149: The journey has only just begun!
The middle-aged manager quietly accepted the storage ring, a gentle smile on his face. "You're welcome. Just don't cause any trouble in my Silver Moon Empire!"
"Of course not!"
Nangong Yu chuckled, but secretly added in his heart: If others don't offend me, I won't offend them!
The two obtained their passes, and the group entered Jubei Pass.
After the group entered Jubei Pass, Chen Liqun looked at Nangong Ruoxue and Little Brother Sichen, smiling slightly. "Senior Han, Little Brother Sichen, my Chen Family has a business in Jubei Pass. How about we go there to rest for a bit before setting off for Jianglan City? Let me fulfill my duties as a host?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Ruoxue looked at Nangong Yu. By now, she was willing to listen to what her younger brother had to say when they were out.
Nangong Yu shook his head slightly, smiling. "Thank you, Sister Chen, but Sister Xue and I plan to travel around, so we won't be going to Jianglan City for now."
"Perhaps later. If we are fortunate enough to visit Jianglan City in the future, we will certainly pay our respects to Sister Chen!"
Hearing this, Chen Liqun's delicate brows furrowed slightly. "Little Brother Sichen, I haven't even thanked Senior Han and you for saving my life yet. Are you going to leave me with no way to repay your kindness?"
Nangong Yu chuckled, saying, "Sister Chen, there's no need to worry. We simply drew our swords to help when we saw injustice on the road."
"What's more, you provided us with a lot of useful information and even brought us into Jubei Pass. It should be us thanking you!"
Chen Liqun's expression was hesitant, and she smiled bitterly. "Compared to your life-saving grace, what I did for you two is such a small matter, isn't it?"
"It's not small!" Nangong Yu smiled and said, "Sister Chen, there's no need to overthink it. We will meet again if fate wills it!"
With that, Nangong Yu pulled Nangong Ruoxue and turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Chen Liqun quickly called out to Nangong Yu. "Little Brother Sichen, I don't have much to thank you with, but please accept this Spirit Jade Card and token!"
Saying this, she took out a Spirit Jade Card and an ancient token and handed them to Nangong Yu.
"Spirit Jade Card?"
Nangong Yu was slightly surprised. As far as he knew, each major power in the Mortal Realm had no more than a hundred of these, right?
Chen Liqun actually had a Spirit Jade Card?
And she was even planning to give it away? This was a bit unusual!
Nangong Yu glanced at the Spirit Jade Card and saw the numbers on it.
Four hundred and fifty million!
Nangong Yu smiled slightly. "For Sister Chen to give it away, it must not be a simple item. We can't accept it. Sister Chen, please take it back!"
Chen Liqun quickly smiled and placed the Spirit Jade Card and token in Nangong Yu's hand. "I have no way to repay your life-saving kindness. This is the small token of gratitude I can offer at present."
"The Spirit Jade Card goes without saying, it's just a small token of my regard. That token is my Chen Family's Supreme Token. All expenses at my Chen Family's businesses are free, and you can even command people from my Chen Family's businesses to do things!"
"When you come to Jianglan City someday, I will properly repay your kindness."
Nangong Yu smiled slightly and said, "Sister Chen, these two items are too valuable. We won't accept them."
Chen Liqun shook her head and smiled. "No, this is a small token of my sincerity. Please, Senior Han and Little Brother Sichen, don't disdain it, or my heart will not be at ease!"
Nangong Yu looked at her deeply and smiled. "Thank you, Sister Chen. Then this younger brother will not decline!"
"You're welcome!" Chen Liqun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Nangong Yu put away the Spirit Jade Card and token, smiling. "Sister Chen, your trip to Jianglan City will likely still not be peaceful. You need to be fully prepared."
"Thank you for the reminder, Little Brother Sichen!"
Chen Liqun quickly thanked him, watching the two disappear at the end of the street.
Seeing this, Aunt Zheng asked, puzzled, "Young Miss, why did you give such valuable gifts? Is it worth it?"
Chen Liqun shook her head slightly and said, "Aunt Zheng, you don't understand. There's no way to repay life-saving kindness. These two items can't repay their life-saving grace."
"Moreover, my intuition tells me that these two are definitely not as simple as they appear on the surface. Making good connections with them will not harm my Chen Family!"
Hearing this, Aunt Zheng nodded slightly. Although she didn't quite understand, the decision Chen Liqun made was not something she could comment on.
"Let's go. First, we'll go to the business to check things out, then we'll ask the Family to send someone to pick us up!"
Chen Liqun said, then turned and left with her people... On the other side, Nangong Yu and Nangong Ruoxue came to an inn, ate something, and checked in!
In the room, Nangong Ruoxue excitedly hugged Nangong Yu. "Si Chen, you are truly amazing!"
At this moment, she genuinely felt that taking Nangong Yu with her to leave Clear Serenity was absolutely the right decision!
From last night until now, in just over half a day, the two had actually successfully left the Clear Serenity Empire and entered the Silver Moon Empire.
Not only that, but by simply saving someone, they had obtained over four hundred million Spirit Stones.
It was outrageous!
This way, they would not lack Spirit Stones for their upcoming travels!
Nangong Yu smiled slightly. "Sister Xue, don't get too excited. Our journey has just begun!"
"That's right!"
Nangong Ruoxue nodded slightly, her expression also becoming a bit more serious. Now that they had left the greenhouse of the Clear Serenity Empire and were facing the cruel Cultivator world, their challenges had just begun!
Thinking of this, Nangong Ruoxue put her arm around Nangong Yu and sat down, smiling. "Si Chen, do you have any thoughts? Or any plans for the journey ahead?"
Nangong Yu chuckled, "No thoughts, no plans. Traveling is very random; all sorts of things will happen that can disrupt any arrangements!"
"So, deciding the general direction of where to go first, next, and last is fine, but anything else is just unnecessary overthinking!"
Hearing this, Nangong Ruoxue nodded thoughtfully, then smiled. "Then where do you want to go, Si Chen? Sister will accompany you!"
Nangong Yu smiled slightly, shaking his head. "I don't have any particular place I want to go. I'll listen to Sister Xue!"
Nangong Ruoxue raised an eyebrow slightly. "If you have an idea, you should say it. Why be polite with your sister?"
"Truly none!"
Nangong Yu shook his head and smiled. "Sister Xue, you can make the arrangements. However, we need to find a way to gather as much information as possible about the Prince of Zhenbeis Residence!"
"Si Chen, are you missing Second Imperial Aunt?" Nangong Ruoxue's heart stirred, and she asked.
Nangong Yu nodded slightly and said, "Mother went to the Holy Domain and hasn't set a time to pick me up. I'm a bit unaccustomed to it."
"That's why I came out with Sister Xue to relax, but I also want to keep an eye on the Prince of Zhenbeis Residence, fearing that Mother might send someone back and not find me!"
Hearing this, Nangong Ruoxue nodded slightly and smiled. "Okay, in that case, for the next two or three years, we'll travel around the Silver Moon Empire, and won't go to other places for now."
"After that, we'll go to a Spirit Net outpost once a month to inquire about the Prince of Zhenbeis Residence. How does that sound?"
"Sounds good!"
Nangong Yu smiled and nodded, then asked, "Oh, by the way, Sister Xue, which room is mine?"
"Which room?"
Nangong Ruoxue blinked, looking at Nangong Yu in confusion, not understanding what he was saying.
