Chapter 143 There Were Some Clues
Qiu Chi said to Jiang Ping.
“After I went to the Hundred Treasures House today, Director Fei Cai took me to see the owner.”
“He was a foreigner who came to our Fusheng City from other places to earn a living.”
“He said that he found the stone near Fengdu City when he went to the south area.”
“At that time, he didn’t pay much attention to it and stuffed it into his pocket. Then, after he arrived at Fusheng City, he sold it to the Hundred Treasures House for money and started to work for the Hundred Treasures House.”
When Jiang Ping heard Qiu Chi’s words, his expression changed slightly when he heard about Fengdu City.
Of course, he had never heard of Fengdu City, but the words Fengdu seemed to describe the underworld.
Why would someone use the words Fengdu as a city’s name?
Why wasn’t the secular empire that was governing that city going to do something about the name?
Jiang Ping questioned in his heart.
However, Qiu Chi had no comment because he was a native of Fusheng City. He had never even been 200 kilometers away from the city, much less heard about Fengdu
City.
Furthermore, the foreigner from the Hundred Treasures House was only passing by. He only knew that the city was called Fengdu and did not know the details.
“Fengdu City is under the jurisdiction of the Dafeng Empire. It was originally called Yongdu City.”
“Almost every time the empire changes, the first battle would be fought in this city.”
“Many people died, and because the pronunciation is similar to Fengdu, it became Fengdu City.”
Lei Jingyun’s voice could be heard before he appeared.
Halfway through his sentence, Lei Jingyun pushed open the door and entered the study.
Seeing that Lei Jingyun understood so well, Jiang Ping asked excitedly.
“So, Old Lei, you’ve been there before?”
Lei Jingyun shook his head.
“I haven’t been there before. It’s just that I’ve read about it in books because I’ve always liked to read about travel notes.”
“It was also because I was curious about the name of this city that I had such a deep impression of it.”
Qiu Chi patted Lei Jingyun on the shoulder.
“I didn’t expect it, Old Lei. Seeing that you’re usually so rough, but you are interested in literature and art. What a surprise.”
Lei Jingyun patted Qiu Chi’s hand away with a smile.
“Master, I have been all over Fusheng City today and read a lot of ancient books.”
“I finally have some clues.”
Jiang Ping’s eyes were full of expectation.
“Tell me about it.”
Lei Jingyun casually found a chair and sat down.
“The flower you described is completely red and has a pale yellow stamen. It is called the red spider lily.”
“To be exact, it’s also called the red magic lily.”
“This red magic lily only grows in one place. Coincidentally it is the place before Fengdu City’s name was changed.”
“According to the ancient books, before the war broke out in Yongdu City, the petals of this flower were not red, but pale yellow.” “After being stained by blood, the color of the flower slowly turned red, and Yongdu City changed its name to Fengdu.” “The red magic lily was also changed to red spider lily.”
Jiang Ping rubbed the teacup in his hand and said.
“Can this flower still be found?”
Lei Jingyun shook his head regretfully.
“It has gone extinct.” Jiang Ping was a little disappointed. He had thought that if he could ask someone who understands the red spider lily.
Perhaps, there would be an explanation for Liu’er’s special constitution.
Lei Jingyun saw that Jiang Ping didn’t ask anymore, so he comforted Jiang Ping.
“Patriarch, you don’t have to give up so early.”
“I’ve seen it in the travel notes. Many people in this world have some special fetishes such as collecting stone ambers.”
“If we meet them, we might know something.”
Although this explanation was somewhat illusory and ethereal.
But Jiang Ping’s heart was still much more at ease.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ping said to the two of them.
“I think it’s necessary for us to go to Fengdu City.”
Qiu Chi was the first to speak with cupped fists.
“I pledge my life to follow you everywhere.” Lei Jingyun also cupped his hands and bowed, only answering with one word. “Same.”
Jiang Ping was full of smiles.
“Then let’s not delay. Tonight, absorb the spirit stones I gave you yesterday and try to raise your cultivation realms before you set
off.”
The two nodded, and then Lei Jingyun asked.
“What about the young ladies?”
Jiang Ping said.
“Naturally, we’ll move together. If we can figure out Liu’er’s constitution, we’ll come back.”
Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi cupped their fists at the same time and then left the study.
Jiang Ping took out spirit stones from the storage space in the study.
In fact, Jiang Ping had already broken through to the earth immortal realm when he battled with Liu Fang on the lawn.
According to secular cultivation, one had to first settle down as it was not easy to breakthrough in a short period of time.
This would cause the foundation to be unstable. Although it could be repaired, it would also cause a lot of suffering in the future.
However, he was going to Fengdu City now, and he was not familiar with the place.
If some people were not tactful and insisted on finding trouble, he would have to deal with them.
Therefore, Jiang Ping planned to improve his realm and take care of the present first.
It was late at night. Jiang Ping was busy cultivating tonight, and the three little girls were coaxed to sleep by Li Sushang.
Qiu Chi and Lei Jingyun were busy refining spirit stones in their respective rooms.
After Feng Dan and Zi Yue came out of the Jiang Mansion, they didn’t go home. Instead, they climbed up a mountain outside of Fusheng City.
They looked at the night view of Fusheng City.
“Feng Dan.”
“Huh?”
The two of them asked and answered one by one.
“There’s no one else here. Tell me honestly. Do you like Jiang Ping?”
Feng Dan was also a little confused by the question. She looked at Zi Yue, but Zi Yue didn’t turn her head. She was still looking at the bright lights of Fusheng City.
“You can tell, can’t you?”
Feng Dan asked Zi Yue in return.
Zi Yue smoothed her hair that had been messed up by the wind, not letting it cover her eyes.
“I want to hear it from you personally.”
Feng Dan turned her head and also looked at the night scene. She said happily. “I like him.”
Zi Yue only replied with an “oh” and did not continue.
“Then, Yue’er, do you have someone you like?” Feng Dan asked.
Zi Yue slowly opened her mouth to answer.
“Of course I do.”

Feng Dan was a little excited when she heard that, but after a moment, she pretended to be angry and said to Zi Yue.
“Hmph, if you have someone you like, why didn’t you tell me? I just slept with you for nothing!”
Zi Yue slowly lowered her head and said something that even Feng Dan could not understand.
“I don’t even know if I like that person. How would I dare to tell you?”
“Is there such a thing as not knowing if you like someone?”
“Yes, there is.”
“Can you explain it to me?” “It’s like, I don’t know if it’s friendship or love.”
Feng Dan was confused by Zi Yue’s answer.
“Yue’er, what are you talking about? I don’t even know what it means to like someone after you said that.”
Zi Yue suddenly turned around and said with a smile.
“I just want to be with that person, so that is also liking someone.”
Feng Dan replied with a vague understanding.
“Then do you like to be with him? I don’t see you thinking about him all day long. Instead, you are pestering me all the time.” Zi Yue replied.
“Of course, I like to be with that person.”
Feng Dan seized the opportunity to ask.
“Then why don’t you tell him that you like him?”
Zi Yue rolled her eyes at Feng Dan.
“Then why didn’t you tell Jiang Ping that you like him?”
“This…”
“Sister Feng, I’m so tired. Can I lean on you?”
After saying this, Zi Yue didn’t wait for Feng Dan to answer and rested her head on Feng Dan’s shoulder.
