Haunted

Li Hongfang's car was in the hotel parking lot. Liu Chang'an told her not to drive and to walk there instead, because this stretch of road was usually so congested that traffic could barely move.

Even nimble, convenient vehicles like electric scooters and bicycles sometimes struggled to weave through. Besides local residents going about their daily lives, there were also huge numbers of tourists visiting the attractions, as well as university and middle school students, making this stretch utterly jammed.

Like many areas developed and planned in the eighties and nineties, Hexi's urban design capacity lagged far behind its current level of development.

Li Hongfang walked ahead to lead the way. Liu Chang'an noticed that a heart-shaped pendant hung from the end of the belt on her shorts, swaying back and forth.

"Brother Liu, when the Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Sword Sect was at its peak, was it really rich enough to rival a nation?" Li Hongfang asked expectantly.

Although she had not officially joined the Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Sword Sect yet, since Liu Chang'an had brought it up, he presumably would not refuse her application once she transformed back into Meimei.

Unless she got uglier and uglier with every transformation. Then she might be rejected.

Thus, Li Hongfang naturally developed a sense of belonging toward the Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Sword Sect. Though the organization had now declined, looking back on its past could still inspire pride.

"At the time, the world's largest economy was the Song Dynasty. The second-largest economy was the Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Sword Sect." Liu Chang'an thought about it. Back then, the Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Sword Sect supported many women, and supporting women required a great deal of money, so they had gone and earned a little.
