Jiang Liu the Physician Pavilion and walked along the main street towards the direction of the Ascension Tower.
Before long, Jiang Liu arrived at the Ascension Tower in Mist City. The Ascension Tower and the Physician Pavilion are on the same main street.
As soon as Jiang Liu stepped into the Ascension Tower, a female waitress immediately came to greet him.
Jiang Liu took out his Ascension Tower identity token and handed it to the waitress. The waitress took the token, checked it at the counter, and then walked to Jiang Liu 'Jiang Liu side, bowed, and said, "Young Master Jiang, is there anything you need?"
Jiang Liu said, "I want to ask your lord for some information."
The waitress bowed and said, "Please come with me, Young Master Jiang!" Then she led Jiang Liu directly to the top floor.
The waitress knocked on the door of the first room, and a loud voice came from inside, "Come in!"
The waitress pushed open the door and went in, announcing, "Master, Jiang Liu Master Jiang Liu from Yunzhou has something to discuss with you."
Bai Luoyun nodded and said, "Please invite him in!"
The waitress came out of the room and invited Jiang Liu in. Jiang Liu followed the waitress into the room, where he saw a very robust middle-aged man standing by the window. The man turned around, saw Jiang Liu, and immediately said with a big smile, "Nephew Jiang, when did you come to Mist City? Why didn't you come to Uncle Bai's place?"
Jiang Liu bowed and said, "Hello, Uncle Bai. I just arrived last night, so I came to pay my respects!"
Bai Luoyun turned to the waitress and said, "You may leave now!"
The waitress bowed in agreement, then Jiang Liu before turning and leaving the room.
Bai Luoyun said to Jiang Liu with a smile, "Nephew, I heard you were drinking at my brother's place. My good-for-nothing brother was dragged back by his wife."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu was reminded of Bai Luohe's embarrassing situation in Luocheng. He immediately exchanged a smile with Bai Luoyun, and then the two burst into laughter. In an instant, the awkwardness between them lessened.
Jiang Liu sat down next to Bai Luohe. Despite Bai Luohe's burly appearance, which made him seem like a rough man, his tea-brewing skills were quite expert. Before long, a delicate aroma of tea filled the room.
Bai Luohe poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jiang Liu. Jiang Liu took it with both hands, took a sip, and found the tea to be fragrant and slightly astringent at first, but with a hint of sweetness upon closer tasting.
Bai Luohe watched Jiang Liu sipping tea and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Nephew, what brings you to Mist City this time? You should be on your way to Qian Province now, right? You won't be passing through Mist City on your way to Qian Province."
Jiang Liu put down his teacup and said, "Uncle Bai, I was actually on my way to Qian Province, but something happened on the way, so I came to Mist City. Since I'm in Mist City, I thought I'd visit you and ask about the situation in Yunzhou."
"I see! There are many different situations in Yunzhou. Which aspect do you want to hear about?"
"Firstly, I want to understand the current situation in Yunzhou, and secondly, I want to ask about the situation in Wind City."
Bai Luohe looked at Jiang Liu and pondered for a moment before saying, "The situation in Yunzhou's Yuncheng is not good right now because the Deity Summoning Society has launched a rebellion, and the White Saint Society in Yunzhou has joined forces with the Deity Summoning Society. Now the Deity Summoning Society is in charge."
Jiang Liu was stunned when he heard this. He hadn't expected that the rebellion, which had only been quelled not long ago, would rise again. This time, it probably wouldn't be so easy to suppress.
Sure enough, Bai Luohe continued, "Now it's not just the Deity Summoning Society; the Lotus Sect in Yunzhou is also recruiting people to start establishing its own independent faction. Several Martial Prohibition Hall in Yunzhou have already been destroyed."
"Most importantly, Corpse Valley is stirring up trouble, and various Jianghu forces are just watching the show. Furthermore, none of the local forces in the various prefectures have stepped forward to help. Therefore, the Martial Prohibition Hall is in a very difficult situation now."
"However, my dear nephew, you don't need to worry about the situation in Wind City. Because the Martial Prohibition Hall in Wind City was the first to be destroyed, it is now the most peaceful place in the entire Yunzhou."
Seeing Jiang Liu's worried expression, Bai Luohe offered some words of comfort.
Jiang Liu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Bai Luohe's last sentence, and his worries lessened somewhat.
Bai Luohe then sighed, "Right now, only Qi Province, Tian Province, Qian Province, Kun Province, Kan Province, and Dui Province in the entire Daqian are relatively peaceful. The other states have already begun to show signs of rebellion."
"The main force of the White Saint Society has now all gone to Feng Province, and has completely abandoned their stronghold, Mo Province. So Feng Province is the most chaotic now, followed by Yunzhou."
Bai Luohe continued, "It seems that the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty will soon repeat itself."
Jiang Liu looked at Bai Luohe and saw that he didn't seem like someone who cared about the country and its people at all.
Bai Luohe, seeing the strange look Jiang Liu was giving him, laughed and scolded, "What? Can't an uncle even sigh a little?"
Jiang Liu smiled helplessly and said, "Uncle Bai, you misunderstand. I was just wondering why you also have such a heart that cares about the country and its people."
"Don't assume that everyone who Ascension Tower is only after profit! Of course, making money is the most important thing. But with the unstable situation, our business isn't doing well either!"
Jiang Liu asked in surprise, "Is there anyone who dares to disrupt the business of the Ascension Tower?"
Bai Luohe said, "We're not worried about external interference; the main concern is internal strife!"
Jiang Liu thought of what Murong Yin had said about the conflict between the old and new factions within the Ascension Tower, and nodded in understanding.
"Alright, let's not talk about these troublesome things. Nephew, how long do you plan to stay in Mist City this time? Your uncle can do his best to be a good host." Bai Luohe changed the subject.
"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Bai. I only plan to stay in Mist City for a day or two. I'm afraid something might happen on the way, so I plan to head to Qian Province as soon as possible."
Bai Luohe said with a regretful expression, "I was originally planning to take my nephew to see the local customs and culture of Mist City, but I didn't expect that my nephew had to leave in such a hurry. Then let's get together again next time when we have time."
Jiang Liu stood up and bowed repeatedly, saying, "Of course, of course. I'll also trouble Uncle Bai to help me send a message back to Wind City to let Yin'er know I'm safe."
Bai Luohe joked, "Even if you don't say it, I will. Yin'er has been keeping an eye on your news."
Jiang Liu apologized and left the secret room.
Bai Luohe watched Jiang Liu's departing figure and muttered to himself, "I never expected this kid to be so extraordinary. He has already advanced to the level of Minor Grandmaster. I never thought that old man Murong Lie would find such a good grandson-in-law in his old age."
Jiang Liu did not expect that Bai Luohe had seen through his advancement to the Junior Minor Grandmaster level. Because Jiang Liu's internal injuries had not fully healed, he could not perfectly control the internal energy, which is why Bai Luohe noticed him.
The reason Du Liang discovered it earlier was because Du Liang helped Jiang Liu with his examination.
Jiang Liu the Ascension Tower and headed towards the Exotic Beast Valley's Mist City outpost. As soon as he returned to the Exotic Beast Valley's main hall, he saw several Exotic Beast Valley disciples discussing something.
Jiang Liu didn't pay much attention to it and went straight into the backyard.
