Chapter 70: Young Master Li is Back!

Above the mountain pass.

Li Ran and Yue Jianli were traveling through the air.

"I want to go to Wu Yang City, what about you? Return to the sect?" Li Ran asked.

Yue Jianli shook her head and said, "The sect has sent a message asking me to go to Mount Feiyun."

In fact, she had already received this news a long time ago. She just pretended to not know.

She was reluctant to leave the Yun Xiao Village.

Li Ran sighed. "I don't know when I'll be able to see you again."

Yue Jianli tilted her head and said, "You and I are different. It's better off to not see each other again."

She didn't know why, but her nose was sour when she said this, and her heart tightened.

Li Ran was used to her speech manners.

"Since that's the case, I’d better avoid you…" he said deliberately.

"You dare!” Yue Jianli's cheeks puffed. "If you dare to hide from me, I-I will kill you with one strike!"

“……” Li Ran smiled and said, "You only know how to fight and kill. You won't be able to get married like that."

Yue Jianli snorted coldly, "The sword way is my companion. I don't need a man!"

"All right, you're a noble Sword Immortal. Don’t destroy the mortal world, okay?" Li Ran said, "If there’s no other business, I will leave first?"

"Wait a minute." Yue Jianli stopped him and said softly, "You have to be careful. Song Qingsong's matter is very serious. I probably have been called to Mount Feiyun for this."

"Don't worry, I won't reveal what happened inside the secret realm."

"You'd better not stay outside for long. When you're done, you should hurry back to the sect and wait for the matter to die down." She kept reminding him, her impression didn't look like a sword immortal at all.

"Alright, I got it."

Li Ran rubbed her head. "Don't you see who I am? Venerable Hao Yue, if he wants to touch me, he has to think twice before taking action."

"Tch, you're the worst…" Yue Jianli's face turned red, but she did not remove Li Ran's hand.

"Then I'll really leave this time."

"En…"

"Goodbye, little wife."

"Who, who is your wife!" Yue Jianli was just about to draw her sword when Li Ran had already disappeared without a trace.

Her face turned red as she gritted her teeth. "This pervert, don't let me catch you next time!"

After saying this, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl into a smile, her eyes rippling with light. "Don’t let me catch you next time, you rotten egg ……"

Wu Yang City…

This was the imperial capital of the dynasty. It was the most prosperous city-state in the Haotian Empire.

Flying above the Imperial City was strictly prohibited.

Li Ran landed outside the city and walked towards the city gate with his hands clasped behind his back.

Wu Yang City's wall was tall and sturdy. Above the huge city gate lies two words ‘Wu Yang’ painted in silver and iron shade.

The words engraved on the wall stood imposing.

It was said that these two words were written by the ancient emperor of the Sheng Clan, who was said to be able to exterminate all demons.

The city gate profiling was very strict. Those who entered the city lined up, waiting for the officers to inspect them.

Li Ran stood at the back of the line.

It was winter, but he only wore a thin white robe, and his face was incomparably handsome. It was obvious that his background was extraordinary.

He attracted the attention of the surrounding people.

When it was his turn, the soldiers were stunned for a moment. Then, they exclaimed, "Young Master Li, you're back?!”

Li Ran was stunned. “You know me?"

The officer smiled fawningly. "You're handsome and elegant, like a firefly in the dark. How could I not recognize you?"

Li Ran was speechless. "……"

As the capital of Wu Yang City, there were a lot of cultivators coming and going every day. There was no lack of ruthless murderers.

The investigation of the city gate had become a high-risk occupation. If one was careless, one might lose one’s life.

For this reason, the officers and soldiers specially prepared a picture book with important people they could not afford to provoke.

As for Li Ran, he was on the top. He had a danger level of five stars!

"Young Master Li is here, why aren't you here to welcome him!"

The officer called out and the others dropped their investigation work. They all ran over.

They stood in front of Li Ran and bowed.

"Young Master Li, welcome home!"

“……”

"Their postures, I thought I had come to a bathhouse."

Li Ran couldn't complain and walked into the city under everyone's respectful gazes.

Standing on the street of Wu Yang City, Li Ran couldn't help but sigh.

The city was prosperous.

The road made of bluestone was very wide, and shops were lined on the streets.

The palace cornices were filled with ancient charm.

The street was crowded with people, and the piercing shouts of the peddlers could be heard.

Looking afar, he could see the imperial palace as he climbed up the stairs.

The palace in the center was located at the highest vantage point. From a distance, one could observe the resplendent of the palace.

The surrounding palaces were situated in different elevations, depicting a scene of a moon surrounded by various arching stars.

"This city is well structured." Li Ran nodded.

This time, he returned to Wu Yang City for two matters.

The first matter was to annul the engagement.

The second matter was to deliver the Spirit Fruit.

Li Ran still valued this agreement.

After that period of time, he and Xiao Qingge were genuine friends.

Moreover, the other party was worried about his safety and insisted on handing over the Spirit Fruit to him. He attached great importance to this sentiment.

However, other than knowing his friend’s name was Sun Qingqing, he knew nothing else.

"That girl didn't even give me her address. She said that when I arrive at Wu Yang City, I naturally would see her… she's so mysterious."

At that moment, a group of people ran past him.

Li Ran grabbed one of them. "Brother, do you know how to get to the Sun Manor?"

"I don't know." The person shook his head and said, "The Li family has already gone to the Xiao family to set up a challenge at the arena. Why are you still looking for Sun Manor? Don't you want to watch a lively scene?"

"The Li Family and… the Xiao Family’s challenge?" Li Ran was stunned.

That was a lot of information to digest!
