Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 203 Setting Off for Tianhuang City

Long Yi and his group finally set off for Tianhuang City.

Long Xiao stood at the front of the airship, looking down at the scenery flying below. How many times had he been to Tianhuang City? He couldn't even remember! In the past, he had always traveled with his grandfather or parents. This was the first time he had represented the Dragon Clan as the Dragon Clan Chief to go to Tianhuang City!
The past events flashed before his eyes, and Long Xiao thought of his parents, a faint sadness welling up in his heart. He thought of his grandfather; the hopes of the dragon clan rested on his shoulders, a heavy burden indeed! Suddenly, a helpless expression appeared in his heart. He was showered with love and affection, yet he had failed to fulfill the heavy responsibility entrusted to him. A sense of loss arose spontaneously. Fortunately, Long Yi gradually showed his extraordinary talent, and a single spark could start a prairie fire.

This Tianhuang City meeting will be Long Xiao's most important social interaction, as the Dragon Clan's hopes are pinned on him!
To pass the time and avoid the boredom and frustration of the journey, Long Yi stayed in his room to cultivate. The journey was long and would take at least a month of flying. They would stop in several major cities along the way to resupply, so everyone was a bit tired. Long Xiao let everyone rest at each stop and wasn't in a hurry to get to Tianhuang City. They had plenty of time to get there, so they enjoyed the trip as if they were sightseeing, relaxed and carefree, without a trace of worry.

However, an unexpected incident occurred in Tianmu City! The city lord of Tianmu City did not come out to give Long Xiao and his group a grand welcome; he only stayed for a few hours before setting off again. Later, Long Yi learned that the city lord of Tianmu City had a troubled past with the Dragon Clan, a feud that had never been resolved. Long Yi did not inquire further about the details, but judging from Long Xiao's expression, he knew that Long Xiao did not want to see the city lord either. After resupplying, they quickly continued their journey!

After a month-long flight, Long Yi and his companions finally arrived at the outskirts of Tianhuang City. Although still some distance from the main city, the area already displayed the bustling atmosphere of a metropolis. This was Tongliao Town, a small town on the outskirts of Tianhuang City. This was the only route from Tianlong City to Tianhuang City, and it was a busy thoroughfare for travelers from several major cities in the wasteland. Therefore, Tongliao Town was incredibly lively and prosperous, comparable to the main city of Tianhuang City itself.

"We'll rest in Tongliao Town tonight, everyone go about your business!" Long Xiao said to everyone.

The airship docked behind the courtyard of a relatively large hotel. This plaza courtyard is specifically for guests to dock their airships. Several airships, all of them luxury models, were already parked there. I wonder which VIP from the main city checked into the hotel earlier.

Long Xiao led the two elders and Long Yi into the hotel and into the lobby.

"Brother Long Xiao, we meet again!" A very elegantly dressed man approached Long Xiao and greeted him.

Without hesitation, Long Xiao said to the man, "Brother Lang Jiu, it's been many years, you've improved a lot!"

“Indeed, you have improved a lot since then. I heard that you have inherited the position of Dragon Clan Chief. Congratulations,” Lang Jiu said.

"Thank you! You're also the patriarch of your Sirius clan now! We're all the same!" Long Xiao said.

"You were our big brother back then, our role model, always a level above us in everything. Looking back now, how wonderful and happy we were! It's a pity that Qingyun will never see us again! He finally evened things out with that old guy!" Lang Jiu said with some regret. Indeed, Feng Qingyun and Diao Zhiwei had self-destructed and perished, and they would never see each other again! The two sworn enemies had vanished.

Long Xiao recalled the past and felt sad and regretful. They were his best friends back then, and he only realized how important they were after losing them. He would never see them again!
"Come on, come on, let's go to my place for a drink. Some old friends want to see you!" Lang Jiu said to Long Xiao.

“Okay, okay, who’s coming?” Long Xiao asked. “You’ll find out when we get there!…” Lang Jiu said to Long Xiao.

After making the arrangements, Long Xiao left with his old friend Lang Jiu, leaving the two elders and Long Yi to handle the affairs together.

This was Long Yi's first time traveling with the clan leader, and he didn't understand much. Naturally, the two elders took care of everything, and Long Yi just watched from the sidelines, unable to help at all!

"Long Yi, go ahead and go out if you want! We'll be here, nothing will happen, don't worry!" Elder Long Chuyang said to Long Yi. He always respected Long Yi very much. This young man was the old patriarch's personal disciple and the future hope of the Dragon Clan. He was someone that Long Xiao valued highly.

“Alright, Elder Long Fengyang, I’m bored by myself and really want to go out for a stroll. I’ll have to trouble you two elders here!” Long Yi said.

"Go ahead, go ahead! Don't worry, we're here! Just have fun!" Elder Long Fengyang said.

“Okay! I’m going then!” Long Yi said.

This place is indeed much more prosperous than Tianlong City, with a vast expanse of brightly lit streets and alleys bustling with people coming and going! All kinds of races are here, living in harmony, creating a scene of prosperity and flourishing.

After all, this place connects to the capital, is conveniently located, and is the only way for several major cities to enter and exit the capital, so its prosperity goes without saying.

Long Yi strolled around the streets. This place was even more prosperous than the metropolises of the Blue Card Continent.

Indeed, Tongliao Town is very lively, with people coming and going, and caravans of various ethnic groups coming and going in an endless stream. Goods are being transferred and transported, making it a well-deserved transit hub. The bustling business atmosphere makes this place a mixed bag, with all kinds of people, good and bad, some hiding their true intentions, and some fraught with danger!
Every passerby could be a member of a powerful family, and every shop could be a residence of a wealthy or influential person. Therefore, opportunities abound here, and anyone with the ability can do well!

Unwittingly, Long Yi discovered a very familiar shop, the one he had always longed for, thought about, and wanted to see – the NIO Chamber of Commerce!
It really is the NIO Chamber of Commerce! How come they've opened a shop all the way to Tongliao Town? I wonder how Yi Mengying and the others are doing now! This shop is located in a luxurious downtown area, which is very eye-catching in this bustling area. The entire shop is magnificent, and there is a constant stream of customers at the door. The business is booming. I really can't believe that this is the shop that Long Yi has been thinking about, the shop that Yi Mengying and the others are really running?
Long Yi wanted to go in and find out what was going on. He was filled with curiosity and excitement, and he really wanted to see them right away and ask them how they were doing! What had they been through these past few years?
Long Yi now is not the same Lan Tian he was five years ago! He has changed a lot; his physique and appearance have undergone significant changes. If they were to pause for a moment, they definitely wouldn't recognize him!
Only he knew the pain of longing. He missed his Hai Liang and their child, not knowing if the child was a boy or a girl. Overwhelmed by homesickness, he lost his mind.
