Chapter 322 Return (Part 2)

The moment Xia Fan disembarked from the dock, a familiar feeling suddenly arose.

Even in winter, there are still many ships active on the inland waterways. Compared with the mixed and dirty dock area half a year ago, the place is now very orderly, with more than double the number of signs and slogans. He even Saw some novel stuff.

"What's wrong?" Li walked to him.

"Look at that wall." Xia Fan pursed his lips.

I saw several banners hung halfway up the city wall not far away, but the content on them had nothing to do with the Secretariat.

"Xu Ji Clothing, Jinxia City's clothing store with the most diverse styles and the finest tailoring, welcomes you at any time."

"Jinxia Inn, a century-old hotel, the best choice for accommodation!" There is a row of small words at the bottom, "It is only one street away from the General Affairs Bureau and can provide consultation services in the city."

"The Zui brothel is recruiting people, and the treatment is generous, but they don't have to sign a contract of sale!"

"Did the merchant hang it up himself?" Li clicked his tongue.

"Well, they are beginning to realize the importance of publicity." Xia Fan said with a smile. Isn't this the predecessor of advertising? It seems that the business competition in Jinxia City has reached a new level, and it will be difficult to stand out without promoting yourself. Moreover, the recruitment advertisement for the brothel was really surprising. After all, it is impossible for the Secretariat to recommend people to the brothel when introducing jobs. This can be regarded as struggling to survive.

"Xia, Master Xia?"

Probably because of their large number, they attracted the attention of the dock guard. After the other party approached, they quickly recognized Xia Fan's identity.

Xia Fan made a quiet gesture, indicating that there was no need to say anything.

"Yes!" After the guard saluted, he couldn't wait to run towards the city.

"Is this... someone watching your movements?" Li Rao asked with interest.

"Maybe there are a lot of things waiting for me to do in the house." Xia Fan smiled bitterly, and then looked at the people traveling with him - in addition to Luo Qingqing, Fang Xiandao and others, there were more than a dozen members of the escort team. If If these people had not explored the route in advance and taken care of everything, they would not have been able to reach Jinxia City in time for the New Year. "It's been a hard journey! Now we have finally arrived at Jinxia. I won't delay everyone going back to see their families. So everyone, dismiss!"

"Here!" everyone said in unison.

"I'm going back to my place too." Fang Xiandao stretched out, "This trip to Gyeonggi is really exciting. Next time it's such a dangerous thing, don't take advantage of me again."

"Master, are you afraid?"

"Who's afraid? I'm worried that I won't have the chance to delve into those profound techniques. That's the real loss!"

"Qianzhi, I don't believe it!"

"I see your skin is itchy..."

Xia Fan smiled and shook his head, bidding farewell to Fang Yanni, Qian Yan and others.

"What about you?" He looked at Luo Qingqing.

"I don't know either."

Xia Fan was suddenly startled. This tone of voice...couldn't it mean that a great revenge had been avenged, that he had no desires and desires in this life, and decided to wander around for the rest of his life, no longer following the rhythm of worldly affairs?

"Could it be that you... want to leave Jinxia City?"

"Ah?" Luo Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Where did you think you were going? I just felt that after this incident, Dragon Scale seemed to have changed again, and I wanted to find a place to practice well. But I don’t know where is more appropriate, so I gave this answer.”

So that’s what happened. Xia Fan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then let's go to Fengyang Villa. The princess's house has a mine... No, I mean there are many empty houses, and there is also a special martial arts field. If you go there to perform magic, you won't know how to do it. It affects other people. I’m going to see the princess later, will you come with me?”

"Well... still not," Luo Qingqing thought for a moment and then replied, "Although practice is very important, I also want to see Luo You'er. I'll go there by myself tomorrow."

"Okay." Xia Fan nodded.

"And..." She suddenly raised the corner of her mouth and said, "I have already made an oath to wield the sword for a better order. Although I cannot create such a world, I am more and more sure now... that I have found it. That kind of order. I will not retreat until my goal is achieved.”

After speaking, she waved her hands and stepped into the crowd.

"Uh...what does she mean?"

"Probably she won't leave without saying goodbye - at least for now."

"Okay..." Xia Fan sighed with emotion until the other party's back disappeared, "We are the only ones left."

"There is another unconscious guy in the cabin." Li reminded.

"Ah, I almost forgot." He patted his head and then made a decision, "Forget it, let's take her to the villa with us."

…

When the carriage stopped, the thin snowflakes had grown a lot bigger and were already fluttering up and down in the cold wind, like white goose feathers.

Xia Fan lowered the brim of his hat, opened the door and got out of the car, then held Li's hand and guided her to land steadily.

But when he looked towards the gate of the villa, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.

I saw a familiar figure standing in the middle of the door with his arms crossed.

Li covered his mouth and snickered, "Now I probably know who is watching your movements."

"Uh," Xia Fan hesitated, "Why does it feel like she looks so angry?"

"It's not difficult to understand," Li took off his hood, revealing his ears that had been suppressed for a long time. "We promised to use the audio device to report the situation every day, but in fact we didn't do it half the days. It's strange that we don't have any opinions. After all, ordinary people say , You have nothing to say."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always feels that Li is getting more and more good at speaking in a roundabout way.

Is this what we call "the closer you are to the black, the blacker you are"?

Of course, the black is definitely not him.

It's either Qianyan or Qianzhi, or both.

After glaring at the fox demon, Xia Fan strode towards Ning Wanjun.

After almost a month, her height and appearance have not changed much, except that she changed from autumn clothes to palace winter clothes. She wore a furry fur coat over a golden red silk robe. Her hair was rarely tied up, but was draped open, like a black waterfall.

At the same time, there were a few white snowflakes on her hair, and it was obvious that she had been standing here for a while.

The closer he got, the more Xia Fan could see the anger that was about to burst out on the other's face.

He could imagine how terrible the consequences would be if Ning Wanjun spoke first.

He had to take the initiative!

Xia Fan walked faster in front of her, suddenly squatted down, and stretched out his hand to gently brush away the snowflakes on her head.

Ning Wanjun was stunned. She thought he would find an excuse or pretend to be stupid, but she didn't expect him to do this.

"You——"

Xia Fan looked at her and said in a gentle tone, "Your Highness, I'm back."

Ning Wanjun opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time. For some reason, the dissatisfaction and anger melted away with this sentence like the first snow.

In the end, she could only respond softly, "Well, I'm glad I'm back."
