Seeing those people run away in the blink of an eye, Han Xiao shrugged his shoulders and turned around to see Li Lian looking at him with a gentle gaze. He suddenly felt a chill and said, "What's wrong? We're also leaving together, I can't just watch as something happens to you."

"Senior Han, I actually understand." Li Lian lowered her head and said with a blushing face.

"No, I think you definitely misunderstood." Han Xiao waved his hand and said.

"It's alright, Senior Han doesn't need to explain." As Li Lian finished speaking, she took the initiative to grab Han Xiao's hand and pull him along as she ran forward, thus Han Xiao wanted to say that he had misunderstood her.

After that, Li Lian crazily ran around the street for a long time before finally finding an inn to stay at. This was because during this period of running, Han Xiao had fallen asleep on his bed.

The next morning, Han Xiao smelled a light flower fragrance. Smelling that fragrance, he immediately thought of Gu Xuan'er and opened her eyes, only to see Li Lian's pair of large eyes staring at him.

Seeing it was Li Lian, Han Xiao's heart surged with a trace of disappointment, but he immediately reacted and looked at Li Lian. "Li Lian, why are you in my bed?"

"Um, Senior Han, I came to your room last night because I was scared. Actually, I knew there was a difference between males and females so I slept on the floor. I also found it strange why I came to Senior Han's bed." Li Lian pinched her face as if she was really puzzled.

Seeing Li Lian's appearance, Han Xiao's face had a few black lines on it, could the lie be any more fake?

Han Xiao helplessly sighed and said, "Don't worry about how you got into my bed. Get off first, or else Li Jun will misunderstand."

"If it's a misunderstanding, then so be it. It's fine with me anyway." Li Lian said indifferently.

"It doesn't matter to you what I mean, I'll go down first." With that, Han Xiao got off the bed and walked straight to the basin to wash, completely ignoring Li Lian.

Seeing Han Xiao's actions, Li Lian curled her lips, got out of bed and washed her clothes.

The two of them packed up and walked out of the room together, but just as they walked out, they bumped into Li Wen, who wanted to come out as well.

"Lian'er, Senior Han, what are you doing?" Li Jun opened her eyes wide and looked at Han Xiao and Li Lian.

"Get up in the morning. Li Lian called me." After Han Xiao said this, he went downstairs.

Li Jun wanted to turn around and ask Han Xiao about this, but she found that Li Lian had also caught up with Han Xiao and followed him downstairs.

After eating breakfast, Han Xiao felt that the fatigue he had felt from travelling for the past few days had finally disappeared.

Thinking about his journey, Han Xiao suddenly remembered that he still didn't understand some things, so he raised his head and asked, "Li Xiang, I remember you saying that I left after a day, how did you come to the Southern Capital on the same day as me? And how did you know that I came to the Southern Capital?"

"That's because Lian'er and I rode on the Flying Thunder Eagle. Actually, we didn't expect to arrive on the same day with Senior Han. As for the fact that you came to the Southern Capital, we didn't believe it at all, but Father said that Lian'er had reason enough for us to follow her." Li Jun wanted to say.

"Ran Mei Er." Hearing Li Jun mention Lan Mei Er, Han Xiao frowned. He remembered that she said she was targeted by a venomous snake, then he encountered Niu Lu, "This Lan Mei Er is not simple." Han Xiao thought to himself that he should go back to the Xia Zhou City to find out more about Yue Mei.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why you guys chased over so quickly." Han Xiao nodded his head and said.

"To be honest, Senior Han, I always thought that Ran Mei Er was speaking crazy things. I didn't expect him to be right this time." Li Jun sighed.

"It might just be a coincidence that he's right. That Ran Maid's androgynous appearance is really annoying." Li Lian curled her lips and said.

Knowing that Li Lian disliked Lan Mei Er and Li Jun, the three of them left the inn together after dinner. Han Xiao intended to find a house to stay in for the long term, while Li Lian and Li Jun indicated that wherever Han Xiao went, they would go. This made Han Xiao feel that his future life would be extremely miserable.

The streets of the Southern Capital were not as straight as the other towns, but they had some twists and turns. Furthermore, not all the streets were connected to each other, so it was easy for people who weren't familiar with the streets to lose their way.

They were walking along the street. Originally, they wanted to look for a suitable house with Li Lian, but when they arrived at the east side street, they saw a group of people surrounding them. Li Lian immediately wanted to go up and take a look.

"Lian, have you forgotten what happened yesterday?" Li Jun wanted to pull Li Lian back and say.

Thinking about how she was taken advantage of last night, Li Lian curled her lips and said, "Second brother, it's fine. Plus, there's still Senior Han. Senior Han will definitely protect me, right?" Li Lian said as she looked at Han Xiao with a fawning expression.

Seeing Li Lian like this, Han Xiao felt a headache and helplessly said, "Li Lian, I repeat, I'm not your nanny, so don't think about it. I'll help you no matter what."

Hearing Han Xiao say this, Li Lian's face immediately fell. She unhappily said, "Hmph, such a stingy person. If you don't want to go, I'll go take a look myself." After she finished speaking, Li Lian turned around and walked towards the crowd.

Li Jun wanted to see Miss Li Lian's temper rise again, so she had a headache and immediately chased after him.

"These two." Han Xiao helplessly looked at the two of them before turning around and walking in the opposite direction.

Without Li Jun and Li Lian, Han Xiao felt that the air around them had become much fresher. They continued to wander the streets, looking for places to sell their houses.

After walking around for a while, Han Xiao felt a little hungry. He saw a nearby restaurant and was about to enter, but he saw a waiter quickly coming out to close the restaurant.

"Ai, I was wondering why all of you closed the door at noon." Han Xiao asked.

"Sir, you are an outsider, right?" Hearing Han Xiao's words, the waiter turned his head and asked with a smile.

"Yes." Han Xiao replied.

That's right, you don't know that today is the day of our Pill Auction. Starting from noon, the top ten alchemists of the Central Pill Association will start concocting pills in front of the Spirit Pill Tower, and all the pills they can concoct will be given to the participants. Furthermore, if there are any pills that are needed during the Pill Refining Assembly, as long as they are given to the Grandmaster, the Grandmaster will also concoct them for free. With that, the waiter quickly closed the door and ran in the direction Han Xiao came from.

Han Xiao, who saw the waiter run off, suddenly remembered that there was a pagoda-shaped building where Li Lian went to enjoy the excitement. He sighed in his heart, then turned around and walked back in the direction he came from.

When he arrived at the street that Li Lian and Li Xiao wanted to separate from him, Han Xiao discovered that he could no longer take a step forward. The entire street was blocked by a crowd, and the crowd was so packed that Han Xiao almost could not stand, moreover, there were many people constantly rushing towards him from behind. In just a few breaths of time, Han Xiao discovered that he was already squeezed by a crowd of people, and was stuck in an awkward situation.

"How is this a pill refining event? I saw something like a pill refining event." Han Xiao said helplessly.

Just as Han Xiao was feeling helpless, the crowd behind him suddenly opened up a path, Han Xiao turned his head and saw ten men dressed in the same uniform striding towards him, and the pill furnaces embroidered on their chests indicated that they were the pill masters of the Pill Assembly's main protagonist, Pill Spirit Guild, and these ten people seemed to be used to such a scene, their faces did not have any fluctuations, as if they were extraordinary immortals.

He walked through the crowd until he reached the deepest part, and when he walked past the crowd, he immediately closed the door behind him.
