When it was just dawn, Rong Fei left the city lord's mansion with the Qiu family and his daughter, heading towards the competition location outside the city.
On the way, people from the four major aristocratic families of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen gathered in. Qiu Moyan smiled and nodded to greet them, as if what happened last night had never happened.
Among them was Chen Huiming, whose eyes were full of resentment when he saw Rong Fei.
"Hmph! What are you looking at with a pair of dog eyes? Believe it or not, I will dig it up for you and feed it to the dog."
Qiu Yue'e shouted angrily, which scared Chen Huiming and quickly turned his head away.
Although it was still early, there were already many people on the streets.
Rong Fei observed as he walked, and found that all of these people were refreshed and relaxed, and there was no trace of panic at all because Qingfeng City might soon change hands.
Qiu Moyan, who was walking side by side, seemed to be aware of what Rong Fei was thinking, and explained with a smile.
"The temple has an oracle, and any disputes between the main cities must not affect the people. So in the end, the only ones who are really unlucky are the nobles from aristocratic families who control a lot of land and wealth between the city lords and the people. I just thought about it last night. After understanding this truth, there is no such resentment towards the Song, Qi, Liang, Chen, and Liu Chen families. The root of everything is that we, the Qiu family, failed to fulfill our responsibilities as city lords."
Hearing this, Rong Fei felt angry and amused. For a moment, he didn't know whether to praise Lord Qiu for his benevolence or to scold him for bringing the blame upon himself.
If it weren't for his arrival, the Qiu family in Qingfeng City would have lost their children and grandchildren in a daze.
However, Rong Fei became more and more curious about the so-called temple.
What kind of existence is there?
What kind of group of gods or... humans live inside?
The venue for the competition is located in a mountain depression five miles east of Qingfeng City.
The interior of the col is wide and flat, surrounded by several low hills.
Under the leadership of Qiu Moyan, the group climbed to the top of a short hill. Standing on the top of the hill, they could have a panoramic view of the entire mountain col.
At this time, the remaining low hills were already filled with people. After seeing the people from Qingfeng City arriving, some people began to jeer loudly.
"Why did Lao Qiu come here? But he can't afford to lose?"
"It's a knife to shrink your head, and it's a knife to extend your head. The result is the same, so why not be more decisive like a man."
"Hmph! The dog's mouth..."
Qiu Yue'e's eyebrows stood up. She snorted coldly and was about to retaliate, but Qiu Moyan stopped her.
"Don't engage in verbal disputes, let them talk about it."
Seats have been prepared on the top of the hill in advance. Qiu Moyan, Qiu Yue'e, Rong Fei and the heads of the four families sat down respectively, while the other juniors and servants stood behind.
After sitting down, Rong Fei glanced around and saw several Shushan disciples he had seen before gathered on the top of a hill two hills away on the left.
There was a person among them who was handsome, handsome, and had an extraordinary temperament. I guess it was the Shushan Wei Junxian whom I had heard for a long time.
On the left side of Wei Junxian sat a scholar with the same excellent temperament, and on the right side sat a handsome little bald man with red lips and white teeth.
Is this a... monk?
Rong Fei first felt curious, and then felt relieved.
As expected of Wei Junxian, who was regarded as a great enemy by the two sworn brothers. How could Wei Junxian not think of the methods that the two of them could think of.
So Murong Canghai and Bai Zizai found themselves, while Wei Junxian found a Buddhist disciple out of nowhere.
"Over there is Houtucheng, which is one of the most powerful main cities. Although the city lord Yao is equally ambitious, because the territory of Houtucheng is not adjacent to Qingfeng City, there should be no collision in this competition. They can't be found. The guys sitting next to City Lord Yao look unfamiliar, they shouldn't be from Houtucheng."
After finding out that Rong Fei didn't covet her, Qiu Yue'e's impression of Rong Fei became much better. At this time, she noticed Rong Fei's eyes and introduced him in a low voice.
"Like me, from outside."
Rong Fei said.
At this time, Wei Junxian, who was opposite him, also noticed Rong Fei's gaze and greeted him with a smile from a distance. Rong Fei also smiled and returned the greeting.
"Are you all on the same journey?"
Qiu Yue'e frowned and asked.
"We have never met, so how can we talk about it?"
"How many people did you come in? What is your purpose?"
"I can't explain it in one or two sentences. I'll explain it to you later when I have a chance."
Rong Fei was dealing with Qiu Yuee while searching for the two sworn brothers.
But his eyes scanned all the surrounding hills but couldn't find it.
Strange, are those two guys lost?
It can’t be that something unexpected happened!
Murong Canghai and Bai Zizai were not found, but they saw four strange men full of evil spirits and red eyes flashing on the hill immediately to the right.
People from the Demon Palace!
Although he didn't know each other, Rong Fei immediately guessed the identities of the four people.
"The one on the right is Thunder City, and the one on the left is Yanhuo City. These two families are adjacent to the territory of Qingfeng City. In the past hundred years, these two families have been eyeing us and won many cities."
Qiu Yue'e continued to introduce Rong Fei.
Shushan went to Houtucheng, and there was no direct conflict of interest with Qingfeng City, so he could ignore it for the time being.
The Thunder City where the four demons are located is the formidable enemy that Qingfeng City says it will face, and it is no match for them on its own.
It seems that we still need to find two respectable and lovely sworn brothers to help as soon as possible.
As for Yanhuo City, which was on the left without outside help, it was directly ignored by Rong Fei.
Brothers, where are you?
Rong Fei activated his spiritual vision and searched within several miles.
With the abilities of Murong Canghai and Bai Zizai, there would never be any personal danger in this ruins with low combat power, so it was probably because they were unclear about the situation, so they hid in the dark and waited for opportunities.
Sure enough, Rong Fei quickly found the two voices on the back side of a hill, and then whispered a few words into Qiu Yue'e's ear.
Although Qiu Yue'e was full of doubts, she still stood up, said hello to Qiu Moyan, and left.
Not long after, Qiu Yue'e led the two weirdos back to Rong Fei under the strange gazes of everyone in Qingfeng City.
"What are you two doing?"
Rong Fei asked Bai Zizai, whose body was covered with small swords, and Murong Canghai, whose body was covered with talismans.
"Find two chairs for us to sit down first and then say okay. Now we are like your little brothers, which is very embarrassing."
Bai Zizai said dissatisfied.
"One carrot and one pit, the seats have been arranged in advance. You two should feel aggrieved first."
Rong Fei grabbed Qiu Yue'e who was about to find a chair and smiled at the two of them.
The two had no choice but to stand behind Rong Fei reluctantly, playing the role of temporary younger brother.
"The aura of the ruins here is too strong. If it is not suppressed, there is a possibility of a breakthrough in cultivation at any time."
After standing still, Murong Canghai explained in a low voice.
"Suppress cultivation? Why?"
Rong Fei asked strangely.
