Shielding Shishi behind him, Wutian's face was cold. The essence in his qi sea was already churning. This girl's cultivation was only at the initial stage of Rebirth, so Wutian was confident that he could win.
"Haha, you can say that. I advise you to know your place. Otherwise, you won't have a good time." The beautiful girl did not mind. Her expression was calm as she mocked.
The grassland was flat and there was nothing to block the view. The conflict here quickly attracted a lot of attention. The crowd slowly gathered and watched curiously.
"Oh, she seems to be the second miss of the Zhao family, Zhao Qing. I heard that she is arrogant and domineering. She uses her family's power to bully people. This time, she has her eyes on the Flying Fox. If they don't sell it, they might lose both her and the treasure."
"To be honest, the young miss of the Zhao family is really outrageous. It's fine if she bullies people, but now she's making things difficult for such a cute little girl. She's really inhumane."
A few passers-by whispered, but Zhao Qing heard them. Her face turned cold as she glared at them. The few of them tactfully shut their mouths and hurriedly left.
The Zhao family was the overlord of Ironstone Town and controlled most of the resources here. They did not dare to offend them. Otherwise, if they wanted to sell their goods in the future, they would be troubled.
Wutian listened carefully. He found out that the head of the Zhao family was the managing elder of the Yan Sect. This surprised him. He did not expect to offend someone on par with Uncle Lin.
A large sect had tens of thousands of disciples, not to mention the elders and the like, which added up to tens of thousands. Their expenses were very high, especially for some genius disciples. The resources they needed were several times more than other disciples. Therefore, the sect would send out some capable disciples to take care of worldly affairs and earn wealth and resources for the sect.
In reality, these people did not have high cultivation and were not talented. It was difficult for them to achieve anything. If they continued to cultivate, it would only be a waste of resources. However, one thing was for sure. They were loyal and devoted to the sect. Otherwise, they would not have been chosen to take care of the wealth.
This kind of local bully was difficult to deal with.
Zhao Qing played with a strand of hair in front of her chest as she leisurely said, "It looks like you're here to take part in the assessment. Since that's the case, I won't make things difficult for you. Give me the flying fox and these three essences will still be yours. Furthermore, I will recommend you to my father and guarantee that you will successfully enter the Yan Sect."
"Qing 'er, don't mess around!"
At this moment, a loud shout came from afar. From the town, a ferocious beast rushed over. This beast had the body of a tiger. It was one meter tall and two meters long. Its entire body was dark brown.
This was a Tempest Leopard. Its movements were nimble, and its four limbs were thick and powerful. As it galloped, the ground shook and rumbled incessantly, causing dust and dirt to rise into the air. On its back was a young man dressed in black clothes. His body was tall and straight, about seven feet tall. His long hair fluttered about, giving him a grave and stern feeling.
He was the Young Master of the Zhao Clan, Zhao Kuang. When he heard that his troublemaking younger sister was causing trouble at the entrance, he hurried over to stop her. Knowing his identity, the onlookers automatically opened up a path for him.
With a carp flip, he landed on the ground and reprimanded, "Qing 'er, don't be rude!"
"Brother, why are you here?" Zhao Qing lowered her head. She was a little afraid of this young man and did not dare to look him in the eye.
"Hmph, if I hadn't come, wouldn't you have caused trouble again? For the examination in a month's time, Father is already in a terrible fix. You, on the other hand, don't even know how to help. Instead, you're causing trouble everywhere. If Father finds out about this, don't even think about leaving the house for a while. "
Zhao Qing hurriedly said, "Brother, please don't tell father. Staying at home all day is just cultivation. I'm bored to death."
"You've already caused such a ruckus in town. Do you think father doesn't know? Just wait for your punishment! " Zhao Kuang said. Looking at Wutian, he cupped his hands and said, "Brother, I'm sorry. My younger sister is young and inexperienced. If she has offended you, please forgive her."
"Shishi, let's go." Wutian ignored him and pulled the little girl away.
"Brother, wait."
Frowning, Wutian said unhappily, "Is there anything else?"
"Don't misunderstand. I don't mean any harm. I'm sure you know that the Yan Sect's examination is in a month's time, so many people have come. The town's restaurants are all full. If you enter the town now, you'll probably have to sleep on the streets. Why don't you come to my house and apologize to my younger sister? "Zhao Kuang said.
"No need." Wutian replied indifferently. He pulled the little girl into the town.
"You don't know what's good for you." Zhao Qing pouted. Holding Zhao Kuang's arm, she said coquettishly, "Brother, that little fox is so cute. Can you buy it for me? I really like it!"
Zhao Kuang warned, "Don't forget father's instructions. These days, there are all kinds of people in the town. There are many disciples from big families or extremely evil people. You better be careful in case you attract trouble."
"Aren't they just two kids? What's the big deal?" Zhao Qing mumbled.
Zhao Kuang shook his head. His sister was inexperienced and arrogant. He said, "Qing 'er, don't underestimate them. I saw them riding a Lightning Eagle from the watchtower. Also, the little girl's spirit pet is a Flying Fox. This means that she might have a rare Light Spirit Body. This is a serious matter. We have to inform father quickly."
With that, he leaped onto the Storm Leopard with Zhao Qing and left.
"Brother, it's so lively here."
Entering the town, the sky was filled with noise and shouting. Looking around, the ten miles long street was filled with people walking shoulder to shoulder. There was an endless stream of horses and carriages.
The shops on both sides of the street were filled with all kinds of goods.
"Wow, these things are so beautiful. Uncle, can I take a look?"
Shishi was like a little angel. She looked here and touched there. She was so cute that the vendors liked her. They gave her one or two cute accessories.
"Uncle, thank you!" Shishi's mouth was very sweet. The vendors were all smiling. They liked the little girl very much.
It was also the first time Wutian came to such a big town. He looked around curiously. The sounds of hawking, bargaining, discussion, laughter, and clamor intertwined. This place was bustling and lively.
"Shishi, you must be hungry. Brother will bring you to eat."
Pulling the little girl, Wutian found a restaurant. There was a sea of people here. There were both men and women. They were whispering and discussing the situation of the Yan Sect. It seemed that they were also here to take part in the exam.
Wutian found a private room and served many delicacies. Little Tian was already drooling and wolfing down the food. Xiao Yi was not reserved. She fought with the little guy and gobbled up the food. Her black pearl-like eyes shone with a strange light. She obviously liked it very much.
"Brother, the food here is so delicious." The little girl ate with relish. Her face was oily and she looked like a little kitten. She was lively and cute.
The two little guys had huge appetites. The restaurant did not even have time to serve the food. They only stopped when they finished five roasted suckling pigs and four roasted lambs. They were still not satisfied. The waiter who paid the bill was dumbfounded.
Wutian wanted to stay here, but the waiter said that there were no more empty rooms. He helplessly pulled the little girl away and looked for a place to stay. There was still more than a month to the Yan Sect's exam. They could not really sleep on the streets. He did not mind, but Shishi was so weak. She could not suffer with him.
The sun set in the west and night gradually fell.
Wutian searched through all the big and small restaurants in the town, but did not find a spare room. Even the homestay was full. Some people suggested to go to the entrance to set up a tent and occupy a place first. Otherwise, in a few days, there will be more and more people.
"Brother, can we play for a while more? It's beautiful here at night!" The little girl had played for an entire day. Her face was full of excitement. She was not satisfied and did not want to leave.
Wutian laughed. After walking for an entire day, his legs felt weak and sore. However, the little girl was not tired at all. She was very interested and wanted to continue.
"It will hurt your body if you play too late. There will be plenty of time in the future."
He tactfully refused and pulled the little girl to the pass. There was already a sea of people here. There were small tents set up on the ground, densely packed together. The inside of the tents were brightly lit, illuminating this place as if it was daytime.
"Brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
At this moment, a young man quickly walked up to them. He was tall and had an outstanding appearance. There was a slight smile on his face, but it was slightly stiff and unnatural. It was enough to show that this person was usually very serious and reserved.
The person who came was Zhao Kuang. After he returned, he immediately reported the news to his father. As he expected, his father was shocked and ordered him to bring the two back no matter what and settle them down.
Ironstone Town was so big that finding one person was like finding a needle in a haystack. Therefore, he had been waiting here.
"It's you. What's the matter?" After the scene in the morning, Wutian naturally did not have a good expression.
Zhao Kuang cupped his hands and said, "Brother, my name is Zhao Kuang. It's nice to meet you."
"If there's nothing, please don't disturb our rest."
"It seems that little sister's actions in the morning still made you unable to forgive her. Actually, she didn't have any bad intentions. She just saw little sister's flying fox and was momentarily tempted. After she returned, father punished her to face the wall and reflect on her actions. This time, I'm here to sincerely invite you to my house as a guest. "Zhao Kuang explained and told him the purpose of his visit.
He continued, "I know that brothers are mattresses. The earth is your bed and the sky is your blanket. This is a very normal thing. However, little sister is different. The night here is very cold. She is so weak and petite that she might not be able to bear it."
Wutian frowned and looked at Shi Shi. Her body was thin and her arms were wrapped around her body. She was faintly trembling. Afraid that he would be troubled, the little girl smiled at him, indicating that it was fine.
Seeing this, he finally made a decision in his heart. He cupped his hands and said, "If that's the case, then we will impose on you."
"Then follow me. The rooms have already been arranged."
Not long after, the group arrived in front of a mansion. The mahogany door was quite grand. Two lifelike stone lions were placed on both sides of the door. On the door was a plaque with two large golden words, "Zhao Mansion". The strokes were bold and vigorous, like dragons flying and phoenixes flying.
"Brother, this is my humble abode. You will live in the backyard. Follow me."
Walking through the door, Zhao Kuang led the two of them to a lake. The lake water was clear and several pairs of mandarin ducks were playing in the water. Dozens of pavilions surrounded the lake. This place was quiet and elegant. It was a beautiful place.
