Volume Two, Ten Chapter Seventeen, Weiyuan Chamber of Commerce
Seeing everyone looking at her in confusion, Lu Xiaoyao realized that her words were ambiguous because of her impatience, so she glanced at Zuo Sisi shyly:
"I mean, I also want to go to Xijing to put down the rebellion."
Without waiting for anyone to ask questions, she immediately explained:
"Chaoxi, don't blame me. You and Brother Bailiming went to the Northern Wilderness. The journey was dangerous, and my strength is mediocre, so I can't help you at all. I'm not afraid of danger, but I'm worried that going there will drag you down."
"So, going to Xijing to practice on the battlefield will help me play my role better, and... I can also help Brother Zuo."
As early as when everyone went to Tianquan Palace and Baoshan Hunting Ground for training, Zuo Sisi and Zhou Jiang were like fighting peacocks in front of Lu Xiaoyao, trying to win her favor.

In fact, she had fallen in love with Zuo Sisi at that time, but the death of General Zhou made her fall into guilt and self-blame, and she was unable to resolve the knot.
But now she has figured it out, she has already lost someone who loves her, and if she remains closed off, she will lose another person she loves.
This result was cruel to both the dead General Zhou and the living Zuo Sisi.
Therefore, I am no longer confused and face it bravely.
Yuan Chaoxi stepped forward and took Lu Xiaoyao's hand, saying angrily:
"Xiaoyao, what are you talking about? How could I blame you?"
"Actually, even if you don't say it, I still want to stop you from going to Beihuang with us. Since you took the initiative to say it, then I will just be a favor, haha, and I will do as you say."
Zuo Sisi and Lu Xiaoyao had to wait for a few days in Taichang, the capital, to set off with the army because they were going on the expedition.
On the second day, Bai Liming and Yuan Zhaoxi left the capital and rushed to Yaoguang Palace under the reluctant eyes of Zuo Sisi and Lu Xiaoyao.
On the flying boat, Yuan Chaoxi broke the silence:

"Baili, how did you defeat Qi Xiongfeng with such strength that he reached the late stage of Gongqian Realm?"
Bailiming scratched his head and said embarrassedly:
"Defeating him was not as easy as imagined. When he used the Flower Realm, I was also hit at first, but soon my soul noticed something strange and woke up."
"After that, I used illusion skills to escape from the realm of flowers, and observed the flaws of this technique from the sidelines. It should be that his soul power was not as powerful as mine, so he never discovered my true body until I finally captured him.
live."
After Yuan Chaoxi looked him up and down, he asked doubtfully:
"What state are you in now?"
"My current state is very strange. I should be in the middle stage of the Gongqian state, but I have not yet refined my natal spiritual object. But the power of the soul can reach the perfection of the Gongqian state, which may be the ultimate state."
Bailiming shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I'm like an uneven barrel. Some boards are long and some are short, so I'm still looking for ways to make up for the shortcomings."
"However, the worship service gave me some inspiration. I think I will soon be able to refine my natal spiritual objects and truly reach the realm of humility."
Yuan Chaoxi said with some resentment: "Oh, the gap with you is getting bigger and bigger, which makes me feel lazy and discouraged."

Bai Liming was about to say a few words of relief when Yuan Chaoxi laughed proudly and said:
"Haha, did you lie to me? I won't give up easily."
"I might as well tell you that fighting against Na Qi, especially in the realm of flowers, because of my desperate resistance in the face of adversity, has made my soul stronger. I should be able to break through soon."
Seeing the bright smile of the girl in front of him, Bai Liming had mixed feelings in his heart. Yuan Zhaoxi showed a carefree and cheerful look, maybe just to hide the pain in his heart, but it was not a way to relieve the pain in his heart.
He took a long breath. Since he was depressed inside, if he couldn't extricate himself from it, it would only make the pain more intense, so it was better to jump out.
The two depressed people looked at each other and laughed immediately.
…
Two days later, a continuous mountain range, like a huge city wall, appeared in front of them. This was the Northern Mountains.
This mountain range is bounded by the sea in the east and the desert in the west. The land of Shanyang is the Middle Earth, and the land of Shanyin is the Northern Wasteland.
There are a series of large and small passes and beacon towers distributed on the northern mountain range, the largest of which is the Demon-Zhan Pass to the north of Yaoguang Palace.

The siege city of Xiongguan here is built along the mountain. The northern end of the siege city is connected to the east and west wings of the city respectively. There is a city gate facing the northern wasteland.
To the south, the siege extends along the ridge to the valley floor to encircle the city. There is also a city gate built at the encirclement, facing the middle of the earth.
To the south of Demon Killing Pass, there is a Thousand Blades Peak rising from the ground, reaching up to the sky. The dangerous peak stands tall and daunting, and the Dao Sect Yaoguang Palace is located on it.
The two collected the flying boat outside the mountain range, took off their Taoist robes, changed into ordinary clothes, and followed the road in the mountain canyon to a place five miles outside the city of Demon Killing Pass.
At this time, a caravan was stopping to rest on the roadside. It was a caravan consisting of more than thirty carriages and nearly two hundred people.
Some people were drinking tea and resting, some were packing their goods, and some were brushing their horses' hair... as if they were preparing to enter the Demon Slaying Pass.
Bai Liming and Yuan Zhaoxi saw the flag of the "Weiyuan Chamber of Commerce" flying on the carriage and stepped forward.
At this time, a guard on guard outside noticed the two of them and came up to them.
Bai Liming smiled and asked: "Brother, may I ask Wang Ming, is shopkeeper Wang here?"
The guard looked at the two of them warily and asked in a stiff tone: "Who are you? What do you want from our shopkeeper?"

Bai Liming took out a letter and handed it over:
"The two of us are the bodyguards sent by the Federation, and we are here to report. This is the letter voucher, please let me know."
The guard took the letter and walked to a carriage, said a few words, and handed over the letter. Not long after, a tall and thin old man stepped out of the carriage and came quickly.
The old man smiled with a smile on his face and bowed his hands in greeting:
"But Bai Chongfang and Wen Chongfang? I've been waiting for you to come. Come on, let's go to the car and talk."
Bai Liming and Yuan Zhaoxi also hurriedly returned the gift, even saying they didn't dare to accept it, and then followed the old man to the carriage.
This time, the two of them disguised themselves and concealed their identities, thanks to Zuo Sisi's arrangement.
This caravan is affiliated with the Weiyuan Chamber of Commerce, which ranks among the top three in the capital. The Chamber of Commerce was founded by several princes at one time, including Zuo Sisi's father An Wang.
In this way, the two people were successfully assigned their current identities - enshrined members of the Weiyuan Chamber of Commerce.
And in order to facilitate the two of them to act alone, they also mentioned in the letter:

"This time the two worshipers followed the caravan into the Northern Wilderness. One is to protect the safety of the caravan, and the other is to perform a secret mission. They must not be leaked to the outside world."
Therefore, Shopkeeper Wang immediately burned the letter in front of Bai Liming and Yuan Chaoxi, making them sigh at his prudence and seriousness.
Then the caravan set off and successfully entered the Demon-Slaying Pass. After stopping for a while and handling various exit documents, it headed towards the Northern Wilderness in a mighty manner.
After passing through the long and somewhat gloomy north gate of Demon-Zhan Pass, the empty and vast Gobi wasteland comes into view.
Smelling the slightly dry air, Bai Liming and Yuan Chaoxi's hearts arose slightly, and they looked far into the distance.
One is to the north and the other is further north.
