Chapter 497: Rising to the Top
For the sake of safety, the two did not flee too far away, but just kept hiding their identities and doing some cover-up behaviors.
Although they are conspicuous, they can speak with one mouth, and others only think that they are old fritters walking in the rivers and lakes, and they can't be connected with the so-called demon concubine who "will set off a bloody storm to Caiguo" in the rumor.
In order to avoid the limelight, Shen Ling and Jing stayed in a small fishing village around where they had originally fled.
The people here have no experience of going far away, and what they have seen and heard is naturally surprisingly small, and what they say is what they say, Shen Ling sent the village chief with money and gave them a small courtyard where they could live, which can be regarded as a prosperous life.
The husband and wife work every day at sunrise and earn and rest, never mentioning what has happened, and when they have time, Jing Xi will continue to improve their cultivation, and most of them will still accompany Shen Ling.
"This place is not like the world, only farming can grow good things, just now I went outside for a walk, and found a lot of spiritual things, wait for me to call back to give you some."
Jing Ci shared with Shen Ling what he saw and heard at the moment, which surprised the latter.
She was dressed in white, with a silver hair ornament on her head, and occasionally spoke with a pleasant voice accompanied by the sound of the wind.
"Okay, then I'll wait here for you to come back." She smiled brightly, as if she were picturesque.
"By the way, I heard something today." Jing Ci's face suddenly became gloomy, and he looked at her with incredible eyes, but this didn't seem to be too eye-popping.
"I heard that since we left, Xiang Caiguo has been getting worse day by day, and has been successfully targeted by other countries, and soon they are in the bag, and now looking at the entire country on the interface, there are not too many strong countries, and it is the third ranked Yao Ri country that has recovered Xiang Caiguo, and they have obtained the most complete information about our escape."
Listening to Jing Xi's retelling, Shen Ling felt a little calm in his heart.
Hearing that Xiang Caiguo, who was bent on disrupting the chaos, finally had evil revenge, this was a great joy worthy of soberness, but this matter had little to do with them.
It's just that Yao Riguo got their information, which is not a good thing.
Before they could reply, there was a knock on their door.
It was an old lady who looked very kind, and she also carried a big fish in her hand.
"My son went fishing today, and he got a lot of fish, so I'm here to give you a little one, you are new to the village, you probably haven't tasted much of the fish in our village here, the meat is tender and fat, very good."
The fish in the old lady's hand also moved, which made Shen Ling's heart move, and she hurriedly accepted it and thanked her, "We really haven't tasted it, how fortunate we are to get it, thank you."
After speaking, she plucked a hairpin from her head and gave it to the old lady, which she brought from Xiang Caiguo, worth a thousand gold, in order not to swagger through the market, she has put away most of the treasures on her body.
The old lady received something, her mouth was full of joy, and after saying a few words of thanks, she pulled Shen Ling to say that she had known each other for many years, including the things that Jing Xi hadn't finished talking about before.
"You don't know what Yao Riguo wants to do, after they learned the news of Xiang Caiguo's decline, they actually made up their minds about the demon concubine and her guards who fled after Xiang Caiguo's move, guessing that they are not in the pool, they are the most powerful people in this world, so they have the heart to recruit them, let them out, and they will also marry the prince and the princess to them, and they will prescribe all kinds of favorable conditions, such as what treasures magic weapons, gold and silver treasures, there must be countless ones."
The old lady's words made Shen Ling fall into deep thought, she obviously said this in a mocking tone, but the latter couldn't be happy when she heard it.
It seems that they are once again drawn into strife, and the number of people who want to take advantage of them has increased.
The recruitment of talents that can be known to such rural ladies must be very exciting and real.
She sent the person away as if nothing had happened, and then looked at Jing Xi.
They can all hear about it now in the deep mountain town
, presumably the wind will be louder in the lively place.
"We can't go to the country of Japan and throw ourselves into the net, or we may repeat the mistakes of the past."
Shen Ling made up her mind to ignore this matter.
Recently, the continuous cultivation of the two of them has reached the point where they are almost able to get closer with a few resources, so that no matter what happens right now, it can't stop them from continuing to cultivate.
"You wait here for me first, I'll dig up those spiritual treasures in the wild, and plan other things after improving my cultivation." Jing Xi decided that no matter what happened, it had to be taken step by step.
After they finished eating the spiritual treasures in the wild, they could all feel that the cultivation on their bodies was greatly beneficial compared to before, and the spiritual energy was constantly lingering on their bodies, which was very good.
"When you went to grab the spirit treasure, I studied the nearby maps and rumors, although the Shuisi country is not as rich as the previous countries, but if we join in, it is enough, I heard that their lord is hospitable, and it is not as many rules as other countries, no one takes care of us here, it should be feasible."
Listening to Shen Ling's thoughts, Jing Xi nodded, and had no objection to this, "I've been here for a long time, and I really should change places, it's better to rely on you, it's good for us to go and see."
The two said they would go, and one of them held a sword in his arms, like a young couple walking the rivers and lakes.
Now that they have decided where to go, they naturally don't have to hide anymore, and boldly revealed their identities.
"We're going to participate in the jousting too."
Jing Ci put the sword in the registration office of the competition, and with a single sentence, you could hear that this person was not small.
The person in charge of sorting out the registration looked up at him, and he was unconvinced, but after personally feeling the aura emanating from him, he didn't dare to question anything else, and hurriedly arranged their registration after getting started.
According to their cultivation, this group of people who came to participate in the competition now was a piece of cake for them, and within a few rounds, they came to the fore, shocking the onlookers.
Especially the seamless cooperation between the two of them, it has almost reached the level of defeating the invincible opponent in the world, and several countries that vowed to win the first place are seeing that the good things they have are about to be gone.
This can make many countries red-eyed, and many people have thought of Xiang Cai through them.
"This is really the person who will provoke Xiang Caiguo into decline, but it's different."
