——(POV third person)——

Usually, everyone has to enter the city on foot but the big brasses of the continent, be it the seven holy lands or nine big families can fly their ships into the city and get out of their ships after they are inside the city.

Li Huang could see a ship that belonged to the Li Family close to their ship as their went toward where they were supposed to depart from their flying ships. This ship wasn't flying close to them by a coincident as this was planned by Li Yong and Li Long so that Li Huang and Li Wanrou could be closer together and they can minimize the chance for them to get attacked separately.

Obviously, the heavenly sword sect elders and even the Li family elders were in the dark about this as the smallest mistake could blow the whole mission. Well, despite not knowing about this, they didn't have a problem moving forward together as Li Long was the heavenly sword sect's patriarch and the Li family head, so both parties were on friendly terms, and with some quick

communications between the two ships, they decided to continue on their path together as they both had the same destination.

Like this, they both got to the city without anything unexpected happening on the way. Li Huang and others who were training when they were on the way didn't see the Li Family ship and Li Huang only knew about it as he was told about the plan a couple of times.

"Disciples, please get ready as we should leave the flying ship soon." elder Zhong Zedong said just to remind everyone that they have to get out of the flying treasure.

The rule to stop flying by any means was created in the five river city to maximize the profits. They wanted everyone to at the very least do window shopping when they are in the city, but they couldn't do so if everyone were flying left and right so they established this rule. At first, there were some 'how dare you to make me walk' and 'I want to see who dares to stop me from flying' but as the time passed and these individuals saw that they can't do as they please— at least in this city, the complains stopped but they soon saw that this was not an efficient way to handle this issue and not a single powerhouse in the continent would accept to walk all day and this was not a matter of pride, they simply didn't want to waste that much of their time walking around the city for an item when they can pay someone to do it for them.

To fix this, they created a network of teleportation formations in the city that could teleport you to other formations in the city, providing a small sum of money. Well, small in their standards but that fixed the issue as now the experts didn't have to waste time getting around the city and the window shopping still existed as not everyone was willing to spend that 'small sum of money' when they can walk in the city.

"Huang, do you know a good place to eat here?" Cai ZhenKang asked as he put a hand on Li Huang's shoulder. He was really looking at this travel as vacation and hence, he wanted to eat and drink as much as he could. No matter how fat he gets, he would lose them in a day's worth of training, so why would he stop himself? Of course, he was counting on Li Huang to pay for the meals and drinks as he was the one with the money.

Li Huang looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"You know that this is my first time in the five river city, right?" Li Huang asked. He couldn't understand why Cai ZhenKang thought that he knew some good restaurants here.

"Well, you didn't know that there was going to be a beast horde in the trial, but that didn't stop you from being ready for it to happen." Cai ZhenKang just shrugged to show that it seemed obvious to him that Li Huang would know about it.

Li Huang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as he couldn't believe that Cai ZhenKang could deduct this much about him in this short amount of time.

"Were you always this observant?" Li Huang nodded and asked.

"Well, I couldn't do much but observe this past month…" Cai ZhenKang said as after the training he could only use his eyes, ears, and mind as his body was spent.

Li Huang started laughing as this couldn't be more true.

"Alright, we can go to a good restaurant after we got off the flying ship." Li Huang said while he was walking out of the ship. The flying ship had already stopped so it was clearly time for them to get off.

"Junior uncle, what should we do for the night?" Hu Anjing got closer to Li Huang as they were getting off the ship. They had a day before the auction so they had to do something before the main event.

"Well, I was going to eat something and see if I can find something useful in the shops." Li Huang said. This is a good chance to see if he could find some good items that no one has found yet…

"Let us all go there together as I think we all deserve it after what we went through in the trial." Li Huang said as he could see that his fellow disciples were listening intently.

"Of course, as I have invited you, I will also naturally pay." Li Huang added. He was planning to buy some high-quality food to store in his storage ring so paying for his fellow disciples on the side wouldn't add a burden to his overflowing pockets. In reality, this was the reason he checked the restaurants in the five river city before they came here.

""Thank you, senior brother!"" Most of the disciples said in unison and some of the disciples from the previous generations politely declined as they had their own plans.

Meanwhile, the elders from the heavenly sword sect were talking with the elders from the Li family. The members of the Li family slowly got out of their flying ship and leading them was none other than Li Wanrou. By the time she located Li Huang and his fellow disciples, they were done talking about the plan to go to a good restaurant.

"Huang." Li Wanrou called to Li Huang as she got closer to his group.

"Wanrou." Li Huang greeted her and the other disciples also paid attention. Many of them have seen Li Wanrou in the trial but for some who were not there, it was their first time seeing her.

"These are your younger brothers and sisters from our family." Li Wanrou said with a tone that didn't leave room for question.

""Big brother Huang."" Everyone in the group cupped their fists to Li Huang. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

Li Huang nodded to them with a warm smile as he could see that most of them had curiosity in their eyes because they have never seen him before. His smile became a little stiff as he could see that in this group of 12 family members, clearly five of them were older than him. But why did they call him big brother? Li Huang looked at them and could easily see that they had a hard time uttering the word but it seemed that Li Wanrou had put them in line before coming here.

"Wanrou, do you have something planned for this afternoon?" Li Huang asked.

"No, we wanted to walk in the city a little and then head to our lodgings." Li Wanrou said as she shook her head.

Li Huang who heard this smiled and nodded.

"Good then, why don't we go together. We can also eat afterward as I know of a good restaurant here…" Li Huang said. The first part was their plan as they wanted whoever that is following them to think that they are in control as the moment they get out of the city, they are up for grabs. The second part was not in the plan but as Li Huang had made plans for eating with his fellow disciples it would be weird if he didn't invite his family members.

Li Wanrou could see that the others from the heavenly sword sect were not surprised, so it was easy for her to know that they had this planned before and she was invited out of necessity but that somehow didn't sit well with her, so she decided to make Li Huang pay for this a little. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

"Okay, you are paying." Li Wanrou said with the same tone as before to show that Li Huang can't change her mind.

"But of course…" Li Huang said. He didn't see this as an inconvenience because he would have done so either way.
