The market at the foot of the mountain was bustling with people, and the small vendors were shouting and advertising their goods.

Since he came down the mountain, Xuan Qingli has been wearing a face-changing mask, which hides his handsome and cold face, but cannot hide his temperament.

"Come and have some hot tofu pudding~" an aunt greeted us.

A bean fragrance wafted into my nose, "Let's have a bowl, it smells so good."

Xuan Qingli had no choice but to sit down as I asked.

Tofu pudding tastes very good, it is fragrant, smooth and sweet, I love it so much.

I asked Xuan Qingli quietly, "Can I buy some of this to take away?"

"Yes." Xuan Qingli exchanged two silver ingots for a bucket of tofu pudding.

"Aren't spirit stones the only common currency? Can silver ingots also be used?" I was puzzled.

"Gold and silver can be exchanged for spirit stones at Tongtian Pawnshop."

We bought a lot of things along the way, but it didn’t cost much. Food was what I bought the most, and it’s my favorite.

Away from the bustling market, Xuan Qingli took out a carriage and a white horse, and we set off leisurely.

There is a lot of space inside the carriage. What catches the eye is a glazed bookcase filled with books, and in front of the bookcase is a large soft couch.

There was a low table for making tea in front of one window, and on the other side was a cushion with a spirit gathering array underneath.

After making tea, Xuan Qingli started reading.

I ate pastries in front of the window while looking at the scenery along the way.

We were walking on the official road, and the teleportation array would only be opened in an emergency because each operation required a large amount of spirit stones.

Our carriage was moving very slowly, and we watched one carriage after another galloping past us.

I got bored of looking at the scenery outside, so I started looking at Xuan Qingli.

I was probably reading too intently, and he felt my gaze and said, "Xiaowei, are you reading?"

I shook my head, "I don't like reading, I'd better practice."

I don't know how long I walked before I noticed that the carriage had stopped, the official road was blocked, and a group of people gathered together and made a lot of noise.

We got off the bus to find out what was going on. This was an inn where we could rest.

The goods that a mercenary team was escorting were stolen, and they would not let the others leave, and wanted to search the carriage and storage rings. Of course, the others were unwilling to do so, and the situation became deadlocked.

The people coming later were not let go, and more and more people were blocking the way. They had already reported it to the authorities and were waiting for the spiritual officer to come.

"If this continues, when can we leave? Let's go through the forest next to us." I sat on the white horse's head, and the voice I spoke was heard by the people next to me.

"Where did this bumpkin come from? He wants to enter the misty forest alone. He is courting death." The girl who spoke looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with arrogance all over her beautiful face.

I'm not talking to her about interrupting others. I hate impolite people. I turned my head and looked at Xuan Qingli.

"There are only three specific entrances to the Misty Forest. If you enter from any other place, you will get lost."

Although Xuan Qingli's appearance had become ordinary, her voice was still very pleasant, like the sound of jade, which attracted the girl's attention.

"Brother, where did your spirit pet come from? It's so stupid and ugly." The girl spoke to Xuan Qingli.

What are you saying, stupid and ugly? My skin is as white as jade. I know you are jealous of me!

"Who is your brother? Don't recognize relatives randomly here." I immediately ran onto Xuan Qingli's shoulders to assert my sovereignty.

"You idiot, you actually yelled at me, do you know who I am?"

"Who are you talking about, bean sprout? I don't care who you are!"

"You actually called me a bean sprout!" The girl got so angry that she stabbed us.

The attack was dispersed by Xuan Qingli before it reached us, and the girl on the opposite side was knocked to the ground, falling flat on her face.

"Hahaha..." I was amused by her embarrassed look.

She wanted to take something out of her storage ring to deal with us, but a deep male voice stopped her, "Xuan'er, stop it."

A man and a woman got out of a luxurious carriage.

The man had sharp eyebrows, a handsome appearance, and was dressed in black; the woman wore a bright red dress, revealing her plump breasts, her skin was as white as snow, and she looked very charming.

It immediately attracted everyone's attention, and I couldn't help but look at her.

"No wonder you got angry when I called you bean sprouts." I muttered softly.

"I am very sorry, monk. I am Yan Bin, the second prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom." The man in black apologized to us.

Xuan Qingli nodded and accepted it. I will not bear grudges. However, the girl named Xuan'er still looked indignant.

The woman in the red dress kept looking at Xuan Qingli and invited him, "Fellow monk, please dine with us."

The woman's voice was gentle and charming. At first glance, it sounded like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley, clear and loud, yet gentle and soft.

"No thanks." Xuan Qingli rejected her invitation. The men around her gasped, thinking she was ungrateful.

The woman didn't say anything more and returned to the carriage.

We also got on the carriage. "Do you know that woman?"

"The young master of Baihua Sect: Zhu Xian'er."

"She seemed to recognize you."

"Maybe." He continued reading.

The post station we are currently in belongs to the Fire Sparrow Nation, and we need to wait for them to send someone to deal with this theft.

The road ahead is blocked, so we can only keep waiting.

As night fell, someone knocked on the door of our carriage. I looked out the window and saw a few spiritual officials dressed in the uniforms of the Fire Sparrow Nation.

All of us were invited to get off the carriage, because what was stolen this time were the royal belongings of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, and we had to search the carriage and storage ring if we wanted to leave.

Someone immediately retorted, "Why? We don't even know what was stolen. We only accept searches of carriages, not storage rings!"

"Yeah, maybe those mercenaries are crying thief."

"We just arrived after the incident happened, why do you still need to search us? Let us pass."

......

One of the spiritual officials who was in the late Jindan stage stood in the middle of the crowd and said, "We are just informing you. If you don't cooperate, we can only detain you and conduct a forced search."

Under the powerful suppression of force, most people began to line up, wait for search, and then leave.

"There is no disaster of pythons." I was dejected.

"We'll leave after they've all left. They won't search us."

Watching the carriages being inspected one after another, those people were angry but dared not say a word.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people and the stolen items had not been found yet, the searching spiritual officer became a little anxious.

They came to ask Yan Bin, "Second Prince, we have investigated the surrounding area and found no clues. We also searched the carriage that was released a second time and found nothing."

Before Yan Bin could speak, the girl named Xuan'er looked at us and said, "Isn't there another carriage? This guy has shifty eyes and is sneaky."

I got angry when I heard this. Isn't this just spreading rumors to confuse the public? You are so petty. "You bean sprout, you look at everyone with a sneaky look!"

He even looked at her and then at Zhu Xian'er.

Noticing my gaze, she was furious, her eyes blazing with anger, "It's them, detain them first."

The spiritual officials looked at us and then at Yan Bin.

Yan Bin spoke up, "Xuan'er, stop making trouble. If you continue like this, I will have the guards take you home. But this monk still needs to cooperate with us."
