Murong Liuqing still wanted to say sothing, but Zhang Zhenlin and Sun Wei were busy urging Ling Zhenfei to drink, so Murong Liuqing didn't manage to say anything.
By the ti they arrived, it was already afternoon, and since it wasn't alti, there weren't many people in the restaurant. Even the busiest restaurants have their quiet tis.
The three of them thoroughly enjoyed their drinking, but Murong Liuqing, who wasn't drinking, found it rather dull, and after eating sothing, he wandered around upstairs.
Ling Zhenfei and Sun Wei were naturally like-minded; they used to hold back a bit on Wuliang Mountain, but now, being on Ling Zhenfei's own turf, there was nothing to hold them back.
This place being a restaurant, they could have whatever they wanted to eat or drink, which was extrely convenient.
At this ti, Murong Liuqing, who had been gazing at the scenery all this while, ca rushing back and sat back in his seat.
Ling Zhenfei and the others were having their al when they suddenly saw Murong Liuqing return, his face full of changing emotions.
Ling Zhenfei asked, "Why do you have that look, did sothing happen?"
Murong Liuqing glanced at the three of them and said, "So people have arrived here."
Ling Zhenfei asked, "What kind of people, what do you an by that expression?"
Murong Liuqing said, "Co with ."
Murong Liuqing stood up, and Ling Zhenfei and the other two followed him.
From the second floor, you could see the first floor; Murong Liuqing was in the corridor on the second floor pointing at so people at a table on the first floor, saying, "Look, it's those people."
Ling Zhenfei looked at the distant table and saw three people sitting there.
The three people wore the sa style of clothing, appearing to be in their thirties to forties.
One of them seed about twenty-odd, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, wearing black clothes that fit snugly, clearly not an ordinary person.
Ling Zhenfei instantly realized that these three were cultivators, and their skills were not weak.
Sun Wei chuckled and said, "I thought it was soone significant, just three cultivators."
The three of them chatted as they headed back to their seats.
Murong Liuqing also followed back, and the four sat down again, and Murong Liuqing said, "You guys don't get it, those three are from the Ji family of Mount Bu Zhou."
Ling Zhenfei was montarily stunned and said, "Let's not talk about this Ji family first. I want to know whether this Mount Bu Zhou is the legendary mountain that Gonggong knocked down with his head?"
Murong Liuqing replied, "Exactly that Mount Bu Zhou, but whether Gonggong exists or not is unknown; those people are from the Ji family."
Ling Zhenfei said, "This place is very close to Xianling Mountain, so it makes sense for cultivators to co here ahead of ti and hear about the delicious food at Xi Shan Restaurant, coming to eat is quite normal."
Murong Liuqing said, "You don't understand the Ji family. They hold themselves in high regard, especially that young person at the table, nad Ji Tianlang, a notable figure among the young generation of the Ji family.
You know there are Four Young Masters in the cultivation world, strong figures in the younger generation, and Ji Tianlang is one of them."
Zhang Zhenlin, beside them, added, "So he is Ji Tianlang. I've heard of him, one of the Four Young Masters, very powerful, said to know so Shadow Clone technique."
Sun Wei said, "Four Young Masters? How co I've never heard of them?"
Murong Liuqing explained, "Among cultivators, there are the Four Young Masters. The first one is Yun Bai of the Tianling Sect, and the second is Ji Tianlang."
Sun Wei asked, "What about the other two?"
Zhang Zhenlin said, "Why bother about the Four Young Masters? With Ji Tianlang showing up here, it ans the Ji family must be nearby, marking this area as a gathering place for cultivators."
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "What are you trying to say?"
Zhang Zhenlin said, "In places where cultivators gather, interesting things tend to happen. I assu this Provincial City will be buzzing with excitent."
Murong Liuqing said, "That's right, during the developnt over thousands of years, many sects have beco enemies due to certain matters, and the Ji family of Mount Bu Zhou is a deadly adversary of our Wuliang Mountain."
Ling Zhenfei was startled: "A deadly adversary, could it escalate to a fight to the death?"
Murong Liuqing said, "Every ti we participate in the Foreign Land Space gathering, Wuliang Mountain inevitably clashes with the Ji family from Mount Bu Zhou. My master had instructed everyone before we ca here.
This ti, we should avoid any clashes with the Ji family if possible. Now that they're here, if our senior brothers arrive in this vicinity later, there might be conflicts. I need to notify them."
Sun Wei asked, "Then don't you have a phone? Just make a call."
Murong Liuqing froze for a mont and said, "No, I don't."
Sun Wei said, "There you have it. Without a phone, how are you going to inform them?"
It was evident Murong Liuqing was very anxious, but Ling Zhenfei said, "No need to be so tense. Your original path for Wuliang Mountain doesn't pass through here.
Xianling Mountain is vast, with several cities around. While the Provincial City is the largest, as long as you don't settle here, there shouldn't be any issues."
Although Ling Zhenfei's words made sense, there were so things he didn't ntion. Whether they stayed in the Provincial City or Binyang, they would still have to pass through the Provincial City.
Hopefully, the people of Wuliang Mountain won't stay in the Provincial City but go straight to Binyang to avoid unnecessary complications.
Sun Wei asked, "Wuliang Mountain and Mount Bu Zhou aren't even next to each other. How did your two sects beco enemies?"
Murong Liuqing said, "It's an old grudge from many years ago. No one knows the exact details, but it's true that the two sects oppose each other, and it's been going on for many years."
Ling Zhenfei looked at Murong Liuqing and said, "Although the sects are opposed, just mind your business and don't go looking for trouble with them."
Murong Liuqing said, "Of course, I won't go seeking trouble, but when I et Ji Tianlang, I have to test how powerful he really is."
Ling Zhenfei knew Murong Liuqing was competitive and ambitious, a personality trait that was hard to change. Reason here only served to temper it a little.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Whenever our people go to the Foreign Land, we always lose to their cultivators. Besides the differences in cultivation environnts, another key reason is our lack of unity.
I used to have my doubts about this, but recently, after arriving at Wuliang Mountain, I've realized that within ourselves, we're really not united. In the Foreign Land, instead of fighting others, we end up fighting each other."
Sun Wei reflected and said, "Where there are people, there is Jianghu. Though the Three Great Immortal Palaces have repeatedly brought up the need for unity in the Foreign Land Space, they each have their enemy factions.
Unable to clean up their own backyard, how can they restrain others? So internal conflicts in the Foreign Land Space persist, getting increasingly intense."
Ling Zhenfei understood that while their techniques were lacking, their skills in intrigue and scheming were unmatched, a true testant to the complexities of human nature.
