Chapter 387: The Demon Princess's Movements Are a Bit Strange
"What's going on today? Why are so many people here? Didn't we agree that as long as it's Seeing Ji You's restaurant, everyone should boycott it together?"
"The Demon race delegation is entering the capital again, coming here to observe..."
"The delegation is entering the capital, in the next few days?"
"Already outside the city, about to enter the city immediately."
Shengjing City Yong'an Street, Hongding Building, the waiter responsible for serving tea and water was constantly running upstairs and downstairs, so busy that his shoes were about to run off.
And the busy figure he corresponded to was the crowd of tea guests, who were gathering in groups and discussing endlessly.
After the fall of Youzhou and Yunzhou, the human race's confidence in standing proudly above all races was almost broken, and their perception of the Barbarian and Demon races also changed drastically.
No one regarded them as uncivilized savage races anymore, but more defined them as threats that had not yet come out of the northern border, so this Demon race delegation's entry into the capital attracted great attention.
Because everyone was very curious why the Demon race would send people to the human imperial city while allied with the Barbarian race.
Not long after, with the opening of the north city gate, the city became much quieter. Everyone looked up and watched. It didn't take much effort to see a group of majestic four-hoofed demon beasts enter the city, and the heavy footsteps made the stone slabs on the interface rumble.
And the aura emitted by the riders on the demon beasts made them all unable to help but narrow their eyes.
"Who is the person in front?"
"The Demon race prince. Four years ago, when the Demon race and the human race traded, he also visited Shengjing like this."
"Ah... is it the time when Seeing Ji You drew his sword against the Demon race in the street?"
"Not bad, the one who is good at using the long spear is his guard."
"What about the one in the carriage? Seems to be a woman."
"Hasn't been here before, but according to the visiting list released a few days ago, this should be the prince's sister, the Demon race's Princess Fengyang. Looking at the aura, she is also a Great Demon."
Under the gaze of the eyes, the group arrived at the imperial city, were arranged to stay in the Shengjing Immortal Garden, and were summoned into the imperial palace after half a day of reorganization.
The task of the Immortal Supervision is to escort the Demon race delegation to the imperial city to meet the current Great Xia Emperor, so when they watched the Demon race enter the palace to meet, they disbanded on the spot.
Xiang Kuangcheng took a detour into Chunhua Lane, intending to see how the progress of the house he was repairing was now.
Just entering the alley, a burst of *ding ding dang dang* sounds continued to ring out in it.
On the original collapsed foundation, the hired craftsmen were knocking on stones and building walls, and the collapsed house gradually had a rough prototype.
However, what attracted Xiang Kuangcheng's attention was not the progress of the courtyard project, but the two figures standing at the door, also observing those craftsmen building walls.
"Brother Ji, ah, and Little Brother Yuan, why are you here?"
Yuanchen, who was holding a storybook, looked up when he heard the sound, and greeted Xiang Kuangcheng immediately: "Brother Kuang, long time no see!"
Seeing Ji You also turned his head, stared at Xiang Kuangcheng for a long time, and then reached out to touch the scholar Kuang's neck, looking serious and worried about his friend's dog life.
Xiang Kuangcheng felt slightly uncomfortable being touched by him, and his expression was stunned: "What's wrong, Brother Ji?"
"I'm checking to see if you talked nonsense over there at the Demon race and got your neck wiped..."
"Kuang has read all the sages' books since he was a child, how could he talk nonsense?"
"Because the thing Gongshu Chou wrote is purely fabricated."
Xiang Kuangcheng understood immediately that Seeing Ji You was talking about the Demon Princess, so the corners of his mouth twitched. He thought of Princess Fengyang's moist eyes in Wanzhuo Mountain, and fell into silence.
Fabricated? But why do I feel that Brother Gongshu is a realist?
Seeing Ji You saw him silent, thinking he really hit a nose of gray, so he patted him on the shoulder: "How long will the construction period of your small courtyard last?"
Xiang Kuangcheng came back to his senses: "After repairing the house and leveling the courtyard, it will be fine. They said it can be completed before the New Year. By the way, Brother Ji, didn't you go to the Sage Land to retreat? Why did you suddenly return to Shengjing at this time?"
"Yuanchen was stifled in the Sage Land, so I brought him out for a stroll. My cultivation just had some questions, so I plan to think about it first."
"Is it okay?"
"It's just a little worried for now, but it's probably no problem."
Seeing Ji You pondered for a long time and gave an ambiguous answer.
Whether he can Spirit Travel as he wishes after successfully reaching the ninth level of the physical Boundless Realm is the biggest worry he is facing now.
However, although Qingshan has no records about physical Spirit Travel, there are experiences of Enlightenment Spirit Travel Realm that can be used for reference, so Seeing Ji You plans to reverse it, but he doesn't know the result yet.
While talking, Yuanchen suddenly touched his stomach, then looked up at Seeing Ji You: "Brother-in-law, I'm hungry."
Seeing Ji You came back to his senses and looked at Xiang Kuangcheng: "Yuanchen hasn't eaten much since the morning. Since you just returned, let's find a restaurant to welcome you."
"Brother Ji is spending money."
"I didn't say I would treat you. There must be travel expenses for business trips, right?"
"?"
The restaurants in Shengjing were overcrowded because of the Demon race's visit, and it was not easy to find an empty seat.
But fortunately, the owners of these restaurants were Seeing Ji You, so they were too lazy to squeeze, so they found an empty courtyard adjacent to the restaurant and called for a table of dishes.
In the afternoon, the sunset went west, and the Demon race delegation left the Great Xia Imperial Palace and returned to the Immortal Garden. The news about the meeting also began to spread gradually in Shengjing.
According to the officials present, the Demon race proposed as soon as they entered the imperial dynasty that they had also lived in the Nine Prefectures, and the currently occupied Yunzhou was once one of their ancestral lands. The reason for attacking the Nine Prefectures was the general trend, but they didn't hope to be at odds with the human race.
In addition, they also expressed that the territory of Yunzhou plus the northern border was enough for the Demon race to live, and they would not provoke war at will, hoping that the two races could live in harmony.
As for the second point, the Demon race prince claimed that he had admired the Seven Great Immortal Sects of the human race for a long time, and hoped that there would be a chance to send clansmen to the Immortal Sect to cultivate in the future.
As a condition, the Demon race's spirit stones and Yunzhou's spirit stones could still be supplied to the human race.
Great Xia is just a tool of the Immortal Sect and can receive information but cannot handle it. So, while there was much discussion in the city, the content of the first meeting was soon sent to the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan.
After Yu Yingqiu retreated, the sect affairs of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan were always managed by Zuo Qiuyang. This negotiation content was naturally placed in front of him.
"We can't agree to the Demon race's hope of reasonably occupying Yunzhou, and it is well known that the Demon race doesn't cultivate the Heavenly Dao. This is definitely not the purpose of their sudden mission to the human race."
Zuo Qiuyang rolled up his sleeves: "Send people to watch their movements closely these days, and remember to pay attention to clues."
Qin Rong took the order and arched his hands, and then said: "By the way, Hall Master, Seeing Ji You seems to have returned to the capital."
"Isn't he in the Sage Land, borrowing the leaked essence spiritual energy to cultivate? Why did he suddenly return to the capital at this time?"
"Probably encountered some problems. Just after returning from the city, he went directly to the Library Pavilion, found many books on body refinement and Spirit Travel Realm, and has been reading silently for half a day."
Zuo Qiuyang stroked his long beard after hearing this, pondered for a long time, and nodded: "It seems he is thinking about the Spirit Travel Realm."
Qin Rong raised his head in shock after hearing this: "In such a short time, he is about to reach Spirit Travel combat power?"
"He already has Boundless Realm combat power. It's not strange that he wants to Spirit Travel after retreating for so long, but the problem is whether there is really a next realm for body refinement. This is the most critical question. You must know that Spirit Travel Realm is a realm that completely relies on Heavenly Dao perception. Even I don't know how body refiners can break through the realm."
"This..."
"His affairs naturally need to be solved by himself. We don't need to intervene too much. Your task is to watch the Demon race closely, and there must be no mistakes."
"Follow the Hall Master's decree."
Qin Rong bowed and retired, then left the Zizai Hall, hurried down the mountain, and handed over the matter of watching the Demon race's movements in the city to the disciples.
The human race sent a mission to the Demon race and invited the Demon race to visit, with the purpose of disintegrating the alliance between the Barbarian and Demon races and reducing the risk of war to the lowest. So, to show friendliness, they didn't restrict the Demon race's actions in the city.
And the Demon race didn't think they were invaders, but returned to their homeland, so naturally they didn't close their doors, but appeared in the bustling market many times, and even had contact with clans that had spirit stone transactions.
Because they didn't go out at the same time, the disciples of the Management Hall were divided into several batches to follow one by one.
At noon the next day, Wen Siyuan, a disciple of the Management Hall who followed the Scale Clan's son Yashan, rested in the teahouse and sorted out the results of half a day's following.
Yashan sat idly in the restaurant and chatted with some people, during which he asked about the ruins.
Soon, another disciple of the Management Hall named Luo Jiu also came to the teahouse. He followed the Demon Prince Ye Han. It is said that he met with officials of the pro-Immortal faction under Prince Chong, and mentioned spirit stone sales and human geniuses, etc.
The two exchanged information, and immediately after, another disciple who followed the Demon Princess, Sun Ye, arrived at the teahouse, sweating profusely.
"I thought only human women could shop in a broken street without stopping, but I didn't expect Demon women to be no exception. It's really expensive for shoes!"
"Did this Princess Fengyang go to many places?" ===== CHAPTER 388 =====
