"Xiaoyu, they are following us."

Lin Luoxi looked back from the car worriedly.

"It's okay, Sister Luoxi, don't pay attention to them."

Lin Tianyu closed his eyes and rested peacefully.

"Is it because of me?"

"No, because of the Qin family."

"The Qin family?"

“Well, I don’t know where, but you, Zi Ruoya, and Su Yaxin have been targeted, and the Qin family wants to take action against you.”

Lin Tianyu did not lower his voice.

Su Yaxin and Zi Ruoya also looked over.

"But you don't have to be afraid. This is the imperial capital. They won't do anything rash. If they want to take us away, they will find an excuse. Let's find a place to rest first. When we get to the Lin family in the inner city, everything will be solved."

The carriage continued to move forward.

The Jinyiwei followed closely behind.

After following for a whole day, Lin Tianyu and others got off the car and found a place to rest.

The Jinyiwei also took a rest together.

Until the next day, everyone gradually approached the inner city.

It is different from the outer city where one can enter at will.

To enter the inner city, one must pay three high-quality spirit stones.

However, if you own a house or land in the inner city, you can enter and exit for free.

Lin Tianyu didn't want to reveal his identity here, and it would be difficult to explain, so he handed over twelve top-grade spirit stones to the guard at the gate.

Compared with the outer city, the streets in the inner city are wider, enough for more than ten carriages to travel side by side.

Moreover, the inner city is not like the outer city. It has all kinds of buildings and is very messy.

The buildings here are neatly arranged, with countless streets and houses standing side by side, interconnected and well connected.

Moreover, almost all the building stones are of uniform construction, using expensive bluestone, which is an auxiliary stone produced together with the spirit stone and can emit bright starlight in the dark.

Not only the buildings, but even the streets are paved with slabs made of polished bluestone.

In this way, at night, the inner city will be filled with starlight because of the bluestone and will never be dark.

Therefore, the inner city is also known as the city that never sleeps.

In addition, the air in the inner city is extremely fresh and full of spiritual energy. Everywhere you look, you can see pavilions, towers, red walls and green tiles.

Bamboo forests and famous trees were transplanted on the wide streets, rockery was built, and even springs were enticed to make the water flow.

Su Yaxin and Zi Ruoya's eyes lit up when they saw it.

As soon as you enter here, the flow of people suddenly decreases, leaving less than one-third of the outer city.

However, those with high cultivation levels can be seen everywhere, with Xuan-level cultivators everywhere and Di-level cultivators mixed in with them.

Occasionally, there would be one or two heavenly-level cultivators, walking like a dragon or a tiger, with many followers following them cautiously.

There is not a single ordinary mortal. After all, to enter here, each person needs three high-quality spirit stones, which is something an ordinary mortal cannot earn in a lifetime.

Even the personal servants who can enter here have at least Xuan-level cultivation.

"Do you know how many spirit stones are needed to buy any house here?"

Lin Tianyu asked casually to Zi Ruoya and Su Yaxin.

"About... one thousand high-grade spirit stones?"

Zi Ruoya spoke first.

Su Yaxin hesitated for a moment and said, "It should take three thousand high-grade spirit stones. I remember that in the Northern Wasteland, a city can be bought for about three thousand high-grade spirit stones..."

Lin Tianyu shook his head and said calmly, "Here, even the smallest courtyard requires a thousand top-grade spirit stones. Moreover, in the inner city of the imperial city, you can't buy it with spirit stones alone. You must get the nod from the dynasty. As for how to get the nod, it's very simple. You just need to have a cultivator with a heavenly level of cultivation in your family or faction."

Chapter 114

"One thousand top-grade spirit stones!"

"It's enough to buy three or four Northern Wasteland Cities."

Zi Ruoya and Su Yaxin couldn't help but exclaim when they heard this number.

One thousand top-grade spirit stones was truly a dizzying amount.

You can even... ask the legendary top-level masters to take action.

"This is where almost all the spiritual stones in the world are gathered."

"Even if we sell the Su family, we still can't afford it, and it can only be bought by a top-grade expert..."

Zi Ruoya and Su Yaxin increasingly felt that their past selves were too insignificant.

The things they once took pride in are now unaffordable even for the most ordinary house.

"Don't be so surprised, it's just some spirit stones."

Lin Tianyu waved his hand and said, "After you ascend, you will know that spirit stones are worthless, no matter whether they are top-grade or best-grade."

"After ascending, spirit stones are worthless?"

"But aren't spirit stones used for cultivation? Does that mean we don't need spirit stones for cultivation anymore after we ascend?"

Su Yaxin and Zi Ruoya couldn't believe it.

"Well, in the lower realm, because there is not enough spiritual energy between heaven and earth, we need to use spiritual stones to practice. In the upper realm, the spiritual energy is rich enough, so spiritual stones are just like ordinary stones. They can be found everywhere, and no one will pick them up if they fall on the ground."

Lin Tianyu continued to explain calmly:

Neither Zi Ruoya nor Su Yaxin responded. They just felt that they had been shocked too many times today and were a little overwhelmed.

"Xiao Yu, the Jinyiwei are no longer following us."

At this time, Lin Luoxi pulled Lin Tianyu's sleeve.

"They must have gone to find the Qin family. Don't pay attention to them. Let's go back to the Lin family."

------

at the same time.

The Lin family in the inner city.

"Lin Luoxi really dared to come back. Are you sure she didn't recognize the wrong person?"

The head of the Lin family, Lin Xiongtu, stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery of the courtyard.

"Yes, the news was passed on by the people guarding the inner city. Moreover, she did not come back alone. There were two women and one man around her. People have been sent down to verify their identities."

Lin Yang, the patriarch of the Lin family, bowed his head and reported.

"Not only did he come back, but he also brought several people with him?"

Lin Xiongtu originally wanted to send people to drive Lin Luoxi out of the imperial city again. After all, this was the order given by the previous Emperor Xia before he ascended to heaven.

But then I thought about it.

How could Lin Luoxi, with her submissive and extremely weak character, dare to disobey the orders of the Lin family?

"Could it be that my second brother asked her to come back?"

Lin Xiongtu rolled his eyes.

If this is true, the supreme elders will be furious when they know about this.

That was something Emperor Xia instructed personally.

How dare my second brother disobey? Wouldn't this put the Lin family in danger?

In this way, the second brother's voice and prestige in the family will be reduced again, and he can be re-elected in the selection of the next head of the family.

Even if it wasn't, it was a fact that Lin Luoxi came back.

I must take this opportunity to severely suppress my second brother.

"I understand. When they come back to the Lin family later, don't stop them. Just guide them here. Oh, and don't let others see this."

Lin Xiongtu ordered.

"Yes."

"Oh, right, send someone to call the Grand Elder and my second brother and the others, and ask them to come here together and tell them that something big has happened!"

-------

The journey back to the Lin family was unusually smooth, as if they knew that they were coming.

His identity was not verified, nor was he stopped by the Lin family's servants.

The Lin family even sent Elder Lin Yang to greet them at the main gate of the Lin family.

This made Lin Tianyu a little surprised. Did they already know his identity in advance?

But soon.

Lin Tianyu gave up the idea.

Elder Lin Yang's face darkened as soon as they met. Without any polite words, he just said bluntly that he was here to lead the way for them.

"It seems that Sister Luoxi has been discovered, but it's better this way, so she doesn't have to prove her identity to these servants outside."

Lin Tianyu was not prepared to get straight to the point.

After all, Lin Yang’s level is not high enough.

Many members of the Lin family were not surprised to see a horse-drawn carriage driving into the Lin family's territory.

After all, the Lin family often had important people visiting. Not to mention carriages pulled by wildebeests, even flying sedan chairs pulled by earth-grade monster beasts had come.

When Lin Yang brought Lin Tianyu and others to wander around the Lin family and almost confused Su Yaxin and Zi Ruoya.
