After a moment of silence, Xiao Li said, "It's time for us to leave this place. What are big brother Ling's plans?"

Ling Qingyun was surprised for a moment, "Brother, don't tell me that you're not even going to let me help you?"

Xiao Li said, "How could that be? However, I feel that Brother Ling has not been home for many years.

Ling Qingyun waved her hand and sighed, "Sigh, there's no need to be hasty about this. Let's talk about it in the future."

Xiao Li said, "That's fine too. Since that's the case, let's go pack up. Let's go today." Everyone left as promised. However, Xiao Li was sitting alone on a chair in a daze with an unsettled expression.

In a moment, everyone would return and everything would be ready. Xiao Li asked, "Is everything alright?" Everyone nodded their heads. Xiao Li said, "Alright, Big Brother Ling and I will say our goodbyes to the class chairman. You guys wait here for a while." Then, he left with Ling Qingyun.

Gongsun Jane's room had already turned off the light and gone to bed. Xiao Li and Ling Qingyun arrived at the door, and Xiao Li spoke up, "Is Elder Jin here? Little Li has something to talk to you about." After shouting for a few times, the room finally made a commotion. After a long while, the door opened with a creak. When Gongsun Jane saw Ling Qingyun and Qing Shui outside the door, she hurriedly said, "Oh, so Brother Ling is also here. Please come in, please come in." As he let them in, he fumbled to light the oil lamp.

When Xiao Li entered, he saw Gongsun Jianhan pouring tea and hurriedly said, "Elder Jian, there's no need to busy yourself. We've only come here to bid you farewell." As Gongsun Jane listened, she calmly poured tea for the two of them and said, "If I knew that I wouldn't stay here any longer, when would I leave?" Xiao Li said, "Now."

Gongsun Jane was slightly surprised. "Now? It's already so late, why don't we leave tomorrow instead? " Xiao Li said, "We still have some matters to attend to, so we must immediately do them." Gongsun Jian said, "Oh, why is Brother Ling looking for me?" Ling Qingyun smiled and said: "I'm planning to leave with Brother Xiao, so I came with him to specially meet with Brother Gongsun."

Although Gongsun Jian had recently seen that Xiao Li and Ling Qingyun were very close, he never expected that he would leave with Xiao Li. He stammered, "Oh, Brother Ling is leaving. I'll go settle the score and pay the balance."

Ling Qingyun hurriedly pulled him back, "Brother, there's no need. It's all thanks to you two father and daughter that I didn't give you anything. As for the rest of the money, I'll just have to give you something to do with it. "

Xiao Li also said, "That's right. In these few days, my friend and I have been thankful to the class rep for taking us in. We can consider it as me borrowing the money from big brother Ling to pay for it. Brother Ling, what do you think? "

Ling Qingyun smiled and said, "Of course." Gongsun Jane knew that it was hard to refuse a generous favor, and she also knew that they would not lack money. She was rather poor, so she said hesitantly, "If that's the case, then I won't be rude."

Xiao Li and Ling Qingyun stood up and said, "Alright, we'll take our leave now. We'll meet again in the future due to fate." Gongsun Jian was about to get up to send off when Ling Qingyun waved his hand and said, "Brother Gongsun, please wait a moment. We still need to hurry on our way, you don't have to come out to see us off." Gongsun Jane knew that there were many taboos in the martial arts world, so she said, "Please!"

Xiao Li and his group left the inn and headed west. It was deep in the night, and although this was a small town, it was at the border and had its own entrance, so it was impossible to go out. Ling Qingyun asked, "Brother Xiao, what are you planning to do?"

Xiao Li said, "Hehe, of course I'm going to ask for news. We'll go to Yi Yan now and wait for news of him, and then we can discuss further. "

Ling Qingyun said, "Alright!"

Tian Six said, "Then where should we go find him?"

Xiao Li smiled, "I don't think we need to look for him. Naturally, he will come looking for us. Let's go to the inn to have a drink first! "

Ling Qingyun said, "Alright, let's go have a drink together. I don't know if we'll get another chance like this in the future." His words were filled with emotion. When Xiao Li heard this, he unconsciously creased his brows. However, he soon put on a smile and left first.

Everyone still went to the winecup. This winecup was for the biggest wine in the town, so naturally they had to make a night market and didn't close for the night. Xiao Li and the others were carrying their bags as they drank in the hall downstairs. Although it was already late at night, there were still a lot of people drinking downstairs. Amongst them, Xiao Li and the others were not too conspicuous.

Just as Xiao Li and the others were feeling overjoyed from drinking, a person suddenly squeezed to their side. He lowered his head and asked, "Sir, are you Xiao Li, Young Master Xiao Yan?" Xiao Li hurriedly stood up and said, "That's right, this brother was sent by Junyi, right?" That person hurriedly nodded, "That's right. The hall master sent me to invite everyone over. He has something to discuss."

Xiao Li said, "Alright, we'll be going now. Brother, please lead the way."

That person stretched out his hand and said, "Please!" One person led the way. Xiao Li paid the bill and followed closely behind that person.

The group of people exited the restaurant and followed the main street into the alleyway. The houses in this town were a mess. They didn't have the specifications of a large city. Most of them were poor houses. Only in the middle is a street, surrounded by alleys, only a northeastern home for the Shangguan family Dajia mansion. Along the main street, which is mostly the inn and restaurant business area, the streets are zigzagged from north to south and divided into the middle part of the town. Xiao Li's original inn was in the northwest slums. Xiao Li's group followed the alleyway and randomly drilled through the thatched cottages to the west. They passed through who knows how many alleys and turns before finally stopping in front of a shabby wooden house.

The servant then turned to Xiao Li, "Our hall master said that even though Master Xiao and Master Ling do not know what they have seen or heard, for the sake of the taboo in the martial world, everyone please wear this thing." As he spoke, he took out a few black headgear from his bosom.

When Xiao Li saw this, he was stunned as he looked towards Ling Qingyun. Seeing Ling Qingyun silently nod his head, Xiao Li was slightly surprised in his heart: so this was the rule of the martial arts world! Xiao Li had never formally entered the martial arts world, so he naturally didn't know the details of the martial arts world. However, when Xiao Li saw that Ling Qingyun had tacitly accepted, he naturally understood and extended his hand to take it. "Since this is the rules of the martial arts world, we should abide by it." He then divided it among the others. After everyone had put on their hoods, that person said, "Everyone hold hands. May Lord Xiao hold this humble one's straps and follow me closely."

Everyone listened to him and formed a line. Xiao Li and the others had their eyes closed, so they could only rely on their ears and senses to sense everything. A creaking sound could be heard. It sounded as though the person had opened the wooden house. After which, he led Xiao Li and the rest inside. Everyone came to a stop in the room, and then the ground seemed to suddenly loosen and sink. The group sank for a while before stopping. Then, the person continued moving forward. Xiao Li and the others followed behind, holding onto his belt. After a few turns and walking away for quite a while, Xiao Li impatiently asked, "Hey, how much longer do we have left?"

That person said, "There are still some hours. I will naturally tell you when we arrive." After walking for a while, Xiao Li felt that his position was rising again. After a while, he stopped and continued to walk in a zigzag fashion. After rising and falling several times, they finally stopped. That person said, "We're here. Everyone, you can take off your hoods."

When Xiao Li and the other three took off their hoods, their eyes lit up. Everyone had already arrived at a brightly lit hall. That Ji Yan was already waiting in the hall. Seeing that Xiao Li and the rest had taken off their masks, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Please forgive me."

Ling Qingyun, Xiao Li, and the others hurriedly said, "How dare you say that. The rules of the martial arts world should be like that." No need to be so polite. " Xiao Li continued, "I wonder if your brother has any news?"

"That's right, we have already found the whereabouts of that thief."

Xiao Li said, "That would be great. Brother, please let me know. I will be forever grateful."

Gui Yan said: "Brother Xiao, you are too polite. This time, brother shall be responsible for this matter. To be able to do some things for brother Xiao, brother will only be slightly at ease. "

Xiao Li said, "Then please speak freely, Brother Gui!"

"The brothers that I sent out said that they were seen heading to Ganzhou. It seems like they are heading back to the Earth Kun Main Altar."

Xiao Li said, "The main altar?"

"That's right, the Lou Guang Sect is divided into eight halls and eight halls, and the main hall of the Earth Kun Hall is located in Mount Qilian."

Xiao Li nodded, "Oh, so that's how it is. Could I ask you to tell me more about Lou Guang Sect? "

Hearing this, Gui Yan sighed: "Ai, brother, it's not that I want to hide something, but this sect is really secretive, and is at a distance from us, from both the north and south, so we don't know much about it. In addition, this sect was previously unknown, and it had only been a few years, yet it had become such a great sect. The reason for this was truly puzzling. "Although the development of this sect is very fast, the organization is very tight. Even after many investigations, we can only get a little bit of information."

Xiao Li smiled slightly and said, "I can't thank you enough for what you have said."

"Well," said Yung, "there are eight halls inside and outside the building, with the names' Tian Gan, Di Kun, Lei Zhen, Feng Xun, Shui Kan, Huo Li, Shan Gen, Ze Xi 'as the names, and the names' Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Ying 'as the names. Each inner hall had a steward and an outer hall, while the outer hall was divided into different regions of the Central Plains. Each occupied a side of the development force, and there was also mutual assistance. The inner hall is concentrated on the main rudder of the building, but the main hall and the main rudder of the building school have not been discovered so far. As for the main hall, we do know the approximate range, but this is no longer a big secret in the martial arts world. That's all we know. "

Xiao Li said, "Thank you for your explanation, we will take our leave now."

On the other hand, Gui Yan did not expect Xiao Li to leave after hearing the news and did not ask for help. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "Everyone, are you going to leave? It would be better to stay here for the night, since all of you have brought a burden with you. "

Xiao Li smiled, "It's alright. We still have some matters to attend to so we won't disturb you."

"Since you all have matters to attend to, then I shall not keep you all here. Bastard, send everyone back. "

The servant who had brought them here immediately came to the hall and bowed to them: "I will have to trouble you again."

Xiao Li said, "There's no need to be polite. We can handle it."
