On the way, Qin Lanzhi kept pestering An Ling, asking An Ling to teach her martial arts and magic. She also practiced with the bow and arrow she brought from home every day, and excitedly clamored to hunt some game for her mother and An Ling to improve their food.

But unfortunately, she had never exercised much before and her strength was too weak. At the beginning, she couldn't even pull the bow. After trying a few times, her arms were shaking and she couldn't even hold the bowl and chopsticks when eating.

An Ling observed her for a week and found that the girl was indeed determined and would not give up until she had mastered archery. So she softened her heart and secretly threw some herbs that could strengthen the bones and muscles and the pills given by the Cloud Demon into the soup every day, so that she could speed up her training without hurting her body.

"Alas, the poor are good at literature but the rich are good at martial arts. Monks can use spiritual energy to strengthen their bodies, but ordinary people cannot. Without the help of medicinal herbs, excessive exercise will harm the body. When you are old, you will be sick, and in serious cases, it will shorten your lifespan."

An Ling also taught Qin Lanzhi some basic boxing and kicking skills so that she could protect herself and her mother in the new place. However, An Ling still reminded Qin Lanzhi: "Remember, for mortals, women are not as strong as men, so the first point is, run as soon as you can, and never fight; second, strength is the most important. Although you are not very good now, through continuous practice of running, weightlifting, bow drawing and other sports, you can increase your escape speed and arm strength..."

She continued to talk about a lot of key points. Seeing Qin Lanzhi staring at her with sparkling eyes, she asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that? It's scary."

"Can I, can I call you Master?" Qin Lanzhi said awkwardly.

An Ling wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead awkwardly and said, "This... I haven't even become a master myself, how can I accept a disciple? Besides, I haven't taught you anything. These are things that can be found everywhere..." She said a lot more, the general meaning of which was that she was unwilling to accept this disciple.

Qin Lanzhi was very disappointed, but still nodded and said, "Okay, Master An, I'll listen to you."

After this incident, the relationship between An Ling and Qin Lanzhi became closer. Although they were not actually master and disciple, An Ling was still willing to teach her some useful kung fu.

Mother Qin looked at the two girls gesturing in the open space with a smile on her face. She stirred the contents of the pot and added some firewood to the campfire. She was busy running around, feeling warm and fulfilled in her heart.

"It would be nice if he were here too..." A thought suddenly appeared in her mind, breaking the bubble of fantasy like thunder. She began to recall her life and the setbacks of fate...

The three of them walked and stopped, and after nearly a month, they finally arrived in Tianxing.

Tianxing Prefecture is located in the southeast of Daxuan, very close to An Ling's hometown. She looked at the location on the map and sighed imperceptibly. She had gone around in a circle and returned again.

Tianxing Mansion is surrounded by thick and tall city walls made of stone, sand, glutinous rice and other materials. It is very strong. An Ling felt the fluctuation of spiritual energy. She touched the city wall and found that it was actually a fantasy product. It should be mixed with many exorcism supplies to defend against the invasion of ghosts!

It’s indeed a big city, it’s so amazing!

An Ling, a country bumpkin from a fishing village, was filled with emotion. It was a pity that such an impregnable defensive wall could not be built throughout the entire Daxuan territory, or a defensive line could not be built along the coast. Ordinary people like them who lived by the sea would not have to die so many times every year...

"Stop!" The guards at the city gate shouted angrily when they saw An Ling and the other two acting stealthily. Their spears were already pointed at the three people. One of the leaders said, "Come here, raise your hands high, and don't do anything tricky!"

"Sir, please spare us. We are just three weak women who came here to look for our relatives..." An Ling said as she walked.

The guard looked at the long bow behind Qin Lanzhi and the long sword hanging on An Ling's waist with suspicion. Weak woman? Haha.

"No matter who you are, when you come to Tianxing Mansion, you have to behave yourself! All of you, stand here one by one and wait for inspection!" The guards still pointed their spears at the three people, but they just pointed their mouths to the right.

An Ling had already discovered the formation on the ground when she approached: it was a circular formation that was constantly emitting blue light. The lines of the formation were not complicated. Judging from the formation core and the formation heart, it should be a detection type formation.

"Oh, it's quite strict." An Ling smiled secretly, "Not bad, demons and ghosts can't sneak into the city, so the mortals living in the city have an extra layer of security."

The three of them were all genuine humans, so the first checkpoint of Tianxing Mansion naturally could not stop them. Except when An Ling went up, the formation burst out with a strong light, shocking everyone present.

"So it's the Immortal! I'm sorry for the offense, please forgive me!" The captain of the guard had been at the city gate for many years, so he naturally knew what this meant and apologized quickly.

"Okay, okay, there's no need to mobilize so many troops." An Ling was in a hurry and was too lazy to play any pretentious games with them. She just waved her hand and led Qin Lanzhi and her daughter into Tianxing Mansion.

"Wow!" It was Qin Lanzhi's first time coming down the mountain and also her first time coming to a big city. When she saw the dazzling array of goods on the streets and passers-by with their sleeves fluttering on the neat streets, she was stunned. She opened her mouth wide and was unwilling to move for a long time.

In fact, An Ling was also quite shocked, but she had lived two lives after all, and she had seen all kinds of grand scenes when she was on Blue Star. She just showed interest and treated this place as an ancient costume street.

Mother Qin looked at the surrounding scenery with nostalgia, her eyes moistened, but she quickly calmed down in front of the two girls. She smiled and pointed the way: "Let's cross this street and turn right, and we will reach my parents. Ah Zhi, when you see them, you must call grandpa, grandma and uncle, okay?"

"Yeah!" Qin Lanzhi nodded.

……

A small incident occurred on the way to Qin Lanzhi's uncle's house: Qin Lanzhi might have reached puberty and was more sensitive. She looked at her old clothes, felt a little inferior, lowered her head in shame, and stopped talking, which was very different from her lively and cheerful appearance when she first came to the city.

The three of them were dressed simply but neatly: An Ling had a head of messy hair tied up casually, and wore an old blue cotton robe that was washed to a pale color. She carried a long sword on her waist, looking unrestrained and carefree like a knight; Qin Lanzhi and her daughter wore patched clothes with furry animal skin vests on the outside, which looked very warm.

But the three of them walking on the streets of the big city were out of place with the glamorous appearance of the crowd.

An Ling saw it all, but did not comfort Qin Lanzhi. Instead, she pretended nothing happened - if her little thoughts were exposed, she would probably feel even more inferior.

……

The three of them soon arrived in front of a large house.

The large characters "Weiyuan General Qi's Mansion" on the plaque right above are awe-inspiring. These few words alone are enough to scare off villains. In front of the general's mansion, two stone lions stand majestically, symbolizing the majesty and dignity of the general's mansion. More than a dozen soldiers in armor are solemnly lined up in front of the general's mansion to show vigilance.

"Wei...General Yuan...Junwei Mansion? What a strange name..." Qin Lanzhi muttered as she looked at the plaque of the general's mansion.

"You bold and unruly commoner! How dare you offend the general's majesty!" The captain of the group was a master. He was always alert and heard Qin Lanzhi's offensive remarks at the first moment. Out of respect for General Qi, he could not ignore this bold illiterate girl and stepped forward to shout.

After all, Qin Lanzhi had never seen the world, and after hearing the captain's yelling, she quickly hid behind An Ling.

"Big brother," Mother Qin came out, looking very graceful. She smiled slightly, appearing very gentle. She continued, "Please go in and inform them that Qi Yun wants to see you."
