Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1302: Chapter 426: The Grand Martial Arts Competition of Three Towns – Spectacle, Marriage Alliances, and Integration (Part 4)

In the private room, fifteen people were already seated.

Seeing the group from Jiangxia enter, the fifteen people inside immediately stood up with smiles on their faces.

”Welcome, guests from Jiangxia Town!”

Xiahou Qingqing instantly recognized them as the members of Xiao Hen’s exploration team from last September.

”Luo An from Great Xia, my father is Luo Yuan, Director of the Hunting Department. Pleased to meet you all.”

”Luo Cheng from Great Xia, my father is Luo Ming, Mirror Valley Defense Commander. Pleased to meet you all.”

”Zou Ping from Great Xia, my father is Zou Yuankai, Wushuang Guard Commander. Pleased to meet you all.”

.........

Unlike last September, this meeting felt much more formal this time. Before Xiao Hen could speak, Luo An and the others proactively introduced themselves.

Of course, while introducing themselves, they didn’t forget to carefully observe the twenty-plus people from Jiangxia in front of them, focusing naturally on scrutinizing their cultivation.

After all, they would all be important opponents in next month’s martial arts competition!

Jiang Yining, Xiahou Qingqing, and the other young people from Jiangxia naturally saw through Luo An and the others’ intentions and returned the gesture, examining the cultivation of this group of young people from Great Xia.

However, after both sides examined each other, their expressions were evidently filled with surprise.

The people from Great Xia wore expressions of curiosity and astonishment; while those from Jiangxia were visibly shaken and frightened, and eventually even showed a hint of inferiority on their faces.

Obviously, they could all see that Luo An and the others’ strength was far superior to their own.

Xiao Hen’s group was merely a lively snapshot of the current scene at Hongmen.

Right next door to the private room, a team of more than twenty young men and women from Muyin Town was gazing longingly through the window at the bustling South City Main Street below.

”This Hongmen City is really bustling.”

”It’s not just bustling, there are so many things here; it must be very comfortable to live here.”

”You can buy any Dan Medicine at the Treasure Tower. Last September, the batch of goods brought by the business association was two percent cheaper here.”

”Of course; those goods were all bought from Great Xia, so here it’s like the place of origin, much cheaper.”

”The martial arts competition starts next month, so we can still stay here for a month. If we make it to the finals, we can even visit Xia City!”

”Hongmen is just a trade hub of Great Xia, and even here it’s so prosperous. Just imagine how amazing Xia City must be?”

”I feel this place is already more bustling than our Muyin Town, Xia City must be even livelier with more good things.”

”Let’s make it through the finals first! If we get into the finals, we can go to Xia City.”

.........

When they heard the phrase ’get into the finals’, all the young boys and girls instinctively turned their gaze to a red-clad girl inside.

Seeing the girl lost in thought, a younger girl walked up to her and said brightly, ”Aunt Yan’er, you’ll definitely make it to the finals. No, you should definitely make it to the top hundred. After we get to Xia City, won’t you take me with you?”

Murong Yan, snapped out of her thoughts, turned to look at her niece Murong Jiao, who was only two years younger than her. She pinched her little nose and smiled, ”Alright, alright, Aunt will definitely take you to Xia City.”

”Aunt is the best!”

Hearing her aunt agree to take her to Xia City, Murong Jiao’s eyes instantly curved into crescents with excitement, and she directly hugged her.

Holding her little niece, Murong Yan couldn’t help but let her gaze drift out of the window again, a faint touch of melancholy in her eyes.

”Brother Yuwen went to Bashang again. By the time the finals are in Xia City in August, I should be able to see him, right?”

She had come to Hongmen with her father Murong Yuan the night before, and even visited the Ministry Building to see Defender Lin Kai, originally thinking she might see Yuwen Dao. It was only when she inquired that she found out Yuwen Dao had gone to Bashang a few days earlier, meaning they perfectly missed each other.

Being a girl, she naturally felt too shy to randomly inquire further. The next opportunity to see Yuwen Dao would be when she went to Xia City in August.

The Martial Arts Competition among The Three Towns was such a major event, Yuwen Dao, the Director of the Military Department, would certainly attend.

With her own strength, making it into the top hundred shouldn’t be too big of an issue.

By then, she would definitely be able to see Brother Yuwen!

Murong Yan cheered herself up slightly and turned back to chat with her siblings.
