The door next door was slightly covered. Before the two of them knocked on the door, Yun Xiao had already opened the door from inside. She was wrapped in a thick white winter coat, and was pulling up her hat and putting it on her head. She stared at Xiao Qianye lightly and smiled: "Are you leaving?"

"Yeah." Xiao Qianye nodded, and before he could say anything, Yu Xu grabbed Yun Xiao from behind and refused to let her go. She jumped in a hurry and complained, "What! Where are you going to go so late? Stay here and rest for a night. It's cold lately, don't run around with him."

Yun Xiao turned around and held Yu Xu's hand with a giggle, comforting her: "But we are like fugitives now. If we don't run away quickly in the dark, are we going to wait for dawn to fall into the trap?"

Yu Xu pursed her lips, but she was still unwilling to let go, so she quickly winked at Huo Cang. Huo Cang spread his hands helplessly, pointed at Xiao Qianye, and persuaded in a good voice: "Miss Yun is not wrong. Now she is looking for them everywhere. If you want to go deep into the forbidden area, you have to go through Wanyou City to continue to walk east. Now, taking advantage of this kind of army that is not easy to be patrolled in the middle of the night, by the way, take a piece of my clothes for the young master to bring with him. His face is probably even a hare on the roadside."

Hearing Huo Cang say so, Yu Xu had to let go of Yun Xiao reluctantly, turn around and go back to the house to find clothes. Yun Xiao looked at Huo Cang, nodded slightly to him, and said lowly: "Brother Huo, thank you."

"What do you thank me for? It's inexplicable." Huo Cang waved his hand indifferently, looked at her, then looked at Xiao Qianye, and said helplessly, "You two are people who saved my life on the snow field. Now one wants to apologize to me, and the other thank me again. I'm not a human inside and outside, but I'm just ignorant. I don't have any valuable things to protect you. I just have two ordinary winter clothes, don't dislike it."

Yun Xiao tightened his collar and hurriedly answered: "Brother Huo, you are polite. Helping him in time is much more useful than adding icing on the cake."

"You are from the Central Plains, I can't tell you about the literary things." Huo Cang smiled silly. Yu Xu had already walked out with another winter coat. She threw it away from Xiao Qianye's hand, warning, and reminded him with a stern reminder, "This time you have to protect her. Don't let her travel thousands of miles to save you like last time!"

Yu Xu snorted coldly from her nose, and didn't look at him more. She held Yun Xiao's hand and muttered like an old mother: "Although your problem has been temporarily suppressed, it has not been cured at all, so you still have to be careful all the way. If you feel uncomfortable on the road, come back to find me. I will not go anywhere in this bamboo house, and there is still..."

Huo Cang scratched his forehead awkwardly. Knowing that the girl was nagging endlessly, he simply refused to listen to her. Instead, he looked at Xiao Qianye, pulled his hat up and pressed it down hard. After confirming that he could barely cover his eyes, he sighed helplessly.

To be honest, this person's eyes became extremely strange, which made him unable to help but feel cold from his heart after working with him for many years.

"I remember it all." Yun Xiao was still nodding constantly. Every time Yu Xu said something, she nodded quickly. Until the other party stammered and could no longer think of what to give. Then she gently put her hand on her lips, looked at her quietly for a long time, and said quietly, "Don't worry, I remember every word."

Yuxu's eyes turned red in an instant. Thinking of the short time we had been together not long ago, seeing tears falling down, Huo Cang quickly pulled her up and pushed her back into the room. He pulled the door hard to let her run out again, and gestured with his eyes: "Go quickly and go out to the east gate. There are still three-winged birds patrolling in the city as before. You should know the habits of that bird, don't be discovered."

"Brother Huo, thank you." Xiao Qianye bowed at him with his fists. Huo Cang pressed the door and could not return the gift. He had to grin, "Stop talking nonsense. If you still have the fate to meet, you must explain it to me clearly!"

Xiao Qianye paused for a few seconds, pulled Yun Xiao up directly, without any hesitation: "Go."

After leaving the bamboo house for only a quarter of an hour, the darkness in front of me was illuminated by a bright white light all night. Yun Xiao couldn't help but raise his hand to block it. It took him a long time to get used to this light.

"This is the magic barrier outside Wanyou City." Xiao Qianye also stopped and carefully pulled Yun Xiao's hat down and explained patiently, "Although Dongming and Gala border, the temperature will rise all the way after passing Snow City. When we reach Wanyou City, it is basically like spring. If we go east, we will go deep into the Void Holy Land and the Confinement Valley. The climate becomes humid and warm, with rainy and mountain torrents. Therefore, most cities have this magic barrier to protect it. If you walk deep into the forbidden area, you will be the gathering place that foreigners like."

Yun Xiao felt that his eyes were completely blocked by his hat and could not see the road. He wanted to lift it up and he held his hand down. Xiao Qianye glanced at the metropolis in front of him, and his tone became more and more rigorous: "The only four major realms, Gala, has not formed a densely populated metropolis due to the harsh climate. Wanyou City is the largest city in Dongming. According to the convention, one of the only three air legions was assigned to patrol the "Three-Winged Bird". This place is not much different from the city that never sleeps. Even if it is late at night, the city is still crowded. I just need to take you, and I don't want you to look at the road."

"It's so insecure that you can't see the road." Yun Xiao murmured in a low voice, and still stubbornly lifted his hat up, pointing to the dazzling light not far away, and asked curiously, "This barrier is so bright, isn't it illuminated in the city like during the day?"

"There is no such light in the city. It is deliberately made so bright for people outside." Xiao Qianye couldn't persuade her, so he had to hold her hand and explain, "This barrier is used to prevent natural disasters. The reason why it is so bright is purely because Dong Ming is too rich..."

"Ah?" Yun Xiao heard it strangely and said in confusion, "Is there any special connection?"

Xiao Qianye was helpless, and he felt that it was a bit ridiculous to say this. He sighed: "The terrain of Dongming is full of hills, and the towns are also built around mountains and rivers. Although it is independent, most of them are very rich. After all, Dongming is a place with extremely abundant resources. Locals are good at doing business. However, because of the restrictions of the mountains, the cities here cannot form a huge urban agglomeration like Yangchuan. They always seem to be less magnificent than others. So when they were building protective barriers, they made it so bright, and they were called "Pearl City".

"This..." Yun Xiao smiled awkwardly, and did not expect that such a story would be behind it. Xiao Qianye looked straight ahead and continued expressionlessly, "And Yangchuan believes in the two gods of the sun and the moon. It is the oldest city except for the imperial capital. Although the land is barren, the historical origin is there, so he always beats Dongming in political situation. Dongming is popular, so he can only spend money and make his own cities full of lights and wine, and traffic. If you have the opportunity to take you around from Dongming, you can see that these cities are exactly the same as Wanyou City, shining like a night pearl."

"Sure enough, the fun of rich people is different." Yun Xiao held back his laughter. Xiao Qianye glanced at her indifferently. Suddenly, a person's name popped up in his mind. He couldn't help but grin and blurted out, "Gongsun Yan's ancestral home is in Wanyou City, Dongming. Before they moved to the imperial capital, their family was still the richest man here. Look at his usual attitude of spending money like water, he is really deeply rooted in the essence of Dongming people."

When talking about that person, Yun Xiao seemed to understand the "Pearl City" ahead in an instant, and a smirk appeared on the corner of his lips: "It's not only people who like to compete for high and low, but they also have to compete for the city they live in. There are struggles in places where there are people. It seems that this sentence makes sense."

Xiao Qianye just smiled faintly. Although scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have been the last of "Shang" since ancient times, but having money can make ghosts push the mill, Dongming is undoubtedly the best example.

However, the two of them had already walked to the city gate after a while. Unlike the strict defense of the Tianyu Imperial City, the gate of Wanyou City was open and there were no guards. There were even hundreds of bright big lanterns hanging high on both sides of the road, as if all the visitors were guests. Yun Xiao felt nervous in his heart, but Xiao Qianye calmly led her, walked directly through the city gate without looking sideways, and bypassed the bustling main road. The two of them walked towards the auxiliary road next to the city.

"No, no one is guarding?" Yun Xiao murmured in a low voice, speeding up his pace and following him in an endless manner. Xiao Qianye nodded, not surprising at all, "It was the city lord's intention. Eighty percent of the residents of Wanyou City were doing business, with frequent population exchanges. In addition, in the concept of "no one to refuse", they wrote to the imperial capital in early years to ask the imperial capital to withdraw from the guards of the military pavilion, leaving only a three-winged bird in the air. The reason was that they were kind and made money. They were worried that the soldiers of the military pavilion in the city would scare their guests and affect business, so the imperial capital agreed, and this habit was preserved."

Yun Xiao listened to the fallacies he said seriously and stared at him suspiciously. It seemed that there was something really right, and he felt something was wrong. He frowned and thought about it for a while, but finally couldn't help but refute: "There is no guards when there are frequent population exchanges? Do you really want money but don't live?"

"Huh?" Xiao Qianye thought for a while and said to himself, "After that being said, Dong Ming has never had any major incidents. He has always been safe and stable, much more harmonious than the other three realms. The only time was seven years ago, when the imperial capital ordered the extermination of Butterfly Valley."

"Really?" Yun Xiao said in surprise, not believing it, "How is this possible? The richer the place, the more likely it is to be targeted, right? What are the robbery and stealing these."

"I think it may be because some of Dongming's magic tricks have worked." Xiao Qianye himself couldn't explain this strange result, so he could only tell her everything he knew casually. "Dongming is good at two kinds of magic tricks, one is astrology that everyone knows, and the other is the soul art. The city lord prays for the city people in the astronomical meter in the center of the city every month. If there is a disaster in the astrology that month, he will notify the nearby legions of Pihuo and Zhe to come to help. Anyway, that's the kind... If you don't see the coffin, you won't cry. If you have anything to do, you will find the military pavilion. If you have nothing to do, you will think you are in the way."

Yun Xiao just stared at him, and saw a helpless smile on his face. He suddenly trotted a few steps in front of him, tilted his head and said in a low voice: "Wow... It's worthy of being a city where everyone is a business, it's too realistic. Have you been disliked by them as well?"

Hearing such a question, Xiao Qianye was not angry at all, but instead pinched the tip of her nose with relief, then gently flicked the snow beads on her hat with his hand, and sighed: "Yes, you can see this, they dislike me."
