Chapter 1397 - 628: Visitors from the Xu Family

"No need to worry, Shi Xiaokun will handle it."

Ning Qi was indifferent.

"Master, where should we go, it’s getting late."

Medicine Spirit no longer said much but looked at the sky and spoke.

"Just in the city, find a place to rest."

"When dawn breaks, we’ll head to Wanxiao Sect outside the city."

Ning Qi began to observe the surroundings.

Clearly looking for a place to rest.

"Master, I think we might as well rest at the south gate tower."

"The terrain here is the highest and we can see far."

"If anything happens, we can discover it first."

Medicine Spirit pointed in a direction and suggested.

"Alright, let’s go there then."

Ning Qi didn’t hesitate, agreeing immediately.

Then he and Medicine Spirit set off directly, sprinting towards the city gate.

They soon arrived at the top of the gate.

"Master, isn’t it nice here? Standing here, we can observe the situation in the entire city."

"We can even see far outside the city."

Medicine Spirit stood on the rooftop, gazing into the distance.

Ning Qi stood on the rooftop as well.

The rubble crunched beneath his feet but didn’t collapse.

This showed how solid the gate was built back then.

"Hmm, I’ll set up several Ruo Shui Three Thousand Arrays."

"Even if something happens, we can discover it first."

Ning Qi nodded and then pointed forward saying, "Tomorrow, we’ll take this official road to Wanxiao Sect."

"Okay."

Medicine Spirit agreed and then started observing the situation here.

Ning Qi began laying out the Ruo Shui Three Thousand Array.

The two of them worked for one two-hour period, finally turning this place into a safe temporary resting spot.

"Alright, we can rest now."

Ning Qi looked at his masterpiece and said very satisfied.

After Medicine Spirit agreed, he too found a spot to adjust his breathing and rest.

The sky was getting darker, dusk had arrived.

However, while they were resting leisurely, a group of people appeared about ten miles outside the city gate.

"Master, it seems someone is coming."

Medicine Spirit was alert, discovering someone approaching first.

Then he got up and came to Ning Qi’s side, saying.

"Oh? There’s actually someone coming."

Ning Qi said as he sat up directly, looking outside from the attic.

He found that indeed, there were some people walking over in front.

"Looks familiar, isn’t that Xu Wanrou?"

"I think Miss Zhao introduced her to us."

Medicine Spirit looked forward and said solemnly.

"Hmm, it’s her, but why isn’t she with her brother."

Ning Qi nodded and said sternly, "By rights, they shouldn’t be at this location. They should be moving in the opposite direction from us."

"Turning around the Inner Realm should take at least a month to get here."

"That’s unknown, maybe they got lost?"

Medicine Spirit was also very interested and analyzed together.

"No need to pay attention, let’s just rest."

Ning Qi shook his head and simply ignored it.

Instead, he directly activated the array he had set up around the city gate tower.

Creating a curtain of light that enveloped the two of them within.

Preventing them from being disturbed after they come over.

His actions here were seen by Xu Wanrou and her people below.

On her side, there were more than ten people, all obviously her followers.

"Miss, in this abandoned city, there are actually people."

One of the followers stepped forward and said.

"Oh, people don’t prevent us from resting here."

Xu Wanrou looked ahead casually and said, "Xu Qian, let’s go find a safe place. The monsters might come out again after dark."

"Hmm, let’s go."

Xu Qian agreed and directly began to set off together.

The other followers behind him also followed one after another, all showing guarded expressions.

Clearly, they all felt uneasy about having people here.

Something must have happened to these people.

The group quickly arrived at this side of the city gate.

"Miss, someone actually set up a Defensive Array here."

Xu Qian pointed to the gate and said solemnly.

"I see it’s only at the gate tower here. It’s still possible to enter the gate freely!"

Xu Wanrou looked seriously: "Let’s go. Everyone minded their own business."

"I should greet them and ask about the situation to avoid being tricked inside."

Xu Qian showed concern and said.

"Alright, go see who they are."

"Don’t know if it’s Xu Xiaoran’s group or people from the Zhao family."

Xu Wanrou then analyzed and said.

"I’ll go ask and find out."

Xu Qian agreed and then took the lead, calling in the direction of the tower: "Brothers up there, which family are you from?"

"The Zhao family."

Ning Qi heard someone below asking and didn’t hesitate.

He responded directly.

"The Zhao family? We’re from the Xu family, just passing by. Please don’t mind any disturbance."

Xu Qian replied politely.

"Feel free, I’m just looking for a quiet place to rest."

"You can do whatever you want inside."

Ning Qi said very straightforwardly.

Actually, he had already scavenged almost all inside.

Whatever they wanted to find wouldn’t yield anything.

However, he didn’t know their purpose.

If he knew they were fleeing, he wouldn’t let them approach casually.

"Okay."

"Let’s go."

After Xu Qian agreed, he waved to the people behind him.

Only then did they all walk into the city.

Before entering, Xu Wanrou looked up once.

"I feel he looks familiar, which person from the Zhao family is he?"
