"My name is Ximen Ziling. My sister is Ximen Baibai."
Before the white-clothed woman could say anything, the purple-clothed woman spoke on her behalf. Not only did she speak for her, but she also took the opportunity to introduce herself.
"Baibai, that's a cute name. I'll remember it."
Du Feng faintly smiled and suddenly grabbed Ximen Baibai's little hand. This time, she was scared to death. She was about to withdraw her hand, but she froze. She just let Du Feng hold her hand. Her cheeks were slightly red, obviously shy, but she couldn't bear to let go.
This was because Du Feng had taken the opportunity to stuff the jade pendant into her palm when he grabbed Ximen Baibai's hand. After getting the jade pendant, Ximen Baibai immediately reacted. The handsome young master in front of him was Young Master Du who was on the ship previously.
She didn't expect him to be even more handsome than she imagined. The two of them knew each other, so she wasn't so shy when he held her hand.
"Oh, you two know each other. Why didn't I know?"
Ximen Ziling looked. Her sister actually knew such a handsome man, but she didn't know at all. She couldn't even bear to let go of his hand. It seemed like they had known each other for a long time. She actually suspected that this person was Mr. Du, but she quickly dispelled the idea.
Going missing at the bottom of the Sky River and coming back alive was a pipe dream. Besides, even if he could come back alive, he couldn't have arrived before the Temple of Heaven. Such a young man, if he wasn't a resident of the Southern Heaven Realm, then he came on the Temple of Heaven. How could he be Mr. Du?
"I'll look for you when I come back from Hearthstone City."
After saying this, Du Feng stuffed a voice transmission talisman into Ximen Baibai's hand and turned to leave. His movements were elegant and graceful, causing the others to stare at him in awe. By the time they reacted, Du Feng was already far away. His pace looked slow, but it was actually extremely fast. In a short while, he left the vicinity of the river bank.
"Not bad, sister. I didn't know you were the expert."
Ximen Ziling was obviously jealous. In the past, men had always paid attention to her and not Whitey Ximen. This time, Du Feng actually took the initiative to talk to his sister. He didn't even look at Ximen Ziling. The little flame of jealousy in her heart began to burn.
Whitey Ximen didn't know how to respond. Fortunately, the heroic female martial artist took over the conversation. "Second Miss, let's go. Didn't you say you were going to take me to buy a hairpin?"
"Yes, yes, come with me to the market."
Whitey Ximen took this opportunity to escape. Otherwise, his sister was going to flip out. Just like that, she led the heroic female warrior towards the direction of the market. The city that was next to the riverbank of the Southern Heaven Realm was called the North Shore Immortal City. It represented that it was located in the northeast of the Southern Heaven Realm.
This was the south bank of the Sky River, but it was the north bank of the Southern Heaven Realm. The biggest feature of this city was that it had a huge market with a dazzling array of goods. Not only were there warriors from the Southern Heaven Realm doing business here, warriors from the Eastern Heaven Realm and the Northern Heaven Realm were also doing business here, or simply opening shops here.
It could be said that the bald martial artists of the Western Heaven Realm rarely came here to trade. Warriors from the Western Heaven Realm were required to have a pure heart and few desires. They couldn't be obsessed with making money, so they weren't very interested in doing business.
At this time, Du Feng had entered the North Shore Immortal City earlier than Whitey Ximen and Ximen Ziling. As long as one could land legally, they could enter the North Shore Immortal City. They didn't need to pay a toll. In other words, the passage fee was included in the ticket. This was also why the ticket was so expensive.
When he entered the city gate, Du Feng used his boat ticket to get a free pass. This pass was only valid for a month. During this month, one could buy and sell freely in the North Shore Immortal City. After buying enough goods, one could leave on the next month's passenger ship.
If one wanted to continue staying in the North Shore Immortal City, one would have to give a pass. The most amazing thing about the North Shore Immortal City was the renewal fee. The first month was free, which made one feel like it was a good deal. But on the second month, one had to renew the fee. The renewals didn't seem high, but they had to renew it every month. Any outsider who dared to not renew the fee would immediately be wanted by the entire city. They would be hunted down as criminals, beaten up, and then chased out.
Being chased out would be miserable, because one couldn't buy a ticket outside the city. One could only stay at the pier every day and see if they could find a boat to sneak onto.
Just now, when Du Feng left the pier, he saw a group of wandering martial artists wandering around. They were dressed in tattered clothes, and they were begging Du Feng. They had long since lost the dignity of a warrior.
Du Feng didn't pity them, because pitiful people were hateful. If these people had worked hard in the North Shore Immortal City for a month, they definitely wouldn't have been chased out and couldn't buy a ticket. They wanted to bring him back to the other side of the river for free. That way, they wouldn't have to pay for the ticket.
If it were in the past, even if Du Feng didn't pity the adult warriors, he might pity the children. But now, the children were the main force of the swindlers. The money they swindled every day was more than what a working warrior could earn. So Du Feng glanced at them, then left without giving them a single cent.
The first thing Du Feng did when he entered the North Shore Immortal City was take out a map. Not to find the way, but to verify. This was because he had bought this map from a bookstore in East Immortal City. He wanted to verify that it matched the actual situation.
"Mm, at least they have a conscience."
After comparing the main streets and landmarks, the things recorded on the map were basically accurate. But there were many small shops and alleys that weren't marked on the map. Du Feng thought about it. He was afraid of heights, so he had to buy another map.
This time, he didn't want to buy it on the streets. It would be too easy to meet swindlers, and it would be too easy to be targeted by thieves. So after putting the map away, Du Feng took big strides towards a bookstore.
This time, he didn't go to a small bookstore, but a huge one with three floors. From afar, he could see the words "Myriad Scriptures Pavilion". One look at the name and he knew that the owner was very confident. He must have a lot of books, otherwise he wouldn't dare to name it so arrogantly.
"Sir, this way please. The map is on the first floor."
When he reached the entrance, the shop assistant greeted Du Feng warmly.
