There’s No Way My Dad Is A Legendary Cultivator - Chapter 165
Chapter 165 Yellow Clouds City Was Attacked
Jiang Ping smiled knowingly. “I’ve thought of this long ago.”
Then, he took out three bracelets from his storage space.
These were the signing rewards that he received from the system last night.
That was why the system was really hard to figure out.
Usually, it was just spirit stones. Once it gave something strange, it was a sign that something was going to happen.
Jiang Ping handed the three bracelets to the three little girls.
“These three bracelets are a storage space that can hold living things.”
“Wear them on your hands and use your spiritual energy to activate them. Then, you can use the storage space freely.”
After saying that, Jiang Ping said to the three auspicious beasts.
“In the future, when you are outside, you can only stay in the storage space.”
The three little beasts nodded slightly. Their expression was firm. As if they were saying that they would not feel aggrieved.
After the three little girls put on the bracelets, they used their spiritual energy to activate them.
With a thought, they put the three little auspicious beasts into the storage space.
Then with a thought, the three little auspicious beasts turned into a stream of light and came out of the storage space.
The three of them thought it was very magical and called it fun.
Then, they tried to put other things into the storage space.
They were never tired of it.
Jiang Ping smiled when he saw the little girls’ playful behavior.
In Longyan Town, in a particular inn.
The old Taoist priest entered the room with a pot of wine in his hand.
Then, he woke up his disciple.
He Xiangjiang sat up in a daze. Then, he asked.
“Are we leaving?”
The old Taoist priest nodded.
“Hurry up, or we won’t reach the next stop even if it’s dark.”
He Xiangjiang quickly got up and packed his
things.
He saw that the clothes he had changed out of in the morning were neatly placed on the table.
He Xiangjiang picked up the folded clothes.
He asked.
“Master, you washed these clothes for me?”
The old Taoist priest smiled.
“Did you think that your little lover washed them for you?”
He Xiangjiang was puzzled.
“Lover? What lover!”
Seeing that he had spilled the beans, the old Taoist priest hurriedly laughed.
“It’s nothing. I was just talking nonsense.”
“Hurry up and pack up. We’ll take the official road. Hurry up.”
He Xiangjiang smiled and thanked his master.
Then, he packed his clothes and headed to the next stop.
By the time Jiang Ping and the others reached the next stop, it was already dark.
When they reached the city gate, Wan’er stuck her head out of the window.
She pointed at the signboard on the city gate and read.
“Yellow, and what city!”
Jiang Ping replied unhappily.
“Yellow Clouds City. I’ll let you read more books.”
The little girl interrupted with a chuckle.
“Daddy, are we staying here tonight?”
Jiang Ping nodded. Then, just as the carriage was about to enter the city.
A few guards blocked the way. The guards who blocked the way were also polite.
They went forward and cupped their hands.
“Everyone, because the city was attacked by an unknown cultivator a few days ago, we have to carefully inspect the people who are not from Yellow Clouds City. No offense.”
Jiang Ping opened the curtain of the carriage.
“It’s okay. Brother, if you need our cooperation, just say it.”
“We will cooperate.”
The guard who led the conversation cupped his fists at Jiang Ping again.
After the inspection, Jiang Ping returned to the carriage.
Li Sushang said uneasily.
“There won’t be any more problems, right?”
Jiang Ping shook his head.
“I don’t know, but we will stay for one night and leave tomorrow morning. We won’t cause any trouble.”
Li Sushang nodded.
Jiang Ping found an inn where they could stay.
He also asked the waiter for some information.
“What happened in this city? Why are the guards at the gate so strict?”
The waiter was busy with miscellaneous work at that time.
Therefore, he didn’t pay attention to Jiang Ping.
Seeing this, Jiang Ping tactfully took out a piece of broken silver from his pouch.
The waiter, who was greedy for money, immediately told the truth.
It was said that a few days ago, an unknown cultivator attacked the eastern district of Yellow Clouds City at night.
All the forces in the city didn’t react in time. When it passed, only ruins were left.
Jiang Ping asked the waiter if he knew the truth about the attack.
The waiter shrugged.
He said that he only knew these. If he wanted to know more, he could ask the mayor, but the mayor had to agree.
Of course, he would not ask the mayor. After all, he was only passing by for one night. He did not care about what the place would become.
Jiang Ping smiled and thanked the waiter. Then, he led everyone to the second floor to choose a room.
After choosing a room, Lei Jingyun knocked on Jiang Ping’s door.
He asked if Jiang Ping needed him to go to the mayor’s mansion to ask around.
Jiang Ping didn’t agree and said it was better not to cause trouble.
Then he told Lei Jingyun to look after the little girls tonight and make sure they didn’t go out and run around.
Lei Jingyun said okay and left.
Lei Jingyun came to the three little girls’ rooms.
He saw that the three little girls had just put the three auspicious beasts back into their bracelets and then wanted to go out and play.
Lei Jingyun hurriedly stopped them.
He also passed on Jiang Ping’s words to the three little girls.
Yellow Clouds City was more than twice the size of Fusheng City. It was the first time the three little girls had seen such a big city.
They definitely had to have a good time, so the three little girls sat around the table with sad faces and didn’t say a word.
After Jiang Ping’s family had dinner, they went back to their rooms early to sleep.
However, He Xiangjiang and his master arrived at the city gate at this time.
It was late at night, and because of the attack on Yellow Clouds City.
The city gate had been closed long ago.
The master and disciple looked at the city gate and exchanged glances.
“Master, what should we do?”
The old Taoist priest said in a bad mood.
“It’s all because of you. You didn’t come back at night and had to sleep in broad daylight.”
He Xiangjiang didn’t refute and admitted that he was in the wrong.
“Then who would have thought that this city gate would be closed so early?”
“What’s wrong with Yellow Clouds City? According to the regular opening and closing time of the city gate, it will close between 1 am and 3 am, but it will always open between 5 am to 7 am!”
The old Taoist priest looked at the city gate and said.
“There’s nothing we can do. Tonight, the two of us can only spend the night outside the city
gate.”
He Xiangjiang had no other choice but to agree.
Then, the master and disciple found a relatively clean place at the foot of the city wall and sat down against the city wall.
The people in Yellow Clouds City fell asleep one after another.
Only the mayor’s mansion was brightly lit.
A middle-aged man sat at the main seat in the mayor’s mansion.
The middle-aged man was tall and wore a scholarly robe. He looked very much like a teacher in a school.
In the hall, other than the middle-aged man, there were also representatives of the major forces in Yellow Clouds City.
The middle-aged man frowned and shouted in the hall.
“I don’t care what disputes you have.”
“This matter concerns the survival of Yellow Clouds City. If you are not willing to lower yourselves and work together.”
“Then the forces that you have worked hard to cultivate and maintain will be destroyed together with Yellow Clouds City!”
These words were clearly aimed at the leaders of Yellow Clouds City.
These gang representatives, who usually flaunted their might, did not say a word at this moment.
This was because ever since the eastern district of Yellow Clouds City had been attacked, the culprit had not been found.
A large part of the reason was that most of these factions did not like each other.
Usually, they fought tooth and nail for some benefits.
They simply cannot put aside their dissatisfaction with each other to cooperate, so they delay the progress…
