"Huh?"
Yuan Hongfei glanced at Magpie Lady and the others beside Zhou Yang. At this moment, the three of them were wearing veils to avoid unnecessary trouble. Hence, Yuan Hongfei didn't look at them too much and just said, "Who are you? Why aren't you scram?"
"I've paid," Zhou Yang said in a low voice.
"You have to get lost even if you've paid. Do you know who this is? How dare you stay here?" Yuan Hongfei said sternly.
"I don't know, and I don't care. I just want to finish my tea."
"Haha …"
The man behind Yuan Hongfei laughed, then walked to Zhou Yang and said, "Kid, I'll give you a slap. If you can still talk, I'll let you sit here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man attacked.
Bang!
The two men's palms collided. Zhou Yang took a step back and frowned. This man's cultivation had reached the sixth rank of the Wood Star State. If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Yang's body was strong enough to make up for his lack of cultivation, he would have been blown away.
"I only took a step back."
The man frowned and looked a little embarrassed.
"Let's not drink today. Let's go …"
The young man still didn't look back, but he seemed to be a little impatient. After a while, he walked toward the city gate.
"Kid, go back to where you came from. You can't stay in the imperial city anymore." Yuan Hongfei smiled coldly and chased after the young man in front of him.
Zhou Yang didn't say anything. He just finished the tea in his hand and left.
"Brother, you're still going into the city?"
At this time, Yu Xiao walked over.
"Why? Can't I go into the city?" Zhou Yang was confused.
"Brother, it seems that you're new here. Do you know who that man was?"
"Who was he?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
"There are less than three people here who can recognize him, and I happen to be one of them. That man is Hua Yusheng, one of the Five Hidden Dragons. He's worth 68 million!"
Five Hidden Dragons, worth 68 million!
Zhou Yang frowned. He didn't expect to meet Hua Yusheng, one of the Five Hidden Dragons, as soon as he arrived at the foot of the imperial city.
Although he hadn't seen the Rising Star List, he knew about the Five Hidden Dragons.
Like the Eight Geniuses of the South, the Five Hidden Dragons were only a title, but it was completely different from the Eight Geniuses.
The Five Hidden Dragons were known as the five greatest geniuses under the age of 25 in the entire Draconic Martial Country. It was said that the strongest of the Five Hidden Dragons, Xu Moyuan, had already reached the Gold Star Realm.
To be able to reach the Gold Star realm before the age of 25, that kind of existence was simply demonic.
The eight geniuses were not even worth mentioning in the Imperial City. For example, Zhou Aotian, who had a net worth of more than 15 million, could not even enter the Rising Star List in the Imperial City.
One had to know that even the weakest person among the ninety-nine people on the Rising Star List had a net worth of 15.6 million.
The net worth of those ranked above 90 had already exceeded 20 million.
Although his net worth had reached 20 million after the battle in the royal city, he had not been to the imperial city, so his net worth would not be included in the Rising Star List of the imperial city. His name would only appear on the Rising Star List after he joined the top 10 martial arts dojos in the imperial city, entered the martial arts academy, and experienced a battle.
Thinking of this, he looked at Yu Xiao and asked, "Brother Yu, are you from the Li Family Martial Arts Hall?"
"Yes, I joined not long ago." Yu Xiao said proudly.
"How is the relationship between the Li family and the Imperial City?" Zhou Yang asked. Yu Xiao's expression froze, and he said in a low voice, "Brother, it's better not to ask about these things."
Zhou Yang nodded. Yu Xiao's expression told him that the Li family was probably the one that his aunt had asked him to find.
"I wonder if Brother Yu is willing to bring me to the Li family," Zhou Yang said.
"Brother, do you want to join the Li family too?"
"That's right!" Zhou Yang nodded.
"Brother, you came at the wrong time. The Li family Martial Arts Hall's public assessment is only held in spring. You can't enter at other times unless you're invited by them." Yu Xiao shook his head.
"I'll try my luck." Zhou Yang smiled.
"Alright, it's on the way, but I won't speak up for you."
Yu Xiao shook his head and walked forward. Zhou Yang did not say anything else and followed Yu Xiao.
Although there were many martial artists in the military at the gate of the imperial city, they did not stop them from entering the city.
"It's so crowded …"
Magpie Lady sighed as she looked at the crowd on the wide street.
"Tanghulu, tanghulu …"
"There's also a sugar man …"
Mengmeng, who had been frowning for the past few days, finally cheered up.
"It seems like it's really your first time in the imperial city. I was the same when I first came here. But brother, it's not a good thing for you to bring a family with you …"
Yu Xiao gradually became more talkative, but he mostly talked about the prosperity of the imperial city. It seemed that the purpose of his cultivation was to enjoy the prosperity here.
Zhou Yang did not think that there was anything wrong with it. Everyone had their own reasons, and Yu Xiao's way of living was not wrong.
"We're here!"
After an hour, they finally arrived at the Li family Martial Arts Hall.
The Li family Martial Arts Hall was located in the west of the city. The Spirit Qi here was much denser than in the bustling city. The surroundings were quieter, and there were even lakes and bamboo forests …
"Don't be fooled by this remote and quiet place. The people who can live here are either rich or noble. Six of the top ten martial arts halls in the imperial city are in this area, so you must be careful not to offend anyone when you go back."
Yu Xiao seemed to be certain that Zhou Yang would return empty-handed. He walked to the door, showed his token, and entered.
After Yu Xiao entered, Zhou Yang also arrived at the door.
As expected, he was stopped. Even though he took out his recommendation letter, the guard still took it in skeptically.
After an hour, the guard finally led them to the main hall of the mansion.
Then, there was a long wait.
Zhou Yang was fine. He could cultivate while waiting, but the magpie girl and the other two were really impatient.
It was not until evening that three people walked into the main hall.
"You're Zhou Yang?"
The leader was a middle-aged man. Beside him were a young man in luxurious clothes and an old man dressed like a butler.
"Yes!" Zhou Yang nodded.
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "The higher-ups did inform me to take you in. I also know about your situation. Your father is still in prison, right?"
"That's right …"
"It's good that you know. This is the imperial city, not your Jiangnan County, so don't cause any trouble. Go to the Disciple Pavilion now. I've already made arrangements for you. From now on, you'll be a sword attendant disciple, and you'll serve the disciples in the martial arts hall while they cultivate."
"Serve? What do you mean? "Tang Yuewu said unhappily.
"What do I mean? You can't just eat and drink for free. My Li family isn't a charity … "
The one who finished speaking was the young man.
"We've never thought of eating and drinking for free."
"You've got a family to feed, and you're still not eating and drinking for free? Also, why are the three of you wearing veils? Take them off," the young man said sternly.
The three of them could not help but look at Zhou Yang. Although Zhou Yang was a little unhappy, the situation was not clear. There was no need to argue with this foppish man, so he nodded.
The three women immediately removed their veils.
