Iron Sword City is very different from Lingyun City. If Lingyun City is a small village, then Iron Sword City is a prosperous capital city.
Perhaps because of the proximity to the battlefield, everyone, whether they were troops or pedestrians, looked sideways at the unfamiliar faces of Xie Lingjun's group who looked relatively relaxed, and everyone had a murderous look on their faces.
After walking far away and losing sight of the city gate, Mulan looked at Xie Lingjun with a hint of teasing, and chatted with Xie Lingjun in a very low voice.
"Why did you look so natural just now? Both of your faces look so disgusting..." Mulan recalled the previous conversation between Xie Lingjun and the bearded city guard, and felt a sense of disgust in her heart.
"You don't understand, the worldly knowledge is a matter of knowledge!" Xie Lingjun felt not ashamed but proud.
"Is this still knowledge? Who did you learn it from?" Mulan asked in confusion.
"If I were the city lord of Iron Sword City, the city guards represent the face of the city and must be impartial. For a person like this to be the leader of a small group of city guards shows that this city is very corrupt and that it actually allowed me to
People like this come right in..." Xie Lingjun said with disdain.
"Haha...what? Is it wrong to let you in?" Mulan said with a smile.
"Well... not really..." Xie Lingjun was thinking about what he was going to say as he walked.
"Hmph, you have done all the good and bad things, why are you still being pretentious?" the Ice Snake King said with a puzzled look on his face.
"Haha, this is... it's okay. Just understand the situation here clearly. It will definitely be useful in the future." Xie Lingjun smiled easily and stopped thinking about this issue.
"Actually... I'm very curious about what kind of person you will become..." Mulan looked at Xie Lingjun's profile and murmured.
"Well... I don't know..." After hearing Mulan's words, Xie Lingjun was suddenly stunned for a moment, and without looking back, he continued confusedly: "Look... the water will naturally straighten up when it reaches the bridge. You will know later..."
"The relationships you are involved in now are complicated. Sometimes, you will be forced to become one kind of person..." Mulan said, her eyes gradually filled with worry.
"What did you say?"
Xie Lingjun turned around suddenly, with a complicated look on his face, ranging from shock to unwillingness. Mulan was startled by Xie Lingjun's sudden move.
"I can understand what she said." The Ice Snake King looked at Mulan and nodded.
"Can't you talk to me carefully? Why do you all like to do this kind of riddles..." Xie Lingjun said helplessly.
"If you don't even know what you want to do in the future, then what I said before about following you has no meaning!"
The Ice Snake King stared at Xie Lingjun expressionlessly, but Xie Lingjun could also understand that what the Ice Snake King said was indeed the truth. Xie Lingjun glanced at Mulan, the Ice Snake King and the Wind-Tearing Python in front of him, hesitating in his heart.
Closing his eyes and sinking his mind, Xie Lingjun breathed a long sigh of relief and decided to reveal his feelings to the people in front of him.
"I came here in a daze, and was inexplicably involved in a whirlpool of right and wrong. I escaped from death several times. All this time, I was alone. If we hadn't met my senior brother, maybe I wouldn't have met either.
What happens next..."
"At the beginning, I just wanted to practice slowly and maybe achieve my original dream..."
"But when I saw my senior brother's self-blame and anger, and Lao Xie's righteousness and final entrustment, I knew that I could no longer ignore it..."
"The ten-year agreement with my senior brother now only has nine years left. With the blood feud carried by my bloodline and the hatred of annihilation carried by my inheritance, the road ahead of me will definitely be bumpy..."
"Actually... I'm just a mediocre person... Sometimes, I don't want to continue to bear the burden on my shoulders. I also think about giving up and feel confused..."
"When my old...father disappeared in front of my eyes, I felt very powerless. I couldn't do anything to help my heart..."
"I am an orphan, but I have experienced the love of my relatives, the high hopes of my classmates, and the love of my friends... This kind of fate is a bastard, leaving me with the only way to face my fate..."
"Mulan knows that my blood oath is to protect. I want to protect the people around me and prevent them from receiving any harm..."
"You asked me today what my future is... I can't tell you clearly. I can only say that I want to use my greatest strength to protect everyone around me..."
The more Xie Lingjun talked, the more excited he became. From being depressed at the beginning to being impassioned later, in Mulan's eyes, everything about Xie Lingjun touched her heart. There was only one thing in her heart that wanted to hold this confused but determined man and give him a hand.
Bring a touch of warmth.
The Ice Snake King and the Wind-Tearing Python were also moved after hearing this. The Ice Snake King had a cold temperament and did not reveal much, while the Wind-Tearing Python also nodded with pleasure.
"That's it? A first-grade spiritual person is also talking nonsense here...Son, you have to practice hard! Otherwise, you will be like this fool..."
There was a burst of ridicule from around, disrupting everyone's mood. Xie Lingjun took a look and saw a middle-aged woman pulling aside the eight or nine-year-old child next to her, pointing at Xie Lingjun, and took the candied haws in the child's hand.
He grabbed it and kept educating his children.
Apparently, Xie Lingjun's words had just reached the ears of the people around him. When the love got stronger, it had to be said that Xie Lingjun realized that his group of people were still on the street. It was no wonder that someone was ridiculing them.
"What did you say?" Mulan looked at the woman and said coldly.
"Are you looking for death?" The wind-removing python also released its spiritual pressure and swept towards the woman.
Among these people now, the ones who hate hearing bad things about Xie Lingjun the most are Mulan and Wind-Tearing Python. Needless to say, Mulan’s reason is that Wind-Tearing Python is nominally Xie Lingjun’s subordinate, not to mention relying on Xie Lingjun’s help to chase the man in front of him.
Beautiful snake.
Mulan's murderous aura and the spiritual pressure of the Wind-Removing Python caused the temperature on the entire street to drop a few points.
When the woman saw that Mulan and the wind-shredding python were not easy to deal with, she felt bad: Oh! Which young master is out on the street to observe the public sentiment?
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding..."
The woman repeatedly begged for mercy, grabbed her child, turned around and ran away quickly.
"Where to run!"
"OK OK!"
How could Mulan let go? Just when she was about to chase after him, Xie Lingjun pulled her down and comforted her, as if it was Mulan who was being scolded and not Xie Lingjun.
Feeling the strange but frightened looks coming from around him, Xie Lingjun knew not to be too ostentatious, so he quickly pulled Mulan and escaped with the Wind-Removing Python and the Ice Snake King.
Iron Sword City is huge, and Xie Lingjun and his party ran for a while before setting off from the city gate and walking towards Tianyuan City.
