A golden light suddenly flashed in Miao Youfang's eyes, as if a dragon shadow had flashed by. A thick golden dragon phantom shot out from above his head and reluctantly entered the fragment of the Earth Book.
Miao Youfang looked disappointed.
He didn't see any dragon energy, but for a moment just now, he felt that something important had left.
In this way, Li Chang'an will have three crucial dragon energies. Once he collects the last six, he will complete the mission.
Seeing Miao Youfang's dejected and listless expression out of the corner of his eye, Li Chang'an patiently said, "A true strong person has an unbreakable heart. Without a brave heart, no matter how strong you are, you can only bully the weak, and you will only face death when facing someone of the same level."
Miao Youfang scratched his head. "I should be content. Without the dragon's energy, I might never have achieved what I have today."
Actually, I'm not very talented; even the old master who taught me martial arts in town said so. My fellow students all laughed at me for overestimating myself, thinking I was a great martial arts master despite my mediocre talent.
At sixteen, I left town to travel, and it wasn't until I was twenty-three that I saved enough money to hire a master of the Refining Spirit Realm to help me open my cultivation. To save this money, I didn't change my shoes for two years, and I wore the same robe, patched and mended, for three years.
"Not long ago, my luck suddenly turned around, and I was finally able to become a legendary hero admired by thousands. Hey, what did the book say again? Right, a mirage."
"But if it's not mine, then it's not mine." He lowered his head, disheartened, like an ugly duckling that had been reduced to its original form.
"I happen to be lacking a little follower," Li Chang'an said calmly.
Miao Youfang suddenly raised his head and stared at Li Chang'an, whose expression was indifferent.
"To be my follower is just like those three; you have to work hard without complaint. You'll be treated like an ox or a horse, without a monthly salary, and you might occasionally be taught a move or two."
The three of them were naturally the three people other than the woman in red.
Miao Youfang's expression was serious as he said, word by word, "Father."
Luo Yuheng looked at Li Chang'an with a gaze as if she were about to make a joke, but suddenly froze.
Because Miao Youfang called her name sincerely.
"mother!"
Luo Yuheng's smile froze on his face, and he reverted to his aloof expression that he hadn't shown in a long time.
"Li Lang, this man's character needs further examination."
Li Miaozhen also said seriously, "Husband, we may have misjudged him just now. This guy may not be reliable."
Miao Youfang's face darkened even more. He didn't know why he had offended the two wives of the lord with just one sentence!
Li Chang'an pondered for a moment and said, "Ning Yan, then take her away first and examine her further."
A moment later, Xu Qi'an took Miao Youfang down and brought back a beautiful young woman.
Xu Qi'an said, "This girl is a female sorcerer, a wild sorcerer outside the Imperial Observatory. She's quite interesting."
A flicker of fear and panic crossed Xu Yuanshuang's eyes. Her intuition told her that the two people opposite her must be important figures in the imperial court.
Li Miaozhen glanced at Xu Yuanshuang and said, "This girl looks somewhat familiar."
Li Chang'an looked down at the beautiful girl with a cold gaze.
"who are you?"
Xu Qi'an glanced at the girl and said, "If you don't want to die, answer the questions honestly."
The girl raised her watery eyes and glanced at the group.
She spoke slowly, "We are disciples of the Qiucao Hall in Qingzhou."
This time, I came to Yongzhou with my senior brother to gain experience and broaden my horizons.
My name is Chen Yuanshuang.
Chapter 412 Interrogation of Xu Yuanshuang! Is Xu Qi'an not a proper brother?
Xu Qi'an, with a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, leered at Xu Yuanshuang.
"You little vixen, you'd better tell the truth."
"I have many ways to deal with young girls."
Xu Yuanshuang was terrified when she saw Xu Qi'an's shifty gaze.
This frivolous man's gaze lingered on his chest and waist, clearly harboring ill intentions.
Xu Qi'an shook his head, then looked at Li Chang'an.
“Master, this girl’s experience in the martial arts world is indeed at a beginner level.”
"That bastard Xu Pingfeng, how could he send out someone like that?"
Li Chang'an said with a smile, "If you catch Liu Hongmian from Wanhualou, she'd be more than happy if you took liberties with her."
"Old man, you're eating chickens, aren't you?" Xu Qi'an chuckled.
The two men made jokes about Xu Yuanshuang without any restraint, which made Xu Yuanshuang even more frightened.
Xu Qi'an's hand reached straight for Xu Yuanshuang's slender waist.
"No!" Xu Yuanshuang screamed.
Xu Qi'an did not touch her, but instead took off the brocade pouch hanging from her waist.
She instinctively tried to take it back, but Li Chang'an's words rendered her completely immobile.
"Little girl, don't move." His words became law!
Xu Yuanshuang was terrified, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears.
Xu Qi'an opened the brocade pouch and peeked inside...
The magical artifacts inside were dazzling, including offensive, teleportation, and defensive ones... a wide variety of types.
Get rich!
These things are no less than Qiu Qian's.
"Ning Yan, you can keep those things yourself."
Li Chang'an spoke up, and Xu Qi'an happily put the brocade pouch into his pocket.
Xu Yuanshuang opened her mouth, her eyes flashing with grievance and heartache, but she didn't dare to speak.
"As far as I know, only the sorcerers of the Imperial Observatory can mass-produce magical artifacts. What kind of place is Qiucao Hall?"
Xu Qi'an squinted, "If you refuse to tell the truth, don't blame me for being inhuman."
Xu Yuanshuang stubbornly pursed her lips, her pretty face filled with resentment.
Li Chang'an stopped Xu Qi'an, after all, Xu Yuanshuang was not a bad person.
Besides, she's your sister.
"Little girl, don't lie."
Although Li Chang'an spoke these words lightly, Xu Yuanshuang felt that her mind was filled with two words: honesty!
Xu Qi'an chuckled, "Little sister, am I handsome?"
Li Miaozhen sneered, "Xu Qi'an, you really can't change your ways."
Xu Yuanshuang's small mouth seemed to have a motor inside it, and the truth came out involuntarily.
"You're not bad looking, but compared to the gentleman at the head of the table, your appearance and demeanor are far inferior."
"I have never seen such a handsome man in my life. He is more handsome than my brothers."
"Moreover, he is more imposing than the imperial advisor and the wise ruler; once you see him, you can't forget him..."
Xu Yuanshuang's face fell, and tears were about to overflow from her eyes.
Her face turned bright red, and she was still babbling away, seemingly having a good impression of Li Chang'an.
"...Perhaps it's one of the princes or nobles in the court..."
"Stop." Li Chang'an coughed twice.
Luo Yuheng couldn't help but giggle, "Li Lang, you really are popular with young girls."
Li Chang'an sighed, "Back then, when you first saw me, didn't you also fall for me?"
Luo Yuheng, who had just confessed his feelings, did not deny it, saying, "I'm not as brave as this girl."
Xu Yuanshuang was on the verge of tears, "My lord, please spare me..."
Her pretty face was slightly contorted, her eyes filled with shyness and embarrassment.
Li Chang'an stared into the little girl's clear, innocent eyes. "Little girl, I'm not a bad person."
"If you do this, I won't ask you anymore. Just explain your background in detail."
"If I were to ask myself and I uncover any secrets, it would be awkward for everyone, wouldn't it?"
Xu Yuanshuang's beautiful eyes blinked; she was clearly terrified.
The feeling of having every question answered and having my deepest thoughts exposed was terrifying.
"We come from Qianlong City in Yunzhou. Qianlong City is the lineage of the Great Feng royal family from five hundred years ago."
We are here in search of dragon energy. Our leader is Ji Xuan, the seventh son of the Lord of Qianlong City.
We have found several hosts for the dragon energy, but they are all scattered fragments of dragon energy and are not of much value.
