Chapter 819 - Uncommon (1/2)
After they finished their meal, Xiao Luo, Ghost, and Duck Emperor immediately headed toward the venue where the God Weapon Conference was being held.
It was at the heart of Tawara City, and there was a very spacious square. Massive crowds of people gathered at that square. Most of them were martial artists who visited upon hearing news of the conference. In the center of the venue, stood what looked rather like an altar. There, dwarven elders were seated while others stood and watched from a distance.
Many came to the conference with one thing in mind—to see if they had any chance to own a God Weapon forged by the excellent dwarven craftsmen.
Xiao Luo was not interested in the God Weapon Conference, unlike Ghost and Duck Emperor. Not wanting to dampen their spirits, he decided to stay for an hour or two. It would give them sufficient time to feast their eyes on some of these weapons. And if there were any suitable for them, he would willingly spend some money to purchase them for his friends.
To his dismay, he discovered that the young man named Chen Feng was not far away from them. To make things even more awkward, Chen Feng noticed him and walked over.
“Brother! We meet again!” Chen Feng had a smile on his face—it looked more like a smirk.
A woman accompanying Chen Feng mocked, “I remember him saying that he was not here for the God Weapon Conference. I wonder what is going on.”
“Senior Brother Chen, I think they are safeguarding against us. Since it is the case, why should we stick our faces on their cold buttocks?” another guy said, looking a little displeased.
Chen Feng brushed it off with a smile and said, “It is not wrong to be cautious when one goes out. So, it is not surprising that they are wary of us. You guys should stop deriding them.”
He was the head of the group. Naturally, they gave in to him and stopped mocking Xiao Luo.
“My apologies, Brother. They bear no ill intentions,” said Chen Feng to Xiao Luo.
“You do not have to apologize to me. We merely encountered by chance. I do not consider us acquaintances, let alone friends. I can go wherever I please without your consent, I believe?” Xiao Luo replied indifferently. He wanted to disassociate himself from this group of people.
Xiao Luo’s mocking words were akin to a slap on the faces of the guy and girl who had made those rude remarks. Indeed, who did they think they were to make such thoughtless comments?
“You…”
The girl stared at Xiao Luo indignantly and gritted her teeth. She could not contain her rage and uttered, “Arrogant fool!”
As soon as Ghost heard her, her temper shot up. Her apricot-shaped eyes opened wide as she exclaimed, “You cannot scold Xiao Luo. Apologize to him right now!”
Ghost’s outburst startled the girl who recovered quickly and sneered, “Yo, little girl, you have quite a temper for someone who does not even know how to cycle their True Inner Force. What is your issue here? Do you think what I said has insulted your lover?”
“Letting a woman stand up for you. What a man you are, my brother!” continued the guy who had ridiculed Xiao Luo earlier on.
Unable to tolerate any more of the nonsense, Ghost hurled her feet into the guy’s abdomen without a word.
POW!
The muffled thud of the heavy blow echoed as the guy doubled over and blasted backward like a cannonball. A few innocent visitors waiting anxiously to see the God Weapons were knocked to the ground when the guy crashed into them.
What happened?
Chen Feng and his group stood there looking dumbfounded. They drew in deep breaths as they watched their companion sail across the air after he got kicked.
“Apologize to Xiao Luo right now! Or I will send you flying in the air too!” Ghost shouted and stared at the girl.
The girl shuddered but quickly gathered her courage and cursed indignantly, “You d*mn b*tch, learn your place!”
