The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 084

Chapter 084 Passing By Dongyuan
The departure of Li Qing and Liu Ke’er exceeded everyone’s expectations. They didn’t expect the two of them to leave at all. Furthermore, they walked so quietly and decisively that they were not discovered until a day later.

Many people were still thinking about how to squeeze spirit stones from Li Qing to obtain benefits. They didn’t expect that before their plan could be implemented, they would disappear.

“Could it be that they knew what we were thinking, so they quickly ran away?” Someone muttered to himself.

It was too late to regret it now. He had already left for a day, so he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up.

According to the letter, they wanted to rush back to the Eight Desolate Mountains to participate in the Spring Fruit Festival, so they could not stay for long. The reason why they didn’t say goodbye was because they didn’t want to be too sad when they left their loved ones.

“Is that really the only reason?” Father Liu sighed and looked into the distance.

“It’s all your fault for forcing the two children away!” Mother Liu complained.

…

The journey was smooth. About ten days later, Li Qing and Liu Ke’er entered the Dongyuan Prefecture.

Without the restraints of the secular world, the two of them were obviously much more relaxed and in a good mood. It was still early, and the Vinca Fruit Society did not begin so quickly. It would take them about half a year, so their journey was not urgent, and they walked slowly.

During this period of time, when they encountered a city on the way, they would go in to take a look, stroll the streets, and buy all sorts of novel things.

Occasionally, when they encountered famous mountains and rivers, they would go on a tour to experience the magnificence of the mountains and rivers.

The two of them were like on vacation, inseparable from each other, like glue on their knees, and they were extremely close.

Seeing that they were about to enter the Dongyuan Prefecture, Li Qing couldn’t help but laugh, “In Dongyuan Prefecture, you can’t leave randomly. Be careful so as not to be discovered by the Wang Clan in Dongchang City. I wonder if the Wang Clan is still chasing us after us after so many days.”

“It shouldn’t be possible to chase after him anymore, right? However, we really need to be careful.” Liu Ke’er nodded.

“Old rules, put on the veil! It won’t be far from Dongyuan City. Let’s go into the city and stay the night.” Li Qing said.

“Alright.” Only then did Liu Ke’er put on her veil reluctantly, covering her beautiful face.

There were three major cities in Dongyuan Prefecture: Dongchang City, Dongming City, and Dongyuan City. In the past, they had once entered Dongchang City and caused a lot of trouble. After killing the Wang Clan’s successor, they naturally did not dare to enter that city again.

However, there was no problem entering Dongyuan City, because the Wang Clan could not have any influence there.

The three great powers were fighting endlessly against each other. They had long been enemies, so there was no need to worry that Dongyuan City would hunt them down. Speaking of which, Li Qing killed Wang Jinghao and 30 Golden Scaled Guards, weakening Dongchang City’s strength. Dongyuan City should be even more grateful to them.

…

Half a day later, the two of them entered Dongyuan City. This city looked very ancient and had a long history. It could be considered the oldest and most orthodox county city in this county.

They wandered about the city for a while, bought some things, and then found an inn to stay in.

Not long after, they heard someone knocking on the door.

Li Qing opened the door and saw a few martial artists wearing standard clothes standing outside. He could not help but ask, “May I ask who you are? Is there anything wrong?”

A martial artist leading the way smiled and said, “I am a guard of the Jiang Clan. I came here specifically to find you. Our Young Master wants to see you all.”

“Jiang Clan? Your Young Master?” Li Qing was a little puzzled and asked, “But I don’t know your young master.”

“My Young Master’s name is Jiang Fan. He is the future successor of the Jiang Clan. Have you ever heard of him?” The man explained.

Li Qing shook his head, expressing his ignorance.

The other party was a little surprised. He had never thought that Li Qing had never heard of such a famous person. Could it be that he came from another place?

In fact, these guards didn’t know Li Qing’s identity at all. It was just that Jiang Fan had instructed them to meet him and obey his orders.

The guard said, “The Jiang Clan is the largest clan in Dongyuan City, the de facto ruler. My Young Master, as the future successor, is actually considered the Young City Lord.”

Li Qing instantly understood that he was someone with the same status as Wang Jinghao. However, they had never known each other, so why did this person want to see him?

He said, “I don’t know your young master. Why should I see him? What if you want to harm me?”

The other party shook his head and said, “Young Master Jiang, what kind of status do you have? Don’t worry too much. He also expected you to be unwilling this time, so he asked me to bring you a message saying that he admired what you did in Dongchang City a while ago. Therefore, he wants to see you and make a deal. Therefore, please make a trip.”

Young Master Jiang’s words seemed to indicate something else. This aroused Li Qing’s curiosity.

He couldn’t help but wonder, “Could it be that Jiang Fan knew that I killed Wang Jinghao? How did he recognize me? Could it be that this person is so well-informed? Why don’t we go and see him?”

So he nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll follow you. Lead the way.”

The guard said happily, “Great, please follow me!”

Liu Ke’er also walked out and followed Li Qing. The two of them were inseparable, so they naturally wouldn’t separate.

…

The meeting place was in the Jiang Clan’s mansion.

Li Qing and Liu Ke’er were taken to a small pavilion. Inside, there was an ordinary looking young man with deep eyes, quietly sitting on a stone stool.

There was a pot of wine and a few dishes on the table in front of him.

This person saw Li Qing and Liu Ke’er and immediately stood up. He cupped his hands and said, “Jiang Fan greets the two of you. Please take a seat.” His body carried a calm, peaceful, and wise aura, causing people to have a good impression when they saw him.

It was certain that this person was very different from Wang Jinghao. He was not a hypocrite, but a person who did great things.

Li Qing and Liu Ke’er walked into the pavilion and sat down separately.

Jiang Fan raised his glass and said, “Here, let me propose a toast to both of you.”

The two of them picked up their wine glasses, lightly touched them, and drank them all in one gulp.

They weren’t afraid of poison, so they weren’t worried that Jiang Fan would poison the wine.

When Jiang Fan saw that the two of them were so straightforward and didn’t worry about anything, a trace of admiration flashed through his eyes.

He put down his glass and said, “You should all know who I am. I don’t know your names yet.”

“Li Qing!”

“Liu Ke’er!”

Jiang Fan nodded and said, “The two of you must be very surprised why I invited each other, right?”

“Indeed. We should never know each other, right?” Li Qing said.

“Of course, this is because of what you did in Dongchang City.”

“Oh? How did you know what we did in Dongchang City? And how did you recognize us?” Li Qing couldn’t help but ask. He didn’t say what they had done. Instead, he waited for Jiang Fan’s reply to see if he really knew so clearly.

“Haha, you two don’t know how big of a sensation you caused by killing Wang Jinghao. The Wang Family is going crazy! It’s hard for me to hunt you down everywhere.” Jiang Fan smiled heartily.

Li Qing nodded. It seemed that this person had indeed come looking for him because of this matter, and he was certain that he was correct.

Jiang Fan continued, “As for how I recognized you, it is also easy. We have spies in Dongchang City and have investigated this matter thoroughly. Your appearances are already familiar to me. As soon as you entered the city today, you were discovered by the people of our Jiang Clan. Tell me about it and invite you over.”

Li Qing asked, “It seems that we have nothing to do with Dongyuan City when we kill Wang Jinghao. I wonder what you intend to do by inviting us over?”

“Actually, I’m mainly worried. Could it be that you want to do something when you enter Dongyuan City?”

Li Qing couldn’t help but laugh. He understood what Jiang Fan meant. Obviously, he was worried that he would cause trouble.

It turned out that he had become a dangerous person and needed to be paid attention to.

“We’re just passing by,” he explained. “We’re leaving tomorrow.”

“That’s good.” Jiang Fan heaved a sigh of relief and casually asked, “May I ask where Brother Li came from?”

“Eight Desolate Sect.”

“Eight Desolate Sect? Where is this place?” Jiang Fan was somewhat puzzled and thought carefully for a moment.

“Our sect is in the depths of the Lianyun Mountain Range, and its reputation in the world is not obvious.” Li Qing introduced.

Hearing this, Jiang Fan seemed to remember something. His expression couldn’t help but change as he said, “Could it be that sect?”

“Have you heard of it?”

“I’ve heard about it. I don’t know much about it. I can’t even remember without you saying it. I heard that this is an extremely ancient sect. It lives in seclusion in the mountains all year round. Occasionally, there will be disciples who enter the world to train.”

“This should be what you said.” Li Qing nodded.

“So that’s how it is. It really has an extraordinary background. No wonder it was able to kill 30 Golden Scaled Guards. It’s really good.” Jiang Fan sighed, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “Brother Li Qing, as you can see, Dongyuan Prefecture has been in chaos all year round. The various major powers have been fighting endlessly, and the people are in a sorry state.”

“Yes, it’s too chaotic.”

“I believe Brother Li is also a righteous man. Why don’t you stay and help me unify Dongyuan Prefecture?” Jiang Fan said what he thought in his heart. He actually wanted to recruit Li Qing.

Li Qing was stunned for a moment. He shook his head and said, “I didn’t come out this time to train in the mountains. I have something to return to Yunzhou City. Now that the matter is settled, I have to hurry back to the sect.”

“Ah? Is that so?” Jiang Fan was a little disappointed and said, “Since that’s the case, then I won’t force myself. However, I would like to ask again, did you kill those 30 Golden Scaled Guards? Do you still have the Profound Gold Heavy Armor they wore?”

“That’s right.”

“The Mysterious Gold Heavy Armor is of great use to Dongyuan City. It is a weapon of war, but it is useless to you. If you don’t mind, why don’t you sell it to Dongyuan City? We guarantee that we will give you a satisfactory price.”

“So you want to buy the Profound Gold Heavy Armor?” Li Qing nodded and said, “That’s not a problem. However, these armors have been cut down by me. I’m afraid they can’t be used directly.”

“It doesn’t matter. We can use it again. The important thing is that the materials are rare. Of course, we will only pay according to the price of the materials, not the price of the finished armor.”

“Sure, no problem.” Li Qing was a little happy in his heart, but after thinking for a moment, he said, “However, to me, spirit stones are not the most important. Can you exchange them for something I need?”
