Great Swordsman
Ch.19 - In the Main Hall

Xu Feng's forehead shriveled hearing that, he fell into deep thought.

“So this is also the reason why the village declined for several years?”

Xu Feng asked rhetorically which was immediately replied with a simple nod from Huo Teng.

“True headache..”

Xu Feng massaged his temple and had a slight headache. Joining the Xue Village brought many advantages but on the other hand also carried a dangerous risk. Xu Feng was not sure how many wolves were staring at the Xue Village.

“But the Village of Xue is actually not as bad as you think.”

Huo Teng understood Xu Feng's worries and immediately chimed in. He explained that the current Xue Village still had two Elders who were in the second stage. And also, he vaguely explained that the relationship between Xue Village and Huo Village was rather close. Huo Teng was once a friend of the Village Patriarch of Xue.

The reason why the Xue Village was still able to survive until now was precisely because of relying on that relationship. Huo Teng's reputation prevented greedy people from going too far.

“So so..”

Xu Feng nodded in understanding and immediately fell silent contemplating. He was considering it carefully. Huo Teng naturally did not speak anymore, he had already said all the things he needed to say. Now it was all up to Xu Feng.

To be honest, he hoped that Xu Feng would accept it. Not only because he wanted to help Xue Village because of the relationship between them but because Huo Village would also benefit if Xu Feng became the protector of Xue Village. With such a close relationship, the two villages could protect each other.

The two Third Stage controllers supported each other, who would dare to assort?

“I need to visit Xue Village before making a decision.”

Xu Feng still hesitated and finally came up with such a solution. He wanted to see the situation of the Xue Village with his own eyes first.

“Good.”

Huo Teng was slightly disappointed but did not show it and only smiled in response. He understood Xu Feng's prudence, it showed that he was a cold-headed youth and was not in a hurry. Xu Feng's quality dispelled his slight disappointment, he even more appreciated this young man.

“Mr..”

A little while later a clan member came to report and mentioned that Gao Gao had already arrived outside. Huo Teng was immediately annoyed when he heard that, he scolded his clan members and mentioned that he was the guest of honor, there was no need to make him wait outside.

“Quick bring him in!”

Huo Teng's orders were firm. The clan members panicked a little and immediately ran out in a hurry.

Not long after, the clan members returned with a fat man whose movements looked like a thief. He glanced back and forth with curiosity and his gaze sometimes stopped for a long time when he saw things that looked beautiful and expensive.

“Ohh so this is brother Guo!”

Huo Teng immediately got up and clasped Guo Guo's hands excitedly. The elders followed and saluted.

“Ah.”

Guo Guo was a little surprised at the enthusiasm they welcomed him. He glanced at Xu Feng through the sidelines with a questioning look.

“Ayo please sit!”

Huo Teng chuckled and greeted Guo Guo. Shortly thereafter, several waiters came carrying many trays containing various dishes. Xu Feng even saw that there was a Demon Beast meat among the dishes.

“Brother Huo, this dish is a bit excessive.”

Xu Feng spoke bluntly. Demonic Beast Meat was a top commodity item on the market, its properties that could strengthen the body made it an expensive item.

“Do not think brother Xu! Our clan members have their own hunting team, this is nothing!

Huo Teng waved his hand indifferently. What he said was not wrong, with his strength as a Third Stage, the flesh of a Demonic Beast was no longer an exaggeration. He could easily hunt her if he wanted to.

“Then I no longer need to hesitate.”

Xu Feng nodded. In fact, he wouldn't be surprised if it was just ordinary Demonic Beast meat. He spoke so because that meat was the flesh of a one-star Demon Beast, the Adult Iron Wolf! His strength was equivalent to the Third Stage of the Mortal Realm!

Hunting him won't be fooling around. A Third Stage could even die if it was not careful.

“It's delicious.”

Xu Feng exclaimed. At the same time, he felt an energy that began to spread throughout his body and made him feel warm. His body was slowly strengthened by the flesh of the Demon Beast bit by bit.

“Mmm this is the first time I have eaten the meat of an Adult Demon Beast.”

Gao Gao chimed in while burping. The portion on his plate ran out so quickly!

“Hahaha, please! Eat as much as you.”

Huo Teng laughed out loud and slapped his thighs, he ordered that the servants bring more Demon Beast meat.

Gao Gao was not a stiff man, he unceasingly devoured it as much as possible. Xu Feng even kicked Gao Gao's leg stealthily, telling him not to overdo it. Xu Feng was afraid that the reserves of the Huo Clan would run out if this continued.

Gao Gao's big belly is not for show only. His digestive organs were even more absurd, it could unravel the energy of anything Gao Gao swallowed as fast as lightning. This fat man was basically a walking vacum cleaner.

“Ughh.”

Gao Gao was almost choked by the bone and hurriedly raised his glass. After that too, the duration of lifting and swallowing the meat gets slower over time. One could not possibly be aware of his careful changes.

The tacit understanding between the two of them was very strange.

“Patriark.”

Someone entered whispering something in Huo Teng's ear when they had just finished eating. Huo Teng's eyebrows shot up for a moment hearing that.

“Brother Xu, Brother Gao.. There is something important that requires my presence, I retreat for a moment.”

Huo Teng spoke in an apologetic tone.

“No need to hesitate brother Huo, you are the Patriarch, is the obligation to carry out your duties well!”

Xu Feng waved his hand and did not take issue. Huo Teng nodded and had Huo Tin accompany Xu Feng before leaving the main hall with the other Elders.

To break the silence, First Elder Huo Tin brought up the topic.

“Senior Xu, it would be better if we take a look at the young man who is practicing, how?”

He laughed and gave advice. He would naturally not let go of the opportunity that was in front of him, it would be a good thing if a person like Xu Feng could give advice to those young people.

“Sure.”

Xu Feng did not mind, He had nothing else to do. This matter could also be considered as his goodwill to the Huo Clan.

“Supparent thanks!”

Huo Tin was excited and clenched his hands together. He immediately guided Xu Feng and Gao Gao towards the training ground.
