Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch 312's. Zhang En's Rejection
Dong Quan was sitting next to his father, the Lightning-Man King. As he filled his father's wine cup, the corner of his eyes glimpsed toward Zhang En.
His actions paused for a moment in shock before flying with killing intent raging in his heart.
“You bastard, I don't expect you to actually dare to come here to the City of the Nine Dragons!” Dong Qian laughed out loud in an arrogant manner, his eyes turning red upon seeing Zhang En, similar to a lion about to go berserk.
At that moment, everyone on the first floor turned to look at Zhang En. The Lightning Human King and his group of subordinates were the first to look up.
"Dad, it was that bastard who killed Feng Yu!" Dong Qian quickly pointed towards Zhang En to the Lightning Human King.
"Oh!"
A beam of light flashed deep within the pupils of the Lightning Human King. The incident related to Feng Yu's murder, had infuriated Feng Peng who required him to apologize to him, kneeling before Feng Peng in front of all the experts of the Monkey God Temple to defend his son's life had greatly cost him face and dignity.
The other cultivators who were eating on the first floor were dumbfounded to hear Dong Qian's words. They all knew about the son of the Monkey God Shrine Master, Feng Yu, who was killed in Vermillion City, but it never crossed their minds that the killer was a young human who had just climbed upstairs.
Right now, Queen Qiao and Grand Elder Yensi had also seen Zhang En's arrival. Looking at Zhang En, Fairy Queen Qiao's expression was filled with pleasant surprise. His alluring eyes sparkled as if they had withstood a thousand unspoken words.
Without needing the Lightning Human King to speak, his subordinates jumped to their feet, spreading out to surround Zhang En.
Zhang En raised a hand to stop the impatient Spirit-Eating Monkey from starting to fight.
“So, you guys want to fight here?” Zhang En looked at the Lightning Human King and Dong Qian with indifference.
The Lightning Human King frowned. This was the City of the Nine Dragons and the Temple of the Nine Dragons had clearly decided that anyone who dared to cause trouble or fight within the city would be put to death regardless of their identity.
Although he, the Lightning Human King, stood at the peak of the entire Human Race in the Wind Eye Continent, in front of the Nine Dragons Temple he was no more like an ant. He was not reckless to the point of ignoring the clear orders of the Nine Dragons Temple.
"Dad, we can't let this bastard go!" Dong Qian urged her father anxiously.
The Lightning Human King waved his hand, recalling his subordinates, "Don't worry, he won't be able to run!" He looked at Zhang En, "Look, I'll let you live a few more days."
In his opinion, after the beastmen tribe and the merging ceremony of the demon beast clan were completed, Zhang En would leave the Nine Dragons City and they would face him later! The Lightning Human King quickly decided and drew up a plan.
Hearing that these people dared to threaten Zhang En, the Spirit-Eating Monkey was enraged, its momentum surging, mixed with condensed killing intent. His demonic Qi swept over the first floor of the restaurant like a storm.
“Land of the Early Heavenly God Realm!”
Everyone who felt it was dumbfounded.
Still, Zhang En raised his hand, stopping the Violet Spirit-Eating Monkey for the second time. His gaze switched coldly between the Lightning Human King and Dong Qian, “Let me live a few more days? I'll wait and see what you can do to me."
"Young Master...!"
Queen Qiao led Yensi and a few Fairy Elders, walking over with a faint smile on her face as she called out to Zhang En.
Zhang En could only smile in return, nodding his head in greeting.
“Young Master heals the Tree of Life. After we parted ways in the Fairy Forest, I didn't expect to meet the Young Master here. Does Young Master want to sit with us?” Fairy Queen Qiao took the initiative to invite Zhang En.
Waves of shock struck the hearts of the experts around, staring at Zhang En in astonishment. Some time ago, rumors circulated that the Tree of Life had been healed. Again, they did not expect that the young man had done it.
"Who exactly is this young man ?! He even had a high-level demonic beast expert with him!"
Those present tried to guess Zhang En's identity.
Both the Lightning Human King and Dong Qian were also surprised to hear that this young man was the one who healed the Tree of Life, but even so, it was, the initiative of Fairy Queen Qiao to invite Zhang En made the expressions of her father and son become gloomy.
Seeing Fairy Queen Qiao taking the initiative to invite him, Zhang En pondered for a moment, but still shook his head, "Thank you very much for Queen Qiao's kindness, Zhang En said, but since I haven't seen this good brother of mine in years, it might be uncomfortable because we brothers, want to share a drink in person. We've booked a private room on the second floor." Said Zhang En while looking at the Youth beside him who was none other than the Spirit-Eating Monkey.
He could see that the Fairy Queen gave an invitation to him out of kindness, intending to protect him, indirectly telling the Lightning Human King that Zhang En was on good terms with the Fairy Race. This way, the Lightning Human King needed to think twice before moving towards him.
However, when had Zhang En ever relied on a woman for protection?
Queen Qiao could not hide the disappointment in her eyes over Zhang En's refusal. Previously, in the Fairy Forest, Zhang En had already rejected him once. He believed that Zhang En was aware of his feelings. For the first time in his life, he began to doubt his own charm.
The jaws of the surrounding customers gaped upon hearing Zhang En rejecting the invitation from the Fairy Queen.
However, Queen Qiao recovered quickly from her disappointment. Taking a glance at the human form of the Spirit-Eating Monkey beside Zhang En, he smiled and asked, “This disrespectful me wants to ask. May I ask how many days the Young Master plans to stay in Nine Dragons City?”
Zhang En replied: "Most likely around two months."
For the merging ceremony of the beastmen tribe and the demon beast clan, Zhang En needed time to ignore the various aspects of integration and clear the hidden strength of the Black Crow Sect in the Wind Eye Continent. Therefore, he estimated that he should stay for at least two months.
Hearing Zhang En say that he would stay in Nine Dragons City for two months, bubbles of excitement filled Fairy Queen Qiao.
Furthermore, Zhang En spoke a little more with Fairy Queen Qiao before ascending to the second floor with the Spirit-Eating Monkey.
Watching the two people disappear on the second floor, the first floor broke out in discussion, while a hesitant light flickered in the eyes of the Lightning Human King following Zhang En's disappearing silhouette.
“Gosh Dragon, it seems like this kid is not as simple as we think. Should we send someone to investigate her background? ” A high-level Elder sitting beside the Lightning Human King spoke.
