That night, after the rain in the cave, Jiang Feng and his group travelled day and night. Other than stopping occasionally to eat some rations and drink some water, they practically did not stop their horses' hooves at all. Naturally, their hard work had paid off. They had finally arrived at the northern outskirts of the capital at New Year's Eve. Jiang Feng immediately reined in his white horse and signaled everyone to stop. Then, he said: "Brother Kuang, take my order badge and bring the three young ladies to the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall. I have some matters to attend to in the city, so I'll return by myself later." After saying that, Jiang Feng took down his Master medallion from his waist and threw it over to Kuang Mofann. He then casually handed over the Qian Sect medallion to Lin Ziquan and said: "Miss Lin, this medallion belongs to the Brother Yue. Lin Ziquan received it, and said: "Alright." Xiao Muyu asked: "Chiang Feng, aren't you going to accompany us to return to the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall first?" Huang Yue also followed: "That's right, it's already so late in Big Brother Jiang Feng, could it be that you want to go to the capital's night market? If that's the case, then bring me along to play as well. " Jiang Feng laughed out loud and said: "Haha, Xiao Yue, I will definitely bring you to visit the night market in the capital in a few days, but it is true that there are some matters that you have to take care of today, furthermore, everyone's journey after a few days is very exhausting, so it is better to return to your Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall to rest first. There would be a long time in the future, and after she recovered her spirit, it wouldn't be too late for him to come out and have a good time. Also, Lady Xiao, don't you worry. Everything in the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall is top-notch. If you don't want to live alone, you can live with Xiao Yue. " Xiao Muyu nodded her head, and said: "Alright, I understand. Matters are more important, go and come back quickly." Kuang Mofann said loudly: "Since that's the case, everyone should follow me to Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall first. In this early autumn season, the nights are still a little cold, and the three ladies should not catch a cold." Jiang Feng cupped his hands in greeting, and said his farewells: "Everyone, goodbye Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall!" With that, he whipped his horse and headed towards the north gate. Kuang Mofann naturally brought the three of them to the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall.

Jiang Feng left the group and entered the capital. He quickly got off the horse and walked alone. He stared ahead as if he couldn't hear the noise in the night market. He was just thinking. After crossing a few streets, they arrived at the entrance of the tavern Liu Bingbing stayed in before. Thinking back to the first time she fought with Zhao Pingyuan within the tavern, and how they later chatted and laughed together, his heart filled with emotions. More than once, he asked herself: Am I falling in love with her? Ridiculous. She then recalled the Wulin Conference from a month ago, where she fought against many experts and passed through the trials with great difficulty to achieve victory. In the end, she defeated Yan Kuo and became extremely excited, as images of what happened in the capital surfaced in her mind, his heart was filled with emotion and she sighed endlessly. Suddenly, Jiang Feng stopped in his tracks, because the road ahead of him was precisely the path to "Death Land Sect". Jiang Feng looked at the road, and thought: Death Land Sect, there will be a day when I will personally destroy you. Wan Xingyun, I will definitely make you pay back the debt of blood that you owed me twenty years ago. Jiang Feng clenched his teeth, and led his horse to the left.

Jiang Feng looked up at the sky and the constant noises in his ears. Not only was he unable to calm down, he was even getting more annoyed. The beautiful image of Faang Xinyao suddenly flashed through her mind, only then did she remember that she was secretly trying to do something for her father, Faang Yan, in the capital. Jiang Feng was her friend, so when he thought of this, he couldn't help but worry for her safety, so he sped up his footsteps and rushed to the inn she was staying. After the time it took half an incense stick to burn, Jiang Feng arrived at the tavern. After entering, he found out that Faang Xinyao had checked out from his room half a month ago, and had gone somewhere else. When Jiang Feng heard this news, he was a little disappointed, and thought that something might have happened to the Lady Faang. He was anxious and depressed. If anything happened to Faang Xinyao, her conscience would be condemned for life. He lowered her head and slowly walked, almost knocking into the passersby. The stars in the night sky flowed, just like Jiang Feng's heart was churning. Jiang Feng took two deep breaths to calm himself down, and thought: Lady Faang just checked out, and the shopkeeper didn't say anything about someone coming to arrest him, maybe he just switched tavern. Since I have already returned to the capital, I shouldn't scare myself anymore. I should be able to find out by sending someone to investigate tomorrow. Thinking of this, the worry in his heart disappeared like smoke in thin air.

After a long while, Jiang Feng finally returned to his usual place. He had once stayed at the Pleasing Inn for a month. Jiang Feng peeked his head in to see that the waiter was wiping the table, and that the shopkeeper was holding a thick account book and calculating the details of the account. Seeing this scene, Jiang Feng could not help but reveal a slight smile. He tied the white horse to the door and slowly walked into the tavern. Jiang Feng laughed bitterly and coughed. Upon hearing the voice, the waiter immediately stopped what he was doing, put the duster on his shoulder, and walked over. He greeted: "Esteemed customer, do you want to stay in the inn or do you want to eat something?" Jiang Feng casually replied as he saw the shopkeeper put away the account book. He nodded in satisfaction, it seemed like the Pleasing Inn had been doing a great deal of business these past few days. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered something and carefully sized Jiang Feng up once more. He promptly instructed the waiter, "Go, quickly tidy up the third room on the second floor and let this guest stay here." The waiter had some doubts. He looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, didn't you say that the guest room was very special and no longer needed to be rented out to any guests?" The shopkeeper knocked on the head of the waiter and sternly said, "You blind fool, quickly take a good look at who this guest is!" He scratched his head, then scratched the back of his head and looked at Jiang Feng a few more times. After a while, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh, I remember now, it's you, you are Chiang Feng Jiang's guest, last time Wulin Conference got first place." Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper hit him again and said, "Now that I think about it, everyone in the capital knows what you said just now. Right now, Brother Chiang is the that the Emperor has chosen as his lead Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall. Hearing their words, Jiang Feng felt a little embarrassed, and said: "I was merely lucky when winning last time, furthermore..." Before he could finish, the storekeeper interrupted him, "Hey, how can you say it's luck? Brother Chiang, oh no, Master Chiang, it is because you are strong that you are able to obtain victory. He looked at the waiter and shouted, "Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and clean up the guest room." The waiter reacted and quickly ran upstairs.

The shopkeeper had personally prepared a pot of tea and invited Jiang Feng to take a seat with a face full of smiles. "Master Chiang, please take a seat!" Jiang Feng humbly sat down and said: "Innkeeper, you don't have to be so courteous. I, Jiang Feng, am still just the same outsider who went to your inn before." The shopkeeper smiled and poured some tea for Jiang Feng, and said: "This is different, you are a stately Master of the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall of Capital, how can your identity be messed up? Master Chiang being able to visit my store again can be said to be bringing glory to my humble dwelling! " Jiang Feng suddenly stood up, and said with a stern expression: "Innkeeper, if you're still this courteous, I'll feel uncomfortable all over, then I'll be leaving." The shopkeeper hurriedly let Jiang Feng sit down and laughed: "Good, good, good. Brother Chiang already has the position of authority, but doesn't have the slightest bit of arrogance. "Then I won't say too many polite words. Feel free to do whatever you need to do. If you need anything, just let me know." Jiang Feng also smiled and said: "This is more like it, shopkeeper. This makes me feel much more comfortable. "Oh right, shopkeeper, do you know if my friend is still staying in the inn?" The shopkeeper thought for a while and tentatively asked, "The friend Brother Chiang mentioned, is he the one with long shifty eyes that went out with you in the past, oh no, no, no, his eyes are quite small?" When Jiang Feng heard the shopkeeper say that Wang Yixin had shifty eyes and eyebrows, he could not help but want to laugh, but he held it back and said: "That's right!" The shopkeeper said: "Brother Chiang, that friend of yours is still living in the first room on the second floor. He came back rather early today, so I'm afraid he's already asleep. " Jiang Feng thought in his heart: Didn't Wang Yixin have the title of Clever Hands? Logically speaking, he should be wearing a night robe and wandering around. Jiang Feng nodded, and said: "This humble one thanks shopkeeper, then I will go upstairs to see this friend of mine." The shopkeeper laughed: "Alright, Brother Chiang will do as he likes. I'll have the waiter send a few side dishes to you later." Jiang Feng said: "Thank you, shopkeeper. Oh, that's right, my white horse is still at the door." Before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper had already guessed what he was going to say and immediately answered: "Brother Chiang, you just need to meet your friends. I will personally take care of this matter for you. I will definitely feed your white stallion to its heart's content." Jiang Feng was overjoyed, after thanking his again, he went upstairs.

Jiang Feng walked to the door with extremely light footsteps, and knocked on it tentatively. After a while, a tired voice came from inside: "Who is it, it's so noisy." Jiang Feng deliberately changed his voice, and said: "Esteemed customer, this is the waiter, he's here to bring you some tea." The person inside said, "Why are you still bringing tea at this time?" Open the door and come in. Put it on the table. " Jiang Feng smiled slightly, pushed open the door and entered, using his heels to close the door. Jiang Feng saw that Wang Yixin had covered himself with the blanket and was still wearing his clothes, as he slept soundly with his back facing Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng purposely said again: "Esteemed guest, quickly get up and drink some tea." Wang Yixin was obviously a little impatient, and said: "You, why are you so long-winded today? Didn't I tell you to just put it on the table, when I'm thirsty I'll drink it. Jiang Feng suddenly spoke in a calm voice: "Clever Hands, if you don't get up soon, I'm afraid that you will die today." After Wang Yixin heard these words, he knew that the person who entered was not the normal waiter, yet he did not know the identity of the other party. He was shocked, and felt a chill on his back as he quickly stood up.

What about later?

And then we'll see how it breaks down in the next round.
