Chapter 139: Overrun (2/2)
Just as Xu Min was about to go up the stairs to his, room a young lady entered into the inn. Her eyes scanned across the floor. When they landed on Xu Min first a brief shock appeared which was quickly replaced by pleasure.
It looked as if she had just seen an old friend again, but Xu Min was certain that he had never met her before.
“Esteemed expert!” she called out with a melodious voice that flowed like a gentle river which soothed the minds of those who heard it. “I am surely lucky to meet with the esteemed expert this soon,” she continued as she moved closer to Xu Min who had stood up and was frowning.
“Do I know you?” Xu Min asked while Cao Cao and Ye Ling took a closer look at the woman
“Hey she is pretty good looking,” Ye Ling said with a toothy smile as he stared at the woman with interest.
Being stared at by such a ferocious looking beast, the woman could not help but shiver slightly. Nonetheless, she quickly got a hold of herself and cleared her throat.
“We have not had the pleasure of meeting before,” She said while shaking her head apologetically.
In accordance with the lion, she was indeed good looking. Known as the fairy of the city, every young master would jump at her very call. This was the very reason that her father had sent her to deal with this young man; however, when she arrived in front of him, he did not even give her a proper glance. It was clear that he did not her attractive.
“And what do you want from me?” Xu Min asked impatiently. He was clearly eager to leave and go to the room that was being prepared for him.
“Can I have a talk with you, just the two of us?” she asked politely. She was not at all fazed by his rude behavior. Xu Min looked around them and noticed that the entire restaurant was silent;everyone was looking at them. When his eyes glanced across the entire room, no one dared to meet his eyes.
Sighing heavily, Xu Min could guess what the woman was here for. He was not willing to waste any time, so he just looked her straight in the eyes, not even bothering to check out her body, “I am only in this city temporarily,” he said straight forwardly, “I will be here for a few days. Then I will leave to some other place. I have no interest in staying here longer than what is necessary; I have things which I must attend to.”
Having said this, Xu Min turned back to the staircase and started walking up. He did not care at all for this girl he left behind at the bottom.
“How domineering!” This was the sentence mostly said afterward by everyone within the entire restaurant. The young man who did not even seem to be twenty years of age was so strong that even this girl who was famed for her talent in the city was incapable of seeing through it. She could not even see through the strength of his beast companions!
Feeling wronged and embarrassed, the young girl’s face alternated between red and pale until she finally came to her senses again. Humbly she turned to leave. She was not going to stay in this inn and cause even more to chat about her; instead, she moved straight back to her father’s mansion to hand over the message she had been given.
“Will I become as strong and imposing one day?” the girl asked herself as she reached the mansion, but she could only shake her head. She was incapable of even telling how strong he was, how would she be able to tell if she could reach his rank?
Xu Min gave not even a second thought about the girl. When he started moving up the stairs, but just as he reached the room, he was stopped once more.
“Young expert, I am Feng Ling, the young master of the Feng Family, I have heard that an expert unlike any had reached the city and was wondering…”
This time the man didn’t even get to finish his sentence before Xu Min glared at him with a sharp glance. The young master stepped backward in fear. The sharp gaze was so penetrating that he felt as if Xu Min saw his innermost thoughts.
“I am only stopping by for a moment,” Xu Min said with a flat and annoyed voice, “I will not be here for long, so do not bother with trying to curry favor with me.”
Without saying any more, Xu Min entered the room and shut the door behind him, right in the face of this Feng Ling.
Feng Ling was renowned within the city as an arrogant young master who would do anything in his power to get what he wanted. He was someone who wanted respect more than anything else.
This young master was not insulted by Xu Min’s actions if anything he felt relieved. Whenever Xu Min was looking at him, he had a feeling that he was speaking to a wild beast which could kill him at any moment.
Feeling as if he had just escaped death, Feng Ling left the inn with shaking legs. Nevertheless, he was not the only person who arrived. One after another showed up at the inn and went to the room in which Xu Min was located. There were so many that Xu Min eventually was forced to talk to the innkeeper and have him leave the message that he would be here only for a few days.
