Chapter 496 - A Scholar From The Upper Realm (1/2)

“Woof!”

Big Yellow, which was lying behind the door, barked without any hesitation. Its voice was filled with threat and discontent.

Feng Yiyuan furrowed his eyebrows. Although he was afraid, he cast aside his worries when he thought about how fearsome the scholar behind him was.

Perhaps he would offend Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk—two frightening spirit beasts—if he offended Ou Yangming, and he would most likely die a graveless death. Nonetheless, if the great ancestor flinched at this moment, he would probably be killed by the scholar in the blink of an eye.

He did not know what the peculiar plant was, but the extent the scholar valued it was nothing like he had ever seen.

Feng Yiyuan sighed and asked loudly, “I’m Feng Yiyuan, and I’m requesting a visit. Is Master Ou here?”

Ni Yinghong and Jiang Jiumei had been alerted by Feng Yiyuan and the others long ago. They looked at each other and walked out.

Big Yellow wagged its tail and approached them out of habit as soon as it saw them. Putting aside Jiang Jiumei, it had an unordinary relations.h.i.+p with Ni Yinghong, so much so that Ou Yangming was lacking in some aspects.

The two ladies glanced at Ou Yangming’s but noticed that there were no movements inside. Nevertheless, they did not find it strange because the young fellow had been entering a strange realm from time to time throughout their journey. They could not understand it, but they knew he must not be disturbed.

Ni Yinghong and Jiang Jiumei exchanged glances again before the former went to open the door.

Feng Yiyuan flashed a smile at them and looked at them with bright eyes. “Miss Ni, please forgive me for disturbing you so late at night.”

“Senior Feng, you’re being too polite.” Ni Yinghong nodded. She replied to the great ancestor with kind words but did not step aside, which was clear that she did not intend on letting him in.

The great ancestor’s smile froze a little, and he was secretly furious. ‘This little girl doesn’t know how to appreciate favors at all. I’ve personally come, but she won’t let me enter at all. If my daughter did the same, I would lecture her for sure.’

“Hmph!”

All of a sudden, a scoff was heard coming from behind Feng Yiyuan, causing him to cast aside his displeasure and anger.

He curbed his thought and asked sternly, “Miss Ni, is Master Ou here?”

“Senior Feng, Lil’ Ming is cultivating in his room, so he mustn’t be disturbed now. Please excuse him.” Ni Yinghong smiled apologetically.

“Cultivating?” Feng Yiyuan was stunned, and he had a strange look on his face.

He thought about numerous reasons when Ni Yinghong opened the door but Ou Yangming was nowhere to be seen. Even so, he did not expect this reason at all.

‘What time is it? Where is he at? The Aquatics’ spirit beast will attack at any time, but he can still cultivate in isolation and not care about what’s going on outside… Will anyone even buy this excuse?’

Seeing as Feng Yiyuan’s expression was changing, Ni Yinghong sighed.

In actuality, she knew her reason sounded unreliable, but it was indeed the truth. It did not matter if people believed it or not because she would not care at all.

Feng Yiyuan took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress his anger. “Miss Ni, I suggest you ask Master Ou to come out soon. Sir has personally visited, and he’d like to meet him.”

Ni Yinghong was startled, and she had a grave look on her face.

She figured that there was only one person in the entire Canghai City that Feng Yiyuan would regard as a sir.

The young lady turned to look faintly at a certain room. Ou Yangming would definitely show up if he heard Feng Yiyuan, but there were still no movements from the room.

Feeling helpless, Ni Yinghong said, “Senior Feng, Lil’ Ming really can’t be here right now, so please excuse him.”

Feng Yiyuan and Xiao Hualing looked at each other and almost could not believe what they heard. They had revealed the visitor’s ident.i.ty but were refused entry. This had not only caused them to be embarra.s.sed, but the powerhouse behind them probably could not take it anymore too.

Sure enough, a furious voice was heard.

“How presumptuous!”

Before the voice died away, a wind was stirred up, and it gushed between the two men.

Feng Yiyuan and Xiao Hualing flashed away to evade the wind. They knew the scholar was already infuriated and was going to enter the courtyard through the hardest means. Given his power, he would not care to bully juniors, but he would also not hesitate to let them suffer a bit if they were ignorant and blocked his way.

Despite that, Feng Yiyuan and Xiao Hualing soon saw that Ni Yinghong and the other lady stood side by side and were not going to give way even when the scholar strode forward.

‘They’re being reckless!’
