Chapter 365: Assassins
Chapter 365: Assassins
As the group prepared to walk toward the famous Flowery Restaurant, Yang Wei was praying for his life.
‘Hopefully, Yan Meixu is not in the restaurant.’ Yang Wei prayed silently.
Yan Meixu was the owner of the Flowery Restaurant and also a fearsome person.
She might seem like a seductive woman at first without any power, but those who really know her are fearful of her.
Not only could she make people’s minds go crazy for her, but she also had an extremely fearsome technique called, Mirage Tempest.
The Mirage Tempest was so strong that it had easily annihilated Wang Jang from the Wang Clan.
“What’s wrong, Yang Wei?” Jing Feng asked from the side when she realized he was not being himself again.
Suddenly, her eyes narrowed when she recalled that this kind of situation always happened when Yang Wei was guilty of something relating to a woman.
She then called out for Meng Yan who had suggested the Flowery Restaurant in the first place.
“Disciple Meng Yan, do you know who’s the owner of the Flowery Restaurant?” Jing Feng asked.
Meng Yan was dumbfounded by her sudden question as she recalled Jing Feng was never the type to ask such things.
However, she didn’t dare to ignore her as she swiftly replied, “The owner of the Flowery Restaurant should be someone called Yan Meixu. After the incident of the Wang Clan’s annihilation, people were frightful of her yet some still couldn’t stop themselves from leering at her lascivious figure.”
“Oh… Lascivious figure?”
“Un, according to rumors, one glance from her would send any men straight to heaven as they could only dream about inducing their lustful desire on her.”
Jing Feng nodded her head as she finally got the gist of the situation.
“Ok then, you can continue to chat with other disciples.” Jing Feng waved her hand as she stopped asking her question.
Meanwhile, Meng Yan held a suspicious gaze as she realized Yang Wei was sweating profusely from behind.
Just as she was about to ask what’s going on, Lian Xinyue suddenly said something and it irked her.
Thus, she decided to drop her curiosity and go back to arguing with Lian Xinyue.
Yang Wei could only swallow some of his saliva nervously as he cursed the Ling City to heart.
‘Why did they choose Ling City out of every city in the Kingdom to conduct the Sect Tournament?’ Yang Wei cried inwardly as he could feel a cold chill emitting from his back thanks to Jing Feng.
Jing Feng held a gentle expression as she held a loving gaze at him.
“Do I need to ask again or would you be generous to tell me?” She asked sweetly.
Yang Wei smiled awkwardly as he whispered softly, “I-I’ll tell you, Jing Feng. No need to get mad.”
“That’s much better, Yang Wei.”
Sometime later, Yang Wei once again recounted all of his experience with Yan Meixu.
By the time he finished talking, the group had already arrived at the Flowery Restaurant.
“Jing Feng, what are you doing?” Shan Zhilan turned around and asked her when she noticed Jing Feng was lacking behind.
“Oh, nothing, Yang Wei and I have something else important to do.” Jing Feng asked as she flicked her hand. “You enter with the disciples first. Me and Yang Wei will arrive later.”
Shan Zhilan nodded her head.
“Very well then, make sure to not take too long. Otherwise, I doubt you would have any food left to eat.” Shan Zhilan said as she brought the disciples inside first.
Meanwhile, Jing Feng turned around to smile happily at Yang Wei.
Yang Wei’s body trembled slightly as he knew this was not going to end well.
Jing Feng brought Yang Wei to an alley as she pinned him down on the wall.
“Tell me, Yang Wei. Just how many women have you attracted so far?” Jing Feng asked.
“First we have you and Su Mingxia. Then you have a somewhat friendship with someone from the Saint Race. And now you even have an ambiguous relationship with Yan Meixu from the Flowery Restaurant?”
“I don’t have an ambiguous relationship with Yan Meixu. I had only thought she needed some assistance, but in the end, she took care of her problems herself.”
Jing Feng narrowed her eyes at him.
“Do you even know who Yan Meixu is?” Jing Feng asked.
Yang Wei shook his head.
“All I know is that Yan Meixu’s cultivation base should be no lesser than a Nascent Soul Realm. And her technique is extremely unique and powerful.” Yang Wei answered honestly.
Jing Feng could only sigh softly at the ignorance of Yang Wei.
She had originally thought he was ignorant about the cultivation world, but he was also ignorant about the people- or more specifically, women that he interacted with.
“Yang Wei… you might not know this, but I recall hearing the name, Yan Meixu once.” Jing Feng spoke calmly as she glanced around her surroundings.
Making sure that no one was nearby, Jing Feng leaned closer to his face as she whispered, “Yan Meixu should be someone from the Central Zone. And there must be a motive for her being in Ling City and I can guarantee that it’s anything but great.”
Meanwhile, Yang Wei became dumbfounded when he realized another person was from the Central Zone.
Just how many women did he know belonged to the Central Zone?
“Why is my luck always this bad?” Yang Wei twitched his mouth as he wanted to know if it was a blessing or a misfortune for knowing them.
“Hmph, if your luck is always bad, then how did you manage to capture my heart?” Jing Feng smacked his head slightly as she showed a pouty expression.
“Anyway, what I want to say is that you should be careful of the women you interact with. I don’t know why, but there’s always this mysterious aura around you that makes others attracted to you.” She added.
“I have a mysterious aura around me? I don’t think so… since Meng Yan and Lian Xinyue weren’t really that attractive to me.”
“That’s because their cultivation base is way too low and they are not experienced with the outside world, Yang Wei. For people that hailed from the Central Zone, they have this natural innate ability to tell someone capability.”
Yang Wei pondered for a few moments, hoping to comprehend Jing Feng’s meaning.
Alas, he didn’t get a chance to do so when a loud explosion suddenly occurred.
BOOOM!
“What happened?” Yang Wei asked in confusion before seeing flames of smoke occurring in the Flowery Restaurant.
Meanwhile, Jing Feng didn’t bother saying anything else as she grabbed Yang Wei’s arms and activated her movement technique.
Her direction was the Flowery Restaurant as she needed to make sure Shan Zhilan and the rest were safe.
With a swooshing sound, Jing Feng arrived at the scene as she quickly activated her spiritual perception.
Her expression darkened completely when she saw Shan Zhilan and the disciples fighting against a group of black-clothed people.
“There are assassins, Yang Wei.” Jing Feng informed Yang Wei as she rushed inside the Flowery Restaurant.
Yang Wei exuded a deadly aura as he followed Jing Feng inside.
Through the smoke, Yang Wei could see the black-clothed people thanks to his spiritual perception.
“Hmph, the nerve of these people.” Yang Wei snorted coldly as he retrieved his Lightbane and assisted the others to fend against the assassin.
Meanwhile, Jing Feng landed next to Shan Zhilan as she flicked her hand and sent out a wave of spiritual qi toward an assassin.
“What happened here, Shan Zhilan?” Jing Feng asked.
“We were just waiting for our dinner until an explosion occurred around the rooftop. Afterward, I noticed multiple assassins appearing from the ceiling as they launched an attack toward us.” Shan Zhilan explained while fending off the other assassins.
“Did we lose any disciples?”
“I don’t know… the current scene is too chaotic for me to determine.”
Suddenly, Yang Wei appeared next to them as he showed a dreadful expression.
“Lian Xinyue and Meng Yan are missing here.” Yang Wei said.
And he continued, “I have left a bit of spiritual qi on them before, but I don’t sense them anywhere in here now.”
“Those assassins must be targeting after them,” Jing Feng said in a grave tone as she stared at Yang Wei.
“Yang Wei, take this talisman and try to find them. Shan Zhilan and I still need to remain here to defend the other disciples.”
Yang Wei nodded his head.
Taking the talisman from Jing Feng, Yang Wei kicked the ground softly as he propelled himself to the top.
Floating mid-air, Yang Wei increased his spiritual perception around the area to search for Meng Yan and Lian Xinyue.
Within a few seconds, Yang Wei saw them being chased after by assassins as they began to struggle against them.
‘Who would have the audacity to launch an attack in public?’ Yang Wei wondered silently as he dashed toward their direction.
