After a brief discussion, the few of them decided to enter the imperial city first and then go and investigate the news separately.

As soon as Gu Xia stepped into the imperial city, he was aware of the cold and chilly atmosphere in the air, and his fingertips quietly clenched the defensive talisman.

Looking at the others, they had obviously become alert as well, but in order not to attract attention, the sword cultivators had thrown their spirit swords into the mustard seed bags.

"Let's find a place to stay first." Jiang Chaoxu frowned and said, "We can go out and find out later."

The others nodded in agreement.

As the power center of the entire human world, there are quite a few inns with good environments in the imperial city.

Perhaps because he saw that they were a group of young boys and girls who looked like strangers from other places, the innkeeper asked for a huge sum of money and tripled the price of the room.

Gu Xia slapped the table and pointed at them, saying with a fake smile: "Don't we look like we've been taken advantage of?"

The middle-aged man with a goatee glanced at her. He thought there was nothing to be afraid of from a young girl.

"That's the price, not a penny less."

Gu Xia and his family were not so poor that they had to live on the streets, but it still felt unpleasant to be taken advantage of and blackmailed.

Just then, a young man who had been standing there watching for a while tugged at her sleeve and gestured to the side with his eyes.

Gu Xia raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyes fell on him calmly.

With the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Golden Core, his talent at this age can be said to be very good.

He is probably a disciple of some sect in the world of cultivation.

The others didn't understand what was going on, so they followed suit and walked over to the side.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

The young man looked around, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "My fellow Taoists, if I'm not mistaken, you are also here for the matter of the dragon vein in the human world, right?"

Ye Sui'an nodded his chin and said calmly: "Oh? Could it be that you are the same?"

"Yes."

The boy blinked and said in a familiar tone: "If that's the case, then I advise you to find a room as soon as possible. You may not know it since you came so late."

At this point, he lowered his voice even more: "At night, the imperial city is haunted."

As soon as these words came out, the air around them seemed to cool down by several degrees.

Gu Xia: "Oh wow."

Xu Xingmu: "Exciting."

The two of them sang the same tune, making the people of Xuanming Sect roll their eyes speechlessly.

As expected, sword cultivators love to be surprised.

Seeing that their reactions were different from what he expected, the young man scratched his hair and said seriously, "I'm not kidding. The Imperial City is really dangerous at night. There are many monks coming here recently, but no one knows what is causing the trouble in secret."

Yi Ling couldn't help but said: "With so many monks here, don't you have any clues? And they said it was haunted, could it be that someone saw it with their own eyes?"

"Are you kidding?" The young man's eyes widened, and his low voice was inexplicably sinister: "If he really saw it, would he still be alive today? Of course he is dead and cannot be deader."

He urged: "So you should stop arguing with the shopkeeper and book a room first, otherwise you may really have to sleep on the street."

Gu Xia felt that what he said made sense, so he patted him on the shoulder and said politely: "Thank you very much."

The boy blushed slightly and scratched his hair in embarrassment. Just then his friend called him, so he walked over there quickly. Before leaving, he waved to them with a bright smile: "My name is Wang Jian. You can come to me if you have any problems."

Gu Xia waved his hand casually and turned his head, only to meet the strange looks from everyone, including his senior brother.

"What?" She leaned back and almost punched him.

Ye Sui'an circled around her again and again, stroking his chin and said in a sly voice: "He seems to have a good impression of you."

"Huh?" Gu Xia hasn't reacted yet.

The next second, the eldest brother dropped his iron fist and smashed Ye Sui'an into the ground.

"Ah! Why did you hit me?"

Shen Weixun's eyes flickered as she looked at him coldly: "Don't lead Junior Sister astray."

Ye Sui'an: "..."

No, what did he do?

Didn't he just say something casually? Why did you hit him again?

The other two brothers were laughing beside them.

Not to mention, although Gu Xia's personality is a bit eccentric on weekdays, her cold and beautiful face is still very deceptive.

It's just that all the familiar disciples have been yelled at by her so many times that they hate her face to the core.

But for other people who have never dealt with them, teenagers of this age are still quite concerned about their looks.

"Strange." Gu Xia thought they were crazy and looked at the sky: "It's getting dark, let's solve the accommodation problem first."

Otherwise, I might really have to live on the street.

*

"already solved."

The people from Xuanming Sect left for some reason and just happened to walk over from the counter when they heard her words.

Gu Xia was shocked at their speed and tilted his head: "So fast?"

Li Tingyun raised his chin and said with disdain: "As long as the money is in place, it's not difficult."

Gu Xia glanced at him and asked Xu Xingmu in a low voice: "Second Senior Brother, was he this arrogant before?"

"That's about right." Xu Xingmu also whispered: "They all like to talk like that."

I don’t even recognize any of them anymore.

When I go out, I wish I could have the three big words "I'm rich" on my head.

Hearing them talking about him in front of him, Li Tingyun said: "..."

damn it.

Don't think I can't hear you if you lower your voices!

"Are you dissatisfied with me?" The young man's cold voice sounded.

Gu Xia smiled slightly: "How could that be? You are a child of a wealthy family, and mortals like me can only look up to you."

Xu Xingmu nodded and agreed: "My junior sister is right, we are praising you, are you happy?"

"..."

He's so happy!

Li Tingyun felt that if he stayed any longer he might be pissed off to death by these two guys, so he simply went upstairs with his fellow disciples.

"Gu Xia Gu Xia, let's go too."

Xu Xingmu happily pulled her sleeve.

It’s not their money anyway, and the people of Xuanming Sect have always been wealthy.

For Gu Xia, who is now penniless, it would be a fool not to take advantage of a good opportunity.

We are all good brothers anyway, so what's wrong with spending each other's money?

The main focus of their Taiyi Sect is companionship.

After settling down, the two sects acted separately, keeping in touch with each other through jade slips in case of emergencies.

There is still a big difference between the human world and the world of cultivation. At least there are no birdmen flying over their heads on swords at any time.

Otherwise, why is it called the Imperial City, a place where every inch of land is valuable? The long street was bustling with activity. Gu Xia and Xu Xingmu were walking in the front, and they would exclaim "Wow" from time to time, attracting the attention of passers-by.

A thought arose tacitly.

Where did this bumpkin come from?

……

The kids should all be on summer vacation by now, right? (Lost in thought)(Suddenly realized)
