The dragon clan displayed the glory of the former masters of all worlds. At this moment, the human race, no matter where they were in the northern grasslands, the western deserts, the southern forests or the eastern coast, could use the sea eye to quickly reach the banks of the Yangtze River outside Baling City as long as they were near the dragon clan's sea eye.
More and more people from all over the world were pushed to the shore by the waves formed by the sea eye. They clearly came ashore from the water, but their bodies were not wet. Instead, their shoes and socks became wet after being splashed by water after coming ashore.
Under the blue sky, white water and brown land intersect, carrying people of all kinds.
More than 100,000 Jingguo soldiers were stationed along the river to maintain order, guide tourists, and prevent accidents. Most of these people did not have Xiangzhou accents, and most of them were transferred from Jiangzhou and the capital.
What surprised many visitors was that in the river near the river bank, there were many shrimp soldiers, crab generals and fish monsters. Unlike ordinary aquatic creatures, the eyes of these aquatic creatures had less violent blood color and more clarity similar to that of humans. The scales of many of them were a very light golden color.
These water monsters patrol the edge in neat rows. If a tourist occasionally falls into the water, they will rescue him immediately.
A large number of Qi people poured out from a huge sea eye, roughly counting them to thousands. Then a huge blue wave rose up, like a big lounge chair, carrying them slowly to the shore. On both sides of the huge wave, many water monsters escorted them like guards.
Above the huge waves, many scholars of Qi State looked down at their feet in surprise.
"Huh? Look, the water below is so hard to step on. It feels like cotton."
"The water is clear, and there are frantic little fish in it. It's interesting."
"Look at the water monsters on both sides of the waves. They are in neat formation and look quite impressive. Why has no one mentioned this before? Brother Li, you never mentioned this."
As they were talking, they saw a big white rabbit, more than half a person's height, jumping around on the waves as if having fun, looking around curiously, and grinning at the water monsters.
"Chirp..." The big rabbit had a ferocious look on its face. As a spiritual animal between wild beasts and demon beasts, they knew from childhood to guard against demons.
Li Fanming rolled his eyes at the big rabbit and said, "Sit still. These water monsters are a little weird. They are not like ordinary water monsters. They will not hurt you."
The big rabbit looked incredulous. He glanced at Li Fanming, then ran to the edge of the waves and carefully observed the water monsters.
When the big rabbit reached the edge of the waves, his feet slipped before he was ready, and he slid out of the waves and fell into the water.
“Ahhhhhh…” The big rabbit kicked its hind legs and flailing ears, trying to grab the edge of the waves with its front paws, but it couldn't hold on.
Li Fanming was not anxious at all. He smiled heartlessly and said, "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer the consequences. Just give you a few more sips of water."
All the educated people nearby knew Li Fanming and Big Rabbit, and they watched the fun together.
"Chirp..." The big rabbit became anxious, his eyes turned redder, and his body slowly sank.
Suddenly, a white porpoise swam over and used its nose to push the big rabbit into the air. Then another porpoise jumped out of the water and flicked its tail, sending the big rabbit flying towards Li Fanming.
“Ouch…” Li Fanming quickly stretched out his hands and caught the big rabbit that fell from the sky. If he was not a Jinshi with a strong body, he would not be able to catch this big rabbit weighing nearly 100 kilograms.
The big rabbit groaned, then closed its eyes and lay motionless.
"Don't pretend to be dead, you're fine." Li Fanming said as he loosened his hand, and the big rabbit fell down. The big rabbit quickly opened its eyes, rolled when it landed, and quickly stood up, unharmed.
The big rabbit stared at Li Fanming angrily.
Li Fanming looked disgusted and said, "Go away, go back to Qi Kingdom if you want to show off. Fang Yun is going to hold a literary gathering at Yueyang Tower today, so be quiet. These water monsters won't hurt you. If I'm not mistaken, these water monsters should be related to the Dragon Gate phantom formed by Fang Yun's Holy Sound a few days ago. He is the Dragon Duke of Wenxing, and the waters within a hundred miles are his temporary fiefdom."
The big rabbit looked as if it had suddenly realized something, then gave Li Fanming a look, as if asking why he didn't tell it earlier. Then it turned to face the water monsters, stood up, and used its two front paws as hands, imitating the humans' bow to express its gratitude.
The scholars from Qi State present laughed and found it interesting, but then they discovered that the water monsters actually imitated the humans and used their fish fins to return the greeting.
"This..." The scholars from Qi State were extremely surprised. This was not a place like Kongcheng where barbarians had been tamed for many years. Fang Yun had been here for less than two months, and these water monsters were actually like this. It was really rare.
Li Fanming coughed lightly and said, "Fang Xusheng is indeed well versed in the way of education. Wherever he lives, such as Ji County and Ning'an County, the atmosphere of learning is gradually becoming stronger, and the number of high school graduates is increasing year by year. When he arrived in Xiangzhou, he actually showed signs of educating all things. Even water monsters are performing human etiquette. This is really a blessing for the human race."
The big rabbit nodded vigorously and then stretched out its claws to Li Fanming.
Li Fanming took out a carrot from the Hanhu shell and handed it to the big rabbit. The big rabbit immediately sat on the waves and started eating with a crunching sound.
The scholars from Qi State standing by had different expressions, but most of them were smiling.
"Brother Li, we are members of the 'Zhenglou Society' after all, and you are also a core member, even if you are just a core member who is watching the fun. Even if everyone knows that you and Fang Xusheng are good friends, you cannot praise our opponent like this at this time." A middle-aged scholar said with a smile.
"What do you think? Should we push him down now?" someone said with a smirk.
"Li Fanming, tell me the truth. What is your purpose for joining the Building Competition Society this time? It's not to help Fang Yun, right?"
“Hurry up and tell me…” a group of scholars cheered half-jokingly.
The big rabbit retreated stealthily, eating the carrot while looking up and smiling at Li Fanming's misfortune.
Facing the scholars of Qi State, Li Fanming said: "Please don't wrongly accuse me. I am a Qi State citizen in life and the soul of Qi State in death. How can I betray my country for a dispute between two buildings? However, the dispute between the two buildings is nothing more than a dispute of wills. It doesn't matter who wins or loses. I just want to watch the fun."
“So which one do you prefer, the Yellow Crane Tower or the Yueyang Tower?” asked the prefect of Wuchang.
Everyone started to chuckle. Once Prefect Yao asked a question, Li Fanming really had no choice but to answer.
Li Fanming said helplessly: "Prefect Yao, you are such a high-ranking official. It's fine that you have nothing better to do than to come to Yueyang Tower to have fun and watch the literary gathering under the pretext of a dispute between the two towers, but why are you trying to lead me into trouble?"
Prefect Yao smiled and said, "Little Scholar Li, if you don't give me a definite answer, we will throw you into the water!"
"Throw!"
"Throw!"
The crowd started to make a noise.
Li Fanming saw that everyone was in a playful mood and might really push him into trouble, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, in my opinion, Qingjun, the Lei family, and the shitty debt collection society Wuyun Society are not even worthy of causing trouble for Fang Yun, what can they do to Fang Yun? I don't even take them seriously, let alone the dignified Xu Sheng. The one who can really be considered a minor trouble is Zhang Longxiang. Everyone knows this. This person is indeed superior to Fang Yun in some aspects. Even though I am Fang Yun's friend, I cannot deny it."
Some people nodded slightly, agreeing with Li Fanming's opinion.
