Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Li Guanqi smiled and said softly, "Let's go, I'll take you around the mortal city."

Meng Wanshu's eyes lit up slightly. She didn't expect Li Guanqi to remember her casual remark from before.

Her face filled with joy, and her beautiful eyes sparkled as she smiled, "Really? That's great!"

"Then wait for me, I need to change my clothes!"

Before Li Guanqi could speak, Meng Wanshu raised her hand and created an ice wall to surround herself.

After a moment, Meng Wanshu changed her clothes.

She wore a light blue, silver-embroidered top with butterflies, the sleeves wider than usual, fluttering in the wind.

Her waist was tightly cinched, and below was a long, goose-yellow skirt embroidered with white magnolias.

Her hair was styled in a simple peach heart bun, adorned with only a few milky white pearl ornaments, highlighting her dark, lustrous hair, and a jade hairpin was placed diagonally.

Meng Wanshu applied light makeup, her figure graceful, her face like a peach blossom, as beautiful and moving as the flowers in spring.

Li Guanqi was immediately stunned, standing there blankly staring at Meng Wanshu.

Meng Wanshu was a little embarrassed by his gaze. Her usual attire was rather plain, and this was the first time she had dressed up like this.

The woman blushed and spun around, the surrounding ice walls shattered, and ice powder sparkled like stars around her under the sunlight.

Meng Wanshu spoke softly, "Is it pretty?"

Li Guanqi smiled foolishly, "Pretty."

Li Guanqi looked down at his own attire and couldn't help but smile, "It seems I should tidy up as well."

He used his Yuan energy to cleanse his body, shaking off the dust.

Li Guanqi changed into a well-fitting white brocade robe, a jade belt outlining his slender waist, making his figure incredibly tall and straight.

He was slender, his black hair tied up with a white jade crown, with an ice-blue gemstone embedded in the crown.

Li Guanqi's features were sharp and distinct, his nose high and straight, his lips thin but not at all mean.

A gentle smile played on his lips, a small mole beside his nose, and his eyes were deep.

Li Guanqi had an otherworldly aura, his hands clasped behind his back like a refined gentleman, his movements elegant and noble.

Meng Wanshu was also stunned. Li Guanqi rarely dressed himself so 'exquisitely'.

Li Guanqi smiled and raised his arm.

The woman reached out and took his arm, her smile as bright as a flower blooming in the spring breeze.

Their clothes fluttered as they walked aimlessly between heaven and earth. Meng Wanshu suddenly felt that it wasn't necessary to go to the mortal city.

Li Guanqi closed his eyes and sensed that there was a bustling city not far ahead in their diagonal direction.

Li Guanqi said softly, "Let's go there, it looks lively."

Meng Wanshu smiled and nodded, taking out a water-blue veil from her storage ring and putting it on her face, her beautiful eyes revealed, adding a unique charm.

Her beautiful eyes were like crescent moons, with slight wrinkles at the corners when she smiled, her eyes full of his smile, "Anything is fine."

Li Guanqi smiled, taking Meng Wanshu away in a teleport, and in a moment they arrived above the city.

Looking at the vast city below, covering dozens of miles, it was now night and the city was bustling with noise.

Li Guanqi descended from the sky with Meng Wanshu, teleporting directly into the city with her.

At their level, even if there were cultivators in the city, they would not be able to sense their presence.

Li Guanqi looked back at the light red city wall, with a beautiful name written on the plaque.

"Qixia City, what a beautiful name."

Meng Wanshu stood there blankly, murmuring as she looked at the inscription on the scarlet plaque.

Li Guanqi took her hand and said with a smile, "Let's go, now is the most lively and prosperous time in the city, we've arrived just in time."

Meng Wanshu smiled and took Li Guanqi's hand, walking towards the crowd.

At the same time, in the city lord's mansion.

An old man bowed and reported to a man in a dark blue brocade robe.

"Reporting to the city lord, there seem to be two very powerful experts who have arrived in the city!"

The man with a stern face didn't even look up, saying softly, "It's fine, just be aware of it and don't pay too much attention. They might just be passing by for a rest."

The old man nodded upon hearing this, and then disappeared.

After the old man left, the man put down his pen and sat up straight.

He murmured softly, "The guys who Zheng Lao calls experts are probably at least Void Refinement Realm great cultivators, right?"

Putting down the pen, the man didn't take this matter to heart. Instead, he frowned as he looked at the report in the jade slip.

"Hmph! Just who is behind this Pan family?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man paced slightly in the room with the jade slip in his hand, his eyes narrowed, and finally sighed.

As night fell, the city was ablaze with lights. Brilliant lanterns swayed in the streets and alleys, illuminating the entire city.

The flowing neon lights between the buildings complemented the starry sky, creating a beautiful night scene.

Outside the restaurants and teahouses in the city, shouts were endless, and the singers on the stage were graceful and moving, making the whole night seem to be immersed in a joyous fairyland.

The stalls selling snacks lined the streets, and billowing white smoke floated into the air, making it very lively.

The air was filled with all kinds of aromas, and children ran around with windmills and snacks in their hands, their giggles playful and childlike.

Meng Wanshu was smiling like a flower at this time, holding exquisite pastries in one hand and playing with the jewelry and jade in front of her with the other.

She picked up a hairpin and put it on her head, looking at Li Guanqi, "Is this pretty?"

Li Guanqi smiled and looked at the woman, smiling, "Pretty, Wanshu is beautiful, everything looks good."

Li Guanqi took out some silver and bought the hairpin in her hand. The old woman selling the items smiled and narrowed her eyes.

She put the hairpin in a small wooden box and handed it over with a smile, looking at the two of them without saying a word.

Meng Wanshu's cheeks were flushed by the old woman's gaze, and she ran away as if fleeing.

The further they walked into the city, the more the rich humanistic atmosphere of Qixia City came to them.

More and more people around them put on bright and gorgeous clothes, wearing all kinds of large masks on their faces.

Li Guanqi and Meng Wanshu stood by the street with interest, watching silently. Many people in the teahouses around them also leaned out.

The copper coins, silver, and even gold in their hands were thrown towards the crowd.

"Welcoming the immortals!!"

"Welcoming the immortals, may this year be smooth and successful!"

Everyone was saying things that Li Guanqi didn't understand, and even Meng Wanshu looked surprised.

Fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and the deafening gongs, drums, cheers, and music converged into a sea of joy.

People sang and danced, immersed in this joyous moment.

And this procession of hundreds of people walked mightily, with no one daring to block the way.

And their destination was the largest academy in Qixia City, the Qixia Academy, inside the Qixian Pagoda.

Li Guanqi was a little curious about what this was, so he turned to look at an older brother who was leaning out and asked, "What is this ceremony?"

The older brother with a full beard looked to be in his forties, and his appearance was considered honest.

The man folded his sleeves and leaned on the window with a smile, "You're a young master from out of town?"

"Hahaha, this is the Qixia City's once-in-a-decade welcoming the immortals ceremony, an old tradition."

"Tomorrow at the Qixia Academy is going to be lively, maybe we can even see immortals descending!"

Li Guanqi raised his eyebrows, not expecting that the other party, a commoner in the market, would say something like 'immortals descending'.
