"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Songyu City was the core trading city of the sect. In addition to a generation of Elder Zhang guarding the hospitable immortal estate, there were also four second generation Elders guarding the four gates.

Four elders, three men and one woman. The elder guarding the east gate was called Lu Ding, the elder guarding the south gate was called Qiu Pingnan, the elder guarding the west gate was called Ding Xu, and the female elder guarding the north gate was called Jie Liting.

When the cultivators in the city heard that Chi Dan had entered the city, they gathered at the three gates of north, south, and east. The three of them had to be in charge of maintaining order at the city gates, so they couldn't reach the west gate to receive Chi Dan immediately.

At first, upon learning that Chi Dan had entered the city, other than Ding Xu, the other three people thought that Zhang Xuan had come looking for them and happened to encounter cultivators blocking the entrance of their respective cities, thus they were unable to find an excuse.

After finding out that Chi Dan was truly a distinguished guest of the sect and that he had already gone to the immortal estate, and that he had missed the best opportunity to receive him, Ding Xu snatched away their contribution points, the three of them regretted their actions endlessly.

Although he missed the best time to receive her, it was always a favor to send her an umbrella after the rain.

Receiving important guests was the responsibility of the four elders. Of course, they could not allow Ding Xu to snatch all the credit by himself. The three of them hurriedly rushed over to meet up with each other.

The three of them rushed over at the same time, but before they could enter the immortal estate, they coincidentally saw Chi Dan and Tian Ci rush out, followed by another youth.

Seeing the two humans and one beast in such a sorry state, they were puzzled. Lu Ding immediately stepped forward to understand the situation.

"You guys came at the right time. There's an old thing inside that's gone crazy. Quickly go and destroy him!"

If that old thing really decided to deal with him and his companions, he and Huo Luan definitely wouldn't be able to do it and Ding Xu, a cannon fodder, would definitely not be able to stop it.

The three of them came at the right time, and during a crisis, they needed cannon fodder to increase their chances of escaping together with their comrades. Seeing that the three of them were rushing towards them, Chi Dan immediately stopped, thinking of the three of them.

"Senior Martial Brother Lu, Senior Martial Brother Qiu, Junior Martial Sister Jie, I advise you not to go in. Martial Uncle has already gone into seclusion and does not want anyone to disturb him!"

Old thing?

Who is it?

Who else in the inn could make the Monster King escape? Without a doubt, it was Martial Uncle Zhang!

Is Martial Uncle Zhang crazy?

Chi Dan must have done something that angered everyone and angered Martial Uncle Zhang.

They were still far away when they felt the immortal estate's barrier appear. The entire immortal estate was shaking, and now that Chi Dan and the two youths had fled in such a sorry state, they would definitely anger Martial Uncle Zhang.

Logically speaking, Scarlet Core was a noble guest of the sect. Even if he had done something wrong, Martial Uncle Zhang should not have offended this esteemed guest, much less kicked him out of the sect.

What exactly did Chi Dan do to cause Martial Uncle to not care about the sect's reputation and also want to chase Chi Dan out of the inn? The three were very curious, passing Chi Dan and Tian Ci and preparing to enter the immortal estate to investigate.

The three of them didn't even know that Chi Dan had set his mind on them. They were still thinking hard, wanting to find out what happened. Wasn't this asking for trouble?

Fortunately, as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the immortal estate, they were stopped by Ding Xu who walked out.

Just now, his martial uncle was furious. Ding Xu was already prepared to sacrifice himself, but his martial uncle didn't come out. He only sent a message for him to return to the sect to receive his punishment.

No matter what, since Martial Uncle Zhang spared Chi Dan, he should at least avoid a calamity. Thus, he closed the immortal estate and walked out, just in time to bump into his three senior and junior brothers.

Martial Uncle Zhang was currently angry. If the three juniors were to enter now, wouldn't that be asking for trouble? Normally, their relationship would be considered passable, so he would kindly remind them.

"Junior Brother Ding, what's going on?"

If Martial Uncle Zhang sent him back to the sect to receive punishment, how could he be happy? Senior Martial Brother Lu wanted to know why he was crying so miserably, how could Ding Xu not know.

If he were to return to the sect to receive his punishment, it was clear that he would not be able to continue receiving the Demon King. To him, receiving the "beauties" of the Demon King had been a good thing.

"Don't bother with me. Bring Demon King to find a place to stay, I'm going back to the sect first!"

Without waiting for the seniors and juniors to continue asking about the details, Ding Xu arrived in front of Chi Dan and Tian Ci. Huo Luan had previously seen the three of them entering the immortal estate and leaving it together with Tian Ci and Chi Dan.

"Lord Demon King, my two little friends, please forgive me for neglecting such a place!"

A snub?

Forgive?

If there was any neglect, it would be because the old man was bullying him, and it had nothing to do with Ding Xu.

Seeing Ding Xu apologize, Tian Ci felt guilty. After all, Little Dan was in the wrong. If Little Dan had not destroyed half of the herb garden, nothing would have happened after that.

"Big Brother Ding, I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble. I apologize on behalf of Little Dan."

He kindly brought the few of them to the immortal estate to rest. Chi Dan had actually destroyed the herb garden, causing him to be punished. Ding Xu could accept the youth's apology, but he did not dare to accept the substitute Chi Dan.

"It's fine, I still have something to take care of back at the sect. I can't accompany the Demon King. I hope the Demon King doesn't blame me!"

The little pill had destroyed the herb garden of the immortal estate. For such a big thing like this, even if Big Brother Ding did not report it to the sect, the sect head would find out sooner or later.

If Brother Ding returned to the sect now, he would have to report this to the sect, so he couldn't continue to travel with them. If he was bestowed with a gift from heaven, he would of course not blame Brother Ding, and Little Dan would not blame Brother Ding.

"Big Brother Ding, Little Dan will not blame you. You must be busy in advance, right?"

Chi Dan did not say anything, he had always been the one expressing his good will. Ding Xu did not know what Chi Dan was thinking in his heart.

No matter what Chi Dan thought, he had to go back to the sect to receive his punishment. When he thought that they would never meet again, he did not care about Chi Dan's thoughts anymore.

"Your Majesty, my friends, farewell!"

Ding Xu apologized once more and left.

"… …"

"All of you, continue patrolling the city!"

Usually, the trio of Qiu Pingnan, Ding Xu, and Jie Liting would follow Lu Ding's lead. Ding Xu seemed to have forgotten the mission assigned to his team and was absent-minded before he left.

After Ding Xu left, the task of assigning tasks to the team naturally fell on Lu Ding.

"Your Highness Demon King, my two friends, the inn has been prepared. Your Highness Demon King, please move!"

The inn was already prepared. Who would he lie to?

After entering the city, Ding Xu said the same thing. After arriving at the immortal estate and seeing so many spiritual medicines, he couldn't suppress his desire and caused a huge disaster, almost causing the old thing to lose its life.

Now, Lu Ding was still talking like that. Could it be another inn of the same level, with a medicine garden waiting for him?

Chi Dan had a face full of yearning when he thought of all the spiritual medicines in the courtyard.

However, fighting that old thing with his life on the line had drained all of its energy. Thinking about how it would once again encounter a tribulation cultivator, it shivered, not daring to accept the arrangements of the three anymore.

"No need. Go busy yourselves. We'll find our own place and be happy!"

Little Dan refused to receive them, and Tian Ci let out a sigh of relief. Even if Little Dan agreed to go to the tavern prepared by the three of them, he would still refuse to go there.

After all, he and Little Dan only had one life and they had Big Brother Huo Luan by their side. If they were to meet up with what happened just now, it wouldn't be good for them to be in danger.

Not to mention that the three of them had yet to find an inn, even if they had found an inn, and since the Esteemed Immortal Manor was the only one in the entire Song Residence, they wouldn't be able to find another inn that was even better than the Esteemed Immortal Manor.

As a result, what Tian Ci and Chi Dan were worried about could never happen again.

"That's good too!"

"Lord Monster King, the three of us are in the city. If you need us to do something, you only need to send a message and we will do our best to do so!"

Receiving important guests in the sect was originally a good job, but after seeing Chi Dan being chased out of the immortal estate by his martial uncle and Ding Xu returning dejectedly to the sect, the three of them finally realized that this trip wouldn't be easy.

They had guessed that this Scarlet Core was definitely not a kind person and would not be easy to get along with. However, since it was a noble guest of the sect, even if they were unwilling, they had to treat it seriously.

Since they were sincere in their invitation, Chi Dan was unwilling to accept it. He wanted to look for someone else, and this was exactly what they wanted. Thus, they didn't make a move to cause trouble for themselves.

"Thank you, Big Brother Lu. We appreciate your kindness, but Little Dan and I have always been alone. I really don't need to trouble you two!"

Little Dan rejected him. To think that the other party would agree so readily was clearly not a sincere invitation. Since this wasn't a sincere invitation, then the following words must be just a courtesy.

Even though he only said a few polite words, Tian Ci still responded politely.

"Since that's the case, Demon King, we have some matters to attend to, so we will take our leave first!"

If the Demon King wanted to search for a place of his own, the three of them would have nothing to do with it. There was no point in staying, they might even accidentally anger the Demon King and leave as soon as possible.

After receiving Lu Ding's orders, the team that Ding Xu had brought had already left the area. Now, Lu Ding and the other two had also left, leaving behind only Tian Ci, Chi Dan and Huo Luan.

"Go!" Find an inn to wash up and sleep! "

In the immortal estate, clashing with Elder Zhang's palm had not only drained his energy, but also his physical strength. Chi Dan felt extremely sleepy and only wanted to find a place to have a good night's sleep.

The owner of the immortal estate didn't welcome him and Little Dan, so he could only bring Little Dan and big brother Huo Luan away to find an inn.

"… …"

"Who is that youth? He's clearly just a mortal, but the Demon King seems to only listen to his words."

"That's right, he can actually apologize on behalf of the Demon King."

The three people who left weren't far away from the hospitable immortal estate. Instead, they stared at Tian Ci's group from afar. The ones who spoke were Qiu Pingnan and Liting Ting.

"No matter who he is, in our eyes, he's just a guest."

What kind of status did Heaven bestowed upon him? Why did Chi Dan only listen to what Heaven bestowed upon him? Not only did junior brother Qiu and Junior sister Jie Dong not understand, even Lu Ding himself was confused.

"That's true!"

"Right, Senior Martial Brother Lu, are we not going to follow?"

Qiu Pingnan agreed with Senior Martial Brother Lu's words. Next, he would still have to listen to Senior Martial Brother Lu's opinion on whether or not he should secretly follow Chi Dan. After all, Lu Ding was their boss.

"Like what? Aren't you afraid of being like Junior Brother Ding?"

"If you want to follow, then follow me yourself. Don't pull me along!"

The Demon King wanted to stay in an inn. There was not a single inn in the entire city that did not dare to receive him and they all had to serve him enthusiastically.

"Hehe, Senior Qiu, there's no need to follow the Demon King anymore. I presume that no inn in the entire city would dare to slight the Demon King. We just need to stand at the side and watch."

In fact, Lu Ding and Junior Jie were thinking the same thing. Even if they didn't serve Chi Dan, there would still be people who would serve him. In the end, Chi Dan's help still fell on them, so there was no need for them to do anything unnecessary.

"Junior Apprentice Sister is still the smartest!"
