Translator: 549690339

In Xiehe’s Longzhou, there is a great river known as Longjiang.

The Longjiang River stretches for twenty thousand miles, extending from the east to the west, passing by Chengzhou, Chuanyuan, Da Lin, Longzhou, Yancang, Heqing, Nanji, and Shu Tai – eight regions in total. It runs through hundreds of large cities, making it one of the most important trade routes on the Xiehe continent.

Longjiang has over a hundred tributaries, with the five longest being known as the Small Longjiang, which include Lingjiang, Han River, Huaijjiang, Yongjiang, and Liaojjiang.

Lingjiang, a branch of Longjiang, originates from the northwest and flows to the southeast, its three-thousand-mile course covers over a hundred large and small cities in Longzhou.

Xiling City is built along the river, with the mile-wide Lingjiang River splitting the city into two areas: South Xiling River and North Xiling River.

The Lingjiang, which runs through over a hundred cities, is also the most crucial economic source for Xiling. Even to this day, water transportation remains one of Xiling City’s most important industries.

As Xiling City is situated right in the center of Longzhou and is at the heart of the Lingjiang basin, it naturally became a flourishing commercial metropolis.

The Lingjiang Waterway is also one of the most convenient modes of transportation in Longzhou.

Under the Lingjiang Bridge, a robust teenager stands by a pillar, gazing at the surging Lingjiang with a thousand thoughts.

The young man has a tall and slender physique. Though dressed in plain clothes, he carries a sharp and aggressive air, unlike an ordinary boy.

He appears to be seventeen or eighteen, with extremely handsome features and a courageous aura. A scar separates the brow on his left eye into two parts, giving him a bold and untamed look.

The young man held a piece of white jade with cloud patterns and a large “Han” character engraving on it. He stood there for a long time.

After a while, Fang Han put the jade into his pocket and glanced in the direction of the martial hall.
