Chapter 55: Entering the City
At night, Li Ji arrived at Mingzhou City. At this time, Mingzhou was no longer what it was when he came last time. The whole city did not look lifeless at night. There were bright lights everywhere, and the sound of "yo" spread throughout the city. It seemed that
, business is booming in this city.
Li Ji landed in a corner of the city. He came from the darkness to this bright place. He looked at the noodle stall in front of him and couldn't help but smile. He still remembered that a few months ago, he was also here.
One person ate enough for three or five people.
"Shopkeeper, a bowl of noodles."
"Okay! Please wait a moment, sir."
It's still a bit deserted here. It seems that there are still not many people eating noodles at night. Not far away, the restaurant is doing good business. Li Ji doesn't care about this, as long as he wants something that can fill his stomach, he can accept it.
The store owner had long since forgotten Li Ji, maybe it was just an accident in his business that day.
After eating the noodles and paying, Li Ji walked to the most crowded place in the city. It was so crowded that he didn't know what he was doing.
Li Ji just made a small effort and squeezed in easily.
Amid the commotion, Li Ji saw the stage. It was a large arena, much larger than what he had seen during the Sword Sect's Grand Trial. He saw, in the distant viewing seats,
There was a woman with a nervous face and her eyes fixed on the stage, as if this was a very important thing to her.
Li Ji only turned his attention to the ring at this time. He didn't care what he was doing, as long as there was no evil spirit.
This is the look of two young men competing in a competition. Seeing that they refused to give in to each other and wanted to kill each other with every move, they looked like they were bitter and resentful. When he thought about the woman sitting in the seat, Li Ji understood clearly. He shook his head.
He shook his head. This kind of thing, even if you don’t look at it, is not something worthy of attention.
Just as Li Ji was turning around to leave his life, he suddenly stopped and a suffocating evil spirit came out. It was in the audience seat that a middle-aged man glanced at Li Ji inadvertently. He suddenly
He turned around and stared at the man.
This man is somewhat bald, has a rich look on his face, is even more bloated, and his clothes are extremely gorgeous. His neck and hands are full of rare treasures. He seems to be harmless, but his eyes
, is an existence that Li Ji does not dare to neglect.
Seeing so many people around, Li Ji didn't dare to take action easily. This was a bit different from Hu Yao. Although it was daytime, there were not so many people. It was crowded with people, and it might be difficult to even draw the sword.
.But now that he saw the demon, Li Ji would not leave. He saw the last moment. It should be the young master on the left who finally won. Seeing that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, his clothes were disheveled, but his face was full of smiles. That was a look.
What kind of excitement, looking at the woman sitting in the seat, everything is self-evident.
The crowd had dispersed, and the women stepped onto the ring, helped the man up, and the two of them left step by step, but Li Ji was still staring at the rich middle-aged man.
Obviously, others were also paying attention to Li Ji. When the crowd completely dispersed, he walked over to Li Ji.
"Young man, why don't you leave yet?" The voice was rich and majestic, completely different from his appearance at this time. Li Ji laughed. He looked at the man and said, "I don't know how to call him?"
"It's fine to call me Cao Ziang, but you should call me Uncle Cao." Cao Ziang had a smile on his face, as if he already knew everything.
Li Ji was stunned for a moment when he heard his name. He was so familiar with this name. He was the second stall holder of Misty Island and the most befriended monster of Misty Island by Jian Zong. Unexpectedly, he was actually here. Li Ji coughed a few times.
, said with some embarrassment: "How do you know my identity."
Cao Ziang laughed. He looked at the sky in the distance, where there was darkness. He was lost in thought, and then he replied: "My child, your reputation is too obvious."
Li Ji was stunned on the spot. He lowered his head and looked. The waistband was well hidden. How did Cao Ziang see it? Just as he was wondering, Cao Ziang said again: "This waistband has the specific spiritual power fluctuations of Jianzong. You
Are you the disciple who just came down from the mountain to practice?"
Li Ji nodded.
"That's it. A few decades ago, a disciple of the Sword Sect came here. Like you, he is young, but already very strong. He also noticed my existence, just like you today, and guarded me for a whole day.
One night, I still remembered that his name was Song Zhe, I think you should know him, he said that he was the chief disciple of the Sword Sect, I don’t know whether it was true or not."
Li Ji scratched his head and replied: "It's true, he is my senior brother."
"Oh, is that so? Jian Zong has produced a lot of talents over the years. Do you know why I can see it?"
Li Ji shook his head and said he didn't know.
"I just said that your waist badges contain Jian Sect's specific spiritual energy fluctuations. Although you hid it very well and presumably it was the sect's requirement, monsters like us can easily tell them apart. You should
Have you ever seen a big stall, right?"
He smiled and asked Li Ji.
"How do you know?" Li Ji couldn't help but ask.
"You have the demonic aura left by him on you. Although it is very weak, it may be that a long time has passed, but at that time, he must have been murderous. I didn't expect that after so many years, he still hasn't changed." Cao Ziang shook his head and smiled.
, seems to be remembering the past.
"Okay, kid, do you want to go to my house? I have some good flower wine there. I brewed it not long ago and it tastes really good."
Li Ji shook his head and refused: "I know you mean well, but I still have things to do, so I won't disturb you."
Cao Ziang shook his head and said with a smile: "You can't catch Hu Yao. You couldn't do it a few months ago, and it's still the case now. The power behind her is too powerful, and even I can't do anything about it. Think about it.
,can you do it?"
Listening to Cao Ziang's words, Li Ji thought of the looming evil spirit outside the city that night. That guy was so strong that he didn't even know his true strength.
Cao Zi'ang patted Li Ji's shoulder and said, "Well, since you don't want to go, I won't force you. However, I advise you, don't worry about this matter. With me here, at least you can still have something."
She must exercise restraint. She doesn't dare to do anything too extreme. Although I'm not that strong, my words still count for a few points."
Li Ji sighed, then thought of something and said, "That girl just now?"
Cao Ziang said: "I have a friend's daughter for many years. If it weren't for her, I would have gone back long ago. I promised him that I would take good care of his daughter until she grows up and gets married."
"Really? Then her father."
"A mortal, nothing more. He helped me, so I can repay him." Although he said so, Cao Ziang's eyes were deep, and he was deeply nostalgic for the past. Li Ji did not dare to ask more questions, and Cao Ziang's expression changed obviously.
, obviously, this friend is very important to him, maybe a life and death friend.
"Then I won't disturb you, kid. I'll take my leave." Li Ji said with his hands in hand.
