Chapter 45 Outer City Inner City

Gong Yuming looked Feng Ming up and down, not knowing whether he believed it or not, but he raised his thumb and praised: "Uncle Feng and Young Master Ming are very ambitious, Yuming admires them."

Feng Ming waved his hands humbly: "No, no, Young Master Ming is flattering, in fact, it is mainly due to my father's hard work in the front."

"Pfft." Gong Yuming laughed again, it turned out that Feng Ming also knew that he was also a second-generation ancestor like them.

Since Gong Yuming was curious, of course he asked about the situation of the father and son in great detail before coming.

What Feng Ming said was not false. Uncle Feng, Feng Jinlin, was really a talent. He left home to work hard when he was underage. He really didn't rely on the power of the Feng family in Gaoyang County in these years. He relied on himself to get to where he is today. He

is in the late Yuanye realm. Such strength is not bad among the four major families today.

Among Feng Jinlin's peers, how many can surpass him?

Even Feng Jinghuai's grandfather, the sixth elder of the Feng family, is only in the middle of the Yuanye realm.

The young master Feng Jintai, relying on the superior resources of the Feng family, is only at the peak of the Yuanye realm, only one level higher than Feng Jinlin.

Gong Yuming himself is a second-generation ancestor, but he also admires those who have real level and real strength, such as Feng Jinlin now.

He also admired Bai Qiaomo, the former proud son of heaven, and now Bai Qiaomo makes him feel sorry and sympathetic.

This time, he also took the opportunity to see how Bai Qiaomo was doing. Now that they were face to face, he found that Bai Qiaomo had no signs of decadence at all, and that he and Feng Ming seemed to have a good relationship.

Gong Yuming thought that Feng Ming was very interesting. Although they were eating at the same table, he spent most of his time talking to Feng Ming, and occasionally cared about Bai Qiaomo.

Feng Jinghuai didn't say much either, and spent most of his time silently observing Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo.

Gong Yuming was curious about the purpose of Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo's visit to Gaoyang County this time. Feng Ming replied, "Of course we are out for fun. This is the first time I've been so far away from home since I was a child. I heard that Gaoyang County has a lot of good things, so I decided to buy more and bring them back."

"So that's the case. Do you need Yuming to be a guide for you? No, that's not right. With Young Master Bai here, we are not needed there. Young Master Bai is very familiar with our Gaoyang County."

Feng Ming nodded, "Yes, I just asked Brother Bai to be my guide."

The meal took more than half an hour. After the meal, Gong Yuming and Feng Jinghuai had no reason to stay any longer, so they left the restaurant and went home.

Feng Jinghuai knew why his grandfather went to Qingyun City last time. He felt a little uncomfortable facing Feng Ming and was relieved when they parted.

Gong Yuming glanced back and could no longer see Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo. He said with a smile, "Are those two some kind of wild beasts that scare you so much?"

Feng Jinghuai blushed, "What am I afraid of? I just feel uncomfortable. We should have a very close relationship, but we are not much better than strangers. Logically, I should invite them to live back in Feng Mansion, but I didn't ask until we parted." Gong Yuming said

casually, "You are worrying about nothing. They have made it clear that they will not live back in the Feng family. It's useless for you to ask."

Feng Jinghuai also knew that this would be the result, but he felt it was unkind not to say anything. He asked back, "Then what about Young Master Ming?" Has your curiosity been satisfied this time?"

Gong Yuming touched his chin and smiled: "These two are much more interesting than many people in your Feng family. Unfortunately, I can hear that they will not stay in Gaoyang County. In the end, they will have to go back, and they are married at such a young age. "

Feng Jinghuai was shocked: "What are you planning? You also said that Feng Ming got married."

Gong Yuming frowned: "What can I plan? What are you thinking about? Forget it, I can't explain it to you. I'm too lazy to care about you. I'm going back."

Gong Yuming waved his hand and took the guards back to his home. To Feng Jinghuai, it was more like using them and throwing them away, without any nostalgia.

Feng Jinghuai had a headache. Forget it, he should listen to his grandfather and practice hard. He couldn't play the game of using his brain and playing tricks.

Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo were also discussing these two. Bai Qiaomo saw Feng Ming and Gong Yuming chatting happily during dinner, and thought that he had a good impression of Gong Yuming.

Feng Ming waved his hand and said, "Forget it, everyone is just being polite. He is not the same person as Brother Sheng. Brother Sheng is really naive. This Master Ming looks like that on the surface, but he is actually very cunning."

Bai Qiaomo admitted that Feng Ming's judgment was correct. It is not easy to have the current status in a family as big as the Gong family and be favored by the head of the Gong family.

The Gong family is different from the Sheng family. The Gong family is large and powerful. The head of the Gong family has dozens of grandchildren. The head of the Sheng family only has Miss Sheng and the Sheng Duo siblings.

Feng Ming lowered his voice and whispered to Bai Qiaomo: "What kind of person is the head of the Feng family?"

When he had dinner and chatted with the two of them before, he also learned some information about the Feng family.

The more he knew about the Feng family, the more curious Feng Ming was about his nominal grandfather, the head of the Feng family.

This person first threatened his father to accept the marriage contract with the Bai family, but he ignored his father's biological son for so many years.

After coming to Gaoyang County, he used the banner of the Feng family, and the head of the family actually acknowledged it.

But apart from the verbal acknowledgement, there was no actual action.

Of course, Feng Ming's original intention was just to use the Feng family's name, and his goal had been achieved.

"Master Feng?"

Bai Qiaomo frowned, thinking back to his past life, but he didn't remember much about Master Feng of Gaoyang County, but more about the entanglement between him and Feng Linlang and Wu Yingyan. It seemed that Master Feng had always been a figure hidden behind the scenes.

"In fact, I have never met the head of the Feng family in my two lives. I only heard about him from other people. However, there is one thing that may be crucial. In my memory, the other three families in Gaoyang County all experienced great turmoil. After the turmoil, their power was greatly reduced, and they had to move out of Gaoyang County. Only the Feng family did not decline."

Bai Qiaomo was trying to recall, and suddenly tapped his forehead and said, "Oh, there is one more thing. Gaoyang County once Facing an extremely ferocious beast tide, countless cultivators in the county city were killed or injured in that beast tide. There was also a very powerful beast that appeared. At that time, no cultivator in the city could match the beast and could not kill it.

Seeing that the beast was about to break through the city wall and lead the beasts to attack the city, it was the head of the Feng family who stood up and killed the beast at the cost of serious injuries. This allowed Gaoyang County to survive the crisis and was rewarded by the dynasty. "

"Later, I never heard that the head of the Feng family's cultivation level declined. I think that after recovering from the serious injury, it did not affect his later cultivation. Therefore, the status of the Feng family not only did not decline, but it rose because of this incident."

"That is a level six wild beast, which is equivalent to the strength of a cultivator in the Kaihun realm. The strongest cultivator in Gaoyang County is at the peak of the Yuandan realm, and no cultivator has broken through the Yuandan realm to the Kaihun level."

These were the news he heard from other cultivators after he left Gaoyang County.

Feng Ming blinked and said, "So, in fact, the head of the Feng family is the strongest person in Gaoyang County?"

Bai Qiaomo didn't think much about it before, but now he recalled these situations and said, "The strongest person in Gaoyang County is not in the aristocratic family, but in the City Lord's Mansion. The Lord Zonghou is at the peak of the Yuandan realm and is expected to advance to the Kaihun realm. Other families also have hidden masters at the peak of the Yuandan realm. They should be old monsters who have lived for who knows how many years. That crisis forced these hidden masters out, but still failed to resolve the crisis."

Feng Ming hissed, "Could it be... Could it be that this Feng family head is hiding deeper than anyone else?"

Bai Qiaomo smiled and said, "I didn't dare to think about it before, but now I think about it, I can't rule out this possibility. Brother Ming seems to be very jealous of your grandfather."

Feng Ming curled his lips and said, "If he really hides too deeply, it will be very bad for me and my father. Who knows what he is thinking? He said that we are clear, but there is no guarantee that if something happens next time, he will push me and my father out again. From the current situation, this Feng family head seems to be very cold, but I heard that he likes Feng Linlang very much. This girl is his most valued grandson."

"The one who values ​​him most?" Bai Qiaomo curled his lips, "Not necessarily. As far as I know, this person is indeed very cold-hearted. Perhaps he only values ​​the overall interests of the Feng family."

The more he talked, the more he felt that this person was unfathomable. Feng Ming touched his arm and said, "This is just for this time. It's better not to provoke this person in the

future. When the auction is over, we will leave Gaoyang County as soon as possible." Bai Qiaomo smiled. In fact, he didn't want to stay in Gaoyang County any longer. He didn't have a good impression of this place in his two lifetimes.

So after leaving this place, he never came back. He learned about this place from other people, so he didn't know much about it.

After returning to his residence, when Feng Ming was alone with his father, he thought of the conversation with Bai Qiaomo during the day and asked his father the same question.

Feng Jinlin touched Feng Ming's head. He felt that his son had a strong and sharp intuition: "You are right. He is a very cold-blooded person. I saw through him at the beginning.

Even though he has quite a few children, in fact, in his eyes, there are only two kinds of children, useful ones and useless ones. Even to my eldest brother, now the young master of the family, he doesn't seem to have much father-son affection."

Feng Ming felt that this man was even more terrifying. He regretted that he was too reckless this time. How could such a person be used whenever Feng Ming said he could?

Feng Jinlin saw that Feng Ming was scared, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, unless you are useful, he won't pay much attention to you."

Feng Ming hugged his father's arm: "Fortunately, Dad, you left that home early, otherwise I don't know if you would be affected. I think the Feng Jinghuai I met today was okay."

"Sixth Uncle's grandson? Sixth Uncle does attach great importance to his children and grandchildren. Compared with him, Sixth Uncle is just an ordinary person with normal people's emotions and shortcomings."

Normal people are good. Feng Ming is afraid of meeting crazy people and abnormal perverts.

"By the way," Feng Jinlin was also concerned about his two sons when he was busy, "The Su Wenfan you asked people to keep an eye on, has his temperament changed drastically? What happened?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell Dad about what happened that night," Feng Ming scratched his head and said quickly, "He was abducted by someone, but the original soul has not dissipated, so now he has returned to normal. The abducted soul had some problems and was caught and locked up by Brother Bai. There are some things I don’t know how to tell Dad now."

"It doesn’t matter," Feng Jinlin was very tolerant of his son, "as long as this person doesn’t bring danger to Ming'er, it won’t be too late to tell Dad after you figure out what to say."

It was mainly related to Bai Qiaomo’s protagonist plot and rebirth. Feng Ming felt it was not easy to say it out loud without Bai Qiaomo’s consent.

Of course, if it is really a matter of great importance, Feng Ming will still stand on his father's side without hesitation, after all, his father is the closest person to him.

Speaking of Su Wenfan, Feng Ming asked people to pay a little attention to Su Wenfan's current situation. He was told that Su Wenfan stayed in the Fengle Caravan and now runs errands and does some odd jobs in logistics. Compared with his previous life in Qingyun City, Su Wenfan is now much more down-to-earth.

However, Bai Qiaoyu did not give up and went to find her several times, but Su Wenfan avoided her on the grounds of being busy. It was obvious that she was no longer willing to get close to this young lady. It is easy to imagine that Bai Qiaoyu must be so angry that her head is about to smoke. Feng

Ming laughed a few times and put the matter aside, and would not disturb Su Wenfan's life.

***

In addition to handling business, Feng Jinlin also took the time to take Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo to the inner city. You can't come to Gaoyang County without seeing the scenery of the inner city.

Feng Ming really wanted to see how big the difference was between the inner city and the outer city. Didn't Bai Qiaomo say that the inner city was covered by a huge Juyuan formation?

There are also walls and gates between the inner and outer cities. If you want to enter the inner city, you also need to enter and exit through the city gate.

Feng Ming followed his father in line to wait to enter the inner city, while watching the situation here.

There are two entrances to the city gate. He noticed that at the other entrance, people entering only need to show an identity card and can be let in without inspection.

Even those who ride in luxurious carriages with identification will be allowed to pass directly by the guards guarding the city when they see the identification, without checking who is sitting in the carriage.

Compared to the city gate outside, the people coming in and out here have more arrogance on their faces. Some of them frowned in disdain when they saw the people waiting in line to enter the inner city, as if these people would defile the inner city environment.

Finally, it was Feng Ming and his two companions' turn. The armored guards stopped them and asked, "What is your purpose for entering the inner city?"

"For sightseeing."

"For how long?" "

One day."

"How many people?"

"Three people." "

A total of 150 Yuan crystals. Keep this token. If it is lost, it will not be replaced. If you are found, you will be expelled from the city directly. If you do not leave the city after one day, you will also be expelled."

The guards guarding the city took the Yuan crystals handed over by Feng Jinlin with a stern face, took out three tokens, and specifically reminded them.

"Okay, we understand the rules."

"Let us in."

Feng Ming was shocked by the conversation. It was only one day's stay, and each person had to pay fifty yuan.

After leaving the city gate, Feng Ming looked back curiously and asked, "Dad, what if I want to live here for a long time?"

Feng Jinlin: "If you become a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator, you will be eligible to live in the inner city. In addition, if you have a certain amount of assets, you can also obtain qualifications. But in addition to qualifications, the inner city is very expensive, and the biggest expense is real estate. Three ordinary small houses require at least 10,000 Yuan crystals to buy. The closer to the center, the higher the price." Feng Ming

gasped: "Then is the owner of the largest house in the inner city the city lord himself? Then wouldn't the city lord make a lot of money just by selling houses?"

Feng Jinlin nodded: "You are right, the city lord is indeed very rich."

Bai Qiaomo introduced "There is a large area of ​​land in the inner city that belongs to the city lord. The city lord sent people to build a lot of caves there, which are specially used to rent to cultivators who stay in the inner city. The annual rent of those caves alone is very rich, and this business is only done by the city lord."

Feng Jinlin laughed when he heard this: "The four major families may not be unwilling to covet this income, but unfortunately our clan city lord is too powerful, so they can only watch the city lord earn a lot of money every year by renting out caves."

Feng Ming commented: "The poor get poorer and the rich get richer."

"Not bad." Feng Jinlin and Bai Qiaomo both agreed with Feng Ming's conclusion.

When crossing the gate of the inner and outer city, Feng Ming clearly felt that the vitality here was a few points richer than that of the outer city.

People living in the inner city, without any cultivation from birth, are estimated to have the cultivation level of the Tempering Body Realm. Even if they have ordinary qualifications, they can cultivate to the Opening Pulse Realm.

For example, for the children of aristocratic families, it should not be a very troublesome thing to cultivate to the Gathering Qi Realm. Of course, it will be much more difficult to go up.

But no matter what, the starting point is much higher than that of the people in the outer city or even Qingyun City.

This is a second-grade city. It is conceivable that the living environment of a first-grade city or even a super-grade city will be more superior.

This entire society is like a pyramid. Feng Ming and the Qingyun City where he is located are not at the bottom of the pyramid, but they also belong to the bottom. In

this world, while strength is respected, the hierarchy is also very strict. It is so difficult to break such a pattern and achieve a class leap.

Even a man like Bai Qiaomo, who was born with a talent, was defeated by those upper-class people on the road to advancement. No one and no force would pursue the perpetrators for him. If Bai Qiaomo

had not been lucky enough to have the golden finger, others would have been revolving in the dust for their entire lives until all their sharpness was worn out and they would have suffered in pain for their entire lives.

Feng Ming asked curiously, "This is the case in our Feihong Continent. Is it the same in other continents?"

"Other continents?" Feng Jinlin's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Bai Qiaomo thought for a moment and said, "The situation in each continent is different, but the situation like Feihong Continent is rare. In other continents, strength is more respected. As long as you have natural talent, you will have a much greater chance of success."

Feng Jinlin looked at Bai Qiaomo deliberately. Why did Bai Qiaomo ask about the situation outside? It is impossible for him to have it in Kunyuan Sect, or he may have obtained it from other ways before.

Feng Jinlin touched Feng Ming's head and said, "The way to other continents is controlled by the dynasty and the top forces. If you can't reach the top, ordinary cultivators don't even know that there is a world outside the world. They think that there is only Feihong Continent under the world."

Bai Qiaomo smiled and said, "Uncle Feng, there are exceptions to everything."

Feng Jinlin didn't know what kind of exception it was, but Feng Ming understood it.

Bai Qiaomo did it in his previous life, leaving Feihong Continent and going to the outside world.

So in addition to the dynasty and the top forces, Bai Qiaomo also knows how to leave.
