Chapter 376
byYang Kai had long since woken up. One could even say that he didn’t rest throughout the night.
The two blood attendants were refining the medicinal effects to heal their injuries. Since Qiu Yimeng and Luo Xiaoman were women, the matter of monitoring the surroundings and keeping watch naturally fell on him.
Looking at Yang Kai, the two blood attendants couldn’t help but feel a somewhat subtle warmth in their hearts.
Just as they were about to open their mouths to express their gratitude, Yang Kai, however, glanced at them faintly and asked, “Which force does this area belong to?”
Tu Feng thought for a while and then said, “I remember that this should be the territory of Tianyuan City.”
Tianyuan City was the name of the city and also the name of a force.
“What grade of force is Tianyuan City?” Yang Kai furrowed his brows.
“First-class force. Why does Young Master ask about this?” Tu Feng didn’t understand why he suddenly cared so much about Tianyuan City.
Yang Kai revealed a mouthful of white fangs and smiled at him. There was actually a hint of cunning in that smile.
Qiu Yimeng opened her eyes and pouted vigorously on the side, saying, “He has another target to rob.”
“Forced by the situation, a helpless move!” Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders.
Seeing that he didn’t deny it, both blood attendants couldn’t help but have a black line on their foreheads.
Come to think of it, even the Lu family, which was thousands of miles away, suffered an unexpected disaster because of yesterday’s incident. Before long, Lu Liang was probably going to come to Zhongdu with big bags and small bags to give gifts to Yang Kai. How could the nearby Tianyuan City stay out of it?
Anyway, Yang Kai was attacked within the sphere of influence of Tianyuan City. The responsibility of Tianyuan City could be big or small.
It depends on whether the high-level officials of this force are sensible or not.
In this sensitive period, any little thing could evolve into a big event.
“Do you need to send a message to Tianyuan City?” Tu Feng was obviously quite experienced. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but be a little eager to try. “If necessary, I’ll go there now. I dare say they wouldn’t dare to say anything.”
Even Tang Yuxian now showed a look of excitement on her face, as if she wanted to snatch the messenger’s job from Tu Feng.
“No need. They will surely know about this.” Yang Kai shook his head and stood up. “Well, let’s go. We’ve already wasted quite a bit of time on the road. I really don’t know what Zhongdu has become like.”
“Are the injuries of the two seniors serious? Do we need to rest for a few more days?” Qiu Yimeng furrowed her brows and asked worriedly.
Tu Feng and Tang Yuxian exchanged glances and quickly shook their heads. “It’s all right.”
Seeing them say so, Qiu Yimeng didn’t insist.
Without the Cloud-Treading Colt, the five of them could only travel by flight, and naturally, the speed was much slower.
After one day and night, the difference in strength among the few young people was clear at a glance. Even though they had flown for so long, Yang Kai still had a calm expression, not even breathing heavily, as if he hadn’t exerted much effort.
Qiu Yimeng, on the other hand, was slightly out of breath. In order to keep up with the pace of the two Divine Movement Realm experts, her True Yuan consumption was quite severe.
As for Luo Xiaoman, she was even worse. Her face was red, and beads of sweat were streaming down her forehead. The two jade rabbits on her chest rose and fell rhythmically with her breathing, a spectacular sight.
But she also gritted her teeth and followed behind everyone without saying a word.
If it weren’t for Tang Yuxian who couldn’t bear to see it and deliberately took care of her, Luo Xiaoman would have long been left behind by everyone.
They took a secluded path and didn’t encounter any dangerous things anymore. They stopped to rest at night and set off again after one night.
The sun rose and the moon hid.
It was not until a full eight days later that the crowd faintly saw a huge city.
Zhongdu!
As if it was the center of the whole world, the hugeness of Zhongdu City could no longer be described in words. Even though they were hundreds of miles away, the crowd could still see its outline.
That majestic momentum rushed towards them, making people involuntarily have a sense of insignificance.
When people in the world think of Zhongdu, they can’t help but think of a sentence.
North and south do not look at each other, the number one city in the world!
Standing on the south side of the city, one can’t see the north side of the city at all. The entire Zhongdu seems to be an endless sea, magnificent and vast in area.
There is often such a situation that on one side of the city, the clouds are overcast, lightning and thunder are flashing, but on the other side of the city, the sun is shining brightly and the sky is as blue as washing.
Even for a Shenyou Realm expert, it would take at least two or three hours to completely fly over the entire city!
From this, we can see the hugeness and scale of this city.
The number one city in the world, worthy of the name!
It is hard to imagine how such a huge city that can almost become a small country was built. It seems that in the historical records, it has already existed in the world. Over the years, the eight major families in Zhongdu have firmly occupied this largest city in the world, continuously expanding and strengthening it, making its area even larger.
Also creating the miracle of today!
The pace of the five-person group came to a halt, and they all looked towards Zhongdu from a distance.
“Although I have been living in it all the time, every time I come back from the outside, I can’t help but take a few more glances.” Tang Yuxian said with some emotion.
Tu Feng nodded with a solemn expression. Not only them, but anyone who comes outside Zhongdu will be amazed and stop for it, whether they have lived here for a long time or come here for the first time.
Looking at the huge city that he had been away from for several years, Yang Kai’s expression was calm. Only when he thought of his two elders at home did his mood fluctuate slightly.
Qiu Yimeng stroked the broken hair beside her ear and pinned it behind her ear. She looked at Yang Kai and said, “Xiaoman and I will part ways with you here. At this time, if others see us walking together, I’m afraid it will cause some suspicion.”
“Hmm.” Yang Kai nodded noncommittally.
Tu Feng suddenly looked at Qiu Yimeng with a smile and said, “Miss Qiu, in this battle for the throne, your Qiu family will stand on the side of the young master, right?”
Qiu Yimeng chuckled, her gaze fixed on Yang Kai without blinking, and said, “Although I know your Young Master, the battle for the succession is of great importance. I have to think about it carefully.”
“What else is there to consider?” Tang Yuxian pursed her lips and smiled, taking the opportunity to push forward. “Besides Young Master, Miss Qiu, you don’t know the other Young Masters, nor do you know their true abilities. It’s probably not appropriate to bet the Qiu family on them rashly. Although even if you lose, the Qiu family won’t be affected much because of its heritage, but a person like Young Master is undoubtedly worth a bet for you, Miss Qiu.”
Qiu Yimeng looked at Yang Kai with a smile, as if waiting for something.
But after waiting for a long time, and seeing no sign that Yang Kai wanted to speak, she couldn’t help but feel a little angry in her heart, and snorted softly, “Then it depends on how your Young Master performs.”
These words were full of deep meaning.
Performance, was it performance in front of her, or performance in the battle for the succession?
Tu Feng and Tang Yuxian’s eyes turned, and suddenly their expressions became strange, as if they had discovered some great secret, and they stared closely at Qiu Yimeng.
Qiu Yimeng’s complexion remained unchanged, still calm.
Tu Feng continued to add fuel to the fire, with a wretched expression, and said, “If Young Master and Miss Qiu join hands, it will surely be a perfect match. The future of the Middle Capital may belong to the two of you. Maybe it can even create a good story. Tsk tsk…”
Tang Yuxian quickly picked up the conversation: “I think so too. Miss Qiu, don’t hesitate anymore.”
“Hehe…” Qiu Yimeng smiled faintly, as if she didn’t understand the meaning in Tu Feng’s words. She was neither embarrassed nor blushing, but just glanced at Yang Kai a few times intentionally or unintentionally.”
Just as Tu Feng was wiping his mouth and wanted to say something more, Yang Kai suddenly said, “See you later.”
This sentence was quite abrupt. Tu Feng and Tang Yuxian had originally wanted to work harder and take the opportunity to finalize a big ally for Yang Kai, but they don’t expect that he would actually leave like this.
After saying that, he really left like that.”
The two blood servants were stunned for a long time before they cupped their fists at Qiu Yimeng and hurriedly chased after Yang Kai’s footsteps.”
Looking at Yang Kai’s rapidly leaving back, Qiu Yimeng was also stunned in place and didn’t come back to her senses for a long time. She seemed not to expect that his actions were so straightforward and neat, without any hesitation.”
“This guy!” Luo Xiaoman was indignant. “He’s so impolite. After all, they have gone through hardships together. How could he leave without any expression?”
Qiu Yimeng’s eyes flickered, as if she was deep in thought.”
Did he see it?”
He should have seen it, so he didn’t make any efforts and left simply.”
This man is really not easy to fool.”
“Sister Qiu, aren’t you angry?” Luo Xiaoman said indignantly on behalf of Qiu Yimeng, stomping her feet and saying, “How could he ignore you?”
“Alright.” Qiu Yimeng took a deep breath and pulled Luo Xiaoman, saying, “Come on, let’s go back to the Qiu family with me first.”
“Oh.”
“When we get to the Qiu family, send a message to your Ziwei Valley first, so as not to worry them.”
“Okay, I know.”
“Haven’t you seen your Senior Brother Fan Hong for such a long time? Do you miss him?” Qiu Yimeng asked with a smile, seemingly trying to find some topics to resolve the loss in her heart.
“No.” Luo Xiaoman shook her head with a red face and said in a low voice, “I don’t know why, but I don’t seem to have thought of him for such a long time.”
“That’s because you’ve seen the excitement outside!”
The two girls didn’t know each other a year ago, but since they went to the Lingxiao Pavilion and have experienced all kinds of dangers from then until now, they have always been together and have never been separated. After so long of sharing weal and woe, both Qiu Yimeng and Luo Xiaoman regard each other as relatives and have long been as close as sisters.
So for Qiu Yimeng’s words, Luo Xiaoman also obeys them and has never refuted them.
On the other side, Yang Kai and the two Blood Servants rushed towards the south of the imperial capital.
Tu Feng and Tang Yuxian closely followed behind Yang Kai, not saying a word, but both were full of doubts, not knowing why Yang Kai didn’t care at all about such a great help from the Qiu family.
If it was the Lu family, he didn’t think much of it, and the two blood servants still felt it was reasonable. But the Qiu family was different. As one of the eight great families, pulling in any one of them was a huge boost.
As long as one’s mind was still clear, there was no reason to let this go for nothing.
What’s more, Qiu Yimeng’s status in the Qiu family was not low. Settling Qiu Yimeng was equivalent to settling the Qiu family.
Tu Feng and Tang Yuxian wanted to ask, but they didn’t know how to bring it up. Following behind Yang Kai all the way, they were suffocated in their hearts.
After a long while, Tang Yuxian quietly flicked a strand of energy, which hit Tu Feng right on the body.
The latter was frowning and thinking, and was startled when he was caught off guard, letting out a low shout from his mouth.
Tang Yuxian couldn’t help but roll her eyes and was speechless for a long time.
