This place is fun

Chapter 143 Conflict
With Pingting's service, Su Daoshan washed his body, changed his clothes, and then went out.

When they arrived at the front yard, they saw Yue Shifeng, Yue Zhen, Lin Xuan and Zhu Xuekang, a dozen young men and women from aristocratic families, chatting and waiting in the open space in front of the study. When they saw Su Daoshan coming out, they all gathered around him with laughter.

Yue Shifeng raised his hand excitedly and was about to put his arm around Su Daoshan's shoulders to say something, but he saw Su Daoshan bowing in a serious manner: "Thank you brothers and sisters for waiting for a long time."

Yue Shifeng's hand suddenly stopped in the air, and he looked at everyone, and then they all bowed and greeted each other. Everyone's expression was a little bit amused. However, everyone knew that this was Su Daizi's personality, so it was not surprising.

Only Yue Zhen held back her laughter and gave Su Daoshan a cold look when no one was paying attention.

Just when Yue Shifeng was about to speak again, Yue Zhen took the lead and walked up to Su Daoshan as nimbly as a little deer and said, "Brother Daoshan, there are already many people outside the west gate. Not only have the reinforcements dispatched by Chongguang City arrived one after another, but disciples from major sects have also come here one after another. There are many well-known figures among them. This is a rare opportunity, let's go and take a look..."

Yue Shifeng opened his mouth, but found that his sister had said all the words he wanted to say, so he could only nod and say, "That's right. Usually we are all in different places, so it's rare to have such an opportunity. And..."

Before he could finish his words, Yue Zhen looked up at Su Daoshan with a smile in her eyes and said, "I heard that all the disciples from the nine major sects in Beijun will be back this time. Brother Daoyu and the others should be among them. I heard that you got up late today, and Su Yu, Daochun and Xixi have all gone there with Uncle Su."

Yue Shifeng's cheek twitched slightly, and he nodded, "Yes, yes."

The young men of the noble families had different expressions. Some of them smiled secretly and exchanged glances, while some of Yue Zhen's admirers had their eyes dimmed and felt sad.

As the pearl of Yishan City, Yue Zhen has more admirers than Zhou Qinghe. It can be said that among the children of aristocratic families, including larger families like the Mi family, there are countless young talents who have a different idea in mind.

Yue Zhen was always arrogant, and even towards Zhou Qinghe, she was distant. If she was annoyed, she would be rude and lose her temper.

Therefore, in the eyes of many noble families, the daughter of the Yue family was beautiful, but she was full of thorns, and her temperament was really not something that ordinary people could handle. Whenever the noble families got together, they always flattered and coaxed her, fearing that the daughter would be unhappy again.

But now, in front of Su Daoshan, Yue Zhen behaved like a girl next door with a sweet smile. Not only did she take the initiative to explain the situation to him, she even interrupted her brother. Especially after she walked over, she stood beside Su Daoshan in a coquettish manner, not caring about the eyes of the people around her...

If not everyone knew that Su Daoshan saved Yue Zhen's life and could use this to comfort themselves, I'm afraid countless young men's hearts would have been broken on the spot.

Su Daoshan noticed the changes in the expressions of the people around him. He seemed to be completely oblivious to Yue Zhen's enthusiasm, and only nodded seriously and said, "Then there is no time to lose, let's go quickly."

All the young men responded, turned around and walked out together in a lively manner.

At this moment, Yue Zhen took advantage of no one's attention and secretly pulled Su Daoshan's sleeve, causing him to fall behind by two steps. The next second, Su Daoshan felt his palm soften, and was held by a soft and boneless hand, and then he felt something was stuffed into it.

Su Daoshan was stunned and glanced at Yue Zhen. He looked down and saw a key and a piece of paper with an address in his hand. He asked calmly, "What is this?"

"I have my own little courtyard. Come over in the evening." Yue Zhen glanced at him quickly and said shyly.

Su Daoshan's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to refuse righteously, but he heard the little green tea girl whisper with a sad face: "Daddy asked me last night whose clothes I was wearing, what should I say?"

Su Daoshan's cheek twitched, but before he could speak, he heard her say quietly, "Also, Uncle Zhou came to our house last night and interrogated me several times, asking me if I knew how Zhou Qinghe died. I was so scared."

"Okay." Su Daoshan nodded and put the key away.

Yue Zhen chuckled, and walked happily to the front, like a blooming spring flower, and walked hand in hand with several young ladies from aristocratic families. At the end, she secretly turned back to glance at Su Daoshan, her eyes moving, and her face showing an expression of both shyness and joy.

"I want to see what you little devil are up to!" Su Daoshan looked straight ahead, with a righteous look.

The group walked out of the Su Mansion's gate.

At this moment, Sujiabao was already a bustling scene.

In front of the warehouse near the East Wheat Field, a long line of loaded and unloaded horse-drawn carriages formed, and strong laborers were working hard to carry the goods. The drivers took time to feed the horses, and the assistants and shopkeepers were busy counting and keeping accounts. From time to time, they would shout or loudly distribute something.

The open space in the fortress was filled with sacks and wood. Dozens of carpenters were sawing, planing, chopping, and hammering. A furnace was lit nearby. The apprentices used bellows to blow the fire up to a height of one meter. Blacksmiths were hammering with hammers and hammers, making a ping-pong sound.

The Su family already had woodworking and iron workshops. Now even the empty space in the fort has been temporarily set up, so it is conceivable that the workshops are now even busier than they can handle.

The women were also busy. The washed clothes and bedding were piled high, and had to be pulled back from the river by oxcarts to dry in the wheat field. Over the bonfire, there were racks and large pots hanging. Herbs were boiling in them. A strong smell filled the air.

Even many children are helping out now. The older ones are helping their mothers hang out clothes to dry, while the younger ones are watching over the fire and adding firewood. The younger ones can only cry loudly with mud all over their bodies. Occasionally, they are scolded by their busy mothers, picked up and put aside, stuffing food into their mouths, and then playing on their own.

Various sounds came one after another, continuously.

As soon as Su Daoshan stepped out of the door, he seemed to have entered a world full of steam. The vibrant and prosperous atmosphere was as if it had substance and was blowing in his face!

"Second Young Master!"

"Hello, Second Young Master."

When the residents near the gate saw Su Daoshan, they all smiled and greeted him respectfully. Under the tree nearby, a few old guys who were still idle and waiting to die, who usually looked at Su Daoshan with their noses and eyes, now smiled kindly.

At this time, Wang Tong had already prepared Su Daoshan's horse. Everyone got on their horses and rushed out of Sujiabao, heading towards the west gate.

******
"Twelve miles ahead, in the northeast direction, the Sixth Battalion of the Southern Regiment has discovered a large group of crazy puppets and has already moved forward to meet them."

"Three miles ahead, the crazy puppets in the west have been eliminated. The 11th and 15th Battalions of the Western Regiment are expanding their security range. You can pass safely."

On the official road from Chongguang City to Yishan City, an endless stream of messengers rode their horses at full speed, reporting loudly along the way.

On a small hill nearby, Xie Xunbai looked at the messenger soldiers flying by below, then looked at the hundreds of crazy puppet corpses in the wilderness in the distance and the Fiery Army troops that were expanding their cleanup range to the distance. He urged his horse and said to Fan Caiyi beside him, "Okay, let's go."

Fan Caiyi nodded, rode his horse downhill, and caught up with Xie Xunbai.

There is a long queue on the road.

There were various camps of the Fiery Army dispatched to Yishan City, convoys escorting supplies and food, and disciples from the sect whizzing by in groups of three or two.

"Your fourth uncle left before us, and he should be almost at Yishan City now," Xie Xunbai rode his horse slowly, his body swaying with the horse, "I heard that Xue Yu and the other guys recruited a personal disciple in Yishan City, and now he has become the headmaster's personal disciple. They are very dissatisfied and want to go and see this little junior brother."

Fan Caiyi frowned and said, "I don't know what that kid did. Why did the master suddenly send a message to accept him as a disciple?"

In a sect, there are three levels between outer disciples, inner disciples, and direct disciples. The status of each level is very different. Among direct disciples, the status of the master's direct disciples is higher than that of ordinary direct disciples.

The reason is very simple - just like the lineage of the eldest son and grandson of a family, the future leader of a sect, unless there is a special reason, will usually come from the sect leader's direct descendants.

Because of this, when Su Daoshan was accepted by Xie Xunbai, the disciples did not react. They all knew that to be accepted as a personal disciple, he must have extraordinary qualities. But yesterday, Hangu sent a message that the head of the sect, Wei Qikong, suddenly made a decision to personally accept Su Daoshan as a disciple, which caused a stir in the sect.

Everyone knows that the head of the sect, Wei Qikong, has always been lazy. Over the years, he has only accepted two disciples. One is the eldest brother who has gone to a super sect and is a secretive person. The other is the younger sister Fan Caiyi. But no one expected that Su Daoshan would appear now.

Everyone was very curious about what this boy had done.

Not only were other people curious, but even Fan Caiyi herself was somewhat curious. She and her fifth uncle Xie Xunbai reported everything about Su Daoshan to the sect. Logically speaking, who would accept Su Daoshan as a disciple would have to wait until Su Daoshan arrived at the sect before deciding.

The so-called teaching is in accordance with the students' aptitude. The elders in the sect each have their own characteristics and advantages, and their understanding of martial arts is also completely different. This requires the talents and personalities of the disciples to be compatible.

But who would have thought that within two days, Master Wei Qikong suddenly made a decision, which made Fan Caiyi a little confused for a while.

She just heard that Su Daoshan seemed to have made contributions in the past two days. But the sect didn't know what contributions he had made. She would know only when she went to Yishan City and found Su Daoshan.

"Your master is a man who never gives up until he sees something. He suddenly did this, he must have smelled something good," Xie Xunbai said with a smile, "He said that the boy had done a great deed, and asked me to go and ask him in person, I'm afraid the deed is not small. I guess it might be related to this Qingyun Secret Selection..."

Hearing this, Fan Caiyi's eyes flickered and she nodded in approval. No one knew her master's virtues better than her.

Xie Xunbai said leisurely: "I don't know what will happen to this kid after he enters the spiritual realm..."

At this point, Xie Xunbai remembered something and suddenly asked, "By the way, did you enter the spiritual realm last night?"

Fan Caiyi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Uncle Master, do you want to talk about the matter outside the domain?"

"It was quite a commotion," Xie Xunbai nodded. "A newcomer who appeared out of nowhere actually used a weapon that had never been seen before to slaughter more than fifty warriors by himself. Moreover, more than a dozen of them were from the fifth realm. The strongest one among them had a Dao Seed Combat Power of more than seventeen meters. The combat power of the others was also around fifteen meters..."

He tutted in disbelief and asked, "Do you know how big an earthquake this news caused?"

Fan Caiyi looked at him curiously.

"It can be said that the world has been turned upside down!" Xie Xunbai said decisively, "Now, various forces are trying to find out about this guy. The courts of various countries, Fengyuan Sect, and even the four super sects are involved. As for the military forces of various countries and forces like demon hunters, there are countless of them. It is rumored that the weapon this guy refined with his heart furnace is the legendary Xiao family's violent rain pear blossom nail..."

"The Xiao family?" Fan Caiyi opened her eyes wide, "Didn't the Xiao family already..."

"I think they are gone. Back then, all the forces joined forces to encircle and suppress them. There is no way that any fish could have escaped," Xie Xunbai said, stroking his chin. "Moreover, according to the information I got, the weapon they used to cut off the enemy if they couldn't reach an agreement was far more powerful than the Xiao family's Torrential Pear Blossom Nail."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "But this is not the point. The point is that the appearance of such a person and such a weapon is a very terrifying thing in itself. If he is really from the Xiao family, it is conceivable that there will be a bloody storm. Even if he is not from the Xiao family, since such a weapon can be created in the spiritual realm, there must be a real object in the real world. Otherwise, it can't be that he imagined it out of thin air...

"Anyway, it is said that if this kind of weapon were to appear in the world, almost no one would be able to resist it except for warriors above the third rank and extraordinary professions. It is not an exaggeration to say that it would change the rules. What is particularly terrifying is that no one knows whether this guy is a righteous man or a demon. If this kind of weapon falls into the hands of the You Clan..."

Having said this, Xie Xunbai's voice stopped abruptly.

And Fan Caiyi couldn't help but shiver.

After a long while, Xie Xunbai slowly said, "The sect has decided to do its best to find and contact this person. You should also pay more attention in the spiritual realm. I estimate that it won't be long before this person enters the fifth spiritual realm."

"Yes." Fan Caiyi nodded. She is currently in the Fifth Spiritual Realm. Moreover, she has certain connections and power.

However, even if they were from the same sect, everyone's identity in the spiritual realm was kept secret. The sect would not ask, and everyone would keep silent. Only when the sect needed it, they would communicate and cooperate with each other in this way.

"Let's go," Xie Xunbai was about to speed up after finishing talking about the important matters, but suddenly he slowed down and asked, "Wanchang City..."

"Without the extraordinary warriors, it's useless to go." Fan Caiyi said, "Our people are watching, and it seems that there is no change so far."

"Ah That's good."

******
Sujiabao was originally located in the northwest of Yishan City, very close to the west gate.

A few minutes later, Su Daoshan and a group of young men from aristocratic families rode out of the west city gate.

As soon as they came out of the 200-meter-long city gate, a magnificent picture unfolded before their eyes. On the north side of the west gate, a huge camp had taken shape, starting from the city wall.

Ever since the Dingzi Camp discovered the You Clan wormhole in the abandoned ancient city of Kelunburg the day before, the Chongguang City Camp has ordered Yishan City to be used as the rear base in this direction. Although the personnel and supplies had not yet arrived, the city lord Zhu Ziming knew the importance of the matter and immediately mobilized the entire city, assigned tasks, and began to build the camp.

Once the construction starts, it will continue day and night.

In two days, rows of barracks were built. The camp that has been completed is enough to accommodate nearly 5,000 people from ten camps. Moreover, the speed of construction is still accelerating.

When Su Daoshan and others arrived, they found that many troops had already been stationed in the camp.

A large number of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Fiery Army and local militia groups were either tidying up the rooms and making the beds; or assigning their duties and patrolling; or taking off their armor and horses and cooking; or accepting assignments and joining in the construction of the camp.

For a moment, all I could see were troops with flags flying in an endless stream on the roads to the west and south. Soldiers from the camps were coming in and out, shoulder to shoulder. The sounds of people shouting and horses neighing were endless.

Compared with the small Sujiabao, it is more than ten times more spectacular and more than a hundred times more lively.

However, the leader Yue Shifeng did not stop. Instead, he led Su Daoshan and the other family members to rush towards the West Gate Guard Fort a few kilometers away. It was said that the camps of the major sects were located there.

Soon, everyone was guarding the fort.

When they were still guarding the outskirts of the fort, the children of the noble families could not help but shout loudly with excitement.

"Look, that's the flag of the Nanjun Liuli Pavilion. Wow, the woman in the light yellow clothes in the middle, could she be Liao Qingsi, who is also known as the Seven-Colored Liuli?"

"Look here, look here. That's Lu Shaoyue from Xijun. He's only 23 years old, but he's already at the peak of the seventh rank. He uses the cold sword to perfection. It's said that he has the spiritual root of agriculture, so he can take advantage of the weather and the terrain. When fighting him, it's like being in a fog."

"And here, look..."

There were too many people, so when they got close to the garrison, they had to dismount and walk. Along the way, they saw sects arriving one after another, and if they knew someone, they would introduce themselves to them.

In this world, counties, cities, and different sects are usually far apart, isolated like islands. Now that they are at the grand event, seeing many legendary geniuses with their own eyes, the children of the noble families are so excited that their faces turn red.

If they were not the landlords, they would have to consider the reputation of the local sect and the dignity of the noble family. Many of them would have rushed up to make friends with them.

Especially the daughters of wealthy families, chirping like happy magpies.

However, just as everyone was looking around and talking, there was a commotion in front of them. Someone in the crowd shouted, "Quick, the East County Yunjing Sect and the North County Mohu Sword Sect are fighting!"
