Chapter 1,488: Nanling Is Not a City

"Bai Chen's behavior has always been strange, and he never plays by the rules. Only at the end will the truth be revealed." The little fox's beautiful eyes swept across Qin Xuan, pursed her red lips, and said in a delicate voice.

Hearing this, Qin Xuan couldn't help but frown: "Great Elder Tianhu, from what you said, why do I feel that you and Bai Chen have known each other for a long time."

"Heh~ Didn't we learn enough from the last battle in the Imperial City?"

"Really? Last time, who vowed to make the Tianwu League suffer heavy losses, but in the end, was beaten and fled in a panic!"

"Oh, you still blame me? At least I'm facing Fei Lian, the leader of the four little strong men in the Tianwu League, a real star realm strongman! Some people can't even defeat a seriously injured yellow-haired girl, which is really amazing~"

"Nonsense! She is not a yellow-haired girl, she is the descendant of Xuanyuan!"

...

"Have you quarreled enough?"

The old voice, without any waves, came calmly like a lake, making the two of them change color and shut up.

Lord Xia sat comfortably on a high black chair, leaning his elbows on the chair, looking at the three people in the hall with interest: "Our goal for this operation is very clear, which is to break the wings of the Tianwu League, so you guys, hurry down and prepare."

"Yes!" "Yes!"

Xiao Tianhu and Qin Xuan responded immediately and walked out of the hall.

When they left the hall, only Lord Xia and Xiao Huan were left in the quiet hall.

Looking at Xiao Huan with a hint of expectation in his old eyes, Lord Xia smiled faintly: "How is Zhong Que?"

"Replying to Lord God, Zhong Que has rushed to Yuantong. As I expected, he will reach Nanling within three days!"

"Well, give orders to let Yueyingzhilian fully assist Zhong Que and swear to bring Bai Chen's head back to me."

"Yes!"

Xiao Huan bowed his hands sternly and left the hall solemnly.

Looking at the quiet and desolate place in the hall, Xia Shenzhu's calm old eyes gradually showed a smile: "Bai Chen, it's time for me to see you..."

...

After several days of traveling.

Bai Chen and his four companions finally arrived at Nanling.

Before they heard about Nanling, they thought it was a city. Who would have thought that when they came here, they found that Nanling was not a city at all, but a small town.

It only takes a quarter of an hour to walk from the east end to the west end of the town. There are few houses and a sparse population here. Most people make a living by fishing, and trade with the outside world is also extremely rare.

After settling down in a conspicuous inn in the town, Bai Chen took the three people to the seaside.

The endless deep blue sea, the sea and the sky are connected, and the scenery is as beautiful as a painting.

Several small boats are sailing in the shallows, and people are smiling happily. They are satisfied with the harvest regardless of drought or flood.

Looking at those people pulling up the fishing nets with happiness on their faces, Bai Qilin stood with his hands behind his back and couldn't help but smile with relief: "If all the people in the world can do this, we don't have to stick to martial arts."

"If you don't practice martial arts, can you live forever?" Bai Chen chuckled and walked with Tang Qin towards a small boat that was docked.

Looking directly at the back figure that was walking away indifferently, Bai Qilin gritted his teeth with hatred and couldn't help cursing: "Bah! He is just a weak brat. He relied on us to fight hard and win the battle in the imperial capital. He really thinks he is a piece of garlic!"

"Hush!"

Wang Xiaoyu pointed a finger beside him and whispered: "He is the deputy leader after all, and there is an unknown star realm strongman hiding beside him. If we can avoid provoking him, try not to provoke him."

Hearing this, Bai Qilin glanced at Wang Xiaoyu with cold eyes and disdain: "Who talked to you."

"You...!"

Staring at Bai Qilin, Wang Xiaoyu walked away by himself, and jumped on the spot in anger.

"I was worried about your safety in the cave under the cliff before. You, an ice-faced person who doesn't understand romance, might as well die!" Wang Xiaoyu stamped her feet angrily and looked at Bai Chen again: "Dad, you have entrusted the future of Xueyunguan to me alone. Don't worry, I will definitely choose the best future for you!"

...

"Uncle, how much is this fish?" Bai Chen had already come to the side of the boat, and looked at the fisherman pulling the fishing net on the boat ashore, and couldn't help asking curiously.

Hearing this, the fisherman first glanced at Bai Chen and Tang Qin. He lived far away in Nanling. Although he didn't recognize the robes of the Tianwu League in the rumor, he could see that the two people in front of him were probably young masters and daughters from wealthy families. He immediately smiled and said: "This fish is the least valuable in our Nanling. If you like it, just choose one and take it away."

"How can this be done? No merit, no reward~"

Bai Chen said, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and handed it forward.

"This...!"

The fisherman was stunned on the spot because he did not expect the young man to be so generous. "Ahaha, young master, your silver ingot is enough to buy all the fish in my net. So, which inn are you staying in? I will send someone to take it to you."

Because Nanling is very small, the people here know each other.

Suddenly, a stranger came. He must be a stranger. The fisherman naturally knew that he was staying in the inn.

Also, although Nanling has no business dealings with the outside world, people from all over the country come to play every year, so there are two inns in the town.

"Longwen Inn." Bai Chen forced the silver into the fisherman's hand, then raised his handsome face and smiled modestly: "You don't have to send all the fish to me, just four fish, give them to the innkeepers, let them stew them for our dinner, that's enough!"

As he said, Bai Chen took out another ingot of silver from his sleeve: "This money is the reward for the innkeepers helping me stew the fish."

"Yes, sir, don't worry, I'll go now!" Seeing this extravagant style of doing things again, the fisherman almost smiled with wrinkles on his face.

For the simple residents in this countryside, Bai Chen also knew that a plain and prosperous life would definitely breed people with pure character, so he was very relieved to send the silver to the fisherman, who passed it to the innkeeper.

Just as the fisherman happily selected four of the fattest fish and tied them up one after another, Bai Chen looked towards the sea and suddenly asked with a smile: "Uncle, is there an island in this sea?"

"Island?"

The fisherman shook his head blankly: "No!"

"Really?" Bai Chen asked again.

"Really not, my ancestors have lived here for eight generations. If you go deeper into the sea, it is the deep sea, there is no island at all."
