Liu Ruo is such a person.

He looks graceful and lazy, but he doesn't make people feel sluggish.

He followed the old man with a high-profile demeanor into the pergola, and after greeting his uncle, he sat down on a chair specially prepared for him, and took a sip of tea.

At the same time, his nonchalant demeanor made one feel that he was listening to the conversation of the people in the pergola.

When Lao Zhenren and Prime Minister Zhao Chengxiang talked to him, he would simply and politely reply with a sentence or two, and if no one asked him to talk, he would not take the initiative to speak.

After a simple greeting, Prime Minister Zhao Cheng led a few people back to the city, saying that the concubine was still waiting for Liu Ruo in the palace.

A group of people came out of the pergola again, divided the carriage and walked to the capital.

The group stayed in those pergolas for less than half an hour.

Bai Nanxiang sat beside Lin Jin, looking at the gorgeously built pergolas behind her through the window connecting the small world with the outside world, and shook her head secretly.

I don't know how much time it took to build a shed in this way, but it was just a convenient place for these dignitaries to settle down when they received people.

Today, these pergolas are in ruins.

The cost of building such a few pergolas is almost enough to feed a family of five for two or three years, not counting the specially prepared refreshments.

The gap between the rich and the poor can be seen from this, Bai Nanxiang is used to suffering, looking at such a luxury waste, I only feel that my heart hurts and my flesh hurts.

I secretly felt that although I was under the same blue sky as those people, I was not in the same world.

Because of this thought, when I thought of the fairy-like Liu Ruo just now, I felt more and more that the person from that background and myself were like two worlds.

For her, Liu Ruo has become a beautiful picture that can be admired but separated by a layer of illusion.

Because the prime minister and his entourage were also there, the last five miles into Jingzhou were extremely slow.

About a quarter of an hour later, several carriages came to the foot of Jingzhou City.

The sun was shining brightly in the middle of the sky.

On the head of the tall city gate, the huge word Jingzhou reflects the bright sunlight, which looks both majestic and magnificent.

It has the momentum of a national capital.

Bai Nanxiang sat in the carriage and watched the huge peach blossom tree walk towards the city gate, the smaller it became, and it was just the size to pass through the city gate.

Bai Nanxiang and their carriage followed not far behind the peach tree, looking at the scene in front of them, Bai Nanxiang couldn't help but ask Lin Jin on the side curiously.

"What does the peach tree look like in the eyes of ordinary people?"

At this time, there were only three people in the small world: Lin Sheng, Lin Jin, and Bai Nanxiang.

With Lin Sheng's permission, the four of them have already gotten into their own carriages, and they will go home to stay overnight, and they will go to Songjian Academy to make peace with Lin Sheng and them tomorrow.

Lin Jin was meditating under the pomegranate tree, and when he heard Bai Nanxiang's question, he replied directly.

"See for yourself."

After getting such a reply, Bai Nanxiang looked at the outside of the small world again, only to see that the peach tree in front of her eyes was gone, and there was a row of carriages inlaid with gold and inlaid treasures with elegant lines.

It turned out that the peach tree was transformed into an ordinary carriage, and it was the same swagger.

Bai Nanxiang shook her head secretly, only to feel that this scene was not as interesting as the previous peach tree.

This thought fell in his heart, and the carriage in front of him turned into the appearance of a peach tree again.

It was also this divine effort, and Bai Nanxiang's car had already entered the city gate.

For a while, the cries of nearby vendors, the aroma of the restaurant's food, mixed with the sound of people's conversations, the noise and noise converged into the sound of a well, and poured into the carriage.

Bai Nanxiang looked at the bustling flow of people outside the carriage, the wooden building with wine flags, the ready-to-wear shops with brocade clothes, and the small stalls full of preserved fruits......

I only feel that the inside and outside of the city gate are like two worlds, the outside of the city is solemn, and the city is lively.

This is Jingzhou.

Matsuma Academy, on the west side of the Imperial City, is a courtyard surrounded by a tall wall.

The courtyard is very large, and the carriage is at one end of the courtyard wall, and it is hard to see where the other end of the courtyard wall is along the straight street.

The main entrance of the academy opens to the south, facing the central street that runs through the capital.

Three vermilion lacquered wooden gates, above which hang the plaque given by the founding ancestor of Xia Huaguo.

The middle gate is closed, and the left side is open, and there is a special person waiting outside.

As soon as Bai Nanxiang's carriage stopped, someone greeted him and took the invitation, and a person who looked like a steward saw the invitation and immediately greeted him, with a courteous smile on his face.

"Mr. Lin Da, please come in quickly, the mountain chief and a few gentlemen have been waiting for a long time, but unfortunately a few guests have just come and are meeting guests at the moment, so I will send someone to invite them."

As he spoke, he turned around and glanced at the little guy behind him without greeting, and the man lifted his feet and walked briskly towards the academy.

The steward led them into the academy through the side door.

Different from the deserted Cuiwei Academy, on the blue brick paved path in Songjian Academy, there are maids and maids from time to time, or carrying food boxes or hanging their hands, walking lightly.

Seeing Bai Nanxiang and his party, they would stand on the side of the road, bow their heads, and wait for the guests to go first.

There are many people living in a big house, and it is quiet and quiet all the way, and it is not noisy at all.

Bai Nanxiang and the three of them were arranged into a small courtyard, and the academy also arranged a few maids and wives to wait for a few people.

"A few people will rest for a while, and the mountain chief will be there soon."

After saying that, the steward also retreated.

said that it would arrive immediately, but Lin Sheng, Lin Jin, and Bai Nanxiang didn't take the words of the manager seriously.

The guests before them were Liu Ruo and his party.

Liu Ruo worshiped under the sect of Shangshan Zhenren five years ago, and Shangshan is one of the four elders of Penglai Island.

Xiahua's top Inhuman organization in China has four courtyards, eight factions, one mountain and one island, one of which refers to Kunlun, and the other island is Penglai.

As for Cuiwei Academy and Songjian Academy, they belong to two of the four colleges, and the other two colleges are Wuli Academy in Huizhou and Tianxi Academy in Hanoi.

The eight factions are the Miaotong faction in Shannan, the Linglong Gate in Huainan, a Qing in Qianzhong, the Xuanjian Gate in Jiangzuo, the Qinyun Gate in Guannei, the Xiyi in Hanoi, the Hechen Sword in Jiannan, and the Tianzuo Gate in Yizhou.

Among the four sects and eight factions, one mountain and one island are respected, and the four courtyards are before the eight factions.

But this ranking is already a century-old calendar, and with the change of strength of several factions in the past hundred years, these rankings are no longer so valuable for reference.

The most obvious is Cuiwei.

If it weren't for the fact that Old Man Hua was one of the best in the entire Inhuman World, and he single-handedly provoked the reputation of the entire sect, the Cuiwei faction might have already been removed from the four sects and eight sects because they had not been in the world for a long time.

But even now it is still in the position of the four sects and eight factions, and its status is no longer what it used to be.

For example, today, although the steward said that he was beautiful, in the end, there was only one steward who Lin Sheng of Cuiwei personally received.

Penglai's group, led by Shangshan and Liu Ruo, went to the palace, and at the moment there were only a few Taoist masters and apprentices in Songma Academy.

That's the case, the mountain chief of Matsuma Academy and a group of gentlemen, also chose to receive Penglai and his party first.

Bai Nanxiang estimated that the reason why Lin Sheng slowed down the speed of the carriage after entering Jingzhou and let Penglai enter the pine room was probably because he didn't want the two waves of people to be embarrassed together.

Probably this is not the first time he has encountered such a situation.
