C92

On the streets of the Jiang Capital, it was bustling with people coming to and fro, especially the wheelbarrow carrying goods. There were many carriages, usually dozens or even hundreds of them, showing off the city's characteristics as a transit station.

Following Le Heng through many streets, without realizing it, Lee Xun saw a few familiar people at a small restaurant, it was and the others from Jade Immortals Sword Sect. Previously, when he heard that Chang Gui had arranged for his group to be on the same boat as the people from Jade Immortals Sword Sect, Li Xu had thought that he would bump into some familiar people, but he did not expect to meet them here, but Lee Xun did not say anything.

Although it was seven stories high, it was now time for lunch. There were quite a few customers queuing up outside the restaurant, so it was clear that the place was full of guests.

But Le Heng did not bring Lee Xun and the others with him to the queue, and directly went in. Seeing that Le Heng had brought so many people in, the manager of the first floor immediately welcomed him and smiled: "Are you disciples of Dongting Sword Sect?"

Le Heng nodded his head, and then gave his identity badge back to the manager. The manager only glanced at it once, then returned it to Le Heng, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please head up to the third floor.

On the way up, Le Heng said: "This River Viewing Restaurant is actually opened by our Dongting Sword Sect, and the third floor is reserved for Dongting Sword Sect disciples all year round. If there are no special circumstances, the third floor won't be full, so I don't need to queue up."

Lee Xun and the rest nodded, people of Dongting Sword Sect seemed to have their own privileges in the east.

After finding a room close to the river, someone immediately came over to serve them. Le Heng ordered a big table of dishes, making the waiter a little confused. He naturally thought that there were too many of them, all of them were naturally for Little Zixing.

"Don't just stand there. Tell the kitchen to serve the food faster, we have to catch up to the boat after we finish eating. We won't eat for nothing if we order something, we won't lose a cent." Seeing that the waiter did not leave for a long time, Le Heng also laughed loudly.

After the attendant left, Le Heng said: "Even though the third floor is only open to our disciples from the additional sects, it's nothing more than that. In the past, we could get a fifty percent discount, but because the dishes here were too delicious, and a lot of disciples came over, Sword Sect could only cancel the preferential policies. "

When the delicious smell of the river came out, everyone was attracted by the delicious dishes and started to eat. Even Qin Qing who was always taking care of her food had eaten a lot, Little Zixing did not even need to eat a lot.

After a hearty meal, the waiter cleaned up the table and brought out the tea and fruits.

"Lee Xun, have you heard of the Jade Immortals Sword Sect that is going to boat with us in the afternoon?"

"Hehe, Qing and I have interacted with the Jade Immortals Sword Sect before. More than two years ago, we had sparred with a few disciples from their Sword Sect at the Southern Young Tournament. However, we do not really understand the true nature of Jade Immortals Sword Sect. "

"The Jade Immortals Sword Sect has already been established more than a thousand years ago. It was probably established even before your Tianshan Sword Sect was established. But later, for some reason, Jade Immortals Sword Sect only took in those female orphans as disciples, and as a result, they gradually declined. The business that they were previously in charge of, was also slowly being snatched away by others. It was said that in the past few years, their financial resources had been completely cut off, so they could only rely on escorting caravans to earn money to maintain the normal expenses within the faction. They were all female disciples, and one could tell how difficult life was for them. I also heard that they don't have much left over from their Sword Sect and they all keep it for their tribute every three years. However, the disciples of Jade Immortals Sword Sect are all very ambitious and their sword techniques are also not bad.

"Oh? Their Sword Sect s are actually so difficult, no wonder they went to participate in the southern youth competition just for that prize. "

"Hehe, I have also heard of the Martial Competition in your south before. The Pineflower and prizes are really very generous and the rewards are very high. From what I know, more and more Sword Sect in the east are going to participate. "

"That's true. According to the current development of the Jade Immortals Sword Sect, how much contribution points do they have to pay in three years?"

"Three years and a hundred fifty thousand purple coins. That is fifty thousand purple coins a year."

"So many?" Lu Tuan was shocked. Lee Xun and the rest were also startled, they did not think that Jade Immortals Sword Sect would require them to pay such a large tribute.

"It's hard to imagine. A Sword Sect that already relied on selling physical strength actually required such a huge amount of tribute. In fact, it was actually very easy to earn money with Jade Immortals Sword Sect. As long as they accepted a lot of disciples, even if it was just female disciples, there would be people who would deliver a lot of money to win a spot for their daughter. Just based on the performance of the disciples of the Jade Immortals Sword Sect at the tournament every three years, no one would doubt it. That's why the elders of my Dongting Sword Sect are so adamant about not reducing their tribute. However, if Jade Immortals Sword Sect continues, I'm afraid that they will either disband, or leave the east side for your south. However, if that happens, they will definitely be pushed down and excluded by the southern region's Sword Sect, country, and some other idle forces. Their days will not be any better. " As he said till here, Lee Xun and the others could all hear the sympathy Le Heng had towards the Jade Immortals Sword Sect.

"Husband, if I knew this would happen, I would have let that Yudia win the individual competition." Qin Qing said with regret.

"Silly girl, even if that Yudia got the champion spot in the individual competition, what about in the future, will they still have good luck? They had to find a way to cure it. Brother Le Heng, do you know why they have such huge changes in terms of taking in disciples? "

"I don't know about that, but this has always been something that all of us from the eastern Sword Sect want to know as well."

After talking about Jade Immortals Sword Sect, Le Heng then introduced some other Sword Sect to Li Xu and the others, which caused everyone to be interested in hearing about it.

At 1.50, Le Heng brought Lee Xun and the others to a pier in Jiang Du City, and here, Li Xu saw the Jade Immortals Sword Sect people who were waiting for them.

In this trip, there were a total of twenty people, and five of them were older, so they should be inner sect elders. Amongst the five, Yuling was one of them, and from what Lee Xun could tell, the other four seemed to be the leader of their group.

When Lee Xun and the rest walked over, and a few others recognized them from within the Jade Immortals Sword Sect.

That Yu Chan immediately came forward and said: "Are you the people who are going to board the Dongting Sword Sect with us?"

Lee Xun nodded: "That's us, I wonder if it's convenient?"

At this moment, Yuling brought everyone from the Jade Immortals Sword Sect over, and said: "It is naturally convenient. We have yet to repay the grace you had shown us within the Jade Immortals Sword Sect back then. For a small matter like today, how could there be any problems? " But after saying this, Yuling frowned slightly, and said: "You and this Miss Qin Qing have had another great breakthrough in the past two years?"

"We're both just lucky."
