Chapter 154 Rescue
"Master, Master, Yancheng is much better than Youlingcheng!"
Xu Qiuqian nodded softly.
After all, Youling City is geographically remote. The reason why there are so many people there is because it is located in the southwest, where the fire spiritual energy is strong, and there are Mianyan Mountain and Liefeng Forest, which is why many cultivators choose to stay there.
Although Yancheng is also in the south of Xuanyun Continent, it is not as remote as Youling City, and more cultivators are familiar with it.
If her store was in Yancheng, it might not have been as smooth as in Youlingcheng.
Not long after entering the city, a child who was at the first level of Qi Refining and looked about eleven or twelve years old ran over.
"Senior, is this your first time in Yancheng? Do you need me to be your guide? It would only cost five spirit stones!" The child was carefree and not shy at all, and smiled at Xu Qiu.
Xu Qiuqian has never been able to resist children.
"Okay, then take us to Yong'an Street."
The child's smile widened: "Okay! Yong'an Street is far from here, let's go rent a dwarf beast first. Don't worry, senior, I know a shop that rents dwarf beasts. It only costs three spirit stones an hour, which is one stone cheaper than other shops!"
On the way, Xu Qiuqian paid attention to other shops that rented out dwarf beasts, and found that they generally cost four spirit stones per hour.
The child explained: "The legs of the walking beasts in Yancheng are relatively short, so they are called short-legged beasts. Short-legged beasts run more steadily and are the first choice for most of us in Yancheng when we are walking."
After all, you cannot fly with a sword or use your own flying mount in Yancheng, as it would affect the order.
Xu Qiuqian nodded.
Yancheng is not as geographically remote as Youling City, so naturally these things are not strictly managed.
Even people on patrol can be seen from time to time.
The patrol teams in Youling City are so few that they are almost just decorations.
Later, Xu Qiuqian learned about the child's situation.
The child's name is Chen Yuan. His parents are casual cultivators. His spiritual roots are not good and his spiritual roots are average, so he also becomes a casual cultivator. Usually when his parents go out to earn spiritual stones and resources, he looks for people like Xu Qiuqian at the gate of Yancheng to earn some spiritual stones and relieve the pressure on his parents.
From the children, Xu Qiuqian learned that people in Yancheng like to compete in everything they do.
Compare spiritual roots, cultivation speed, resources, etc. In short, everything can be compared.
Xu Qiuqian understood.
No wonder Xiao Pingyue wrote to say that the Xiao family and the Su family were arguing and somehow started to compare who had more complete and richer materials.
It seems to be the tradition of Yancheng people.
"Do you know anything about the Su family in Yancheng?" Xu Qiuqian asked Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan nodded.
"The Su family is not a big family in Yancheng, just above average. The main reason is that the Su family only has six elders in the late foundation building stage. If there is a Jindan Zhenren, the status will definitely be higher than it is now."
Xu Qiuqian couldn't help but smack his lips.
The six elders in the late stage of foundation building stationed in Yancheng can only be considered above average.
Chen Yuan spoke clearly, "But the Su family's materials are relatively famous in Yancheng. They are numerous, good, and comprehensive. The Su family has business dealings with several large families and has good relationships with them. So even though the Su family is only above average, you still shouldn't mess with them easily."
"So has anything happened in the Su family recently?"
Hearing this, Chen Yuan shook his head.
“I don’t understand this very clearly.”
After all, he was only above average, and Chen Yuan was not someone who specialized in finding out the news about these families, but he knew a little bit about it.
Half an hour later, led by the child, they arrived at Yong'an Street.
Xu Qiuqian gave Chen Yuan six spirit stones.
He gave the piece he had saved to Chen Yuan and said with a smile, "Then please help me send the dwarf back."
After all, the owner of the rented store didn't ask for a deposit out of Chen Yuan's consideration.
One spirit stone saved her the trouble of sending the dwarf beast back, which was a good deal.
Chen Yuan was very touched to get an extra spirit stone.
"Thank you, senior!"
As a commercial street, Yong'an Street is as prosperous as Jinghong Street.
As far as she knew, Yong'an Street was not yet the No. 1 commercial street in Yancheng.
Along the way, Zhu Xin watched everything in Yancheng silently. When she learned that her brother might be in Yancheng, although she was not sure, she felt much more relieved. Although there was still some anxiety in her eyes, the worry and anxiety on her face were gone.
"How is it? Is this street much better than Hong'an Street?" Xu Qiuqian asked her.
Even though she didn't want to admit it.
Zhu Xin shook her head.
"I think Hong'an Street where Sister Xu is is better."
"Why?"
“I can’t really explain it, but I really like the atmosphere of Hong’an Street.”
"What atmosphere?"
"I, I can't explain it clearly at the moment, but I just think Sister Xu's Hong'an Street is better!"
Xu Qiu smiled helplessly, but did not ask any more questions.
Perhaps it was because of her and Shiqian and Xiaoyi that Zhu Xin projected her feelings for them onto the entire Hong'an Street.
Love the person and love his dog, probably that's what it means.
Soon, Xu Qiuqian saw a store called Ruyi.
Just as I was about to walk over, I heard the people next to me talking.
"That's right, I don't know what they were thinking, they actually sold fake ones to us!"
"I heard that their master is not in Yancheng, but in Youling City."
"Where is Youling City? Have you heard of it?"
"I don't know, probably from some remote town. No wonder people from such a remote town would do such a thing. They are so narrow-minded. This kind of store should be closed down and let them go back to their own remote town!"
Xu Qiuqian didn't look at the people who were talking, but her brows were furrowed.
Didn’t Xiao Pingyue say in the letter that the goods sold to them by the Su family were fake?
How come it became the Xiao family shop in the mouths of these monks? After hesitating for a moment, she took Zhu Xin and Zhizhi into Ruyi Shop.
Probably because of the accident, Ruyi store didn't even have a single customer.
Seeing a customer coming, the clerk immediately said enthusiastically: "I wonder what materials you would like, senior? We have everything here..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Qiuqian took out the token.
When the clerk saw the token, he was shocked: "You, you are the rescuer invited by Mr. Xiao Qi?"
Rescue...
Unexpectedly, they actually regarded her arrival as a rescue.
Xu Qiuqian nodded.
The clerk immediately said excitedly: "You are finally here! Our Master Xiao Qi has been waiting for you for a long time."
Then the clerk took her to see the store manager.
The store manager then quickly took her to the Xiao family's residence in Yancheng.
Compared to the Xiao family in Youling City, the Xiao family in Yancheng is much smaller in area, and it didn’t take long before they saw Xiao Pingyue.
Xiao Pingyue was looking down at the jade slip, and no one knew what he was looking at.
Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw it was Xu Qiuqian.
A genuine smile appeared on the originally gentle and calm face.
"You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for so long."
Xu Qiuqian sneered: "Only three days, you should know that this is the normal speed."
"I know, but these three days seem like three years and I am eager to see it..."
Seeing Xu Qiuqian stretch out her hand and clench her joints until they crackled, Xiao Pingyue tactfully shut up.
"Okay, let's get down to business."
