After chatting with Sister Nangong, Ye Hong had a certain understanding of Blazing Fire City and Blazing Flame Palace. Blazing Fire City is the core of the entire Southern Territory, and not only the headquarters of Blazing Flame Palace is located here.
There are also many general chambers of commerce, and the well-known chambers of commerce on the Five Elements Continent are also concentrated here. It is considered one of the most prosperous places in the Southern Region.
The forces in the city are complex. The more powerful ones are the Huo family, the Huang family and the Xiao family, and there are countless other families, large and small.
Although people like the Nangong family are not a big force, they are not low-income people either. They still have a small reputation in the city and can be regarded as a middle-class force.
Although these families are powerful, they are still subject to the control of the Blazing Flame Palace. Every year, these families have to pay a large fee to the Blazing Flame Palace to maintain their status in the city. The Blazing Flame Palace will also protect them. These families are powerful and powerful.
It can be said that the largest force is the Blazing Flame Palace, but the Blazing Flame Palace is only responsible for managing the order of the Southern Territory, and they will not interfere with any forces that appear in the Southern Territory.
As long as protection fees are paid to the Blazing Flame Palace and recognized by the Blazing Flame Palace, these forces can exist.
The Blazing Flame Palace recruits disciples every few years. Being able to enter the Blazing Flame Palace is the dream of every cultivator in the Southern Territory. The Blazing Flame Palace not only has the right to override all the forces in the Southern Territory, but also has many cultivation methods. resource.
Once you can become the true disciple of several hall masters of Blazing Flame Hall, you will soar into the sky and become famous from now on. The Blazing Flame Palace now has one chief palace master and seven palace masters.
It is said that the master of the main hall has reached the ninth level of the emperor level. The master of the first hall has the same strength as the main hall master. The master of the seventh hall with the lowest cultivation level also has the cultivation level of the third level of the emperor level. There has always been a rule in Blazing Flame Hall. , only those who reach the emperor level are qualified to become the palace master.
Each palace master has his own sphere of influence. Whenever someone is promoted to the position of palace master, the chief palace master will divide a part of the city for him and put it under the management of the new palace master.
These power cities that belong to the palace master will turn over a huge amount of cultivation resources every year, so everyone wants to be the palace master.
But unfortunately, it is not so easy to get the position of palace master. Not only does one have to reach the emperor level in cultivation, but one also has to have considerable foundation.
All the cities have been assigned to the names of the various palace masters, and no one wants to give up part of the city to the new palace master. After all, everyone wants the cultivation resources. The newly appointed Lord of the Seventh Palace back then had to go through a lot of twists and turns before he got his own power city.
The eldest daughter, Nangong Ying, is frail and frail. She is an ordinary person without any cultivation. The second young lady, Nangong Ling, is only at the fourth level of Soul Tribulation Realm, so she has no power to fight back when encountering bandits.
"Miss! We're here."
"Young Master Ye, Sister Feng, please come with me to the mansion to rest."
Ye Hong and the other two followed Sister Nangong Ying into Nangong Mansion. As soon as they entered the door, Sister Nangong Ying's parents hurriedly welcomed them.
"Ying'er, Ling'er, are you okay?"
"I heard from the maid that you encountered bandits on the road?"
"Father, mother, we are fine. Thanks to Mr. Ye and Sister Feng's rescue, we were able to escape."
Nangong Ying introduced Ye Hong and the two people next to him to his parents, and briefly told the story of the bandits he encountered on the road.
"I, Nangong Wenhao, thank you two benefactors for rescuing my daughter!"
"Senior Nangong, you're welcome! Just call me Ye Hong." Ye Hong returned the greeting.
"This senior is unworthy of me! How can I allow you to call me senior with my mere Nascent Soul stage cultivation?"
"Senior Nangong, I actually have no hidden cultivation. I am really only at the third level of the Soul Tribulation Realm. It was a coincidence that I was able to save the two young ladies. I used some means to scare away the bandits."
"I see, but my benefactor must have amazing means to save his beloved daughter from the bandits with such cultivation, which is far beyond the courage of ordinary people. I admire you! If you don't mind, just call me brother, okay? No need to call me senior anymore."
"That's my presumption, brother Nangong!" Ye Hong saluted.
Nangong Wenhao laughed loudly, "Brother Ye, stop standing around and come in quickly! I'll ask my servants to prepare some wine and food, and I'll stay in the house for a while. I'd like to thank you both!"
At the beginning of the dinner, Nangong Wenhao presented a thank you gift.
"Brother Ye, this Fire Lingzhi, Yunling Wenyu, and these five hundred thousand crystal stones should be regarded as a thank you gift for rescuing my daughter. Please accept it!"
"Brother Nangong! This can't be done. The thank-you gift is too expensive. You should take it back! We don't need any thank-you gift."
At this time, Sister Nangong Ying just changed into clothes and came to the hall. Ye Hong glanced at them unintentionally, and Nangong Wenhao suddenly got the wrong idea.
"No thanks? Could it be that Brother Ye has fallen in love with one of my daughters? If my daughter is willing, I can make it happen."
Sister Nangong Ying, who had just arrived in the hall, heard Nangong Wenhao's words. Nangong Ying's face suddenly turned red and she did not dare to raise her head. Nangong Ling frowned and looked at Ye Hong.
Feng Shuting was immediately displeased and pinched the waist of Ye Hong next to her hard, causing Ye Hong to take a deep breath. Said hurriedly,
"Brother Nangong, you misunderstood! I didn't mean that. I just wanted to ask Brother Nangong if there is any news about the ninth-level demon core. I intend to buy the ninth-level demon core."
Nangong Wenhao was a little surprised when he heard that Ye Hong needed a ninth-level demon core.
"Brother Ye, this ninth-level demon core cannot be bought with money!"
Seeing what Nangong Wenhao said, Ye Hong was very surprised, "Brother Nangong, do you have a ninth-level demon core? What are its attributes?"
"How could I have it? This thing is priceless. If you come across it, you're lucky. Moreover, this thing is extremely rare and rarely appears."
Seeing Ye Hong sigh, Nangong Wenhao knew that Ye Hong was probably not joking and really wanted the ninth-level demon core, so he continued,
"If brother Ye really needs it, I can help you inquire. I still know some people in the Southern Territory business. But brother Ye, don't have too much hope. The ninth-order demon core is too rare, so it may not necessarily be possible. can have."
"As long as you can help me find out some information, it will already help me a lot. What I need now is the ninth-level demon core with the four attributes of earth, metal, water, and wood. If I can find the best one, I will give it to Brother Lao Nangong. Thank you for taking so much trouble.”
Nangong Wenhao was surprised. He thought that Ye Hong only needed one kind of ninth-level demon core, but he didn't expect that there were four kinds.
"Don't worry, Brother Ye! I wonder why you want so many kinds of ninth-level demon cores?"
"To be honest, I wanted to use it to save my life. Due to some accidents, only these ninth-level demon cores can be used now."
The manly Nangong Wenhao saw that Ye Hong didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any more questions, "I will try my best! You stay in my house for a while first, and I will go find out the news in the next few days."
"Thank you so much, Brother Nangong!"
After Ye Hong talked with Nangong Ying on the carriage and learned that the Nangong family had business in various places, Ye Hong thought of asking them to help find out about the ninth-level demon core. This is why Ye Hong did not ask for a thank you gift.
Although the thank you gift given by Nangong Wenhao was very good, for me now, finding the ninth level demon core is the most important thing. As for how to get the ninth-level demon core after the news, that is another matter. Anyway, we must get it at all costs.
After the dinner, Ye Hong went to find Nangong Ying alone.
"Master Ye, my father was so presumptuous during the dinner just now, please forgive me!"
"Those are all trivial matters, and I don't take them to heart. I'm looking for you to ask if you can take us around Blazing City tomorrow. After all, we are new here and are not very familiar with it. I hope someone can take us there." road."
"no problem!"
"Thank you very much, Miss Ying!"
"Young Master Ye, you don't have to be polite, just call me Ying'er from now on!"
Then Ye Hong returned to the room to rest. The days of sleeping in the open air finally came to an end, and I could finally sleep comfortably.
But it seemed that things didn't go as well as Ye Hong thought, and he could fall asleep while lying on the bed.
"Junior brother, you haven't rested yet!"
Ye Hong opened the door and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with Senior Sister Feng? What's the matter?"
Feng Shuting hesitated and said: "I...can I go in and talk?"
Then Ye Hong let Feng Shuting enter the room and closed the door.
Ye Hong asked with concern: "What's wrong? Senior Sister Feng, what happened? What's wrong?"
"I...I'm just scared to be alone."
Seeing Feng Shuting's timid appearance, Ye Hong recalled that Feng Shuting had been taciturn since she came to Nangong Mansion, and said teasingly,
"Senior Sister Feng, are you afraid of strangers? How old are you? Are you still afraid of meeting strangers?"
"I don't know either! I don't know how to communicate with strangers. I used to see you when I opened and closed my eyes, but now you are suddenly no longer in front of me. I'm a little scared. Can I practice in your room tonight?" Feng Shuting said. The quieter the voice, the final sound is as thin as a mosquito.
With Ye Hong's hearing, he could naturally hear what Feng Shuting said, but he was slightly embarrassed. After all, this was Nangong Mansion, someone else's residence. It would be easy for others to misunderstand if Feng Shuting stayed in her room for one night.
"Senior Sister Feng, it is easy for people to misunderstand a man and a woman living together in the same room. This will affect your reputation and you will not be able to get married."
"I'm not afraid! And haven't we lived together before? I practice at night and won't disturb your rest."
Feng Shuting said this, but she was thinking in her heart, 'I have no intention of marrying anyone else anyway. '
Ye Hong had no choice but to agree to Feng Shuting's request. Seeing that Feng Shuting had entered a state of cultivation, Ye Hong was about to go to bed when another voice came from outside the door.
"Young Master Ye! You haven't slept yet!"
Ye Hong opened the door again and found Nangong Ying.
Nangong Ying saw Ye Hong open the door and said softly: "Mr. Ye, I saw that you drank a lot tonight, so I made you a bowl of hangover soup. I will bring this soup to you."
Before Ye Hong could react, Nangong Ying had already brought the soup into the house. Ye Hong suddenly remembered that Feng Shuting was still in his house. Don't let Nangong Ying misunderstand this, so he hurriedly followed her into the house.
"Mr. Ye, I've put the soup on the table for you. You should drink it while it's hot."
Nangong Ying just turned around and saw Feng Shuting walking out of the back room. She was startled and almost dropped the tray in her hand.
"Feng...Sister Feng!"
Feng Shuting frowned and looked at Nangong Ying and the soup on the table. She was about to speak when Ye Hong walked in and said first,
"Senior Sister Feng just wanted to ask me some questions about cultivation. I didn't expect you, Ying'er, to come over."
"Oh! Then I'll make a bowl of soup for Sister Feng." Nangong Ying was about to leave in a hurry, not daring to look directly into Feng Shuting's eyes.
"I didn't drink at night, so I won't bother Miss Nangong to cook in person!" Feng Shuting's words were full of displeasure, and her tone increased when she said the last few words.
"Senior Sister Feng, don't get me wrong. Ying'er is just out of good intentions and has no other intentions."
"Ying'er, thank you! It's so late for you to bring me soup. It's quite late now, so I won't keep you here. You can go back first! I'll find you again tomorrow."
Hearing the smell of gunpowder from Feng Shuting, Ye Hong hurriedly explained in both directions and sent Nangong Ying away.
