With a qiē in his heart that was concerned about Qingfeng City, Xu Ning's walking speed was very fast even at night, and when he encountered some narrow mountain passes and peaks, he simply used his flying martial arts to fly a long distance, completely ignoring the huge consumption of his body. He had already been soaked several times, but he didn't realize it, until after turning over the last mountain, the east gradually turned white, and a ray of sunlight appeared.

This mountain is a natural rain line, and after it passes, there is a feeling of cheerfulness, and the rainy weather has stopped here. Standing at the top of the hill, in front of you is a lush forest, and a river like a silver belt leads straight to the wharf of Hengzhou Bay. Once you arrive at Hengzhou Bay Wharf, it is only fifty miles away from Qingfeng City, so it is not a problem at all. Xu Ning shook the clothes on his body, letting the sun shine on the wet clothes, and his heart became more anxious.

"It's already close, so why rush?" Qianlong put away the dragonfly magic beast and stood beside Xu Ning.

"After a night's journey, let's take a rest!" The white fox was also a little tired and half-lying on the ground.

"Okay!" Xu Ning found a clean stone and sat down, then stood up again, still looking at the city in the distance.

Qingfeng City looked very calm from here, and the curling smoke rose like a light veil, this quiet scene somewhat made Xu Ning's heart feel more steady. I was indeed a little too nervous along the way, but it is understandable that I have been away for three months this time, and I have not received any news overseas.

"Xu Ning, if Qingfeng City, I mean, if something bad really happens to your Xu family, what will you do?" Qianlong asked suddenly.

"This ...... I haven't thought about it yet, it's just a cover-up. But I believe that with the power of the Xu family, those who want to come to bargain on this continent are asking for hardship. ”

"If you have that kind of confidence, you don't have to be afraid of anything." The white fox yawned and said.

"Yes, yes." Xu Ning smiled.

A short rest is very beneficial, at least the body is restored. The mood has also become a little more relaxed. This has to be said to be a big reason for the weather, after all, a person who stays in the rain all night will be very depressed.

After stepping onto the official road, a feeling of long-lost love arose, and the air contained the most authentic taste of the Soul Continent!

Such an alternate era!

Such an era of heroes!

Such a bizarre era!

Such an era of the jungle!

Such a generation full of fighting beliefs!

This time, Xu Ning did not bypass the main road, but walked along the official road openly, his current identity does not need to be concealed at all, in fact, as far as the coveting on the Soul Continent is concerned, he has been dormant for three months. I'm afraid I've long forgotten who Xu Ning is. When he traveled all the way to the Hengzhou Bay Wharf, Xu Ning felt that something was wrong.

There are too few people.

It doesn't matter if it's winter, because the river is frozen, there are few people, but at this moment, it is the hottest time of the year, and the five major families in Qingfeng City alone will be crowded with goods that need to be transported in the port every day. Now, there are a few boats scattered throughout the docks. There are also few people, pitiful.

Although Xu Ning was suspicious, it was not easy to say it in front of Qianlong. With skepticism. They turned and walked in the direction of Qingfeng City, a large road that did not need to be turned, and they could reach the main gate directly.

When he came to the city gate, Xu Ning arrived to comfort him a little, it was still prosperous. The shouts of buying and selling continued, and the noise was unusual. It was the first time for Qianlong to be in such a lively human world, so he also felt very fresh, Xu Ning simply acted as a guide and hid the white fox in his arms. As he walked, his tightly knit brows slowly relaxed.

"Xu Ning, did you really not find anything abnormal?"

After walking a few streets, in a secluded place, the white fox suddenly said in Xu Ning's arms.

Xu Ning and Qian Long were both stunned, the two of them only looked east and west, and had no time to care about anything else.

"Anomalous? No, Qingfeng City has always been like this. ”

"That's not right." The white fox came forward and said, "Our magic beasts are much more sensitive than you humans, although these people seem to be very ordinary, but they seem to be a little anxious, as if they are in a hurry to finish things and leave quickly." ”

"Of course." Xu Ning smiled and said: "People on the street naturally want to do things when they go out, who is not in a hurry?" ”

"I don't have anything to say if you think so, perhaps, I don't know enough about the human world!" The white fox said, "Anyway, I don't feel the same feelings from the two of you. ”

"Don't worry about it, this is Qingfeng City, I've lived here for more than ten years, if there's something out of the ordinary, I'll definitely find it."

Seeing that it was almost noon, Xu Ning planned to finish eating first and then go back to Xu's house, otherwise, the family would have to work for half a day.

"Qianlong, you will have to live in the Soul Continent in the future, so it's better to get used to the rules here as soon as possible." Xu Ning smiled and said, "Today will start with eating." ”

"Do you think of us elves as monsters who don't eat the fireworks of the world?" Qianlong said with a smile.

"Let's go, I'll take you to a better restaurant."

This is the first time I have returned to the Soul Continent to eat a decent meal, and I am inviting an elf guest like Qianlong, so naturally I can't slack off. The closest restaurant to here is the original Shangguan family's gluttonous village, and in Qingfeng City, the number of meals here is first-class.

"Not to mention, it's really useful to grab a handful of gold coins from the ones I grabbed on the road, if I still have another worldly space, you won't have a problem eating whatever you want." Xu Ning sighed, touched his arms, and when he left the place where the Lin family was robbed, he almost instinctively grabbed a handful of gold coins from the ground, intending to go to the Lin family to confirm it.

"This is where the trouble in your human world is, and you still need to pay for food."

"You elves never pay?"

"Because we never have to go to that place." Qianlong said.

This is the most natural diet of the elves, sometimes standing in the sun in the early morning, sucking wind and drinking dew can live. But humans can't, the essence of all kinds of plants and animals, and even monsters, needs to be constantly applied to the body. to be able to maintain normal needs.

"Little two, two VIPs, private room!" Xu Ning shouted loudly after entering the gluttonous village.

But his voice seemed very empty, and the shopkeeper was startled, and when he looked back, it was Xu Ning and Qianlong who came in.

Xu Ning also wondered. In broad daylight, there is not a single guest here! What's going on, is the gluttonous village going to close?

"Little Er, private room?! Did you hear that? Xu Ning waved his hand.

"Ah, two distinguished guests, do you want to eat?"

Xu Ning was happy and said, "Nonsense, why are you here for dinner, do you have a coffin here?" ”

That little two had a bitter look on his face. said: "Alas, there is no more to eat, but if there is a coffin, there is really a backyard, you just have to move it if you fall in love." ”

Xu Ning was stunned for a moment, this little second is not joking with himself! Where is there such a thing to talk to a guest!

"Boy, you haven't woken up yet!" Xu Ning said unhappily.

"Well, I can't tell you clearly. Come on, the boss is here. Let him tell you. ”

As soon as Xu Ning raised his head, a swarthy Humpty Dumpty man walked in, this person he knew, who was originally a member of the Shangguan family, called Shangguan Xiang, after Shangguan Yunyan took over the Shangguan family. Shangguan Xiang, who used to be a housekeeper, is in charge of the business of gluttonous township here.

"Black Fat Man, come here!" Xu Ning was not polite to him, and waved his hand to greet him.

Shangguan Xiang's eyes changed, and his already dark face became even darker, only to see him laugh a few times awkwardly. Quickly walked up to Xu Ning and said, "Two distinguished guests, what are you doing here?" ”

"I said you...... Shangguan Xiang, don't you know me?! Xu Ning smiled helplessly and said.

"This, there are a lot of customers in the small shop every day, and it is inevitable that this will be sent, you are ...... distinguished guest" Shangguan Xiang said here, as if he was courteous and came to Xu Ning's face, he suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Patriarch Xu, this place is not the place to speak, hurry up and detour to the back hall!" ”

Then he looked up, a flattering smile on his face.

Xu Ning's heart sank suddenly, and he glanced back at Qianlong lightly, and Qianlong also nodded.

"Alas, what kind of shabby restaurant is this, it is so kind to the guests, don't eat it and leave!" Xu Ning stood up angrily and left with Qianlong.

"White Fox, I think what you said may be right!" Xu Ning said in a low voice.

"Since the shopkeeper has asked you out, it's better to be careful to prevent people from watching you from the front and back!"

"Well, I know that there is an alley that can go directly to the back of the detour, follow me!"

Xu Ning and Qianlong walked out of the Gluttonous Country Residence with very dissatisfied expressions, and the door behind them was immediately closed.

Not only is it a gluttonous villager, Xu Ning found that on the streets in the distance, there are more and more shops that are closing.

"Whatever the reason, let's not startle the snake now, act fast!"

Xu Ning nodded at Qianlong, and the two of them moved quickly through the crowd, and disappeared after turning around.

A moment later, the two of them had already jumped in from outside the wall and landed in the backyard of the gluttonous village, the black fat man Shangguan Xiang had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and when he saw Xu Ning and Qianlong coming in, he hurriedly pulled them into the back kitchen.

The so-called back kitchen is not a place for simple cooking, but a large room that is very spacious. All the food in the Gluttonous Village is made from here, and the scene is very large, but many tables in front of me have fallen a layer of dust, and the stove is also cold, and there has been no life for a long time.

"Shangguan Xiang, what the hell are you doing?!" Xu Ning couldn't help but ask.

"My man, be quiet!" Shangguan Xiang seemed to be frightened, and said in a low voice: "Don't let those hermit cultivators hear it, otherwise, my life will be gone." ”

"What? Hermitage? Someone is going to kill you! Xu Ning was stunned.

"Alas, it's hard to say, the two of you sit down first, I'll go run for some tea, anyway, before sunset, you can't get out." Shangguan Xiang sighed and walked out.

After a while, the three of them sat down in the back kitchen, no one was drinking tea, Qianlong, as an outsider, understood the form in front of him at all, but Xu Ning felt that something should be in trouble.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Xu Ning frowned and asked.

"Alas, it's hard to put into words! In short, the current Qingfeng City has been controlled by that group of hidden cultivators, no matter who you are, you have to be at the mercy of that group of people, otherwise it will be a dead end! ”

"What bullshit!" Xu Ning suddenly became angry, "Five families?!" What are they for? ”

"It's good to be a member of the five major families, but, alas, the current five major families are also dead in name! As their status plummets, no one will take them seriously! ”

"What?!" (To be continued......)
