Long River Eternity

The four of them ordered a large table of delicious dishes and devoured them without hesitation. After eating, everyone rubbed their round bellies with satisfaction and walked out of the hotel.

The nights in the capital city were truly bustling, completely different from those in Nanshan City. Once dark, the streets of Nanshan City fell silent, almost unseen. Here, however, the streets thronged with people, the cries of street vendors echoing incessantly. Stalls selling daily necessities, clothing, and snacks filled the air, a dazzling array of goods.

The four of them wandered the streets, stopping here and there. They first bought some paper and pens for writing letters, then each picked out a change of clothes. Finally, they stopped at a small stall to pick up some snacks for the train. Then, carrying their bags, they returned to the hotel, still feeling unsatisfied.

The bustling scene on the street and the bountiful harvest made them extremely happy, temporarily pulling themselves away from the thrilling emotions of wandering among the monsters in the mountains in the past few days.

Back at the hotel, the four of them booked two rooms, one for Feng Hao and Liu Xianxian, and one for Lin Ding and Wei Wu. At this moment, after washing up, the four of them gathered in Lin Ding's room to discuss tomorrow's itinerary.

"Dinner and shopping cost me 500. The prices in Nanzhou City are really expensive, and this doesn't include the accommodation fee for tonight. The prices in Zhongzhou won't be more expensive than this, right?" Considering that Lin Ding and Wei Wu might need to fight from time to time, all the money is temporarily managed by Liu Xianxian. At this moment, Liu Xianxian was calculating the expenses for the evening, her face full of heartache.

"It's the capital after all, so it's normal to be expensive. Besides, the dishes tonight are really delicious. I haven't eaten many of them before." Wei Wu recalled the delicacies in the evening with an expression of being reluctant to leave.

"Are you sure you want to go to Zhongzhou with me?" Lin Ding said with a complicated expression.

"Why are you still talking about this at this time? I told you when we were little that I would protect you. Now that such a big thing has happened, I will definitely stand by you through thick and thin." Wei Wu patted Lin Ding's shoulder and said.

"That's right. Don't even think about leaving me. Besides, I've also thought about it. Although Feng Hao is young, he is so talented. Letting him stay in Nanshan City would simply be burying his talent. It's just right that there's an opportunity to venture out and gain experience. We should let him go with us and see what's out there." Liu Xianxian looked at Feng Hao and said.

Lin Ding was deeply moved after hearing this. The two knew that Zhongzhou was in danger, yet they still followed him without hesitation. Lin Ding looked at them and smiled, "It's great to have you by my side."

Wei Wu pretended to vomit, then said, "Don't be so disgusting. I can't accept it."

"I think you think you are too thick-skinned and want me to help you loosen it up, right?" Lin Ding gritted his teeth and raised his fist to threaten.

Liu Xianxian laughed and fanned the flames, saying, "He's just being naughty. Use your Five Elements Flow to tame him and he'll behave himself."

"Okay, you two are bullying me, an outsider, right? Little brat, you have to stand on my side!" Wei Wu shouted in an exaggerated voice.

"I'm definitely on Sister Xianxian's side. Are you stupid, big guy?" Feng Hao took Liu Xianxian's hand and made a face at Wei Wu.

Wei Wu made a heartbroken expression, covered his heart with his hands, and pretended to vomit blood.

"Knock, knock, knock." Just as the four were playing, there was a knock on the door. After many days of adventure, they became alert instantly. They had no acquaintances in Nanzhou City, so why would someone come to knock on the door? There was no such thing as hotel service in this era.

The room fell silent, and no one opened the door. Then, the knocking sound of "dong, dong, dong" rang out again. The few people looked at each other, and seeing that everyone else had a puzzled and alert expression, they became even more confused.

At this time, Lin Ding stood up and walked towards the door. Although he felt strange, with their current strength, he was not afraid to open the door. Even if a strong man in the Tianquan realm rushed in, Lin Ding and Wei Wu could work together to pin the other party to the ground.

Lin Ding walked quietly to the door, while using the spiritual energy in his body to prepare for unexpected situations, he put his hand on the door handle. At this time, the knock on the door sounded again. Lin Ding suddenly pulled the door open. Fortunately, the door opened inward, otherwise the people outside would be in trouble.

After opening the door, Lin Ding was stunned when he saw the person outside. Wei Wu, who was inside the room, could not see who the person was because Lin Ding blocked his view. He could only see Lin Ding suddenly standing still. Then, as if he had been ambushed by the person outside, he instantly jumped up from the bed and rushed towards the door, shouting, "Who's outside?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Lin Ding's surprised voice: "Director Tang! Why are you here?"

"Eh?" Liu Xianxian excitedly stood up and looked towards the door when she heard Lin Ding calling Director Tang. Wei Wu was taller than Lin Ding, so he couldn't see the people outside the door while sitting. He stood up and ran halfway when he saw Tang Yuanqing standing at the door. He was scratching the back of his head with a silly smile and said, "Director Tang, how did you know we were here?"

Lin Ding then stepped aside and prepared to invite Tang Yuanqing into the house.

Tang Yuanqing stood at the door, looking at his students in the room. Everyone was safe and sound, especially Wei Wu. From his size and the momentum of his rush just now, it could be seen that he had made a great breakthrough in his cultivation.

Tang Yuanqing nodded in satisfaction, then said, "I'm relieved to see that you're all doing well. We'll talk about the past later. I've brought my master to see you this time."

After saying that, Tang Yuanqing turned aside, and a familiar figure entered everyone's sight from the door. It turned out to be the old man from Linglongfang.

The old man looked at everyone in the room with a complicated expression, and then said: "Everyone, nice to meet you again. Let me introduce myself. My name is Qin Hanming."

After saying this, Qin Hanming paid attention to the expressions of everyone in the room. He saw that Liu Xianxian and Wei Wu's expressions had no other changes except confusion, and their expressions were slightly lost. Then he looked at Lin Ding and noticed a flash of surprise on Lin Ding's face. Qin Hanming's eyes lit up instantly.

Then he said to Tang Yuanqing, "Yuanqing, please go to the lobby and wait for a while. I have something to discuss with some of your students."

"Yes, Master." After saying that, Tang Yuanqing looked at everyone with a smile, gave everyone a reassuring look, then left the door and walked away.

Lin Ding was puzzled and hesitated for a moment before welcoming Qin Hanming into the room.

Lin Ding remained calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil. Qin Hanming, this name was very familiar to him. He was one of the people who traveled to the ancient continent with Yang An.

Although every time he returned from his memories, the faces of the people he had met were shrouded in fog and could not be seen clearly, Lin Ding had a strong premonition that this Qin Hanming was the Qin Hanming in his memories.

Sure enough, after Qin Hanming walked into the room, he found a chair and sat down. He then glanced at everyone again, and finally stopped his gaze on Lin Ding, and said: "Yang An, long time no see."
