Several black lines appeared on Lin Xiao's forehead, and he rolled his eyes at Bei Gongxue.
In fact, Lin Xiao knew in his heart that he and Wei Yanran were from two different worlds and had very little interaction with each other.
He didn't want to delay Wei Yanran, so he chose to politely refuse. In the future, even if they met, they would still be friends.
This is better for both parties.
Lin Xiao didn't explain too much about this. After retracting his gaze, he sat cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation.
The moment he closed his eyes, Bei Gongxue's calm face suddenly burst into a smile, and his eyes were slightly curved, revealing a bit of playfulness.
This smile is so beautiful.
Even the bright moon hanging above the night sky looks eclipsed!
…
Qingyang City is a small border town, thousands of miles away from the imperial city.
Even though the Golden Feathered Eagle can travel thousands of miles in a day, it still takes nine days to reach it. This shows that the territory of the Qin Dynasty was astonishingly vast.
Lin Xiao has been practicing for more than a thousand years, and with the back of the Golden Feather Eagle, he is able to devote himself wholeheartedly to his practice.
But what made him feel helpless was that after being promoted to the Nine Spirit Realm, his cultivation speed was as slow as a turtle, with no signs of breaking through.
This made Lin Xiao sigh, if the cold energy in Bei Gongxue's body could burst out again, he would definitely be able to take this opportunity to advance to the middle stage of the Nine Spirit Realm in one fell swoop.
As soon as the thought appeared, Bei Gongxue seemed to feel something and immediately cast a cold look at Lin Xiao.
That coldness almost sealed the Golden Feather Eagle in ice, causing Lin Xiao to give up the idea in an instant.
In this way, nine days passed.
When they were still a hundred miles away from the imperial city, Lin Xiao and Bei Gongxue abandoned the Golden Feather Eagle and walked instead.
The imperial court clearly stipulates that without military authorization, it is prohibited to ride flying spirit beasts within a hundred miles of the imperial city, and no one, including the royal family, can disobey it.
Fortunately, with Lin Xiao and Bei Gongxue's speed, it only takes a few hours to travel a hundred miles, and they can reach the imperial city before dusk today.
The two of them were silent all the way and ran at full speed.
It is worth mentioning that Lin Xiao had changed his appearance at this moment and turned into a thin young man with a sallow complexion.
Not only has his facial features changed, but his temperament has also undergone earth-shaking changes. It is ordinary and makes people unable to feel that he is outstanding.
In Qingyang City, Lin Xiao went on a killing spree, not only killing Gu Qingyun and Gu Chen, but also many generals and students.
This matter must have reached the imperial city.
For convenience, it is undoubtedly necessary to disguise yourself.
As for Bei Gongxue, she did not change her appearance, but covered herself with a veil.
Obviously, she also felt that her peerless appearance could easily cause unnecessary trouble.
"According to the map, you can see the imperial city as long as you pass through the woods in front." Lin Xiao pointed forward and said to Bei Gongxue.
After speaking, the two of them increased their speed to the extreme and prepared to go straight through the dense forest.
"Wait a minute, you two!"
At this moment, a blocking voice suddenly sounded.
Lin Xiao followed the sound and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. He saw a caravan coming towards him.
On a carriage headed by the caravan, two young men were sitting.
One, dressed in black attire and carrying a broad and heavy sword on his back, is about twenty-four or five years old and exudes a simple and steady aura.
The other one was wearing simple linen clothes and was thin and about fourteen or fifteen years old. His eyes were shining brightly as he kept looking at Lin Xiao and Bei Gongxue.
The person who spoke was the honest young man in black.
He came to Lin Xiao, cupped his fists and said, "You two, are you going to the imperial city?"
While he was talking, the honest young man saw Bei Gongxue, and his face suddenly burst into astonishment.
Even though the gauze covered Bei Gongxue's face, he could still feel the overwhelming beauty, and he couldn't help but have endless reverie about the face under the gauze.
However, the honest young man quickly came to his senses and smiled at Bei Gongxue.
The smile is very clean and has no evil thoughts.
Lin Xiao didn't recognize the young man in front of him. He frowned and simply responded: "Exactly."
"If my guess is correct, this should be your first time coming to the Imperial City, right?" the honest young man said again.
At this moment, Lin Xiao's heart sank slightly, and he looked at the honest young man with some vigilance.
The young man sensed Lin Xiao's vigilance and hurriedly explained: "You two, I don't mean any harm. This forest is called the Misty Forest. It is filled with thick fog and spiritual beasts. It is easy to lose your way. Ordinary people want to go to the imperial city.
They will all choose to take a detour.”
"With your two cultivation levels, forcing your way through the misty forest would be very risky. We happen to be heading to the Imperial City as well. If you don't mind, how about we go together?"
The young man's words were sincere and without any evil intentions, which made Lin Xiao lower his guard.
Just when he was about to decline, the skinny young man suddenly spoke and said proudly: "My brother is a Jiangxing student and is very familiar with the Imperial City. Let him lead the way and ensure that you can reach the Imperial City safely."
"Um?"
Lin Xiao's heart trembled, he took a deep look at the honest young man, and then said: "That's troublesome."
With that said, Lin Xiao took out a Yuan Stone and handed it to the honest young man as a reward.
With Lin Xiao's strength, it is not difficult to cross the misty forest, but he does not know much about the imperial city and urgently needs to collect necessary information and intelligence.
As a student of General Xingxing, this honest young man is very familiar with the imperial city and is undoubtedly the best candidate.
"A primeval stone!"
Seeing Lin Xiao's actions, the skinny young man's eyes shone, and he was about to take down the Yuan Stone with one hand, but was unexpectedly stopped by the honest young man.
The honest young man shook his head and said: "It is fate that we meet each other. Why should I meet you? Please take it back."
"Brother!" The thin young man was a little anxious and looked at the honest young man eagerly.
The honest young man didn't say much and looked at Lin Xiao and Bei Gongxue with a smile on his face.
"Thank you." Lin Xiao reached out and clasped his fists, then turned to look at Bei Gongxue.
Bei Gongxue understood immediately, moved her lotus steps, stepped onto the carriage together, and got behind the curtain.
Those in the caravan had no objections to the joining of Lin Xiao and Bei Gongxue.
What's more, many people sensed Bei Gongxue's out-of-the-world temperament and welcomed the two of them. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
However, that was not the case for the skinny young man.
He still cared about the Yuan Stone, sitting alone on the top of the carriage, curling his lips and sulking secretly.
"Brother Feng is really out of his mind. That's a primeval stone. It's enough for us to live for several months."
"It's always been like this since I was little. Every time I mention it to him, I always talk about the Changyuan Swordsman."
"I'm so angry. I'm so angry!"
The thin young man lowered his head and muttered, his voice was very low, making it difficult to hear clearly.
However, when these words fell into Lin Xiao's ears, they were extremely clear and made his heart tremble suddenly!
