After counting the money with his spiritual sense, the old man nodded with satisfaction and said to them, "Go ahead and step onto the stage."
Yuan and Xiao Hua proceeded to walk onto the stage and stood before the massive Teleportation Device.
The old man then walked to a stand that was only a few meters away and placed onto it a few chunks of beautiful crystal that emitted intense spiritual energy.
A few moments later, once the Teleportation Device was charged up with Spirit Qi from the crystals, the empty space before Yuan began to twist and turn, and a black portal appeared.
"You won't be directly teleported inside Spring City but a few miles out. Enter the Teleportation Device whenever you are ready but don't take too long because it will disappear in a minute."
Yuan nodded and turned to look at Xiao Hua.
"Are you ready?" He asked her.
"Whenever Brother Yuan is ready," she nodded her small head.
Yuan then extended his hand for her to hold, and Xiao Hua grabbed it without hesitation.
After taking a deep breath, Yuan took a step forward and walked into the portal while holding Xiao Hua's small hands, disappearing from Liang City.
And literally a second later, just like when he first entered the game and met Xiao Hua, Yuan found himself surrounded by trees in the middle of nowhere.
"Let's go up," Yuan said, and they soared to the sky a moment later to look for the city.
"I think it's that place over there," Yuan pointed at the city in the distance.
"Let's go."
They began flying towards the city.
«You have discovered 'Spring City'»
A few minutes later, they descended from the sky and landed in front of the city gates, and just like the guards from Pang City and Liang City, the guards at Spring City immediately approached them after seeing them descend from the Heavens.
"Welcome to our Spring City, Seniors. If you need anything, just let me know." The guard said to him.
"It's fine. We are only here to meet with someone." Yuan said to the guard.
"May I have the Seniors name so we can report to the Xuan Family of your presence?" The guard suddenly said.
"Xuan Family?" Yuan suddenly recalled Xuan Wuhan, who mentioned that her family was in this city.
"That's correct, Senior. The Xuan Family controls this city, and we were instructed to let them know if any experts arrive at our city to avoid any unnecessary trouble." The guard explained to him.
"Then do you know Xuan Wuhan?" Yuan asked him.
"The Young Lady? Are you acquainted with the Young Lady?" The guard showed a surprised face.
"Yes, she asked me to see her if I ever visit Spring City, and I have some time before my meeting. Here, she even gave me this."
Yuan showed him the medallion Xuan Wuhan gave him in Spirit City.
"That's the Xuan Family's Medallion!" The guards' eyes widened with surprise after seeing the medallion. Only those trusted by the Xuan Family would have something like that!
"Please follow me, esteemed guests! I will immediately bring you to the Xuan Family!" The guard bowed to them with respect.
"By the way, you can call me Yuan."
"Young Master Yuan!"
Meanwhile, another guard rushed to return to the Xuan Family before Yuan and Xiao Hua could arrive to alert them about their presence.
"What? Someone with my family's medallion is coming here? I don't recall anyone that goes by the name 'Yuan'." The head of the Xuan Family, Patriarch Xuan raised his eyebrows after hearing about Yuan.
"He mentioned the Young Lady's name, even claiming that she was the one who gave him the medallion," said the guard.
Patriarch Xuan nodded and said, "Bring my daughter here."
"Yes, Patriarch!"
Sometime later, Xuan Wuhan appeared before them with a messy appearance, looking like she'd just gotten out of bed.
"What's the matter, father? I was having a nice dream, you know?" she asked him with a tired expression.
"Do you know someone by the name of 'Yuan'?" Patriarch Xuan immediately asked her.
"How do you know about Daoist Yuan, father?" Xuan Wuhan's face immediately became energetic after hearing Yuan's name, and she looked at him with a surprised face.
"So you are acquainted with him?"
"Yes, I met him at Spirit City and the auction house there. Although I don't know his background, he's definitely not an ordinary individual, especially the little girl who follows him around. I have a feeling that she's a real expert like Grandpa."
"A Spirit Master like my father, huh? That's very likely, as the guards saw her flying with their own eyes."
"Wait a moment! They were here? In our city?!" Xuan Wuhuan quickly asked him.
"Yes, and they are heading here as we speak."
"Why didn't you tell me that from the beginning! I am not ready to receive any guests, and I have already wasted plenty of time here!"
"Then you'd best hurry up and fix your appearance before they arrive." Patriarch Xuan shook his head at her. While Xuan Wuhan is known for being a hard worker by the people outside, she was the complete opposite at home, being a lazy girl who spends most of her time sleeping.
"I will be right back!" Xuan Wuhan said before she ran towards the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Yuan and Xiao Hua had just arrived at the Xuan Family's household.
"Heavens⊠This place is even bigger than the Luo Family's manor in Pang City. It's almost like comparing a small hut to a massive mansion!" Yuan spoke with a dazed look on his face as he stood right outside their building. It's no wonder why Xuan Wuhan was treated like a V.I.P at the auction house.
"The Xuan Family has already been notified of your arrival, esteemed guests."
Just as the guard finished his sentence, the door opened, and a handsome and tall middle-aged man with a profound aura walked out of the building and stared at Yuan with a sharp gaze.
'Fifth Level Spirit Warrior?! How old is this young man? He doesn't look any older than my daughter!' Patriarch Xuan was filled with surprise after seeing his cultivation base and young appearance.
However, what shocked him the most was Xiao Hua's formidable presence, who was naturally emitting a profound aura, yet he could not see the full extent of her cultivation base despite being a Spirit Master himself.
'A real expert! She's a real expert!' he cried inwardly.
