Inside the mountain city, a notice of withdrawal from the foreign country was posted outside the shop of Shanhai Tower, attracting passers-by to watch and whisper.
The door of Shanhailou was closed, and the guys counted the goods and packed them into boxes.
The short and fat manager sat behind the counter, watching the gray-haired old accountant checking the accounts.
The old accountant asked, "For such a big matter as withdrawing from the foreign country, do we really not need to consult the ancestor?"
The chief shopkeeper looked at the busy men, among whom were a few temporary hired men.
"The ancestor has already instructed that from now on, no matter what happens in Shanhai Tower or Hongyan Tower, the master and the mistress will be in charge. The mistress means that the affairs of the Yiren Country will be entirely up to the young master. The mistress said that this is the first time that the young master has paid attention to his own business, and she doesn't even care about the Yiren Country business."
"It doesn't matter if the young master can't handle it well this time. It's also a kind of experience for the young master, letting him know that it's not easy to run a business and that the master works hard every day. Madam also said that it doesn't matter if the goods are lost, what matters is our safety. As long as people are still there, the shop can be reopened, so it's better to evacuate you all for the time being."
"Madam is worthy of being the wife of Shanhai Tower." The old accountant nodded and continued to do the accounts.
The head shopkeeper saw a short rat man struggling to drag a box that was bigger than him. His eyes moved slightly and he took out a sealed letter from his sleeve.
"Zhuwu, come here for a moment. You are fast and must deliver this letter to Hongyan Tower. Don't let anyone see it. This letter is very important and there must be no mistakes. Do you understand? I have always trusted you. Don't let me down."
The chief shopkeeper spoke some of the words with great emphasis and stared closely at the short Zhu Wu.
Zhu Wu's small black eyes twitched, he nodded cautiously with his teeth bared, took the letter and left Shanhai Tower through the back door.
"Do you suspect him?" asked the old accountant.
The chief shopkeeper sighed, "It's not suspicion."
The old accountant understood, "If they are not of my kind, their hearts must be different."
"It's hard to say about this kind of thing. Please leave as soon as you have settled your accounts. I will stay to accompany our young master. We can't leave him without anyone to use him. When we get back to Baishui District, please tell my wife that I will be back soon and ask her to write less letters. Hongyan Tower won't accept our spirit stones, but they can't write one letter a day."
The old accountant smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll definitely pass on the message."

Jiang Yuebai controlled the somewhat worn-out ninth-grade flying magic weapon, the Sky Boat, and sped at a low altitude. There was no black sail or protective cover on the boat, and there were holes in the bottom of the boat. It flew not much faster than a foundation-building cultivator.
Jiang Yuebai spread out her spiritual awareness, enough to avoid all dangers and pursuits around her. In order to avoid suspicion, she deliberately created several accidents and fought with monsters in the mountains.
During the fight, in addition to using the green jade bamboo flute, he also sprouted vines from his body to prove that he was a genuine alien.
Even so, Yu Qing'er was still very alert. She didn't say much along the way. She just put on her cloak and held Yu Xiao tightly in her arms, never letting go.
After walking and stopping for more than a month, the group finally arrived at Tianmu Gorge, and across the gorge was Siyu Mountain.
The wind in the canyon was strong and flying magic weapons could not pass through, so the few people had to cross the mountain on foot.
It took another two days to climb to the top of the mountain. It was night, and Jiang Yuebai saw four high mountains in the distance reaching the sky. Thin and curved ridges were coiled into rings like feathers, and they were covered with talisman light bands, like a fluorescent bird's nest, protecting the central forest.
At the foot of Siyu Mountain, as far as she could see, there were lights and smoke rising from thousands of houses. The trees in the forests had been cut down and turned into mountain villages. Flags representing various countries were flying in the wind, stretching for hundreds of miles with Siyu Mountain as the center.
Jiang Yuebai's eyes were shocked. He didn't expect that the appeal of Tieyu Country was so strong. If this continued, this place would sooner or later evolve into a magnificent city, attracting all the aliens from the entire alien country.
Xie Jingshan stepped forward and said, "Except for the four major nations of Night Wolf, Tiger and Leopard, Snow Bear, and Sand Scorpion, the people of other alien nations have basically arrived."
Jiang Yuebai used the improved Sky Eye Technique to scan the area around Siyu Mountain and saw no less than thirty large formations that protected the entire Siyu Mountain tightly.
There were also feathered aliens flying in the air around, patrolling back and forth in teams of five holding spears.
Yu Qing'er and Yu Xiao walked slowly and climbed up the mountain breathlessly. When they saw the Siyu Mountain right in front of them, they smiled with relief.
"Please excuse the hard work, seniors. You can rest after entering the Iron Feather Nation."
Yu Qing'er was very anxious. Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan looked at each other and nodded. Jiang Yuebai once again summoned the tattered sky boat and rushed down the mountain, heading towards Siyu Mountain.
The appearance of the Sky Boat attracted the strange people in the village below, and they all came out and looked up. When they were still more than thirty miles away from the mountains in front of them, two pairs of strange people from the Feather Clan came galloping from two directions.
"Who are you? Stop!"
The female captain of the Feather Clan who was in the middle stage of foundation building and wearing armor pointed her spear and forced the sky boat to stop.
Yu Qing'er brought Yu Xiao out from behind the boat, and couldn't wait to take out the token that had been hidden for a long time and held it up.
"I have the token of your mountain master. It was your mountain master who invited me here. The lord of the Feather Clan who was protecting me died halfway, and now there are people chasing me. Take us into the city to see the mountain master."
Xie Jingshan's pupils trembled slightly, and Jiang Yuebai glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.
"It is the mountain master's token for sure."
The female captain took the token and looked at Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan with a wary look.
"You and the child can come into the city with me, but you two, cannot."
Xie Jingshan frowned, Jiang Yuebai grabbed him, turned to Yu Qing'er and smiled, "Sister Qing'er, we risked our lives to protect you along the way, you promised."
Yu Qing'er struggled, but she finally took Yu Xiao back to the front of the female captain, "I'm sorry, I... I'm sorry!"
Xie Jingshan was a little angry, and as soon as he moved, nine spears were pointed at him.
Jiang Yuebai stepped forward to block Xie Jingshan, still smiling.
"Since we can't enter the Iron Feather Country, then we can stay outside the Four Feathers Mountain, right?"
The female captain said coldly, "As long as you behave yourself and don't go near the mountain boundary, you can do whatever you want."
"Thank you very much."
Jiang Yuebai looked at Yu Qing'er deeply, and Yu Qing'er turned her head away to avoid his gaze.
"Walk."
Jiang Yuebai piloted the flying boat and turned around and left with Xie Jingshan on board.
Xie Jingshan was furious and said in a voice transmission, "Why are you so easy to talk to? She was the one who broke her promise, and you are still thanking her?!"
Jiang Yuebai rolled his eyes at him, "That's just the beginning. There are many people in this world who cross the river and then burn the bridge. It's already very good that Yu Qing'er didn't say that we kidnapped her and let the Yu Clan aliens wipe us out. If you get angry over such a small matter, you will be angry to death in the future."
Xie Jingshan sat down with his buttocks, and the Yukong Boat weighed him down, with its big tail hitting the bottom of the boat.
"What do we do now?"
Jiang Yuebai said, "Be patient, we are being watched by those Feather Tribe people now, so we should behave ourselves for a few days and wait until they relax their vigilance before taking any action."
Xie Jingshan turned around and saw that there was indeed a group of Feathered Aliens watching them.
Jiang Yuebai drove towards the village where the strange people of Qingteng Country gathered. When he was almost at the woods where the village was located, Xie Jingshan widened his eyes and saw another Jiang Yuebai sitting on a tree at the edge of the woods, pressing a small green engraved symbol.
The entire little green lantern was looming, and it looked like the magic invisibility talisman was about to be completed.
There was also a puppet named Jiang Yuebai hiding behind the tree, holding a carving knife and clumsily practicing carving a string of jade talismans.
Xie Jingshan turned to look at Jiang Yuebai who was steering the boat, and poked her in the face with his finger. Jiang Yuebai on the boat immediately scattered into large feathers.
"When did you change your clone?"
The feathers gathered together to look like Jiang Yuebai again. She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I'm just worried that if a fight breaks out, it will be difficult to escape if we're surrounded."
"What about me? Aren't you worried that I'll be surrounded?"
Xie Jingshan was convinced. This woman had a very bad conscience. She had been on guard against Yu Qing'er's betrayal but she didn't tell him.
Jiang Yuebai shrugged, "It doesn't matter. If you are really surrounded, I will reveal your identity. Then Shen Huaixi will definitely show up and invite you in. This is also one of the backup plans."
"Backup plan... another one?"
Xie Jingshan held his chest, not knowing how much evil Jiang Yuebai was hiding.
Jiang Yuebai stood up and patted Xie Jingshan on the head. "Don't worry, Brother Gou. I won't let you waste the ten thousand high-grade spirit stones. I will definitely bring you to Shen Huaixi in one piece. Let's go to the village of Qingteng Country and find a place to stay temporarily. I have some signs of a breakthrough in my skills, so I need some time."
Xie Jingshan's heart continued to beat wildly. He didn't even dare to breathe all the way here. How could she still have time to practice and even break through?!
