Chapter 774  Returning North

After joining Xie Ying and others, the two sides gathered together and headed towards Tianxia City.

During this time, Xiao Mian secretly used the Beidou Sinan Plate to contact Xie Ying.

"You kid! This morning, I knew something was wrong when I saw you! It turns out that you changed your appearance and became a gigolo..."

"..., brother! Can we talk properly? To be honest, the root of this matter is still rotten from you, brother!"

"This... Where did you get this from? Could it be that I, the fat man, forced you to do such an impersonation?"

"Hehe!" A cold snort frightened Xie Ying's fat body and shook three times. Xiao Mian then continued: "The old thief Jin Bakong actually knew my identity!"

"This... So what?"

"The Jin family knew my identity, they must have learned it from the evil woman Jin Weili; the evil woman Jin Weili must have learned it from the bastard Chi Lianyun who forgot his loyalty for the sake of beauty; Chi Lianyun, isn't it the one you, brother, introduced me to? ”

“…, you can even connect them like this! ?”

“If I didn’t trust you, wouldn’t I have told Chi Lianyun my identity? How could Jin Weili know? How could the Jin family know? Now the whole city is in turmoil, everyone knows that I, Xiao Mian, escaped from Zulongju, and must have been carrying a treasure, that’s why Jin Bakong kept pestering me, almost ruining my beautiful life!”

“…, so serious! ?”

“Nonsense! If I don’t find a safe new identity, am I looking for death?”

“That’s right! That’s right! Brother is indeed a far-sighted man, and I can’t even compare to him!”

“Stop! Let’s be honest, admiration is admiration, compensation is compensation!”

“You…what do you want? I’ve heard from Chi Lianyun that you are just cheating me. !”

“…, brother! Don’t say such harsh words! What is deception or not? You asked me to help Chi Lianyun, didn’t you? I did help him, didn’t I?”

“But…but it was you who helped him first, and I asked you later! When I asked you for help, you had already helped him…”

“Is there any difference? This can only show that we are in tune with each other! Let’s take a step back. When Chi Lianyun was in danger, I had already guessed that you would never stay out of it, so I helped you solve your problems first. Is this wrong? Or: Brother, you clearly saw that Brother Yun was in danger, but you didn’t help him?”

“…”

“Ah? Is it wrong! ?”

“That’s right! That’s right!”

“That’s it! You owed me a favor last time, and you owe me another favor for revealing my identity. I'm doing you a favor, and I won't blackmail you. I just want to ask you for one thing. How about that? "

"Hehe..."

"Don't be a pig if you're a fox! Why are you humming? I don't want you to owe me too many favors, so I'm giving you a chance to settle the debt. Brother, tell me the truth: Is there a cross-state teleportation array in Tianxia City that goes directly to Lingchuan Market?"

"You kid, so that's what you were thinking about!"

"Is there one?"

"Yes!" Xie Ying was very straightforward, but before Xiao Mian could speak, Xie Ying said bluntly: "But brother advises you: don't think too much about it!"

"Why?"

"The cross-state teleportation array that goes directly to Lingchuan Market is a secret. Even if you know about it now, you are not qualified to use it; even if Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce agrees to your request, I'm afraid you can't afford it!"

"Hey! I have a bad temper! What I hate most is this kind of dog-eyed words..."

"Who are you calling a dog, kid!"

"Slip of the tongue! Slip of the tongue! What I mean is: what is the price to use the interstate teleportation array? "

"Top-grade spiritual stones!"

"..., is there no other way to compromise?"

"No! Even if I use the same amount of top-grade spiritual stones as compensation, it won't work! You have to know: every time the interstate teleportation array is opened, it must be driven by top-grade spiritual stones, and top-grade spiritual stones are rare in today's cultivation world, and one less piece is needed! Even within our Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, if it is not necessary, we would rather use treasure ships than teleportation arrays. If you don't have top-grade spiritual stones, don't even think about it!"

"If you have top-grade spiritual stones, is there any hope?"

"You kid have top-grade spiritual stones! ?"

"No..."

"No, what the hell are you talking about!"

"Just because you don't have it today doesn't mean you won't have it tomorrow! What if I'm walking on the road tomorrow and a top-grade spiritual stone falls from the sky? So, brother, you should help me contact Tianxia City. It would be best if we can use the teleportation array as soon as we arrive in Tianxia City! ”

“……, all right! You kid! But it’s not certain whether it can be done or not!”

“Okay! Brother, you can do it, brother, don’t worry!”

“Hmph! After this, we don’t owe each other anything!”

“Don’t worry! Don’t worry!”

Xiao Mian smiled and cut off the connection with Xie Ying, his face solemn.

Top-grade spirit stone?

I didn’t expect that to use the inter-state teleportation array, it would actually require top-grade spirit stones…

If I had known this, I would have let Ding Wenquan cross the Endless Ocean. At most, I would have signed another contract with Xie Bao, and I don’t think I would have wasted top-grade spirit stones.

But now, everyone has moved away from the southern coast of Chu County, and Xiao Mian has already said it, how can he go back on his word?

Fortunately, Xiao Mian got a few top-grade spirit stones from Zulongju.

It’s hard to say, this time I’m going to lose money…

Forget it! Forget it!

Just treat it as an initial investment, and come back to the Nongjialiu in the future to get back the principal and interest...

As long as Ding Wenquan can return to Wanzongyuan safely this time and take charge of the Nongjialiu, Xiao Mian will be the most distinguished guest of the Nongjialiu for hundreds of years to come!

It's worth it for just a piece of top-grade spiritual stone.

After deciding this matter, Xiao Mian no longer worried about it.

Instead, he focused on healing his wounds and dealing with the sequelae of the fierce battle with Jin Bakong that day.

In the battle that day, Xiao Mian consumed most of the five elements of spiritual energy in the immortal stone, and his own true essence was exhausted. This was not the worst. What really almost took Xiao Mian's life was the strange golden threads that Jin Bakong sent into Xiao Mian's body at the end...

The situation was urgent at the time, and Xiao Mian did not dare to resist the invasion of those golden threads at all. Therefore, the golden threads easily occupied Xiao Mian's whole body.

The moment Xiao Mian opened the forbidden spirit box, Jin Bakong intended to kill Xiao Mian.

At that time, the golden threads all over Xiao Mian's body suddenly exploded.

No matter how strong Xiao Mian's body was, he still lacked the necessary resistance to this kind of explosion from the inside out.

This was also the reason why Xiao Mian's skin was torn and blood was gushing out.

Of course, what was more serious was that Xiao Mian's meridians, bones, blood vessels and even internal organs were almost all damaged to varying degrees...

Thanks to Xiao Mian's strong body, he was able to persist and survive the disaster.

Besides, the journey back north was crowded with people and eyes, which slowed down the journey.

Ten days later, everyone arrived at Tianxia City.

It was not until this time that Xiao Mian's internal injuries were truly under control, but if he wanted to recover completely, it would probably not be a day or a night.

To Xiao Mian's surprise, everyone did not go straight into Tianxia City.

Under the leadership of Xie Ying, the group of people from Nanyuezhou were taken to Hujiazhai.

After that, Xie Ying handed over to Miss Hu San and said goodbye.

From the beginning to the end, Qingqiuzi was calm, and it was obvious that he had prepared for it.

As for Xiao Mian, he naturally made the best of it.

Anyway, he had to retreat to heal his wounds in a short period of time, so what was the difference between being in Yuntian Pavilion and in Hujiazhai?

However, this time when he entered Hujiazhai again, he did not experience the illusion formation of the heavens and the sky.

Although Hu Xiner was rude to everyone, she was quite respectful to Qingqiuzi - Xiao Mian thought carefully and laughed: these two people are still the same kind!

After entering Hujiazhai, Xiao Mian and the other four were arranged in a large courtyard, while Qingqiuzi and Ding Wenquan were arranged in a separate abode.

Seeing Qingqiuzi walking towards the Anding Hall in his memory under the guidance of Hu Xiner, Xiao Mian was thoughtful.

Nanyuezhou sent Qingqiu Patriarch to lead the envoys, and Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce arranged the Nanyuezhou envoys in Hujiazhai.

Both parties are tacitly aware of each other...

It seems that there will be no major changes in the matter discussed between Nanyue Province and Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce this time.

Xiao Mian was thinking about this secretly when he suddenly realized that someone was looking at him.

He turned around casually and smiled indifferently at Yin Jiansheng.

"I have heard of you for a long time! It's a pity that when you made a fuss in Wanzong City, I was killing monsters by the Chishui River and didn't have the chance to see you. It's a pity! A few years ago, I heard that you fell in Qin County, Zhongzhou, and I was very moved. I didn't expect that you didn't die! I, Yin Jiansheng, finally saw you! How about it? Are you interested in competing with me - the champion of the first Nanyue Sword Fighting Association!"

"Brother Yin! My old injury has not healed yet, I am afraid that I will disappoint you!"

"..., hum! Can you avoid the first day of the month?"

Having said that, Yin Jiansheng still left casually.

Xiao Mian shook his head and laughed, and saw Kong Yuanren also left with a smile, so only Xiao Mian and Jing Chu were left at the scene.

The two looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.

A moment later, in the quiet room belonging to Xiao Mian, Xiao Mian and Jing Chu sat opposite each other.

"Brother Jing Chu! How are you?"

"Brother Xiao is the one who is doing well!"

"You and I are brothers, there is no need to be so polite! To be honest, I thought it would take a long time before I could see Brother Jing Chu!"

"I thought I would never see Brother Xiao again in this life!"

"Ha! Xiao's life is worthless, and the King of Hell doesn't take it away, what can I do?"

With a casual smile, how much hardship there was, only Xiao Mian himself knew.

Ever since he left Nanyuezhou, he was chased by the mountain-piercing dragon carp beast all the way. In the following years, Xiao Mian only slept peacefully during the years when he was in Zulongju. At other times, he was either scheming or fighting to the death!

Of course, these things are really not worth telling to outsiders.

Traveling around the world was something Xiao Mian had decided to do.

The hardships and difficulties along the way were the best reflections of traveling around the world.

If he couldn't even hold on to these, Xiao Mian might as well pack up and return to Nanyuezhou as soon as possible.

At least in the Five Elements Sect, there was a position of the headmaster waiting for him...

Unfortunately, that was not his way!
