[118] City of Death



Li Yuan's natural adventurous spirit made her immediately change her appearance and disguise herself as a little girl to follow Lingyun and return to Sifang Sheng Garden for the second time.

Although the largest venue in Sifang Shengyuan was destroyed by the snake plague, it is impossible for such a large garden to have only one presentable place.

After five days of rest, the Four-Nation Conference finally kicked off. Although the previous events had affected everyone's mood, this was ultimately an exchange between four countries and a matter of national reputation, so no one dared to take it lightly.

Since it is impossible to find out the truth in the capital, the only option is to gather useful information from these dignitaries and celebrities from various countries.

Fortunately, Lingyun is very popular, and the women around her all have some status in various countries. Whether it is in the officialdom or the business world, she will have some contact with them.

Although women's horizons are relatively narrow, there are also areas where their value is reflected.

For example, jewelry, jade, clothes, rouge, powder, food, etc., all require their support.

At the beginning, Lingyun had not yet integrated into these women, but she was not one of those ladies who only knew how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. With Li Yuan's occasional guidance, she gradually understood some of the tricks.

Especially in recent years, she also began to help Ling Yi learn to manage the general affairs of Lingjiazhuang, so naturally she had some understanding of her own shop. They chatted from time to time and actually came up with a lot of ideas.

Lingyun's personality is easy to get along with, and she doesn't put on airs. Even though she's from the martial arts world, which of these family women who were brought into Sifang Shengyuan didn't come here for a purpose?

As her father's beloved daughter, she would naturally act in the interests of the family and gain some benefits from the conversation. This is what every noble lady wants. Naturally, there is no so-called "contempt". Even if she really dislikes him, at least she will not show it like the princess of the Prince of Wei's Mansion.

Although they didn't understand why the Ling brothers and sisters came back, these noble ladies were actually quite excited that they could come back.

Because as long as Ling Yun is around, they can see Ling Yi from time to time. The young master of the world's number one manor is very famous in the world. Coupled with his face that is so handsome that it infuriates both humans and gods, his popularity is not inferior to Wei Jie, Yu Hen and others.

"What handsome men ranking? What are you talking about?"

Early in the morning every day, you can always see groups of women gathered in training grounds, arenas and other places where men gather to train, chattering endlessly.

Since it is a grand gathering of four countries and a place for communication and competition, there naturally won't be too many rules and etiquette. As long as you don't go out of line and stick to the principles, it generally won't affect anything.

Even though these women only know how to chat and act like crazy all day long, it has to be said that they know much more information than they think. For example, they have never heard of the 'Four Countries Most Handsome Men Ranking' in front of them.

Lingyun has not been doing any serious work these days while following Li Yuan. She has been wandering around the garden all day. Although she seems to be doing nothing, she is actually collecting the information she needs.

As long as there are not too many involvements and as long as they are not too unpleasant to each other, women can basically chat with each other.

Lingyun was born with a kind face and a gentle and pleasant temper, so she was naturally very popular. Of course, if we ignore the maid beside her who looks too fat.

"It's Miss Ling. Come here quickly. This is a good location."

As soon as Lingyun was seen, a young lady immediately made room for her. As a maid, Li Yuan could only stand at the back. Fortunately, they were standing high up and there was a large space, so they could see what was happening below.

Ling Yun naturally couldn't show too much attention to Li Yuan, so she could only give her a look, and then tilted her head curiously to ask the official lady from an unknown country: "What were you talking about just now?"

The official's daughter A was not shy. She glanced at the men in training clothes who were sweating profusely in the arena and said weakly, "It's a pity for me. Why haven't any good-looking, excellent, or famous men come out? I have never gotten up so early. Alas, I came here in vain again."

"That's right. Of the ten people on the list, I only met three or four this time. I didn't see any of the others. This garden is so small, how come I couldn't meet them?" Merchant Girl A also echoed with regret.

Seeing Ling Yun's puzzled expression, Jianghu Female Leader immediately kindly explained to her, "Looking at Miss Ling's appearance, you must have seldom been out in the Jianghu, right?"

Lingyun smiled shyly: "Yes, I'm young and my family is very strict. I had to persuade my brother to bring me to this Four Nations Festival. I don't usually have the chance to meet so many sisters, so I'm very excited!"

When the Jianghu girl heard this, she couldn't help but chuckle, and then pretended to be envious: "I really envy Miss Ling, you have such a handsome and loving brother. Alas, I, the eldest daughter of the family, don't have that blessing."

"Oh, why are you guys chatting about this and that but never bringing up this topic? Miss Ling, you seem curious, right? Then let me ask you, you have a brother who is so handsome that women are jealous of him, don't you know that your brother is also on the list of handsome men?"

The official's daughter B took over the conversation and asked with a smile.

Lingyun shook her head with regret: "My brother never takes the initiative to chat with me, I really don't know this." At this point, her eyes suddenly lit up and she looked at the official girl B: "Then where does my brother rank?"

The official's daughter B covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled: "It seems that your brother has protected you very well. The young master of the Ling family is very high on the ranking list of our four countries."

Lingyun immediately leaned forward and asked excitedly, "Front? Which one?"

The official's daughter A smiled and held up four fingers. Ling Yun's excited face instantly fell: "Why is it only fourth? Is this considered high?"

Jianghu female B widened her eyes and looked at Ling Yun speechlessly: "Miss Ling, don't underestimate these four countries' rankings. They are the results of votes from thousands of girls, young women, aunts and other women of all ages. They are very authoritative. Fourth place is really very high!"

Tens of thousands? That's a lot of people, but who organized this and put together such a list?

Someone soon explained to her, "This is the result of the vote count at the last Sifang Grand Meeting."

"It's a pity that most of the people here have never appeared before. After four years of changes, some people have fallen off the list because of latecomers. The top ten today are the ones we just selected."

Ling Yun was confused. "Just selected?" How come she didn't know about this? Did she and Li Yuan wander around for nothing these days?

"Yes, there will definitely be various rankings released at this Four Nations event. As for the handsome men ranking, this time we must base it on our preferences. Miss Ling, you must also come and vote when the time comes."

"So... what is the complete list of the top ten...?"

Lingyun was a little amused and confused, she didn't expect that there would be someone left off the list. Tsk tsk, it seems that women's hearts are really unpredictable. It's really no different from fans who change idols every few days. Today she wants to hear who is more powerful than her brother.

When discussing handsome men, these women became as excited as little birds and joined in with chirping.

"The first place is the Lord of the Ming Domain, who has always been known for his mystery. He is the Lord of the legendary City of Death, Qi Ming, Master Qi."

Qi Ming???

Lingyun and Li Yuan had three question marks on their foreheads at the same time. They were silent for a long time before they finally remembered who this legendary big shot was.

The City of Death. It is said that this City of Death is located in the vast desert at the westernmost end of Siyou Country. It is not something that ordinary people can create such an organization in a place where there is no grass, no water, no life, and full of crises.

It is called the City of Death because the city will disappear in the unpredictable desert for at least half a year every year. After half a year, it will slowly be revealed as the quicksand fades away. As for how this organization survived, it remains a mystery.

As for this Qi Ming, naturally no one knows his real identity, let alone his appearance. So where did the number one on the list of handsome men come from?

When Lingyun asked this question, the other women looked at her like she was an idiot.

"Don't you think a man who can hide himself so deeply is handsome?"

"Don't you think that after hearing about his legend, you will be fascinated and excited about him? This is his charm, a cool man who can make us excited just by hearing his name without seeing his face!"

"Yes, yes. No matter whether this man is round or flat, tall or thin, young or old, based on his title as the Lord of the City of Death, he should be ranked first."

"You don't know yet, right? Qi Ming has been the top of the list for two consecutive years. Isn't that amazing?"

Lingyun and Li Yuan looked at each other, and suddenly they saw a crow flying silently in front of them.

Damn, is this even possible?

Do women like to fantasize? It's fine if they can't see or touch it, but just hearing about it can drive them crazy to this extent?
