The leader of the cultivation alliance has a crush on me.

Feng Jisu's impression of Song Ke was still that of a little follower who didn't have much presence behind Song Chen. But this time, she noticed a difference: "Second Miss Song, please speak frankly. Asking for calligraphy is really serious."

Song Ke didn't beat around the bush: "Those two children are homeless. Could you arrange a place for them in Fengmeng City?"

Actually, Song Ke could have taken them back to Lanyue Peak, but she thought that since she wasn't from here and would leave sooner or later, there would be no one to take care of them then. It would be more convenient to settle them down nearby.

Seeing that Xiao Yin always carries her little machete, one can guess that she must be a sentimental child, as Lan Yue Peak is really too far from here.

Feng Jisu chuckled after hearing this: "That's easy. I'll have someone take them back to Fengmeng City to settle them in. We have things to do right now, and things could change at any time, so it's not appropriate for them to come along."

"What do you think, Miss Song?" Feng Jisu raised her hand and elegantly took a sip of tea, her face full of inquiry.

Song Ke breathed a sigh of relief. It would be even better if the arrangements could be made immediately. She expressed her sincere gratitude: "That's wonderful. I'll trouble Young City Lord Feng to make the arrangements."

Feng Jisu smiled and said, "Speaking of which, this was also a mistake on our part, Fengmeng City. Now you are the one making amends for us."

"I'd like to offer you a toast." Song Ke poured herself a cup of tea and raised it in a gesture of respect.

Feng Jisu chuckled and raised his glass as well: "I never thought Miss Song was such an interesting person before."

Song Ke smiled and said, "Young Master Feng probably didn't know me before."

Feng Jisu shook his head: "I'm not familiar with her, but I'm not completely ignorant of her. I've heard a bit about the reputation of Miss Song at the foot of Lanyue Peak. To win their favor and respect, she must have put in a sincere effort."

Song Ke was a little embarrassed by the praise: "It was just what I could do."

When Song Ke returned to the room, Song Chen had already packed up most of their things. They had just finished dinner when someone knocked on the door.

Little Silver asked reluctantly, "Sister, are you really going to send us away?"

After saying that, her little face became conflicted again as she said, "Sister, we can't bear to part with you."

Song Ke squatted down and patted her head: "I'm also reluctant to part with you, but I have things to do. If I take you with me, I might not be able to protect you well."

"Be a good girl, live well in Fengmeng City, and I'll come to see you when I'm done with my work, okay?"

Little Silver's face was all wrinkled, but even though she wasn't very happy, she still nodded sensibly: "Then you must come to see me, sister. I'll be waiting for you."

After she finished speaking, she noticed the boy who had been standing silently to the side. Xiao Yin tugged at the boy's sleeve and said, "My brother and I will wait for you to come."

Song Ke noticed that the little boy just had a somber face, didn't speak, and didn't show much resistance. After thinking for a moment, Song Ke still gave him a word of advice: "I know you're careful, but it's very chaotic outside right now. As you've seen, you might run into monsters like that. If you want to keep your life, stay in Fengmeng City quietly. After this period is over, you can leave or stay as you please."

The little boy remained silent. Song Ke sighed, "Those who didn't know your personality probably thought you were mute."

Xiao Yin smiled and said, "Brother isn't mute, brother is very good."

Song Ke nodded: "Yes, I didn't mean to say anything bad about him, it's just that his expression is easy to make people dislike him."

"Have you said enough bad things about me to my face?" The little boy suddenly spoke, startling Song Ke.

When they went out, Song Ke carried a bag, and Song Chen also carried quite a lot. When Zhu Changhe saw this, he thought for a moment and plucked a piece of his own fingernail. The long, hard fingernail instantly transformed into a short sword, which he handed to the little boy: "This short sword is for you to use for self-defense."

After saying that, Zhu Changhe looked at the little girl again, squatted down to be level with her, looked at her for a few seconds and said, "Although I don't really like you, I'll give you a gift since Song Ke likes you so much."

Little Silver blinked her big, innocent eyes and nodded knowingly: "I know."

"If you don't like me, I don't want your gift."

"You shouldn't give gifts you don't like."

Song Ke chuckled as she listened, comforting Xiao Yin: "Xiao Yin, if Princess Changhe really didn't like you, she wouldn't have thought of giving you a gift."

"You should know that anyone who has the idea of ​​giving a gift hopes that the recipient will be happy."

Zhu Changhe raised her hand and grabbed a light blue gauze robe. She held it up and bowed slightly, handing it to Xiao Yin with an air of haughtiness: "This dragon scale gauze is for you. It will protect you from evil spirits and ensure your lifelong peace."

Xiao Yin stared blankly at the dragon scale gauze in front of her. The gauze robe was light blue in color, and it was covered with tiny, shimmering gold threads that rose and fell, making it very beautiful.

Yun Zhi looked surprised, not expecting Zhu Changhe to be so generous. She joked, "Princess Changhe is so generous, what I gave her is rather inadequate."

"However, dragon scales are precious, and ordinary people can hardly obtain even one. You actually had the heart to pluck out your own immature scale. It seems you really don't like Little Silver."

Song Ke: "???"

Little Silver: "..."

"It's getting late. Let them leave early so they can still get to Fengmeng City to rest."

Feng Jisu nodded: "Let's go. Anyway, we'll arrive in Fengmeng City soon, and we'll meet again someday."

Xiao Yin was about to get into the carriage when she suddenly stopped, quickly ran back, hugged Song Ke, and said with a hopeful look on her face, "Sister, don't forget you promised to come see us."

You absolutely must come!

Song Ke patted her head: "It will come."

The group watched the carriage disappear into the crowd before turning back.

After staying in the town for five days to confirm that there were no traces of extraterrestrial remnants in the vicinity, a group of cultivators from Fengmeng City were left to guard the area before setting off for Fengmeng City.

Fengmeng City truly lives up to its reputation as a gathering place for aristocratic families. The city walls are made of stacked bluestones as tall and wide as a person, and the gate is made of bronze. On one side of the gate is a giant holding a battle axe, with a fierce face and a large black snake wrapped around his body, flicking his tongue in the direction the battle axe is about to strike. He looks both eerie and majestic, and inexplicably makes people feel oppressed.

On the other side was a man in full armor, handsome in appearance but with murderous intent in his eyes. He held a longsword as tall as himself, with a dragon coiled around its blade and a hilt shaped like a bamboo joint, yet exuding the texture of black iron, making it terrifying to look directly at.

This was the first time Song Ke had ever seen such a magnificent city gate. She glanced at it a few more times, but Feng Jisu kindly reminded her, "Second Miss Song, you must not look directly at it like that."

Song Ke withdrew her gaze, regained her composure, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, this is my first time in Fengmeng City."

"Let's go, it's still early. We can explore the city a bit more after we've made the arrangements."

Yun Zhi listened with a satisfied look: "That's really good. It's been a long time since I've been to Fengmeng City. I'm really craving your Fengmeng City crispy sweet duck."

Feng Jisu smiled gently: "If Miss Yun would do me the honor, I would be happy to be her money bag."

Zhu Changhe laughed and said, "What? Only Yun Zhi got a share, and the rest of us missed out?"

Feng Jisu chuckled and tried to salvage the situation, saying, "I misspoke. If you all have time later, please come with me to Qiandu Tower to enjoy the local delicacies and experience the flavors of Fengmeng City."

Zhu Changhe then smiled and said, "Young City Lord Feng, you'd better prepare plenty of money today."

Everyone laughed and cheered. Everyone knew that no matter who they were, even a tiny hair or scale plucked from their body was priceless and excellent material for refining weapons.

The City Lord's Mansion of Fengmeng City is located in the east of the city, while the Ancestral Temple is behind the City Lord's Mansion. There stands a tall tower with four ferocious beasts at its four corners, which act as both guardians and imprisoners. Blood-red banners with runes are hung between the rock layers of the tower, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach them.
