Chapter 454 - Entering a town (2) (1/2)

Chapter 447

/*unedited*/

A bustling town lies before his eyes as Shin Jiao enters after lining up and getting checked by the guards at the gate. Merchants selling their wares and their patrons are all over the place. He can tell that the town is prosperous and peaceful for some reason. Unlike those towns he has been before, this big Yungaw town is actually not too bad.

Shin Jiao follows Wen Mo Yang as the two walk down the busy road. Every now and then a carriage would pass by with those noble families inside that would take a peek from time to time to see what is being sold on the streets.

The happy and busy atmosphere can make one feel that Yungaw town is an amazing town lead by someone who knows how to keep the peace.

Wen Mo Yang has introduced to Shin Jiao about the town and he found it really fascinating. It is an old town, with hundreds of years of history. The town is divided into 2 parts, the settlement for the mortals which is at the West, and the settlement for the cultivators which is on the east of the town. In the middle of it are a wall and the huge town hall where the officials of the town work.

The two arrive at a modest size courtyard with gray tiled rooftop. The house at the end of the courtyard has two floors and Shin Jiao can see many people inside busily doing their chores.

Wen Mo Yang approaches the door and knocks on it.

A middle-aged man opens the door slightly and peeks out. When he saw who is knocking at the door, his eyes suddenly lit up.

”Young… young miss… Young miss you are back! Oh my! You've grown more beautiful, it's been a long time.” The man said as he opens the door and held Wen Mo Yang's soft hands.

However, he pauses upon seeing a handsome young man standing behind Wen Mo Yang. But the middle-aged man regained his composure and led the two inside the courtyard.

”The master and mistresses are inside… please.” The man said as he walks in front.

”The young mistress is back! The young mistress is back!” a shout coming from the courtyard echoed through the air.

This shout gained the attention of everyone who is busy with their jobs. Then a happy expression appears on their faces as they ran towards the outer courtyard.

When they saw Wen Mo Yan, they showed happy faces. But everyone is smiling.

Shin Jiao can see some people frowning and sneering at the sight of Wen Mo Yang. Though he didn't know why these people are showing such expression he didn't care. He is in this place to find his way to the kingdom of Yi.

From his talk with Wen Mo Yang, he found out that in the city where she is studying, there is a teleportation portal to the main city of Si kingdom. He didn't know how far he can travel using the main teleportation portal, but he needs to try.

”My youngest daughter, you're back!” cried out a man in his 40's.

The man is wearing a simple gray robe and his face has a long gray beard. Following behind him are three women who look like in their 30's. Shin Jiao can see that they are cultivators but their cultivation is only at the spirit refining realm.

In fact, everyone in this courtyard is a cultivator. But their cultivation level is low that it is negligible for him to pay attention to.

So he just stood behind Wen Mo Yan as the later suddenly ran towards her father and gave him a warm hug. He can feel that the relationship between the young woman and her father is very close. But he can also feel a sense of animosity from two of the women following behind the man.

One of them is showing a sneer on her face. She suddenly gazes at Shin Jiao and her eyes lit up.

Seeing that Shin Jiao has no spiritual undulation, she scowled deep in her heart and wanted to take this opportunity to slight Wen Mo Yang.

”Oh, my… what do we have here? Wen Mo Yang, you came to study in a big city but instead of studying you brought a man.” The woman said with a gentle smile.

”Oh, isn't he just a mortal?” she then added.

When Wen Mo Yang heard this, sweat suddenly forms in her brow. She wanted to slap the face of this stupid concubine of her father. She didn't know if Shin Jiao would be offended by those words, because if he is, then she can only pray that her family would be spared.

”Master Jiao, please forgive my concubine mother… she is just a foolish woman.” She said while cupping her hand towards Shin Jiao.
