with her. Isn't this okay?" Shi Wu asked.

The hospitality servant's eyes flashed with disdain, but he still said, "You have also seen the situation here. We will not let the guests who have not finished eating leave, but usually the guests who have finished eating will give up their seats by themselves."

Shi Wu heard the other party's meaning, and he thought that he was now from a small town from Kaiyang County, so he would rather be tolerant at this time. So he stood up hurriedly: "Xiaoran, I'll wait for you outside."

Shi Wu's actions made the men and women on the table feel the impression of him again and again. They all felt sorry for this good skin that was born on Shi Wu.

After Shi Wu finished speaking, Zhou Ran packed the remaining Tianxiang Long Whisper Candy with triangular paper and stood up and said, "A Nuan, this sugar is a little bit greasy today. I feel a toothache after half of it. Let's go together."

"Okay." After Shi Wu said that, he walked out of Tianxiang Pavilion with Zhou Ran.

Looking at the two long queues still lined up outside, Zhou Ran's face showed a sense of loneliness.

Shi Wu noticed Zhou Ran's expression and took the initiative to apologize: "Xiaoran, I'm sorry, I'm embarrassing you."

Zhou Ran shook his head and said, "There is nothing embarrassing. A Nuan, is your hometown beautiful?"

Shi Wu had previously suspected that Zhou Ran was the deliberate arrangement of taking care of him in this way, in order to check out the abnormalities of Ding Ke from him. After all, although his face is good, the shallowness and submissiveness he showed will not make people like this. This can be seen from the attitude of the female cultivator at the same table just now. At this time, when he heard Zhou Ran ask about his hometown for no reason, Shi Wu said more vigilantly: "It's beautiful! Although my hometown is not as prosperous as the Yujia City, in my heart, it is the most beautiful."

Zhou Ran laughed and said, "It turns out that A Nuan is a nostalgic person."

"What about you? Is your hometown beautiful?" Shi Wu asked back.

Zhou Ran tried hard to recall: "I can't remember what my hometown looks like. My father took my mother and I away from my hometown when I was six years old to Yujia City. I only remember that my hometown is called Hongfeng Town, and every autumn there will be large patches of red maple leaves falling."

Shi Wudao: "Why don't Uncle Zhou take you back to see you when you miss your hometown so much?"

"Because my father likes life in Yujia City, he thinks Hongfeng Town is too remote and not worth going back." Zhou Ran said, "But my father never asked me and my mother if I like it. When my mother and I were just picked up, I didn't even dare to go out. We were exactly the same as you at that time, and we were afraid to embarrass my father outside. Later, my father taught us how to live here, and we gradually adapted. The principle that my father told me and my mother to keep in mind was to endure, and don't argue with others no matter what happens outside."

No matter what Zhou Ran’s purpose was for him, Shi Wu felt that what she said now was all from the sincerity. He didn’t know how to comfort Zhou Ran, but he could only say: “Maybe this is life, either being influenced by others or affecting others.”

Zhou Ran recalled Shi Wu's words: "You said it well."

Shi Wu smiled and said, "Then you should adapt now, after all, you have the ability to take into account my feelings."

Zhou Ran also laughed: "I just want you to have a good impression of this Yujia City."

Shi Wu said with a deep meaning: "My best impression of this Yujia City is you."

Zhou Ran said with a blushing cheek: "Do you always coax people like this in Kaiyang County?"

"I have never coaxed people like this in Kaiyang County." Shi Wu replied.

Shi Wu is not from Kaiyang County at all, so what he said is indeed the truth. But he also felt guilty when he said it, because his identity itself is the biggest lie.

"Okay, I'll believe you." Zhou Ran said, then took out a green jade pendant and handed it to Shi Wu. "A Nuan, this is my voice-transmitting jade pendant. You can tell me if you want to come out to play in the future or have any worries."

Through the "Nine Transformation Spiritual Art", Shi Wu sensed that the jade pendant was emitting faint spiritual power outward, which means that the jade pendant not only has the effect of transmitting sounds but also displaying the position. He then hung the jade pendant on his waist and said, "Okay."

The two of them walked around for a while and then Zhou Ran received a message from her father, saying that it was not peaceful in the city and asked her to go back earlier.

After hearing this, Shi Wu said that he should go back for a long time after coming out.

Zhou Ran first sent Shi Wu to Ding Ke's mansion. With Shi Wu's thanks, she returned to her home along the long alley.

The house of Lao Zhou is much larger than that of Ding Ke’s family. In addition to having two bungalows, there are also some spiritual plants in the yard.

When Lao Zhou, who was taking care of the spiritual plants, saw his daughter coming back, he asked, "How is it? Did anything come out of that boy's mouth?"

Zhou Ran sat on the wooden bench in the yard and said, "Not yet. He is just an unsavvy silly boy, and he has a novelty about everything. I didn't have time to find something about Uncle Ding from his mouth."

Lao Zhou put away the magic weapon used to prune the spiritual plant, and he said, "Lao Ding's condition was very wrong yesterday. Especially when he heard me that the person who was detected to have the array ring star stone would be killed by the city lord to refine the gods, he was like losing his soul! Zhuguang Pavilion is just south of the travel gate, and I suspected that the array ring star stone was taken away by Lao Ding."

Zhou Ran said in confusion: "But did the city lord say that the ring star stone was taken away by a monk named Lu who was passed away from the Travel Gate? Moreover, the ring star stone of the city lord Zhang had not yet discovered that Uncle Ding and Feng Nuan were abnormal."

"What the people above said is the most unreliable. Yu Wuxi spent so many good things yesterday but did not get the array ring star stone. Do you think he would be so kind to tell the monks in the city to the news? I think that most of the monks surnamed Lu don't exist. As for Zhang Xian you mentioned, he is the one with the biggest problem. When he used the array ring star stone to detect, his star stone flew to the middle of our third line of Zhuguang Pavilion and the one on the right. I suspect he was tampering with the star stone." Old Zhou made a speculation based on Ding Ke's strangeness and the results of yesterday's detection.

Zhou Ran didn't think so: "Dad, are you thinking too much? Uncle Ding might just be scared."

"Absolutely impossible! With Ding Ke's nature, it's just that seeing others being killed and refined souls will definitely not make him react. The more I think about it now, the more I feel that Feng Nuan said that boy was just to help Ding Ke get rid of him. So you must contact that boy more and try to find some useful news from him." Old Zhou said.

Zhou Ran agreed, "Dad, I have given him the voice transmission jade pendant you prepared, and I will also contact him more. However, if you can find useful information, you will not be able to do it accurately."

Old Zhou took out a jade plate, and a light spot showed Zhou Ran's position, and a light spot flashed northwest of Zhou Ran. He handed the jade plate to Zhou Ran and said, "Ding Ke's greatest wish in his life is to become a god-refining cultivator. If he gets that array ring star stone, he will definitely find a way to go to Zhuguang Pavilion elsewhere to auction the array ring star stone. I can't do anything on him, so I can only use Feng Nuan. The jade pendant not only serves as a voice transmission, but also shows the wearer's position within a range of 5,000 miles. You can watch it for me, and if you find that they have gone to the Travel Gate or go out of the Yujia City, you must notify me immediately!"

Zhou Ran took Yupan helplessly and said, "Daughter knows."

Old Zhou looked at Zhou Ran and said, "You won't really fall in love with that boy, are you?"

Zhou Ran smiled and said, "How is this possible? You should know that my vision has always been very high. The god-refining monk is the partner of me. If the shallow monks who came out of the small town had not asked me to contact him, I would not even say much to him."
