After resting in the afternoon, Xiao Yunlong suddenly found himself idle, which made him feel somewhat at a loss. After all, he was accustomed to being busy, and after arriving in the imperial capital, he had become quiet.
Ordinarily, given his status, many wealthy and noble families should have come to visit him now that he had arrived in the imperial capital. However, Beiyun Residence was deserted and very quiet. The main reason for this was the silence from Wentian Pavilion.
In other words, as long as Wentian Pavilion did not bestow a title, Xiao Yunlong's identity would remain sensitive. Moreover, Xiao Yunlong was currently at the center of a storm, with countless eyes in the imperial capital secretly watching him.
Therefore, the wealthy families in the imperial capital naturally dared not come to curry favor or build relationships at this time, lest they bring trouble upon themselves.
Just as Xiao Yunlong was bored, Liu Ruyan suddenly suggested going shopping.
"I still have some daily necessities to buy, and I need to take them to school tomorrow. Why don't you accompany me, Yunlong?"
"Of course, no problem!" Xiao Yunlong readily agreed, and then the two drove away from Beiyun Residence.
It was already dusk, and the lamps were lit. The streets were bustling with traffic. After buying daily necessities at the mall, the two were about to return home. Xiao Yunlong suddenly had a change of heart and said, "By the way, Ruyan, let's go to the Old Home area to have a look."
"Old Home? What is that place?" Liu Ruyan asked.
"It's a place that sells old items and antiques. I've recently become interested in this area, and since I have nothing else to do, let's go take a look!" Xiao Yunlong said with a smile.
Before coming to the imperial capital, Xiao Yunlong had absorbed all the items containing spiritual energy. Now that his Three Thousand Divine Kingdoms technique had reached this level, ordinary meditation had little effect.
Therefore, Xiao Yunlong wanted to take advantage of his free time to visit the antique district of the Old Home. Perhaps he could find a treasure or two by chance. After all, this was an ancient capital with a thousand years of history and profound heritage. Moreover, genuine old items occasionally appeared in the Old Home.
Liu Ruyan naturally had no objections, and then the two changed direction and headed straight for the Old Home antique street.
Although it was already nine o'clock in the evening, the area was still quite lively. Coincidentally, there was a night market with stalls set up that night, so the Old Home was crowded with people, filled with all sorts of street stalls.
Some stalls had a few old items displayed in small groups, while others were piled up in an entire corner. People of all sorts were walking around, observing and searching for treasures. Of course, fakes and imitations were very common in such places, and there were many tricks to it. One could easily be fooled.
Even so, many people who came here were still enthusiastic.
"Why are you suddenly interested in antiques? I didn't see any collections in Beiyun Residence," Liu Ruyan asked.
Xiao Yunlong smiled slightly and said, "It's precisely because there are no collections at home, and it's too empty, that I thought of buying some to put back."
"I see," Liu Ruyan nodded.
Then the two began to stroll slowly. Xiao Yunlong chose items without regard for the year or style. He had only one criterion: he would buy anything that caused his inner divine kingdom to react.
As expected of an ancient capital with a thousand years of history, after walking for a short while, Xiao Yunlong saw two items that caused his inner divine kingdom to react. To avoid attracting the owner's attention, he ended up buying two extra items and successfully purchased the two items containing spiritual energy.
In any case, Xiao Yunlong had plenty of money. When he was in the northern region a while ago, considering that buying old items might cost a lot of money, Xiao Yunlong specifically prepared a card and deposited several small fortunes from the money he had looted from the Mobei Kingdom into it.
Then the two continued to wander. Perhaps it was their good luck that night, and coupled with the night market that only opened once every three months, Xiao Yunlong found three more old items containing spiritual energy. Among them, a vajra pestle contained the most powerful and dense spiritual energy, which made Xiao Yunlong secretly delighted.
"Let's go, Ruyan, we're going back!" Xiao Yunlong finally suggested. After carefully packing the items and putting them in the trunk, the two prepared to leave and return to Beiyun Residence.
However, at this moment, Liu Ruyan's phone suddenly rang.
The call was from Fang Chengcheng. As soon as he answered, Fang Chengcheng gritted his teeth and shouted, "Liu Ruyan, you bitch, you're good at hiding. Our people were secretly tracking you, but they couldn't find any trace of you."
"Fang Chengcheng, is that you? What do you mean by that?" Liu Ruyan asked sternly.
"What do I mean? Listen carefully, Ma'erlan is in my hands now. If you don't want her to die, then immediately have your fiancé, that dog, come to my Fang family, otherwise I'll kill your roommate!" Fang Chengcheng said fiercely.
"Fang Chengcheng, you heartless wretch, if you want revenge, just come to us. Ma'erlan is innocent. Why did you kidnap her?" Liu Ruyan shouted angrily.
Fang Chengcheng on the other end of the phone grinned and said mockingly, "I didn't want to harm Ma'erlan, but I couldn't help it. Who told you to be so good at hiding? My Fang family, and even the Imperial Capital Martial Alliance, couldn't find any trace of you. Out of desperation, I had to resort to this. Listen carefully, I'm only giving you one night..."
At this moment, Xiao Yunlong took the phone from Liu Ruyan and said coldly, "I don't need a night. In an hour, I will be at your Fang family!"
"Excellent. Don't worry, as the saying goes, every wrong has its cause and every debt has its owner. As long as you two come, I won't touch Ma'erlan at all. Oh, by the way, Ma'erlan is currently eating hairy crabs in my dining room. She doesn't think she's being kidnapped at all. Of course, if you don't show up tonight, then this meal will be her last supper."
Fang Chengcheng chuckled, his laughter filled with mockery and sarcasm.
Xiao Yunlong was too lazy to argue with him and hung up the phone directly. Then he picked up his own phone and called Zhuge Wushuang.
"Master, do you have any instructions?" Zhuge Wushuang immediately asked.
"Call everyone, including the Black Armored Guards, and head to the Fang family immediately!" Xiao Yunlong said calmly, but his tone was filled with killing intent.
Liu Ruyan could naturally see that this time she did not persuade him. Last time, out of kindness, she had not killed Fang Chengcheng because she considered him a student. However, Liu Ruyan never imagined that he would capture her roommate Ma'erlan as a threat.
This had undoubtedly touched Liu Ruyan's bottom line!
She knew very well that tonight the Fang family was completely finished, and even the Imperial Capital Martial Alliance would be finished!
"Yes, Master!" Zhuge Wushuang did not ask further questions and acted immediately after receiving the order.
"Let's go, we're going to the Fang family too!" Xiao Yunlong said, got into the car, and sped away from the Old Home, heading towards the Fang family mansion in the East District.
