Chapter 250 Southern River City
In the horse carriage, five people were sitting and talking together. After giving it some thought, Chen Li decided to accept Di Chen's invitation to go to her clan.
After all, Chen Li had no connections in the Seven Moon Realm, and Feng Xian'er told him that Di Chen and Uncle Meng were good people. Besides, he himself intended to go to the city to find more information about the realm, and he could also see that Xuanyuan Wan'er was very curious about the Xuanyuan Clan from the north.
"Young Master Long, why don't you tidy up your tent? Are you going back to the forest again later?" Di Chen suddenly asked him.
Chen Li nodded to her. "Honestly, we came here to have a look as well as to train, and the beasts in the forest are perfectly suited to be our opponents, so I'd like to stay there for a while."
"I see." Di Chen nodded in understanding. "Since the cultivation of the four of you is still at the 1st Stage Soul Realm and below, the Southern Forest is indeed very suitable for you. However, you should not go near the Southern Ocean, especially since those water beasts are very powerful, and you will definitely have trouble if you encounter them."
Chen Li smiled at that. "Thank you for your warning, Miss Chen."
"Anyway, did you come from another realm?" Chen Li raised his eyebrows after hearing that, and Di Chen explained it to him. "Earlier, I was too excited, so I didn't pay much attention to your appearance. However, I now realize that your clothes and tent are different from ours, and I also never found those sandwiches here. Moreover, Miss Wan'er said that she didn't know about the Xuanyuan Clan from the north, and I once heard from my grandfather that other realms really existed, so I thought you guys came from another realm."
Feng Xian'er answered her directly. "You are right, Miss Chen. We did come from another realm, and we arrived not long ago."
"I see." Di Chen then asked them again. "Is it easy to go to another realm?"
"Hmm?" Chen Li felt hesitant to discuss it with her, but Feng Xian'er immediately told Di Chen. "Actually, it's not that difficult to go to other realms, but we don't know many realms yet, and we only know about this realm for now."
"Oh." Di Chen nodded repeatedly. "Can you guys tell me about your realm?"
"Hmm?" Chen Li thought for a moment before telling her. "Actually, our realm is very different from this realm, and there is no Qi there, so there are no other cultivators besides us."
"Then how did you guys become cultivators now?" Di Chen asked again with a look full of curiosity.
Chen Li laughed softly. "Long story short, I had an accident less than four years ago, and I was lucky enough to meet my master and senior sisters because of it, and they taught me to cultivate."
Chen Li purposely told her like that because he couldn't possibly tell Di Chen about the Tianyi Realm, and she would be shocked if he definitely told her that he was cultivating in less than five months. (A/n: In case you forgot, it's only been 139 days since Chen Li almost died, and a day in the outside world is ten days in the Tianyi Realm.)
Even so, Chen Li's answer still caused Di Chen to be dumbfounded, and his jaw dropped. "Are you serious, young master Long? Isn't your cultivation too fast? You've only been cultivating for less than four years, but your cultivation has already reached the 1st Stage Soul Realm."
[Hahaha!] The three spirit women laughed in his mind, and Xiao Huoli told Chen Li. [Your cultivation is indeed too fast for a non-dual cultivator like Di Chen. Even other dual cultivators cannot cultivate as fast as you, especially since they don't have the Divine Yin-Yang Pagoda and your other advantages.]
'I see.' Chen Li sighed softly and explained it to Di Chen. "Honestly, I am a dual cultivator, and I still have several other wives besides Xian'er. Besides, my master's friend also gave me a good pill, and it really helped my cultivation, so you don't have to be surprised if my cultivation improves this fast."
"Oh?" Di Chen was taken aback for a moment after hearing that, for she did not expect that Chen Li was a dual cultivator, let alone that he also had several wives. She then glanced at Feng Xian'er in astonishment, for she couldn't understand why a woman as beautiful as her would allow her husband to marry some other woman.
Seeing her expression like that, Feng Xian'er immediately spoke to Di Chen. "My hubby didn't lie to you, Miss Chen. He does have several other wives, and I don't mind that. Moreover, we sisters live together in the same house, and our relationship is very good."
"I see." Di Chen nodded in understanding as she sighed in her heart. 'After all, young master Long is very handsome, and he is also strong, so it's only natural that many women would be attracted to him.'
Even though she knew Di Chen's thoughts, Feng Xian'er didn't say anything, and she immediately shifted their conversation. "Anyway, why did the previous assassins target you, Miss Chen?"
Di Chen's expression turned gloomy after she heard that. "If my guess is correct, the person who hired those assassins was Nalan Jie, the notorious young master of the Nalan Clan."
"Beauty always causes trouble." Feng Xian'er said with a chuckle, and even Xuanyuan Wan'er smiled faintly, for they had often encountered such a thing in the past.
"You are right, Miss Xian'er." Di Chen replied as she let out a heavy sigh. "Nalan Jie has been eyeing me for a long time, and I've rejected his proposals many times. Perhaps he's running out of patience now, so he hired those assassins to kidnap me."
Chen Li himself was not surprised by that, especially since he almost died because of such a matter. "Can you tell me about the clans in Southern River City?"
"Actually, there are many clans in the city, but there are only four major clans. However, in terms of total strength, the strongest is the Nalan Clan, followed by the Qing and Yu Clans, and the weakest is my Di Clan." They were surprised to hear that the Di Clan was the weakest, and Di Chen then continued. "Although my clan is the weakest, my grandfather is very strong, and no one dared to harass us apart from the people of the Nalan Clan. However, they didn't dare to attack us openly, so Nalan Jie hired those assassins."
Chen Li nodded in understanding. "Then are there any sects in this city?"
"There are two sects in this city." Di Chen replied as she nodded. "Silver Moon Sect is a sect founded by my ancestors, and its focus is swordsmanship. The current sect master is my father, and I myself am also a core disciple there."
"Swordmanship, huh?" Chen Li muttered softly; even Feng Xian'er and the Xuanyuans seemed excited to hear that.
Di Chen immediately asked them. "Are you guys interested in swordsmanship?"
"Yes!" They answered in unison. Chen Li told her directly. "In fact, we also learned swordsmanship, so we're quite interested in your sect. However, my situation is a little different, so I might join another sect, but the three of them might be interested in joining yours."
Di Chen then told them again. "As for the second sect, they may suit you, especially since they are a dual cultivation sect."
"Oh? What's the name of that sect?" Chen Li impatiently asked.
Feng Xian'er then teased her husband. "Are you impatient to find a new woman in this realm, Hubby?"
"Haha." Chen Li laughed awkwardly after hearing that.
"The name of the dual cultivation sect is Blue Moon Sect, but you cannot join any sect for now."
"Why is that? Chen Li raised his eyebrows.
"All sects will open registration for new disciples in three months, so you can only join them when registration opens." Di Chen then turned to the three women. "As for my sect, I can ask my father to make an exception for you guys, so you can join as soon as possible."
However, Feng Xian'er immediately rejected Di Chen's offer. "You don't need to do that, and we will wait for registration to open. After all, we are still not used to the situation in this realm, so we want to familiarize ourselves first. Besides, my hubby still wants to train in that forest, so we will wait while practicing there."
"Young miss, we are almost in our town." Suddenly, Uncle Meng informed them from outside.
Di Chen directly opened the carriage curtain and pointed out. "That's my city, Southern River City. Even though this city is the largest city in this region, it is still smaller compared to cities in other regions."
Chen Li looked at the city in a daze, for the buildings in the city were very similar to buildings in the ancient China. As for Feng Xian'er and the Xuanyuans, they were not surprised to see that, for they had experienced the harshness of that era.

Uncle Meng and the two guards immediately escorted them back to the Di Clan, and two people were already waiting for them in front of their clan residence.
Di Chen immediately got off the carriage and ran towards them. "Father! Mother!"
