When Shen Yingying heard her name called, she instinctively turned around.
When she saw who had called her, she was immediately stunned.
Lin Fang stared blankly at the woman not far away. When she turned around and saw that familiar face, he was speechless for a moment.
" Yingying, is this someone you know?"
The man next to Shen Yingying glanced at Lin Fang and asked with little interest.
She snapped out of her reverie, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded gently.
Lin Fang then noticed the young men beside her.
He saw indifference and a hint of disdain in their eyes.
This expression made Lin Fang lower his head and look at himself unconsciously.
His clothes were tattered and torn; he didn't look like a cultivator at all, but rather like a refugee in distress, even more disheveled than an ordinary martial artist.
This was because their flying boat collided head-on with the Demon Gate, and they held it back for a full quarter of an hour.
The young men around Shen Yingying, though their breathing was somewhat disordered and they appeared slightly less composed, were not injured, unlike Lin Fang, whose arms were wrapped in bandages.
However, it was clear that they, like Lin Fang and the others, had also been affected by the Demonic Sect and had been rescued by the powerful figures of the Supreme City and brought aboard the ship.
Looking at the disheveled Lin Fang, Shen Yingying sighed softly, ultimately suppressing her urge to avoid him.
She truly never expected that she would encounter Lin Fang here again after so many years.
"How have you been all these years...?"
Okay?
Hearing this, Lin Fang chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Not bad, how about you?"
Shen Yingying did not answer.
It wasn't that she didn't want to answer, but that she didn't know how to answer without hurting Lin Fang.
After all, since she awakened her Spirit Physique and joined the sect, her strength has increased dramatically under her master's tutelage. She is now at the King Realm Sixth Layer and is no longer as weak as she once was.
In contrast, Lin Fang's aura was weak and insignificant.
His cultivation level was only at the Tribulation Realm, not even touching the threshold of the King Realm. He was far inferior to her and the other geniuses she had seen.
There was a time when she felt that this was all there was to her life, and no matter how much she cultivated, she would never catch up with Lin Fang.
But as time passed and years went by, she transformed into someone Lin Fang could never catch up to.
It really is... a cruel twist of fate.
Now, she and Lin Fang are no longer from the same world.
As she thought about it, the glimmer in Shen Yingying's eyes slowly turned into a firm resolve.
She has no regrets.
If she had chosen to Lin Fang back then, she would probably still be trapped in the Great Wilderness City, only at the Tribulation Realm, unable to reach the threshold of the King Realm, struggling to survive, and living a miserable life with Lin Fang as a pair of "poor and lowly couples."
Where else could you find such splendor?
Therefore, Shen Yingying remained silent for a moment, not answering Lin Fang, but instead asking, "Where are you planning to go?"
She knew these members of the Lin Household.
The Lin Lineage is small, and they have been struggling to survive in the Great Wilderness City for many years, refusing to move away.
Now, it seems almost all the clansmen are here, weary from their journey. It looks like they can no longer stay in Great Wilderness City and are preparing to relocate...
Lin Fang pondered for a moment, but did not reveal his master's name or anything about him. Instead, he said evasively, " Great Wilderness City is dangerous and remote. My clansmen and I plan to move to Supreme City."
" Supreme City? Pshaw—"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a sneer rang out behind Shen Yingying, accompanied by a chorus of doubt.
It was the same man who had been by Shen Yingying's side from the very beginning.
Other young people were also caught up in the chaos.
They took two steps forward together, their disdainful gazes falling on Lin Fang. After noticing the weak strength of him and his Lineage members behind him, their disdain intensified.
"Ridiculous, it's as if you have residency permits for the Supreme City."
They knew Lin Fang.
We weren't exactly familiar with each other; we'd barely met once.
After all, Shen Yingying was their junior sister, and they were the ones who personally went to pick her up when their master accepted disciples.
She naturally knew that the young man in front of her was her junior sister's fiancé.
No.
He was her former fiancé.
An ordinary cultivator who could only live with an incompetent Lineage in a desolate and remote city—even the word "ordinary" was a compliment.
In such a short time, they're saying they want to move to Supreme City...
How ridiculous!
Even when bragging, at least choose something that won't be easily exposed, right?
How could Yingying's genius-level talent have ended up associating with people like that before?
Hearing them mention a residence permit, Lin Fang was taken aback and subconsciously murmured, "We need a residence permit...?"
Lin Xuan simply told them to stay in Supreme City, without mentioning any residency permits.
The young man immediately laughed, a laugh tinged with even deeper contempt, as if offering a "merciful" explanation.
What do you think?
"Without a residence permit, you probably won't even be able to get through the gates of Supreme City, let alone live there?"
"Even residence permits have different levels. Supreme City has three main areas: the main city, the outer city, and the secondary city. Kid, you've never even seen a residence permit before, have you?"
As he spoke, a silver jade pendant, about half the size of his palm, appeared in his hand, shimmering with spiritual light and attracting the attention of many people.
"It's a residence permit for residents outside the city!" someone exclaimed softly, their voice filled with envy.
Lin Fang was slightly bewildered. "Outer city residence permits... are they very rare?"
He genuinely doesn't understand.
The young man was displeased by his tone, glared at him, and sneered, "You look down on the residence permits for the outer city? Let me tell you, it's very difficult to enter the main city. Unless you have relatives in the Supreme Institute, there's no way you can get in. And the outer city or the secondary city also require certain connections; it's not just about having money."
Many people around him, hearing his smug tone, not only didn't feel repulsed, but were even more envious.
Because he was telling the absolute truth, without embellishment whatsoever.
Looking at his out-of-town residence permit, the young man's eyes were filled with pride.
Their sect has now officially settled in the outer city of Supreme City, which means they can be considered a second-tier sect within the Supreme Institute.
Although it's only in the outer city area, it's already quite impressive.
After all, that was one of the three inner courtyards of the Primordial Holy Heaven, an affiliated city of the Supreme Institute.
Within the city, even on the outermost edge, there is no need to worry about safety, let alone the invasion of demonic forces.
Moreover, the various fortuitous opportunity and resources available within the market are things that outsiders could never find.
If one's talent is recognized, one might even be able to enter the Supreme Institute and become a student!
These are all the benefits that this small residence permit can bring!
Lin Fang listened to the young man's explanation of science in a daze.
turn out to be...
Is it that amazing?
