Qi Yuan led Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying across several streets, enthusiastically explaining the main features of each one.
"This is the most prosperous commercial street in Nanli City. Here, as long as you have money, you can buy anything."
"This street is also a commercial street. Although it is not as lively as the previous one, the prices are more affordable."
"This place is called Tianbao Street. It sells spiritual weapons, magical herbs, medicinal herbs, and monster materials."
"If you're lucky, you can occasionally find some monster pets!"
Given Luo Ruying's high cultivation level, Qi Yuan specially took them to see Tianbao Street.
In Nanli City, every cultivator knows Tianbao Street. The streets are filled with all kinds of peculiar and low-level magic weapons, though some are damaged or fake.
Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying took one look and lost interest.
To them, calling these items garbage would be a compliment.
"Oh, I wondered who this was. It turns out to be the eldest miss of the Qi family~"
As Qi Yuan led Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying down the street, several figures approached and blocked their path.
The leading man was dressed in luxurious clothes, adorned with various jewelry and magic weapons, looking like a nouveau riche, with a contemptuous and proud expression.
Behind him were dozens of followers, creating an impressive scene.
When the stallholders around saw the man, their expressions changed, and they avoided him.
Wherever the man went, everything in his path was either kicked away or stepped on. His behavior was extremely arrogant.
But everyone around just dared to be angry but did not dare to speak up.
Even among them were many monks with extraordinary cultivation who did not dare to say anything.
This man was Jiang Li, the eldest son of one of the two major trading houses in Nanli City.
The Jiang family controls nearly 60% of the commercial streets south of the capital, with countless cultivators at their service.
The Jiang family even hired many cultivators as bodyguards, including several powerful men above the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
It is said that the forces behind them are unfathomable and unimaginably powerful.
No one in the entire Nanli City dares to provoke the Jiang family.
Jiang Li noticed Qi Yuan from a distance. Seeing her on the street surprised and shocked him.
She actually came back?!
Although unexpected, Jiang Li smiled contemptuously and walked towards Qi Yuan with a smirk.
When Qi Yuan saw Jiang Li approaching, her pretty face turned gloomy, her expression cold, and she said bluntly:
"Humph, aren't you disappointed to see me back?"
"No, not disappointed at all."
"It makes things more interesting."
Jiang Li boldly and indirectly admitted that the assassination was the work of the Jiang family, as if to say there was nothing Qi Yuan could do to him.
Qi Yuan had thought Jiang Li would at least pretend not to know, but she didn't expect him to admit it so arrogantly!
How insolent!
Qi Yuan clenched her fists in anger, wanting to take action, but seeing the dozens of guards behind Jiang Li, she had to grit her teeth and reluctantly give up.
Jiang Li was confident Qi Yuan couldn't do anything to him. His expression became even more arrogant as he leaned in close and whispered with a sinister smile:
"Soon, the Qi family will disappear from Nanli City~"
"Miss Qi, you should think about how to make a living next time~"
"Flower Moon Tower is recruiting. I can introduce you."
"With Miss Qi's name, she would definitely become the number one in Flower Moon Tower~"
"You…!"
Qi Yuan's face turned pale with anger, and she placed her palm on the hilt of the long sword at her waist.
The dozens of guards behind Jiang Li immediately grasped their swords.
"Miss Qi, it is illegal to cause trouble in the city~"
Jiang Li raised his hand, signaling his men to put away their weapons, looking at Qi Yuan with a playful expression, not taking her seriously at all.
Qi Yuan considered it for a moment and finally let go of the sword, giving up the idea of drawing it.
With her strength, she couldn't even defeat a guard behind Jiang Li, let alone kill him...
"That's right~"
Jiang Li smiled proudly and looked at Luo Ruying, who was holding Luo Hongye behind Qi Yuan.
He had noticed Luo Ruying's stunning appearance from the start.
Upon closer look, he couldn't help but be amazed:
"This girl is so beautiful and fragrant!"
Jiang Li ignored Ning Yechen, who stood beside Luo Ruying, and walked directly to her, pretending to be polite and asking with a smile:
"This girl looks unfamiliar, as if you haven't been to Nanli before?"
"May I know your name?"
"I am Jiang Li, the son of the Jiang family in Nanli City."
"I am not talented, but I have quite a financial position in Nanli Capital. If I am honored, I would like to make your acquaintance~"
Ning Yechen stood aside, frowning slightly.
He resisted the urge to slap Jiang Li to death!
How dare he dig him in front of his face!
If it weren't for the fact that Luo Ruying was by his side and he was worried about being noticed by her, Jiang Li would have been dead already!
"Get lost!"
Luo Ruying said to Jiang Li coldly and unceremoniously.
From the first sight, she was extremely disgusted with Jiang Li, a dandy who bullied others and was greedy for beauty.
Jiang Li's expression was sleazy, the corners of his eyes darkened, and he couldn't hide the lustful look in his eyes. He didn't know how many women had fallen to him!
If she hadn't wanted to live a quiet life in seclusion with her husband and children in Nanli City and avoid causing trouble, she would have killed him!
Jiang Li was initially stunned by Luo Ruying's cold words in front of everyone, but then he smiled disdainfully.
He wasn't angry at all.
He had encountered arrogant women like Luo Ruying before. When they first came to Nanli City, they didn't know his methods or the power of the Jiang family.
Once they saw what he was capable of, wouldn't they just lie on his bed obediently and let him do what he wanted!
Qi Yuan saw Jiang Li talking to Luo Ruying with a sleazy look and knew he had bad intentions. She immediately blocked Luo Ruying and yelled at Jiang Li:
"Jiang Li! Don't even think about making a move on Sister Luo!"
"Sister Luo already has a husband and a child, so don't get any ideas!"
"Get out of here!"
"Husband and child...?"
Jiang Li looked at Luo Hongye in Luo Ruying's arms, then turned to look at Ning Yechen, his expression still full of disdain.
"This pretty boy?"
Ning Yechen: "..."
Hold back…
Hold it…!
Ning Yechen's palm behind his back could hardly hold back from swatting this damn fly to death!
For an unknown amount of time, even Immortal Emperor did not dare to speak to him like this in front of him!
Luo Ruying's beautiful eyebrows furrowed, her pretty face turned cold, she hugged Luo Hongye, and stood in front of Ning Yechen, saying coldly:
"My husband is not someone you can insult!"
After saying that, Luo Ruying released a powerful aura that swept towards Jiang Li and his followers.
