Chapter 2324 - 2324 2314 Qing Li is Very Angry

2324: Chapter 2314: Qing Li is Very Angry 2324: Chapter 2314: Qing Li is Very Angry In the street, hawkers were shouting their wares.

It happened to be the morning, and the streets were filled with the cries of small traders and peddlers.

Yin Yue was looking around left and right, her face alight with excitement, but this was taxing for Long Yan.

In a short time, Long Yan found himself laden with paper bags.

Of course, Long Yan thought about speeding up their progress, but due to Yin Yue, his idea of a quick visit was nipped in the bud.

“What’s the hurry?”

That’s what Yin Yue said, and currently she bore no resemblance to the majestic Senior Sister, but rather looked like a young girl who hadn’t seen much of the world.

Long Yan, forced to follow behind Yin Yue, wore an expression of utter despondency on his face.

It seems that the skill of women shopping has remained unchanged from ancient times to the present—irrespective of one’s cultivation base, as long as it’s a woman, there is an innate shopping prowess, something that Long Yan could only admire from afar.

“Here, try this.”

Yin Yue walked up to Long Yan, handed him a skewer of sugar-coated hawthorn, and nonchalantly bit into it, savoring the tartness blossoming in the air, mingled with the sweet threads of sugar.

A blush suddenly crossed Yin Yue’s face as if she thought of something, and she nibbled at the spot where Long Yan had just bitten.

She wondered, if she ate from here, would it count as an indirect kiss?

Long Yan, on the other hand, felt nothing about this matter and kept walking forward, paying no attention to Mingyue, who was still nibbling on the sugar-coated hawthorn by his side.

Qing Li, however, was struggling to watch this from behind.

Anger almost burst from her beautiful eyes, and she angrily crushed the teacup in her hand, drawing strange looks from the diners at the next table.

Of course, she didn’t seem to be aware of her own behavior, but now Qing Li just stared intently at Yin Yue standing next to Long Yan.

Previously, when Long Yan and the others had entered the Mingyue Sect, Qing Li had refrained from following them in, considering her own status.

As a result, when Long Yan came out, he found himself with a tag-along.

Of course, when the two of them left the city, Qing Li had been following behind all along.

She wanted to understand the relationship between this woman and Qing Li, but right now Long Yan was laden with things and couldn’t spare the attention for Qing Li behind him.

Indeed, ever since arriving in Moon City, Long Yan had been aware of the woman following him, even though he wasn’t the kind of cultivator to be listed on the Fengyun List or have fanatical fans.

Certainly, Long Yan didn’t sense any malice from the woman behind him, so he let it be, but he didn’t expect that since leaving Mingyue Sect, she had persisted in following him.

Upon leaving the city gate, the two set their sights straight for their destination, Wounded City.

Too many unexpected events had arisen along the way, so Long Yan chose to fly directly to Wounded City.

Wounded City, in the history of the Qin Dynasty, had a notoriously somber reputation.

Originally, the name “Wounded” described the city’s melancholic atmosphere, but because “wounded” is homophonous with “trade” in Chinese, it gradually became what it is now—a place where all Commercial Associations choose to handle their affairs.

Wounded City is no longer a place of sorrow but has transformed into a bustling city, now also known as Commercial City.

Commercial City is just ahead, and Long Yan felt a bit of relief in his heart.

Beside him, Yin Yue was pouting, clearly unhappy, as she had not yet had her fill of fun but Long Yan, citing other matters, forcefully whisked her into the sky.

Of course, Yin Yue’s compliance did not come without a reward.

The compensation was that after sorting out the matters, Long Yan was to accompany Yin Yue for a proper tour around Commercial City.

But now, Long Yan’s path was blocked by someone else.

Looking at the travel-worn Niu Shan in front of him, Long Yan’s face revealed a wry smile—should he admire Niu Shan’s perseverance?

Who would have expected that he’d follow all the way here?

Long Yan found it somewhat amusing.

“How did you end up following behind me?”

Niu Shan looked at Long Yan with a puzzled face, and of course, this time he didn’t place his Long Knife on the ground.

His eyes, as big as copper bells, stared intently at the Long Yan in front of him, fearing that he would escape just like last time.

Ever since Long Yan had gotten away from him, Niu Shan had been following Long Yan’s tracks, hoping to collect the toll Long Yan was originally supposed to pay, but he hadn’t caught a glimpse of Long Yan the entire journey.

And because Long Yan had gone in the exact opposite direction to join the Mingyue Sect, the two of them had missed each other perfectly.

So much so that Niu Shan ended up getting ahead of Long Yan.

However, having spent all his remaining money along the way, Niu Shan simply went back to his old trade and became a bandit once again.

“Who is this big dumb guy?”

Yin Yue popped her head out from behind Long Yan and asked.

“Just think of him as an idiot.”

“Oh.”

Yin Yue nodded her little head, seemingly semi-understanding.

Although Niu Shan was straightforward thinking, he wasn’t deaf to Long Yan’s words.

Hearing Long Yan calling him an idiot, Niu Shan immediately drew his sword and charged at Long Yan, howling loudly as he came over.

“Go.”

Long Yan gently pushed Yin Yue aside, and the Lu Xian Sword appeared in his hand, meeting Niu Shan’s strike head-on.

Long Yan originally thought he would easily withstand the strike, but the result was not as he had envisioned: Niu Shan’s blow caused a painful sensation to shoot through Long Yan’s palms.

“Tch, Kid, you actually managed to block my strike.

Not bad at all.”

As for who was most shocked, it was Niu Shan.

He was considered the unrivaled strongest in his village, and yet Long Yan had so easily blocked his strike.

Long Yan slightly furrowed his eyebrows.

Normally speaking, the physical strength of Niu Shan in front of him had already reached the Mid-stage Divine Emperor first stage, but he didn’t know how to use this Power, only relying on his instincts to fight.

However, there was a bit of the essence of martial arts in his knife skills, which made Long Yan, who had originally been dismissive, feel a bit more weight on his heart.

“Heh!”

On the next strike, Niu Shan seemed to muster all his strength, it was mighty as if he was about to split Long Yan in half.

Instead of meeting it head-on, Long Yan sidestepped, and just as the Big Knife approached, he thrust the Lu Xian Sword in his hand forward.

The thrust hit a weaker spot on Niu Shan’s Big Knife, suddenly causing Niu Shan to feel a lack of force in his arms, and the Big Knife skewed off-course and struck the ground, creating a pit.

The whole ground shook slightly twice.

To the uninformed, it might even seem like an earthquake.

Yin Yue hadn’t expected such daunting strength from this big fool in front of her, which was quite unexpected.

“Long Yan, are you alright?”

Hearing Yin Yue’s concerned shout, Long Yan just subtly shook his head.

This big fellow in front of him was a bit strange, and Long Yan had to focus all his attention on Niu Shan.

Gasping for breath, Niu Shan picked up the Big Knife from the ground once again, and swung it towards Long Yan.

But this time, Long Yan was already prepared.

One foot kicked Niu Shan in the chest, while the other stepped on the knife’s spine, and his whole body soared high into the air.
