"Yes, but it's pretty good. Everyone lives close by, so we don't have to travel so far to work or go to school," Xia Chujian said with a chuckle.
Song Mingqian said, "The premise is that you have to be able to find a job near your house... If you can't, you'll still have to commute on the Inner City Maglev Train every day."
Li Fu didn't pay attention to these things, and just asked, "What about the attractions? What are some fun places to go?"
Xia Chujian continued to search on the Star Network, and said, "The famous attractions in Da Fu Prefecture include the Mist Lost Pavilion in the city, which we saw from a distance in the restaurant today."
"There are also seven or eight Holy Churches here, dozens of Royal Villas open to the public, and the Blue Lake Hot Springs, which are outside the city."
"There's a wildlife sanctuary, which is said to be full of rare birds and exotic animals captured from the Exotic Beast Forest, but they are raised in the wild. You can take a special Flying Vehicle in to see them up close."
"You can also take a sightseeing bus to see them on the ground, even closer."
Li Fu frowned and said, "There are quite a few places, but at this hour, what's still open?"
"Then there's only the Holy Church, which is open until ten o'clock at night."
"How long does it take to get to the nearest Holy Church from here?"
"If you take the Inner City Maglev Train, it only takes ten minutes to get to the nearest Holy Church."
"Let's go take a look then." Ye Shijie made the decision, "Anyway, we can't go anywhere else."
The five people walked to the nearest Maglev Train platform and boarded the Maglev Train that had just arrived.
Ten minutes later, the five people arrived at the nearest Holy Church.
Throughout the entire Beichen Empire, the Holy Church buildings all follow the same pattern.
However, the Holy Church on Beichen Star in the Beichen Empire is the largest.
The Holy Church here in Da Fu Prefecture is not so tall and majestic, like a model that has been scaled down several times.
But it is still a gray building, solemn and dignified, with the same crenellated spires on the roof.
A badge is also hung at the entrance on the first floor.
That is the badge of the Beichen Royal Family, with an anchor drawn on it, and a star called the "North Star" on top of the anchor, which is said to have disappeared from the starry sky of the Beichen Galaxy for several epochs.
All the Holy Churches belong to the Beichen Royal Family.
The highest leader of all the Holy Churches is called the High Priest, who is also the High Priest of the Beichen Royal Family.
Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong were the first to walk in.
The Holy Church here is not spacious. There is no front hall. Walking up the steps outside leads directly to the main entrance.
However, the dome is quite high.
Because there are high domes and spires here, the area where the Holy Church is located is generally a no-fly zone.
Flying Vehicles and fighter jets cannot pass over the Holy Church.
Standing at the entrance of the hall and looking inside, one immediately feels the vastness of the sky and the insignificance of human beings.
At this hour, there should be no one in the Holy Church.
But there was a man sitting in the front row of the Holy Church hall.
He put his hands together, propped them against his forehead, leaned forward, and rested his arms on the back of the seat in front of him.
From their perspective, the man's shoulders were very straight, and his back showed an inverted triangle shape.
Ping Qiong looked at the man's back and suddenly blushed, and quietly asked Xia Chujian, "Chujian, don't you think this man's back has a captivating charm?"
Xia Chujian looked at the man's back, shook her head, and said, "I can't see it."
Where is the charm? Looking at that thin body, she felt that she could beat two or three of that kind of man with one hand.
Because of their arrival, the Holy Church, which had been quiet and silent, had a bit more vitality.
A deacon of the Holy Church walked over and said to the man, "Sir, would you like to talk to our Realm Lord?"
The man stood up and said lazily, "No, I'm just sitting here. I don't believe in this."
His voice was like forged gold and tempered jade, with a critical sharpness and a kind of indifference that saw through the world.
When Ping Qiong heard this voice, she was like a fool, her attention completely attracted.
Xia Chujian's impression of the man improved quite a bit because of those words.
She didn't believe it either.
Ye Shijie, Song Mingqian, and Li Fu walked up at this moment, standing behind Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong.
The man happened to turn around and was taken aback when he saw five more people at the exit.
Only then did they clearly see the man's face.
Xia Chujian had previously thought that Colonel Zong Ruoan of the Special Security Bureau was already a rare beauty among men.
And this man in front of her, in terms of facial features, was no less exquisite and handsome than Zong Ruoan, but the extreme world-weariness and decadence on his face was something Zong Ruoan didn't have, and it made Xia Chujian very uncomfortable.
She disliked this kind of person, regardless of gender.
Ping Qiong, however, became even more infatuated when she saw the man's face.
The moment the man turned his head, it was as if all sounds had disappeared, and Ping Qiong could only hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
It was as if she was a traveler who had seen home after many years of trekking, or a thirsty traveler who had finally found the end of his journey.
But the man acted as if he didn't see them, passing them by as if no one else was there, and walked out of the Holy Church.
As soon as he went out, a large Flying Vehicle appeared from mid-air, slowly descending and stopping in the open space in front of the Holy Church.
The Flying Vehicle's hatch opened, and two men in black jumped out, standing in front of the hatch as guards.
And the man stepped into the Flying Vehicle without looking sideways, like a noble monarch.
But after he sat down, he looked back at the five-person Team standing at the entrance of the Holy Church, suddenly stretched out his hand, made a gesture of a pistol, aimed at them, and softly said "bang."
Then, the two men in black also jumped into the Flying Vehicle.
The Flying Vehicle's black hatch slowly lowered, cutting off the man's gaze as well.
After the Flying Vehicle flew out of sight, Xia Chujian indignantly said, "Crazy! Is this person sick!"
Song Mingqian saw Ping Qiong's appearance, his heart sank, and he loudly said, "He is sick! He's not a normal person at all!"
Ping Qiong subconsciously didn't like hearing them say bad things about the man.
But the man's behavior just now was indeed a bit too much.
They didn't know each other at all, but he made that kind of gesture towards them, as if in front of him were not normal humans, but Humanoids livestock that he could kill at will.
Li Fu retracted his gaze and softly said, "That man's Flying Vehicle is many times better than our Flying Vehicle, basically comparable to a fighter jet."
"...You mean, he's a rich man?" Xia Chujian liked to express complex statements in the simplest and most direct words she could understand.
Li Fu chuckled: "This kind of Flying Vehicle can't be bought just with money. It also depends on whether Zong Military Industries is willing to sell it, and whether the Royal Family allows it to be sold."
"Who is he? Is he some celebrity? No, if he was a celebrity, I would definitely know! And I would become his die-hard fan!" Ping Qiong became excited, grabbed Xia Chujian's arm, and kept saying, "He's just the person I've always wanted! How can someone grow exactly to my aesthetic point?! Do you know? I can't breathe just looking at his back..."
Xia Chujian said honestly: "You can't breathe, it may be that the ventilation system here has a problem."
The deacon who was standing aside was originally planning to dutifully take them to visit this Holy Church.
But after hearing Xia Chujian say this, the deacon was unhappy and said with dissatisfaction: "This lady, our Holy Church's ventilation system is intact and there is no problem at all."
Xia Chujian said "Oh" and asked, "Really? But I smell a sour stench in the air."
The deacon sniffed around, repeatedly asking, "Where? Where?"
Xia Chujian chuckled and hugged Ping Qiong's shoulders, asking, "Cai Jie, have you smelled that unique, sour stench of love in the air?"
Ping Qiong rarely blushed, stomping her feet and saying, "Chujian! Are you itching for a beating! Be careful when we get back to the hotel, I'll make sure you can't sleep all night!"
Xia Chujian ran into the Holy Church, saying, "I'm so scared! I'm so scared!"
By joking and teasing, she finally diverted Ping Qiong's attention a little.
But Song Mingqian's spirits were obviously low.
Ye Shijie followed Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong inside.
Song Mingqian fell behind, walking beside Li Fu, and whispered, "Fu Ye, do you know who that man was just now?"
Li Fu chuckled: "Don't worry, that man's status is too high, Cai Jie is just temporarily confused, she will soon wake up."
"Who exactly is that man?" Song Mingqian stubbornly asked.
Li Fu quietly said, "He's from the Quan Family..."
"...Which Quan Family? Oh, that Quan Family?"
"Yes, that Quan Family. One of the Four Great Noble Families, the controller of Quan's Mining." Li Fu quietly said, "But he's from the second branch, not the most powerful first branch of the Quan Family."
Song Mingqian gave a wry smile: "You think saying he's from the second branch of the Quan Family would make me happy? - The Quan Family, even their watchdog, is probably more noble than people like us..."
Li Fu sighed and said, "My emotions want to say no, but my reason tells me that's right. A watchdog from one of the Four Great Noble Families is more noble than us."
"So if there's a chance to marry into such a wealthy family, no girl would refuse, right?" Song Mingqian muttered again.
Li Fu's lips twitched, thinking, In the eyes of a lover, the person they like is truly special...
Actually, with Ping Qiong's conditions, how could she be worthy of the Quan Family? - The difference is several Beichen Star Regions! Li Fu scratched his head, calling Song Mingqian by his nickname, "Song Mingqian, don't be so suspicious. I think Cai Jie's attitude towards that young master of the Quan Family is like chasing after celebrities. Would you be jealous of those celebrities? If not, then don't be jealous of this man. This man is much more noble than a celebrity."
"Who exactly is he?"
"The eldest son of the Quan Family's second branch, Quan Yugui."
"How do you know?" Song Mingqian looked at Li Fu suspiciously. "The Star Network's popular wealthy young masters never include the Four Great Noble Families."
Li Fu scoffed: "...Haven't eaten pork, but haven't I seen pigs run? - Never mind how I know, in short, he is Quan Yugui, the eldest son of the Quan Family's second branch."
Song Mingqian rolled his eyes at him, took a few quick steps, and chased after them.
...
