Yang Xuan sighed in his heart. As soon as the woodcutter said this, he already knew that nothing he did in the Azure Snow Imperial Palace could be hidden from this unassuming old man.
Are you guys playing Infernal Affairs? Yang Xuan was powerless to complain.
The woodcutter sighed, "If others don't have it and we don't have it, then it doesn't matter. But if others have it and we don't, young man, don't you think we're at a disadvantage?"
Yang Xuan said helplessly, "I don't know if you're at a disadvantage, but I'm at a disadvantage."
The woodcutter grinned, "This isn't a place where ordinary people can come. Moreover, you took something from the forbidden area."
Yang Xuan shook his head. He really didn't know what to say.
At this moment, he suddenly had a thought. It was as if he had become a chess piece sandwiched between three factions. He felt a sense of helplessness.
The woodcutter smiled like an old fox and continued, "Although I don't know where these stones came from, there might be records of this in the Giant Spirit Sect's library."
Yang Xuan didn't even raise his eyelids. He only said softly, "Perhaps?"
The woodcutter nodded, "Perhaps!"
Yang Xuan smiled, "What are the conditions?"
"One hundred Heaven Reversal Pills, plus the Shadow Measurement Method and the Circumference Measurement Method."
Yang Xuan didn't say anything. He only looked at the old man strangely. The old man was baffled.
After a long while, he suddenly said, "Okay!"
This time, it was the old man's turn to be puzzled. He didn't expect Yang Xuan to agree so readily.
Yang Xuan waved his hand and threw ten bottles of Heaven Reversal Pills to the old man. This was all he had on him. After giving out these ten bottles, he only had a few Heaven Reversal Pills left.
Then he explained the Shadow Measurement Method and the Circumference Measurement Method to the old man.
The old man clearly had done some research in this area. He understood after hearing it once.
After he understood, the way he looked at Yang Xuan also changed. He sighed.
After leaving the forbidden area, Yang Xuan didn't go to the Giant Spirit Sect because he had a hunch that even if he flipped through all the books in the Giant Spirit Sect's library, he probably wouldn't get any information from them.
Originally, he wanted to see Bandit Leader, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. Even if he saw Bandit Leader now, it would be useless.
After returning to Green Snow City, he suddenly realized that he didn't know what to do.
The clues about the spirit stones had been cut off, and there might not be any new clues for the time being. Was he really going to dig out those diamonds and jade to open a jewelry store?
As he walked aimlessly through the streets of Green Snow City, the lanterns were lit, and as he looked at the bustling crowd, he inexplicably thought of a poem:
Alone in a strange land as a stranger.
Now, wasn't he alone in a foreign land?
Shaking his head, he suddenly turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
When he reappeared, he was already outside Blue Snow City.
With a flash of golden light, Yang Xuan soared into the sky, streaking across the night sky.
Target: Yan State.
Along the way, Yang Xuan didn't stop at all. After a few days, he had already reached the Yan State.
Peaceful City was in sight, and a smile appeared on Yang Xuan's face.
The small Peaceful City retained many of his memories.
When he was outside the city, he had already landed. After finding an inferior horse, he rode towards Ataraxia City.
Peaceful City had changed drastically. Not to mention other things, just the tall city gate alone was comparable to that of Yanjing City. Not to mention the two rows of soldiers waiting outside the city gate, which added a bit of dignity.
A group of soldiers saw Yang Xuan riding over and pointed their spears at Yang Xuan. "Men, get off the horse. This is the hometown of the National Protector, Master Yang. Anyone who enters the city must get off the horse and walk."
Yang Xuan was stunned. When did Peaceful City have such a rule? Why didn't he know?
However, now was not the time to ask this.
After getting off the horse, he entered the city.
As soon as he entered the city, Yang Xuan sighed. This was no longer the Peaceful City in his memory. There were many shops on both sides of the street, with flags waving in the wind. The pedestrians were bustling, but in an orderly manner. It looked like a thriving city.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Suddenly, a shout came from behind him. Then, a group of people rushed over.
Yang Xuan frowned slightly. Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and pulled him to the side.
The group of people whizzed past. A few vendors couldn't dodge in time and were knocked to the ground.
"Phew … Do you want to die?"
Yang Xuan frowned and looked at the person who pulled him.
That person was a middle-aged man dressed like a scholar. At this time, he was staring at Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan chuckled and said, "Many thanks, old brother. May I know who those people are? "
The scholar shook his head and said, "In Peaceful City, who dares to be so reckless? Of course, they are from the Yang family. "
Yang Xuan was slightly stunned. There was a trace of haze in his heart, "Are they disciples of the Yang family?"
The scholar shook his head and said, "They are servants of the Yang family."
Yang Xuan was stunned again, "Servants of the Yang family?"
The scholar nodded, "Most of the direct disciples of the Yang family have gone to Yan Jing City. There are only a few people left here. Most of them are disciples of the collateral family and some servants, guarding Master Yang's hometown."
"They are bullying and dominating the city, and no one cares?"
The scholar looked at Yang Xuan as if he was an idiot, "Are you from outside? Who dares to care? Two days ago, the new mayor of Peaceful City was dragged out and beaten because he didn't pay a visit immediately. Who dares to say a word? "
Yang Xuan was silent. He really didn't expect that the foundation of the Yang family would be so rotten in such a short time.
After a while, he asked again, "The disciples of the Yang family don't care about these servants?"
The scholar sneered and said, "Maybe the disciples of the Yang family in Yan Jing City are better, but the ones in Peaceful City … Haha."
The scholar didn't finish, but Yang Xuan already understood.
The foundation of the Yang family was rotten.
Yang Xuan rose strongly, and the Yang family grew explosively. It was not strange for such a problem to occur. After all, the foundation was still too shallow.
The scholar continued, "In fact, the Yang Family's direct descendants are a bit better. Although they usually have an arrogant appearance, they are still reasonable and won't bully others. However, the Yang Family's side descendants aren't like this. Alas …"
Yang Xuan understood a little. The direct disciples of the Yang family had not broken away from the shackles of the higher-ups of the Yang family, and they still knew how to follow the rules. But the collateral family disciples did not have such restrictions. Once the Yang family gained power, even chickens and dogs would rise to the sky. Yang Xuan could imagine how many people, even distant relatives of the Yang family, would use the name of the Yang family to swindle others.
If this went on, in a few years, the Yang family would not be far from extinction.
Thinking of this, he didn't have the mood to stay any longer. He thanked the scholar, then turned and left.
Along the way, the Peaceful City in his memory had long disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a magnificent and prosperous Peaceful City.
Passing by a shop, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and some images in his memory entered his mind.
Huang Ji Clothing.
He didn't expect that the Huang Ji Clothing was still in Peaceful City.
I wonder if the boss is doing well? He thought with a smile. That day, he had made a big hole in the boss's shop.
"Bang!"
Just as Yang Xuan was thinking about this, suddenly there was a loud noise. Then, a figure flew out from the door of the Huang Ji Clothing and fell in front of Yang Xuan.
Huh?
Yang Xuan was stunned. It felt like history was repeating itself.
