Chapter 249 Dissatisfaction
Jiang Xuan and Instructor Liu walked all the way from the Qizhou Martial Arts Hall to the north gate of Qizhou City. During the journey, many warriors greeted Instructor Liu.

Jiang Xuan could also see that many young warriors recognized his face as Ling Honghe, but since Instructor Liu was next to him, they greeted Instructor Liu first.

What surprised Jiang Xuan was that when many young warriors greeted Instructor Liu, Instructor Liu just nodded slightly without showing any expression, giving people an extremely aloof feeling.

Along the way, many young male warriors cast admiring glances at Instructor Liu.

However, Instructor Liu reacted strongly to those admiring looks, and looked at those pursuers with a serious and somewhat warning look.

Some of them were obviously Instructor Liu's admirers. Seeing a young man next to Instructor Liu, they looked at Jiang Xuan with dissatisfaction, making Jiang Xuan feel uncomfortable.

What was even more terrifying was that the male warriors who were warned by Instructor Liu were even more angry because they were rejected, and looked at Jiang Xuan with strange eyes.

Apart from listening to Instructor Liu mentioning the Jade Cultivation Passage Trial and Senior Brother Gao, Jiang Xuan was really tormented at other times.

He felt that if Instructor Liu had not been present, those male warriors would probably draw their swords against him if they saw him again.

Jiang Xuan also thought of some ways to express that "Instructor Liu and I are just acquaintances, that's all", but after racking his brains, he still couldn't think of any good and feasible method.

"If we continue walking like this all the way out of the city, won't it cause dissatisfaction among more male warriors?" Jiang Xuan was very worried.

"Okay, I won't leave the city. Let's say goodbye here." When they reached a street market near the north gate, Instructor Liu stopped.

Jiang Xuan was worried that it would be inconvenient if Instructor Liu went out of the city with him. Instructor Liu's words made Jiang Xuan feel relieved.

"Goodbye, Instructor Liu." Jiang Xuan said to Instructor Liu with a fist salute.

"Junior Brother Ling, goodbye." Instructor Liu's cheeks were slightly red again.

After a simple inspection by the guards at the north city gate, Jiang Xuan successfully left the city gate.

Thinking back to the warriors he and Instructor Liu had just met, the reactions of some of them did make Jiang Xuan a little worried.

He always felt that the thoughts of those warriors were not as simple as they showed on their faces at the time.

"It seems that I have caused dissatisfaction among some warriors in Qizhou City, especially some male warriors. Although the matter can be explained, the explanation is useless." Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

In fact, he knew in his heart that this short journey with Instructor Liu was not the key to the matter.

I'm afraid that as early as the Five States Martial Arts Show, he had already attracted some dissatisfaction and even jealousy from many young warriors, especially some young warriors whose strength was close to his own.

Since explanation is useless, what Jiang Xuan has to do next is to find Sha Lao as soon as possible, leave Qizhou City as soon as possible, and go to Qixi Desert to complete the task.

As for the direction to find Mr. Sha, Jiang Xuan naturally had some considerations based on Xia Lin's statement.

First, it was near the observation post in the north of the city.

According to Xia Lin's observation, there was no doubt that Sha Lao appeared near the north gate of Qizhou City.

Like most other disciples of Qizhou Martial Arts School, Xia Lin had met Master Sha, and perhaps more than once.

In addition, according to Xia Lin's description, the person he met that day was indeed Mr. Sha.

If Xia Lin had mistaken Jiang Xuan for someone else, or even deliberately deceived him, it's unlikely that he would have known so much about Sha Lao's recent attire. Taking a deep breath, putting aside the events in Qizhou City, Jiang Xuan left the city gate and continued walking north of Qizhou City.

"Just now, when I was walking with Instructor Liu, I was walking a little slowly because I was taking Instructor Liu's walking speed into consideration. I need to walk faster."

Jiang Xuan quickened his pace and walked on at a brisk pace.

When Jiang Xuan arrived at the street market near the observation post, he was already mentally exhausted, so he walked into the inn where he had stayed before.

Unlike last time, this time the dozen or so wooden tables on the first floor of the inn were almost full of customers.

Jiang Xuan took a quick look and found that most of the customers were carrying weapons and looked exhausted.

This place is very close to the canyon, and the canyon leading to the forest in the north of the city only allows warriors to enter at this time.

Needless to say, most of the customers dining here are warriors who go hunting in the forest north of the city.

Jiang Xuan judged that there were at least two or three peak warriors among them, and they were extremely powerful.

"Have you heard? There's been some movement in the forest again these past two days."

"What's going on? Isn't it just that some ferocious beasts in the outer areas are showing signs of activity again?"

"Some brave people went to the dense forest to take a look. There was no movement in the cave."

"No movement? Those two... are very alert. I'm afraid it's just another trick."

The food Jiang Xuan ordered was served quickly and looked delicious. While he was eating, two people dressed as warriors were talking in low voices at a table not far away.

Jiang Xuan is now a peak warrior, and his hearing is much better than before. He can even hear some conversations that are a little further away.

"I'm afraid what those two people are talking about is the cave of the two conjoined rats from earlier?" Jiang Xuan found it interesting, but he didn't care much about it. After all, there was nothing to say about such things, and there was nothing to brag about.

More importantly, if these warriors who heard the news knew that it was him who did it, there was no telling what they would do for no reason.

"You still have to be careful about everything." Jiang Xuan finished all the meat and vegetable dishes he wanted, drank a few cups of tea, put the change on the table, and left the inn.

After asking around in the nearby market, Jiang Xuan still didn't get any news about Mr. Sha.

"I didn't ask about it just now in the inn. Apart from this street market, there is only a big forest to the north of the canyon. Could it be that Mr. Sha went to the big forest again?" Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

Jiang Xuan was thinking in his mind, but he did not stop and walked straight towards the observation post.

At this moment, a situation that had not occurred before occurred near the observation post.

At an observation post in the distance, several soldiers were standing in a neat row in front of a soldier in beautiful armor.

Jiang Xuan walked closer and found that the soldier wearing beautiful armor seemed to have a high position. The other soldiers looked very nervous in front of him and did not say a word.

"You must be vigilant and never let civilians other than warriors pass by!" shouted the soldier in beautiful armor.
