Chapter 26: White Jade City
Chapter 26: White Jade City
Whoosh!
The figure fell to the ground.
He was dressed in a green shirt and his black hair flowed like a waterfall.
Carrying a sword.
He lightly brushed off the dust on his sleeves, then moved his body as if flying up, landed in front of the wall, and looked at Ji Su who was almost unconscious.
"Oh, I'm a little late."
He looked at Ji Su's miserable appearance, sighed, waved his hand lightly, grabbed one in each hand, picked up Ji Su and another unconscious inner sect disciple, and flew away.
At the same time, he said, "You guys continue to carry out the mission."
Li Qian and the other four were all at a loss.
What happened?
"Just now, that person seemed to be the Qingshan Elder from Yuping Peak?"
“Yes, I saw it once.”
"So strong, he killed everyone with one move, including a post-natal ninth level cultivator."
“Is this the strength of the Xiantian realm?”
Several people were injured, but none of them were seriously injured.
After all, they all have the fifth or sixth level of acquired cultivation, while most of the black-clothed men who attacked them are only at the third or fourth level of acquired cultivation.
It was because of this that they had been able to hold out for so long under siege and attacks.
Only Li Qian was unharmed.
There wasn't even any blood on his body.
He is a clean person.
He couldn't bear to have blood on his body, so he used up his internal energy and set up a protective gas shield.
"If I fight it, I wonder if I can win?"
Li Qian looked at the masked man in black lying not far away and thought to himself.
Although he had faced ordinary warriors in the melee just now and had not had time to display his true strength, the risk was still too great when facing a master of the ninth level of the acquired realm.
"Fighting against opponents of higher rank is not good at all. I prefer to defeat the weak with the strong."
Li Qian thought to himself.
He doesn't want to do anything that would attract attention.
He had behaved a bit conspicuously before, and was immediately spotted by the masked man in black.
Fortunately, the Green-shirted Elder from Yuping Peak arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.
Therefore, I must be more low-key in the future.
After a self-evaluation, Li Qian lamented the benefits of going out to gain experience and complete tasks, which can increase one's experience and accumulate knowledge, making it easier to grow than staying in the mountains.
People from Yongcheng Trading Company came out of the house.
Start clearing the yard of bodies.
Several inner sect disciples entered the room and treated their injuries.
"You guys think this escort mission is a bit weird, right?"
"Indeed, there are so many attackers, including a ninth-level warrior. I don't know what the cargo is."
"What's even more outrageous is that Elder Qingshan is here too. Could he have received the news in advance?"
"There must be something we don't know about. Forget it. Anyway, the danger should be lifted temporarily. As long as we escort them to Baibi City tomorrow, this mission will be completed."
Several people were discussing, and suddenly the inner disciple Liu Hui looked at Li Qian.
"Junior Brother Li, you are so strong that you are not injured?"
Under the circumstances at that time, it was impossible for us to just stand there and watch as the enemy launched a surprise attack and besieged us.
There is only one possibility, that is, Li Qian is capable.
"It was just a fluke."
Li Qian said.
"In such a chaotic battle, it's not just luck that you can avoid getting hurt."
Liu Hui said.
In their eyes, Li Qian, who originally seemed to have no presence, became more mysterious.
Early the next morning, the caravan set out again.
Only Li Qian and six others were left to escort them.
Along the way, everyone was on high alert.
All was peaceful until they reached Baibi City.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and their hearts settled down.
"Come on, let's go have a few drinks."
Liu Hui said, "The Moonlight Brew from Dongchen Restaurant in Baibi City is absolutely unique."
"Isn't it bad to drink when you're injured?"
"Why worry about such a minor injury? It won't be a problem."
Liu Hui waved his hand.
So, everyone agreed.
Li Qian originally wanted to return to the Divine Sword Sect directly, but it was difficult to refuse the kind invitation and he also couldn't act too unsociable.
Dongchen Restaurant.
As the most famous restaurant in Baibi City, it is very popular, of high quality and not cheap.
For the inner disciples of the Divine Sword Sect, this amount of expenditure is nothing.
As far as Li Qian could remember, his predecessor had been to the Dongchen Restaurant several times.
"Brother Qian?"
Just as Li Qian and six others entered the hotel, a surprised voice suddenly came from the side.
Li Qian looked when he heard the voice and saw a girl in a pink dress, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate and pretty face.
He recalled briefly and immediately remembered who the girl was.
Cousin Li Xiaoxiao.
The second uncle’s youngest daughter.
He is the same age as her, just a few months younger.
We have been playing together since childhood and have a good relationship.
When my previous life ran away from home, this cousin had already been promised to someone else.
"Brother Qian, it's really you. Where have you been these years?"
Li Xiaoxiao ran over and said excitedly.
More than three years ago, Li Qian suddenly ran away from home and never returned again.
Li Qian was a little helpless. He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance just after returning to Baibi City.
"Junior Brother Li, this isn't your lover, is it?"
Liu Hui grinned.
"Brother Liu, this is my cousin."
Li Qian said.
"It turns out to be my cousin."
Liu Hui said nothing more immediately, "Junior Brother Li, we will go up first, no need to rush."
As Liu Hui and his friends spoke, they entered the restaurant.
"Junior brother? Brother Qian, which sect did you join?"
Li Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry about this. Also, don't tell anyone about my return to Baibi City."
Li Qian said.
He didn't want to have anything to do with the Li family.
"Brother Qian, why is this? Although my aunt did go too far, my uncle still cares about you. He was so worried after you ran away from home."
Li Xiaoxiao said.
In fact, she also knew her cousin's situation in that family. His mother died early, his uncle was easily influenced, and his stepmother was a powerful woman. She acted very well on the surface, but in fact, she was not nice to her cousin at all.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. I'm going in first."
Li Qian waved his hand, then turned and walked into the restaurant.
Li Xiaoxiao looked at her cousin's back and hesitated.
At this time, a young man in brocade clothes came out of the restaurant and said happily: "Xiaoxiao, I thought you were not coming."
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Li Xiaoxiao glanced at the young man in brocade clothes and turned away.
The young man was left in a daze, what was going on?
Everyone was here, why did they suddenly run away?
Li House.
In Baibi City, the Li family is considered a large family with some fame.
It is a typical scholarly family, with many family members serving as officials in state and county governments.
When Mr. Li was alive, he was a fourth-rank inspector of the provincial government, in charge of education in the province.
After Mr. Li passed away, the Li family declined a lot. Although there were many people serving as officials, they were all minor officials of the sixth or seventh rank.
What's more, in this world, those who truly respect martial arts and have great influence must be those powerful martial arts forces.
In the courtyard.
A woman is feeding the fish in the pond.
Suddenly, a maid ran in, "Madam, there is news about Brother Qian."
"He is back?"
The woman put down the fish food in her hand, frowned slightly, and asked immediately.
"It was the young lady from the Third Master's family who said that."
The maid said, "And"
"And what?"
The woman asked.
"The young lady said that Brother Qian, calling others "senior brother" and "junior brother", may be a disciple of a martial arts sect."
The maid said.
"He has become quite successful. He has been away for three years and no news has been heard from him. He still thinks that I, his stepmother, have treated him unfairly."
The woman snorted coldly, then turned and left the courtyard.
