In a small town like Butterfly Stone Town, horses are the usual mode of transportation. Before they set off, the Qi family had prepared horses for the two of them, and they rode out of Butterfly Stone Town.
The two horses trotted slowly. Yang Yi had only been learning to ride a horse for a short time, so he couldn't travel quickly.
Looking at the horse beneath him, he said unhappily, "Why do we have to ride two horses? Wasn't it great last time when the two of us rode on the same horse? We traveled faster! We could even chat! So awesome!"
Qi Zhiheng replied, "Don't you know how much weight you've been eating lately? Two people riding one horse, the horse would be exhausted. This isn't a three-day journey; our trip will take at least a month." To avoid any accidents, they definitely need to start their journey early.
Yang Yitian touched his slightly round belly, and then thought about Qi Zhiheng's previously extremely fat figure, and felt that he was actually not too bad!
Qi Zhiheng couldn't do anything about it, seeing his nonchalant attitude.
Two days later.
The two reached the gate of Thousand Stone City.
Yang Yitian left from here when he got married, but at that time he was in the bridal sedan chair and could only look around through the crack in the window. Now he could see the city gate clearly. He exclaimed, "This city gate is really tall and magnificent!"
Qi Zhiheng dismounted and said, "This city gate is only for ordinary people to see; it's just a decoration for spiritual cultivators."
Yang Yitian took a look and thought it made sense. Spiritual cultivators with a little cultivation could fly over walls and roofs, so they could easily fly over the height of the city wall.
Qi Zhiheng, leaning on his horse, instructed Yang Yitian: "Dismount. Riding is not allowed in the city."
Yang Yi dismounted and led his horse to follow Qi Zhiheng and Jin Chen. Ordinary people needed to pay 10 coins to enter the city, but spiritual cultivators did not.
Looking around, Yang Yitian understood that spiritual cultivators held a special position in this world.
As darkness fell, the two entered the city and decided to find an inn to stay temporarily.
Qi Zhiheng chose a rather respectable-looking inn. It was an inn for spiritual cultivators, and the food provided there consisted of spiritual rice, spiritual vegetables, and spiritual fruits.
Qi Zhiheng led Yang Yitian to the counter and said to the shopkeeper, "We'd like a room."
The shopkeeper, without looking up, said, "Twenty spirit pearls."
Qi Zhiheng handed over twenty spirit pearls, and the shopkeeper had the waiter take him upstairs.
Qi Zhiheng inspected the room and found it to be well-arranged, clean, and tidy, which satisfied him.
Yang Yitian stayed by Qi Zhiheng's side without leaving for a moment. Qi Zhiheng said, "Let's go down and get something to eat."
After ordering some food in the lobby of the inn, I overheard the guests talking about all sorts of gossip.
I didn't have any particular feeling about it when I was in Butterfly Stone Town, but after entering Thousand Stone City, there was a lot more spiritual cultivation, and I could hear a lot of gossip about cultivation.
"Have you heard? The young nobleman from the capital is getting engaged to a young lady from a collateral branch of the Yang family!"
"This is an incredible blessing. I wonder which young lady she is? Is she perhaps exceptionally beautiful? That she could attract someone from the capital to come and propose marriage to her?"
"It's that Miss Yang Yiqian from the Yang family. The silly Shuang'er who married into the countryside last time was also from this branch of the family."
Yang Yitian never expected to hear gossip about himself! He pricked up his ears and listened even more carefully.
Seeing his expression, Qi Zhiheng also went to listen in.
"I heard that Yang Yiqian and this young master had secretly developed feelings for each other more than a year ago."
