As night fell, Xiao Ning hurried to the border of Da Chu. He found a small inn, rested for a night, got up early, and headed towards the capital.
Dachu is located in the north of Dagan, with four distinct seasons. Unlike the south, there are relatively few arable fields here, and most people make a living by breeding and animal husbandry.
After a morning of hard flying, Xiao Ning finally arrived at the capital. He quickly changed out of his usual white robe and put on a black outfit, and put on a hat to cleverly cover his conspicuous white hair. When he walked to the city gate, two guards were looking at him carefully.
Xiao Ning calmly reached out and took out a heavy purse, and quietly put it into the hands of a guard when no one was paying attention. The guard calmly put the purse into his arms, then nodded to his companion, indicating that he could let him go.
Walking into the city, Xiao Ning found that the streets were bustling with people. Everyone had a smile on their face, as if they were living a very comfortable life. Looking at the prosperous scene in front of him, Xiao Ning couldn't help but exclaim: "This city doesn't show any signs of depression after the change of dynasty. This new emperor doesn't seem to be as cruel and unjust as the rumored tyrant!"
Then, Xiao Ning came to a small stall that specialized in selling delicious mutton and sesame cakes. Since he had come to Da Chu, he naturally couldn't miss the opportunity to taste the local specialties! So, he asked the stall owner for a portion of stewed mutton, two sesame cakes, and a bowl of steaming mutton offal noodles.
Not long after, the boss brought the mutton and sesame cakes. Xiao Ning couldn't wait to pick up a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth to chew. Not to mention, the mutton not only had no fishy smell, but was fragrant. Paired with the crispy and tender sesame cakes, it was simply a delicacy! After Xiao Ning wolfed down the mutton in his hand, the boss brought a bowl of steaming mutton offal noodles. Xiao Ning tasted the mutton soup and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah~ This taste is so authentic!"
After filling his stomach, Xiao Ning paid the bill with satisfaction, then walked out onto the street and began to stroll. Seeing the dazzling array of novelties around him, he began to wonder, "Should I bring some gifts for my master and the others after sneaking out this time?" He scratched his head and thought,
The reason he came to Da Chu this time was, firstly, to complete the sign-in task, and secondly, to repair the broken sword. He heard that there was a master of repairing weapons in Da Chu with superb skills. The reason why Xiao Ning came here in a hurry was that he wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and repair the sword at the same time.
After much thought, I decided to buy some gifts for Bai Ziyun and the others, and then comfort them when I get back.
While he was choosing gifts on the street, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him from the dark. He was startled and quietly sensed his surroundings. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not detect the presence of these eyes.
Xiao Ning frowned, feeling very puzzled. Was he wrong? Or was the opponent's strength far superior to his, so that he could not detect his whereabouts at all?
With full of doubts, Xiao Ning kept an eye on himself, and then continued to wander the streets, looking for suitable gifts. After an afternoon, he finally found some good options and was ready to leave.
As the sun was setting, he came to an inn and booked a room. After entering the room, he took out the communication disc and carefully checked the information on it.
He saw that the communication disc was filled with messages sent to him by Chu Qian and Leng Qingqiu, and every one of them shocked him.
Chu Qian: "Ning'er, why did you run away from home? Mother misses you very much, please come back soon!"
Chu Qian: "Ning'er, did you go to look for that bitch? Come back soon, that woman is not a good person, come back soon!"
Leng Qingqiu: "Ning'er, please come back soon. Your master is crying and clamoring to hang himself. We can't stop him. Please come back soon!"
Leng Qingqiu: "Ning'er, if you don't come back, I will also hang myself..."
Xiao Ning felt his scalp tingling as he read the news. He shook his head helplessly and thought to himself, "No? Are you really that worried? I've clearly told them in black and white when I'll be out, so why are you still so worried?"
He really didn't understand why Chu Qian and Leng Qingqiu overreacted so much, and even threatened to die, asking him to go back as soon as possible. Faced with this situation, he could only smile bitterly and sighed in his heart: "I originally wanted to come to Da Chu to hang out for a few days, but it seems that it won't work. Let's start tomorrow! Finish early and go home early!"
After that, he went downstairs to eat, and soon after returning to his room, he fell into a deep sleep. What he didn't know was that the pair of eyes in the corner were still staring at him...
The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window. Xiao Ning slowly sat up from the bed, stretched, yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes, got up, put on his clothes, washed up briefly, and left the room.
After Xiao Ning came out of the inn, he walked quickly onto the street. With sharp eyes, he kept asking passers-by where he could find a place to repair weapons. After some effort, he finally found out the specific location.
Xiao Ning walked along the street, and soon he stopped in front of a store that sold weapons. The store looked quite large, with a bright and spacious front, and he walked in slowly.
As soon as he entered the store, he saw a dazzling array of weapons and magic treasures. These weapons and treasures were hung on the walls, flashing an alluring light. Xiao Ning looked around, and finally, his eyes fell on the counter in the middle of the store.
Sitting next to the counter was a middle-aged man wearing a coat made of animal skin, yawning leisurely. When he saw someone entering the store, he immediately stood up and greeted him warmly: "Welcome! Sir, do you want to buy weapons or magic tools?"
Xiao Ning walked straight to the counter, took out the broken sword from the storage ring, gently placed it on the counter, and said softly: "Boss, can you help me repair this weapon?"
The middle-aged man took the broken sword and carefully examined the broken part of the sword, with a puzzled look in his eyes. He asked puzzledly: "This sword is not difficult to repair, but it is just an ordinary weapon. Sir, the cost of our repair is not cheap. With the time and money you spent on repairing this sword, you can definitely buy a higher quality and better weapon here."
Xiao Ning shook his head and said, "No thanks, boss. This sword means a lot to me. Thank you for your effort!" As he said that, he took out a heavy purse from his arms and handed it to the boss.
The boss weighed the money bag and felt the heavy weight inside. He was a little surprised. He looked at Xiao Ning's determined eyes and knew that he was determined to repair the sword. So he said nothing more, nodded, and agreed: "Okay, sir, come and pick up the sword in one day."
Xiao Ning nodded to express his gratitude, and the boss enthusiastically promoted the various weapons displayed on the display racks in the store. Xiao Ning politely declined his offer and then left the store.
