Chapter 408 - Don't Be Afraid, I Don't Have A Dragon (4)
"People admitted defeat in all four matches, so the matches for today naturally ended," Leng Wudi said calmly. Alas! Those people were really too ruthless. He had participated in three competitions, but he had never known that the finals could be so easy! He was really envious, jealous, and hateful!
"Uh! Then what should we do?" Lan Lie was puzzled. He still wanted to enjoy the exciting battles, but they didn't give him the chance at all.
"Let's go back!" Leng Wudi turned and left.
"Wait for me!" Lan Lie hurriedly chased after them..
***
At the residence of Leng Ruoxue and the others…
After today's matches ended, they left the competition venue directly from the back entrance and returned to their residence.
"Can I admit defeat directly tomorrow?" Leng Qingtian teased happily as everyone gathered in the living room.
"Grandpa, I'll admit defeat tomorrow!" Freak said ingratiatingly. He was referring to the match between him and Leng Qingtian tomorrow. Hehe, he had to respect the old and care for the young!
"There's no need. I'm old, and I don't care about fame, benefits, and so on anymore. In the future, it will be the world of you young people," Leng Qingtian said in disapproval.
"Alright!" Freak knew that he couldn't object to his words.
"Little Lan Lan, there are only the three of us left now. Can we settle it in a day tomorrow?" Leng Ruoxue asked uncertainly.
"According to tradition, there will be two rounds tomorrow. The top three will emerge after all of them are over," Lan Ming explained.
"That's good." Phew, the entire competition could finally end tomorrow. Leng Ruoxue immediately felt much more relaxed, even though she didn't have much pressure to begin with.
"Little Snowy, where do you intend to go after the competition tomorrow?" Lan Ming asked sadly, his clear eyes full of reluctance.
"I don't know. Do you have any good recommendations? It's best if it's a place with a lot of medicinal herbs and minerals and where we can train." Leng Ruoxue stated her request.
"Uh! I actually know of a place that meets your requirements," Lan Ming said with several black lines hanging on his head. Alas! This girl's requirements were really high! But there really was such a place on the Boundless Heaven Continent. It was just that it was too dangerous inside, so very few people dared to go there.
"Where?" Leng Ruoxue asked with interest.
"That place is called the Dark Night Seas," Lan Ming said very cautiously.
"Little Snowy, you can't go there," Icy, who had his eyes closed, suddenly said.
"Why?" Leng Ruoxue was even more curious when she heard that she couldn't go. A place that Icy said she couldn't go should be very dangerous.
"That is one of the most dangerous places on the Boundless Heaven Continent. There are many transcendent divine beasts inside. Moreover, that place has no distinction between day and night, and it's forever shrouded in darkness. I'm not a hundred percent sure that I can protect you wherever you go, so you can't just go anywhere now," Icy said very seriously. People had to at least have the strength of a Mystic Supremacy if they wanted to go wherever they wished. Moreover, they couldn't go alone. Otherwise, even a Mystic Supremacy wouldn't be able to return alive.
"Not now? When can I go?" Leng Ruoxue asked in disappointment. Boohoo… She also knew that her current strength was too low.
"Your current strength is definitely not enough. But if you can have the strength of a Mystic Sovereign, I can still guarantee that you will come out alive," Icy said after some thought. He was not an ordinary transcendent divine beast, so protecting a Mystic Sovereign wasn't a problem.
"Oh!"
"Little Lan Lan, you better tell me a place where I can go now," Leng Ruoxue complained, her watery eyes glaring fiercely at Lan Ming.
Lan Ming thought for a while. "Uh! Then let's go to Blue Cloud City! Don't you need medicinal herbs? There will be a grand medicinal herb exchange meeting there soon, and many alchemists will go to exchange."
"Blue Cloud City? The main city of the Lan family?" Leng Ruoxue asked.
"Yes, Blue Cloud City organizes such a medicinal herb exchange every year. The Lan family has a few alchemists, so they value medicinal herbs very much," Lan Ming explained.
"Miss, the medicinal herb exchange in Blue Cloud City is very famous on the Boundless Heaven Continent. Countless alchemists and medicinal herb merchants gather every year. But the medicinal herb exchange requires an invitation. Even alchemists might not be able to go," Zheng En said. An exchange meeting of that scale was undoubtedly attractive to alchemists. But ordinary alchemists or nameless alchemists like him who had no status at all were not qualified to enter.
"I see!" Leng Ruoxue glared at Lan Ming with some dissatisfaction. Why does this fellow keep talking about places we can't go! Is he doing it on purpose?!
"Don't stare at me. Since I said so, you can definitely go," Lan Ming said helplessly. Why didn't this girl have much trust in him? He was depressed!
"Don't tell me I have to go to the Alchemist Association to do a level appraisal?" Leng Ruoxue said with a slight warning tone. She didn't want to go to the Alchemist Association now, nor did she want too many people to know her identity as an alchemist.
"No need! Although I can't invite you with my identity as a member of the Lan family, I can still ask for a few invitations for you," Lan Ming said confidently. Lan Lie happened to be here, so he would ask him for them tomorrow.
"Oh, that's more like it." Leng Ruoxue was very satisfied with Lan Ming's response.
"By the way, when will the exchange begin?" Leng Ruoxue asked.
"A month and a half later. I was planning on going there after the competition ended. The time was just right. But the competition has ended early, so there will be a period of time before the exchange meeting. But if we travel slower, we will only arrive at Blue Cloud City a few days before the exchange meeting," Lan Ming said.
"Grandpa, let's go to Blue Cloud City first!" Leng Ruoxue said to Leng Qingtian and the others.
"Okay." Everyone nodded. Medicinal herbs were also very important to them.
"Alright, it's getting late. Everyone, rest early!" Leng Ruoxue said and left the living room with Freak without looking back.
The next morning, Leng Ruoxue and the others arrived at the competition venue on time.
"There seems to be a lot fewer people watching today!" Old Man said from his seat.
