Chapter 1220 1220: Thousand Dragon City on the Mountain Range
Lin Fei humbly said to Qiu Qiming, "Young Master Qiu flatters me."
Regarding Huang Shutong's hostility towards him, Lin Fei felt that this Huang Shutong was either relying on being a young master of a prominent family in Ten Thousand Swords City or possibly had something to do with the Yue family, which is why he was arrogant and hostile.
However, Lin Fei's principle was that as long as Huang Shutong did not cross his bottom line, he would not take any action against him.
Lin Fei, Qiu Qiming, Huang Shutong, and Jin Zongfan, the three envoys, all stood in the courtyard waiting for the second young master of the Wan family to come out.
After waiting for quite a while, Qiu Qiming even stretched several times and yawned several times, finally, the tightly closed door of the attic opened with a creak.
Lin Fei and the others looked over and saw Wan Jingxuan, dressed in a purple robe, walking out of the attic.
Although his name was Jingxuan, Lin Fei found that this second young master of the Wan family did not possess the imposing presence that his name suggested.
At first glance, he seemed rather ordinary in appearance, with a sinister look between his brows, clearly not a gentleman of good character.
However, being the son of a City Lord, which of them wouldn't have some tricks up their sleeve?
This was quite normal.
Lin Fei, along with the envoys, cupped his fists and said to Wan Jingxuan, "Greetings, Second Young Master."
Wan Jingxuan merely nodded slightly and then swept his gaze over the faces of Lin Fei, Huang Shutong, and Qiu Qiming.
His gaze especially lingered on Huang Shutong's face, and the corners of his lips curled into a smile, "Huang Shutong, I didn't expect my father to designate you to go to Thousand Dragon City with me on official business; it seems we must cooperate well."
"Wan Jingxuan, don't be so pleased with yourself! If it weren't for the City Lord's favor, I wouldn't want to go on a business trip with you no matter what," Huang Shutong said, displeased.
Wan Jingxuan, however, pretended to be curious and asked, "Why, did I do something to offend Brother Huang that displeases you?"
Thinking of how the woman he loved, Yue Yuyao, was disgraced by Wan Jingxuan, Huang Shutong's heart burned with anger, and he wished he could kill Wan Jingxuan.
This was the reason Huang Shutong outwardly displayed his displeasure towards Wan Jingxuan.
However, he was not so blinded by anger. After all, Wan Jingxuan's father was the City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City.
If he rashly engaged in a violent altercation with Wan Jingxuan, it would only bring trouble to his own family.
Huang Shutong let out a cold snort, ignoring Wan Jingxuan.
Wan Jingxuan then turned his gaze to Lin Fei and said, "So you must be the Young Master Lin who has recently risen to fame, replacing the Yue family?"
"Second Young Master overpraised," Lin Fei cupped his fists promptly and said.
Wan Jingxuan smiled and said, "So young and yet so accomplished, having become one of the top ten families in Ten Thousand Swords City; such an event hasn't been seen in a hundred years. Young Master Lin, your future is limitless."
Lin Fei continued to humbly say, "Second Young Master, how dare I boast of my abilities in front of you? I cannot compare to Second Young Master. My rise to the top ten families was merely a stroke of luck."
Wan Jingxuan looked at Lin Fei, as if trying to see through his mind, but he found he couldn't see through Lin Fei at all.
On the surface, Lin Fei seemed quite ordinary, yet Wan Jingxuan felt that such an ordinary Lin Fei had an unfathomable aura.
He doesn't show his abilities openly.
This made Wan Jingxuan ponder secretly in his heart, this Lin Fei is the one who killed five heads of the Yue family. His strength is remarkable, yet he conceals it deeply in front of me.
And Lin Fei is younger than him; such a young age, yet reaching a peak that many cultivators find difficult to attain, rising to become one of the top ten families in Ten Thousand Swords City.
Not to mention that Yue Yuyao wants him to deal with Lin Fei, even if she didn't approach him, with Lin Fei's formidable strength, he wouldn't just stand by and do nothing.
Because Lin Fei's strength is too powerful, it could pose a threat to the Wan family City Lord's position in the future and even threaten Wan Jingxuan's position.
"Young Master Lin is the most humble person I've met. Ten Thousand Swords City having such a genius master as Young Master Lin is truly an honor for our city. I hope to be friends with Young Master Lin in the future." Though Wan Jingxuan was wary of Lin Fei, his face showed a happy smile, and he extended his hand to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei naturally knew that Wan Jingxuan's words about being friends might not be from the heart, but he still followed the etiquette and shook hands with Wan Jingxuan, saying, "As long as Second Young Master doesn't mind, I would certainly be willing to be friends with the Second Young Master."
"Hahaha, that's wonderful!" Wan Jingxuan portrayed the appearance of making a good friend and laughed happily.
Meanwhile, Huang Shutong looked on coldly, thinking to himself: they are of the same ilk!
However, Qiu Qiming was different, he seemed very eager to befriend Lin Fei, showing a smile and saying, "Young Master Lin, could I possibly become friends with you?"
Actually, Lin Fei had a good impression of Qiu Qiming. This handsome young man, fair and clean, had a smile on his face, looking like someone easy to get along with.
Moreover, Lin Fei felt that Qiu Qiming bore no hostility towards him, unlike Huang Shutong who was cold and hostile, or Wan Jingxuan, who pretended to be friendly, but whose words were more perfunctory rather than sincere.
Lin Fei showed a smile on his face and said to Qiu Qiming, "Of course, we will be friends from now on."
Qiu Qiming immediately extended his hand, shaking hands with Lin Fei, marking the moment they became friends.
"Second Young Master, it's getting late; we should head to Thousand Dragon City now." At this time, an envoy looked at the sun gradually moving towards the center of the sky and said to Wan Jingxuan.
Wan Jingxuan nodded: "Mm, let's set off now."
The group then took off from the manor's courtyard and flew into the sky.
Thousand Dragon City, one of the top ten main cities of the Holy Dragon Continent, its region is more expansive than Ten Thousand Swords City, spanning tens of thousands of miles, with millions of cultivators.
The main city, Thousand Dragon City, is located in the center of this vast territory; it is a cultivation city distinct from Ten Thousand Swords City.
Because Thousand Dragon City is built on a mountain, or more accurately, on a mountain range.
The mountain range is the largest in the territory of Thousand Dragon City, stretching a thousand miles, and the main city is built on this mountain range, with high-rise buildings and ancient-style palace pavilions stretching over dozens of miles, spread across the mountains, beautifully spectacular and a rarity to behold.
Of course, even though the main city of Thousand Dragon City is built on a mountain, it poses no inconvenience to cultivators who come and go freely, flying as they please.
Light mist formed by spiritual energy floated past the high-rise buildings in Thousand Dragon City, and beneath the mountain where the city stands passed a surging great river.
This river is the largest within the territory of Thousand Dragon City and is named Qianlong River.
As night fell, the mountain's Thousand Dragon City, with its towering buildings, lit up with bright lights.
Lin Fei, Qiu Qiming, Huang Shutong, and others settled in an expansive, ancient-style manor belonging to the Wan family in Thousand Dragon City.
Within the manor, there were guards and cultivators as well as servants, indicating this place was a common stay for Wan family members while conducting business in Thousand Dragon City.
Lin Fei, Qiu Qiming, and Huang Shutong, were arranged by the manor's steward to stay in different courtyards within the manor.
