Chapter 549: Here to Show Off One’s Might
Ling Chuxi, Fu Chengyu and Ling Yichen were all stunned at the same time.
It couldn’t be, right? A guardian of a country was actually using such a low-level technique of escaping responsibility… Ling Chuxi had originally thought that she herself was already shameless enough, she never thought that there would be someone that was even more shameless. However, coming back to the topic at hand, since even eating free meals was already a norm to Mo Kongyuan, perhaps occasionally using such a cheap tactic was not a big deal to him.
“Mister, there is someone outside seeking to meet you.” Just as Mo Kongyuan was getting ready to split, slip away and go on a long trip again, Uncle Chai came forward to speak.
“Oh? Who is it?” Mo Kongyuan was overjoyed. This was great, he didn’t need to use the toilet break escape method anymore. No matter what, he was still the guardian of a country after all. How was he someone people could meet just because they wanted to? Therefore, he still put on the impressive airs of an expert to inquire as to who it was who came to see him in an outburst of admirability.
“The person leading them is called Feng Zitian. He said that as long as you hear his name, you would know his identity,” replied Uncle Chai.
“Feng Zitian.” Mo Kongyuan frowned slightly, pondering for a moment before he said, “Let them in.”
Uncle Chai responded affirmatively and left. Mo Kongyuan looked at the surface of his lake without speaking, deep in thought.
“Feng Zitian. What is he here for?” asked Fu Chengyu in doubt.
“You know him?” asked Ling Chuxi curiously. She on the other hand had never heard of this person before.
“I have heard of him before. Rumor has it that he is the number one expert of the younger generation in Ding Lin Country. It is just that he is very low profile and deeply hidden, so there are very few who know of him,” replied Fu Chengyu.
“Since he is deeply hidden and does not show himself often, how did he gain the widespread reputation of being the number one expert amongst the younger generation?” asked Ling Chuxi.
“Well…” Fu Chengyu found it hard to answer her question. If he was really was deeply hidden and did not reveal himself often, who would know he was the number one expert? Just like Mo Kongyuan, he has enjoyed countless free meals, but how many people in this world could say they knew his true identity and how many people had actually seen his true cultivation?
“So, he’s a faker. In the future he’ll be struck by lightning,” remarked Ling Yichen very solemnly.
“Pfft!” Mo Kongyuan spat out a mouthful of tea. It was the first time he witnessed Ling Yichen’s ability at adding in a verbal stab. Mo Kongyuan had thought that amongst Ling Chuxi and the rest of her usual group, this little guy was the most loyal, honest and serious of the lot. Only today did he find out that this little guy was not all that simple either.
“I have also heard rumors about him. However, there is one thing that all of you don’t know,” said Mo Kongyuan after he had finished laughing.
“What?” asked Ling Chuxi and both the guys as they looked at Mo Kongyuan.
“His master, Chu Fengyun is the guardian of Ding Lin Country, and is also Wu Feng Hall’s Great Worship Leader,” said Mo Kongyuan leisurely.
“Then, what is he here for?” Ling Chuxi asked with a frown. Besides Mo Kongyuan, Ling Chuxi knew absolutely nothing about the guardians of other countries. To be able to be the guardian of Ding Lin Country meant that Chu Fengyun’s cultivation was definitely profound and unfathomable, which meant that his disciple’s cultivation was naturally not that weak either. Why would the disciple of Ding Lin Country’s guardian travel such a long distance over here for? Was it the case of an unfriendly visitor? Indeed, Mo Kongyuan’s following words confirmed Ling Chuxi’s guess.
“From how I see it, this is most likely just to show off one’s might,” said Mo Kongyuan after pondering. Although, when he said this, Mo Kongyuan frowned slightly. Fearfully today wouldn’t be too peaceful for him.
As they were speaking, a trio of two men and a woman approached under the guidance of Uncle Chai.
The young man who was leading the visiting group was skinny with a deep complexion and restrained gaze. He gave off a hard to gauge feeling. Obviously, his cultivation was not beneath Ling Chuxi’s. This person must naturally be the disciple of Ding Lin Country’s guardian, Feng Zitian.
The woman trailing behind him was someone Ling Chuxi never thought she’d see here. Lo and behold, the woman was actually the Deity’s Servant Girl of the Deity Temple, E Shulan.
