After the arrival of the White Tiger Marquis, he personally oversaw the official ship, bringing the entire Zuo Family from the East Pier of Wang’an City to shore, and they then proceeded to the Ministry of Justice.

However, Du Yunlai took his leave at the pier.

He had fulfilled his promise to Wo Meiniang, ensuring the Zuo Family’s safe arrival into the Capital City.

From then on, the affairs of the Zuo Family had nothing more to do with him.

Early on, Du Yunlai had arranged via token to meet several old friends in the Capital, having set a rendezvous in a tavern, eager to reunite and catch up on old times.

Sikong Xin also left at the entrance of the Ministry of Justice.

Her Sect was located in the north, known as the ‘Shenyin Sect’—a hidden minor sect.

The location of the Shenyin Sect’s gates was not far from Wang’an City, merely around two thousand li.

It was a small and impoverished sect, totaling less than three hundred people.

Its disciples either served as assassins for various assassin organizations or worked as bodyguards for noble families.

However, the cultivation technique inheritance of the ‘Shenyin Sect’ was quite complete, with two core Primordial Skills that could directly reach Third Grade.

Sikong Xin was eager to return to her sect to exchange for the secret medicine formula required for the promotion to Sixth Grade.

Chu Xisheng watched as Zuo Qingyun and the others were escorted into the Ministry of Justice’s prison before turning away to leave.

Ji Qianqian followed behind him, “Hall Master, where shall we go next?

If you wish to keep your appointment with the royal decree, we should find somewhere to settle first.”

As she spoke, she looked around curiously.

Ji Qianqian seemed like a country bumpkin entering the Capital for the first time, finding everything novel and exciting.

In fact, she was on the lookout for the figures of her own subordinates.

They should have already received news of her return to the Capital.

Ji Qianqian wanted to make arrangements against Chu Xisheng and delegate some tasks.

Chu Xisheng appeared thoughtful, recalling the look in the White Tiger Marquis’ eyes when he first saw Ji Qianqian.

That Divine Catcher seemed to have the expression of seeing an acquaintance, with a hint of surprise.

Also, just now, when Zuo Qingyun formally bid farewell, the White Tiger Marquis standing beside him also gave him a meaningful look.

The White Tiger Marquis said nothing, but Chu Xisheng had made up his mind.

He thought it would be best to exchange for several more ‘Near Ink Taint Divine Power Cards’—to be fully prepared.

While Chu Xisheng harbored the intention of completely tainting Ji Qianqian, his expression remained calm, and he walked forward without revealing anything, “Let’s head to an inn near the West City Pier outside of town.”

The West City Pier was located on the southwest side of Wang’an City, near the water gate.

Only upon their arrival did Chu Xisheng understand why Mad Blade Wang Ming had chosen the West Pier as the location for their duel.

There was a place similar to the South Street Temple Market of the Ancient Market.

Two streets lined with no less than one hundred and twenty arenas.

The strong martial spirit of Wang’an City was indeed astonishing; on each of the one hundred and twenty arenas, people were engaged in sparring and fights.

As Chu Xisheng passed by, he found no arenas free of action.

The area beneath these arenas was also crowded with spectators, martial artists.

Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but marvel, even pausing several times to watch the martial cultivators on the stages compete.

The level of martial arts in the Capital far exceeded that of East State.

Any one of the martial artists on these stages could become a top-level fighter in the Ancient Market.

Their techniques and level of martial arts dazzled Chu Xisheng.

Yet in the Capital, such characters were a dime a dozen.

And along this street, there were many high-grade martial practitioners.

It was like seeing Sixth Grade ones as common as dogs, Fifth Grade ones wandering everywhere.

At that moment, Chu Xisheng reflected on some memories of the body’s original owner.

Wang’an City indeed had an extremely prosperous martial spirit.

Sects of all sizes from all over the world established martial arts academies both inside and outside the city.

To attract disciples, these academies would send their best students to compete at the West City Pier.

Thus, the quality of the matches at the West City Pier was truly high.

In the end, Chu Xisheng chose a guesthouse by the pier overlooking the river to settle down.

Ji Qianqian was not surprised at all.

The environment of the guesthouse was incredibly poor.

The towering one hundred and twenty zhang city walls blocked out the sunlight from both sides of the walls.

For half of the day, the guesthouse would see no light and, due to its proximity to the river, with cold breezes constantly blowing in, the atmosphere was both damp and chilly.

However, it had one advantage—it was convenient for ‘fish farming’.

The Heluo Fish zombie owned by Chu Xisheng was hiding in the Canglang River at that moment:

Soon after Chu Xisheng settled in, his visitors started to trickle in.

The first to arrive was Wo Meiniang.

Chu Xisheng and Ji Qianqian had barely settled their luggage when Wo Meiniang arrived at the door, carrying a pot of ‘Thousand Gold Drunk’ wine worth a thousand taels of demon silver.

Chu Xisheng was secretly surprised.

He hadn’t expected Wo Meiniang to have such an extensive network in the Capital City.

But why hadn’t she appeared when Zuo Qingyun entered the city?

With the relationship between Zuo Qingyun and Wo Meiniang, shouldn’t she have rushed to meet him first?

Thinking this, Chu Xisheng asked the question.

Wo Meiniang sighed, her expression somewhat complicated, “I did want to welcome him, but how should I put this?

The personality of the White Tiger Marquis is somewhat domineering, and she genuinely likes Qingyun.

She takes issue with me, so it’s inconvenient to meet.”

Chu Xisheng immediately understood.

Women truly are prone to jealousy, even a person of status like the White Tiger Divine Catcher was not exempt.

This prominent White Tiger Marquis actually couldn’t tolerate a close female friend of Zuo Qingyun.

Chu Xisheng surmised that Zuo Qingyun’s future days might not be easy—

—This was the price of relying on a woman.

Chu Xisheng silently took heed, thinking that one should always be upright and eat ‘hard rice’.

Only by doing so, one would not be at the mercy of others.
