With Xiao Yuan's speed, it didn't take much time to reach Tianhuang City, but within just one day, he could vaguely see the outline of Tianhuang City.
“This is the Tianhuang City you are talking about?”
Just as Xiao Yuan stopped and looked at the corner of the city covered in lush greenery in the distance, a familiar voice called out. There was a cold sound in my ears.
Xiao Yuan turned his head and saw Cai Lin, who was wearing a red dress and robe, looking at the corner of the city in the distance, and his flawless profile came into his eyes.
"Well, this is it. You should have some impression of Liu Qing, right? His family is here."
Xiao Yuan smiled and said.
"Yes."
Hearing this, the charming beauty nodded slightly, but her face still had the look of a queen pretending to be indifferent.
Xiao Yuan has long been used to this.
This woman said she was harsh, but she was still kind to him. When she was in the space wormhole before, although she didn't show up, Xiao Yuan could feel that she was by his side.
"Let's go into the city together."
With a chuckle, Xiao Yuan reached out to grab Cai Lin's hand, but there was nothing there.
"Humph! I am not a little girl, and I won't play that little trick of holding hands with you!"
The voice echoed in my ears, but the person had disappeared.
“Which Douzong strongman uses the power of space for this kind of thing?”
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan shook his head helplessly, and immediately appeared in a seemingly empty area beside him. He grabbed a piece of snow-white wrist into his hand.
“Let go!”
The beauty in the red dress was caught by Xiao Yuan from the shield of the power of space. She was also stunned subconsciously, but she quickly reacted with a pretty face. Weihan scolded in a cold voice.
"Cailin, I have been thinking about it for two months, and finally figured it out."
Xiao Yuan looked serious and did not let go of the beauty in his hand.
"What you said before makes sense. Now I have some strength. If you don't threaten me, you have no reason to stay by my side. So, I thought of a reason for you."
Hearing Xiao Yuan's words, Cailin was startled subconsciously, then frowned and asked indifferently:
"What reason?"
Xiao Yuan gave a weird smile and said : "You don't want the snake people to return to the depths of the Tagore Desert, right? If you don't follow me, I will drive them back to the desert!"
"You dare!"
Hearing this, Cai Lin seemed to have regained the temperament of Queen Medusa, and immediately raised her eyebrows and said angrily.
“Do you think I dare?”
Xiao Yuan got a little closer and his expression became cold.
“You won’t.”
Cailin suddenly showed a seductive smile, turned around and fell towards the city below.
"."
Xiao Yuan sighed on the spot after hearing this, and then chased after him helplessly.
Cailin couldn't kill him, and of course he couldn't really use this kind of thing as a bargaining chip to get along with each other.
"Okay, okay, you can't threaten me, and I can't threaten you, can't we live in harmony?"
Xiao Yuan chased after him and continued to reach out for the beauty's little hand.
"Hmph, why should I live in harmony with you, a human being?"
Cailin was as stubborn as ever.
But Xiao Yuan knew clearly that no matter how tough his mouth was, he would still be soft when kissing.
So he didn't care about this and took her slender hand.
"Then why did you follow me when I left?"
Xiao Yuan pulled Cai Lin and asked with a smile while flying downward.
"I was just along for the ride. I didn't think about where I was going, so I hitched a ride. If you don't want to, I can just leave."
Cailin turned her head to the other side. , snorted coldly.
"How can you not, you know, it is impossible for me to drive you away."
Xiao Yuan smiled and pulled the proud queen to the ground.
Approaching the city, the majestic city wall appeared in front of the two people with a sense of severity. Under the towering city gate, there was an endless flow of people coming and going, and the atmosphere was full of noise.
The two of them walked in, and what they saw was a spacious street with almost endless shops on both sides. The heads of black crows and their noisy voices turned into a huge sound wave and spread. .
The two of them did not hide their appearance, so their two beautiful faces and perfect bodies dazzled the crowd like flashlights in the dark night.
There are many vague or obvious sights thrown around, with different meanings.
After grabbing a passerby and asking about the location of the Liu family, Xiao Yuan took Cai Lin and went straight to the Liu family.
After passing through several extremely long streets and passing through several corners, an extremely vast manor appeared within their sight.
This manor is extremely vast, and outside the manor at this moment, there are almost all guards with weapons standing, and their vigilant eyes are constantly scanning the surroundings.
Seeing the tight defense of the manor, before Xiao Yuan could say anything, the beauty on the side said for the first time: "It seems that your old friend has encountered some trouble."
Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think anything of it. With him here, what trouble would there be?
"Let me go up and ask." Xiao Yuan thought for a while, and after greeting Cailin, he stepped forward, clasped his fists towards the guard at the door and said, "Hello, I am Liu Qing Zaijia. Friends from South College, please report this.”
"Friends of the head of the family?"
Hearing this, the guard glanced at Xiao Yuan and Cai Lin in the distance with some doubts, and was a little surprised at their appearance, and then returned the greeting. Finally, he said: "Now the family head and the Cheng family are fighting for the management rights of the space wormhole. Both families have brought many people to the square in the center of the city. Unfortunately, I am on guard today and cannot go there to help."< br>
"Why is this? I heard that the management rights of this space wormhole are not rotated every year? Why is there a fight?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan frowned again, He asked doubtfully to the guard in front of him.
"It's not the Cheng family who is causing trouble. Our Liu family just handed over the management rights to them last month, but for some reason, they suddenly want to take the management rights back!"
When this was mentioned The guard's face was full of indignation.
"Is that so?"
Xiao Yuan nodded thoughtfully, and then turned around and pulled Cai Lin towards the center of the city after thanking the guard.
In the center of Tianhuang City, there is an extremely spacious bluestone square. In the center of the square is a stone platform. On the stone platform, a huge dark space wormhole is slowly rotating, an astonishing space flow Fluctuations spread out from it.
The area around the square was now almost occupied by a dense sea of people. The noisy sound was like a magical sound, making people's eardrums hurt. Countless curious eyes were looking at the center of the square, where two waves of people were confronting each other. among.
"Cheng Yao, this year's space wormhole is under the control of my Liu family. What do you mean by your actions today?"
Among the wave of people on the left, the leader He is a sturdy man with a resolute face, and there is a vague feeling of calmness and self-power. This kind of face is vaguely familiar. If you look closely, who else can it be besides Liu Qing? ?
Today's Liu Qing no longer has the vigor of the past, replaced by a kind of calmness. After all, what the Liu family needs is a qualified clan leader, not a hot-blooded young boy.
Behind Liu Qing, there were two old men with white hair and beards. They stood casually, but they had a majestic aura that rippled quietly, making people dare not underestimate them in the slightest. , In addition, there is a plump, mature and charming body next to her. This woman is dressed in red and has a peach-shaped face. She is full of temptation and looks very attractive to men. And this pretty face, for Xiao Yuan Lailai is a bit unfamiliar. She should be Liu Qing's sister Liu Fei. Xiao Yuan is not familiar with her, but she did have some minor frictions with Xiao Yan in the inner courtyard.
Today, Liu Fei is becoming more and more attractive, like a ripe peach, causing many men outside the square to look away unconsciously.
"Hey, Liu Qing, speaking of which, you are still a generation younger than me. You can't be so rude when talking to your elders."
Across from Liu Qing and others, there was also a large group of people. The leader of the men with fierce faces was a middle-aged man. He glanced at Liu Qing with a dark look, and then smiled strangely.
Hearing this, Liu Qing sneered and was about to speak when an old voice suddenly sounded from the square.
“This is my latest order from the Burning Flame Valley.”
Hearing the voice, countless eyes in the field immediately turned away, only to see an old man wearing a red robe, standing hunched over, with many red spots on his old face.
"Elder Chihuo of Fenyan Valley?"
Seeing this old man, a series of exclamations suddenly sounded in the square, and the faces of Liu Qing and the two old men behind him also turned slightly. As soon as he changed, he immediately handed over his hand and said politely: "It turns out to be Elder Chihuo. I wonder what this latest order means? Our Liu family has just taken over the management of the space wormhole. This period should be one year, right?" "
"The Valley Master issued an order to invite some high-level alchemists to the Burning Flame Valley to help him refine an elixir. However, he has not been able to find a suitable candidate so far, so he issued it. If anyone can find it, The high-level alchemist has given the management rights of the space wormhole to his family, and this effect will last for three years."
The old man known as Elder Chihuo said calmly.
"The Cheng family has found a sixth-grade alchemist who has been certified by the Dan Pagoda. If you, the Liu family, can also find it and ask him to follow me to the Burning Flame Valley, this space wormhole can also be handed over to you, and time Extended from one year to three years."
Elder Chihuo pointed his finger in the direction of the Cheng family, where an old man wearing a purple alchemist's robe was standing proudly with his hands behind his back.
"Sixth-grade alchemist?"
Hearing this, Liu Qing's expression also changed. There are indeed alchemists in his Liu family, but the highest one is only a fifth-grade alchemist. High-quality alchemists have never appeared before. After all, alchemists of that level can get a good salary even in forces such as Burning Flame Valley. Who would come to them who say big or small? Family?
"Elder Chihuo, this happened too suddenly. Can you give me the Liu family a few days? I will definitely try my best to find the sixth-grade alchemist!"
His face changed for a while, and Liu Qing could not act as domineeringly as he did in the inner courtyard, so he could only grit his teeth and say.
Elder Chihuo shook his head, and his tone was still calm: "This is an order given by the Valley Master himself. Who dares to delay? Let alone your Liu family, even I don't have that ability. , If your Liu family cannot hire a sixth-grade alchemist within today, then you will hand over the management of the space wormhole to the Cheng family."
Seeing Elder Chihuo showing no mercy. , Liu Qing's face was also quite embarrassed, and his fists were clenched. Where could he find a sixth-grade alchemist in one day? Do you really think that a sixth-grade alchemist is just a cabbage? An alchemist of this level, even in the Dan Pagoda, can be considered to be close to the cutting-edge in power.
“This old immortal must have accepted a gift from the Cheng family!”
Behind Liu Qing, Liu Fei gritted her silver teeth and said extremely angrily.
"Shut up!" Liu Qing's face darkened, and when Liu Fei saw this, she could only stomp her feet aggrievedly and stopped talking.
"What should we do? Two elders." Turning his head, Liu Qing looked at the two old men behind him and sighed.
Hearing this, the two old men also gave a bitter smile and said: "Last week, we also heard vaguely that Fenyan Valley seemed to be looking for a high-level alchemist, but we didn't take it seriously. Thinking about it, Fei'er is right to be afraid. Someone should have informed the Cheng family a long time ago. I have also heard about this sixth-grade alchemist. It is said that he is a senior alchemist who has been promoted to the sixth-grade alchemist for a long time. , It’s hard to find someone with a higher level than him in Huang City today.”
Hearing what the two said, Liu Qing’s heart sank, and his fists clenched tightly, and the space was filled. The wormhole is too important to the Liu family. It is a huge amount of income. With this income as a foundation, the Liu family can recruit more capable people and expand their power. But if it is taken away by the Cheng family this time, then Their development progress will inevitably stagnate.
"Haha, nephew Liu, it's better not to think too much and hand over the management of the space wormhole with peace of mind. If I am happy in the future, maybe I can let the Liu family share some soup." The middle-aged man named Cheng Yao couldn't help but smile strangely when he saw Liu Qing's changed expression.
Liu Qing's face turned livid when he heard the other party's sarcastic words. However, now that he is the patriarch of the Liu family, every move he makes must be considered for the family. At the moment, he can only suppress the rage in his heart and bite unwillingly. Gritting his teeth, he said in a gloomy voice: "Cheng Yao, you're going to be cruel this time! Let's go!"
"Leave? Isn't this the style of Liu Qing, the tyrant in the inner courtyard?"
Just when Liu Qing turned around, a familiar laughter sounded in the sky.
Liu Qing frowned when he heard this. Why is this voice so familiar?
Liu Fei on the side raised her head, looked at the young man in white in the sky, and opened her eyes wide.
Then, she pulled Liu Qing's clothes and said with some ecstasy: "Brother, it seems to be Xiao Yuan!"
"Xiao Yuan?"
Hearing this, Liu Qing raised his head. , but they saw a young man in white coming from the sky. He took one step and flashed in front of them.
"Walking in the air, a strong Douzong master. Have you really reached this point!?"
After seeing that the familiar and handsome young man in front of him turned out to be a Douzong, Liu Qing suddenly remembered the rumors about the Han family some time ago, and finally confirmed that the young man in front of him was Xiao Yuan, who had made Fenglei Pavilion miserable.
"Liu Qing, long time no see. How are you?"
Xiao Yuan greeted with a smile. (End of this chapter)
