Quick Wear: True and False Life

At noon on the second day after the negotiation, Song Nan and his party entered Jingyuan Mansion in their carriage. While they were having dinner at the restaurant, Mr. Jin strolled around outside and settled the matter of renting a house.

"Girl Song, we've found a house. It's near Baiqi Academy as you wish. We'll go there after dinner." After entering the box, Mr. Jin sat on the seat on the left side of Song Nan, took off his wine gourd, drank a sip of the spiritual spring water and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Jin, for your thoughtfulness." Song Nan raised his glass to toast Mr. Jin.

"It's just a small matter, Song girl. If you have any inconvenience in the future, just leave it to me. It won't delay either of us." Old Jin drank another sip of the spiritual spring and said. In his heart, Song Nan and Lingxi were just like his daughters. It would be no problem to take care of them more if something happened.

"Got it, Mr. Jin, I won't be polite." Lingxi was very happy when she heard what Mr. Jin was willing to help with. With someone to help share the burden, she would have to do much less. Her mind was full of empty fantasies.

"You girl, you never think about your business." Old Jin said in a very rogue tone. This girl's mind is full of nonsense.

"Lingxi, eat quickly. We're leaving soon. Can you please eat a little faster?" Song Nan rolled his eyes at her and put some food in her bowl.

"Got it, let's eat right away." Lingxi pouted and lowered her head to eat.

Looking at Song An, Master and others grinning secretly, Ling Xi is really out of tune sometimes. To be honest, it's quite funny to watch.

After everyone finished eating, they quickly took a car to the rented house, put their things away, and then listened to Master Zhang and Master Qin talking about their respective good friends here.

"Master Fang, the vice-president of Baiqi Academy, is my classmate, but I haven't seen him for many years. Song An and Xier will come with me to visit him." When Master Zhang talked about this classmate, he was still wondering if Master Fang would be surprised to know that he was coming. We have lost contact since he left. I wonder how he is doing now?

"It's Master Zhang." Song An replied in return.

"Yes, father." Zhang Xi replied with a slightly babyish voice. He had often heard this from his father, and he didn't know whether it was serious or not.

"Brother Zhang, since you've finished speaking, let me tell you about my good friend. He's a chivalrous man, and he's staying here temporarily after he gets married. You two boys can go and meet him when the time comes." Master Qin said in an unrestrained manner. He met this chivalrous man when he went to Beijing for the imperial examination. The two of them got to know each other through a fight, and they had been in constant contact since then. How could he not visit him when he passed by this place?

"Master Qin, can we go with you too?" Zhang Xi asked with some surprise.

"Why not? You are half my student, so you should go." Master Qin replied with a smile, thinking: "This kid! He is a mischievous boy. If he can stop looking so exaggerated, he also believes it."

After listening to what the two masters said, Song Nan thought about it. He heard that the little monsters from the Mermaid Kingdom had all transformed, and the time had come to pick them up. Plus the time wasted in the dangerous place of Luoyuan Bay, it would take at least more than a month. It would be better to stay here and ask Master Zhang to see if he could arrange them into the academy.

"Mr. Jin, Lingxi, why don't we let them stay here for a while, and we will act on our own to explore the six dangerous places other than Guixu Valley and Qixia Valley first." Song Nan said after thinking about the distribution of various dangerous places in his mind.

"Song girl, you don't want to wait for us to come back and go straight to Kyoto, do you? One of these two places is on the only way to the capital, and the other is located in the dense forest behind the Huangjue Temple in the capital." Old Jin guessed after thinking about the geographical location of these two places.

"Mr. Jin guessed correctly."

"Sister and Mr. Jin, you are right. This way, Master Song Anzhi and others won't have to take risks with us in these remote areas." Lingxi also realized that although the area with dense volcanoes was beautiful and picturesque on the surface, it was rumored to have many shady places and many strange species. It was very dangerous, especially for women and children in the team.

"I think it's feasible. After all, there are many mountains and dense forests over there, and bandits are thriving. There's no need to take risks." Master Liu continued after hearing Song Nan's idea. He had been to that area with his master. The ethnic minorities there were very fierce. In addition, there were many bandits and accidents, so it was not suitable for them to go there.

"I quite agree with this idea. Song An and Zhang Xi can be allowed to study in Baiqi Academy for a year or two to consolidate the knowledge they have learned and get in touch with other aspects to broaden their knowledge. After all, the academy has its strengths, enough to make up for the shortcomings of traveling alone." Master Zhang was worried about the danger; second, the children needed to come into contact with students of the same age to improve their social skills; third, a lot of knowledge, information and books could not be accessed by traveling alone.

"Since everyone has the same idea, I'd like to trouble Master Zhang to pay more attention to this matter. I'll ask Lingxi to prepare the gifts and test Master Fang's attitude." Seeing that everyone was very concerned about this matter and agreed with it, Song Nan decided to say.

They set a time to visit those who needed to be visited and to inquire about those who needed to be inquired. Soon, they received a message from Master Zhang that he and Master Qin were admitted to the academy to teach, and Song An and Zhang Xi were admitted to the academy to study. After learning that the two students were admitted, they did not waste any time and immediately accepted the invitation.

The seven accompanying guards were invited by Master Qin's friends to practice with his son for a year, and they took turns to leave two of them at home to guard the house.

After seeing that everyone had settled down, Song Nan began to prepare for the Luoyuan River expedition.

"Song An, if you encounter something dangerous, remember to crush the jade talisman. This is a teleportation array that can teleport people thousands of miles away to an uncertain location. Use it with caution." Before leaving, Song Nan gave him a transmission talisman, following the amulet he gave him more than two years ago, and gave him instructions.

"I know, sister, you have to be careful!" Song An sent the three of them out of the yard, saying reluctantly.

Song Nan and the other two flew away amid the reluctance of Song An and the others, traveling rapidly all the way. Wherever they passed, there was fog and cold air. In the forest filled with a rotten smell, they hovered and rose like ghosts, seeming to shroud the entire forest in a mysterious atmosphere.

At this moment, every living creature in the dark forest is filled with a strange atmosphere, making people feel the presence of fear irresistibly.

\ At the end of the forest, a river as dark as the abyss spread across the boundless horizon. The sound of the flowing water was like the roar of Thunder, deafening and terrifying. Wherever it passed, it was razed to the ground in an instant, destroying everything that stood in its way.

\ Song Nan ignored all the strange smells and creatures in the forest, and bravely moved forward following the roaring sound. When they reached the water bend at the foot of Xianxia Peak, they discovered that there were mostly various high and low waterfalls formed by broken rocks. The broken rocks along the river were basically all black stones, making the water look dark and gloomy.

She took a closer look and found that these black stones were a mineral called black tourmaline, which could be considered a luxury gem.

"Sister, this is black tourmaline!" Seeing Song Nan looking closely, Lingxi picked up a thumb-sized one from the river bank, pinched it, and rubbed it a few times before saying it with certainty.
