Chapter 233: Chapter 232: ng Ji
"Waiter, another set of bowls and chopsticks!" Lin Feng called out.
"I don’t want to eat, no need!" the girl laughed.
Very soon, the waiter brought the bowls and chopsticks, and Lin Feng poured a cup of wine for her, saying, "Since you’re here, have a drink first. The wine at this tavern is quite good."
"I don’t drink wine." The girl still refused, showing a hint of caution towards the unfamiliar young man in front of her.
"Afraid of getting drunk? Or looking down on it? If it’s the latter, you can leave; I don’t like being watched while I drink alone." Lin Feng said, then raised his cup and drank it in one go.
"If you truly enjoy drinking, I can accompany you, but not here. I don’t like drinking in such places." The girl began to give in, unexpectedly finding the young man in front of her rather temperantal.
"Where? Not your auction house, I assu?" Lin Feng set down his cup and stared straight at her, although he wasn’t looking at her eyes but her figure.
With curves, seemingly even more pronounced than Sima Jingyi’s, she truly was a wonder, but who knows how her appearance is beneath the veil.
"No, are you interested in going sowhere with ?" The girl stood up and said.
"Lead the way!" Lin Feng stopped eating and placed twenty Star Stones on the table.
"I knew you would agree!" The girl said, then directly walked out of the tavern, Lin Feng following behind.
The girl’s direction was unexpectedly out of the city, leaving Lin Feng puzzled, but he continued to follow. After leaving the city, her speed noticeably increased, making it sowhat strenuous for Lin Feng to keep up.
Gradually, her speed beca faster and faster, almost like she was competing with Lin Feng, leaving a trail of shadows in her wake. Lin Feng could only manage to keep up using Shift Form and Shadow, but the distance between them grew.
Inwardly, he was increasingly astonished by the girl’s speed and strength.
"Lin Feng, this girl is indeed extraordinary. I almost fell for her guise, not realizing her true strength. You’re really courting danger." Sword Spirit suddenly interjected.
"Sister Yue’Er, why do you say that? Could she really be at the Celestial Martial Realm?" Lin Feng thought the remark was foolish; anyone faster than him must be extraordinary.
Moreover, she was the Master of Pingwu Auction House. It was unlikely without considerable strength.
"You’re underestimating her. This girl must be at least at the Divine Martial Realm but is concealing herself at the First or Second Layer of Celestial Martial Realm. If it wasn’t for her sudden acceleration causing a slight energy fluctuation, I wouldn’t have noticed. Be cautious, the opponent can easily dispatch you." Sword Spirit warned.
Lin Feng was startled; everyone he encountered seed formidable. This girl, though her face was obscured, appeared to be around his age, yet she turned out to be a master at the Divine Martial Realm. Truly, people can be aggravating.
Despite his continued efforts to elevate his strength to the Fifth Layer of Earth Martial Realm, the opposite party was at the Divine Martial Realm, leaving him feeling defeated.
Soon, the girl stopped, and after about two minutes, Lin Feng finally stood before her, smiling wryly, "The Master’s speed is truly formidable; I am sincerely impressed!"
"Haha, your speed isn’t bad either, actually keeping up with ." The girl laughed.
Lin Feng glanced around; the area turned out to be a vast natural adow outside the city, with a small river nearby, surrounded by wildflowers emitting a subtle fragrance.
"This place is quite pleasant; why did the Master lead
here? Surely it’s not because the scenery makes it the best spot for a kill!" Lin Feng joked.
The girl froze briefly, then asked, "Why such thoughts? Am I in your eyes truly a wicked woman?"
Lin Feng looked at her again and said, "You’re curious as to how I know your identity, yet you’ve said nothing about it, which is indeed surprising."
The girl didn’t directly answer Lin Feng’s question but sat down, gazing at the distant river and said, "Whenever I feel troubled, I’ll co here alone to quietly watch the blue sky, watch the river, and slowly my mood will improve."
"You also have troubling matters? That is indeed intriguing. By the way, what’s the young lady’s na?" Lin Feng asked, sitting down as well.
"Those who know my na have all died. Do you really want to know?" The girl looked at Lin Feng and asked.
"You could kill
with just a flick of your finger. A Divine Martial Realm expert isn’t sothing a lowly ant like
can compare to. But I’m rely curious why you appear here." Lin Feng showed no fear.
"You’re indeed mysterious, even knowing my level. truthfully, I did consider killing you. Those who learn my secrets must die, and you’re no exception." The girl continued to smile as if the matter of killing was quite casual.
Lin Feng took out a jug of wine from his Storage Ring, took a sip, and said, "You won’t kill , I know that. If you intended to, you could’ve done so at your auction house, no need to bring
here.
Your body bears many secrets and important missions unknown to others, tiring and troubling you, often leaving you hiding alone.
Because you truly have no one to confide in, and now I’ve beco your only confessor, you won’t kill ."
The killing intent flashed in the girl’s eyes but quickly vanished. The young man before her was incredibly shocking; although his strength was weak, his courage and insight were unparalleled. Especially the fact he knew her current confusion and identity, along with the objects he wielded, proved he was no ordinary person.
"Who exactly are you, and what is your purpose in Xuanwu City?" The girl asked.
"You haven’t answered my question. I said if you want the real answer, you must reveal your true self." Lin Feng smiled, "Want a drink? This wine is quite good."
"No man has dared speak to
like this except you; you’re the first. You wish to see my true face, but you’re perhaps not qualified yet, though I can tell you my na—I’m called ng Ji." The girl said.
"ng Ji? The na sounds a bit strange, why can’t you show your true face? Surely you don’t have that rule where soone must marry you after seeing it?" Lin Feng asked.
He had already been fooled once before, and although he now truly loved her, if ng Ji had a disastrous face, it would be problematic.
"You could say that, or not, it only counts if I willingly remove the veil. Have you encountered this before?" The girl quickly responded.
Lin Feng nodded, then smiled and said, "I ca to Xuanwu City rely passing through; my intended destination is Imperial City. Don’t be suspicious of , and regarding your identity, I won’t reveal it to anyone. Everyone has secrets, including .
I’m called Lin Feng, my real na, though now I go by Niu Tian. It’s getting late, let’s return!"
"You’re Lin Feng?" The girl’s face imdiately changed upon hearing.
"You know ? Impossible, it’s my first ti in Xuanwu City." Lin Feng asked, surprised.
"You killed the Third Prince of Sea Dragon Empire. Many people are aware of this, yet you dare co to Xuanwu City. You don’t know the Assassin’s Guild dispatched four top assassins?" ng Ji said.
"I didn’t know, but I hope no one recognizes , as long as you don’t tell." Lin Feng only now began to truly worry; the four elite assassins were even feared by Old Man Xu.
ng Ji noticed Lin Feng’s hint of worry and promptly said, "I can ensure your safety, but you must agree to one condition; otherwise, you are dood."
"What condition?" Lin Feng inquired, feeling uncertain about whether the four assassins could uncover his identity.
"I want..."
