But Murong Liuqing insisted on walking to Xianling Mountain.
Ling Zhenfei didn't want to fall out with Murong Liuqing right away, so he said, "Actually, running to Xianling Mountain isn't bad either; from ancient tis, Wuliang Mountain people have always run to Xianling Mountain.
Though I don't know the purpose of this thod, whether it's to exercise or to let everyone enjoy the scenery, I don't know.
Perhaps the elders of Wuliang Mountain have their own plans, but of course, we small figures can't know the thoughts of the elders, and personally, I very much agree with this walking thod."
As Ling Zhenfei spoke, everyone listened intently. Hearing Ling Zhenfei supporting walking, Murong Liuqing was very happy.
Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin knew Ling Zhenfei too well; they knew Ling Zhenfei definitely had a "but" coming.
At this point, Ling Zhenfei said, "But!"
Upon hearing "but," Zhang Zhenlin and Sun Wei exchanged a glance.
Ling Zhenfei said, "But this ti is different because we set off several days late, and besides, we're not very familiar with the road conditions. If we insist on walking, we might delay the opening of the Foreign Land Space."
Ling Zhenfei looked at the expressions on the three people's faces; Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin had an "I knew it" look.
But Murong Liuqing's face didn't look good, even a bit troubled, obviously conflicted over sothing.
Ling Zhenfei continued, "Although walking to Xianling Mountain allows you to see very beautiful scenery and gain so unknown benefits, because of ti restrictions now, we can't walk there.
I think we should step back and adopt an alternative choice. Since we can't walk there, we'll take a car or a plane; both are fast.
Also, Xianling Mountain is not far from my ho, so I can extend so local hospitality to everyone."
Ling Zhenfei spoke in a both soft and firm manner, appealing emotionally and logically. On the surface, he seed very eager to walk, but since it's not possible, they have to find another way.
This gave the greatest face and respect to Murong Liuqing and Wuliang Mountain, making others not feel resentful and clearly explaining the matter.
At this point, Murong Liuqing looked at Ling Zhenfei and asked, "I think I understand a bit now, Ling Zhenfei, you must be with them, right? Do you think the sa as them?"
Ling Zhenfei pretended to be shocked and said, "It's truly an injustice. I've made it very clear, I am genuinely a good person; I really wanted to walk with you, but the current circumstances just don't permit it."
Murong Liuqing said, "If my senior brother knew about this, he would definitely be unhappy. If you're willing to walk with , then let's walk to Xianling Mountain together."
Zhang Zhenlin and Sun Wei looked at Ling Zhenfei, curious to see how he would talk his way out, but Sun Wei almost laughed out loud; Ling Zhenfei was in quite a pickle.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course, we can do that. Just the two of us chatting along the way, before we know it, we'll be at Xianling Mountain. But do you really want to ignore these two people?"
Murong Liuqing looked at the two and said, "If they want to walk, let them go. It's none of my business."
Ling Zhenfei said, "That won't do; these two rascals are not trustworthy. If you don't keep an eye on them, they might sneak off halfway, which would be a significant loss to us at Wuliang Mountain."
Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin both pursed their lips; Ling Zhenfei was really good at talking his way around things.
Murong Liuqing asked, "Then what should I do?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Since these two rascals want to ride to Xianling Mountain, let's just go with them and keep an eye on them until we reach Xianling Mountain."
Murong Liuqing said, "But."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I know you're worried your senior brother won't be happy, but we have our reasons. On an occasion like taking people to Xianling Mountain, whether we walk or not doesn't seem to matter, right?"
Murong Liuqing finally was persuaded by Ling Zhenfei and said, "Alright, then let's go with them."
As soon as Murong Liuqing said it, Ling Zhenfei felt so happy; it seed persuading people really wasn't easy, it was quite tireso.
Ling Zhenfei said to Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin, "You two rascals, we'll follow you to see what tricks you pull."
Sun Wei snorted, "Who knows who'll be pulling tricks; how can our little sches escape your sharp eyes?"
Zhang Zhenlin said, "Since we've agreed to fly, we don't have to rush; we can have so fun along the way. Here, it's very close to Rainbow City, why don't we go there and have so fun?"
Sun Wei laughed and said, "Sure, sure."
But Murong Liuqing unhappily said, "No. Even if we fly, we can't waste ti. If you want to have fun, wait until we get to Xianling Mountain."
Sun Wei's face darkened, seemingly ready to say sothing else. Ling Zhenfei was alard; if they quarreled again, it wouldn't be good.
Ling Zhenfei hurriedly stopped Sun Wei and said, "Seriously, what's there to see or do here? If you want to have fun, co to my place.
I have everything you need there; you can have a great ti. I've been to Rainbow City, and to be honest, it's nothing special, so we won't go there. Let's rest in this small town today and take the early flight tomorrow morning."
Sun Wei, rembering Ling Zhenfei's ntion of his villa, felt intrigued and said to Zhang Zhenlin, "Then let's not go to Rainbow City. If we're quick, we'll reach Brother Ling's place tomorrow, and then we can have so fun."
Zhang Zhenlin said, "Alright, let's do that then."
The four of them found a small hotel in the town to stay in. It was just getting dark, and in the evening they casually ate sothing.
Zhang Zhenlin and Sun Wei were the kind of people who liked to play and hadn't been to such a bustling place in a long ti. Naturally, they wanted to go out and stroll.
But Ling Zhenfei had to book their tickets, so he didn't go with them.
Soon, Ling Zhenfei booked four plane tickets.
At this mont, it was just getting dark, and it was a beautiful ti. Ling Zhenfei walked to the entrance and leaned on the railing to look below.
Below was a busy street. Although it seed shabby compared to big cities, it was already quite nice for these places.
As Ling Zhenfei was looking around, the door next to him opened, and Murong Liuqing ca out from the adjacent room and stood beside Ling Zhenfei.
Murong Liuqing looked at the scenery below and said, "I didn't expect it to be this bustling, with so many people."
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's okay."
Murong Liuqing said, "You know, since I went up the mountain at four, I seldom go down. In the past twenty years, I've only gone down a few tis."
Ling Zhenfei was shocked after hearing that and said, "Isn't life on the mountain dull?"
Murong Liuqing shook his head and said, "I guess I've just gotten used to it."
