Three people and two horses, one man and two women, were riding side by side on a narrow mountain path, neither fast nor slow, leisurely urging their horses and waving whips, like a beautiful picture of young people enjoying themselves.

It took half a day to walk the two hundred miles to reach the gate of the Desert City. After half a day, Feng Huan's injuries had completely recovered.

The guards at the city gates were particularly strict in their checks, especially for young men, who were questioned by special people. And they were only allowed to enter but not leave.

"When we left the city, the inspection was not so strict, and now it seems to be targeted. Could it be that the Lu family found some clues?" Hua Luzhu thought to herself.

The three of them arrived at the city gate. Hua Luzhu showed her Yanzilou ID card, and the leading guard hurried over.

"I think you are the two young ladies of the Hua family. You can go directly into the city without being checked, but this young man, please come over here for a moment. I just want the pharmacist to take a look at him. It won't take too long."

"What do you mean? How dare you make things difficult for my people from Yanzi Tower?" Hua Ziyun was still a little worried and immediately stepped forward and scolded the guard leader.

"I'm really sorry, we are just following orders, please don't embarrass us!" Although the guard leader was polite, he didn't mean to give way. These people are all from the Lu family, and the higher-ups are angry, so they dare not be careless.

"Forget it, I'll go and not embarrass this big brother!" Feng Huan probably guessed their purpose, which was nothing more than to confirm whether he had any injuries. Not to mention that his injuries had healed now, even if he still had some injuries, it would be a pipe dream to find out his true and false with this ordinary medicine.

Giving the two a reassuring look, Feng Huan took the initiative to step forward to cooperate with the inspection. Of course, nothing was found, and the guard leader respectfully escorted them into the city.

Looking at the people waiting in line outside the city gate to enter the city and those who wanted to leave the city but couldn't, Feng Huan said sorry in his heart, and at the same time, he felt the importance of strength. The Lu family can be said to be omnipotent here, just because their family is so powerful. But ordinary people have to accept the rules under this kind of power, regardless of whether the rules are right or wrong. If it weren't for the identity of Yanzilou, the three of them would have to wait in line with these ordinary people for inspection. All these differences are due to strength.

The three of them went straight back to Yanzi Tower without staying outside. Along the way, they saw that the people from the Lu family were like crazy, searching everywhere and arresting people at random.

"Although the people of the Lu family are a bit crazy, they seem to only capture young men. Could it be that you left something at the scene?" Hua Ziyun asked Feng Huan.

"Probably not. The old man chased me out and slapped me from a distance, but he probably couldn't sense my aura."

"You really have no common sense at all. There is a kind of people in Longxing Continent called fortune tellers. They can make deductions based on some related factors and get the desired information. I just didn't expect that the Lu family would go to such great lengths to ask a fortune teller to make deductions for a dead person. But fortunately, this fortune teller should not be very good. He can only calculate the age and gender." Hua Luzhu explained on the side.

"I see. I have to be more careful next time I do something like this." Feng Huan secretly warned himself.

"But most physiognomists don't have such strong divination abilities. People with such abilities won't do this kind of divination for others unless there are special circumstances. I heard that such divination will be countered by the heavens and shorten the physiognomist's lifespan." Hua Luzhu pulled him and said, "And in many cases, the divination is not that accurate. If there weren't so many restrictions, Huang Hualong would have definitely asked a physiognomist to make a divination when his son was killed last time. After all, the most powerful physiognomist in Shangming is in the imperial capital."

The speaker may have said it unintentionally, but Feng Huan, the listener, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Apart from the cosmic antagonism, is there no other way to deal with this kind of calculation?" Hua Ziyun on the side asked the question that Feng Huan wanted to ask.

"I heard that there are some techniques that disrupt the qi that can reduce the success rate of the divination. There are also more advanced techniques and treasures that can deceive the qi, making it impossible to deduce the relevant people and events."

"Thank you, Big Ice Cube, for taking such a big risk for me! I said I would take you to eat delicious food, but it looks like there's nothing to eat!" Hua Ziyun said to Feng Huan with an apologetic look on her face.

"Actually, it's not entirely for you. I once promised someone to avenge her, and it just happened to be the same person. Killing him can be considered as revenge for her, and I have also concluded a matter!" Feng Huan didn't want Hua Ziyun to feel that he owed him, so he told her about the battle with Yu Liushiliu.

"No matter what, it's always my fault." Hua Ziyun didn't dwell on it too much.

Hua Luzhu thought highly of Feng Huan because he did not show any intention of repaying her kindness but instead tried to shirk his own contributions. She thought, "This boy is getting more and more interesting!"

After this incident, Feng Huan simply stopped practicing in seclusion. The three of them sat together and chatted casually. Of course, most of the time, Hua Ziyun was talking about her fun experiences. Although the other two didn't think they were that interesting, they just went along with her. This reminded Feng Huan of the time when he was with Wushuang and Pianpian. They were so similar. However, Hua Ziyun's talkativeness was different from Wushuang's. Wushuang only talked for Feng Huan, and only in front of Feng Huan, as if her blooming period was only for Feng Huan.

……

"Are you crazy? You actually want us to hand over all the men in our family who are under 20 years old and over 16 years old. Are you trying to use this opportunity to cut off our family's inheritance?"

In the meeting house of the Desert City, three old men were arguing fiercely. One of them was the ancestor of the Lu family, and the other two were the ancestors of the other two major forces in the Desert City. The one who spoke just now was the ancestor of the Shen family, and the one who echoed him was the ancestor of the Dong family.

The Lu family searched the city for a day but did not catch anyone, so they thought of a way to cut off the fire from the bottom of the pot, that is, to catch all the teenagers who meet the conditions in the city and interrogate them slowly. The ancestor of the Lu family found the two and asked them to cooperate with him as the current family in charge of the Desert City.

"Although your Lu family is stronger than us now, if our two families unite, we will not necessarily be afraid of your Lu family." The Dong family's ancestor was also very angry. "Is it necessary to make such a big fuss for a younger generation? It's embarrassing enough to be killed in your own home and get away with it. Don't make a big deal about it. Do you think it's not embarrassing enough?"

"What do you know? He is not just an ordinary talented junior. He can be of great use to me."

"You are almost dead, what use can you be?"

"Wait! Is it of great use? I heard that a few years ago you found a special treasure in a dangerous place that can extend your life. Could it be related to this?" The old ancestor of the Shen family suddenly thought of something.

"Old Shen is a wise man. If you are willing to cooperate, I can share this thing with you two. How about it?" The ancestor of the Lu family looked at the two of them and made a concession.

"But your descendants have been killed. What's the use of finding the murderer?" asked the ancestor of the Dong family.

"This is related to the treasure. I can't tell you the details now. If I find it, I will tell you clearly."

"We can agree to it, but the descendants of our two families are not allowed to harm them without evidence." The two men discussed it for a long time and finally agreed for the sake of their own lifespans.

"Don't worry, my goal is not to destroy both of your families."

"Master Hua, it's bad. The three major families in Desert City have joined forces to arrest all men between the ages of sixteen and twenty." When the three were chatting and laughing, Wu Liu ran in in a panic, because he himself was not even twenty years old.

"What? This Desert City really has no scruples!"

"But is it really that serious just for a dead person? Are all the Lu family members crazy? And these other two families are also crazy as well, going crazy along with the Lu family." Hua Ziyun was so angry that she jumped up and cursed.

Hua Luzhu and Feng Huan looked at each other and both smelled a hint of something unusual.
