In Ming Xi's mind, the reason why the wasteland was called the wasteland was because it should be filled with grasslands, not like what they were seeing now.
It turned out that there was a town near the wasteland, and Teng Ye lived in the garrison house.
"The wasteland doesn't look too barren. There's everything in the city." Xu Jinbei said, looking at the people who looked different because of their different races. When did the wasteland become like this? Why did some people look terrified at the mention of the wasteland?
"Past that grassland is the Dark North Kingdom." Xu Jinbei pointed at the wasteland in front of the city gate. There were a few cows and sheep grazing on the grass.
"We don't have any relations with the Dark North Kingdom, so there's no need to be nervous." Ming Xi said.
Fire Phoenix asked, "What do we do now? Follow Teng Ye?"
"Let's find a place to sit down. As long as Teng Ye is in the wasteland, we can find his accomplices." Ming Xi said.
From what they heard in the secret room, Shen Yuexuan wasn't Teng Ye's only accomplice. It was best to catch them all in one fell swoop.
"Mm, we can't rush. After all, this is Teng Ye's territory." Xu Jinbei whispered.
Shang'er grabbed Ming Xi's sleeve, "I'm hungry, Ming Xi."
"When are you not hungry?" Fire Phoenix asked.
"I want to eat every day. If you have the ability, don't follow me to eat." Shang'er snorted, speaking as if he didn't like to eat.
Fire Phoenix rubbed her nose. She was short of breath and didn't know how to talk. Although they could choose not to eat, the human world was full of temptations. It was as if they would feel hungry if they didn't eat.
Ming Xi smiled, "Then let's go eat first."
"I didn't think the border wasteland would have such a scene." Walking on the street and looking at the people coming and going, Xu Jinbei let out a sigh. It seemed that what he heard was not necessarily true. Everyone said that the wasteland was barren and was not a place where people could live. But now it seemed that this was not the case.
"A few years ago, the Dark North Kingdom invaded the Wilderness. My father personally led the troops and forced the Dark North Kingdom's army of 200,000 to retreat. The captives that were captured in the battle all survived and were allowed to farm in the Wilderness for five years before being allowed to leave. However, there should be quite a number of people who stayed behind."
"King Qin … is truly a wise and farsighted emperor," Xu Jinbei said emotionally.
Ming Xi smiled faintly. That father of his was quite wise. Whether it was the Emperor of the Human Continent or Emperor Mo of the Xuantian Continent, he was a powerful god. Only in front of his mother did this expert become a god of flesh and blood.
"I suddenly thought of something," Fire Phoenix suddenly shouted.
"What are you making a fuss about? What did you think of?" Ming Xi asked.
Fire Phoenix looked at him. "Should we disguise ourselves? Teng Ye has seen us before. "
Ming Xi raised his eyebrows. He had almost forgotten about this matter. In the capital city, he had beaten up Teng Ye. Moreover, he had heard that Teng Ye's nephew had been scared silly.
"Mm." Ming Xi glanced at Xu Jinbei. "We'll disguise ourselves as his followers."
"How can I?" Xu Jinbei exclaimed in shock. How could he dare to order Ming Xi around like a follower? "It's better if I'm your follower. That way, I'll feel more at ease and won't be seen through."
Shang'er smiled and said, "Then I'll be Mingxi's child bride."
Xu Jinbei looked at Shang'er in surprise.
"Hahaha, do you even know what a child bride means?" Fire Phoenix laughed out loud.
"Of course I know. A child bride means to be with Mingxi forever." Shang'er said confidently. Madam had already explained it to her.
Fire Phoenix couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Stop laughing." Ming Xi coughed lightly. He already knew what a child bride meant. He glared at Fire Phoenix. "Let's go to the inn first and change our clothes before coming out."
"That's right. What's so funny?" Shang'er glared at Fire Phoenix.
Ming Xi held Shang'er's hand and entered the inn. There was only one superior room left in the inn, so the three youths stayed in the same room. Not long after, the four of them appeared outside the inn once again.
Fire Phoenix's appearance had changed. She was no longer a handsome youth. Her facial features looked ordinary and her eyes didn't seem to have any spirit. Xu Jinbei had only changed into the clothes of a follower. The one who changed the most was Ming Xi. His facial features were still exquisite, but his appearance had changed. He was wearing a brocade robe and fur coat. His entire body exuded a noble and elegant aura. One look and one could tell that he came from a noble family. He even had a cute little maid by his side.
It was unknown which family's young master had come out to play, but he only brought a few small followers.
Xu Jinbei looked at Fire Phoenix and Ming Xi in astonishment. He didn't know how they had changed their appearances. It was as if they had changed their appearances in an instant.
The youth was dressed in fur coat and riding a horse.
This was the only impression he had when he saw Ming Xi.
Ming Xi had become a young master who lived like a prince, a refined and noble young master.
After not seeing him for four years, the youth that he had sworn to follow forever had become even more powerful and mysterious.
He knew that Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix had many secrets, but he didn't plan on delving into them. When it was time for him to know, Ming Xi would let him know.
"Let's go to the best restaurant in this area to eat." Ming Xi said with a smile. There was a refined and romantic aura coming from his body.
"Okay, okay." Shang 'er clapped. She hadn't had a good meal in a long time.
Fire Phoenix respectfully said to Ming Xi, "Young master, please." After saying this, she even gave him a sly wink.
Xu Jinbei smiled and followed behind them to the largest restaurant at the crossroads.
Thousand Floor Tower.
This restaurant's name was really domineering. Where did the thousand floors come from?
Wasteland City was at the border after all, so there weren't many people. When the people in the restaurant saw Ming Xi appear, they all looked over. It was rare to see such a refined young master appear, so they couldn't help but be a bit curious.
"Guest, please come upstairs." The shopkeeper personally came out to receive Ming Xi. He looked at them without leaving a trace as he pondered their identity.
"It's quiet here." Xu Jinbei said as he helped Ming Xi take off the brocade coat. He did it very naturally as if he had done this countless times.
Fire Phoenix said, "I don't know if young master can get used to it."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Our Thousand Floor Tower's chefs are all invited from the capital. There is no other restaurant in Wasteland City that can compare to us."
"Our young master doesn't like the taste of the capital." Xu Jinbei said with a frown. He knew that this shopkeeper wanted to test if they were from the capital.
Ming Xi lightly said, "It's just to fill my stomach. Whatever."
"Then bring up a few of your signature dishes." Xu Jinbei said to the shopkeeper.
"Alright, please wait a moment." The shopkeeper politely said, glancing at Ming Xi from the corner of his eye.
After he left, Xu Jinbei said in a low voice, "This shopkeeper is a martial artist."
"En." The corner of Ming Xi's mouth slightly rose. There were quite a few martial artists in this inn.
