Early this morning, Jiang Liu walked out of the North District and headed forward. He had heard people say that there was a temple outside the north of the city, and Jiang Liu guessed that there should be Buddhist monks there.
The Buddhists in this world are different from those Jiang Liu knew before. In this world, Buddhists are only considered Buddhists if they are recognized by the Buddhist community. Not just anyone from any temple can be considered a Buddhist.
Jiang Liu walked for about seven or eight miles before a temple appeared before him. Jiang Liu quickly spread his body and flew to the temple gate in a few leaps.
When Jiang Liu arrived at the temple gate, he looked up and saw the three characters "Baochan Temple" hanging on the plaque. Before Jiang Liu even went inside, he heard a series of Zen chants coming from the temple; it turned out that they were doing their morning prayers.
Jiang Liu strolled inside, and soon a young novice monk greeted him, pressing his palms together, "Good morning, benefactor. How can I help you?"
Jiang Liu nodded and said, "I have long admired your temple, and I have come here today to visit!"
"Please feel free to visit, as long as you don't go into the Great Hero Hall or the back hall!" the young novice monk said.
Jiang Liu nodded and began to wander around casually. The young novice monk, seeing this, didn't say anything more and turned back to continue cleaning.
As Jiang Liu walked, he gradually moved away from the Great Hero Hall and strolled leisurely throughout the temple. He looked around, seemingly filled with curiosity about everything.
Before long, they arrived at the gate of a secluded courtyard. There were two monks guarding the entrance. Before Jiang Liu could get close, one of the monks came forward and asked, "Benefactor, is there anything I can help you with?"
Jiang Liu quickly replied, "I'm just taking a casual look around, it's nothing!"
"Please go to the front, benefactor. This is the back hall, and we cannot receive you here!" the monk said, bowing.
Jiang Liu nodded, turned, and left. He rounded the courtyard wall, came to the side, and unleashed his Divine Sense. Just as he crossed the wall and approached the room, a loud shout rang out, "Who's there?"
Then a person dressed in a yellow robe, who looked like a monk, flew into the air and was looking around to see who was investigating him.
When Jiang Liu heard someone shout, he knew something was wrong, so he immediately vanished from the spot.
After searching for a long time without finding anyone, Jiekong had no choice but to turn back and enter the courtyard. As soon as he opened the door, he looked at Xiao Yuping and the other women with a lewd grin, "Little lady, let's continue!"
Jiang Liu flew out of Baochan Temple, thinking to himself, "It seems there are Buddhists here, and their strength is not low! It seems that the Buddhists that the Lotus Sect contacted have settled here."
Jiang Liu returned to his residence and pondered for a while, then decided not to disturb the Buddhist monks.
During this time, Wang Jian also reported to Jiang Liu on the progress of subduing the smaller forces, and the Hai family also began sending people to Wind City. Jiang Liu did not meet with them, but only instructed the Wang Family to keep an eye on things.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Liu packed up his things at home, then set off with his pack. He planned to go into the Ten Thousand Mountains to bring the Frostwing Dragon with him to Cloud City.
Since the decision has been made to subdue the young talents of Yunzhou, having Lesser Beast King- level Exotic Beast by one's side will at least provide some strength.
But as soon as he stepped out of the gate, Jiang Liu was taken aback to see Murong Yin and Feng Yue each standing beside a carriage. Were they here to see him off?
Jiang Liu stepped forward and asked, "Ladies, what brings you here?"
Murong Yin glanced at Feng Yue and spoke first, "My grandfather wants me to go to Yuncheng with you!"
Feng Yue then added, "My grandfather also told me to go to Yuncheng with you!"
Jiang Liu was speechless. He looked left and right, unsure how to respond.
The two women remained silent, waiting for Jiang Liu's reply.
Then, Jiang Liu said firmly, "You can't come with me. I have to go to the mountains first!" He then turned around and prepared to leave.
Upon seeing this, Murong Yin hurriedly said, "Wait, take this identity token!" He then handed over a jade tablet.
Feng Yue looked at Jiang Liu with a resentful expression.
Jiang Liu took the identity token handed to him by Murong Yin, nodded to Feng Yue, and turned to leave.
The two women watched Jiang Liu's figure disappear into the distance, then exchanged a glance, and without saying a word, they each got into their carriages and left.
Jiang Liu flew out of the West City gate and into the air, heading towards the ice pool of the Frostwing Dragon.
As soon as Jiang Liu approached the icy pool, the Frostwing Dragon flew out and gently flapped its wings near Jiang Liu. From the information transmitted by the Frostwing Dragon, Jiang Liu understood its mood and was very happy.
Jiang Liu flew forward, sat cross-legged on the back of the Frostwing Dragon, and flew out of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
When the Frostwing Dragon flew over the gathering point, it immediately caused panic among the crowd. People felt the aura of the Frostwing Dragon's Lesser Beast King and were trembling with fear.
He was terrified that if he wasn't careful, he would attract the attention of the Frostwing Dragon and be killed by its breath.
Some people who were farther away stared wide-eyed at the back of the Frostwing Dragon, as if they saw a boy sitting there. At first, they couldn't believe it because they were far away.
But when they got close enough to it and then flew away into the distance, they finally realized that the Frostwing Dragon was actually a young boy's mount.
They all stared in disbelief as Jiang Liu sailed away, then began to discuss among themselves. From that day on, news spread from the gathering point that a young boy was riding a Lesser Beast King.
Everyone praised the Exotic Beast Valley for having a worthy successor, even managing to tame the Lesser Beast King. Several months later, when this news reached Mo Yi's ears...
Jiang Liu sat on the back of the Frostwing Dragon and circled half of Wind City before turning to the North District and flying towards Cloud City.
Not long after flying away from Wind City, they suddenly saw a somewhat familiar carriage on the road. They immediately realized that it was Murong Yin's carriage. So she was also going to Yuncheng!
Jiang Liu was about to urge the Frostwing Dragon to fly past Murong Yin's carriage when suddenly, Murong Yin's figure flew out of the carriage and stared at Jiang Liu with unblinking eyes.
Jiang Liu had no choice but to order the Frostwing Dragon to stop and asked, "Miss Murong, are you also going to Cloud City?"
"I told you before that I was going to Yuncheng, but since you weren't coming with me, I had to go by myself!" Murong Yin said with a resentful look.
Jiang Liu's expression froze for a moment, then he chuckled awkwardly, "Didn't I just say I was going to the mountains? I didn't expect to run into you here!"
"Can you take me with you now?" Murong Yin asked Jiang Liu expectantly.
"Alright! But what about your carriage?" Jiang Liu could only say helplessly.
"It's alright, we'll just send the carriage back! Wait for me a moment," Murong Yin said excitedly. He then returned to the carriage, took out his personal belongings, and placed them on the back of the Frostwing Dragon.
Immediately afterwards, a woman dressed as a maidservant emerged from the carriage and cried out, "Miss, you can't abandon me!"
"Cuier, you go back with the carriage! Tell Grandpa that I went to Yuncheng with Jiang Liu." After saying that, he ignored Cuier and urged Jiang Liu to let the Frostwing Dragon take off.
Cuier, still on the carriage, anxiously called out to the air, "Miss, you can't abandon me!"
At this moment, two figures of Rank 9 Martial Practitioner appeared in the air and said to Murong Yin, "Miss, Master has ordered us to protect your safety! You cannot act recklessly!"
Murong Yin said nonchalantly, "I have Jiang Liu protecting me, and didn't you see that this Frostwing Dragon is Lesser Beast King?"
"With it around, isn't it much safer than having you all by my side for protection?" Murong Yin said, looking at Jiang Liu with an earnest expression.
Jiang Liu could only nod helplessly.
The two old men glanced at the Frostwing Dragon and Jiang Liu, and could only nod. "Then we'll follow the carriage to Cloud City. You and Young Hero Jiang can ride the Frostwing Dragon together!"
When Murong Yin saw that the two old men had agreed, he immediately winked at Jiang Liu with delight.
Jiang Liu understood and commanded the Frostwing Dragon to take off. The Frostwing Dragon's huge body flew into the air, flapped its wings, and flew away.
Murong Yin looked around excitedly. This was the first time she had been outside alone. Then she turned to look at Jiang Liu, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.
