anwhile, Ling Chuxi and the company she was travelling with were still continuing to rush to the Ding Lin Country capital. Along the way, nothing else happened and their journey was very peaceful. A few days later, they successfully arrived at Ding Lin Country’s capital.
In the midst of the envoy flags of Nan Xia, a banner reading, “Iron Mouth And Divine Tooth Number One Fortune Teller Under The Heavens” was even more eye-catching and it drew odd gazes from quite a few people. Even Ling Chuxi and the rest of those who rode in carriages were too embarrassed to draw the curtains. If people were to see who were, their reputations would be thoroughly thrown out the window.
It was good that Li Shaoqiu and Jiang Wuhen also knew how to act according to the situation and shortly after entering the city, they left the envoy to go brag about themselves and cheat whoever they could.
The people from the Gao family’s Chamber of Comrce had been following the envoy from behind at a suitable distance, and at this ti, they also ca forward to bid farewell to Ling Chuxi. Gao Wentian did not say much before leaving and had only said as much as a sentence, asking Ling Chuxi to let him know if there was ever a ti where she needed his help and he would definitely do his best.
“Miss Ling, should we head to the post house now?” Zhou Zhidong asked. Before they left, the emperor had only asked him to send Ling Chuxi and Mo Kongyuan safely to Ding Lin Country’s capital but had not ntioned anything else.
Ling Chuxi looked at Mo Kongyuan in consultation. She, too, did not know where they should go first.
“Go to Wu Feng Hall. Those other old monsters should have arrived already. I will bring you to et them first,” Mo Kongyuan said.
“All right,” obeyed Zhou Zhidong, carrying his complicated emotions as he led the envoy towards Wu Feng Hall.
Wu Feng Hall was the pride of Ding Lin Country, but the sha of a few vassal countries. For many years, Ding Lin Country had held onto its position as the sovereign country reigning over the other vassal countries because aside from having a strong and prosperous country as well as a reputable guardian, Wu Feng Hall’s rit was key. After all, their guardian would not easily make controversial moves and many dark matters were all completed by Wu Feng Hall alone in the shadows.
What was more shaful was that each country’s young top talents and notable citizens were threatened or enticed by Wu Feng Hall to join them under the Wu Feng Hall banner once they initially gained so fa by using all kinds of despicable thods. In such a situation where one gains and everyone else loses, various countries were currently experiencing a wide gap in talents who weren’t too young nor too old. Due to this, Zhou Zhidong also naturally did not have any good feelings towards Wu Feng Hall. However, like many others, even if he did not have any good feelings towards them, he was powerless to change such a situation.
Just as they reached the doorway of Wu Feng Hall, another heavily guarded carriage ca driving over.
Both parties stopped at the sa ti. Mo Kongyuan and Lin Cangbo got off their carriage and another old man got off the carriage opposite theirs. This old man’s figure was tall, big in build and majestic. Just by simply standing there, he gave off a strong suppression.
“Old Monster Xie, you’re here too,” Lin Cangbo said with a smile. The tall old man was none other than the guardian of Shang Yuan country, Xie Wuji. Along the way, Mo Kongyuan and Lin Cangbo had ntioned him, but they never thought that the first guardian they would et upon arrival at Wu Feng Hall would turn out to be him.
“Aren’t you all also already here? Can’t I be here too?” Xie Wuji said with his nose pointed towards the sky.
“Tianying, Chuxi, this is Shang Yuan Country’s Mister Xie.” As they interacted along the journey here, Lin Cangbo and Ling Chuxi also had gotten familiar, therefore her introduced both Ling Chuxi and Xiao Tianying on a first-na basis.
“Junior Xiao Tianying greets Mister Xie.”
“Junior Ling Chuxi greets Mister Xie.”
Ling Chuxi and Xiao Tianying both bowed and said their greetings.
“So, you are Ling Chuxi?” remarked Xie Wuji without even turning his head as he sized up Ling Chuxi with the corners of his eyes.
“Yes, I am Ling Chuxi.” Ling Chuxi felt a little odd. She did not seem to know him and therefore should never have had the chance to offend him. What did this expression he had on an? Seeing how he looked with his nose pointed to the sky, it really made one want to stuff two peanuts into his nostrils. Furthermore, given the size of his nostrils, Ling Chuxi was confident she definitely could stuff them in if she tried.
