Free Web NovelActually, in the city, Xiao Li wasn't particularly fond of riding in carriages.
But it was well-known.
He and Ice Cube were not only famous now.
Throw a brick casually in the city, and you could hit several passersby who had read "the overbearing female emperor falls in love with me."
There was no possibility of only hearing their names but not seeing them.
The day the Qianlong Ranking was announced would probably be even livelier than the Martial Arts Summit, and being recognized would be troublesome.
The carriage moved lightly.
The wind from Yulong Street brought the clamor from outside, and also allowed the sunlight to spill into the carriage.
Li Mo looked up and saw Ying Bing sitting sideways with her long legs.
Suddenly, those Phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
Bang!
The boy with a large head slapped a mosquito on the table.
Ying Bing's delicate brows furrowed, and she casually picked up a rag to wipe the boy with a large head's forehead, making a squeaking sound as she wiped.
Only when it was shiny and gleaming did a hint of pleasure flash in her eyes.
Li Mo: "....."
Is this boy with a large head really unrelated to Gu arts or anything like that?
Why does his forehead feel so chilly?
Beside them, Xiao Jiang was also diligently wiping a broken sword she had picked up three days ago, her face full of seriousness.
"Aren't you going to sell it as scrap?"
Li Mo smiled and asked casually:
"If you're going to sell it, why bother wiping it so clean?"
"This... these... I'm not selling them. They're not... not scrap... Li Dage... bought them for me..."
Jiang Chulong shook her head, then blinked.
"And... they're still... still alive..."
"Hmm?"
Li Mo was startled.
He had indeed been receiving System feedback prompts these past few days.
It was Martial Arts Comprehension feedback from Xiao Jiang, for example: 【Congratulations, Host, you have successfully invested in 'Jiang Chulong,' helping her comprehend a sword technique and promoting the growth of a wild grass Sword Bone.】
So... that's how it came about?
From broken and incomplete swords, she comprehended sword techniques?
"...."
Li Mo slapped the Chixiao Sword.
You, a dignified Mystic Weapon, and still complete.
Why don't you try to bring us some honor?
Suddenly, Li Mo remembered:
"Oh, right, Ice Cube."
Ying Bing looked up: "Hmm?"
"When you were explaining the Dao these past few days, did you not encounter any difficulties?"
"For example?"
Li Mo asked: "Many Disciples from Sword City practice different sword techniques. What if they asked you about a sword technique you haven't encountered?"
"Under a Supreme martial art, what's the difference whether you've practiced a sword technique or not?"
"....."
Li Mo understood.
She meant to learn on the spot.
There was confusion in those beautiful Phoenix eyes, as if she was wondering why he would ask such a question, as if it read:
'Aren't you the same?'
Looking at the confusion on her serene jade-like face, and the bewilderment in the gray eyes on the other side, Xiao Li fell silent.
If the Chixiao Sword could speak now, it would definitely be pounding the table:
"Xiao Li, speak up!"
.....
Not long after.
The carriage slowly reached the end of Yulong Street, facing the shimmering Dragon Gate Lake.
Every major city at the provincial level would have a Dragon Gate in the city to announce the Qianlong Ranking.
Looking out, one could see the Dragon Gate standing on the lake, six or seven stories high, pure white in color, with intricately carved seal script, as if made of white marble.
Li Mo and his Senior Brothers from Qingyuan Sect got out of the carriage and chose an excellent viewing restaurant.
"Shopkeeper, there's no one here. It couldn't have been fully booked."
"My apologies, esteemed guest, a wealthy patron from the Eastern Wasteland Region has already booked the entire place..."
The Shopkeeper shook his head and cupped his hands, saying:
"We do business, and we value integrity the most."
Li Mo pondered for a moment.
"Does this restaurant of yours sell?"
There were still four gold mountains in the System space; originally five, one was used for investment three days ago.
There were even more silver notes.
As for rare treasures, he was too lazy to count them, and didn't know their individual values.
A box clattered to the ground.
"This restaurant ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) of mine is in an excellent location, every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, not to mention it cost three hundred thousand taels of silver just to build. Young Hero, I'm afraid this is..."
"This isn't silver."
"A box of gold? That's about the same..."
"Silver notes."
Clap—Clap—Clap—
The Shopkeeper and the waiter's knees went soft.
Why three claps?
Li Mo: ".....Senior Brother Ouyang, we are on the same side."
.....
The open-air banquet hall on the top floor.
Everyone took their seats. Li Mo had Ice Cube on his left and Xiao Jiang on his right, directly facing the Dragon Gate.
It was truly the VIP best viewing area.
"It's so lively."
Li Mo looked down at the vast crowd, like smoke.
"Naturally, the Qianlong Ranking is, after all, closer to ordinary people than the Heaven, Earth, and Human Rankings."
"The Qianlong Ranking is one of the most eye-catching rankings."
The Dragon Gate was reflected in Ying Bing's eyes.
In this life, she would ascend the Qianlong Ranking much earlier...
Li Mo took a sip of tea and placed an apple in Xiao Jiang's hand.
That makes sense.
There's no need to mention Eighth Realm powerhouses, who are like Dragons that show their head but not their tail.
Whether it's the Seventh Realm Controlling Mystery on the Heaven Ranking, or even the Fifth Realm Outer Scenery on the Human Ranking, they are too distant for ordinary Jianghu people.
The Qianlong Ranking consists entirely of Guan Shen Realm practitioners, at least they are potentially contactable.
"Wait, one of?"
"There's also the Baihua List and the Mystic Weapon Ranking."
The waiter beside them suddenly spoke, smiling:
"Seeing that you Young Heroes have extraordinary Aura, I'm afraid there will also be a few Prodigies from the Qianlong Ranking!"
"Qianlong Ranking..."
Li Mo looked at the clamor below, suddenly feeling a sense of unreality.
Could he make it onto the Qianlong Ranking?
If it was according to his true strength, then there was no doubt he could.
He would even be quite high up.
Although he was only at the second aperture of Guan Shen, he possessed too much capital that a Guan Shen Realm practitioner could not possibly have.
He clearly remembered the memories brought by the 'fetal delusion'.
He was just an unremarkable piece of social scrap, average-looking, average grades, average salary after graduation, occasionally saying he wasn't in a relationship because he kept himself pure, but in reality, he was simply unwanted...
His name might also appear in the eyes of the people of the world?
It really didn't feel very real...
Of course, not necessarily.
"I wonder if this Qianlong Ranking is reliable."
Li Mo collected his thoughts.
"It's almost certain."
"The Yantian Sect has existed for a very long time, even longer than Great Yu and Great Shang."
Ying Bing said softly.
Why did she know that there truly was a divination technique in the world?
It was precisely because of the various Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Wind and Cloud Rankings announced by the Yantian Sect.
Even their assessment of her was quite accurate.
"Then I'll wait and see."
Li Mo smiled; he was actually unsure.
Even the Tianming Divine Eye couldn't see his Tianming, so it was hard to say for the Yantian Sect.
It might not be accurate.
"Hmm..."
Ying Bing recalled the woman who had read Li Mo's fortune three days ago.
She recognized her; that was the contemporary Yantian Sect's itinerant practitioner—Tian Miao.
Tian Miao personally came to read his fortune, so it should... have some reference value?
Four days.
There were still four days until the System's ranking...
Perhaps the ranking on this Qianlong Ranking could, to some extent, correspond to the System's ranking?
Ying Bing withdrew her gaze from him and looked towards the Dragon Gate.
Bang—
Just then, the waiter from earlier burst in.
The waiter had a mournful face:
"Young Hero, the guests who booked the place earlier have arrived and are insisting on arguing with the restaurant owner." frёewebnoѵēl.com
"Then let them go find him."
"You are the owner now..."
"Uh... then, how about this, refund their money and give those few a good spot..."
Li Mo was still speaking.
Footsteps echoed from the staircase, more than one set.
"The local people of Yunzhou are too rude; they dare to snatch the spot this old lady booked!"
The voice seemed... quite familiar?
