The Night King: The Asura
Ch-05a. Who Is He Actually?
In Mr. Li's special room.
"Master, these are both your items and thank you for bidding at such a high price" said Mr. Li as he handed over both of Lin Feng's possessions.
It was true, the price offered by Lin Feng for both items was indeed very high, indeed, even Mr. Li never expected that the chunk of meteor rock he found would sell for a thousand platinum coins, then for that pair of Beast eggs, he said, he didn't even know how large the value of the five crystals Lin Feng had to offer.
"No need to hesitate, after all I do want those two items, so I have no problem with the price" said Lin Feng, then put the two items he got into his storage ring.
"Sir, I'm sorry if I'm presumptuous, where are your next destinations?" ask Mr. Li.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but for the next few days I will stay in this inn of yours" replied Lin Feng.
Master Li smiled happily when he heard Lin Feng's words, the reason was, he didn't expect that Lin Feng was actually a guest at his inn. At first, Mr. Li had thought that Lin Feng had only come to attend the auction, so there was no way he would have a chance to be on good terms with him, but now, it was impossible, his intention could have happened.
"Master, if you are willing, you can stay at my place only, that way, you don't have to think about the cost of lodging anymore" said Mr. Li.
Lin Feng could instantly grasp the hidden intent of Mr. Li's offer, but he didn't intend to reject it at all, as he also needed Mr. Li's help, "Alright, I will accept your offer" said Lin Feng.
"Thank God, then let's go to my house, sir" Mr. Li asked.
"My name is Lin Feng."
After the short conversation ended, Lin Feng then followed Mr. Li towards his home located on the edge of the imperial city, but along the way to get there, Lin Feng could sense there were some people watching them.
"Young Master, it seems like someone is watching us" said Mr. Li who was also aware of the whereabouts of those people.
"Just ignore it" said Lin Feng.
At Mr. Li's house.
"Young Master, please, this is an herbal tea that contains many properties, especially to increase stamina" said Mr. Li.
"Thank you" replied Lin Feng.
While enjoying a warm cup of tea, Mr. Li told Lin Feng a few things about himself, he also told him about his journey during this time, including the story of how he started his business at the auction, and from the story, Lin Feng could deduce that Mr. Li was the one who had explored this entire Xuanwu Land.
"It seems like my decision to go with him was not wrong" Lin Feng said in his heart.
"Master Li, what about the second prince? You already offended him and I'm sure he won't just shut up" said Lin Feng.
"Hah" Master Li let out a long sigh, "I know that, if it is still possible I will remain in this imperial city, otherwise, I will go and move to another city" answer Mr. Li.
"Master Li, I have an interesting offer for you" said Lin Feng.
"What will Young Master offer me?" ask Mr. Li.
"Just in person, if you want to help me, then I will guarantee your safety, it is not even impossible for me to make you emperor in this city" Lin Feng replied.
What Lin Feng said was indeed true, and it was very easy for him to make Master Li the emperor of this Wu Country. But, the purpose of saying that was not to show his strength, but just to want Mr. Li to believe that he was indeed able to maintain his safety.
Master Li seemed shocked to hear Lin Feng's words, although he wasn't entirely sure of what Lin Feng had said just now, but at least he could establish a good relationship with the young man. After all, his goal from the beginning was to establish a good relationship with the mysterious young man in front of him.
"Young Master, I don't want to be emperor, but if Young Master can really guarantee my safety, then I will do whatever I can to help Young Master" said Mr. Li.
"Alright, then I'll start by eliminating the stalkers around this place" said Lin Feng, then a black shadow seemed to be darting out from within Lin Feng's body.
Out of curiosity, Mr. Li then circulated his soul force to find out what was going on, and right then and there, he was completely shocked when he saw that there were others similar to Lin Feng were finishing off the people watching them, and what was even more surprising was, that was, that figure that was similar to Lin Feng was truly extremely ruthless.
"Th-this..." Mr. Li did not know what to say, he was completely confused by the situation that was going on at the moment.
"What's the matter, Mr Li? Why do you look so confused?" asked Lin Feng.
"He is my shadow, his strength is only one level below me, so Mr. Li doesn't have to worry about him."
Master Li was indeed not worried about that figure that was so similar to Lin Feng, but he was actually shocked when he heard what Lin Feng said, if his shadow alone was able to kill a stage seven Yin and Yang realm cultivator so easily, then what about Lin Feng himself? Doesn't that mean Lin Feng could have killed him with one finger?
"Who is this young man? Why would I tremble just from hearing her words just now?"
A while later, a figure similar to Lin Feng suddenly appeared near the two of them, and again, the appearance of the figure managed to make Master Li shocked for the umpteenth time, the article, said, Master Li had just seen that figure come out of Lin Feng's body less than a minute ago, and now, he had appeared again near them.
"Master, those people have already been successfully obliterated" said Lin Feng's shadow.
Lin Feng nodded slowly, "Good! You can go back now" said Lin Feng, then his shadow entered back into his body.
"Young Master, who are you really?" Master Li ventured to ask Lin Feng's identity.
"Just like you, I'm just an ordinary human being who doesn't like to be bullied" replied Lin Feng.
"If you're just a human being, then what am I?" mumbled Mr. Li in his heart.
***
The next day, somewhere in the imperial city.
"Have you heard from them?" ask the second prince.
"Excuse me, your majesty, but there is bad news that I want to convey" replied his bodyguard.
"What's that?"
"Ten of the best guards we sent to watch over them are both dead, and I don't know who killed them."
"What's? I-this is very impossible, they are all Yin and Yang realm seventh stage cultivators, how could they die all of them?" the second prince seemed to still find it hard to believe the news delivered by his bodyguards.
"The servant also does not understand the noble, but that is the reality."
"Cihh, I'm sure there is someone very strong who helped them, otherwise there is no way they could just die" said the second prince and he was very confident in his thoughts.
"Then, what should we do, your majesty?"
"There is no other way, we can only ask my father for help" the second prince replied, then he invited his bodyguards to return to the imperial palace.
Upon his arrival at the palace, the second prince immediately told his father what he was going through right now, and of course, what he was going through, he exaggerated the story and made it seem as if Master Li and Lin Feng were the ones at fault, even saying that Lin Feng and Master Li had threatened him.
"What did you tell me that really happened? Or all those stories are just your wits so that dad helps you overcome the problems you've created" said the first prince.
"Sister, what do you mean?"
"I didn't mean anything, but as far as I'm concerned, you've always been causing trouble for me, even you've been so daring to offend people who shouldn't be offended!"
"Wu Nan, don't be like that, she is your sister and it is your duty to protect her" the emperor said.
"Dad, she is indeed my sister but her arbitrary and always problematic attitude really pisses me off."
"Here you go, I'll help you, but before that, I want to know who you've offended"
"Dad, I didn't offend anyone, they were the ones who offended me!" the second prince.
"Well, then take me to the place where the person who offended you is."
