Chapter 646
Chen Xuan and she went into seclusion for two years at the same time. Although Bai Li also came out of seclusion once during this period, she did not leave Zelinhai.
In other words, Chen Xuan and Bai Li have been holding back in Zelinhai for more than two years.
“Great, great, Master. It’s perfect timing to go and drink the Five Poisons Wine, a secret brew from that restaurant.”
Upon hearing about drinking, Chen Xuan looked at Bai Li with a headache and said, "Although wine is good, one should not overindulge."
After being scolded by Chen Xuan, Bai Li's pretty face flushed slightly, as if she was recalling the scenes of her seducing and teasing Chen Xuan when she was drunk. "Okay, Bai Li understands."
What kind of temperament and appearance did Chen Xuan and Bai Li have? As soon as the two landed, they were amazed by the tribal merchants and caravan guards around them.
"My God, is that the legendary fairy?"
"What a beautiful woman! Hehe, if I could marry a woman like that, I'd die happy."
"Shh, do you want to die? Just by looking at their clothes and demeanor, you can tell they are young masters and ladies from a large tribe. If you dare to speak rudely, be careful your tongue gets cut out if you're heard."
……
What were Chen Xuan and Bai Li's cultivation levels? The whispers of the surrounding tribal merchants were clearly audible. Chen Xuan remained silent, pacing back and forth, while Bai Li seemed quite pleased with the praise. She tugged at Chen Xuan's sleeve, occasionally flashing a lotus-like smile at those gossiping about her.
None of the men from the lower-class tribes dared to meet Bai Li's eyes; they all lowered their heads and dared not say another word.
"Master, did you hear that? They all say I'm very beautiful!"
"Oh yes, oh yes, yes, yes," Chen Xuan replied perfunctorily.
"Hmph, clueless, blockhead." Bai Li pouted, looking at Chen Xuan's profile with dissatisfaction.
Before long, Chen Xuan and Bai Li strolled to the queue for entering Jiangshan City. They handed two pieces of gold to two black-armored guards, and the two successfully entered the outer streets of Jiangshan City.
"Wait, something's not right, Captain?" A tall, thin guard in black armor was holding two tiny gold beans, each the size of a fingernail, that Chen Xuan had given him. He had just brushed past Chen Xuan and had only vaguely seen his face.
Although it wasn't very real, a sense of familiarity welled up in my heart.
Upon hearing his subordinate's words, another burly man in black armor frowned and looked at him, then took the city entrance fee from his hand.
"What's wrong? Why are you so startled?" The black-armored guard captain was quite satisfied with the weight of the two pieces of gold. "Now my Jiang clan has dominated the entire Qushan. Remember, no matter what happens in the future, you must remain calm and not lose the dignity of the Qushan overlord."
The tall, thin guard in black armor nodded with a forced smile. "Captain, you're right. But that person just now looked familiar, though I couldn't quite place him."
"You kid, you probably drank too much yesterday and haven't woken up yet. We're in charge of city entry matters. There are tons of people going in and out of the main gate every day. It's not normal to recognize a few of them."
"No, I just felt that the white-haired youth looked a bit like the statue in front of the Jiang clan's ancestral temple, but how could that be?"
The black-armored guard squad leader was about to send his men off to work when his next words made him stop in his tracks and turn around abruptly.
"What did you say?"
Under the captain's serious gaze, the tall, thin guard in black armor was taken aback and subconsciously said, "That young man just now looks a lot like the giant stone statue in front of the Jiang clan's ancestral temple..."
"You kid, you can't say things like that. That person is a great benefactor of our Jiang clan. My elder brother is a Red Armor Guard. He participated in the last border war. After he came back, I asked my elder brother about it. Fortunately, the ancestors did not issue a gag order. They even allowed the Red Armor Guards who participated in the war to spread the word. That's how I found out what really happened in that war."
Upon hearing this secret, the tall, thin black-armored guard and the other two black-armored guards also came over.
"Go, go, go, do your jobs well, don't let any suspicious enemies in." The squad leader looked in the direction Chen Xuan and the other man had left. "I'll go and see for myself. If he really is a great benefactor of the Jiang clan, then we must inform the clan leader immediately."
"Yes, we will certainly do our duty to the best of our ability."
Huhu——
After saying that, the squad leader transformed into a gust of wind and quickly chased after the street where Chen Xuan and Bai Li had disappeared.
