Ling Jiuqiu raised his wine glass and said politely:

"Mrs. Fang is polite, the two of us have similar strength, after arriving at the academy, we just help each other, not to mention caring for each other."

The two drank it all.

Fang Xianhui's father also raised his glass and said:

"Although Xianhui's strength is not as good as yours, after all, I am more familiar with Tongyuan City, and my family can still speak on this one-third of an acre, especially in the imperial court, our family has a wide range of connections."

"In case you encounter any trouble, and it is not convenient for you to deal with it, you don't have to be polite, just tell Xianhui."

Ling Jiuqiu raised his glass again: "Don't dare, if you really get into trouble, I will ask Xianhui for help, but I thanked Brother Xianhui in advance!" ”

Being able to grow up in his previous life made Jiuqiu not only ruthless, but also sleek and sophisticated.

Although he didn't like to socialize, in the face of the Fang family, one of the two great families in the Liancang Domain, it was naturally impossible for him to refuse the other party's kindness.

Before there is absolute strength, power and connections are also extremely powerful tools.

So, a few members of the Fang family who had the intention of getting closer to each other, and Ling Jiuqiu, who had the intention of increasing their contacts, complimented each other and toasted each other.

A reception banquet can be described as a joy for both guests and hosts.

……

Early the next morning.

Under the eyes of Fang Xianhui's parents and Fang Qingyi, Jiuqiu and Fang Xianhui rode away on horseback.

After leaving the city gates.

The two walked slowly with the flow of people.

"Brother Ling, I have a question I've always wanted to ask, but I don't know if to talk about it or not."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"You crossed more than a thousand miles from Yongquan City to Tongyuan City, this way you have to pass through the Taihang Mountains, among which there are countless bandits, although Brother Ling's talent and strength are amazing, but the danger on the way must not be small."

"As a true disciple of the Eight Directions Martial Arts Arena, it stands to reason that you should be extremely valued, why didn't the Martial Arts Arena arrange someone to escort you?"

Hearing this, Jiuqiu was stunned.

Then he hesitated.

"Perhaps, it's because I was able to break through to the Spirit Sea Realm before I set off, so I was ready to set off before I had time to make arrangements."

The True Martial Mixed Yuan Gong he cultivated was originally sent by Inspector Su because he was awarded the number of True Disciple in advance.

If you want to arrange an escort, wait for the Su Inspector to report, and then arrange someone to come over, I am afraid that he will already be halfway by then.

Fang Xianhui looked at him in surprise: "Did you just break through the Spirit Sea Realm before you set off?" ”

"That's right." Ling Jiuqiu nodded, and then looked at the other party in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”

Fang Xianhui opened his mouth, and was about to ask the other party's cultivation and practice realm, but he thought that these were personal secrets, and the two met for the first time, so it was really difficult to ask directly.

He finally shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just curiosity." ”

But he muttered quietly in his heart.

"From this point of view, he and I have broken through for about the same time, and the cultivation should also be a heavy spiritual sea realm, and the martial arts realm is only a heavy at most."

"Sure enough, between us, it's only because of the gap in the realm of martial arts brought about by comprehension, so he can be slightly better than me."

What he never imagined was that the martial soul used by Ling Jiuqiu in the battle yesterday was only a ground-level low-grade ink scale sword, and in terms of combat amplification ability, it was far inferior to the dragon's spine sword of a heaven-level martial soul.

The difference between the two is nearly double!

In other words, if the two of them have the same conditions in all other aspects, and the attack ability is doubled, it will definitely be an easy situation!

If it weren't for Ling Jiuqiu surpassing him in cultivation and exercises, I'm afraid that the battle would have been won with a lot of difficulty.

The two of them chatted while riding.

It wasn't until the number of passers-by became scarcer and sparse that the two began to gallop and speed up.

The journey was uneventful.

Towards evening, a huge city that looks like a giant beast is in sight.

On the main road, more and more pedestrians converged from all directions, forming a long human dragon that spread for several kilometers and led to the direction of Tongyuan City.

The two of them also slowed down and walked slowly into the crowd.

"Along the way, for more than 200 kilometers, not a single bandit has been seen, and it is a world of difference from the Taihang Mountains."

Ling Jiuqiu couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing this, Fang Xianhui couldn't help laughing.

"Ruidong City is the base camp of the Fang family, and Tongyuan City is the main city of Liancang Domain, in this area, where is there a living space for bandits."

"What's more, now that the opening of the Yanlong Martial Arts Academy is approaching, there are many strong people who come and go, and even if there are occasional bandits who don't know what to do on weekdays, they don't dare to come out and be presumptuous at this time, otherwise they don't know how to die."

"That's just as well."

Ling Jiuqiu sighed with emotion, and his eyes swept over the surrounding crowd.

I saw a large number of warriors with weapons on their backs, strong figures, and cold expressions.

or on horseback, or walking, slowly following the flow of people in the direction of Tongyuan City.

Anyone can see that these people are not easy to mess with.

If the bandits really attack and kill these people, I am afraid that the mortality rate will be much higher than usual, and if he is the leader of the bandits, it is estimated that he will also avoid this time.

Ling Jiuqiu and the others rode high-headed horses, and they were not very conspicuous in the crowd.

As the distance gets closer.

The outline of Tongyuan City is also becoming clearer and clearer.

"That's Tongyuan City."

"This is the main city of the Liancang Domain, and it is also the largest city in the entire Liancang Domain, with an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers and a permanent population of up to millions."

Fang Xianhui introduced with a little pride.

In his opinion, Ling Jiuqiu was born in a remote town like Yongquan City, and he had never seen such a majestic main city as Tongyuan City, so he would definitely be stunned.

It's not about talent.

A person's background and insight are slowly accumulated over a long period of life.

Ling Jiuqiu's talent is indeed stronger than him, but his background and insight are definitely not as good as him.

Although there is no need to ridicule the other party because of this, it can also allow him to seek a little psychological solace in failure.

However, when Fang Xianhui looked at Ling Jiuqiu, he saw that the latter's face was indifferent, looking at the giant city in the distance, and said calmly: "It's really good." ”

“？？？”

Fang Xianhui looked at Ling Jiuqiu, and then at the majestic giant city in the distance, one of the buildings, even if they were separated by several kilometers, they were particularly spectacular.

I think that at the beginning, when he first came to Tongyuan City, he was shocked by the majestic atmosphere of Tongyuan City.

How can you, a child of a small family in a remote place, have never seen much of the world, how can you behave so calmly?

"Oh! That's right! ”

"He must have pretended to be calm, so as not to lose face in front of me, but in fact, his heart was already shocked to numbness."

Thinking about all this, Fang Xianhui couldn't help snickering: "I didn't expect you to have a good face." ”

However, he didn't mean to expose it, he just continued to talk to Ling Jiuqiu casually.
