After eating breakfast, Han Xiao and the other two left the inn. Because there was no Wang Yang around, they didn't have to pretend to be Han Xiao. Han Xiao felt that his mood had become a lot lighter and his entire person had changed.
"Senior Han, you should get used to it this way." Li Jun wanted to say.
"Are you not used to my appearance yesterday?" Han Xiao joked.
"It's not that I'm not used to it, it's just that I feel that Senior Han is too fake. Even a smile can't reach my eyes, which makes me feel very unfamiliar." Li Jun seriously said.
Hearing Li Jun's thoughts, Han Xiao remembered the attitude he had when facing Wang Yang. He chuckled and said, "Even if you're not used to it, you must get used to it. Wang Yang won't be leaving anytime soon, so you need to get used to him."
"No, thinking about his cold eyes yesterday, my entire body feels uncomfortable. Senior Han, can you let him go?" Li Lian asked in dissatisfaction.
"No." Han Xiao lightly said, "He won't take the initiative to leave due to Wang Yang's temper, and I have no reason to let him leave."
"Alright, I'll try my best not to offend him, but Senior Han ?" Li Lian was interrupted before she could finish.
"Lian'er, Senior Han, let's go look around." Li Jun stretched out her hand and pulled Li Lian as she spoke.
Seeing Li Long's actions, Han Xiao's eyes flashed with a faint smile. Li Jun thought that although he wasn't as cunning as Li Long, there were many things that he could see very clearly. At the very least, he knew what he should ask and should not ask.
"Li Jun is right. Let's go out and take a look." After saying this, Han Xiao took the lead and left. Li Jun wanted to follow closely behind him, especially Li Lian who quickly walked over to Han Xiao's side, as if she was worried that Han Xiao would abandon them and walk away.
The three of them wandered around aimlessly. In a blink of an eye, an entire morning had gone by and they had seen quite a few houses, but none of them could be found.
"Senior Han, why don't we take a look at the capital city's stronghold?" Li Jun thought of the city they had passed by and asked.
"Capital?" Hearing Li Xiao's words, Han Xiao pondered for a moment before saying, "Okay, let's go there and take a look." With that, the three of them turned around and walked back the way they came from.
Arriving at the Capital City Palace, Han Xiao hesitated for a moment before bringing Li Wei and Li Lian in. Upon entering the Capital City Palace, Han Xiao saw a huge stone wall in front of the three of them. On the left side of the stone wall was a long and narrow path, but the strange thing was that there were no guards guarding this path.
"Eh, on this stone wall." Li Jun wanted to look at the picture on the stone wall, but she couldn't help but stop and exclaim in surprise.
"This stone wall." Han Xiao stopped and looked at the stone wall in front of him. He hadn't paid attention to this stone wall just now, but upon closer inspection, he realized that this stone wall was carved with a map of the entire Southern Capital. Even the black market Han Xiao went to yesterday was marked on the map.
The fact that there was a map of the Southern Capital in the capital city was not enough to shock Han Xiao and Li Jun. What truly shocked Li Xiao was that the map had spots of light moving about on it, the dense spots of light made the map look extremely dazzling, and underneath the spots of light were buildings that were marked in red letters. In the middle of the palace was a golden dragon.
"Ah!" Li Jun couldn't help but cry out when she saw the golden dragon staring at her. She clearly didn't expect that the golden dragon would stare at her.
"Second brother, what are you suddenly called?" Li Lian looked at Li Jun in dissatisfaction.
"Ah, it's precisely that golden dragon that gave me a fright when it glared at me." Li Jun said as she came back to her senses.
"It's just a golden dragon, but this stone wall is really interesting." Li Lian's eyes were filled with curiosity as she looked at the stone wall in front of her.
"This stone wall is indeed quite interesting." Han Xiao nodded his head and said to the stone wall in front of him.
"Did you come to see the house?" A voice sounded from behind Han Xiao and the others. They suddenly turned around and saw a masked woman wearing a gray robe standing behind them.
Although he was looking at the stone wall, he did not let down his guard. When this woman appeared, there was clearly no source energy fluctuation, but this woman actually appeared without any warning.
"I mean no harm. I just wanted to ask if you guys are here to see the house." The woman asked gently.
"Yes." Han Xiao nodded his head and said.
Seeing Han Xiao nod his head, the woman's eyes flashed with obvious happiness as she hurriedly said, "Then can you let me live with you?" After she finished speaking, the woman realized that what she said was wrong and immediately explained, "I don't have any intentions of taking advantage of you guys, it's just because my storage ring was lost. I don't have any spirit stones on me right now, so I can't find a place to stay.
"Well said, but who knows if you will go back on your word when the time comes. Besides, we don't even know each other, so why do we need you to live with us?" Perhaps it was because of the enmity between the girls, Li Lian said immediately.
Hearing Li Lian's words, a trace of awkwardness flashed across the woman's eyes. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Han Xiao.
"We're still looking for a house, so we can't promise you that." After Han Xiao finished speaking, the awkwardness in the woman's eyes immediately turned to disappointment.
"But I can promise you that you will stay with us for the time being as long as we find a house. If you are worried, you can follow us in." Han Xiao gently smiled and said.
Seeing Han Xiao's smile, the woman felt her heart tremble. She excitedly nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, by the way, I've been to the capital city once, I'm more familiar with it. Come with me." After saying that, the woman quickly stepped forward to lead the way.
On the other hand, Han Xiao signaled to Li Jun with his eyes before bringing Li Lian and Li Jun to follow the woman in.
After turning around the small path, Han Xiao saw the buildings behind him. All of the structures had a traditional style, but what Han Xiao didn't expect was that even after entering the capital city, he didn't see many people.
Because there were not many people in the city that were as large as the capital city, the steps of the woman clearly paused when she saw the empty space, she then quickly brought Han Xiao and the rest to bypass the paths, finally arriving in front of a relatively simple building, only seeing a few figures in front of Han Xiao.
"Stand here, what are you guys doing here? Don't you know that we are receiving guests? " A person dressed as a guard directly stretched out his arm to stop Han Xiao and the others.
"What esteemed guest would need a person from the capital to receive them? And we're also here to look for a house, what right do you have to stop us? " The masked woman said with a cold snort.
Hearing the woman's words, the guard's face changed and he said, "I don't care what you're here for. We are here to receive guests, so we don't have the time to care about you. Go, go, go!"
"You." Li Lian was immediately angered when she saw the guard's attitude. Since she was young, no one had dared to speak to her in this manner. As soon as she took a step forward, she was pulled back by Li Jun.
"Pa!" Although Li Lian was pulled back, the masked woman took a step forward and heavily slapped the guard. Immediately, half of the guard's face swelled up and a stream of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
The reason why the city gates were set up is to make it convenient for foreign cultivators to find a suitable place to stay in the Southern Capital, but you ignored the other guests for the sake of a so-called esteemed guest. What's even more infuriating is that the sentries at the entrance and the patrols in the courtyard were all withdrawn, leaving only the door wide open. The masked woman coldly said, her head held high, looking extremely noble.
"You, you ? you actually dared to hit me. I'll go tell my lord right now." With that, the guard stumbled into the house behind him.
"What's so noisy?" The guard had just turned around when he saw a man wearing light purple clothes walking out of the room. The man was wearing a cloud hat and it looked very impressive.
"You must be the Capital City, right? We came to visit." The masked woman said.
"Looking at the house? Not today. " The man waved his hand and said.
"No? "Could it be that the esteemed guest is really so precious that you can ignore the laws of the country?" The masked woman raised her eyebrows and said.
Hearing the woman's words, the mansion's eyelids jumped, but he still said firmly, "It has nothing to do with politics, the person inside is someone you can't afford to offend."
"Oh, I'd like to see who it is that I can't afford to offend." With a sneer, the woman disappeared from the spot. In the next moment, she reappeared outside the door and quickly walked toward the house. When the mansion saw her movements, their eyes widened and they hurriedly followed her.
