Great Swordsman
Ch.11 - Leaving the Lotus Sect (2)
“Brother Feng, where are we headed?”
Gao Gao asked curiously. His eyes that were as big as a ball looked at Xu Feng with anticipation. For him, their departure was the beginning of a new adventure.
“It.. I still haven't decided. The most important thing is to stay away from the reach of Batu Hitam city.”
Xu Feng shook his head and replied in a slow tone.
“I really don't understand your decision. What's wrong? What happened exactly?”
Gao Gao asked, still excited.
“Not now.. Later on.”
Xu Feng could only smile and pat Gao Gao on the shoulder. This guy really thinks of everything as a new thing. His curiosity is really high.
“Come.. We must hurry!”
With a simple push, they rushed away.
A few hours later they left the Black Stone city and entered the wilderness. High trees and dew stood along both sides of the road.
At first they still often met with groups of tourists and traders. But the more they drifted away, the fewer people they met.
“Brother, I'm already exhausted.”
Gao Gao said weakly. He stuck out his tongue and breathed heavily. Her fatty body was truly a curse for such a long journey.
“Ahh I miss a mount even more, it would be better if it was a White Horse”
Gao Gao's eyes were back on. Her new dream ignited her spirit.
“But it's expensive and rare.”
His head bowed, his dreams came and went that fast.
“You..”
Xu Feng wanted to laugh seeing the fat man talking to himself. He can't follow his mindset.
“Do not worry.”
Xu Feng patted his shoulder. He told her that one day he would give her an incredible ride.
“Really?”
Gao Gao's eyes flashed with excitement. He had no doubts about what Xu Feng said. He always believed in her.
“Really.”
Xu Feng nodded.
“But first of all quickly ascend to the First Stage!”
Xu Feng gave the conditions, causing the fat man's body to tremble.
“It.. Can it be replaced?”
Gao Gao asked doubtfully.
“Hehehe then forget my promise”
Xu Feng looked away. Regarding this, he was a little helpless. Gao Gao is actually a genius because he has the talent of Circle Three, but the boy is very lazy in training.
He always exclaimed that his dream was to become a merchant and build a famous auction house. Cultivation was the last thing he wanted to do.
From the viewpoint of this world, Gao Gao's mind was very strange.
“Good.”.
Gao Gao surrendered. For the mount of his dreams, he was ready to go through the hell called training. That's determination.
Time was getting late and there was no longer anyone they met on the way. The sun had already set when they found a small inn at the corner of the crossroads.
A wooden plaque with the inscription ‘Bambu Kuning’ hangs above the inn entrance.
There were several horse carriages parked in the courtyard of the inn, seemingly belonging to some wandering merchant.
In one corner there is a car that is very striking from the other. The exterior of the gate is beautifully decorated and looks expensive. His mount was not an ordinary horse but rather two one-star demonic beasts, the Adult Snow Deer!
The appearance of the carriage clearly showed the status of its owner.
The two could not help but glance at the carriage for a moment.
“We'll spend the night here”
“Are you serious? We don't even have a penny of silver” taels
“Just relax, I have some useful things.”
Xu Feng pointed at the cloth pouch on his waist and continued with a seductive grin
“Also, you still have some spiritual stones.”
Hearing that, Gao Gao rolled his eyes and almost shouted. He could only grit his teeth .
“Damn it, you even want to waste spiritual stones just for lodging..
“This is my only treasure to open my dream business!!”
Xu Feng pretended not to hear it and walked towards the inn. From behind him, Gao Gao followed helplessly and could only grumble.
Despite being far from the city and being in the wilderness, the inn became crowded due to the arrival of many guests. The merchants from various places made the atmosphere in the inn full of life on the cold night.
When Xu Feng and Gao Gao stepped in, their arrival attracted attention. After all, the clothes they were wearing were extremely shabby and looked like beggars. Except for the fact that both of them carried swords.
Comparing them, the merchants were wealthy and their clothes looked neat and clean. Such a difference made the two too conspicuous at the inn.
Xu Feng ignored the whispers around him and walked towards the reception desk. The waiter on duty was a woman in her 20s. His face looks mediocre and not too attractive unless his curves are quite tempting.
“Excuse me.”
Xu Feng wanted to reserve a room but was immediately interrupted by the woman's cold voice
“We don't feed beggars!”
His voice carried indifference. He looked at Xu Feng from top to bottom without any interest before calling the guards.
“Bring them both out!!”
Xu Feng frowned but said nothing. He gazed towards the two inn guards and was slightly surprised at their first stage aura.
“It looks like this inn has a little background.”
Xu Feng came to a conclusion. He did not want to start a new conflict with an unknown power.
“Excuse me nak.”
One of the old guards looked at Xu Feng elaborately before sighing and pointing at the entrance of the inn. He tried as gently as possible.
He seemed to sympathize with Xu Feng but did not dare to break the rules.
“You! We are not beggars!”
Gao Gao shouted in annoyance from behind.
“You.”
The young guard was shocked for a moment by Gao Gao's shout and drew his sword. He wanted to make a move but was immediately stopped by the old guard, calling that there was no need to overdo it.
The young guard was slightly dissatisfied, both of them had the same position, there was no need to obey him. He looked at Gao Gao cruelly.
“Good good, a beggar like you no longer seems to know your place”
Gao Gao ignored the young guard and only gave a cold snort.
He was instead staring at Xu Feng's back. He already knew that Xu Feng was at the Second Stage when they were on their way to this place.
Second Stage Cultivators had already carried some status wherever they went. It is no longer something that most people can ignore.
The nickname of the warrior is not given for free.
“Brothers.”.
Xu Feng understood Gao Gao's intentions.
“Forget it.”
Xu Feng sighed and threw the cloth pouch that was on his waist at the reception desk.
“I want to exchange this for silver tael.. It should be more than enough to pay the lodging fee.”
His simple actions caused everyone to be dumbfounded. Not because of the cloth bag he threw, but because of the aura he emitted when throwing the pouch.
“How can it?”
The merchants who enjoyed the show were shocked and broke out in cold sweat. Their chests were tight as if a stone was pressing against their bodies. They were just ordinary people, such pressure made them difficult to breathe.
