The six of them continued on their journey. At Tian Fen's suggestion, they arrived at the city closest to the Tianshan Sword Sect at noon. Mountain City was the closest to Tianshan Sword Sect, so it was also a relatively lively place with relatively high economic activities. Its scale was ranked third among all the cities in the Tianshan Country, and its population neared two million.

Because this place was opposite of the Demonic Beast Mountain, Lee Xun had never seen it in the future. The moment he entered the city, Lee Xun discovered that this city was much more lively than the ones he had seen in the past.

"Senior Brother, let's go pick out a few sets of clothes for you. Out of the six of us, only you are still wearing the uniform of Sword Sect, this is a little too eye-catching, it's not good for our training!" Tian Fen said.

"That's true. Lead the way."

Without taking a detour, after walking past two streets, Tian Fen brought everyone to a clothing store. The entrance had a very noble front with the word "Tian" written on the signboard.

Lee Xun thought: "Could it be that this shop belongs to this little girl?"

As soon as Tian Fen entered, a young girl came forward to serve him. Tian Fen took out a jade pendant, the young girl bowed to him respectfully and turned to leave. Not long after, the young girl came out. However, before her, there was a young woman with an oppressing aura. The young woman had a smile plastered on her face.

"Aunt Si." Tian Fen stepped forward and passionately embraced the young wife.

"I knew it was you, little girl."

"Hehe, Aunt Si, I brought people to take care of your business." With that, Tian Fen introduced Lee Xun and the others one by one.

The young woman was called Tian Si, Tian Fen's aunt. This clothing shop was indeed owned by the Tian Family, and Tian Fen was the granddaughter of the Tian Family Patriarch.

After Tian Si understood the purpose of Tian Fen's visit, he carefully sized up Lee Xun and reported 4 numbers to the girl behind him. Soon, the young girl brought over four sets of clothes.

"Senior Brother Lee Xun, go and try on some clothes with her."

Lee Xun consecutively tried four sets of clothes. Not only did they fit perfectly, each set even had different characteristics. As the proverb went, "Buddha relies on metal clothing, while man relies on clothes." When Lee Xun came to the Sword Soul Continent area, he had never worn such gorgeous clothes. Looking at the handsome and confident figure in the mirror, Lee Xun thought to himself: Back then, I was also one of the five great beauties of Peking University.

When Lee Xun came out wearing his last clothes, the eyes of Tian Fen and the rest lit up.

"Senior brother, I really didn't expect you to be so handsome." Tian Fen continued to look at them.

Lee Xun gave a silly smile, looked towards Tian Si and said, "The clothes just now were not bad, I want them all. Let's settle the bill."

"Little brother, you must be joking. If I were to take your money, who knows how long I would be scolded by that little girl Tian Fen. "As long as you are happy with your clothes on, you should remember to help our 'Tian Clan' publicize it in the future."

"This, isn't good." Lee Xun said embarrassedly.

"Senior Brother, there's nothing good about it. The benefits you gave me a while ago were not something that could be exchanged for just these few pieces of clothes. Have I been polite with you before?"

"Then I won't be disrespectful."

"Aunt Si, we won't be disturbing you then. I know you're going to be busy and won't have time to take care of us."

"Girl, after you're done being a good person, you leave with a pat on your butt. You really don't know how to accompany me."

"Hehe, Aunt Si, next time, next time I will definitely stay for a few more days. We'll be going." After Tian Fen finished speaking, she pulled Qin Qing and Dong Nana and played outside, and Lee Xun and the other two could only clasp their hands together and say their goodbyes.

After exiting the door, Tian Fen brought the five of them to a extravagant restaurant. During the meal, Lee Xun came to understand that Tian Fen was the direct granddaughter of the current Patriarch of one of the three great families, the Tian Family. Zhou Jie was the young master of one of the three great families, the Zhou Family. Dong Nana, on the other hand, was the eldest miss of the Dong Family, the third largest merchant family within the Pineflower Country. As for Qin Qing, she said that she was from the northern Song Nation's Qin Family. Half a year later, during the martial arts competition, Lee Xun had a rough understanding of the situation.

It turned out that the competition had a history of more than three hundred years, and the organizers were the Jin Family from within the Pineflower Country. Only the young elites from more than twenty different nations in the southern region of the Sword Soul Continent would rush to participate, and although in principle, they were not older than thirty years of age, but the experts sent by the established forces like the Tianshan Sword Sect, usually did not exceed twenty-five years of age. They were even younger this time around, and half a year later, only Lee Xun had just reached twenty years of age.

After dinner, Tian Fen led the five of them to each pick a horse, and then left the mountain city.

"There are people fighting in front of us. We have to be careful." Lee Xun instructed.

Zhou Jie and the other three also saw the chaotic battle that was taking place in front of them. When they arrived and realised it was a bandit robbing caravan, Zhou Jie and the other three immediately took action without explanation, but they did not use their respective Soul Sword s. Although there were a lot of bandits, but in terms of individual strength, they were simply too weak. In less than ten minutes, all the bandits were subdued.

The old man in the middle of the caravan walked in front of Zhou Jie and the others, bowed and said: "I am Meng Song, the old manager of the Meng clan. Thank you for taking action in the name of justice, otherwise, the odds are against us.

Zhou Jie and the others did not have time to reply when they heard Lee Xun's words. "There's no need for such heavy gratitude, we'll take our leave now." With that, he took the lead. The old man and the other teachers had told Lee Xun a lot of experiences. This time, Zhou Jie and the others helped the Chamber of Commerce to stop the bandits' robbery, but it was possible that they also caused trouble. Who knew if these Thieves had powerful backers, and if there were spies in the Chamber of Commerce, they wouldn't have any interactions with them in the future anyway. They didn't have any hope of repayment, so they might as well leave as soon as possible.

Seeing that Lee Xun had already left, Zhou Jie's group of five immediately mounted their horses and chased after him.

Seeing their benefactor leave just like that, many people in the Meng Family Chamber of Commerce didn't know what was going on. They thought they had offended him somehow. However, Meng Song looked at the few people who left and admired Lee Xun's mentality. He couldn't help but feel regret that he couldn't get to know them.

"Senior Brother, why didn't you let us leave our names behind just now?" Zhou Jie was puzzled, he had always wanted to become famous.

"There are always gains and losses in everything you do. If you want to become famous, you'd better give up this opportunity."

The five of them seemed to be deep in thought after hearing Lee Xun's words, but they still didn't quite understand.

One day later.

"Senior Brother, the Three Spring City is right in front of us. I was born there. That is also where our Tian Clan's base of operations is located." Tian Fen was very proud.

"Hur hur, that's great. There's no need to spend money on food and lodging." With that, Lee Xun sped up.

Everyone could clearly feel that ever since Lee Xun had descended the mountain, he had been in a particularly good mood and often joked around with them. Compared to the Lee Xun who was always in a daze within the Sword Sect, the ice-cold Lee Xun was the complete opposite. However, the few of them did not point it out loud, and furthermore, they liked the current Lee Xun even more.

The population of the Three Spring City was less than one million, but more than half of them had the surname of Tian. Over 80% of the properties belonged to the Tian Clan.

"Fen, where are we going now?"

"Of course it's to go to my house first. I think grandpa will be very happy to see all of you here."

The few of them followed Tian Fen all the way to the Tang Family Castle, which was located in the middle of Three Spring City. Lee Xun was secretly shocked when he arrived, the outer walls of the Tang Family Castle were unexpectedly five meters tall, and he could even see squadrons of people patrolling the walls.

Just as he arrived at the entrance, an elder came out to greet him.

"Miss, you're finally back. We received the news of you descending the mountain a few days ago. The lord has been talking about you, so he sent the old servant to guard the door."

"Grandpa Stone, you've worked hard. These people are my senior brothers and sisters. I'll bring them to see grandfather."

"Haha, it's not hard at all. Bring them along quickly, someone else will take care of the horses."

The Tang Family Castle was filled with ancient trees and strange stones, making Lee Xun unable to move.

Senior brother, it seems that you're very interested in these ancient trees and extraordinary stones, but you should first come with me to see grandpa. If you can make him happy, maybe we can get him to open up our backyard for you. I heard that there's a 1500 year old peach tree there, but I've never seen it before.

Hearing Tian Fen's words, Lee Xun's curiosity was piqued to the extreme. In his previous life, Lee Xun already had an inexplicable fondness for nature, which was why when he went wandering the Western Regions, he found out that there were Red Fruits. Now that he heard that there was a 1500 year old peach tree, he wanted to see it immediately.

When Tian Fen brought the five of them into a quiet little courtyard, she softly said. "My grandfather usually paints at this time, so he needs a quiet place. "When we enter later, if Grandpa doesn't say anything, I'll have to trouble senior brothers and sisters to give me some face and not make a sound."

The five of them nodded their heads slightly. Tian Fen had gotten along very well with everyone, and since she was in the Tian Clan and she was meeting a highly respected senior, the younger generation should abide by the rules of the Tian Clan, which was why they were able to hold such a huge Tian Clan for so many years.

Old Master Tian was indeed drawing, but after the six of them observed for a short while, he stopped. However, he didn't have any intentions of seeing them, he seemed to be pondering on how to continue drawing.

Just as Tian Fen was about to walk forward, Elder Tian started drawing again. After a few strokes, she put down her brush.

"Grandfather, I'm back."

"Our little princess has returned. Come over and let me take a look." Old Master Tian doted on Tian Fen a lot.

"Grandfather, these are my senior brothers and sisters ?" Tian Fen introduced Old Man Tian, Lee Xun and the others one by one.

After carefully observing the few of them, Elder Tian's gaze stopped on Lee Xun.

"Young man, you're very strong. I've never seen a young man of your age with such strength." Elder Tian's words of praise made Lee Xun feel extremely awkward. Actually, he'd already sized up old man Tian, but he couldn't see through him.

The old man had told Lee Xun before that after a person reached a certain level of strength, they could roughly calculate a person's strength by observing their mind and soul. If you couldn't see it, there was only one thing that had the greatest probability of happening, and that was that the person's strength was above yours. Old Man Tian's words had clearly confirmed Lee Xun's guess. After all, the other party could see through his strength, but he could not see through it.

"Elder Tian, you're too kind." Lee Xun rubbed his head, he really did not know how to answer.

Seeing Lee Xun's embarrassed look, Tian Fen and the other two girls all secretly laughed. They had never seen Lee Xun with such a funny expression before.

"Grandfather, look at you. You've already made Senior Brother Lee Xun feel so awkward the first time we've met. You're very rude, aren't you?"

"Haha, I was rude, but the truth is that even though your fellow martial brothers and sisters are rare geniuses, you are the worst. You better work hard." As Elder Tian said this, he pinched Tian Fen's cute little face.

"Grandfather, you're pinching me, I'm angry." Tian Fen pouted, her cheeks puffing out.

"Alright, it's your grandpa's fault. Bring the guests to the east hall first, I'll change clothes then. Look, it's almost time for dinner."

During the meal, Master Tian's knowledge and knowledge was extremely attractive to Lee Xun and the others. After dinner, Lee Xun and the others talked to Master Tian about a lot of strange things that he had told them, but Master Tian had obviously taken care of these juniors, so they talked until late into the night.
