After listening to Li Ziqing's story, Chen Xiao sighed again.

His never-before-seen parents-in-law were unlucky enough to be saddled with such useless relatives.

However, Chen Xiao still had some doubts about this matter.

"Wife, logically speaking, this is a feud between your family and the Wang family. Why would the five great families join forces to deal with your parents?"

Li Ziqing frowned, "Husband, I've thought about this problem too. Although our Li family was strong for a while, it was still far behind the Wang family. If the Wang family simply wanted revenge, they would have been enough. There was no need to unite the other four families."

"Moreover, in my memory, the five great families seemed to be forcing my parents to hand over something. But I was too young at that time, and my memory is very vague, so I'm not particularly sure."

"Four years ago, I transformed into Zhu Ye Qing (Green Bamboo Snake) and went to the Imperial City not only to avenge my parents but also to find out the truth. However, that incident was very obscure back then, and the younger generation of the five great families didn't seem to know the inside story, so I didn't find out the truth."

"Later, I was driven out of the Imperial City, so I had no way to investigate further."

Hearing Li Ziqing's words, Chen Xiao nodded frequently, "It seems that there must be another story here, maybe it has a close relationship with the runes in your body, and that Fangwai (outside the world) master... Wife, let's go to the Imperial City together tomorrow. You don't have to be afraid of the five great families. They're just a bunch of cowardly rats. With your husband here, they can't hurt you!"

Compared with the Martial Arts Tournament, the priority of Li Ziqing was obviously one level higher. Chen Xiao decided not to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament and directly accompany Li Ziqing to the Imperial City.

However, Li Ziqing shook her head after hearing his suggestion.

"Husband, the reason I was able to survive in the hands of the five great families was because Xiao Tianze saved me. And I also promised him back then that I would never set foot in the Imperial City for three years. Now there is less than a month before the three-year period expires, and I don't want to break my promise. I want to wait until the three years are up before going back for revenge... So this is why I haven't told you about these grievances all along."

"I see, in that case, I'll listen to you. When you're ready, let's go to the Imperial City together and flatten the five great families!"

Chen Xiao said heroically.

"Mmm-hmm!"

Li Ziqing nodded frequently, "Husband, I took a break just now, and my strength has recovered a bit. How about we..."

Hearing this, what was Chen Xiao waiting for? He pounced over like a hungry tiger...

The next day, when Chen Xiao set off with Gongsun Yi and others, Li Ziqing was still sleeping in bed.

There was no way around it. Her mortal body couldn't withstand Chen Xiao's tossing and turning.

Chen Xiao, Lin Zicong, and Gongsun Yi met with Qi Qingfei at the airport and boarded a plane to Xiangnan City.

The Zhushen Dian (Hall of the Gods) was located on Mount Jiuyi, and Mount Jiuyi was located in Yongning County, which was under the jurisdiction of Xiangnan City.

After the four people got off the plane in Xiangnan City, they rented a car and drove to Yongning County.

Along the way, Lin Zicong and Qi Qingfei were particularly excited, like two elementary school students going on a trip with their parents.

After arriving in Yongning County, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. After a long journey, Gongsun Yi suggested, "Mr. Chen, this place is still more than 100 kilometers away from Mount Jiuyi. Let's rest here for the night and go up the mountain tomorrow!"

Chen Xiao nodded, "I have no objections."

Since he had no objections, the other two younger ones had even fewer objections.

The four of them first found a hotel to stay in, and then gathered in the lobby, preparing to go out to eat, and also to take a tour and feel the local customs.

The four of them were staying in the best five-star hotel in the area. Chen Xiao noticed that many of the guests coming and going in the hotel possessed internal strength and were people of the martial world.

Some people were even more outrageous, directly wearing ancient costumes, Taoist robes, monk robes, etc... If you didn't know better, you would have thought that this five-star hotel was filming an ancient costume drama.

After the four of them gathered in the lobby, they set off to eat.

Gongsun Yi had been to Yongning County many times. He was familiar with this place, so he took the lead.

"Mr. Yang, the mutton soup in this shop has a very authentic taste. Every time I come to Yongning County, I have to drink several large bowls. You must try it today!"

Gongsun Yi led the three to a mutton restaurant called 'Sanyang Kaitai (Three Rams Bring Prosperity)' and said with a thumbs up.

"Okay, then let's try it today."

Chen Xiao smiled and walked into the restaurant.

The mutton restaurant was very large, and the hall on the first floor was filled with thirty or forty scattered tables.

The four found an empty table and sat down. The tabletop was stained with grease, obviously left by the previous guests.

Although it wasn't clean and elegant, it was full of the atmosphere of everyday life and had a very common style.

The hall was full of people, enthusiastically drinking mutton soup, bragging and drinking.

Because it was too noisy, you had to shout to make others hear you clearly, and this made it even noisier.

This mutton restaurant was for mass consumption, and a bowl of mutton soup only cost ten yuan, so most of the customers who came to consume were laborers who earned their living by selling their strength.

But Chen Xiao noticed that some of the customers who came today were martial artists.

It seemed that they, like Gongsun Yi, all liked this kind of food.

The four ordered four bowls of mutton soup, eight steamers of shaomai (steamed dumplings), plus a few side dishes.

After a while, the mutton soup was served, with snow-white mutton soup floating with emerald green coriander and scallions, and a generous portion of mutton tripe and mutton underneath.

After tasting the soup and eating a bite of the meat, the four immediately praised it.

Gongsun Yi smiled triumphantly, "How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I? If you follow Brother Yi, I guarantee you'll eat and drink well."

Lin Zicong was used to his master's lack of seriousness, but Qi Qingfei didn't expect that a Huajing (Transformation Realm) grandmaster, ranked in the top thirty of the Heaven Ranking, would have such a vivid and interesting side.
