Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!

Chapter 426: Detained

Although Yao Zhi said so, Ling Ershi still walked in front of her as they moved closer to the pond. Yao Zhi squatted at the edge of the pond and realized that it was actually a natural hot spring.

She scooped a handful of water and took a sniff. There was no sulfuric smell, but stilled water was dangerous. So, it was best not to go inside.

After she washed her hands with soap and water taken from her System river, she said, "Ershi, don’t go inside the pond."

Ling Ershi didn’t know why his Master said so, but he still nodded. "Understood."

Yao Zhi walked around the pond and thought for a while before she picked up several branches from the ground.

She had never tried it before, but after she started cultivating, she felt that she could use her spiritual energy to walk on the water’s surface.

Taking a deep breath, she calmed her mind. The next moment, she threw one of the branches into the pond as she jumped.

Splash!

The moment the branch bounced on the water, she circulated her spiritual energy and focused it on her feet. When her feet touched the branch, she used it as a stepping stone and leaped into the air.

She used the rest of the branches as stepping stones and reached the center of the pond in several seconds.

To pick the snow lotuses, she took out a cotton belt from her System’s storage and threw it toward the plants. With her spiritual energy injected into the belt, it became as strong as steel and as agile as a snake.

It wrapped around the plants, and with a pull, Yao Zhi uprooted them from the pond. The next moment, she stored the snow lotuses in her System’s storage. Using the same method, she leaped out of the pond.

Standing at the edge of the pond, Ling Ershi’s eyes widened in shock as he witnessed the scene.

He was sure that his Master didn’t know any martial arts when they first met. He didn’t know when she had suddenly become an expert. Her qinggong was so powerful that it was far above Ling Shiqi’s!

After Yao Zhi obtained the snow lotuses, she let out a sigh. She never expected that she would one day be able to walk on the water’s surface. It was so fun and exciting!

Since the snow lotuses were too valuable, she quickly planted them in the System’s lake. There were a total of 7 snow lotuses. As soon as she put them in the lake, they took root and swayed slightly.

Patting her hands, Yao Zhi turned to Ling Ershi and saw him staring at her with wide eyes. She smiled and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Coming back to his senses, Ling Ershi said, "Master, your qinggong is so powerful!"

"I just started practicing not long ago. Today is the first time I’ve tried it out." After she said this, Yao Zhi patted his shoulder and said, "We should go now, or we won’t reach the location before dark."

While the two of them were climbing the mountain, Su Hanli was smashing things in his tent at this moment.

Crash!

The sound of a shattered bowl echoed inside the tent, followed by his angry shout, "What gives you the right to detain me?! I’m the Imperial Envoy!"

Standing a few steps away from him, Gao Yan cupped his fists and replied flatly, "Lord Su, please don’t make things difficult for this subordinate. It’s the General’s order. If Lord Su has any complaints, you can tell the General directly."

Hearing this, Su Hanli glared at him. If looks could kill, Gao Yan would be dead a hundred times by now.

"Do you think I don’t want to?! How am I supposed to tell him if I can’t even leave this tent?! Call him over, right now!"

Facing his shouts, Gao Yan didn’t show anything in his expression. He stood there and let him scold and curse as much as he wanted while ignoring his demands.

It was only after Su Hanli finished venting his anger and sat down that he said, "Lord Su, the General is busy handling the Northeast City’s affairs and can’t visit you. When he finishes his work, he will naturally come to find you."

"Lord Su must be tired from the long journey and the crude living environment. It’s normal for you to feel unwell. To avoid worsening your condition, the General ordered us to make sure that you can recuperate in peace."

After saying this, he turned around and left the tent. "The Imperial Envoy has fallen sick due to overwork. Besides sending him meals and medicine, no one is allowed to disturb him."

"Understood!"

The moment Su Hanli heard these words, his vision darkened, and he almost fainted from anger. It took him a long time to recover.

Clenching his fists, he said through gritted teeth, "Lu Qianxuan, how dare you put me under house arrest! If I don’t repay this humiliation, I won’t be called Su Hanli!"

Despite his hatred and anger, he was detained in his tent. No matter how much he shouted or cursed, no one paid him any attention.

When he refused to eat, the soldiers used force to feed him. To make sure that he didn’t do anything extreme, they even force-fed him calming soup.

The calming soup was very effective. After taking the medicine, it only took him 15 minutes to fall into a deep sleep.

With Su Hanli and his people under his control, Lu Qianxuan could finally act more freely.

Following his wife’s suggestions and Lei Feng’s donation, the progress of rebuilding the Northeast City went smoothly.

The White Tiger Army also managed to gather information about the barbarians by scouting the situation in the nearby towns and villages.

Since this city was located at the border, it was normal for people from other kingdoms and tribes to visit and trade.

Therefore, when the news that the Northeast City had been reclaimed by the Great Yan Kingdom spread, several caravans finally decided to visit and check the situation.
