Shen Xiaoyan would not do such a thankless task.
So, she changed the subject, "How long have you been here? When are you leaving?"
Zheng Cai also knew that it was not convenient to talk too much about his family matters with outsiders. Seeing that Shen Xiaoyan did not continue the previous topic, he also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing Shen Xiaoyan ask about other things, he hurriedly replied, "We have been here for a month. This month, I have eaten roasted meat every day, and I smell like roasted meat all over. Fortunately, we are leaving soon."
Before Shen Xiaoyan could say anything, Zheng Cai added, "Sister Shen, why are you here? How long have you been here? Are you leaving? Why don't we leave together?"
Although he was simple, he was not foolish.
Shen Xiaoyan and the others had looked rushed yesterday, clearly on their way.
As for the reason for rushing, he could not guess.
If they were hiding from enemies, then their relaxed demeanor did not seem like it.
But if they were here for training, why would they bring young children? m..oΓg
Therefore, Zheng Cai really couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask aloud.
Shen Xiaoyan and the others never knew that their group looked problematic to outsiders, but she could not explain that they had come here by mistake, so she could only pretend not to have heard the previous question and directly answered the last one.
"We leave together, is that okay? Will your elder brother agree?"
Although Zheng Fu doted on his younger brother, traveling together was probably not something Zheng Cai could just say. It still required Zheng Fu's agreement.
Zheng Cai clearly understood this question, so after Shen Xiaoyan asked, he ran to find his brother without a second word.
After he left, Zheng Wei said, "You want to go out with them?"
Shen Xiaoyan nodded, "Yes. Here, we don't know where we are. Although it's safe, we are completely in the dark and don't know when we can leave. If we leave with them, not only can we leave quickly, but we can also understand what kind of place this is. Also..."
Saying this, Shen Xiaoyan paused, looking at Zheng Wei, not knowing how to speak.
Zheng Wei had been with her for so many years, how could he not know what she was thinking? He continued her words, "They are surnamed Zheng, which is quite a coincidence. So you want to see if they have any connection to me?"
Hearing him say it, Shen Xiaoyan naturally took over, "Yes. After all, our mother has been missing for a long time, and we can only search for her from other aspects."
Hearing Shen Xiaoyan, Zheng Wei couldn't articulate what he felt.
Shen Xiaoyan cared so much about his parents, he should be happy.
But he didn't want to deliberately pursue it. After all, the world was too big, and no one knew where his parents were now or when they could be found.
Would they keep searching like this if they never found them?
Meanwhile, Zhen Lingrong's eyes flickered after hearing Shen Xiaoyan's words.
She could care so much about Zheng Wei's parents, what about her own father?
Thinking of this, Zhen Lingrong suddenly felt a headache.
She had forgotten what happened before, but she had no desire to regain those memories.
She didn't know why, but she really had no interest.
But what if Shen Xiaoyan and Shen Xiaoming wanted to know?
That man, whose identity was unknown, was their father.
Thinking of this, Zhen Lingrong's brows furrowed.
Shen Xiaoyan looked at Zheng Wei, who suddenly fell silent, and Zhen Lingrong, whose brows were furrowed, and found it amusing.
These two people were so worried because of her words.
She hadn't said anything!
Just as she was about to explain, Zheng Cai ran back quickly, his face full of smiles.
"I've already told my elder brother, and he agreed for you to travel with us. This way, we can look out for each other on the road. That's great."
Hearing Zheng Cai, Shen Xiaoyan and the others were relieved and also found it a bit amusing.
Zheng Cai was truly too naive.
Did he really think that with such a plausible reason, they wouldn't know why he was so insistent on traveling with them?
It was just that there was no need to be so deliberate about the reason.
After all, it was just the little thoughts of a gluttonous youth, and they really didn't need to expose him directly.
Since they had decided to travel together, Zheng Wei invited Zheng Fu and the others to have breakfast together.
Perhaps due to strict upbringing from a young age, Zheng Fu's movements were exceptionally elegant while eating, and he remained silent throughout.
Even in this simple cave, his every move was pleasing to the eye.
However, while Shen Xiaoyan appreciated it, she did not like it.
She felt it was too rigid.
These rules were like blood that had merged into his veins, and he could not cast them aside no matter where he was.
It was beautiful, but it felt like something was missing.
After eating, everyone tidied up a bit and prepared to continue on their journey.
Along the way, Zheng Cai thoroughly showed Shen Xiaoyan and the others what it meant to be childlike.
His every move was no different from Ruan Ruan and the other two.
But he felt very proud.
Shen Xiaoyan looked at Zheng Cai like this and secretly glanced at Zheng Fu, wanting to see his reaction.
However, after watching for a long time, Zheng Fu showed no special reaction, and Shen Xiaoyan finally withdrew her gaze.
What she did not know was that the moment she withdrew her gaze, Zheng Fu glanced at her and then shifted his gaze away.
They did not go up the mountain but walked around the foot of the mountain.
Shen Xiaoyan and the others walked and teased Ruan Ruan and the other two to conceal the fact that they had fallen behind.
Fortunately, Zheng Fu and the others did not inquire further.
Except for Zheng Cai occasionally coming over to play, there was no contact between the two groups.
After traveling for three days like this, they finally left the area of the tall mountain.
From a distance, Shen Xiaoyan and the others saw a city.
Looking at the tall and weathered city walls, Shen Xiaoyan was somewhat surprised.
The reason was that the city walls were indeed too high.
Although the color of the city walls looked no different from ordinary cities, the overwhelming aura emanating from them shocked everyone.
What's more, the three large characters carved at the city gate shocked Shen Xiaoyan and the others even more.
"Tian Xian Di?" Shen Xiaoyan murmured.
Zheng Cai happened to be standing beside her. Hearing her murmur, he smiled and said, "You've worked hard all the way, isn't it for this? What, is it different from what you imagined? Isn't it very imposing?"
As he spoke, his face was full of pride and self-satisfaction.
Shen Xiaoyan also heard him and knew what he was proud of without thinking.
The city of Tian Xian Di before them, viewed from here, was boundless, as if it were a new world, not a city.
Zheng Cai did not wait for Shen Xiaoyan and the others to answer. He continued grandly, "Most people on the Sacred Spirit Continent only know that the Sacred Spirit Continent is divided into four regions: east, west, north, and south. But they don't know that in the center of these four regions lies the supreme Tian Xian Di."
"Some people, although they know of Tian Xian Di's existence, can never reach it in their lifetime. It's a pity they can't see how good it is."
Saying this, Zheng Cai sighed and shook his head. His feigned mature appearance made Shen Xiaoyan feel a chill.
But unexpectedly, Zheng Cai suddenly broke into a big laugh and said to Shen Xiaoyan and the others, "You are lucky, lucky to have met my brother and me. With us leading the way, you will definitely be able to come here. So, aren't you very grateful to us?"
"Our Zheng family is one of the top families in the entire Tian Xian Di. We lack nothing, but we have also led the way for you. If you don't repay us, isn't that unreasonable?"
Shen Xiaoyan looked at Zheng Cai and saw the glint in his eyes.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoyan was a little dazed. Was it possible that Zheng Cai's childish and innocent demeanor all along was just an act?
As she was thinking carefully, she suddenly heard Zheng Cai roar with laughter at the sky.
Shen Xiaoyan, "..."
Everyone, "..."
Zheng Fu, "... Who is this fool?"
After laughing enough, Zheng Cai looked at Shen Xiaoyan and the others with great pride, "What do you think? My acting is good, isn't it? Do you think I was very annoying just now?"
Yi Zhixie bared his teeth and said, "No, you are even more annoying now."
If it weren't for his elder brother watching, he guaranteed he would have beaten this brat into a dead child.
Knowing that he was acting, Shen Xiaoyan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they had traveled together and relied on them to get here. If they had really turned hostile, they would not have been in a good situation.
Perhaps feeling that his younger brother had gone too far, Zheng Fu, who was usually a man of few words, finally spoke.
"The destination has been reached. Do you want to continue following us, or do you plan to go on your own?"
Hearing Chu Chan's question, Shen Xiaoyan and the others exchanged glances, and then Shen Xiaoyan smiled and said, "We are strangers here, so I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you for a couple of days. Once we find a place to stay, we'll move out immediately."
Although this was clearly an excuse, since Shen Xiaoyan had already spoken, Chu Chan found it difficult to refuse directly.
"In that case, let's go."
After Chu Chan finished speaking, he took the lead and walked forward.
Zheng Cai, however, was very happy. If Shen Xiaoyan and the others stayed at his house, wouldn't he be able to continue eating delicious food?
With their respective thoughts, everyone set off on the journey again.
This time, it did not take long, only a moment, and they arrived before the city gate of Tian Xian Di.
Zheng Cai excitedly introduced, "This is the East Gate of Tian Xian Di. There are also gates in the other three directions. Don't think of Tian Xian Di as just a city, it's actually as large as an Eastern Celestial Realm."
Hearing Zheng Cai's words, Shen Xiaoyan and the others all gasped.
They had already guessed that Tian Xian Di would be large, but they did not expect it to be so large.
