Yi Tower, behind the ink stone counter, the old man concentrated on carving the wood carving in his hands, never raising his head.
In front, Ning Chen stood quietly, waiting patiently without urging.
On the second floor, guests came and went, but there were far fewer guests than on the first floor. Obviously, the price of treasures on this floor was not acceptable to ordinary people.
The razor slashed across the sacred tree, sound after sound, neither hasty nor slow, nor panic nor chaos, like the most perfect rhythm, echoing on the second floor.
Gradually, the pedestrians stopped and looked at the wooden carving in the old man's hand, with a strange expression on their faces.
"Master"
A young man dressed as a bookboy looked at the young man in colorful clothes next to him and said in a solemn voice.
The young man's eyes narrowed, he said nothing and looked ahead quietly.
Not far away, several young people in gorgeous clothes also stopped, with solemn looks flashing in their eyes.
As the wood carving was about to be completed, forbidden lines loomed, and strange runes lingered, then disappeared little by little and disappeared into the wood carving.
"Go and have a look"
The young man in colorful clothes said something and immediately walked to the counter.
The book boy heard this and hurried to follow.
While the two of them were moving, several young people not far away also stepped forward.
"Shopkeeper, how much does this wood carving cost?" the young man in Chinese clothes asked.
"Not for sale"
The old man responded lightly, threw the wooden sculpture to the young man in red in front, and said, "Three thousand Immortal Jade"
Ning Chen took the wood carving, waved Immortal Jade away, and said calmly, "Thank you."
After saying that, Ning Chen handed the wood carving to the little girl beside him and said softly, "Take it and play with it, don't leave it."
Yin'er took a look at the wood carving, and his little face smiled, as bright and dazzling as a flower blooming.
Several young people dressed in aristocratic attire looked strange when they saw it. Such a precious treasure was actually given to a little girl. Who was this young man?
In front of the book boy, Qin Bai's expression also calmed down, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
"Let's go"
Ning Chen didn't pay attention to the looks of several people and walked downstairs.
A'man followed Yin'er and left together under the watchful eyes of everyone.
"Go check this person's identity," Qin Bai said.
"Yes"
The book boy responded respectfully.
Outside Yi Tower, three people walked out. Yin'er was gesticulating with the wood carving, looking very happy.
The wood carving is of a young girl who looks to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old if she looks closely. She is so lifelike that every strand of hair is clearly visible.
"Ning Chen, where are we going?"
After walking for a while, Yin'er saw that there were fewer and fewer pedestrians.
"Visit the senior law enforcer" Ning Chen responded.
"Are you really going?"
Yin'er said not too interested.
"Be polite"
Ning Chen patted the little girl's head and said.
Yin'er curled his lips, not believing a word he said. He looked at the woman beside him and said softly, "Little Martial Aunt, Ning Chen, why do you want to visit that law enforcer?"
A'man smiled and said softly, "Because this will save a lot of trouble."
Seeing the little girl's incomprehensible look, A'man patiently explained, "There are some people who have been following us. After we visited the senior law enforcer, if these people want to pay attention, we have to weigh it carefully."
"Oh"
Yin'er then realized it and wrinkled his nose at someone. He said he had to be polite and lie.
Ning Chen smiled helplessly, A'man is really getting smarter and smarter.
Deep in the ancient city, in a quiet courtyard, Elder Qinglian looked at the blooming lotus in the pond in front of him. His old face was as calm as water, with no waves visible.
Is it finally here?
"Junior Ning Chen, please see the senior law enforcer"
At this moment, a respectful voice came from outside the mansion, breaking the calm in the mansion.
"Come in"
Elder Qinglian said.
"Thank you, senior"
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure in red stepped forward, followed by two girls who looked like women. They looked similar in age, but had completely different temperaments.
Seeing the two girls next to Ning Chen again, Elder Qinglian couldn't hide his emotion. The little girl was okay. Although her qualifications were good, she couldn't be said to be shocking. However, the woman next to her was a bit scary.
His soul is clear and flawless, a true genius. For thousands of years, he has only heard of such flawless martial arts in legends.
"Senior law enforcer, junior, excuse me for disturbing you," Ning Chen stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said.
"No need to be polite, did you encounter any trouble along the way?" Elder Qinglian responded.
Ning Chen stood up, shook his head, and said, "It went well. I passed by this city and came to visit my senior as promised."
Elder Qinglian nodded and said, "Qinglian City is one of the forty-nine celestial cities on this road. I have been responsible for guarding this city for nearly a hundred years. This time, Ancient Battlefield reappears. Several Star Lords and Territory Lords hope that someone in your generation can turn on Ancient Battlefield. Last time you took action to protect the young man, there was a lot of movement, which may attract the attention of interested people, so be careful."
"Thank you, senior, for reminding me. I will keep it in mind," Ning Chen responded.
Seeing the humble attitude of the young man in front of him, Elder Qinglian's expression softened slightly and he said, "I know that you are extraordinary in strength, but the dangers you have to face on this road may be far more than what you seem now. In addition, some of the Star Lords and Territory Lords have begun to notice you. No matter what happens in the future, they don't want this road to become a dead end. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I won't offend others unless they offend me," Ning Chen said.
Elder Qinglian Hearing this, a look of concentration flashed through his eyes, and he said, "It's not that the Star Lords and Territory Lords are trying to force others into trouble, it's just that your strength is no longer suitable to compete with these young people on this ancient road. Ancient Battlefield This matter is of great importance. I hope you can put the overall situation first and try to restrain yourself."
"As I said before, I will not offend others unless they offend me. This is the greatest guarantee that this junior can give, and there cannot be any more," Ning Chen said seriously.
Elder Qinglian sighed lightly and nodded. There is such a variable that exceeds the limit. Of course, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
"I heard that there will be a grand gathering organized by the younger generation in the city in ten days. At that time, several of the most powerful young people from the three major star regions of Zhutian, Lingxu, and Hongluan will meet for the first time. This is an opportunity. I hope you can stay. Not to mention that you must make friends with these people, at least meet them, and you may be able to avoid some unnecessary conflicts in the future." Elder Qinglian said seriously.
Ning Chen was silent. After a moment, he nodded in agreement. The words of the old man in front of him probably represented the attitude of the Star Lords and Territory Lords behind him. It was just a grand event, and there was no need to confront these old monsters head-on.
Seeing the former agreeing, Elder Qinglian breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, this person is not a ignorant person, but it is not necessarily the case for those who are the proud ones from various Great Life Stars.
When the time comes, he will accompany this boy as a law enforcer, hoping that this will make some of the arrogant disciples of the great religion more wary and not provoke this terrifying young man.
I have to say that the task assigned to him by the poster was really troublesome.
After finishing talking about the business, the two talked about some less important things. Half an hour later, a woman dressed as a maid arrived and took Ning Chen and the three of them to the side room to rest temporarily.
After listening to the two talking nonsense for a long time, Yin'er's patience had long been exhausted, so he hurriedly followed.
In the west wing, in the small courtyard with mottled bamboo shadows, the maid arranged for the three of them and then left.
As soon as the maid left, Yin'er lay down on the bed, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm exhausted."
A'man stepped forward, pulled the little girl up, and said softly, "It's time to practice sword practice."
"I'm so tired today, can you practice again tomorrow?" Yin'er said with a bitter look on his face when he heard this.
"It won't work"
A'man ruffled the little girl's hair and responded softly.
Ning Chen didn't say anything, just smiled softly. He couldn't control this girl anymore, so it was up to A'man.
After a while, Yin'er, who failed to fight, was dragged out to practice sword practice by A'man. Before going out, the little girl pitifully asked someone for advice, but unfortunately, she was ignored.
At the same time, in Qinglian City, the news that the three people visited the law enforcers quickly spread to several young and powerful people, attracting a lot of attention.
In a temporarily purchased mansion, Qin Bai quietly drank a glass of wine, waiting for the news he wanted.
"Sir, I found it."
A young man who looked like a bookboy walked over quickly and said respectfully, "A few days ago, that person seemed to have saved a All Heavens Starfield's Killing Star in the hands of Elder Qinglian. Many people saw this scene at that time."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Qin Bai put down the wine glass in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly. In this way, this person has a certain relationship with Elder Qinglian.
This is not surprising. The person who can take out so many Immortal Jade at once must have an extraordinary status. He is probably a disciple of some top sect.
Similar scenes appeared everywhere on Qinglian City, and on Ancient Starry Road, law enforcers rarely showed up, but now someone was actually interviewed by the law enforcers, which is really surprising.
However, no one knew that Elder Qinglian met Zhiming not because of his identity and background, but because of his own strength, which forced several Star Lords and Territory Lords to warn and restrict him.
In Qinglian Mansion, in front of the lotus pond, brilliance gathered, and an illusory figure appeared. Looking at the old man in front of him, he said, "How?"
"Report to the original poster, he agreed." Elder Qinglian bowed.
The illusory figure nodded and said, "When the time comes, you will go with us and take the opportunity to beat those people. I have done what I should do. If there are still some short-sighted people who want to provoke him, don't worry about it anymore. Living is luck, and dying is fate."
"Yes"
Elder Qinglian said respectfully.
"By the way, the girl named A'man next to him is attracted by an old guy and wants to be his disciple. Please remind Ning Chen to let him pay attention. Even if you don't agree, don't conflict with this old guy head-on. This poster will find a way to deal with it and strive to resolve the matter peacefully."
After saying that, the illusory figure dispersed into stars and disappeared.
Elder Qinglian bowed to see her off, a flash of concentration flashed in her old eyes. Sure enough, the girl caught the attention of these people.
