"I don't have to go back."
"That person will take care of all the family matters. Besides, the news of us leaving the Yao family should have spread. I guess they will get some information and naturally know where I am going."
Zhao Bingqing spoke lightly. The person she was talking about was naturally Zhao Xuanzhen, her father.
It seems that even though Zhao Bingqing has become the head of the Zhao family, her relationship with Zhao Xuanzhen is not very good.
Having said that, Long Yi naturally didn't say much, and then he slowly said: "Okay, since the three of us are ready and have nothing to worry about, let's rush to the venue of the Four Directions Martial Arts Competition."
As the three of them were about to set off, they saw a graceful figure standing before the door. Not far away from her, there was another person following her. It was Situ Shanhe.
"Long Yi."
"Are you going to leave like this?"
"You're not even going to say hello to me?"
Yao Yue narrowed her eyes and looked at Long Yi who was standing in front of her, with even a hint of grievance on her face.
Cough cough.
Long Yi coughed twice awkwardly. Zhao Bingqing and Li Yundu, who were standing beside him, wisely moved to the side, obviously giving him and Yao Yue a chance to talk alone.
"Miss Yaoyue, I just found out that the competition is about to start, so I have to rush over as soon as possible. That's why I forgot to meet you. I'm really sorry..."
When Long Yi was practicing in the Purple Bamboo Forest, Yao Yue took care of him for a few days. Of course, Long Yi remembered all of this.
However, Long Yi was also a smart man, so he naturally knew what Yao Yue meant. However, he was not considering his children's personal feelings at the moment, nor was he particularly interested in Yao Yue...
Being friends is fine, but as for being lovers, I'm afraid we're not at that level yet.
After much deliberation, Long Yi had no choice but to leave without disturbing Yao Yue.
"I guess you've already thought of an excuse."
"But don't worry, I'm not here to pester you this time, but to give you something that might be useful to you."
The next second, Yao Yue reached into her arms, took out a jade pendant, and handed it directly to Long Yi.
"What is this?"
Long Yi took the jade pendant. Just by touching it, he could already feel that it was very expensive.
But since it was made by Yao Yue, I'm afraid its value shouldn't have much to do with it. It must have a greater purpose, otherwise, Yao Yue wouldn't have given it to me...
"We've already inquired. To participate in the Four-Party Martial Arts Tournament, one must first arrive in Shengfang City, and all subsequent competitions will also be held in Shengfang City. Fortunately, we have some connections in Shengfang City. With this jade pendant, you will naturally be able to find our people when the time comes. If you need anything, they will be able to provide you with some assistance."
Yao Yue spoke directly.
I see.
Long Yi looked at the jade pendant in his hand and suddenly felt that it was a bit heavy. It seemed that Yao Yue really gave him a good thing.
When you are away from home, more friends mean more paths to take. Now that they have the jade pendant from the auction, surely, when they get there, there will naturally be someone to pick them up and arrange everything for them, which will save them a lot of trouble.
"Then I would like to thank Miss Yaoyue first."
After putting away the jade pendant, Long Yi spoke with a smile.
"Are you still so polite to me?"
"You have made an agreement with us. If you cannot fulfill the agreement, you must fulfill your promise."
Yao Yue winked and smiled at Long Yi, then waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "Alright, since your time is tight, I won't waste any more of your time. Go quickly."
"Remember, when you come back, come and see me as soon as possible. If you still deliberately refuse to see me, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
After leaving a few words, Yao Yue walked towards the city, and Situ Shanhe followed her.
"Brother Long, what did Miss Yaoyue say to you just now?"
"I think she gave you something. Could it be a token of love?"
Li Yundu grinned and spoke, looking like he was enjoying a melon.
Long Yi rolled his eyes at him and kicked him directly on the butt. At the same time, he said angrily, "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Miss Yaoyue and I are just friends. How can there be a token of love?"
"If you keep talking nonsense here, I'll tear out your teeth and beat you back. Then you won't be able to follow me to participate in the Four-way Martial Arts Tournament."
Li Yundu was immediately frightened and didn't dare to say another word.
Soon, Long Yi and his companions headed towards Shengfang City.
When they just left the city, Li Yundu had briefly explained the situation to Long Yi. This so-called Shengfang City was located right in the center of the four major areas, and it was also the venue for every four-way martial arts competition.
Only after arriving in Shengfang City will we know the format of this competition.
…
Three days later, Long Yi and others arrived at the outskirts of Shengfang City. Looking around, it was indeed a magnificent city.
Even the city wall outside the city gate is dozens of meters long, and every stone is shining. Obviously, these materials are not simple.
Although the entire city is not very big, it gives people a sense of infinite majesty.
Just as Long Yi and his companions were about to enter Shengfang City, they saw a man walking out from the darkness. This man was wearing a straw raincoat and his eyes quickly fell on Long Yi. He said casually, "Are you Mr. Long?"
"You know me?"
Long Yi asked subconsciously.
The man nodded and said, "It seems we've found the right person. Yao Yue arranged for us to pick you up here just to confirm your identities. We still need to see the jade pendant Yao Yue gave you to make sure we're not the wrong person."
"This is Shengfang City. No matter what we do, we need to be cautious. Otherwise, it will not benefit anyone."
Since the other party has mentioned the jade pendant, it proves that what he said is false.
Long Yi quickly took out the jade pendant that Yao Yue had given him. After seeing the jade pendant, the man led the way and said, "Follow me, everyone. Everything has been arranged for you."
Long Yi did not have any doubts and followed the man with the two people beside him.
Zhao Bingqing, who had been following behind Long Yi, frowned and said, "Do you trust Yao Yue so much? Aren't you worried that woman will harm you?"
