The mont their eyes t.
The old man gave Xu Wendong a polite smile and then hobbled out of the elevator, walking with a limp as if he had trouble with his legs.
"Who exactly is he?"
"Why did I feel an extre sense of danger from him?"
Entering the elevator, Xu Wendong finally snapped back to his senses in terror.
As a cultivator at the Qi Refining Stage Level 1, his perception was beyond ordinary.
The unremarkable old man just now had sent shivers down his spine.
This kind of feeling shouldn’t have existed in soone of such advanced age.
Yes, he could tell that the old man wasn’t a cultivator.
Vital energy was sothing that couldn’t be faked.
But the feeling that made Xu Wendong’s scalp tingle was undeniably real.
When sothing is unusual, there must be sothing sinister.
This was what made Xu Wendong find the situation unimaginable and wary.
"This city indeed lives up to its na as the Six Dynasties Ancient Capital. In terms of historical depth, no city in the country can match it."
Xu Wendong tried to calm his emotions and then returned to the room, where Ye Qingxin was preparing to order takeout...
There was no other way.
Although they had eaten sothing earlier, it had been drugged. Even though Xu Wendong had neutralized it, he was now incredibly hungry.
"The rain outside has lessened. Luckily, there’s a food street nearby. Let’s go try so of the local delicacies!" Xu Wendong had initially thought of resting at the hotel.
But now, he also wanted to experience the culture of this ancient city.
"Okay."
Ye Qingxin readily agreed to Xu Wendong’s suggestion. Though she was an assassin, she was also a foodie. Her favorite thing was to sample local snacks after completing a mission.
In the drizzly mist.
Ye Qingxin, like a maid, held an umbrella as she and Xu Wendong strolled through Luoyang’s food street. Due to the rain, the street wasn’t crowded.
But the sight of a stunning woman holding an umbrella for a perfectly healthy man attracted quite a bit of attention, making people think Xu Wendong lacked gentlemanly manners.
So even comnted that his arms were just for show...
Xu Wendong paid no attention to this, instead savoring the unique snacks and delicacies of the city, imrsing himself in its atmosphere.
Although the city was reputed as the first ancient city of millennia, as Xu Wendong walked through it, he only sensed desolation and lancholy.
The city’s ancient fortune had run out, and it no longer had its forr glory.
This was Xu Wendong’s first direct experience of the concept of ’fortune.’
Cities have fortunes.
A nation also has a fortune.
And people, too, have fortunes.
His biggest distinction from ordinary people was his identity as a cultivator.
Cultivators blaze trails and go against the natural order, able to glimpse and even seize the Heavenly Dao’s fortune.
However,
how to seize the Heavenly Dao’s fortune beca a perplexing problem for countless cultivators.
"Go buy a skewer of candied hawthorn." Seeing a stand selling candied hawthorn ahead, Xu Wendong instructed Ye Qingxin.
Though he could have easily done it himself, his mind was occupied with thoughts about fortune.
It was as if there was a flash of spiritual light in his mind, sothing to grasp for a possible sudden enlightennt.
Opportunities for sudden enlightennt are rare and precious for cultivators.
Just then,
an unpleasant voice ca from behind: "Are you useless? Why don’t you buy it yourself if you have hands and feet?"
Xu Wendong turned around to see a young man in his twenties, followed by two sidekicks swaggering over, eyes coldly indifferent.
Before Xu Wendong could respond, the young man looked at Ye Qingxin, his face breaking into a radiant smile: "Hey beautiful, you’re his girlfriend, right?"
"I think this guy’s a pile of stinking dog shit, totally unworthy of you. Why not consider being with ?"
Another young man joined in with a teasing smile: "Beautiful, we were just having dinner with Young Master Zhong when he caught a glimpse of you. He was struck by your stunning looks. Better seize the chance!"
Soone else chid in: "That’s right, Young Master Zhong is the heir to the Zhong Family in Luoyang. Do you know what the Zhong Family ans in this city?"
"They’re people of power. If you’re with Young Master Zhong, I guarantee you’ll live in comfort and reach the peak of life."
Ye Qingxin looked at Xu Wendong with a smile: "I’m just your maid. Aren’t you angry they’re trying to steal away from you right in front of you?"
Xu Wendong’s eyes turned icy: "I’ll give you three seconds to get out of my sight!"
The earlier state of contemplation was disrupted, and now he was extrely angry.
He even had the urge to kill.
"Fuck, letting us leave? Are you tired of living?" a young man said, clenching his fist, glaring at Xu Wendong.
Young Master Zhong had a sinister smile on his face: "Young man, you’ve got so nerve, telling to get lost! Don’t you know, even the top officials in this city have to be polite..."
Before he could finish, Xu Wendong kicked out.
A scream echoed through the air.
Young Master Zhong was sent rolling over ten ters away, crashing into the curb with a bleeding head, looking quite miserable under the incredulous gaze of his two sidekicks.
"Shit, you, you, you... You dare hit Young Master Zhong?" one of the sidekicks looked at Xu Wendong in terror, as if he’d seen a ghost.
It would have been understandable if Xu Wendong didn’t know their identities.
But the problem was, they had already revealed Young Master Zhong’s identity to him.
This was utterly absurd!
"I don’t care who you are. Now get out of my sight!" Xu Wendong said, with a grim expression, emitting a strong murderous aura.
Feeling the aura, the two sidekicks turned pale, almost suffocated by the sheer pressure.
They couldn’t believe this young man had such a terrifying presence.
Especially his cold eyes, like a sharp blade piercing the soul.
Even Young Master Zhong, more than ten ters away, felt it. He clutched his head in terror: "Tell your na if you dare, let’s see if I can’t deal with you."
"Xu Wendong."
"Fine, we’ll see. I promise you’ll pay for what happened today!" Young Master Zhong spat viciously and fled with his two minions.
Watching the trio leave, Ye Qingxin’s face lit up with a charming smile: "Why are you so angry? Could it be that you’ve fallen for and are jealous?"
Xu Wendong smiled cynically: "Sorry, I haven’t slept with you yet, so I can’t say I’ve ’fallen for you.’"
Here, ’slept’ was used as a verb...
A slight blush tinged Ye Qingxin’s exquisite face: "Is your pace that fast?"
Xu Wendong shrugged, a mischievous smile on his face: "The pace is regular, but the sprint is fast!"
Ye Qingxin blushed further: "Why don’t we head back to the hotel now so I can experience just how fast your sprint is?"
