Chapter 446 Tianhuang City, the Liu Family
"Alright, it's time to catch up with old friends after so long."
Lin Fan made up his mind. Since there was still a long time before the alchemy competition started, he might as well take a break and relax!
"My husband, I... I should go back now."
At this moment, Nalan Yanran bit her lip and stepped forward, reluctant to speak.
"Go back? So soon!?"
Lin Fan had finally managed to meet this girl in Zhongzhou, and he didn't want to part ways so soon!
Moreover, without Nalan Yanran, he and the Han Yue and Han Xue sisters can only play Dou Dizhu (a card game), but it's more fun to play mahjong with four people!
"I snuck out without Yun'er's knowledge this time, she'll worry if I stay too long..."
If we were to say who Nalan Yanran had the best relationship with in the harem, it would undoubtedly be Yun Yun. Although their relationship changed from master and disciple to sisters after becoming Lin Fan's wife, their original emotional foundation remained.
"Okay, then I'll take you back!"
Lin Fan took a deep breath, suppressing the reluctance in his heart.
"Husband, aren't you going to the Flower Sect to see Sister Yun'er?"
Nalan Yanran looked on with anticipation. She could see how much Yun Yun missed Lin Fan, and it would be a wonderful surprise if the two of them could go back together!
"No, Yun'er has her own destiny, so it's best if I don't show up for now."
"I will go to Flower Sect to find you after I finish dealing with what I have to do."
Lin Fan reached out and gently stroked Nalan Yanran's soft, long hair, a gentle smile on his face.
He knew that Yun Yun would have a great opportunity in the Flower Sect, and Lin Fan didn't want anything to change because of him.
And so, Lin Fan and his group first escorted Nalan Yanran to the entrance of the spatial wormhole that led directly to the Flower Sect, where the two bid each other a reluctant farewell.
Tianhuang City is located on the edge of the Central Region of Zhongzhou, but its prosperity is far beyond that of places like the Black Corner Region and the Jia Ma Empire!
The towering city walls, magnificent buildings, and wide streets bustling with people create a lively and prosperous atmosphere!
"It's just ahead!"
Lin Yan, familiar with the route, led Lin Fan, Han Yue, and Han Xue at high speed through the air. A moment later, a magnificent manor came into view, with the two gilded characters "Liu Family" shining brightly on the plaque!
However, the group soon noticed something unusual: in broad daylight, the Liu family manor was surrounded by layers upon layers of guards, all with solemn expressions!
"Elder Qin, what's going on?! Where's Liu Qing?"
Lin Yan hurriedly stepped forward to an old man guarding the entrance and asked.
"Lin Yan?!"
It was obvious that Lin Yan was a regular here; the old man recognized him at a glance and then sighed helplessly.
"The clan leader is in the square of Tianhuang City. He has had some conflicts with the Cheng family over the handover of the management rights of the space wormhole."
Old Qin began to explain.
"What's going on? Wasn't the Liu family supposed to be in charge of the space wormholes this year?!"
Lin Yan looked puzzled.
"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics. If you want to know, go ask the clan chief."
Lin Yan and Lin Fan exchanged a glance and then rushed towards the plaza. In the central plaza of Tianhuang City, there was a huge stone platform, on which was a pitch-black spatial wormhole entrance, slowly rotating like a vortex and releasing astonishing spatial power.
"Cheng Yao, this year's space wormhole is supposed to be managed by our Liu family. What do you mean by this?"
Leading the group on the left was a tall, robust young man with a strong, towering physique. His features were resolute, and he exuded an imposing aura. He was none other than Liu Qing, who was known as the "Dominating Spear" at Canaan Academy!
With the passage of time, Liu Qing has shed his youthful impetuosity and gained more maturity and composure.
Behind Liu Qing were two figures with white beards and eyebrows, both possessing the aura of Dou Zong level. They appeared to be elders of the Liu family!
And beside him stood a graceful woman!
She was dressed in red, her body mature and voluptuous, her pretty face exuding a captivating charm!
The woman was none other than Liu Qing's cousin, Liu Fei!
"Heh, you Liu family members really have no manners, actually addressing your elders by their first names!"
Standing opposite the Liu family was naturally the Cheng family. Cheng Yao, the head of the Cheng family, had a smug smile on his face and felt extremely happy!
"Who manages the spatial wormhole is not up to you or me. It's just that your Liu family is useless!"
Cheng Yao's words were pointed, and Liu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, his face turning ashen. Then, he suddenly had a bad feeling and tentatively asked.
"You mean, this is Burning Flame Valley's decision?!"
Tianhuang City is under the jurisdiction of Fenyan Valley. Although the Liu and Cheng families are local powers, they are not capable of building a space wormhole. The true owner is Fenyan Valley, and the two families take turns managing and operating it as agents.
"Not bad!"
As soon as Liu Qing finished speaking, an old voice rang out from the distant sky, and an old man dressed in a fiery red robe with white hair and beard slowly descended onto the square.
"It's Elder Crimson Flame of Burning Flame Valley?!"
A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd that had been watching the spectacle!
"Elder Chi Huo, what exactly is going on?"
Facing this important figure, Liu Qing dared not be negligent. Although he was quite displeased, he still respectfully stepped forward, clasped his hands, and bowed.
"The Valley Master is currently gathering sixth-grade alchemists to help refine pills. The Cheng family has already found one. If your Liu family can find an alchemist with even higher skill, you will be able to obtain management rights over the spatial wormhole for three years!"
Elder Chi Huo spoke indifferently, saying that it didn't matter to their Burning Flame Valley which family controlled the space wormhole, since they all had to make regular offerings anyway.
However, it is extremely important for the Liu family and the Cheng family. Three years may not seem like a long time, but one family can use the advantage brought by the space wormhole to leave the other far behind!
"Elder Chi Huo, could you please grant us a few more days? The Liu family will definitely find a sixth-grade alchemist!"
Liu Qing's expression became extremely solemn. A sixth-grade alchemist is not something that can be found easily, but at the moment he had no other choice but to try his best to buy time!
"No, the Valley Master is about to refine the pills, and today is the deadline."
Elder Chi Huo decisively refused.
"Hehe, Master Zeng Xiu is the most skilled alchemist in Tianhuang City. Liu Qing, you might as well accept your fate!"
Seeing Liu Qing's increasingly grim expression, Cheng Yao laughed triumphantly not far away. Beside him was a middle-aged man wearing a purple alchemist's robe, with six bright silver stripes on his chest that were very conspicuous!
The Cheng family had already received news that Burning Flame Valley was looking for high-level alchemists, so they made preparations in advance. The Liu family can only blame their own stupidity!
"A mere sixth-grade alchemist, you'd better not embarrass yourself in public!"
Just then, a loud laugh rang out from the sky. Lin Yan and Lin Fan arrived side by side at top speed, but one of them had wings made of battle qi, while the other walked on air!
As for the two sisters, Han Yue and Han Xue, Lin Fan had already taken them into his Divine Might Space. Now he has developed a habit of hiding his beautiful wives when he goes to crowded places to avoid trouble!
