Chapter 545: Cloud City
But he couldn't envy this kind of thing.
Who told Xue Wanyun to be the daughter of Muyu!
"Counting the days, the marriage ceremony will only start in about ten days! How about we wait for the change of route and complete your task of investigating the Liuyun Sect's extermination first?" Xue Wanyun suddenly rushed to Duan Qing on a whim. suggested.
When the two set out, there was only one month left before the wedding ceremony of the son of the head of Tianyun Sect.
Considering that time was tight, Shendao Sect was far away from Yunzhou, and Duan Qing was only at the early stage of his cultivation, so she had to take care of his flying speed.
Therefore, Xue Wanyun originally planned to go to Tianyun Sect to deliver gifts during this trip to Yunzhou, and then investigate the truth behind Liuyun Sect's destruction.
But she didn't expect that Duan Qing's flying speed was so fast that she was not at all inferior to her. She originally thought it would take more than twenty days to fly, but it only took her twenty days to arrive ahead of schedule.
That's why I proposed to change the route to Liuyun Sect first, and then come back to send congratulatory gifts after investigating the matter of Liuyun Sect's annihilation.
Duan Qing pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said: "Forget it, what Master has told us is the most important thing, and Junior Brother's task is not urgent."
The mission we took on this time was a full three months long due to the long distance.
Unlike the last mission to kill Liu Yuanji, it only lasted for one month.
Therefore, even if we spend another ten days at Tianyun Gate, it will not be a problem at all.
Perhaps it was precisely because this task was more time-consuming that the contribution was more than the last Xuan-level task he took on.
Xue Wanyun smiled sweetly. "Okay, then I'll go to Tianyun Sect first, and then go to Liuyun Sect after the marriage ceremony!"
"That's great!" Duan Qing glanced at Xue Wanyun and said warmly.
After saying that, his eyes fell on the stretching mountains in front of him, with a faint expectation.
Before becoming a disciple of Muyu, Duan Qing had to be careful because of Suzaku's change of martial arts, for fear that his martial arts would be exposed.
Therefore, during those days, he was extremely afraid of getting into trouble and did not like to join in the fun, lest he get into trouble and cause complications.
Now that he is an upright Shinto disciple and a member of the Shinto Sect's law enforcement elders, he no longer has to worry about his skills being exposed, and his mentality has changed accordingly.
This time, he accompanied Xue Wanyun to come to Tianyun Sect to send congratulatory gifts. Not only did he not find it troublesome, but he thought it was a good opportunity to learn more.
Not long after, the two of them landed in front of a small city in the Tianyun Mountains.
"The mountain gate of Tianyun Sect is on Tianyun Mountain in front of Yunxia City. We will stay in the city for a while and then go to Tianyun Sect before the wedding ceremony begins." Xue Wanyun suggested.
"It all depends on senior sister's arrangements." Duan Qing nodded in agreement.
Unlike the sects in the Xiaonan Realm who are far away from the secular world, the sects in the Middle Earth that have some influence will almost always set up a mortal city near the mountain gate.
For example, the Xianding City near the Xianding Sect in Dingzhou and the Yunxia City in front of them are both such mortal cities.
Even under the Qingxu Mountain of the Shinto Sect, there are many mortal cities.
Most of the sects in the Middle Earth are located in various cave heavens and blessed places, and are not very inhabited.
Moreover, most of the distances between various sects are very far, often tens of thousands of miles apart.
For monks, this distance may be nothing, but for mortals, it is like a chasm. If you want to join the Immortal Sect, it is really far away and unreachable.
The continuation of a sect cannot be separated from the supply of fresh blood.
This situation is unfavorable for both mortals who want to step into the immortal world, and for many sects that need to constantly replenish new strength.
Therefore, this type of city will develop.
Although when a sect such as the Shinto Sect accepts disciples, they usually send people to major cities within their sphere of influence to screen them first.
But a building near water is always more convenient for both parties.
Because the marriage ceremony of the son of the head of the Tianyun Sect was approaching, Yunxia City was very busy at this time, and monks could be seen coming in and out with swords from time to time.
Walking in Yunxia City, Duan Qing asked Xue Wanyun casually: "Senior Sister Xue, the son of the head of Tianyun Sect is so respected, do you know who his Taoist companion is?"
Xue Wanyun shook her head gently. "I have never even seen what Qingyunzi's son looks like, how can I know his identity as a Taoist companion!"
Tingxue Wanyun didn't know, so Duan Qing stopped asking. Anyway, he just asked casually, and he wasn't really very curious.
Xue Wanyun glanced at Duan Qing beside her and felt a strange feeling in her heart.
Walking on the street with Duan Qing like this, she felt as if she had gone back to the time when Duan Qing accompanied her to Xiaonanjie.
Thinking of the ridiculous scene when she asked Duan Qing to promise her three things for the sake of Qinjiu stored in Duan Qing's family, Xue Wanyun couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Hearing Xue Wanyun laugh, Duan Qing turned his head and looked at Xue Wanyun doubtfully.
"What's wrong with Senior Sister Xue?" Duan Qing asked confused.
Xue Wanyun rolled her eyes at Duan Qing and forced to hold back her smile. "nothing!"
Duan Qing was confused, but Xue Wanyun didn't say anything, so he couldn't ask more questions.
The two walked around the city for a while and found an inn.
Seeing the inn in front of him, Xue Wanyun suddenly became interested and said to Duan Qing: "Xiao Qingzi, how about staying at this inn?"
Little... Qingzi!
Duan Qing looked at Xue Wanyun in surprise, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
The name Xiao Qingzi was only used by those closest to him such as his parents and Uncle Wang.
Back then, when traveling with Xue Wanyun in Xiaonanjie, Xue Wanyun also called him this.
It's just that Xue Wanyun called him Xiao Qingzi at that time, which was mostly a joke.
After so long, he almost forgot about it.
Now that Xue Wanyun called him like that again, he felt quite sad.
At the same time, he also felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Coming back to his senses, Duan Qing looked at Xue Wanyun strangely and smiled: "Then stay here!"
After that, Duan Qing walked into the inn first.
Entering the inn, Duan Qing said warmly to a fat boy who looked like Xiao Si: "Little Second Brother, is there any vacant room?"
Xiao Si had just put the dishes in his hand in front of a table of guests when he heard Duan Qing's voice and looked at the sound.
When he saw Xue Wanyun behind Duan Qing, Xiao Si couldn't help but stand there, his eyes wide open, and the tray in his hand fell to the ground.
Bang!
The sound of the tray falling to the ground woke him up. Xiao Si came back to his senses, and didn't bother to pick up the wooden tray on the ground. He quickly wiped his greasy fat hands with his waist knee pad, then twisted his fat body and trotted to Duan Qing and Xue Wanyun.
"What do you want, gentlemen?" asked the fat Xiao Si with a smile on his face, as if he had completely forgotten what Duan Qing had just asked.
While he was talking, his eyes never left Xue Wanyun.
Duan Qing felt helpless. Xue Wanyun was always the focus of attention wherever she went.
"Does your store have any vacant rooms?" Duan Qing asked again.
"Ah! Vacant rooms, I'm really sorry, gentlemen, our store is full and there are no vacancies!" Fat Xiao Si withdrew his eyes from Xue Wanyun, and said with regret and disappointment.
Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be more disappointed than Duan Qing and the others that there were no vacant rooms.
Duan Qing frowned slightly, said nothing more, turned around and walked out of the inn.
Xue Wanyun had some disappointment in her eyes, and she also walked away with Duan Qing.
This encounter was really disappointing!
"Slow down, gentlemen!" Fat Xiao Si stared at Xue Wanyun's graceful back and said with regret.
"Wait!"
As soon as Xiao Si finished speaking, a voice sounded behind him.
