Chapter 296 A familiar portal?
Under the Dan League flying boat.
Qi Wei and Li Chonglin were sitting in the tea stall, and the depressing atmosphere made the tea drinkers around them avoid them.
The stall owner rubbed his hands together and asked, "Would you like more water, sirs?"
Li Chonglin frowned: "I will call you when I need you, please leave first."
"Sir," the stall owner said in embarrassment, "while you two are standing here, all the customers have left."
"Our small business can't afford to waste money!"
Li Chonglin slapped a silver ingot with his backhand, and it landed on the table with a "clack". "I'll pay for the tea at your stall."
The stall owner happily picked up the silver ingot, put it in his mouth and bit it hard, and he immediately cried out in pain.
Li Zhonglin asked back: "Why? Are you afraid it's fake?"
The stall owner smiled and said, "No, no! There's a box of snacks in the drawer. I'll bring it to you two right away!"
After saying that, the tea stall owner slipped away with the silver ingot.
Qi Wei looked at Li Chonglin and was shocked: "How can a dignified prince be so rude to the people?"
Li Chonglin said, "The person who made me so angry is right in front of me."
Qi Wei looked around in surprise, muttering, "Where? Where?"
Li Chonglin snorted coldly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, but choked on the scalding taste, and his face became even gloomier.
"I say, there's no need to be so unfamiliar, right?" Qi Wei sipped his tea elegantly. "This Saint Son is not some monstrous beast."
"Qi Wei."
"uh-huh?"
"What exactly do I want you to do in order to let Lu Yuguan go?"
Qi Wei held his chin and looked at the flying boat in the sky. "Who knows? If I get tired, I will naturally leave."
"you!"
Li Chonglin pounded the table.
He only remembered to restrain himself when he touched the table, and almost overturned the other person's stall.
"But... the closer I get to him, the fresher it feels," Qi Wei licked his lips, "I guess it'll be hard to get tired of him..."
Li Chonglin's breath was floating, and the dragon-patterned sword at his waist was humming faintly, as if it would be unsheathed in the next second.
Qi Wei ignored him, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table, and said nonchalantly: "This Saint Son has entered the high level of the Golden Core for three years..."
"You are a cultivator who has just formed a core, so you are not worthy of this Saint Son's attention."
Li Chonglin suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth, saying, "It's just a mutant mist spirit root. I've gained a few more years of cultivation. Give me another year and I'll definitely be as high as you!"
Qi Wei smiled: "Well said, in that case, then the Holy Son will be waiting for you..."
"If you can drive me off the throne of the Holy Son, I, Qi Wei, swear, I will never bother Junior Brother Lu again."
Li Zhonglin sneered, "Qi, you will fall sooner or later!"
Qi Wei shrugged and took a sip of tea nonchalantly. "You've asked me so many questions. I'd like to ask you something—"
"You've been with Junior Brother Lu for so long, have you ever truly understood him?"
"Of course," Li Chonglin said solemnly, "Nanzhou is fighting demons together, living and dying together, and we have long been honest with each other."
Qi Wei suddenly burst into laughter, attracting the attention of everyone around him.
"What are you laughing at?"
Li Chonglin asked.
"Li Chonglin, this Saint Son truly feels pity for you," Qi Wei sneered, "What you can see with your eyes is only a small corner."
"What do you mean?"
Li Chonglin frowned.
Qi Wei leaned in closer and said, "Let me ask you, do you really understand Junior Brother Lu?"
Li Chonglin opened his mouth but no sound came out.
The man in front of me asked this question, he must know some unspeakable secrets.
And it’s about Yuguan.
But he was unwilling to give in, and even for the sake of his self-esteem, he refused to lower himself.
"Yuguan is my future Taoist companion. Whether he understands this or not is probably none of Saint Son's business."
Li Chonglin shouted in a deep voice.
A corner of the tea stall's bamboo curtain was lifted by the draft, revealing the two men's stunning profiles.
Qi Wei's fingertips traced a half-circle of water on the rim of the cup, and he suddenly said, "I heard that there's a prince from the northern border who's also very interested in Junior Brother Lu."
Li Chonglin clenched the teacup, and the clear water in the cup trembled slightly.
Qi Wei smiled playfully, "Li Chonglin, you're not confident enough."
"enough!"
Li Chonglin suddenly stood up, and the dragon-patterned sword at his waist hummed as it unsheathed three inches.
"If you want to sow discord, why waste your breath?"
Qi Wei stroked the bone bell calmly, "This Saint Son has no such intention."
"I won't waste my time with you. Judging by the time, Ye should have reached the final level of the Dan League rating..."
"Don't you want to go up and take a look?"
Li Chonglin remained silent and said nothing.
Qi Wei was not annoyed, and said lightly: "It is said that this year's rating has some new tricks. This is such a wonderful thing, and this Saint Son does not want to miss it."
After saying that, Qi Wei flashed and flew into the air.
The stall owner came over with some snacks and happened to see this scene. He was so scared that he trembled all over: "Immortal... Immortal!"
Li Chonglin shouted: "Shut up!——"
The stall owner suddenly lost his temper and placed the snacks on the table tremblingly.
Looking at Qi Wei's back, Li Chonglin's eyes moved slightly.
"Want to interfere with the relationship between the king and Yuguan?"
"Since we're going to muddy the waters, we might as well... muddy it up a lot!"
……
On the flying boat.
When the disciples of the Dan League lifted up the huge bronze gate, Lu Yuguan's pupils suddenly shrank.
The system prompt sounded immediately——
[Ding! Side quest detected [Explore the portal]]

[Mission Difficulty: Five Stars]

Lu Yuguan swallowed.
Could it be that……
Does this have the same origin as the portal to Nanzhou?
Qingjue's wide sleeves brushed past the door, and a vortex suddenly appeared.
He glanced at the remaining thirty or so people below the stage and slowly spoke: "The third level, Chuangdan——"
"This gate is a teleportation gate captured by our Dan League. It connects to an extraterritorial space and has been cultivated into a medicine realm by the leader of the alliance."
"Please enter the medicine selection section and choose the five herbs you need."
"In two hours, regardless of whether you are alive or dead, the portal will take you back to the flying boat."
"Do you understand?"
Everyone shouted in unison: "Understood——"
Nangong Luo took a step forward and said, "Everyone, please come in!"
All the contestants walked slowly into the huge bronze gate. Lu Yuguan stared at the door in front of him and couldn't help swallowing.
Zhuo Hua poked him from behind and said, "Fellow Daoist Xia Yuan, if we can meet inside, perhaps we can cooperate."
Lu Yuguan turned his head and said, "That's exactly what I meant."
Shen He, who was standing aside, had a gloomy face and a weird expression, like a piece of moldy tofu.
Zhuo Hua suddenly reminded Lu Yuguan: "Be careful of Shen He, he might do something."
Lu Yuguan said confidently: "Don't worry, once I enter the Medicine Realm, I can let go of my hands and feet and will never give in to him!"
Zhuohua nodded and said no more.
