A child on the street saw this and his eyes lit up. He quickly pulled a burly old man toward them.

"well."

The burly old man had an imposing appearance, but at this moment he wore a doting smile.

The grandfather and grandson arrived at Jiang Ning's stall, and the old man asked a question.

How much does a candied hawthorn cost?

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Two coins a string."

As he spoke, Jiang Ning picked up a string of candied hawthorns and handed it to the child.

The child took it, licked it, and looked delighted.

The burly old man nodded, took out two coins from his pocket to pay, but then seemed to remember something, took out another two coins, making a total of four coins, and placed them in front of Jiang Ning. He then took a string of coins from the stall.

"Two skewers, please."

Jiang Ning's smile widened: "Thank you for your patronage."

Seeing the grandfather and grandson leave, Jiang Ning only glanced at them before turning away and continuing to hawk his wares.

Linghu Chong, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing the grandfather and grandson, his gaze lingering more on the burly old man.

"This is a master."

Linghu Chong came to a conclusion.

This old man had an extraordinary presence; he was no ordinary person.

"Give me a few sticks of Guandong candy."

At this moment, customers also arrived at Linghu Chong's stall.

Linghu Chong turned around with a smile: "Alright."

On the other side.

The burly old man brought his grandson to an inn. The innkeeper was startled when he saw him and immediately knelt down.

"Your subordinate greets Elder Tong."

Tong Baixiong nodded and asked, "Has anything unusual happened here recently?"

The innkeeper said in a deep voice, "Reporting to Elder Tong, many martial arts practitioners have recently flooded into the city, and quite a few of them are staying at my inn. Judging from their accents, they come from all over the country. After investigation, we have found that these martial arts practitioners are the subordinates of the Holy Maiden. Now that they have come to Pingding Prefecture, it is likely that the Holy Maiden and Ren Woxing want to take action against our sect."

Upon hearing this, Tong Baixiong's expression hardened, and he nodded.

"I see."

The innkeeper asked, "Elder Tong, should we take action against these martial arts practitioners?"

Tong Baixiong shook his head: "Don't act rashly for now."

Ren Woxing and Ren Yingying are still missing and their whereabouts are unknown. They are in the dark, while Tong Baixiong's side is in the light. Tong Baixiong is very cautious before knowing the other side's next move.

"Tell the spies in the city to keep a close eye on these martial arts figures and report any unusual activity immediately."

"Yes, Elder Tong."

After explaining the situation here, Tong Baixiong took his grandson and left, heading towards Blackwood Cliff.

Blackwood Cliff is not far from here.

"Grandpa, the candied hawthorn is delicious."

At that moment, the child suddenly spoke.

Tong Baixiong looked down and saw that his grandson had finished eating the candied hawthorn in his hand and was now staring longingly at the skewer in his hand.

Tong Baixiong smiled. "Grandpa will buy it for you later."

The grandson didn't understand why his grandfather had a string of beads but wouldn't give it to him, but he still obediently nodded, and the two of them headed towards Blackwood Cliff.

After passing through numerous checkpoints, we finally reached the top of Blackwood Cliff.

After bringing his grandson back to his residence, Tong Baixiong headed towards the garden where Dongfang Bubai lived.

Passing through the dark passage, you arrive at a place that resembles a paradise.

Tong Baixiong walked towards a pavilion in the middle of a lake, where Dongfang Bubai was.

At this moment, Dongfang Bubai was quietly reading a book in his hand, while Yang Lianting was nowhere to be seen.

"Eastern Brothers".

Tong Baixiong shouted.

Dongfang Bubai raised his head, looked at Tong Baixiong, and smiled.

"Brother Tong, you've arrived."

"Ah."

Tong Baixiong nodded sullenly and sat down in the pavilion.

He was no longer surprised to see Dongfang Bubai like this.

"Brother Tong, do you think there is such a thing as ascension to heaven?"

Dongfang Bubai closed the book and asked Tong Baixiong this question.

"Ascension?"

Tong Baixiong was taken aback, then shook his head. "I don't know."

Dongfang Bubai sighed inwardly.

"But who can ascend to immortality?"

Everyone in the martial arts world says he is the best in the world. If there is anyone in the world who can ascend to immortality, it is Dongfang Bubai.

But Dongfang Bubai knew that his ascension was a long way off.

Seeing Dongfang Bubai's dejected appearance, Tong Baixiong swallowed the words he was about to say.

After a while, Dongfang Bubai looked at him.

"Brother Tong, what brings you here today?"

Tong Baixiong nodded and then recounted what the innkeeper had reported.

Dongfang Bubai laughed upon hearing this.

"It seems like it won't be long before I see Ren Woxing."

Upon hearing this, Tong Baixiong was taken aback, but then he understood what Dongfang Bubai meant and asked, "Should we send someone to Pingding Prefecture to control those Jianghu people?"

Dongfang Bubai smiled.

"No need, they're all no match for us, let's ignore them."

Tong Baixiong nodded.

At this moment, Dongfang Bubai looked at Tong Baixiong's chest.

"Brother Tong, what are you carrying in your arms?"

Tong Baixiong smiled upon hearing this and took out the string of candied hawthorns.

“I remember that your favorite food when you were a child was candied hawthorn. This time when I went to Pingding Prefecture, I saw a vendor selling candied hawthorn and bought a skewer.”

Chapter 521: Dramatic Changes in the City (Louis Likes Oranges 12/16)

Dongfang Bubai took the candied hawthorn, tasted one, and smiled.

"You remember I like to eat this."

Tong Baixiong smiled slightly as well.

After a moment, Yang Lianting suddenly appeared. He came from the secret passage, as if he had just finished dealing with something.

Yang Lianting also saw Tong Baixiong, and was obviously taken aback, but then nodded to him.

When Tong Baixiong saw that Yang Lianting had also arrived, his expression darkened slightly, but he didn't say anything. He got up and prepared to leave.

The two were like oil and water before, but now their relationship is still not good, but it has improved a lot, at least on the surface.

Yang Lianting was taken aback when he saw the candied hawthorn in Dongfang Bubai's hand after he sat down.

"You like to eat this stuff?"

Dongfang Bubai smiled and placed it on the stone table.

"I loved eating this when I was little."

Yang Lianting nodded and said, "The hall masters and elders below are already waiting in the main hall, just waiting for your summons."

Dongfang Bubai nodded and stood up.

"Let's go then."

"Wait a moment."

Yang Lianting called out to Dongfang Bubai.

Aren't you going to change your clothes?

Dongfang Bubai turned to look at him. "Why are you changing your clothes?"
