Two days later, in the early morning, Qian Renxue and Jiang Chen set off.
The duration of this trip was estimated to be one month, and Qian Renxue had already made thorough preparations.
She announced to the public that she would be in closed-door cultivation for one month. Xue Ye naturally had no objections.
Cultivation was also one of the symbols of a monarch's power and was indispensable.
Just as the entire court believed that the Crown Prince had begun closed-door cultivation, two carriages drove out of Heaven Dou City.
From the outside, the carriages looked very ordinary, but the interior space was spacious, with complete facilities. They even incorporated some soul tool technology that could isolate sound and soul power fluctuations, and they also had decent defensive effects.
Both carriages were specially made by the Spirit Hall.
There were guards riding horses in front and behind the carriages, totaling more than ten. These guards were experts hidden in Heaven Dou City by the Spirit Hall, all with cultivation levels above rank 50. The captain was a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse.
This was arranged by Salas. He did not dare to be negligent when the granddaughter of the Grand Priest and the Holy Son were traveling.
Zhao Hu and the others did not follow. They had to stay in the Eastern Palace to cover for them.
At this moment, inside one of the carriages, Jiang Chen, Qian Renxue, and Xiao Xing were chatting.
Originally, Jiang Chen was in the other carriage, but there was only the Ninth Elder inside.
Between the old man and the beautiful girl, Jiang Chen chose the latter without the slightest hesitation and shamelessly squeezed in.
At this time, both girls were staring with their beautiful eyes wide open, glaring at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was thick-skinned and chuckled, "You two continue. When I came in earlier, I heard Xue'er say that Xiao Xing has grown up recently. Where has she grown? Let brother take a look."
After hearing Jiang Chen's improper words, Xiao Xing and Qian Renxue's faces reddened. In anger, Xiao Xing kicked toward Jiang Chen, who was sitting on the chair at the side of the bed.
Jiang Chen grabbed the clean, small, and delicate jade foot and flicked his finger hard on the sole.
Xiao Xing let out an "ow" and quickly pulled her foot back as if shocked.
"This is the lesson for making a move on brother."
"Miss, he's bullying me."
Xiao Xing couldn't beat Jiang Chen, so she could only report to Qian Renxue.
Only Qian Renxue could handle Jiang Chen.
Qian Renxue said indifferently, "If you don't have anything proper to say, then go back. We girls still have some private words to talk about."
Jiang Chen's expression immediately became serious as he said, "I came over here to cultivate."
"Can't you cultivate over there? Besides, Ninth Elder is there and can guide you."
"Ninth Elder is sleeping, and his snoring sounds like thunder, booming so loud that my head is buzzing." Jiang Chen said helplessly.
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes and said, "Then when we talk, you are not allowed to interrupt."
Jiang Chen quickly promised, "No problem. Without your permission, Xue'er, I absolutely won't interrupt."
However, other thoughts flashed through his mind.
Jiang Chen sat cross-legged, leaned against the carriage, and began to cultivate. Although the cultivation effect during the day was not good, accumulating little by little still helped.
It would probably take nearly ten days to reach the southern part of the Heaven Dou Empire. If he didn't cultivate, the journey would be tedious.
It had been about a month since he left Slaughter City, and his cultivation was still stuck at rank 44. He needed to work twice as hard.
If there were no accidents, Tang San's cultivation at this time should only be at rank 29, fifteen levels behind him.
What he needed to do was maintain this gap, or even widen it further.
Over the years, he had experienced many life-and-death trials, had the resources of the Spirit Hall, and had even consumed an immortal herb. It was not surprising that he was fifteen levels ahead of Tang San.
A comfortable life easily causes people to lose their drive. This could be seen from the fact that Tang San had only risen to rank 29 in six years.
It could be said that in a place like Notting Soul Master Academy, without the pressure of life and death and surrounded by weaklings, Tang San reaching rank 29 was already quite good.
If he had been surrounded by geniuses, Tang San's cultivation would definitely not be only at rank 29.
One step ahead meant every step ahead. Jiang Chen already had enough confidence.
The daytime cultivation effect was slow, so Jiang Chen did not need to devote too much attention to it. He kept part of his mind on the outside, listening to the two girls' whispers. This kind of traveling life seemed quite nice too.
When the two girls saw Jiang Chen close his eyes and feel the soul power flowing in his body, they thought he was fully focused on cultivation and spoke without any reservations.
Through these conversations, Jiang Chen gained a deeper understanding of Qian Renxue.
Not long after, the two girls also began to cultivate, and the carriage became quiet again.
The team's route was heading southwest toward the Heaven Dou Empire. Jiang Chen had already discussed it with Qian Renxue beforehand: they would first go to Holy Soul Village and then head to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Holy Soul Village was located in the southwest direction, very close to the border between the two empires.
From Holy Soul Village, going directly east would lead them to the Star Dou Great Forest.
They would pass near Spirit City on the way, but neither Jiang Chen nor Qian Renxue planned to return to Spirit City this time.
First, Qian Renxue only had one month, and accompanying Jiang Chen to Holy Soul Village would cause some delay, making the originally ample time tight.
Second, Jiang Chen opposed it. He only said that if they returned to Spirit City, Bibi Dong would blame them, but in reality, he did not want Qian Renxue to discover his secret with Hu Liena.
Otherwise, the two beauties might start fighting.
Of course, Hu Liena, who had already been conquered by him, definitely would not take the initiative to stir up trouble, but he was afraid of Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue's personality was even stronger than Hu Liena's. She had a natural empress temperament and an extremely strong desire for control. Jiang Chen had already deeply experienced this.
If he wanted to turn Qian Renxue into a docile little kitten that he could knead at will, Jiang Chen still had a long way to go.
Along the way, except for eating, drinking, relieving themselves, and staying overnight, the team hardly stopped.
Finally, on the evening of the eighth day, Jiang Chen finally returned outside Notting City.
After six years, he had finally returned to this remote border city, his hometown.
Back then, he had set off from Notting City and boarded the ship of the Spirit Hall. One person had made an indispensable contribution.
"Let's go to the Notting City branch hall." Jiang Chen poked his head out from the carriage and gave the order.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, they had stayed at the Spirit Hall branches in various places every night along the way.
Everyone understood what this "unnecessary trouble" was, four words: a beauty's calamity.
They did not want to fight their way through.
Except for Jiang Chen, no one else in the team had been to Notting City and did not know that it was in the branch hall of Notting City that Jiang Chen's life had begun to change.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen poked his head out again and asked, "Who is the current hall master of the Notting City branch hall?"
"Su Yuntao." The Soul Douluo-level captain replied.
Sure enough, it's still Brother Tao… Jiang Chen sat back down, feeling a bit emotional.
When he left back then, he still had some resentment toward Su Yuntao.
But that trace of resentment had long since dissipated. In fact, he even felt somewhat grateful toward Su Yuntao.
Seeing the faint smile on Jiang Chen's face, Qian Renxue asked with some confusion, "Little Chen, do you know this Su Yuntao?"
Jiang Chen said, "My martial soul was awakened by Su Yuntao. Back then, he was still a small deacon. Later, he reported my situation to the Papal Palace, and the teacher personally came to take me to Spirit City."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly. "This Su Yuntao is a meritorious official of the Spirit Hall and must be rewarded."
"He should be rewarded." Jiang Chen smiled.
He wondered what kind of expression Su Yuntao would have when he saw him.
