Chapter 418 Xichuan Pass

February 22, 2516 in the new calendar.

"Tian Ge, are you really going to Xiadong Province?" Li Heer helped to pack the luggage.

"Yes."

"But the Murong family is just a second-rate magic family. Even if Murong She invites you, you don't have to go, right?"

"I'm not the only one invited." Huangfu Tiange said lightly: "There are also Yuan Qing and Kunshan."

"I'm very curious, how could Murong She, a guy who is extremely low-key and secluded in school, suddenly send an invitation."

"Indeed, that guy usually has no sense of existence, and he is timid, but he dared to come to your office alone to send an invitation. He also looks different from the past, and he is eloquent." Li Heer thought: "Could it be that his usual timidity is all pretended?"

"Well, whether it's pretended or not, I still want to go to Baihu Village. Baihu Village... This name sounds quite loud." Huangfu Tiange smiled.

"Yeah, maybe there are Qinglong Village, Zhuque Village, and Xuanwu Village." Li Heer joked.

Huangfu Tiange's eyes flashed, and then he said: "I'll leave first."

"Okay, President, take care."

After leaving the school, Huangfu Tiange made a phone call: "Hello, Mr. Lan, help me check the information of Baihu Village in Xiadong Province, Baihu Village where the Murong family is located!"

After hanging up the phone, Huangfu Tiange walked towards Ouyang Yuanqing and Ximen Kunshan: "Let's go, go to the western region to play."

...

"Invite me?" Nangong Qian looked at the pale young man standing in front of him in surprise: "Who are you?"

"Murong Hua."

Nangong Qian frowned: "No." As he said, he walked past Murong Hua, but——

Murong Hua lightly Laughing: "Huangfu Tiange went, Ouyang Yuanqing went, Beiming Zhiyao went, Su Yian went, is Master Nangong sure he won't go?"

Nangong Qian paused, turned around and looked at Murong Hua: "When?"

Murong Hua smiled: "If possible, we can leave now."

"Okay!"

...

"My appearance fee is very high." Chu Anlan crossed her arms and looked at the uninvited guest in front of her: "Can you afford it?"

Usually, she would not say such rude words, but this woman has been secretly following her for some time. At first, she thought she was a paparazzi, but now it seems that she is not, so her tone will naturally not be good.

The expression of the woman in her thirties in front of her did not change: "If you use money, you naturally can't afford it, but Miss Chu, after knowing that Su Yian has accepted the invitation, will you still not go?"

Chu Anlan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Really?"

"I won't lie to you about this kind of thing." The woman said in a sincere tone.

"I'll go." Chu Anlan nodded and agreed, then asked, "What's your name?"

"Murong Yan."

...

One by one, students of noble birth were invited, and for various purposes, they accepted the invitation and began to gather towards Baihu Village in Xiadong Province.

The students who gathered most of the young elites of the academy had just finished the Hundred Schools War and started another gathering, but this time it was more dangerous than the Hundred Schools War.

But these elites were not people who feared danger.

Dingzhou Airport.

Su Yian, who came a day in advance, drove a business car and waited outside the airport. He looked at the passengers coming out of the airport, and his expression gradually became playful.

Because he saw many familiar faces.

"These people were invited to Baihu Village... What the hell did the Murong family do to invite so many people?" Su Yian murmured: "Either they were from the [Ten Families of Heaven], or they were elemental talents."

"Gathering the elites of the ten major colleges..."

At this time, he saw Su Yige and others coming out, so he opened the car door and walked down, waving at them.

Su Yige, Beiming Zhiyao, Situ Yue, Zhao Shiran, Dongfang Xiaoxin, and Xiahou Tuo came over.

"This car?" Zhao Shiran looked at the business car, which was limited to seven people, just right.

"Rented." Su Yian said, looking at Su Yige and Beiming Zhiyao: "Do you want to rest in Dingzhou for a day and go to Baihu Village tomorrow?"

Beiming Zhiyao looked at Situ Yue and others: "What do you think?"

"Is there any scenery in Dingzhou?" Situ Yue asked excitedly, she completely regarded this trip as a tour.

Su Yian spread his hands: "Dingzhou is not the capital of Xiadong Province, and its population is only four million. As for the scenery, the Xichuan Pass Ruins is the most famous attraction."

"Xichuan Pass?" Situ Yue's eyes lit up: "I heard that before the founding of our Great Qin Empire, Xichuan Pass was the frontier pass to resist the Western Hu people. The Qin Emperor was a man of great talent and strategy. He not only defeated the Western Hu people, but also pushed the territory westward. As a result, Xichuan Pass lost its function and became a scenic spot."

"Let's go and have a look?" Situ Yue suggested: "His Majesty the Qin Emperor made a bold statement at Xichuan Pass, which allowed the empire to add several provinces!"

"Let's also appreciate the style of the founding emperor, how about it?"

"Sure!" Zhao Shiran stood by his girlfriend without hesitation.

"Junior brother, what do you think?" Bei Ming Zhiyao looked at Su Yian with expectations in her heart. It seemed that this was her first time traveling with Su Yian, right? Although they were not alone, it was also quite memorable.

"Okay." Su Yian nodded, then opened the door and got in the car: "Then let's go directly."

The group got in the car, Su Yian turned on the navigation and drove towards Xichuan Pass.

"Yige, you book a good hotel in the scenic area over there." Su Yian said to Su Yige.

"A normal hotel will do." Situ Yue said quickly.

"General hotels should be fully booked, and there are many tourists." Su Yian explained: "In the western region, the general hotel facilities are not very good, and there may be cameras."

"Okay." Situ Yue nodded: "We will transfer the room fee to you later."

"No need to be so troublesome." Su Yian smiled: "Senior sister, if you feel bad, you can pay for the food, drinks and entertainment, haha."

"That's fine!" Situ Yue also laughed.

Xiahou Tuo spoke at this time: "I saw a lot of familiar faces at the airport, what a coincidence."

"Maybe they were all invited." Beiming Zhiyao said: "The Murong family also has students in other colleges."

Situ Yue's gossiping heart was burning: "Do you think Murong Lingxi just invited us to be guests? I always feel that there is a deeper purpose, otherwise why would the entire Murong family invite so many people?"

Su Yian said lightly: "You will know when you go there."

"By the way, Ji Yuan, the commander of the border defense zone of the Northwest Province, was killed by the Truth Cult members. This is the first time such a situation has occurred." Zhao Shiran thought of the news: "The members of the Truth Church in the Northwest Province are too rampant."

"Who made that guy frame a good person!" Situ Yue snorted lightly: "He deserves to be killed, this is called karma!"

"I don't sympathize with him, but the Ji family is not an ordinary magic family." Zhao Shiran said: "Being able to let a magician sit in a high position that the cabinet has expressly prohibited, don't you think the Ji family is acting more and more high-profile?"

Beiming Zhiyao, Situ Yue, Xiahou Tuo, and Dongfang Xiaoxin said nothing. The Ji family has the strength to compete for the [Ten Families of Heaven], but it has never thought of occupying one of the seats in the [Ten Families of Heaven].

The Ten Families of Heaven actually attach great importance to the Ji family, but they can only maintain their importance and cannot do anything else.

Xiahou Tuo said, "Maybe he feels that he is getting stronger and stronger."

"Ah, why are you talking about these things?" Situ Yue glanced at Zhao Shiran with a grudge: "We don't need to think about that kind of thing now. Let's talk about some light and happy topics when we go out for a trip!"

"For example, why are all the guests invited from the Ten Heavenly Families or elemental talents?" As the director of the News Department, Situ Yue is always curious about this kind of thing.

Beiming Zhiyao, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, glanced at Su Yian who was concentrating on driving, and smiled: "This topic is not light and happy either."

Situ Yue thought for a while: "Xiao Xin, you said there is a White Tiger Village, will there be villages like Qinglong Village, Suzaku Village, and Xuanwu Village?"

"How can I know?" Dongfang Xiaoxin rolled her eyes: "Daqin is so big, how many places have I been to?"

"I thought someone as knowledgeable as you would know!" Situ Yue stuck out her tongue!

"Is geography my deep knowledge?!" Dongfang Xiaoxin was very upset: "Are you looking for a fight?"

"Hehe." Situ Yue smiled happily: "By the way, Junior Su Yian, how is the negotiation between your master and the cabinet going? I want to use flying magic as soon as possible."

"I don't know, but it will be soon." Su Yian said: "And it's not the teacher who talks to the cabinet first, but the cabinet who negotiates with foreign countries first."

"Master Dongfang is really amazing. The storm of [Startup System] that allows ordinary people to use magic with the help of magic auxiliary machines has not passed yet, and flying magic has been released again. Foreign countries must be shocked and angry. It is really difficult to pay such a huge interest in such a short time in exchange for the disclosure of the startup system and flying magic!" Situ Yue said, with a mischievous look in her eyes: "Comrade Xiaoxin, does Master Dongfang really have nothing to do with the Dongfang family?"

"No!" Dongfang Xiaoxin said: "Master Dongfang is from Daqin, and Daqin is a country in the eastern continent of Tianling World, so he is called Master Dongfang, representing the magic engineers of the eastern continent."

"There is nothing wrong with representing the world, I think." Situ Yue said with a smile.

Suddenly, Su Yian stepped on the brakes to slow down the car, and Situ Yue hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

On the other side of the car, a handsome young man drove a convertible sports car and provoked Su Yian. He whistled and mocked: "You dare to drive this broken car on the road, look at my car, it's many times taller than yours!"

"Is there still such a person in this day and age?" Situ Yue sighed, feeling novel.

When she was younger than now, she was always the one who pretended to be great. When did anyone pretend in front of her? What's wrong with driving a sports car? Who in the car can't afford it?

At the traffic light ahead, Su Yian stepped on the brakes, and the young man in the sports car next to him continued to chatter.

Su Yian rolled down the window and smiled at the young man: "Do you have to compete with me?"

"It's not that I'm competing with you, but don't you feel embarrassed to drive a crappy car like yours on the street? Will any girl like you? You look pretty, too, it's really embarrassing for men!" The young man said proudly.

"So you mean you can find a girlfriend by driving a sports car? Then why don't you have a girl in the passenger seat?"

The young man glanced at Su Yian with disdain: "I want to find a girlfriend, it only takes a minute! Believe it or not, if I just drink, there will be countless girls vying to get in the car!"

"I believe it, of course I believe it, but your sports car can only seat one girl, unlike me..."

"Hey, what's the big deal about having more seats? Can it compare to the quality???"

The young man's voice suddenly broke. Because he saw a stunningly beautiful woman on the co-pilot looking towards him. Although it was a startling glance, it was something he would never forget.

Immediately afterwards, the rear window of the business car was rolled down, and stunning faces came into the young man's sight, making him swallow involuntarily.

"Young man, picking up girls is a technical job." Su Yicheng pretended to be incomprehensible and taught in a low voice: "There is nothing special about sports cars!"

The young man's face turned red in an instant. Faced with Su Yian's teasing, he couldn't find a way to get in.

With his eyesight, he could also see the noble temperament of several stunning girls. He thought that the reason why they drove commercial vehicles was just because there were so many people in them.

Thinking of what he had just said so brazenly, his expression became more and more embarrassed. When he saw the red light turning green, he stepped on the accelerator and ran away.

"Ha." Su Yian laughed and started driving.

"You really know how to play, you can scare people." Situ Yue said teasingly.

"Don't you enjoy it too?" Su Yian said.

"Haha, it's quite interesting to encounter such an interesting thing on the way. I wish I could do it a few more times."

"If you want to show off so much, go to a bar at night. It's the perfect place to show off." Su Yian joked.

"Don't go, it's too noisy." Situ Yue immediately shook his head: "That place is not fun at all."

Su Yian did not continue the topic. Soon, he drove out of the city and came to a suburban road with no end in sight, with endless desert on both sides.

"Didn't the cabinet say to plant trees and protect the environment? Why can't you see any green here?" Situ Yue looked out the window and felt confused.

Beiming Zhiyao said: "It seems that the desert here is not suitable for planting trees, and no matter what you plant, it will not survive, so it becomes like this."

"Yes, saline-alkali land." Su Yian said.

"I see." Situ Yue nodded. Bei Ming Zhiyao looked ahead and frowned slightly: "Is there a traffic jam?"

Su Yian slowed down the car: "It seems so, maybe there was a traffic accident..."

"No, why did the military come to investigate the traffic accident?"
