Chapter 1950 1951: My Treat
Zhang Zhenlin said, "I know a really great restaurant in Rainbow City. The food there might not be as tasty as what Brother Ling makes, but it's quite unique. How about I treat you guys?"
Sun Wei laughed and said, "Sure, sure. We've been eating Brother Ling's food up on the mountain all the time. It's about time we return the hospitality."
At this moment, Murong Liuqing said, "No, it's too late. We must leave quickly. If we can avoid stopping along the way, we should."
Zhang Zhenlin said, "That won't do. You know, people can't go without food. Missing even one meal makes you really hungry."
Sun Wei added, "Traveling requires energy. How can we travel if we don't eat our fill? Besides, it's already late. Even if we try to catch up now, it's too late."
Murong Liuqing said, "You all need to listen to me. We must go as I say. You need to be quicker. We're already late. If we delay any further, we won't be able to make it to Xianling Mountain."
Ling Zhenfei realized that trying to reason with Murong Liuqing at this point was impossible; she was just too domineering.
Ling Zhenfei said, "You two should stop talking. Let's just follow Miss Murong. If a young lady isn't afraid of the hardships, how can we be?"
Ling Zhenfei was giving the other two a look, indicating them to keep quiet.
The two stopped talking and followed Murong Liuqing downhill.
Each of them carried the residual spiritual energy. The mountainous path was rough, but to them, it felt like they were walking on flat ground.
There were no restrictions when going downhill, so they descended quickly. Once they reached the base, Murong Liuqing immediately dashed in a particular direction without stopping.
Ling Zhenfei and the other two could only follow behind. It was easy to see how anxious Murong Liuqing was, as she moved incredibly fast.
Ling Zhenfei quickened his pace to catch up with her and asked, "Miss Murong, have you taken this route to Xianling Mountain before?"
Murong Liuqing replied, "I haven't been to Xianling Mountain yet."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback and asked, "Then how are you determining the direction?"
Murong Liuqing said, "There are exclusive marks of Wuliang Mountain on this path. Before starting, our senior brothers and junior brothers from Wuliang Mountain traveled this route once, leaving our unique markers. So as long as we follow the marks, we can't go wrong."
It was clear that Wuliang Mountain had made preparations in advance, so the concerns Ling Zhenfei had didn't seem to exist.
This path was mostly through the mountains, a convenience that meant they wouldn't attract attention, allowing them to freely use their spiritual energy to run.
Murong Liuqing was running ahead, with Ling Zhenfei and the others following behind. Sun Wei said, "Brother Ling, are we really going to keep running like this?"
Ling Zhenfei replied, "Judging by the situation, it certainly seems possible."
Zhang Zhenlin said, "That's just crazy. We could easily take a plane or a train, but we're running instead. At least we've seen some beautiful scenery along the way."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I've been calculating. How long would it take to run to Xianling Mountain, and if we arrive, will we still make it for the opening of the Foreign Land Space?"
Sun Wei said, "From here to Xianling Mountain, it's all winding mountain paths. Whether we can make it on time is really a question."
Zhang Zhenlin also joined in, saying, "This girl just wants to keep running, and it seems like there's nothing we can do about it."
Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Looks like we'll have to keep running with her for now. Maybe if we're not tired, she might tire out."
The three of them continued to run forward with Murong Liuqing, following the path opened by the predecessors, and quickly ran out of Wuliang Mountain.
After leaving Wuliang Mountain, it was no longer a mountain path. They needed to pass through a small town to reach another mountain.
Sun Wei said to Murong Liuqing, "Miss Murong, I suggest that we should rest a bit. With so much traffic in this town, you can't keep running like you did before."
Murong Liuqing, focused on walking, said, "Now that we're in a town, we can rest a bit and don't need to use spiritual energy, but we still need to keep moving forward."
Sun Wei, somewhat unhappy, said, "We're not even allowed to rest. Why should we listen to you?
After hearing this, Murong Liuqing turned around and said, "Taking you to Xianling Mountain is our task, so you must listen to me."
Sun Wei's face didn't look too pleased as he said, "We're just Guest Elders of Wuliang Mountain, not its disciples. The rules of Wuliang Mountain don't apply to us."
Murong Liuqing angrily said, "Do you want to test my strength?"
As she spoke, Murong Liuqing already had her flute in hand, but Sun Wei was not intimidated and said, "Go ahead, try me. You think I'm scared of you?"
Seeing this, Ling Zhenfei quickly stepped between the two and said, "Alright, stop fighting. Why argue over something so simple?"
Sun Wei said, "Brother Ling, there are some things I've been meaning to say. We're Guest Elders, why should we abide by Wuliang Mountain's rules? The people of Wuliang Mountain choose to walk from Wuliang to Xianling Mountain.
But since we're not from Wuliang Mountain, why should we follow such rules? When we were invited, no one mentioned that we need to follow all of Wuliang Mountain's rules.
I'm the kind of person who keeps my word. If I say I'm going to Xianling Mountain, or to the Foreign Land Space, I'm going, but I refuse to walk there. If Wuliang Mountain's people are worried I'll run away, they can send someone to accompany me. If not, that's fine too."
Sun Wei glanced at Zhang Zhenlin and then at Ling Zhenfei, saying, "How about you guys? If you want to take a plane, come with me. If you prefer running, follow this girl."
Murong Liuqing got angry after hearing this and waved her flute, saying, "No, absolutely not. You must come with me. If not, I won't be polite to you."
In terms of strength, Murong Liuqing is definitely above Sun Wei, so if they fight alone, Sun Wei wouldn't have the advantage.
At this point, Zhang Zhenlin also said, "I'm thinking the same. This matter is really simple. If we take a plane, we'll reach Xianling Mountain in at most two days.
If we walk, who knows if it'll take us ten or twenty days? By then, the entrance to the Foreign Land Space might be closed, so I choose to fly. If you're walking, then go ahead. See you at Xianling Mountain."
Murong Liuqing was a bit stunned. If it were just Sun Wei, it would be manageable. But now with Zhang Zhenlin joining in, if these two experts from the Realm of Reaching Wisdom jointly oppose her, Murong Liuqing would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.
For some reason, Murong Liuqing looked at Ling Zhenfei, unsure if she wanted him to give his opinion or was seeking his support.
Not only Murong Liuqing, but Zhang Zhenlin and Sun Wei were also looking at Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei was slightly taken aback. In his heart, he certainly didn't want to run. Such time-consuming and energy-draining things should have been abandoned long ago.
