When Xiao Chen and Jiang He saw Lan Luo and Tian Ce appear together, it was not difficult for them to understand.
Why did the two of them end up here the moment they appeared?
"This is really a big battle. We've just left the tiger's den and we're already surrounded by a pack of wolves."
Jiang He pursed his lips and smiled helplessly. The saber in his hand disappeared, replaced by a treasured saber that emanated a frightening aura.
The black scabbard was engraved with Dragon Race motifs, looking mysterious and ancient.
A Soul Tool!
Jiang He also had his own Soul Tool. Or rather, it was clearly a Soul Tool related to the Dragon Race.
The supreme treasure he stole from the Dragon Clan was this saber?
However, now was not the time to think about this. Xiao Chen waved his hand to stop him from attacking further.
"Why, do you know him?"
Jiang He said doubtfully. After taking a closer look, he realized that there was indeed something wrong with the way the princess was looking at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen nodded. "Sort of."
Jiang He's grave face immediately revealed his signature smile, "You're quite something. You even have a backer in the Marquis's Residence. If I had known earlier, I would have just gone to the Marquis's Mansion directly. There was no need to go through all this trouble. "
Xiao Chen swapped out the mysterious Dragon Race saber in his hand, and the two chatted in soft voices.
On the other side, the Heavenly Book Scholar appeared somewhat helpless. The Cluster Lord had forcefully dragged him to her side.
While everyone's attention was on the Ghostly Shadow Fiend Duo, Lan Luo took the initiative to lead the city guards to block the Heavenly Book Scholar.
Helpless, he had no choice but to divine Xiao Chen's and Lan Luo's positions.
"Princess, it's best not to offend these two. Let them go. In any case, there is no direct benefit to the Marquis's Mansion. There is no need for a life and death struggle. "
Although the Heavenly Book Scholar had the bad habits of a Confucian scholar, he was not a sinister and vicious person.
Xiao Chen and Jiang He's lives had nothing to do with him, but he did not want them to die because of him either.
Who would have imagined that Lan Luo would ignore him? Instead, she headed straight for Xiao Chen.
His footsteps were hurried, and he did not look like he was going to attack Xiao Chen and Jiang He at all.
The Heavenly Book Scholar felt stunned. Then, he suddenly understood something.
Earlier, when he read Xiao Chen's character, he said that Xiao Chen would feel at ease if he stayed here. So this was the reason.
"Xiao Chen, you're already here. Aren't you going to ask if I'm here?"
Lan Luo said softly as she looked at Xiao Chen with some hidden bitterness.
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and didn't know what to say. The little monk came out from under the cloak and immediately blushed. "What a beautiful sister!"
When Lan Luo saw the little monk, her expression changed slightly. Then, she said in understanding, "So, that is the case. No wonder you are not willing to meet me. Xiao Chen, what kind of person do you take me, Lan Luo, for? "
"Even if we're just ordinary friends, there's no need to be so rude. You don't even have to greet me."
Xiao Chen looked a little embarrassed. He really didn't know how to explain.
"Hahaha, you've misunderstood, Your Highness. This person is the Little Devil Monk Silver Saber. He mistakenly ate a heavenly treasure and obtained a heaven-sent opportunity to reconstruct his body. "
The Heavenly Book Scholar walked over with a smile, helping Xiao Chen out of trouble.
"You still dare to mention it?!"
Right after the Heavenly Book Scholar spoke, the little monk flew into a rage. He immediately leaped out of the cloak and wanted to beat up the Heavenly Book Scholar again.
However, Xiao Chen clearly would not let the little monk continue messing around under such circumstances.
Xiao Chen grabbed the little monk's little hand in the air and put him back.
Now that the misunderstanding was resolved, it was Lan Luo's turn to be at a loss. "Sorry, I …"
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "It's fine. Is there any way? Cluster Lord, is there any way to send my friend out of the city? "
Now that the matter had returned to proper business, Lan Luo's expression recovered. She said softly, "It's fine to send him out of the city. However, he has to hand over the treasures he stole in the city. This is what my father instructed me to do. I can't disobey him. "
"Hehe! No problem."
Jiang He smiled carefreely, not bothering with Lan Luo at all. Then, he handed over all the treasures he stole in the city.
In reality, a small part of the reason Jiang He stole the treasures of the various major factions was due to fortuitous encounters. The bigger reason was his interest and habit.
After Lan Luo stated her conditions, Jiang He did not hesitate to do so.
In any case, after avoiding this wave, if he really needed it in the future, he could just steal it back.
"Many thanks for Cluster Lord's kind intentions. Brother Xiao, we will meet again in the future."
Jiang He showed a smile on his face as he turned and left, not lingering at all.
Now that he turned around, the next time they met, he would be a friend and not an enemy.
Lan Luo knew this very well, but Jiang He forced himself to remain expressionless as he drifted away in the night.
Jiang He slowly went further away. His cold and lonely figure disappeared into the even lonelier and colder night.
Just like that, he vanished.
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and sighed in his heart. He felt somewhat rueful, his emotions complicated.
At this moment, Xiao Chen could not leave for now. Lan Luo had set up such a large entourage.
Hence, he could not pretend that he had never been here. He felt apologetic.
The Heavenly Book Scholar performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "There should not be anything else for me to do now. I will take my leave first, lest the Heavenly Mystery Tower's people worry. Xiao Chen, although my words are not pleasant to hear, they are most likely correct. Why don't you think about it carefully? Goodbye! "
At some point in time, the elites of the city guards had vanished from the empty street.
Now, only Xiao Chen and Lan Luo remained under the bright moon.
That's not right. The little monk should be included as well.
The two chatted casually as they walked along the street. Then, Xiao Chen gave a simple explanation of why he came to the Soaring Dragon Marquisate.
Back then, Xiao Chen had come to Withered Leaf City mainly because he did not want to cause any trouble and waste time.
He could only tell her the only place he knew in the Yanwu Dynasty. Since coming here, he had encountered endless trouble, so he did not want to disturb Lan Luo. He only wanted to send the little monk back as soon as possible.
After Lan Luo heard that, she felt relieved. However, she also felt somewhat disappointed. "In that case, you are going to the Divine Dragon Empire in the end?"
Xiao Chen nodded. "If not for this little fellow, I might have already gone there."
"Why? Actually, you could have stayed in the Yanwu Dynasty. With your talent and aptitude, the eight Noble Clans and Rank 7 sects would have been willing to accept you. The dynasty is vast. This is the stage for the outstanding talents of the Great Thousand Realms, the powerful demonic geniuses. You can definitely make a name for yourself and not live in vain. "
Lan Luo felt confused. Why was Xiao Chen so insistent on going to the Divine Dragon Empire?
Clearly, there was still a gap between an empire and a dynasty.
Could it be that Xiao Chen feared the competition with the eight Noble Clans and the outstanding talents of the royal clans in the dynasty?
That was impossible. Given her understanding of Xiao Chen, that was absolutely not the reason.
After thinking about it, Lan Luo could only say that the Divine Dragon Empire was an extremely important place for Xiao Chen.
Perhaps it was a person or some place he was worried about.
Lan Luo's words stirred up a slight ripple in Xiao Chen's heart, making him feel excited.
Indeed, the four dynasties were the dreams of all the outstanding talents of the Great Thousand Realms. Only in these places could one reach the peak of cultivation, truly witness the most glorious era of the Martial Epoch.
After several eras of development, the Martial Epoch was now in its golden age.
As for the four dynasties, they held the most Luck in the Central Great Realm, attracting the outstanding talents of the various realms.
All the proud people wanted to come and give it a try.
As a cultivator, Xiao Chen was naturally no exception. He wanted to see the true outstanding talents and demonic geniuses of this age.
However, now was not the time.
"I will come, but not now. I have to go to the Divine Dragon Empire."
Xiao Chen said seriously, "It is not convenient to explain the reason now. However, many thanks for Cluster Lord's kind intentions."
Lan Luo smiled generously and said, "There is no need to thank me between us. Don't treat me as a friend. There is no need to stand on ceremony. No matter what you decide, if you need help, I will definitely help you. "
Under the cool exterior, there was a trace of affection that could not be concealed.
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and did not reply.
However, in his heart, he added, If Lan Luo runs into any trouble, I will definitely help her without hesitation.
The two casually chatted about the past and their experiences as they walked to the City Lord's Residence.
Just as the two were about to enter, Lan Luo turned around and said with a smile, "We got too engrossed in the conversation and nearly forgot about proper business."
Before Xiao Chen could ask, Lan Luo continued, "My father would like to meet you."
The Soaring Dragon Marquis wants to meet me?
This is somewhat surprising. The Yanwu Dynasty had one hundred eight provinces. The opposite sex was conferred marquis, and the family was conferred kingship.
Marquis was already the highest title in the dynasty, aside from the dynasty's king.
The Soaring Dragon Marquis was considered a major character in the entire Yanwu Dynasty. This was especially so for the Soaring Dragon Marquisate, an important land at the dynasty's borders.
The Soaring Dragon Marquis's high status was even more obvious.
Xiao Chen did not know why such a major character wanted to meet him.
After thinking about it, he concluded that it could only be because of the Cluster Lord.
