Chapter 396 - High Status (2/2)

“Miss Ling, excuse me. My master would like to meet you!” When he saw Ling Chuxi and the rest come out of the restaurant, a middle-aged man dressed as a servant went over to them and spoke pleasantly.

“Your master?” Ling Chuxi looked at the man carefully. She did not have any impression of him yet, but he clearly had a cultivation of Battle Qi Level-9. Such powerful cultivation, yet he was willing to just be a servant. Who exactly was this person he called master?

“Are you from Wu Feng Hall?” The envoy exclaimed when he saw a design on the carriage.

Ling Chuxi had heard people talking about Wu Feng Hall – it was Ding Lin Country’s special place for top notch experts. It held a pivotal status in Ding Lin Country and its position was even higher than the palace imperial guards. If one could enter Ding Lin Country’s Wu Feng Hall, it was the greatest honor for a cultivator. If people from Wu Feng Hall were present, even the members of the royal family of Ding Lin Country would dismount from their horses to greet them respectfully.

“That’s right. My master is Mister Ren from Wu Feng Hall,” the middle-aged man agreed.

“Ren Youran!” The envoy exclaimed again.

“It would be wise if you did not simply say my master’s respected name out loud,” the man said to the envoy with a slight warning in his tone.

“Mister Ren was originally a citizen of Nan Xia Country. I’m not sure which part of Ding Lin Country’s laws I broke by mentioning his respected name,” the envoy said snidely, obviously holding back his anger.

“This is Ding Lin Country. Mister Ren belongs to Ding Lin Country’s Wu Feng Hall now,” the middle-aged man said arrogantly.

“Hmph!” The envoy snorted. His expression darkened but he did not say anything further.

Ren Youran was once an amazing talent of Nan Xia Country. His fame had spread far and wide to the surrounding countries and he had once represented Nan Xia Country in the great a.s.sessment compet.i.tion. That was also the one year in Nan Xia Country’s history that they had the greatest hope of becoming the champion (this year did not count because before the compet.i.tion, practically no one thought that Ling Chuxi and the rest could win; they did not even have much hope of getting a ranking). However, right before the compet.i.tion started, Ren Youran had unexpectedly joined Wu Feng Hall of Ding Lin Country. This caused Nan Xia Country to suffer a crus.h.i.+ng defeat, and they had never really recovered from the setback.
