Chapter 1984: Separately
The group returned to the boat after lunch in the Maple River, and they continued their journey today.
Xiao Chen and the others took a big advantage this time, followed the Xu family's boat, and never even encountered a single water bandit along the way, and occasionally saw three or two small fish in the middle and lower reaches, but as soon as the crew waved a flag, the other party left first, and even the boat did not dare to approach.
The more upstream you go, the more obvious this kind of thing becomes, and even some passenger ships are walking far away and dare not get too close. This greatly facilitated their speed, and the road was unimpeded, and they even arrived at Baihua City half a day ahead of schedule.
As the largest city in the upper reaches, the wharf naturally does not smile, and the people of the Xu family may have been notified in advance, when the ship approached the wharf, there was already a large group of slave guards waiting on the shore, and as soon as they saw the ship approaching, they immediately came to greet them.
"Brother Xiao, Brother Yuan, Baihua City has arrived, you two want to go home with me and sit down. Xu Zixuan stood at the bow of the boat and invited the two.
Xiao Chen shook his head regretfully, "Brother Xu should have heard that Wumeng Valley is not calm now, I have to rush to Wumeng Valley as soon as possible, and if I have time another day, I will come to Baihua City to find Brother Xu again." ”
Yuan Jin patted Xu Zixuan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Sometimes we meet, and there is always a chance to see each other again in the future." ”
Xu Zixuan also knew that with the current state of Wumeng Valley, Xiao Chen was indeed not suitable for staying outside for too long, and he thought that Xiao Chen and his party were not many, so he took the initiative to say: "If Brother Xiao needs manpower, I can let some of the guards in the family go with Brother Xiao." ”
"Brother Xu doesn't have to worry, so many of us went to Wumeng Valley in the past, so naturally we came prepared, and we don't need additional manpower. Yuan Jindao pointed to the immortal punishment Muli and the others behind him.
Xu Zixuan glanced at a few people in surprise, and for the first time he used his divine sense to test the strength of a few people, and then found that except for Ada's realm, he couldn't see the realm of the rest of them at all.
Because of his weak body, Xu Zixuan's cultivation speed is also very slow, and he has not broken through the Tianyuan Realm until now, but he is only one step away from breaking through. If it is a realm that he can't see through, then it can only mean that the other party's realm is higher than him, which means that these people are all Tianyuan realm?!
Although it is not uncommon in the Tian Yuan Realm, the main thing is that the Immortal Punishment and his party look really too young, such a young Tian Yuan Realm will always make people think of those hidden big families, it seems that only such a big family with deep financial resources can cultivate such a genius.
However, even if it was a big family in Hundred Flowers City, if they wanted to have so many young Tianyuan Realms at once, Xu Zixuan had never seen it. Therefore, he had never used his divine sense to investigate before, and he only thought that they were all ordinary realms, but he never expected his strength to be so high.
"I'm underestimating the strength of a few of them. Xu Zixuan smiled and gathered the cloak on his body, although it was still summer and the weather was still hot, he didn't dare to wear too thick, but he couldn't wear too thin, his body would not be able to stand it.
"I'll have some of the crew send you to the Umeng Valley, and if you need help, let me know, and I'll do my best to help. Xu Zixuan bowed his hand to a few people.
Xiao Chen generously responded to Xu Zixuan's kindness, "I have spent the past few days on the boat, Brother Xu should go back and rest as soon as possible, if there is anything, we will look for you." ”
"Okay! Then Xu someone, just leave first, you take care!"
"Brother Xu, take care!"
Seeing Xu Zixuan's back disappear on the dock, Xiao Chen and the others returned to the boat, and the boatman and crew all received Xu Zixuan's order to send a few people to Wumeng Valley.
To say that when they first learned the news, the crew and boatmen were still a little apprehensive in their hearts, after all, they were in Hundred Flowers City, and they knew the news of Wumeng Valley best. Moreover, when there was civil strife in Wumeng Valley before, it also affected them, but fortunately, the city lord had set up a formation within the scope of Hundred Flowers City, which barely blocked that trouble.
But after hearing that Xiao Chen turned out to be the dark horse of this year's Six Nations Festival, the boatmen and crew were more curious about Xiao Chen, as well as worship, and people always had a strong mentality, but they were not so afraid.
Today the weather was not beautiful, just after noon, it began to rain lightly, and the speed of the boat slowed down.
Fortunately, because the boat was fast before, it had exceeded their expectations, and now it was only an hour away from Wumeng Valley, Xiao Chen was not in a hurry.
After the sun before, I had never encountered rain after walking on the long river for so many days, and it was sunny for several days, and this sudden rainy day was a bit rare for Xiao Chen. He came out of the cabin and stood on the deck, and a thin stream of rain fell on him, and the black horse soon became white.
A crew member happened to pass by, and seeing that Xiao Chen was drenched, he hurriedly took an umbrella and came over, "Venerable, you beware of catching a cold." ”
Xiao Chen glanced at him, saw the worry in the eyes of the crew, and thought of Xu Zixuan. These crew members have probably followed Xu Zixuan for too long, and they have forgotten that this little rain is nothing to the cultivators, not to mention this drizzle, it is a torrential rain, if Xiao Chen wants to, the slightest rain will not fall on him.
He didn't use his spiritual power, just because he wanted to feel the summer drizzle. However, this crew member was kind in the end, and thinking of Xu Zixuan's body, Xiao Chen did not refuse, but thanked the crew member and took the umbrella handed by the other party.
It was only after the crew finished speaking that they realized that they regarded Xiao Chen as their own young master, not to mention that Xiao Chen was already in the primordial realm, that is, the realm of plopping, his body was wet, he only needed to use his spiritual power to dry, and he would not catch a cold at all.
When he was embarrassed, Xiao Chen smiled and took the umbrella, which made the crew feel greatly moved, they didn't expect the Venerable to be such a kind person, their young master has such a good eye, this friend is so good!
After Xu Zixuan, who was missed, took a carriage through half of the Hundred Flowers City, he finally came to the City Lord's Mansion, his mother knew that he was back, and all the official business in his hands was thrown aside, and he stood at the door with his father waiting for him.
"My son has worked hard this time, and he has lost so much weight. ”
In front of outsiders, the iron-blooded and cold-faced Hundred Flowers City Lord will only show his soft side when facing his son, she grabbed Xu Zixuan's hand, looked Xu Zixuan up and down, and took the opportunity to check Xu Zixuan's pulse again, and noticed that the pulse was the same as before, she knew that her son had nothing to gain this time, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but she still made a happy appearance on her face.
Xu Zixuan noticed his mother's action of checking his pulse, and did not show anything unusual, so he pretended not to know, said hello to his parents, and talked about interesting things along the way, and the family of three looked very lively on the surface.
"Speaking of which, I wonder if my father and mother heard the rumors of the genius dark horse at this year's Six Nations Festival today?" Xu Zixuan asked.
The Hundred Flowers City Lord raised his eyebrows, "I thought it was just a rumor, what's the matter, what has Ah Xuan seen?"
