Chapter 1479
As the saying goes, one may know a person for a long time without understanding their true nature.
During his time in the Fu Clan, he had treated Xiao Hua very well, but who knew what he was thinking?
Perhaps he wanted to win Xiao Hua over and make him conceal his true nature.
But the problem was, this kind of winning over wasn't reliable. If the Fu Clan offered a greater temptation, would Xiao Hua be at ease?
Even if Xiao Hua only wanted peace and quiet, the best outcome would be to fish in troubled waters. He had never thought of exposing the Fu Clan, but he didn't know who the Fu Clan was.
Moreover, the Fu Clan was aware of the Fu Clan's inheritance. If the Fu Clan found out, only death awaited. Therefore, the most appropriate thing to do was to … get rid of Xiao Hua!
After understanding this, Xiao Hua sneered inwardly. When he first met the Fu Clan, he was only in the seventh layer of the Qi Refining realm. Now that two years had passed, the Fu Clan was at most in the eighth layer of the Qi Refining realm. Ever since Xiao Hua killed Cai Yingxia and other seventh layer cultivators, he had a certain understanding of his own strength. He wasn't afraid of the Fu Clan, so he smiled and said to Ye Xuguang, "I arrived at Jinhua Mountain at the same time as Senior Martial Brother He and also met the same senior martial sister. I'm afraid Senior Martial Brother He loves the house and its crow."
"In short, it's fate. If Fellow Daoist Xiao succeeds in the Fu Clan in the future, don't forget about us!" Ming Sui said meaningfully.
"Haha, let's wait until we return to Senior Martial Brother He. I still want to hug his thigh!"
Xiao Hua laughed heartily as he flew out of Jinhua Mountain. Ming Sui and Ye Xuguang also laughed as they followed him.
It took nearly ten days to travel from Jinhua Mountain to Jianyu Mountain through the Transporting Formation. A round trip would take twenty days, not including the time to teleport to other places. The Fu Clan's talisman craftsmen definitely didn't have enough time. Therefore, Xiao Hua and the others headed to the Transporting Formation in Siyue Town, which was only four days away from Jinhua Mountain.
Xiao Hua had never been to Siyue Town before, but Ming Sui and Ye Xuguang had come from the teleportation array there. Xiao Hua didn't need to worry about it. Four days passed quickly. On the evening of the fourth day, when the lights were lit, Xiao Hua and the others arrived at the west side of Siyue Town. Before Ye Xuguang could tell Xiao Hua the location of the teleportation array, a figure flew in front of Xiao Hua and the others!
"Eh, there seems to be …" Xiao Hua was slightly stunned when he saw the figure, and he raised his voice. "Is that Fellow Daoist Xuanlan?"
When the figure heard the call, she paused for a moment. Soon after, she stopped in mid-air and turned around. It was Xuanlan, who was practicing talisman crafting with Xiao Hua.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan, why … did you also ask for leave?" Xiao Huafei cupped his hands and smiled.
"Why can't I ask for leave?" Xuanlan glanced at Xiao Hua and said very unhappily.
Xiao Hua blinked his eyes and said, "Since Senior Brother Fu thinks so highly of you, why don't you practice more in Jinhua Mountain?
Isn't it a waste of time to ask for leave? "
"Senior Brother Fu doesn't think highly of you?" Xuan Lan asked.
"Me?"
Xiao Hua touched his nose and didn't answer. He pointed his finger and said, "This is Fellow Daoist Ye Xuguang and Fellow Daoist Ming Sui, who are next to my residence."
Then, he introduced Xuanlan. "This is Fellow Daoist Xuanlan, who is practicing talisman crafting with me!"
After the three of them greeted each other, Ming Sui smiled and said, "I wonder where Fellow Daoist Xuanlan wants to go. If we stay together, we can take care of each other!"
Xuanlan shook her head and said, "I don't have a specific place I want to go. I just feel that after staying in Jinhua Mountain for so long, I want to go out for a walk.
If the three of you have something to do, you can do as you please. I don't want to disturb you! "
"En, since it's like this, we were too reckless!" Ye Xuguang smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuanlan, please go first."
"Okay, I will take my leave!" Xuanlan didn't hold back. She cupped her hands towards the three of them and flew towards the teleportation array.
After Xuanlan left, Ye Xuguang and Ming Sui glanced at each other and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you have to face this kind of Fellow Daoist Xuanlan every day. It's really hard on you!"
"Of course, when you think about Senior Brother He, it's really like the difference between the clouds and mud!" Xiao Hua laughed and said, feeling a bit closer to Ye Xuguang and Ming Sui.
After a while, Xiao Hua also said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, Fellow Daoist Ming, I also have to go to the Town of Thought Yue to take care of some things. Let's part ways here!"
Ming Sui and Ye Xuguang smiled and said, "We know. We'll go first. You can come back later!"
Xiao Hua smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists, please!"
Ming Sui and Ye Xuguang cupped their hands and said goodbye to Xiao Hua before flying towards the teleportation array. Xiao Hua also walked towards the Town of Thought Yue. After a while, Xiao Hua found a secluded place and wore the camouflage before slowly flying towards the teleportation array.
Although it was already night time, there were still many people using the teleportation array. The Town of Thought Yue's teleportation array was much more convenient than the one in Yanyuan City. At the very least, there was no need to make an appointment. Xiao Hua only took out a high-grade spirit stone and said that he was from Shallow Speech City. He was then led into the teleportation array and teleported together with two cultivators who didn't seem to be from the Fu Clan.
Shallow Speech City's teleportation array seemed to be underground. When Xiao Hua opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a huge pillar. That pillar was inlaid with more than ten head-sized moonstones, brightly illuminating the surroundings of the teleportation array!
Xiao Hua looked at the cultivator sitting on the ground next to him and calmly walked out of the teleportation array. Next to the teleportation array were a few people who looked like city guards. When they saw Xiao Hua's actions, their faces immediately showed respect.
"Fellow cultivator, I would like to teleport to Yanyuan City, may I …" Xiao Hua walked in front of one of the city guards and cupped his hands.
"Senior, please know that you need to make an appointment to go to Yanyuan City. I'm afraid you can't do it today!" The city guard quickly bowed in return.
"Eh?
Why is Yanyuan City still like this?
Is it not over yet? "Xiao Hua's tone turned cold.
"That's not it, senior. Although the incident at Yanyuan City is not over yet, it is not as tense as it was two months ago. Cultivators who use the teleportation array do not need to show their true faces."
The city guard quickly explained, "However, because Shallow Speech City is quite far from Yanyuan City, it costs too many spirit stones to teleport each time. Therefore, we have to wait until there are more people going … before we can teleport once!"
Xiao Hua waved his hand and said, "This old man naturally knows this.
Hmm, check how many people have made an appointment to Yanyuan City? "
"Senior, please wait a moment. The number of cultivators going to Yanyuan City has indeed decreased recently …" The city guard turned and left. After a while, he turned back and said with a smile, "What a coincidence. There are four cultivators going to Yanyuan City tomorrow afternoon. Including senior, there will be five cultivators!"
"Alright." Xiao Hua clapped his hands and took out a high-grade spirit stone. He said, "Do I need to leave my name?"
The city guard quickly waved his hand, "Since senior has already given me the spirit stone in advance, there is naturally no need to leave your name!"
"Hmm ~" The city guard took the spirit stone and handed over a token. He smiled and said, "Your Shallow Speech City is much stronger than Yanyuan City!"
"Senior, thank you for your praise. This is all because of our City Lord Mo's good management!" The city guard smiled and said, "Senior only needs to come tomorrow afternoon and give this token to the city guard!"
"Alright!" Xiao Hua took the token, turned and walked out of the teleportation array.
When he reached the surface, it was already late at night. Xiao Hua looked left and right. Not far away, there was an inn. Xiao Hua asked for the price and found a room to stay in.
The night passed uneventfully. Xiao Hua only came out of his room when it was close to noon the next day. Although it was Xiao Hua's first time in Shallow Speech City, he didn't want to cause trouble and didn't plan to walk around.
However, just as he walked out of the inn, he heard a familiar voice behind him ask, "Waiter, how do I get to Yueming Temple?"
"Eh?
Enemies really don't meet! "Xiao Hua thought to himself. That voice wasn't just anyone, it was Xuanlan who was walking up and down in a straight line.
Xiao Hua didn't turn back. He walked to the entrance of the inn and stood still, pretending to look around.
"Senior immortal knows. When you go out, walk straight south. When you see the shop taught by Xunyan, head west …" The waiter was eloquent and said a lot in one breath. Xiao Hua felt dizzy listening to him. Xuanlan smiled and said, "Thank you, waiter!"
That waiter was very flattered and repeatedly said that he didn't dare.
Xuanlan quickly walked out of the inn and looked at Xiao Hua who was standing at the side. Her face showed a trace of vigilance. She walked a few steps and secretly turned back. Seeing Xiao Hua slowly walking in the direction of the teleportation array, she felt relieved. She hurriedly walked according to the waiter's instructions.
"Hmm, this Xuanlan doesn't have a fixed place right?
Why would she want to go to Yueming Temple just by walking around? "
Xiao Hua only had a fleeting thought. What Xuanlan did had nothing to do with him. Why would he worry about her for no reason?
The buildings in Shallow Speech City were different from those in Yanyuan City. They were all built with huge bluestones and the distance between them was very large. The inn wasn't far from the teleportation array, but the bluestone road between them was more than twice as long as the one in Yanyuan City.
Xiao Hua looked at the various people on the bluestone road and then looked at the many shops with different styles. He thought to himself, "I wonder if Shallow Speech City is one of the top ten cities in the country of Xi. When I return from Xunyan Cult and see if I have enough time, I'll take a look around and broaden my horizons!"
The teleportation array was also built with bluestones and its shape was very strange. Huge bluestones slanted above the building and pointed in all directions. At first glance, it looked like a hedgehog.
Xiao Hua walked to the entrance of the teleportation array. The city guard stepped forward to block him and bowed politely. Xiao Hua didn't answer and took out the token from yesterday.
"Senior, please wait a moment!"
The city guard also took out a magic tool that looked like a disk and placed the token on it. A layer of faint green flashed and some words appeared on the token. The city guard looked at it and kept it in his sleeve. He raised his hand and said, "Senior, please. The three seniors heading to Yanyuan City have already arrived. They can be teleported in a moment!"
"Eh?
It's already noon and there are still people not here?
Could it be … "Xiao Hua frowned slightly.
"This is not something this humble one can know!" The city guard respectfully led Xiao Hua to a guest hall and turned to leave.
