The front hall courtyard of the General Mansion was the most lively place in the entire General Mansion, and there were always people coming and going, but today it seemed particularly deserted under Ouyang Zhe's instruction. Even if there were any urgent things to pass by here, he would choose to take a detour, as if this place had become the unique world of Han Xuan and Shangguan Lingxue, a pair of lovers.
Even Shangguan Lingxue, who had lived here for several years, did not feel anything strange because of her own. However, this sweet and peaceful artistic conception finally ended. A light cough sounded, Ouyang Fu walked out with a smile and said, "Miss Xueer, I really can't bear to disturb the two of you. But it was not too early. The general has prepared food and food to greet Mr. Han Xuan. See if it's better to eat and chat."
Shangguan Lingxue finally recovered her fair face, blushed again in the old man's words, and said to Han Xuan softly: "Let's go, let others wait for a long time, I don't know what they are going to say again."
But Han Xuan seemed indifferent and laughed: "Let's go, Uncle Lao Fu leads the way."
The three of them walked through the front hall to a pavilion in the back house. Not many people were waiting here, only Ouyang Zhe, Venerable Huo Ling and Commander Lu. The stone table in the pavilion was filled with wine and food. Ouyang Zhe waved his hand and asked the servants who were guarding the side and serving at any time to retreat. Only the housekeeper Afu was left among the servants.
Seeing Han Xuan and the other two coming, Ouyang Zhe signaled everyone to the table. Uncle Fu immediately filled the wine for everyone present. Ouyang Zhe raised the wine glass in his hand and smiled and said, "There is no outsider at this time, Ah Fu, you don't need to look like a servant. We have been old brothers for many years. I have not regarded you as a servant over the years. You and Xiao Lu are my right-hand arm. I am like your family. Today, Xiao Xuan is here, Xueer is also happy. He also knows Mr. Huo Lin. Come and drink this cup full!"
Master Huo Ling had never received such a treat. At this time, he was very excited to drink the wine in the glass and said with an unsatisfactory look: "Master Ouyang is polite. Huo Lin is just a person who has never seen the world. How can you afford to use words like sir? Just call me Huo Lin."
"Haha, okay, I'll call you Huolin. You and Han Xuan are friends, but I'm particularly kind to you. As long as you don't mind, we can have a good relationship with each other. I don't like those who rely on their age to make a living, which is better."
Hearing Ouyang Zhe's words, Han Xuan was thinking in his heart: "If it were age, this guy would be your ancestor for hundreds of lives."
Of course, Han Xuan would not tell Huo Lin's true identity, but Ouyang Zhe made the atmosphere easier. The table of people, old and young seemed so harmonious, and there was no age gap at all. Especially Ouyang Zhe and Huo Lin kept talking and drinking, and soon Ouyang Zhe became a little drunk. On the contrary, Huo Lin was the original body, and some wine would not have any impact on him.
The food on the table was not eaten much, but the wine was drunk several jars. Afu and Captain Lu followed Ouyang Zhe for many years and knew him very well and knew that he never used Yuanli to relieve his alcoholic spirit. At this time, seeing that Ouyang Zhe became more and more drunk, the two hurriedly set him up to have a bedroom rest, one left and one right.
When the host left, the banquet would naturally not continue. Sure enough, a servant came to clean up the dishes and guided the location of the guest room for Han Xuan and Huolin. In the end, they were brought to the guest room at the request of Shangguan Lingxue. Although everything was simple, it was much better than ordinary wealthy families, especially this royal mansion, which was also decorated and comfortable.
Huo Lin lived in a room where humans lived for the first time. As soon as he entered the room, he looked around. Even Han Xuan and Shangguan Lingxue did not say hello. When he arrived at Han Xuan's room, Shangguan Lingxue did not stay for too long. When the two separated, they agreed to go to the Alchemy Guild together tomorrow.
Han Xuan turned alone again but no longer had the loneliness that he had often accompanied him in recent years. His always stable state of mind also caused some turbulence for a long time. Han Xuan took a long time to calm down from this joy. Although his Yuanli had been continuously broken through, his soul cultivation that had also been stuck for a long time also needed further breakthroughs.
But on such a night, even the pain brought by the soul division technique seemed insignificant. Han Xuan's soul successfully split the fourth and fifth soul divisions after a night of painful torture. At this time, he secretly compared the strength of his soul to the eighth soul master elder of the demon clan that he had seen, but his soul power had far surpassed it.
The only difference between Han Xuan and those formation talisman masters with War Lord level is that he has no ability to understand the laws of space and cannot refine formation talismans containing the laws of space. However, in the past, some formation talismans with high requirements for soul power can be easily refined.
The time for one night is nothing to Han Xuan now, as if it had passed in the blink of an eye. If it hadn't been for Shangguan Lingxue to go to the Alchemy Guild, Han Xuan would almost have wanted to continue like this. For some array talismans that had been longing for a long time but could not be refined due to insufficient soul power, Han Xuan seemed to master them faster. After all, even Han Xuan could not have been able to refine any array talismans immediately.
The morning of the Southern Fire Empire was not as refreshing as in other places. The temperature had risen very early. Han Xuan specially changed into clothes that he thought was very handsome today to go to the Alchemy Guild with Shangguan Lingxue. He did not take much attention to what he was going to do today, but he treated it like an important date after many years of missing Shangguan Lingxue.
When Han Xuan came out, he saw Shangguan Lingxue waiting in the front hall. But just as Han Xuan said hello and was about to go out, Huo Ling Venerable Huo Lin appeared at the gate. Seeing Han Xuan and the others planning to go out, he immediately pestered him and said, "What are you doing? Can you bring me with you?"
Shangguan Lingxue looked at Han Xuan with a smile, and Han Xuan scratched his head and said, "We are planning to go to the Alchemy Guild today. I want to ask about the Alchemy Competition in three months. If you are not an Alchemy Master, you can't get in there. You don't plan to go anywhere except where you are today."
Huo Lin felt slightly disappointed, but still said, "It's okay to take me out for a walk and see the world. Even if I don't let me in, I can wait for you at the door!"
"this…"
Just when Han Xuan was in a dilemma, he heard a hearty laughter coming from behind: "Brother Huolin, come on, I was in a bad state yesterday, so you would rather stay here to drink with me. I didn't expect that you were so young that you had such a good alcohol tolerance. If you think my house is not satisfied, why don't I take you to a big restaurant and find a place with a good scenery and sit down and drink for a while. You can go wherever you like, I'll be with you. Anyway, I have nothing to do."
The person who spoke was Ouyang Zhe. Huo Lin immediately became energetic when he heard this. He fell in love with this thing for the first time yesterday. Now, when he heard that Ouyang Zhe would take him everywhere to play and invite him to drink, he immediately left Han Xuan and the others behind, ran over to Ouyang Zhe, and kept asking where there is good wine to drink in the Southern Fire Empire.
Ouyang Zhe winked at Han Xuan and the others, and then he talked to Huolin about some unique good wines from the Southern Fire Empire. Han Xuan replied with gratitude and took Shangguan Lingxue to walk out of the door quickly, thinking: "Fortunately, Senior Ouyang came out, otherwise today's date would be smashed by Huolin's torch (the meaning of the light bulb)."
Ouyang Zhe's General's Mansion is already in the most prosperous area of the Southern Fire Empire, and is very close to some important institutions in the five empires, such as the Alchemy Guild, Mercenary Guild, etc. It didn't take long for Han Xuan and the others to leave the General's Mansion to arrive at the gate of the Alchemy Guild.
Looking at the eight-story building in front of him, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters and decorated with gorgeous decoration, Han Xuan saw that the luxury was no less than the imperial palace he had been to before. He finally knew what it means to be rich and powerful. Indeed, the wealth of the Alchemy Guild composed of the best alchemists in the continent is immeasurable. Even the major royal families will not be much richer than them. The difference is only the foundation.
There were also two guards at the gate of the War King level who seemed more majestic than the guards of the Ouyang Zhe Mansion. They kept looking at the passing pedestrians, as if they were standing guard here were superior. Han Xuan and the others walked up the steps and were about to enter the gate. One of the guards blocked the two of them and respectfully saluted Shangguan Lingxue and said, "Miss Shangguan has come so early. I don't know who this person is, but has the identity certificate of the Alchemy Guild?"
Through Shangguan Lingxue's voice transmission, Han Xuan knew that the so-called identity certificate was the fast identity brand issued by the Alchemy Guild that he obtained from Sima Zhuo. So he handed the sign to the guards and let the two of them go over. However, Han Xuan could see that when he saw that he had only an intermediate formation talisman master, the guard obviously showed a cold face. Of course, Han Xuan would not care about these with him.
