Chapter 361: (1): Brewing Unrest
It didn't take long before Chen Ping'an and the others tracked down the Fan Clan's people at the Osmanthus Island ferry station. Last time, the Golden Core Tier swordsman, Ma Zhi, had served as his coach driver, while Fan Er had accompanied him on the trip, so he hadn't come into contact with any other people from the Fan Clan.
However, as soon as Chen Ping'an declared his own identity, the Fan Clan administrator was immediately delighted, as if he had just heard a piece of fantastic news, and he asked Chen Ping'an to wait for a moment while he sent a message back to Osmanthus Island.
On top of that, he also called for several horse-drawn carriages before personally ushering Chen Ping'an and the others into the carriages, putting on an enthusiastic and respectful display that left Chen Ping'an feeling rather perplexed.
As the connection point between Eastern Treasured Vial Continent and Parasol Leaf Continent, Old Dragon City was even more opulent than the capitals of many major empires, possessing two immortal ferry stations on an island that was close to twenty kilometers away from Old Dragon City, designated for the intercontinental ships of the city's five major clans.
Back when Chen Ping'an first arrived at Old Dragon City, he was at the western ferry station, and he had to travel over a road that was around a hundred and fifty kilometers in length to enter the city. The road was owned by the Sun Clan, and even to this day, what had happened between himself and Sun Jiashu still left a rather sour taste in Chen Ping'an's mouth.
Chen Ping'an and Pei Qian were traveling in the same carriage. After drifting around in the sky for so long on an intercontinental ship, they had finally reached solid ground and arrived in Chen Ping'an's hometown, so she was very excited, and she was eagerly looking outside with a curious expression.
Lu Baixiang and Sui Youbian were playing a game of go together in another carriage, while Wei Xian and Zhu Lian were in a third carriage, with the former taking a nap, while the latter was reading his book.
The inexplicably hospitable reception from the Fan Clan's administrator struck Chen Ping'an as rather strange, and so, he began to think. He was definitely not an important figure. Back when he left Old Dragon City, he had only just broken through his fourth tier bottleneck back at the Sun Clan's ancestral residence.
He knew very few people from Old Dragon City, the most prominent of which were Fan Er, Sun Jiashu, who he had parted ways with on rather unfavorable terms, Zheng Dafeng, and Fu Nanhua, who was a sworn enemy of his but had decided not to make a move against him.
