Chapter Fifty-Five The Second Dream

  After Mo Gu Yun left, Qin Lin didn't think much and continued to sit cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed. On the surface of his body, a thread of golden light would flash from time to time, and the surrounding heavenly energy was constantly being absorbed into his body.

  No words were exchanged throughout the night. Early next morning, just as Qin Lang was getting up and preparing to leave his military tent, he ran into Mo Yan who had come to see him.

  "You're up so early?" Mo Yan looked at Qin Cang and smiled lightly.

  "These days, every night is spent sitting up, basically not sleeping at all, but I don't feel the slightest bit tired." Qin Lang said in a low voice to Mo Yan, his words filled with excitement.

  "Hehe, why are you working so hard to cultivate?" Mo Yan asked with a smile.

  "What else can you do if you don't cultivate?" Qin Huan asked with a smile.

  This remark left Mo Yan speechless for a moment, and indeed, as a martial artist, if one doesn't cultivate their skills, what else can they do? Once you embark on the path of martial arts, you can only press forward, and if you stop in your tracks, you'll be trampled underfoot by others.

  "Alright, have you packed everything? We'll be setting off soon." Mo Yan asked, no longer thinking about the matter of cultivation.

  "I don't have anything worth collecting either, I'm free to go whenever I want." Qin Lang said with a shrug of his shoulders, speaking to Mo Yan.

  "All right, let's go to the county lord's mansion now while it's still early, so as not to attract too much attention and cause a stir."

  As Mo Yan walked out of the military camp, she saw a huge horse-drawn carriage parked at the gate of the military camp, which was there to welcome Mo Yan and Qin Cang.

  At the moment he stepped onto the horse carriage, Qin Lang looked back at the military camp where he had stayed for only a few months, and sighed in his heart. It was not long ago that the military camp was an unattainable dream for him. But when his dream came true, just as he had barely stood firm in the military camp, Mo Gu Yun took him away from the military camp to head to Qinghai City, the capital of Qinghai State together.

  Qin Lang couldn't help but sigh that life's encounters were indeed unpredictable.

  They arrived at the Junzhu Mansion without a hitch, not long after. In Guchen City, there were two transmission arrays, one of which was used for inter-city transmissions between the eighteen cities of Guchen Prefecture, and all comings and goings between cities had to be routed through Guchen City. The other was a dedicated transmission array leading to Qinghai City, this transmission array being the only one in the entire Guchen Prefecture that led to Qinghai City. If they didn't use this transmission array, even flying at the speed of a high-level cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm would take at least several days.

  The portal leading to Qinghai City is located within the County Lord's Manor, and anyone who wants to use it must obtain the consent of Gu Yun, the County Lord.

  When Qin Lang and others arrived at the county master's mansion, Mo Gouyun had been waiting for a long time. Without delaying much time, he opened the transmission array.

  This teleportation array is much more complicated than the inter-city teleportation array, and the array diagram is also much larger. However, Qin Lang has long since become a different person from the ignorant young man he once was.

  "Everyone, come into the array!" Mo Gu Yun stood in the transmission array and said to everyone. Qin Cang followed behind Mo Yan, stepped into the transmission array, and as the last person stepped into the array, the transmission array began to flash golden light, enveloping Qin Cang and others in a piece of golden light.

  As the vision in front of him began to blur, Qin Lang suddenly had a feeling that the golden light flashing on the transmission array seemed to have a similar feeling to the golden yuanqi inside his body. When the golden light flashed, the golden yuanqi inside his body also had a slight disturbance.

  But it was just a feeling, and when Qin Guang was about to carefully investigate, the golden yuanqi in his body had returned to calmness, which also made Qin Guang slightly disappointed.

  They quietly spent half a time in the transmission array, and in the pitch-black transmission space, there was also a thread of light, and a golden gate appeared in front of them. Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and the golden light turned into a dazzling golden light.

  The golden light gradually faded away, and my line of sight slowly recovered, and in front of me was a bright expanse.

  "Qinghai City has arrived!" Mo Gu Yun's tone was also somewhat excited. The last time he left Qinghai City, he became the master of a county. This time, returning to Qinghai City again, he didn't know what changes life would bring.

  Qin Lang also felt a pang in his heart, he had always been content with being a heavenly soldier for this lifetime and never thought that one day he would come to the capital of Qinghai country, let alone follow the young lady of the county.

  Fate is like this, no matter how you think about it, it will follow the existing arrangement and push you forward step by step.

  Qinghai City is the capital of a country, and it's not comparable to the county seat of Yún City. Qinghai City has a vast area, and it's the political, cultural, and economic center of the entire Qinghai Country. The strongest military force in Qinghai Country, the 100,000-strong Qinghai National Heavenly Army, is also stationed here.

  For the first time in such a big city, no matter how calm Qin Lang pretended to be, he couldn't help but hold his breath until Mo Gu Yun had settled into her new residence, and only then did Qin Lang gradually calm down.

  "Mo Yan, Qin Lang, for the next few days, I may not be with you two. If you go out, pay attention to your surroundings and keep a low profile. Take care of each other, especially Qin Lang, Mo Yan, you have to take good care of him." Mo Gu Yun instructed Mo Yan and Qin Lang.

  "Dad, is it that urgent? We just arrived and you're already heading into the imperial city?" Mo Yan asked worriedly.

  "Hmm, His Highness is in a hurry, as if something is about to happen." Mo Gu Yun said with furrowed brows.

  "Your Excellency, I am just a humble commoner, Qin Lang. I don't understand such great national affairs, but I can roughly sense that the transfer of power sometimes comes with some shocks. Please be careful, Your Excellency. As for me, you don't have to worry about it here. These things are beyond my control, and with limited ability, all I can do in this grand scheme is protect myself well, which would be the greatest help to Mo Gu Yun."

  "Ah, now I can rest assured." Mo Gu Yun gave some final instructions before leaving. This time, Mo Gu Yun didn't bring too many people, apart from Mo Yan and Qin Cang, he only brought a few attendants to take care of daily chores. At this moment, the others had all gone out to buy and prepare various items, leaving only Mo Yan and Qin Cang alone in the residence.

  "Don't worry too much, the young lady is in a high position and has great power, even if something happens, it will be resolved safely. I'll go back to my room first, you take a good rest." Qin Lang could see that Mo Yan had something on her mind, but she stood there for a long time, not knowing how to comfort her. It was better to let her calm down alone than to stand here in awkward silence.

  Mo Yan responded to Qin Huan, still standing quietly there, her eyes gazing out the window, lost in thought. Qin Huan let out a sigh and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

  Back in the room, Qin Huan shook his head, sat cross-legged on the bed, discarded his chaotic thoughts, and gradually calmed down. Rather than thinking about those useless things, it's better to cultivate instead. With insufficient strength, any thoughts are just wild fantasies.

  It was unknown how long had passed when Qin Huan was startled awake by a knock at the door while he was in meditation.

  "Qin Lang, can you go out with me for a walk?" Mo Yan's silvery voice came from outside the door, but this time it was no longer as cheerful as a skylark.

  Qin Lang immediately stopped his cultivation, took a deep breath, and retracted the active golden yuanqi in his body. As he walked down from the bed, he said, "Alright, I'll be right out."

  Qin Lang opened the door and looked at Mo Yan, who had a worried expression on her face. He felt a slight pang of heartache in his heart. This girl, who was usually full of energy and vitality, now looked so pitiful and helpless.

  "What's wrong?" Qin Huan asked in a soft voice.

  "Huff, I'm suffocating in this room. Come out with me for a walk." Mo Yan took a deep breath, as if she had blown away all her worries, and the gloom on her face also dissipated.

  "Okay, I've never strolled through such a big city before." Qin Lang saw Mo Yan's smile again, and he was also secretly relieved.

  "No problem, I'll be your tour guide today. I used to think you were some kind of official's son, but it turns out you're just a country bumpkin! I didn't expect that I would misjudge you, haha!" Mo Yan thought back to when Qin Lang first arrived at the military camp and she had wanted to play a trick on him, and burst into loud laughter, looking like she was really enjoying herself.

  "Really? If I were a noble's son, would I still be here doing heavenly soldier work?" Qin glared at Mo Yan, speechless.

  "If you were really a noble's son, what would you do?" Mo Yan asked curiously.

  "If it's really like that..." Qin Huan's eyes sparkled, and he slowly took a step forward, his face filled with a look of longing. Suddenly, he turned around to face Mo Yan and said: "I'll secretly tell you, when I was little, I had two dreams."

  "Oh? Tell me!" Mo Yan suddenly became interested.

  "One of them has already been achieved, that is, becoming a heavenly soldier." Qin Lang turned around and said slowly with his back to Mo Yan.

  "Hmm, what about the other one?" Mo Yan asked closely behind Qin Huan.

  "And another one is to be a young master of a rich family!" Qin Lang's tone revealed a hint of excitement, as if this dream was no longer distant, clenched his fists and said excitedly: "With vast fields and millions of gold, spending days idling away without learning or skills. When bored, he would carry a bird cage to tease the birds, or fight crickets. When feeling uninterested, he would lead a group of servants to flirt with respectable women on the street. Haha!" Qin Lang became more and more excited, laughing wildly.

  "Qin Lang, you're really a beast!" Mo Yan rolled her eyes at Qin Lang and said speechlessly.

  "Haha, if I met a girl as obedient as you, I'd snatch her away immediately!" Qin Lang ran out quickly, shouting as he went.

  "Qin Lang, you stand still for me to see, or I'll strip your skin off!" Mo Yan's face was full of shame and anger as she shouted and chased after him, but on her face, there was a faint hint of a smile.
