Chapter 668

Li Li Banfeng asked: "Who exactly is inviting you to Chaoge?"

Luo Su Lijun replied: "Three members of the royal family, one of the powerful ministers in the cabinet: Zhu Jin, Lan Qiao Yi, and Xie Gong."

Li Li Banfeng was very helpless: "There are clearly three people, yet you insist on saying 'one of'."

Luo Su Lijun said: "As I just said, they are Great Shang royalty; three people grow on one body."

Li Li Banfeng said: "What is the reason they are inviting you back to the Inner Continent?"

Luo Su Lijun took out a letter and handed it to Li Li Banfeng: "Among these three people, Lan Qiao Yi is in charge. This is a letter he wrote to me personally."

Li Li Banfeng read the letter. It was written in pure classical Chinese, and the content was very obscure. With the help of Xiao Yeci, Li Li Banfeng understood the general meaning.

Lan Qiao Yi's meaning was that he believed Juanzi was the Saint's orphan and referred to Juanzi as the Crown Prince. He hoped to invite Luo Su Lijun to Chaoge to discuss the matter of supporting the Crown Prince in ascending the throne.

After reading the letter, Luo Su Lijun sent another invitation. On the invitation, it was written: "To His Highness, Crown Prince Li Qi of Puluo."

Li Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time and asked Luo Su Lijun: "What does 'Crown Prince of Puluo' mean?"

Luo Su Lijun explained: "In Great Shang, there are the pro-war and pro-peace factions. Under these two factions, there are various branches. Both Lan Qiao Yi and I belong to two similar branches under the pro-peace faction. We both believe that you have already become the Crown Prince of Puluo Continent."

Li Li Banfeng asked: "Why do you think so? Is there any basis for it?"

"Your actions in Puluo Continent often exceed the scope of your own interests, so we suspect that you have a special relationship with the Grocer, and you are very likely to become the next controller of Puluo Continent."

Li Li Banfeng shook his head repeatedly: "It is wrong for you to do this."

Luo Su Lijun nodded: "From the perspective of etiquette, Lan Qiao Yi directly addressing you as Crown Prince in the invitation might cause a misunderstanding between you and the Grocer."

"The misunderstanding here is huge!" Li Li Banfeng was very angry, "I am the Grocer's senior fellow apprentice, not his son. What is the meaning of calling me Crown Prince?"

"Senior fellow apprentice?" Luo Su Lijun couldn't keep up with Li Li Banfeng's train of thought.

Li Li Banfeng added: "This invitation was clearly issued to me; why is the letter asking you to go?"

Luo Su Lijun explained: "Because this is a public banquet. Lan Qiao Yi wants to invite you to Chaoge for the banquet in the capacity of a cabinet minister,

not a private secret meeting."

Li Li Banfeng understood Luo Su Lijun's meaning: "This is finding a legitimate cover for a private secret meeting."

Luo Su Lijun nodded: "And I am a convicted prisoner in Chaoge. Logically, I shouldn't appear at this legitimate banquet, so my name cannot be on the invitation. Matters concerning the Saint's orphan can only be mentioned in the secret letter."

Li Li Banfeng put the invitation aside: "In other words, Lan Qiao Yi not only has the idea of supporting a new monarch to ascend the throne, but he also wants to obtain the support of Puluo Continent."

Luo Su Lijun nodded again: "This is the consistent strategy of our pro-peace faction. Taking this event as an example, if he wants to support the Crown Prince, Lan Qiao Yi inevitably needs the help of Puluo Continent. After the Crown Prince takes office, it will be beneficial to Lan Qiao Yi, to me, to you, and to the entire Puluo Continent. This is a win-win situation that the pro-peace faction has always wanted to achieve."

Li Li Banfeng read Lan Qiao Yi's letter repeatedly. The other party's wording was watertight, and no more information could be obtained from it.

He asked Luo Su Lijun directly: "Is this person reliable?"

"He should be reliable—." Luo Su Lijun's answer was a bit vague.

Luo Luo Yanjun shook her head: "We dare not easily draw a conclusion. In Chaoge, the thoughts of those in high positions are hard to fathom. Three years ago,

Lan Qiao Yi was a member of the pro-war faction. Later, for some reason, he turned into a member of the pro-peace faction.

There are many things here that I cannot understand the reason for, nor can I explain the logic. This banquet might be Lan Qiao Yi's sincere invitation, or it might have other schemes."

It was rare for Luo Luo Yanjun to speak so directly. Luo Luo Shaojun nodded from the side: "I'm worried this is a trap. They are inviting us into the urn, and then catching the turtle in the urn!"

Slap!

Luo Su Lijun slapped Luo Luo Shaojun: "Who are you calling a turtle?"

Li Li Banfeng pondered for a moment and asked: "Are there any such precedents?"

Luo Luo Shaojun immediately shook her head: "The Great Shang royal family has never had a precedent of hosting Puluo Continent people. Previously, ministers had hosted foreigners, but they weren't Puluo Continent people."

Li Li Banfeng didn't quite understand: "Why host foreigners?"

Luo Su Lijun didn't want to answer; she was afraid of angering Li Li Banfeng.

Luo Luo Shaojun didn't think too much and said directly: "Because some people want to open up other channels to the Outer Continent, but these channels are controlled by foreigners, so they all want to ease relations with the foreigners. But this doesn't work in Puluo Continent; the Grocer doesn't allow Inner Continent people to come to Puluo Continent."

Li Li Banfeng remembered Cui Cui Tike's words; he had received good treatment when he first went to the Inner Continent.

The foreigners Luo Su Lijun spoke of should include the Inner Outer Amikan people, as well as other figures with a certain amount of strength in similar regions.

Li Li Banfeng asked again: "And then what after easing relations?"

Luo Luo Shaojun said: "After easing relations, there will be a road to walk. The foreigners will find them a road that can let them leave Great Shang, and can even let them go to the Outer Continent. But this doesn't work in Puluo Continent; the Grocer doesn't allow Inner Continent people to come to Puluo Continent."

Li Li Banfeng organized his train of thought; the current situation was a bit clearer.

Great Shang and Puluo Continent were like fire and water. Lan Qiao Yi, a member of the royal family, invited Li Li Banfeng to Great Shang for a banquet.

Lan Qiao Yi's purpose and approach could be explained, but given this situation, should Li Li Banfeng go?

Luo Su Lijun said: "If I don't go, Lan Qiao Yi's line will be broken, and there won't be any other supporters for the new monarch among the royal family. I'm afraid our path in the future won't be walkable either."

She stated the importance of this banquet and also explained a problem: Luo Su Lijun really wanted to attend the banquet.

Luo Luo Yujun nodded and said: "Yes, if we don't give Minister Lan Qiao face, how can the royal family recognize the Crown Prince we found?"

Luo Luo Xiujun also felt they should go. These two sisters were speaking for Luo Su Lijun.

Luo Luo Yanjun remained silent. There were some things she understood in her heart, but she couldn't say them out loud.

Luo Luo Shaojun hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "If we really go and Lan Qiao Yi turns against us, what then? He is in a high position; if he wants to strike from the shadows, we might not be able to return at all."

Li Li Banfeng pondered repeatedly and decided to take a trip.

Luo Su Lijun was overjoyed, but also a bit worried: "Young Master Li, when you go to the Inner Continent this time, you must not inquire about the whereabouts of Eunuch Train."

Li Li Banfeng darkened his face: "Why can't I inquire?"

Luo Su Lijun said: "Because you are not yet familiar with the Inner Continent. Inquiring about Eunuch Train's whereabouts on your first trip to the Inner Continent will put us in a dangerous situation."

Li Li Banfeng compared the two matters: "Going with you to Chaoge to discuss supporting a new monarch—isn't this matter dangerous?"

Luo Su Lijun pursed her lips and said: "This is also dangerous—"

"Is inquiring about Eunuch Train's whereabouts more dangerous than supporting a new monarch?"

Luo Su Lijun was thinking about how to explain, when Luo Luo Shaojun said the truth directly:

"Seventh Brother, Great Shang has invested heavily in Eunuch Train. If you inquire about his whereabouts, Chaoge definitely won't let you return."

"Heavy investment?" Li Li Banfeng asked Luo Luo Shaojun, "Exactly how heavy is this investment?"

Luo Luo Shaojun said: "Let me put it this way: if Eunuch Train were replaced by the Grocer, there might not necessarily be such a grand formation."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Luo Su Lijun raised her hand to hit Luo Shaojun. Li Li Banfeng glanced at Luo Su Lijun, and Luo Su Lijun didn't dare to make a move.

Li Li Banfeng asked again: "Is it because Eunuch Train is better at fighting than the Grocer?"

Luo Luo Shaojun shook her head and said: "That's not it, it's because—"

She looked at Luo Su Lijun. Luo Su Lijun's expression was ferocious, scaring Luo Shaojun so much she didn't dare to continue.

Li Li Banfeng looked at Luo Su Lijun: "You go squat by the wall."

Luo Su Lijun lowered her head and squatted by the wall.

Luo Luo Shaojun whispered: "Because Eunuch Train's train can bring all of Great Shang's good blades over."

A layer of frost and snow seemed to cover Li Li Banfeng's face.

Because Eunuch Train's train was right by his side.

Going to Chaoge was already a very risky matter. If the train were lost, it could bring a devastating disaster to Puluo Continent and the Outer Continent.

"I must consider this matter carefully." Li Li Banfeng stood up and left.

Luo Su Lijun squatted in the corner, holding her forehead: "What should we do now? We clearly agreed on the matter, but he won't go anymore. It's all your fault for having a loose tongue, girl!"

Luo Luo Shaojun pouted: "We should have made the situation clear to Seventh Brother; we couldn't deceive Seventh Brother. Otherwise, when we reached Chaoge and Seventh Brother insisted on inquiring about Eunuch Train's whereabouts, do you think we would still be able to persuade him?"

Luo Luo Yanjun nodded: "Sister, Luo Shaojun is right. If we wait until we reach Chaoge and something goes wrong, we really won't be able to return."

Luo Su Lijun sighed: "Yes, that's right. Without Young Master Li, none of us would be alive today. I want our Luo family to turn things around, but if we can't, we can't blame anyone else; it's just fate."

Luo Luo Yujun crawled into the conch shell: "Since we aren't going, I'll go tell the messenger."

"Tell him what? Is the messenger your lover? What's the rush?" Luo Su Lijun hit Luo Luo Yujun with a stick, "Let him wait for now!

Wait until Li Qi gives an answer!"

"Friend, excuse me."

He He Haiqin lightly touched the man in front of him, bypassed him, and walked in front of that man.

The man was a bit angry and thought to himself: Since you could bypass me, why did you have to touch me?

The reason He He Haiqin touched him was because he saw that the man's footsteps were special.

This man was a traveling cultivator. Although his level wasn't high, his "Walking on Flat Ground with Wind" footsteps were very solid. Stealing his technique and cooperating with the thief cultivator's talent would be of great use.

This is Three-Fork, and ahead is Intermittent Mountain. Finish the business and leave quickly. In this place, the faster the footsteps, the better.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, He He Haiqin's body felt a chill. Besides "Walking on Flat Ground with Wind," he seemed to have stolen some other methods.

He He Haiqin looked up at the mountain peak and muttered to himself: "Intermittent Mountain, a dangerous place. If it weren't for being forced by circumstances, I wouldn't want to come here."

Reaching the summit and staying for three hours, He He Haiqin moved his right hand.

His right hand swung back and forth, very excited.

It could move, proving that the hand tendons had grown out.

It moved non-stop, proving that too many hand tendons had grown.

Intermittent Mountain could not be stayed in for long. Staying a moment longer, it was hard to say what else would grow. On the way down the mountain, He He Haiqin saw a group of three-headed people walking up the mountain and couldn't help but sigh for them.

These people came to Three-Fork originally wanting to be martial cultivators, but because of their bodies, they became three-headed people.

Now they were going up Intermittent Mountain to satisfy their last little fantasy: they wanted to grow three bodies.

A three-headed person shouted happily: "It's done, it's done! I've grown an arm!"

He He Haiqin gave a bitter laugh.

What's called "done"? What's there to be happy about?

What grew out now is an arm; what grows out next is uncertain.

Even if nothing else grows, if it keeps growing arms, you won't be able to stand it.

But if it were Laughing Xiao Qianshou, if he kept growing arms, it would be a good thing for him.

Thinking of Laughing Xiao Qianshou, He He Haiqin shuddered.

Is this "Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Disaster"?

Laughing Xiao Qianshou is already dead; why can he still perceive danger?

He He Haiqin ran all the way, left Intermittent Mountain, took a train from Sinner City, and went to Soda Kiln.

Relying on his memory, he followed the route Shi Shi Gongxing had taken him on to go to the factory. Before he could even enter the factory building, a long sword pointed at the back of He He Haiqin's head.

He He Haiqin dodged the long sword and smelled the scent of rouge in his nose.

"Young Master He, what business brings you to Soda Kiln?" Feng Daiku retracted the long sword and stood in front of He He Haiqin with a smile.

He He Haiqin lowered his eyes, trying his best to avoid Feng Daiku's eyes. Feng Daiku, who walked on the threads of love, was extremely difficult to deal with. If Feng Daiku planted a few more threads of love on him, He He Haiqin's situation would be extremely dangerous.

"Miss Feng, I came to Soda Kiln to see the entrance to the Inner Continent."

"Young Master He, what are you doing going to the entrance to the Inner Continent?" A cold wind blew, the threads of love trembled, and the long sword in Feng Daiku's hand, driven by the threads of love, slowly circled around He He Haiqin.

One's state of mind must be peaceful. As long as there is the slightest fluctuation, the spreading threads of love will completely lock He He Haiqin up.

"Miss Feng, I just wanted to come and see the entrance to the Inner Continent; I have no other intentions."

"Since Young Master He wants to see it, then go and see it." Feng Daiku made way, letting He He Haiqin enter the factory.

He He Haiqin glanced at the factory, and a chill kept surging up his spine.

"I've come, and I've seen. I won't go inside." He He Haiqin cupped his hands and bid farewell.

Feng Daiku curled her lips and smiled: "Walk slowly, Young Master. I won't see you off."

Running all the way to the station, He He Haiqin thought about a question: the route he took with Shi Shi Gongxing was the same, so why was it fine when he followed Shi Shi Gongxing, but when he walked it himself, he was discovered by Feng Daiku?

Could it be that the threads of love themselves have changed?

And what method did Shi Shi Gongxing use to deal with the changes?

Should he try to probe again tonight?

Thinking of this, He He Haiqin felt another chill.

"No, Soda Kiln cannot be visited again," He He Haiqin shook his head and muttered, "Last time I came here, I met Laughing Xiao Qianshou, and this time I was discovered by Feng Daiku. This place and my horoscope don't match."

The Inner Continent must be visited. If he doesn't take the Soda Kiln route, what other route can he take?

There is another route at Third Uncle's place; perhaps this route is easier to walk.

He He Haiqin contacted He He Haiqin. The two agreed on a time. He He Haiqin returned to Green Water City, changed his travel permit, bought a ticket, and went to Yuezhou.

Arriving in Yuezhou, it happened to be late at night. He He Haiqin picked him up at the station, drove He He Haiqin, and went to the Cultural Palace.

He He Haiqin frowned: "Third Uncle, is this going to the black market?"

He He Haiqin nodded: "You have to go personally."

He He Haiqin was not very satisfied: "What am I going to the black market for? Didn't you say everything was arranged and we were just waiting to get on the plane?"

He He Haiqin lit a cigarette: "The foreigners said it must be a face-to-face transaction; he has words to ask you."

He He Haiqin still loathed foreigners: "I pay, you do the work. Why ask so much? These foreign devils are just pretentious!"

He He Haiqin agreed very much: "I also think they are pretentious, but why didn't you take the Soda Kiln route? Why did you have to go through Inner Outer Amikan?"

17

He He Haiqin told the truth: "I feel Soda Kiln and I are at odds."

In the Cultural Palace cinema, a gunfight movie was playing. Today was the business of Flower Tongue (the middleman). He He Haiqin bought water from the snack seller and went to Room 209.

In the room stood a man, less than 1.5 meters tall, with a slicked-back hairstyle, wearing a suit and tie. He was short, but had quite an aura.

He was the Flower Tongue who worked for He He Haiqin, Lu Zuocong.

Lu Zuocong introduced He He Haiqin to a blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreigner: "This is Mr. Williams; he has words to ask you."

Williams held a fountain pen and a notebook, looked at He He Haiqin, and said: "Mr. He, I must first ask you about one thing: what is your true purpose for going to the Great Shang Empire?"

Williams' accent was very stiff, and He He Haiqin found it very awkward to listen to.

And the question he raised made He He Haiqin even more disgusted.

"I pay, you do the work. Why ask so much?"

Williams looked at the Flower Tongue, Lu Zuocong: "Mr. Lu, it seems there is some misunderstanding between me and this Mr. He. I did not charge him any fees."

Lu Zuocong was a bit embarrassed. He said to He He Haiqin: "Did you not make things clear before?"

He He Haiqin looked at Lu Zuocong: "The money has already been given to you; what else is there not to make clear?"

Lu Zuocong said: "Didn't we agree beforehand that everything would be arranged by Mr. Williams?"

He He Haiqin turned the cigarette in his hand, looked at Lu Zuocong, and said: "Listen to the arrangements, not listen to the orders. How to walk the road, we listen to you; what to do, this has nothing to do with you."

"That's not how it's said—" Lu Zuocong looked at Williams, then looked at He He Haiqin. This business seemed to have been ruined.

He He Haiqin said to Lu Zuocong: "Third Uncle, you go outside and have a good chat with this Flower Tongue; I will speak a few words with this foreigner alone."

He He Haiqin carried Lu Zuocong out of the box. Lu Zuocong wanted to shout, but was choked by a puff of smoke and coughed non-stop.

Tang Tang Changfa was chatting with Yin Yin Siniang in the room. Hearing movement outside, he pushed the door open and took a look. He only saw Lu Zuocong being carried downstairs. Returning to the room, Tang Tang Changfa asked: "Who did Lu Zuocong offend again? Isn't he a Flower Tongue?"

Yin Yin Siniang laughed: "Lu Zuocong has been in contact with foreigners recently, doing business that is 'no-cost, high-profit'. It is said he has made quite a bit of money and offended quite a few people."

Tang Tang Changfa was startled: "No-cost, high-profit? Where is there such a good thing?"

"There really is. These foreigners don't want money; they work for free. Whatever benefits you can get from the buyer, they all belong to you."

Tang Tang Changfa rubbed his hands: "Is this business easy to do?"

Yin Yin Siniang shook her head: "Not very easy. Foreigners don't understand our rules. There have been quite a few misunderstandings here. Lu Zuocong hasn't been beaten lightly for this. What's the matter? You want to try it too?"

"I want to," Tang Tang Changfa rubbed his hands, "Such good business, who wouldn't want to?"

Yin Yin Siniang laughed: "You don't need to flatter me. Tell me first, do you have a way in?"

Tang Tang Changfa sat beside Yin Yin Siniang: "Then you tell me, how should I thank you?"

Yin Yin Siniang pushed Tang Tang Changfa: "Why are you sitting so close? Do you think I care about you? Calculate the price first!"

Tang Tang Changfa laughed: "You don't need to praise me. Tell me first, do you have a way in?"

Yin Yin Siniang smoked a cigarette: "There is a way, but I won't do things for you for nothing!"

Tang Tang Changfa laughed: "Then you tell me, how should I thank you?"

Yin Yin Siniang pushed Tang Tang Changfa: "Why are you sitting so close? Do you think I care about you? Calculate the price first!"

He He Haiqin asked Williams: "Why do you want to ask so many questions?"

Williams said: "Because we have undertaken the expenses and risks of your going to the Great Shang Empire, we must know your true purpose.

If you are going to oppose the tyranny of the Great Shang royal family, I will give you all the help I can. If you are going to rely on the Great Shang royal family for your own interests, our cooperation must end here."

He He Haiqin asked Williams: "Why do you want to be enemies with the Great Shang Empire?"

Williams pondered for a moment and said: "Because there is a group of warriors who soar freely and have been fighting against them."

He He Haiqin guessed the other party's identity: "Is that a group of proud White Falcons?"

Williams nodded: "So I need to know if you are the person we should help."

He He Haiqin replied: "I am going to rescue a group of enslaved people, people who have left the Great Shang Empire but are still enslaved."

Williams pondered for a moment and said: "Are you talking about the Earthly Gods of the New Land?"

He He Haiqin said: "To be precise, it is the Earthly Gods of the New Land."

Williams made a serious record in his notebook. His fountain pen never left his hand: "We will provide you with help, but there are a few details that need to be further confirmed with you."

Li Li Banfeng was frolicking with Zhao Zhao Xiaowan on the bow of the ship. Zhao Zhao Xiaowan chased him one step closer, and Li Li Banfeng stayed ten steps away from her. She chased him another step, and Li Li Banfeng stood still, still ten steps away from her.

"Hundred-Step Vertical and Horizontal; Husband has learned it."

Li Li Banfeng took a step and came to Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's side: "Hong Ying taught well. She has worked hard these past few days. In a few days, you take her to the sea for a stroll."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was stunned: "Why should I take her for a stroll? Why isn't it you taking her?"

"I am going on a long journey and will be setting off soon."

"Where are you going? Are you going to the Inner Continent?" Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was startled, "No matter where you go, shouldn't we follow?"

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "This time you can't follow, because the house can't follow."

After speaking, Li Li Banfeng handed the key to Zhao Zhao Xiaowan.

"Crazy man, what are you doing?" Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was stunned, "Going to the Inner Continent is going into a dragon's den and a tiger's lair. If you don't bring the house,

where is your retreat?"

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "I'll think of a retreat myself; the house cannot be brought."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan shook her head: "If you don't bring the house, do you know how many techniques you won't be able to use? When you are really fighting for your life, you'll have lost half your capital!"

Li Li Banfeng said: "If the capital is a bit more or a bit less, there are still places to make up for it. If the house is taken by the Inner Continent people, then it will truly be an irredeemable disaster."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan shook her head: "If you are afraid, then don't go! Precious husband, this is not the time to be strong."

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "I must go. I must know what the Inner Continent looks like. I will definitely be afraid the first time I go, but I won't be afraid afterward.

Once I figure out the way, I will bring you all over together."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan shook her head desperately: "Then wait until later to go!"

"If I don't go this time, the next time will still be the first time. The first time I go to the Inner Continent, I will be a stranger in a strange land. I definitely won't dare to bring the house. If I can't pass this hurdle, I don't know how long it will take."

"Why must you go to the Inner Continent? Can't you not go?" Zhao Zhao Xiaowan grabbed Li Li Banfeng and wouldn't let go.

"I have made up my mind; I must go this time," Li Li Banfeng touched Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's cheek, "I must avenge you. If I can't avenge you this time, I must avenge you next time. I can't let the Saint live so comfortably in the Inner Continent.

I must rescue Eunuch Train. If I can't rescue him this time, I must rescue him next time. I can't let the benefactor suffer in their hands forever.

I must make the Inner Continent uncomfortable. If I don't make them uncomfortable this time, I must make them uncomfortable in the future. I can't let them keep attacking Puluo Continent; I must also attack their home. Only then can I make them hurt!"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan grabbed Li Qi's hand and whispered: "Precious wife will accompany you together. Up the mountain of blades and down the sea of fire, the two of us will be together."

While speaking, Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's body trembled.

She didn't remember anything, but she felt her consciousness blurring in waves.

Li Li Banfeng gently stroked his wife's hair: "Precious wife, even thinking about the Inner Continent makes you suffer. If you really go to the Inner Continent, there's no telling what you will become. Guard our home well and wait for me to return."

Li Li Banfeng brought the five Luo sisters to Soda Kiln and met Feng Daiku on the way.

Feng Daiku wanted to say a few words to Li Li Banfeng, but didn't know what to say in such an occasion. In the end, she only said one sentence: "Young Master Li, please take care."

Ma Wu brought a newspaper reporter and entered the factory building with Li Li Banfeng. He really couldn't set his mind at ease and exhorted him several times: "Old Seven, be careful."

Liao Liao Zihui had been waiting in the factory building for a long time and cupped his hands at Li Qi: "Director Li, you are truly a brave warrior!"

Luo Su Lijun carried the conch shell on her back, lowered her head, and said: "Young Master Li, why did you bring so many people?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "We are attending a proper banquet, not a private conspiracy. We are going openly and honestly; can't we have friends and relatives come to see us off?"

Standing by the pool, Luo Luo Yanjun reminded him: "Young Master Li, the Great Shang Empire might be a bit different from what you think."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "I have asked the Earthly Gods, so I know a little bit."

Before coming, Li Li Banfeng had heard Luo Luo Shaojun talk about the situation in the Inner Continent and had also confirmed it with Qiu Qiu Luoye, Meng Meng Yuchun, and Shui Shui Yongquan. Everyone described it from different angles, but it was basically consistent with what Luo Luo Shaojun had said.

Luo Luo Shaojun was a bit anxious: "Seventh Brother, I didn't know you were going by water beforehand. The water route and the land route are different."

Luo Su Lijun hurriedly said: "The water route is better; the water route is much better than the land route!"

Luo Luo Yanjun snorted coldly: "That's not what you said to Ma Ma Junyang."

The reporter hurriedly wrote it down: Miss Luo Su Lijun personally admitted that the water route is better.

Li Li Banfeng didn't say anything more and jumped into the pool with the five conch sisters.

Before falling into the pool, the flashes of the reporters' cameras kept going off.

Under the water, Luo Luo Yanjun asked Luo Su Lijun: "Who is coming to pick us up?"

Luo Su Lijun replied: "Boundless City."

"Can they come?"

"They definitely will; this is the Luo family's territory."

Li Li Banfeng couldn't hear what they were saying. He only saw that the conch sisters could communicate freely underwater.

Swimming underwater for a long time, Li Li Banfeng felt as if he had lost the concept of time and space.

This feeling was very strange. Li Li Banfeng felt as if he had been swimming for a year, and also felt that the flash of the reporter who had just taken the photo hadn't gone out yet. Completely unable to judge the length of time, completely unaware of his location, Li Li Banfeng had no desire to breathe in the water, feeling that he was merging with the surrounding water.

Gurgle~

A huge bubble rose from the bottom of the water, covering Li Li Banfeng and the five sisters inside.

Breathing a mouthful of air, Li Li Banfeng became a bit clearer, seemingly perceiving his own existence once again.

Looking down, at the bottom of the water, there were two mountains slowly approaching them, and the valley in the middle was slowly widening.

The valley is widening?

Li Li Banfeng adjusted his perspective; he wanted to see the full picture of the valley.

The projector crawled out of Li Li Banfeng's pocket and used its lens to capture the outline of the valley.
