"The capital city is indeed very prosperous! I've been there once."
At this point, Nie Qing's expression darkened. Since she was sent to Qinglong City, she had only returned to the capital once, on her eighteenth birthday, to see her mother.
She has never gone back since.
"Then let's go."
Lu Chen was suddenly filled with anticipation. Since arriving at Red Moon Star, he had only been active within the Azure Dragon City area and had not yet been to any other places.
"good."
Nie Qing grabbed Lu Chen's hand and said, "Come with me to see him. To leave Qinglong City and head to the capital, we need a pass. Otherwise, we'll have to stay in the wilderness the whole way! That's too dangerous."
Nie Qing seemed to have already made arrangements.
Lu Chen was stunned when he heard this; he really didn't know there was such a rule.
"Pass?"
Lu Chen subconsciously thought of a question: when he arrived in Qinglong City, he didn't need any pass. Could it be that other places do? It seems that the rules of each city are different.
Nie Qing explained, "Qinglong City is located on the border of the Cangyun Empire and has always been quite chaotic. The entry and exit restrictions are practically non-existent. However, the other cities in the Cangyun Empire are different."
“In our Azure Dragon City, it’s not uncommon for people to fight over a disagreement. While it’s not encouraged, it’s not completely forbidden either.”
"However, once you leave Qinglong City and go to other cities, you may encounter trouble if you don't understand the rules."
"As far as I know, many cities have explicit rules prohibiting fighting within their borders! If caught, you will be captured and, at best, your cultivation will be crippled, and at worst, you will be executed on the spot."
Lu Chen was startled when he heard this.
Fortunately, I didn't act rashly and go to another place. If I hadn't known someone there and didn't know the rules, I might have really gotten myself into trouble.
"These cities have very strict checks on entering and leaving the city. You must have a pass. Only the city lords of the major cities are qualified to issue these passes. Once you have a pass, you can freely enter and leave the major cities of the Cangyun Empire, which will be much more convenient."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen nodded. It seemed that this thing was essentially a certificate of good citizenship, which allowed one to move freely and settle in various cities.
Otherwise, if they couldn't enter the city, they would have to live outside the city, where all sorts of people live, and who knows if there would be any unscrupulous people who would secretly do something sabotage them.
The two went to see the city lord, Nie Bufan.
"You're going to the capital?"
Nie Bufan's body trembled slightly as he looked at his daughter with some surprise. Nie Qing, however, remained silent, staring at him expressionlessly.
After a long while, Nie Bufan sighed and said, "Go."
He took out two access tokens, tossed them to Lu Chen, and said, "Take good care of her."
Nie Qing turned and left without a trace of regret.
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Nie Qing turned around, glanced back at what was behind him with a complicated expression, and finally resolutely turned and left.
Before I knew it, a year had passed since I arrived on Red Moon Star.
Lu Chen wanted to go back and take a look, but now was not the time.
We walked out of the gates of Qinglong City.
Lu Chen and Nie Qing turned around at the same time, glanced at the towering city gate behind them, stared at it for a long time, then smiled at each other and left.
The journey to the capital is long and arduous; even with non-stop flying, it would take a month.
Leaving Qinglong City, Nie Qing's mood seemed to gradually improve. Along the way, she and Lu Chen traveled and enjoyed the scenery. The two of them didn't have much time alone to begin with, and this time was an opportunity that came once in a lifetime.
Nie Qing's smile grew even brighter.
It was only then that Lu Chen realized that the girl beside him was so simple-minded, even as innocent as a child.
Lu Chen even felt that leaving Qinglong City was like leaving a cage. For some reason, he had a premonition that Nie Qing would probably never go back in his life.
The next city is called Falling Moon City.
In comparison, Falling Moon City is larger than Azure Dragon City, and it has more rules.
Lu Chen and Nie Qing produced their passes and were then allowed to enter the city gate. Walking on the wide streets of Luoyue City, they looked up at the starry sky and saw that the city was brightly lit on both sides. It was a magnificent and prosperous city that never sleeps.
Lu Chen couldn't help but be amazed.
"I've only been to this Falling Moon City once before. Why don't we stay and enjoy ourselves for a few days before leaving?"
Nie Qing seemed very excited, pulling Lu Chen along, looking at this and that, as happy as a child.
Lu Chen naturally had no objections; originally, he wasn't in a hurry to go to the capital.
This Falling Moon City is quite good. As long as you have enough strength and capital to buy property in Falling Moon City and become a permanent resident, your survival will be guaranteed to a certain extent.
After all, in this Fallen Moon City, one is not allowed to act rashly.
For Lu Chen, this place couldn't be more perfect.
With safety guaranteed, he felt more confident in doing anything. For example, if he saw a beautiful woman on the street, and if he was strong enough, Lu Chen would dare to go up and chat her up, and even spend a lot of money on rewards.
If the other party makes a move, it would be a violation of the rules of Falling Moon City and they would be punished.
Of course, rules are rules, but people are flexible.
Completely banning fighting within the entire city is simply unrealistic. Therefore, in Falling Moon City, there are arenas of varying sizes, which are specifically designed to resolve personal grudges.
