Quick Transmigration: Leisure

The carriages and horses swayed, while the pedestrians strolled leisurely.

Upon arriving in a small town near the Eastern Capital, one can clearly see more people who are not martial artists. Unlike ordinary people living near martial arts sects, they do not show much awe or fear towards swordsmen.

Everyone's face was filled with contentment and leisure.

This was undoubtedly the best display of the local customs and culture of the Eastern Capital. It made the strange and unsavory characters passing by unconsciously restrain themselves, fearing that they would not get the better of them.

Zuixian Tower.

Xia Youmi and her group were waiting for their food at the restaurant when they heard complaints about Xuan Yang Temple coming from downstairs. The voices were very penetrating, as if the person was drunk and couldn't help but vent their inner energy.

"whispering sound--"

"I say, what kind of trouble is Xuanyang Temple causing? Why can't we enter?"

"Exactly! It made the brothers come all this way for nothing."

"Those bald monks might as well just admit they've embezzled the treasure; who are they trying to fool with this act?"

"What kind of logic is it to organize a competition but not allow anyone to watch?"

"Bah! From now on, I'll teach every monk I see a lesson!" With that, the sound of shattering porcelain filled the air as the drunken swordsman smashed the bowl.

No one else chimed in.

Qi Yingting remained motionless, seemingly unconcerned, staring blankly out the window at the street.

Soon, several cries of pain startled the passersby.

The two swordsmen who had uttered those arrogant words were thrown out of the restaurant.

They also searched their belongings, took out the money for the meal, and added compensation for the dishes.

"Good! Well done, shopkeeper!"

People in the lobby applauded, praising the swift action, which quickly turned into cheers.

As the commotion subsided, the shopkeeper bowed, raised his hand, and loudly announced:

"May the venerable monk protect us! We will never allow Xuanyang Temple to be humiliated!"

"I am honored to have the support of all you heroes today, so I, Old Zhu, will present each table with a pot of fine wine!"

"May everyone have a great time!"

"Excellent!! Shopkeeper, you're so righteous!"

The waiter then brought drinks to each table one after another, while constantly saying auspicious words. People at neighboring tables even clinked glasses with each other, creating a very lively atmosphere.

"Sir, please enjoy this fine pear blossom wine!" A more composed waiter also sent a pot upstairs to each of the private rooms.

Lianzi accepted it and thanked him in a deep voice.

Then, the door was gently closed.

The atmosphere inside remained subdued, and no one was in the mood for drinking.

Although the so-called treasures of the Eastern Capital were closely related to them, their worries inevitably intensified.

Those two swordsmen must have been to Xuanyang Temple, but were turned away and had to turn back.

If such a population continues to grow, unrest will inevitably occur sooner or later.

If it's true, as the rumors say, that the winner takes the treasure, he'll likely find it hard to escape the pursuit of others.

"Don't be discouraged! Come on, everyone, try this smoked fish, it has a wonderful flavor!" Chang Yin greeted everyone with a smile.

His injuries were almost completely healed, and he felt incredibly refreshed.

Interacting with Ami always radiates a dazzling glow of happiness.

It burned those two people who were trapped in emotional turmoil.

Even among the zodiac signs who rarely experience heartbreak, each has their own thorny issues.

Zhong Hai silently ate his rice. He used to love discussing cooking methods, but now he dared not say much, only proving with his actions that Chang Yin was right.

The smoked fish is being devoured at an alarming rate.

The two steady individuals, Lianzi and Chou, besides considering Qi Yingting's safety, also felt a mixture of caution and pity for this last zodiac sign.

Zhonghai was practically raised by them, how could he have fallen into this foolish trap?

Both Ku You and Ze Xu are by nature people who don't like to meddle in other people's business.

With their extraordinary insensitivity, they focused entirely on the possible competition in Dongdu. They even curled up slightly around each other, as if afraid that their master wouldn't choose them to fight.

Look around,

Only Xia Youmi was single-minded.

She occupies the most inconspicuous link in the martial arts ecosystem. Apart from eating, drinking, and recuperating, she spends her time researching how to improve the martial arts foundation of older players.

His interest in scaling walls and rooftops surpassed everything else.

Unfortunately, his health deteriorated further after being poisoned.

No matter how hard you try to improve, it's only to offset the damage first, to prevent yourself from becoming a big sieve, leaking everything you learn.

Chang Yin silently changed her cultivation method and occasionally slipped her a few nourishing pills, saying that they were leftovers from his own recuperation, without giving her any psychological burden.

He spends his days laughing and joking, telling stories of江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) in a joking tone.

He would also tease Xia Youmi, asking her to tell stories of her childhood and gossip about Qi Yingting's childhood.

However, as they talked, Changyin would sense that Xiao Ami was being oppressed. She wanted to learn martial arts now, but was not allowed to because she was a child.

He was defined by his own mother as a servant.

She finally had a father who was somewhat considerate, but he died young after her mother's passing.

She was relegated to a secondary, unimportant position, which is why she ended up with that cold, expressionless look.

"Waaah, poor Ami." Changyin thought that if he hid and cried, no one would see him.

Little did anyone know that Xia Youmi's screen would be "accidentally" switched every year.

Unfortunately, I saw it.

To make matters worse, Qi Yingting passed by Chang Yin from behind and inexplicably received a resentful look. Confused, he even came to tell Xia Youmi that she should give Chang Yin a little more attention.

It's truly both laughable and absurd.

......

On the day of their arrival in the Eastern Capital, they encountered a parade convoy.

It was the Third Prince Yan Yunming, who currently enjoys the highest prestige among the candidates for succession, who was receiving blessings from the people.

He was over thirty years old and was an ordinary person in his early years.

In terms of lineage, he was preceded by the eldest prince born to the empress, making him the emperor's most senior son, whose every word and action was no less than that of the current emperor.

In terms of achievements, his performance in the internal selection was not the most outstanding in previous years. The descendants of several princesses and the emperor's uncles were all excellent and had the ability to manage the world.

It wasn't until the old emperor fell ill repeatedly in recent years that the third prince, Yan Yunming, began to appear in public.

The emperor made no attempt to conceal his favoritism.

Even though he himself did not have the power to decide on his successor, he did use a lot of methods to promote him and publicize his achievements.

For example, this parade was to commend the Third Prince for uncovering a corruption case.

It not only eliminates suffering for the people, but also replenishes the national treasury.

The common people were used to it.

Every year, the Third Prince would take down several corrupt officials, and he would even take care of the Yan family members.

At the same time, it also ensures fairness in handling matters.

They are both strict and impartial, and will not let the core perpetrators of evil go unpunished.

He also showed mercy, only arranging for his wife and children, who were unaware of the situation, to be exiled to a small island to start a new life.

In the eyes of ordinary people on the Nebula Continent, the Third Prince was the one who truly stood on the side of serving the country and its people.

Therefore, when the old emperor granted him the privilege of parading through the streets of the Eastern Capital, many people would spontaneously maintain order and participate in this grand event, giving a clear warning to the lawbreakers hiding in the shadows.

Once Xia Youmi and the others entered the city, they had no choice but to wait on the street. The procession was about to pass by, and with the crowd surging, they had nowhere to escape.

Arriving in the Eastern Capital is not as relaxing as in the Western Capital.

Those entering the city are not allowed to use their light-footed skills at will; there will be a special guard to intercept them.

If they cannot explain it, they will be treated as thieves immediately.

People in the martial arts world can enjoy sparring in dedicated training grounds or within the city's sects.

If they don't restrain themselves...

Specially made crossbows are indiscriminate; even if the guards shoot them, they are not guilty.
