Chapter 159(1/2)
Lancheng took out a messaging talisman, wrote a few small words on it, and then threw it out in the west.
The transmission talisman suddenly turned into a ray of light and shadow, disappearing into the sky at supersonic speed.

“Black?!”
The two were on the fire lion. Huang Guting was slightly surprised for a moment and his mental power was released again. At this time, the blue words on Huanxi's back were indeed crystal blue, so where did they look black?
Huang Guting shook his head, could it be because of Lancheng just now?
"Forget it! All colors are the same!" Huang Guting smiled and did not care about this matter anymore!
One day later,
Huang Guting and Huanxi appeared outside Helan City on a fire lion!
Helan City is already a big city closest to Tianqin Imperial City, and it is also one of the thirteen main cities of the Tianqin Empire. The overall size is almost the same as that of Fengcheng, but since it is the main city, it is much more prosperous than Fengcheng.
Huang Guting smiled and said, "It's time to eat again! Let's go down and rest for a while, and we should be able to go to Tianqin Imperial City tomorrow!"
Huanxi has no idea, I only know that I have eaten and dressed warmly these days, and compared with the previous scenes of ice and snow, I am extremely happy!
Huang Guting had just entered the city with Huanxi and the Fire Lion when two figures in black appeared in front of Huang Guting.
Huang Guting frowned slightly, looked at the two fierce figures and said, "What do you want to do?"
"We President invite you!" said one of the men in black.
"What president?" Huang Guting's heart moved and he had a guess.
"Helan City Branch of Qinglin Chamber of Commerce!" said the man in black.
Huang Guting knew it in his heart and smiled and said, "Is there anything wrong?"
The man in black said, "Young Master is gone! I will know naturally!"
Huang Guting smiled, pushed Huanxi behind him, and said, "What if I don't want to go?"
The two of them suddenly turned cold, and the cultivation momentum of the fifth level of the True Yuan Realm was released and pressed towards Huang Guting.
Huang Guting's face was calm, without any discomfort, and he still looked at the two of them calmly.
The two of them were shocked, looked at each other, and then looked at the soldiers patrolling at the city gate, but they did not take action after all.
His tone was eased a little and said, "How can you go?"
Huang Guting led Huanxi and walked away, smiling and said, "If you want to see me, please let your president come in person, otherwise you will not be able to talk!"
"You...!" The two of them snorted coldly, and saw the fire lion staring at them with anger, clenched their fists, and then slowly left.
Huang Guting led Huanxi to look for an inn on the street. Huanxi asked curiously: "Master! Have we met bad people again? Did they come because of Huanxi again?"
Huang Guting touched Huanxi's little head and smiled and said, "Don't think about it, it has nothing to do with you. Be good, let's go to have a meal!"
"Yeah!" Huanxi nodded.
The two of them walked into the Inn at random and ordered some dishes. This time, in order not to waste, Huang Guting ordered only two dishes and one dessert. Huanxi was very happy to eat, and he finished all the leftovers. Then he stared at his innocent little eyes and said shyly: "Master! Did I eat too much? Xiaohuo has nothing to eat!"
"Roar...!" The fire lion roared twice, not knowing what it meant!
Huanxi thought he was hungry when he heard this! He hurriedly ran to the Liehuo Lion, touched the red mane of the Liehuo Lion, and comforted him: "Xiaohuo, don't be anxious! I'll ask my master to buy you some more food now! Can you eat it alone?"
"Ho huh...!"
The fire lion shook his head and shouted in panic.
Huanxi immediately said happily: "Are you very happy?...Master!Master! Buy some more food for Xiaohuo!"
Huanxi ran happily to Huang Guting.
Huang Guting smiled and said, "No need! Xiaohuo is not hungry!"
"How could he not be hungry?" Huanxi said in confusion: "I'm hungry! He is so big, he must be even hungry!"
Huang Guting smiled slightly and said nothing.
As soon as Huang Guting led Huanxi out of the inn, a middle-aged man in black robe came towards him, laughed at Huang Guting, and asked, "Is Mr. Huang?"
Huang Guting nodded lightly and said nothing.
"Haha! The two blind men offended the young master just now, and I came to apologize! Please don't blame me!"
Huang Guting said lightly: "Are you the president of Qinglin Chamber of Commerce?"
"No, no... it's just the branch president! The branch president!" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Huang Guting nodded: "I didn't take what happened just now. If there was nothing else, I'll say goodbye!"
"Young Master, wait!" Zhao Cheng saw that Huang Guting was so ignorant of the current affairs, he immediately narrowed his eyes, glanced at the innocent Huanxi, and then spoke with a faint threat, saying, "Young Master! If you don't explain this clearly, you may not be able to get out of Helan City!"
"Oh?" Huang Guting smiled and said, "Why can't you get out? Is it just based on your cultivation level of the ninth level of the true essence realm? If that's the case, then I'll try it!"
Zhao Cheng's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes looked at Huang Guting invisibly, and suddenly laughed: "Okay! OK! Your son is really hidden! I admire you! He actually saw through my cultivation level at first glance! If your son's cultivation level is not high, he must be a spiritual cultivator!"
Huang Guting looked at Zhao Cheng in surprise. Unexpectedly, Zhao Cheng had a low cultivation level and his knowledge were not low. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he could guess his greatest reliance, which was ultimately some ability!
Huang Guting turned around and looked at Zhao Cheng and smiled and said, "Since the president understands so clearly, he still wants to stop him now?"
Zhao Cheng laughed, changed his tone and said, "I haven't introduced it yet! My surname is Zhao and my name is Cheng! I haven't asked for advice yet, what is Mr. Huang's identity!"
Huang Guting said lightly: "How do you know that my surname is Huang? Have I said it?"
"Haha! The young master is a smart man, so why should he say such a mediocre person?" Zhao Cheng gently stroked his long beard and smiled faintly.
Huang Guting nodded and said, "Is Lancheng here?"
Zhao Chengdao: "Young Master Lan did not come. He was just writing a message! Please give me some face! Otherwise, I will not be able to handle the job!"
Huang Guting shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this won't work. I'm still in a hurry to go to Tianqin Imperial City! If President Zhao is happy, you might as well follow me to the Imperial City!"
"Haha!" Zhao Cheng smiled and said, "Young Master, don't be joking. If you leave this Helan City, Zhao is not sure that you can still talk to the young master like this."
Huang Guting nodded and then said, "Okay! I'll go with you!"
"Please, please!" Zhao Cheng narrowed his eyes into a line and laughed happily.
Huang Guting then jumped onto the fire lion with Huanxi and followed Zhao Cheng.
The reason why Huang Guting agreed to Zhao Cheng was naturally because he had his own plans. Since Huanxi became his teacher, he naturally had to understand Huanxi's life experience and origin, so that would be considered responsible.
Huang Guting quickly followed Zhao Cheng to Wu City! With the branch president of Qinglin Chamber of Commerce and the highest person in charge of the entire Wu City, Huang Guting naturally entered unimpededly without being blocked by the city-defense soldiers.
After entering Wu City, Zhao Cheng was still very polite to Huang Guting, without any idea that Huang Guting had become his turtle in the jar.
Zhao Cheng led Huang Guting to Zhao Cheng's mansion and smiled and said, "Young Master Huang is visiting the humble house, it's so bright!"
Huanxi stared at her eyes wide and looked around curiously. She was naturally very curious when she saw such a luxurious house for the first time.
Zhao Cheng politely invited Huang Guting to the warm pavilion and ordered the maid to present the best hot tea.
Seeing that Zhao Cheng was so polite and patient, Huang Guting smiled slightly and really started to taste the tea.
Zhao Cheng was not in a hurry and kept accompanying Huang Guting to have tea and laugh. After a long time, Zhao Chengcai began to get to the point: "Young Master Huang! Your Madam Lan has confirmed that this little girl Huanxi is indeed the bloodline of the Lan family. So, please ask Mr. Huang to think about it carefully. After all, the little girl is a member of the Lan family, and it is also a matter of returning to the Lan family to recognize her ancestors and return to the Lan family! Why should you stop me?"
Huang Guting smiled slightly and said, "It's not that he was deliberately stopping it. But Huanxi's mother just passed away in Liang Kingdom. I think she was pitiful, so I took her with me and now she has taken it as an apprentice. If the Lan family can't provide evidence, just one-sided words, I'll let me hand over my little apprentice. Isn't it too much? President Zhao, what do you think?" Huang Guting laughed calmly, then took a sip of the tea again.
Huanxi also learned from Huang Guting's appearance and tasted tea in a decent manner. However, she didn't like the astringency of tea at all, and she vomited it out as soon as she drank it in.
Huang Guting smiled and quickly reached out to wipe her mouth. Huanxi smiled shyly, and then lowered her head embarrassedly.
Zhao Cheng saw this scene and thought a little, then slowly said: "It seems that the young master really likes this little girl... However, although I have no evidence, it is impossible for Mr. Lan to be a direct descendant of the Lan family! And there is no need to read it wrong. If the little girl Huanxi is not from the Lan family, how could he spend a lot of effort?"
"Okay! I will believe President Zhao for now! Then, why did Huanxi not know his father, but his mother was in the Liang Kingdom? You always say that Huanxi is the bloodline of the Lan family. Then, I wonder if the bloodline of the Lan family would have such an encounter. If I hadn't happened to meet him, I would have probably never seen your bloodline at this time!"
In front of Huanxi, Huang Guting didn't want to mention the word "death" because he was afraid that he would give her a bad impression.
"This...!" Zhao Cheng frowned slightly, suddenly nodded and said, "What the young master said is reasonable. If I hadn't known some rumors, I would have thought this was nonsense!"
"What rumors?" Huang Guting asked.
Zhao Cheng pondered and said slowly: "This is a scandal in the Lan family of Qinglin Chamber of Commerce! It should not be rumored outside the world, so I hope the young master can just listen to it, and don't talk!"
Huang Guting smiled slightly and nodded, "President Zhao, don't worry!"
Zhao Cheng nodded and said, "Zhao has been in charge of Helan City for decades, so I heard that five years ago, the seventh son of the head of the Lan family was killed by the head of the Lan family because of collusion with the black market. Although this incident was suppressed by the Qinglin Chamber of Commerce, it still caused great shock!"
"The son of the head of the Lan family colluded with the black market?" Huang Guting said in surprise: "The black market and Wu City have always been in opposition, and their interests are different. Why do the seven sons of the Lan family colluded with the black market as the direct descendant of the Lan family?"
Zhao Cheng nodded and sighed: "Who knows! In short, there are rumors like this. The relationship between the black market and the Wuhan City has always been subtle. Although the Wuhan City has always wanted to keep a distance from the black market and even wanted to destroy the black market, the three factions of the Black Market Demon Alliance are also very powerful. The two have always fought for interests! And the places they opened are almost all together. Both the imperial court and the Wuhan City turn a blind eye to maintain this balanced relationship. After all, even if everyone is open on the surface, they are shouting and killing the black market, but the evil in people's hearts is endless! There are always things that cannot be bought in the Wuhan City! So the black market is still safe and sound.
However, as one of the heads of Wu City in Dongyu, the seven sons of the Lan family exposed such a scandal! If the Lan family did not deal with it, how could the Wu City Business Alliance take a justice position in the future? Therefore, no matter whether the head of the Lan family is willing or not, he must take action!"
Huang Guting nodded and signaled Zhao Cheng to continue.
Zhao Cheng then sighed: "The seven sons of the Lan family are also romantic, and they are romantic and generous, so they show mercy everywhere. I don't know how many young girls are obsessed with him. So after his death, no one knows how many romantic things he has outside! And I don't know how many children there are outside. Therefore, the little girl Huanxi is obviously from an ordinary background, but she has the bloodline of the Lan family, so I'm afraid that there is only one here!"
After hearing this, Huang Guting nodded slightly. It was very likely that Zhao Cheng said. Five years ago, Huanxi was just born, and her mother did not say her father's name until her death. I guess she knew that he was dead! Without his support, Huanxi and his daughter could only wander around and be alone and helpless.
Huang Guting glanced at Xiao Huanxi with a very innocent heart. Although he was only six years old, he was probably an orphan whose parents died!
"So! I forgive Zhao for saying frankly that since the little girl Huanxi is indeed from the Lan family, I would like to ask the young master to agree to send Huanxi back to the Lan family and recognize her ancestors!"
