Chapter 18: The Poorest Nation
Just like what was agreed at the beginning, half a month later, the people of the sea are really back.
In order to prepare for this Ten Kingdoms Sword Cultivation Exchange Competition, the people of Hai Wuya not only brought out the most luxurious hovercar in the sect, but also brought many potential disciples with them.
The next generation of disciples of the Lishui Sword Sect are Fu Tianlin, Long Wen, Lu Fei, and Lin Huaiyu. And the disciples of the Phantom Sword Sect are naturally Su Yafeng, the once-in-a-century genius of the Phantom Sword Sect, and Li Qingyuan, who has a very high IQ.
As for the Sword Transformation Sect, Liu Yunfeng only brought Mei Ting among the new disciples, and as for the other three who followed, they were all elder-level figures who were a generation higher than Ye Feng and the others.
The three elders of the Huajian Sect were all between thirty and forty years old, and their ages were generally much younger than the elders of the Lishui Sword Sect.
Seeing the elders of the Sword Transformation Sect, Ye Feng understood why with the strength of the Transformation Sword Sect, he could also rank among the four major sects.
The strength of the new disciples of the Huajian Sect is generally a little weaker, but the disciples of the previous generation are quite strong.
If it weren't for this generation, monsters like Ye Feng and He Huan appeared in the Lishui Sword Sect, I'm afraid that the limelight of the Sword Sect would be more prosperous than that of the Lishui Sword Sect.
In addition to the elders brought by the Sword Sect, Wu Hao also brought out five elder-level figures from his own sect. With Wu Hao's flamboyant personality, everything naturally has to show the limelight, and this time Wu Hao naturally brought out the youngest elder of the Illusion Sect, but also had the strength of the Sword King.
The team composed of more than a dozen Sword King powerhouses was unprecedentedly large.
Thinking that such a group of people was about to go to the Thousand Feathers Country thousands of miles away, even He Huan, whose heart was like an ancient well, showed a trace of fanaticism in his eyes.
After the vitality car left Xianhe Town and rushed into the sky, Ye Feng turned around.
His eyes swept over Su Yafeng, who was sitting in the carriage of the Illusory Sword Sect's Yuan Qi car, and he didn't dare to breathe, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
About a year ago, Su Yafeng, who had the strength of an eighth-level swordsman, was still his self-confessed great enemy in life.
And now, he and Su Yafeng, who has the strength of a third-level sword master, are no longer people on the same level.
After stepping into the realm of the Sword King powerhouse, Ye Feng's thoughts and touches will no longer be limited to the world in front of him, and what he knows and thinks will no longer be the same as Su Yafeng and other sword master powerhouses.
The Yuan Qi car was galloping towards the east at an extremely fast speed, and when he found that the direction in which the Yuan Qi car was traveling was not the southeast where the Thousand Feather Country was located, Ye Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Sect Master, where are we going?" Ye Feng asked.
In fact, it was not only Ye Feng who was puzzled in his heart, but in addition to the four sect masters, everyone accompanying him was also extremely confused.
The Thousand Feather Country is the strongest and richest country in the ten countries in the southeast, and everyone knows the location of the Thousand Feather Country very well, but at this moment, the direction of the vitality car is exactly the opposite of the Thousand Feather Country.
When others ask, the sea may not be able to explain. The person who could ask was Ye Feng, and Hai Wuya would definitely not be able to ignore the question of this young genius who could be called the hope of the entire Yin Shang Kingdom.
"Let's take a detour to Xiuyun Country first, and pick up the masters of Xiuyun Country to participate in the Southeast Ten Nations Competition. Hai Wuya said with a smile.
"Xiuyun Kingdom?" Ye Feng was slightly stunned and stopped talking, but Longwen, who was sitting in the same hovering car as him, Lu Fei, was surprised in his expression.
Xiuyun is the country with the smallest land area and the most serious desertification environment in China among the ten southeastern countries.
With the family background of Longwen and the others, they naturally knew that Xiuyun Country was the poorest country among the ten southeastern countries, but they didn't know that Xiuyun Country and Yin Shang Country had always maintained a good relationship.
After a day and a night of flight, the Yuanqi car flew away from the Yin Shang Kingdom and entered the territory of Xiuyun Kingdom.
Looking at the scene of the yellow sand and smoke covering the sun under the vitality car, Ye Feng and the others couldn't help frowning.
Accustomed to seeing the beautiful environment of Yin Shang Country, they really couldn't adapt to such a desolate scene for a while.
Seeing that there were still extremely simple sand buildings in the towns that the Yuanqi car passed by, the eyes of the Longman people were full of astonishment.
Without seeing the land of poverty, they can never imagine what the real barrenness looks like.
In Xiuyun Country, a bowl of clear water is as high as one tael of silver, and the water that ordinary people want to drink every day is half a bowl of water, half a bowl of muddy and dirty water.
The Genki car stopped at the edge of the imperial capital of Xiuyun Kingdom.
As soon as the car stopped, dozens of sword cultivators wearing earthy brown clothes and carrying long swords stepped forward.
When those sword cultivators came to the outside of the vitality car, Ye Feng and the others found that the clothes they were wearing were not earthy brown, but their bodies were covered with wind and sand, and they were stained with a layer of dust.
The leader of the sword cultivation was a middle-aged man with a thin body and a sallow complexion, as if he had been malnourished for many years.
After seeing the people of Hai Wuya, the middle-aged man immediately bowed deeply to them and said, "Sect masters, I'm really sorry, and I want to trouble you to take a detour. ”
The humility of the middle-aged man made Ye Feng feel very incredible.
From the momentum released from the middle-aged man, everyone could feel that the strength of the middle-aged man should be similar to that of the sea. is such a strong sword king, but he gives people a feeling of extreme humility.
The humility of the middle-aged man made Hai Wuya and the other four sect masters laugh loudly.
Nor was he polite to the middle-aged man, Hai Wuya directly welcomed the middle-aged man and the three disciples he brought into the vitality car.
Under Hai Wuya's introduction, Ye Feng knew that this middle-aged man named Han Yuan was actually the strongest man in Xiuyun Kingdom, the ninth-level peak sword king.
It's just that Han Yuan's humble momentum really can't be reminiscent of him being the most prominent person in a country except for the monarch.
The three disciples brought by Han Yuan were all similar in age to Ye Feng, and they all had the strength of a fifth-level sword master.
His gaze swept over the faces of the three Xiuyun Kingdom sword cultivators in turn, and Ye Feng found that the temperament of these three sword cultivators was almost the same as Han Yuan, humble and cowardly, especially one of them, who had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and looked like a sword cultivator dressed as a man, and under Ye Feng's gaze, he actually lowered his head in shame.
The wealth of the country is the strength of the people, and the people can hold their heads high in front of the people, and Han Yuan and others, although they are also masters, but because of the poverty of Xiuyun Country, they are afraid to act timidly and dare not straighten their chests.
After inviting Han Won to take a seat, Hai Wuya instructed Longman to deliver two fruit bowls piled high with fruits.
This kind of fruit, which can only become a dessert after a meal for the people in Yin Shang Kingdom, has become a peerless delicacy in the eyes of the four people in Xiuyun Kingdom.
Seeing that Han Yuan and the four of them were just staring at the fruit plate, but no one was going to take it, Hai Wuya couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
He and Han Won have known each other for more than a day or two, but every time he sees Han Won like this, he still can't stop sighing.
Hai Wuya picked up four apples from the fruit bowl and handed them to the four won respectively.
Holding the smooth surface of the apple, the red fluttering apple, none of the four Han Won were willing to open their mouths to eat it.
The sword cultivator who had already made Ye Feng see that it was a woman disguised as a man, and he carefully wiped the apple with his shirt, and then took it into his arms.
The woman's movements fell into Hai Wuya's eyes, which made Hai Wuya stunned for a moment, and asked, "This little girl, ...... are you?"
Hai Wuya's question immediately made the woman nervous.
She took out the apple in a panic and said with a wince, "Sect Master Hai, I'...... I ......"
After holding back for a long time, tears appeared in the woman's eyes, but she still did not make it clear the intention of her actions.
Seeing that the woman looked like she was about to cry, Han Yuan sighed and said, "Brother Hai, in fact, you don't blame Xiao Nan. We Xiuyun even have a problem with draft in China, let alone seeing apples. I know Xiao Nan's thoughts, she must want to bring this apple back to Xiuyun Country and give it to her younger brothers and sisters to taste. ”
Quietly, the interior of the car becomes particularly quiet.
Everyone who was still puzzled just now couldn't help but freeze in place when they heard Han won's explanation.
Among all the people, the one with the worst family background is probably Ye Feng. But even so, Ye Feng had never heard of such a ridiculous joke that an apple was given to his younger brothers and sisters to eat.
Even people from well-off families like Ye Feng have never heard of such strange things, and the people of Longman, who were born in a wealthy family, would never have heard of such a thing.
Thinking of the pigs raised in their farmhouse, I am afraid that they have eaten enough apples, Longman and everyone felt a sour feeling in their hearts at the same time.
If you don't know the poor, you will never know what the life of the poor will be like. While everyone sighed in their hearts, they couldn't help but be in awe of Han Yuan and others.
No matter how poor he is, he is not so poor that he loses his dignity and face. The fact that the Han Won people were able to raise their strength to such a level in such a harsh environment in Xiuyun Country was enough to be respected.
He Huan, who had always sat on the side and had never even opened his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes like electricity.
Scarlet eyes scanned Han Yuan's bodies for a week, and He Huan suddenly stood up and placed the fruit plate in front of the woman named Xiao Nan.
"Eat. When you go back, I will have someone bring you a cart of fruit, and you must let your parents, younger brothers and sisters eat this fruit. He Huan's voice was cold, but it was difficult to hide the tenderness inside.
Hearing He Huan's words, all the people in Longman nodded silently, and Lu Fei, who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, agreed that when the Sword Cultivation Trial Competition was over, he would ask his family to send tons of fruits to Xiuyun Kingdom.
Looking at He Huan with a cold expression, Xiao Nan's eyes flashed with crystal tears.
She didn't say much thanks, just quietly took out the apple in her arms, carefully ate it one bite at a time.
Seeing that Xiao Nan and everyone began to eat fruits, He Huan returned to his seat again.
Sitting down in his seat, he closed his eyes again and silently guided the flow of vitality in his body.
He Huan's performance made Ye Feng a little puzzled.
His eyes quietly glanced at He Huan, seeing that he was no different from usual, Ye Feng's bottom of his heart couldn't help but be even worse.
Among them, only He Huan's family background is the most mysterious. Thinking that since the day he met He Huan, he had never heard that He Huan had a family, Ye Feng couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
The disciples who were able to enter the inner courtyard of the Lishui Sword Sect, the three generations of their ancestors were probably thoroughly investigated by the Sword Sect, but why was He Huan's life experience never mentioned?
