The Ancient Rare Phoenix: Colourful Flames - Chapter 45
Hou, Lily and Long Anqi were standing in front of a enormous black iron gate, which looked just like a blue fire wolf head. This was the only entrance gate of the small city known as Blue Fire Wolf City.
There were few guards at the entrance, collecting the entry fee. Lily directly threw 10 gold at the guard without looking, and they slowly entered through the gate into the city.
Afterwards, they saw a bustling street with many people moving around, and finally, they felt some excitement and relievement. Since it has been almost a month, they haven’t interact with people other than themselves.
Hou looked around the people before cunningly smiling. Soon his body started to flicker off and in a while the bustling street suddenly came to halt. Some people confusedly glanced around the next person, some kids were even wailing and sobbing, some women started to even beat the next person without saying anything.
After a while, Hou’s body stopped flickering, then contentedly looked at his hands holding a few candies. He passed them all to Long Anqi who delightfully took and ate it.
As for Lily, she just helplessly shook her head before swiftly throwing a gold at each wailing kids.
Soon they found a tavern and entered there to eat.
Meanwhile, an old man in navy blue cloak and a youth around 18 years wearing red cloak were watching at them entered the tavern.
The old man looked at the tavern and excitingly said. ” Interesting kid ”
Then he turned around at the youth and asked.
” Little Chen, Did you see that kid movement skill? ”
The youth just looked ahead without replying so the old man just sighed. Afterward they too entered the tavern.
Hou, Lily and Long Anqi were sitting and waiting for the food at the corner of the 2nd floor in the tavern.
The old man and the youth both entered the 2nd floor, before glancing around and directly sitting at their table.
Hou merely looked at them before turning his head toward Lily, but only to see Lily staying vigilant toward the old man.
He was slightly startled and closely observed the old man and rudely asked.
” Old geezer, what the heck do you want? ”
The old man stared him like he was some kind of a gem then spoke.
” I am Bai Li, one of the strongest elder of Five Dragon Sect. I saw your movement skill which was very unique and your cultivation is also good. So kid, do you want to become my disciple? ”
Hou was surprised by his words and curiously asked.
” Is the Five Dragon Sect the strongest Sect in the Ice empire? ”
Hearing that, Bai Li became embarrassed then awkwardly said.
” Though our Sect isn’t the strongest Sect in the whole Empire but it is enough to let us roam around the Empire freely. As long as you accept me as your master, you’ll get enough cultivation resources and reach the peak of your potential. What do you think? ”
Instead Hou just lost any interest he had and indifferently said.
” What’s the point of me becoming your disciple when your sect isn’t even the strongest Sect? As for roaming around the Empire and the cultivation resources, I don’t need any. ”
Then he started to eat his food, totally ignoring them.
Bai Li just stared at him before slyly looking at Lily then hoarsely said.
” Since you do not want to become my disciple then I’ll teach a small lesson for mocking me. ”
He stood up and slowly released his aura toward Hou and Lily then said.
” Little girl, give me your sword, or you all won’t be able to leave from this place. ”
However Hou and Lily weren’t affect by his aura at all, instead, Hou was just looking at him like a fool. Though Lily was slightly feeling anxious and started to think for any escape route.
Hou turned around his head and assured her.
” Lily, its ok, just give him the sword. ”
Lily reluctantly placed the sword on the table while Bai Li was startled by their reaction and then thought they just feared him.
Just as Bai Li was going to take the sword, he heard Hou asking Lily in a low voice.
” Lily, Do you think this geezer will die painlessly once your father know he robbed your sword from you? ”
Bai Li halt his hand from picking the sword and intensely stared at Lily before suspiciously asked.
” Who is your father? ”
Lily oddly glanced at Hou then just saw him slyly smiling after that she hesitantly said.
” Wong Shi from Rain Forest Academy ”
Bai Li froze and stared with his eyes wide open. Finally he knew why he was mocking at him and didn’t even bother with his offers. Wong Shi was the one of the strongest person in the entire Empire. If he also had a background like them, then even he would disdain hearing his offers. No wonder he was willing to easily give up the sword.
Without saying anything, Bai Li hastily turned around and started to exit.
However Hou just loudly shouted at him.
” Old geezer, If you’re going rob someone, you better know the consequences when you fail. Get back here before we call Wong Shi here. ”
Bai Li speedily returned back to his spot and anxiously looked at him. Inwardly, he was cursing himself for rashly acting without fully knowing them. He forcibly smiled at Hou and said.
” Young master, Do you need me to do something for you? ”
Hou amusingly watched him and slyly said.
” Leave your Thought Exchange talisman here and I’ll call you when you are needed. ”
Bai Li unwillingly took out a talisman and placed it on the table before quickly escaping with his disciple, Chen.
After Bai Li and his disciple Chen exited the tavern, suddenly his disciple Chen said.
” So master words are always right, Greed is the one of most reason for downfall of the cultivator. ”
Hearing that, Bai Li sighed in distress.
Hou started to laugh, then turned his face to see Lily who was weirdly looking at him, while Long Anqi was just eating her food without any care.
