Lin'an Prefecture City.

Chen Yuan gently descended from the void with Zhang Erjie, who clung tightly to his side, holding his hand firmly in her embrace.

Her eyes were shut tight, with a lingering expression of fear on her face.

During the journey from the Capital to Lin'an Prefecture, after leaving the city, Chen Yuan traveled directly by magical flight, staying at least thousands of meters above the ground.

Although they were shielded by Primordial Energy, Zhang Erjie was still somewhat fearful and unsure.

After all, she only had Gang Condensation cultivation, unable to even glide briefly, let alone fly directly in the void. However, this gave her an excuse to hold onto Chen Yuan, feeling some joy amidst the terror.

"Erjie, we're here."

Chen Yuan's calm and clear voice sounded beside Zhang Wanshu's ear, causing her to tremble slightly. She opened her eyes tentatively, fluttering her eyelashes as she scanned her surroundings, feeling the solid ground beneath her, and exhaled a deep breath:

"Phew... so fast..."

Although the Capital is several hundred miles from Lin'an Prefecture, she felt as if she closed her eyes and opened them again to find they had arrived, prompting her to exclaim in wonder. No wonder everyone in the human world admires martial arts.

Such divine means, who wouldn't envy them?

Unfortunately, her natural talent is average and her comprehension ordinary, even with the extensive resources of the Zhang Family, she has only reached Qi Absorption cultivation, with a chance to achieve Condensing Evil. However, she is somewhat fearful and has hesitated to start condensing Evil Qi into her Dantian.

"It's good to regain your composure. Since we've decided to witness the Dragon Gate Crossing event, it's not ideal to waste time on the journey," Chen Yuan said with a smile, glancing at his right arm.

At this moment, it was tightly held by Zhang Erjie, and despite the fabric of her dress, he could sense an extraordinary largeness.

Who would have guessed Erjie had something extra?

Catching Chen Yuan's gaze, Zhang Wanshu's expression turned slightly red, like she'd been electrified. She quickly released his hand and instinctively tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Well... let's have a good look around then."

"Alright."

Chen Yuan smiled and started to leisurely stroll around the streets of Lin'an Prefecture with Zhang Wanshu.

Today is June 14th; tomorrow is June 15th. Although the beautiful sight of carp leaping over Dragon Gate has not yet begun, the dense crowds haven't been deterred.

Many people have arrived early, fearing an accident along the way that might cause them to miss the event.

The streets of Lin'an Prefecture are bustling. A glance shows a sea of people, including Prefecture citizens, Jianghu martial artists, and wealthy young masters and ladies coming to observe the spectacle.

There are also constables from the government and Heavenly Patrol Guards, wearing official attire with long knives at their waists, patrolling with solemn faces.

Being one of the four prefectures of Central State, Lin'an Prefecture is undoubtedly vast, much larger than ordinary state prefectures. As one of the critical towns protecting the Capital, the number of citizens and the quality of martial artists here are both exceptionally strong.

The True Master of Yang Transformation hadn't been observed, but several Dan Realm Masters had been seen. Despite not being as common sight, Reach Profound Martial Artists and Gang Condensing Martial Artists are definitely not considered rare.

To prevent unnecessary trouble, there was always a subtle, unseen hint of True Intent in Chen Yuan's aura. Common folks wouldn't notice, but Jianghu martial artists with some cultivation would immediately recognize his profound depth, often lowering their gaze after a brief glance.

Following Chen Yuan's earlier advice, Zhang Wanshu showed interest in the bustling market but stayed closely by Chen Yuan's side.

Seeing the scene, Chen Yuan thought about it and decided to let her follow her heart.

With him around, at least in Central State, no problems should arise. Besides, he hadn't indulged in such carefree wandering like a common person for a long time.

An occasional excursion for relaxation is quite nice.

It's beneficial for cultivation too.

Upon receiving Chen Yuan's approval, Zhang Wanshu was elated and pulled Chen Yuan to browse the street stalls for a long time. They found ordinary jewelry and food stalls with treats like candied hawthorn and sugar figurines.

It's been many years since Zhang Wanshu last enjoyed these, but this time, she embraced her girlish side in front of Chen Yuan.

After spending half the day wandering with Zhang Erjie, Chen Yuan found his mindset much more relaxed, and the intense murderous aura around him dissipated considerably.

Witnessing life's myriad forms and understanding the human world's multitude, Chen Yuan found enjoyment in it.

By noon, the pair took a break and had a meal at a tavern in Lin'an Prefecture City, with Zhang Wanshu happily looking at Chen Yuan and saying:

"Thank you for today."

"No need to thank me, Erjie."

"Don't call me Erjie anymore; it makes it seem like I'm much older than you."

Zhang Wanshu glared at him.

"Alright, Erjie."

"Call me... Wanshu."

Zhang Erjie stared at Chen Yuan.

"Alright... Wanshu..."

Chen Yuan chuckled softly, watching her manner, hastily responding.

"That's better. Here, try this..."

Zhang Wanshu served Chen Yuan some food with her chopsticks.

After finishing their meal, Chen Yuan thought Zhang Wanshu might want another round of wandering. Unexpectedly, she said:

"A single round is fine. Why don't we check out the Dragon Gate Crossing?"

"Sounds good."

Chen Yuan nodded; he came primarily for the Dragon Gate Crossing event, so naturally, he'd want to check it out in advance. If he could obtain it early, it might be advantageous.

Without delay, the pair left the Prefecture City, heading straight towards Yan Mountain outside the city.
