"Let's leave first!"

Luo Jiuyan had a headache and put the spirit stone in his hand into the storage space.

Xiao Qingran also gave the spirit stone in his hand to Luo Jiuyan: "You can help me collect it too."

The two of them used teleportation talismans to teleport to the next city gate, waiting for Duoshou and Liusha and the others.

Since the Zhou family was destroyed, the Ping family has unblocked all cities, and now all have returned to normal.

The two waited for half an hour before waiting for the group.

Regarding the elusiveness of the two, Song Yueqi has gone from being shocked at the beginning to being numb now.

In his heart, Xiao Qingran is no longer an existence he can argue about.

Since he learned that Xiao Qingran is the leader of the Xuanmen, every time he faces Xiao Qingran, he subconsciously takes a little respectful attitude.

Later, the powerful existence of the Sword Sect leader obeyed Xiao Qingran's words. He could no longer describe his inner agitation in words.

In short, the fear he felt in his heart made him dare not take the initiative to talk to Xiao Qingran.

"Sect Master, aren't you really going back to the sect with me? It's not far from here to Xuanmen?"

Zhou Wu looked at Xiao Qingran with anticipation.

"The New Year is coming soon, and I still have to go back to take the exam. I don't have time before the New Year. Wait for the New Year! After the New Year, I will definitely find a way to come to the ancient martial arts world again."

Zhou Wu was very disappointed.

He knew that Xiao Qingran had always been very resistant to returning to Xuanmen to accept the inheritance.

I was even more worried that what Xiao Qingran said was perfunctory to him.

"What I say is all the same."

Xiao Qingran saw Zhou Wu's disappointed look and his eyes were unhappy.

"The master of the sect, every year on the third day of the third month, there will be a competition between all the hidden sects in the ancient martial arts world. The hidden sect has three palaces, four gates, and thirteen sects. Our Xuanmen has fallen from the first of the three palaces to the first one.

The Four Sects are not there. If our sect loses again next year, it will probably be squeezed out of the Four Sects and become a small sect among the Thirteen Sects. All the hopes of our sect are now placed on the sect leader.

If the sect leader cannot come to the sect in time after the New Year, my Xuanmen may not be able to hold on anymore and will be closed."

Zhou Wu looked at Xiao Qingran with a pleading face.

He really has no choice.

The competition stipulates that the age of participating in the competition must be under 30 years old. His youngest disciples in Xuanmen are now thirty-two.

There has been no disciple in Xuanmen for two years and has always been at the bottom of the ranking.

"Do you just distrust me so much?"

Xiao Qingran glared at Zhou Wu angrily.

"Let's go! On February 20th after the New Year, you're here to wait for me."

After Xiao Qingran said that, he waved to Zhou Wu and got on the carriage with Luo Jiuyan.

Zhou Wu watched the group leave, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Xiao Qingran told him the specific date of coming to the ancient martial arts world, and he should really come!

It’s not that he doesn’t trust Xiao Qingran. It’s because he doesn’t trust Xiao Qingran. He won’t feel at ease until the last moment.

***

With the token given by the head of the Ping family, Xiao Qingran and his group were treated with special treatment every time they passed by a city.

By night, Xiao Qingran and the others had already arrived at Anping City.

A group of eight people found an inn in the city and stayed there.

It was so dying that when several people were having dinner on the first floor of the inn, they actually met Hua Yuqi, who was hostile to Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan.

The guy came here to have a meal with two friends and sat at the table next to Xiao Qingran. At first he didn't notice Xiao Qingran and the others.

When the waiter came to serve the food, he glanced inadvertently and his face suddenly changed in fear.

He stood up instinctively and wanted to run away.

But as soon as he stood up, he remembered that this place was Anping City, his territory. There was no need for him to be so afraid.

But when I thought of everything he had experienced at the beginning, I began to feel panic again.

He really didn't expect that he would meet Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan again.

"Brother Hua, I know that the little lady at the table opposite is beautiful. But you don't need to stand up and keep staring at them! Didn't you notice that the man next to the little lady looks very unusual? Maybe

Are they husband and wife? You are so rude. Sit down quickly and look at you!"

A friend of Hua Yuqi pulled his sleeve, looking disapproving.

Another friend also advised Hua Yuqi not to be so blatant and be careful of being beaten by someone else's husband.

When Hua Yuqi was reminded by two friends, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

He sat down in a hurry, lowered his head and did not dare to see Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan again.

But even so, he was uneasy.

After the waiter served the dishes, he smelled like chewing wax and couldn't swallow it.

What did the two friends say, but he didn't listen to a word. In a daze, he suddenly discovered that Xiao Qingran was walking towards him, which scared him and suddenly burst into cold sweat. Just when his heartbeat was about to stop,

Xiao Qingran and his group just passed by their table and soon went upstairs to the inn.

When I could no longer see Xiao Qingran and the others, Hua Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief, immediately dropped the chopsticks in her hand, and said to her two friends with an apology: "Sorry, Tianming, Wu Zang, I'm a little today.

I feel uncomfortable, I will invite you two more days later. Let’s take a step forward today and keep the account in my name.”

After saying that, he stood up and strode away.

His two friends saw him running so fast, as if there was a ghost chasing him behind him, and looked puzzled.

"What's wrong with Brother Hua? It feels a little bit wrong."

"He is always too suspicious, and maybe he has met some suspicious person again."

The two of them looked at Hua Yuqi's back and shook their heads helplessly.

Upstairs, Liusha glanced at Luo Jiuyan who was silent and said to Xiao Qingran: "Master, did that man know you just now? I feel that his eyes were full of horror when he looked at you."

Song Yueqi and his men, who were about to return to their room, stopped and looked over.

"When I came, I rubbed his carriage."

Xiao Qingran had seen Hua Yuqi long ago.

Although this guy later had a strange thought about them, he still helped them. She never thought about what to do.

Fortunately, he was smart today and didn't come to continue provoking him, otherwise he wouldn't have let him go easily.

Quicksand nodded. It would be fine if the other party had no malice.

He was worried that the man would leave and move old soldiers, and that a fierce battle would inevitably occur.

That night, Hua Yuqi tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

I have been fighting against heaven and man in my heart.

Should he be enemies with Xiao Qingran and the others? If he wanted to, he could take down Xiao Qingran and his group with more than a dozen masters from the City Lord's Mansion.

But what after taking it?

It was only when dawn that he made up his mind not to provoke Xiao Qingran and the others.

He didn't know that his decision had saved his life.

After Xiao Qingran and his group had breakfast, they continued to rush to the next city.

Halfway through, Xiao Qingran parted ways with everyone. The two of them used teleportation talismans to directly teleport to the entrance of the ancient martial arts world.
