128 Chapter 128 (1/2)

The man with the gem in his forehead looked to be in his twenties, but in reality, he was already fifty years old. He was quite the famous young master from the Dark Palm sect. He looked quite handsome and was adored by everyone, or at least that's how it looked on the outside.

”Thanks for letting me tag along with you, Elder Ming.”

The man bowed with his hands clasped, the Dark Palm sect elder was on a little errand here and this young master had used this opportunity to join him on his journey.

”It's nothing really, didn't think you'd find this place that interesting little Kai, I'm just here for the items at the auction.”

The old man sat back and sipped some green tea, the tea leaves being the highest quality that this city could offer, the water and tableware being the same.

”Hm, the tea is satisfactory at least...”

The young man straightened up and looked outside the window, his eyes narrowing.

”Ah yes the auction, to be exact I wanted my disciple to participate in that little festival those little clans are having.”

”Oh? The Dao Festival?”

The sect elder's brow moved upwards slightly, but almost immediately went down.

”Well, I won't pester you for details, but if your disciple is taking part then be sure not to sully the sects name, he has to win.”

The man waved with his hand at his junior member, even though this was the son of the Patriarch this elder outranked him by quite a bit, his cultivation level was something that made him a king among men already.

”Well then, Elder Ming rest well, I'll see you tomorrow.”

The Dark Palm member named Kai exited the room that this elder of his was staying, he knew when this Elder Ming didn't want him around so he had enough tack to back of, on his own. He was stationed a flor below, which was still quite the expensive-looking apartment.

This man's full name was Yang Kai. He returned to his quarters, the view at the city was grand but the man in question wasn't really impressed by it.

”Mmm, give me your report...”

There was another man in that room, Yang Kai was sitting on an expensive couch, his legs spread apart in a nonchalant way. The man opposite him was a rough-looking gentleman in a less expensive Dark Palm sect robe.

”Yes young master, the 'target' arrived not long ago, they are staying at this grand dragon hotel on the fortieth floor.”

Yang Kai licked his lips slightly after he heard that the person that he was here for was already in this hotel with him. He had to stop himself from just going directly there, that would just make him look bad and he would lose face, it was not yet time to strike.

”Good... good... now I just have to wait for this festival to start and then...”

The bodyguard was silent, his eyebrows quivering after seeing quite the devilish expression on his face.

”Ahh... tell my disciple to prepare, he is not allowed to lose or he will be severely punished! But not like any of those backwater clans can hold a handle to him.”

”Now, leave.”

He waved with his hand at the guard while smirking to himself. The moment the man left Yang Kai stood up, his gaze moving over to his spatial ring. He pulled out a thin scarf, it had a cherry blossom pattern sewn into it. He placed it soon up towards his nose and inhaled with vigor, his eyes closed but his eyelids quivered back and forth during the inhaling.

”You got away once and I thought that I lost you... but now here you are... If I wasn't stuck cultivating at the sect I would have come sooner, but that's fine...he he he...”

The man licked his lips in a gross fashion, the scarf he was holding looked a bit scuffed up.

”Soon you will be mine, this time I won't let you run away... even if I have to...”

The man didn't finish the sentence and moved the scarf back into his spatial ring, his head shaking.

”Oh my, I'm getting too excited here...

Yang Kai sat down to meditate, the chaotic thoughts in his mind calming down while the night ended.

At dawn you could hear people walking, all the shops were opening up and the day was starting. The Dao Festival wasn't only for the clan's but a lot of people saw it as a chance to make some coin or spirit stones. There was a big marketplace, with various cultivation materials and trinkets gathered in one place.
