655 Conflic (2/2)
He stared at Xiao Ya, with something swirling in his eyes. He sensed a black mist shrouding Xiao Ya.
”There seems to be something odd about this girl…” The Heavenly Spring Saint Son stuck his hand out to catch Xiao Ya upon saying the sentence.
When Xiao Yue saw that, his heart trembled and his sword he had at his back swung to his hand. The luster of the sword gyrated like a dragon and slashed toward the Heavenly Spring Saint Son.
”Stop it,” said Xiao Yue huskily.
Buzz.
Xiao Yue was almost immediately blocked by the two maids behind the Heavenly Spring Saint Son. They held slender swords, and their agitated energy rushed toward Xiao Yue, blocking his body. The Heavenly Spring Saint Son did not stop, but continued to capture the little girl with his palm.
Slap. A fair and slender hand caught hold of the hand of the saint. The saint froze and saw an equally impassive face when he looked up gradually. That was a familiar face.
”How dare you disrupt the Heavenly Spring Saint Son? Who do you think you are?” said the Heavenly Spring Saint Son.
Bu Fang looked sideways at the Heavenly Spring Saint Son, and with his remaining hand, he tapped on Xiao Ya's head, enabling her to hide behind his back.
”You bully a child and dare call yourself a Saint?” said Bu Fang.
Bu Fang's hand was abruptly flung off the Heavenly Spring Saint Son's hand. The saint squinted his eyes at Bu Fang.
”You are courageous… But you are in no position qualified to speak to me in that manner.”
The Heavenly Spring Saint Son put his hands behind him and looked sidelong at Bu Fang, then twitched his lip and strolled into the restaurant, ignoring Bu Fang.
Bu Fang watched the Heavenly Spring Saint Son enter the restaurant with an apathetic glance. His face was devoid of emotion. He tapped Xiao Ya's head and gave a light breath.
Ouyang Chenfeng came over, frowning as he said sternly to Bu Fang, ”Leave, little friend. You are putting yourself in a precarious position by provoking the Heavenly Spring Saint Son. Or you could stay put in this noodle shop. As arrogant as he is, he would not kill someone right before my eyes.”
The Heavenly Spring Saint Son was notorious for being a vengeful man, sparing no one who had offended him. The three maids under him had powerful cultivation levels, akin to the three sabres in the saint's hands, ruthless and cruel, killing in great numbers. Xiao Yue was badgered by two of them.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”It is not necessary.” Bu Fang slanted his gaze at the Heavenly Spring Saint Son, who had by then found a seat. Bu Fang held on to Xiao Ya's hand and turned around to leave the noodle shop.
Could Ouyang Chenfeng's noodle shop be able to squash the killing urge of the Heavenly Spring Saint Son? There was a hint of uncertainty from the looks of it.
Bu Fang decided to leave the noodle shop not because he doubted Ouyang Chenfeng's ability but there seemed to be a frightful existence embedded in Xiao Ya's body, it would be uncontrollable if it broke out. If the Heavenly Spring Saint Son persisted in killing them, so be it.
Bu Fang heaved gently and made his exit.
The two guards standing at the sides of the door looked gravely at Bu Fang and Xiao Ya. Bu Fang looked at them but did not speak, eventually diminishing into the crowd.
Then, a beautiful figure emerged from the crowd. It was a lady in an emerald green long dress, with an alluring and charismatic figure. All the guards bowed in awe to her.
The lady stared at the direction at which Bu Fang left and on her face was a sardonic grin. ”He thinks he can still leave after provoking the saint? He is still too young…”
”Swish.” In an instant, the lady vapourised into a ray of green light and disappeared into thin air.
Xiao Yue looked at the Heaven's Pivot Saint Son, whose face was full of a benevolent and gentle smile. The saint of Heaven's Pivot Holy Grounds tapped on Xiao Yue's shoulder and looked as though he was trying his best to advise him, ”Junior Yue, the banquet to be held at the Valley of Gluttony for the deities of gluttony presents a good chance for you to learn and tune your skills. You should not offend others especially so when there are so many here which you could not afford to be on bad terms with. This is a piece of sound advice your senior is giving you. Do heed it.”
Xiao Yue sneered and shrugged the saint of Heaven's Pivot Holy Grounds' hand off his shoulder, then turned around to leave the Noodle King Establishment.
The Heavenly Spring Saint Son had been finding fault in him since entering the noodle shop for no rhyme or reason, so there was no doubt it had to be Liangcheng's doing. Liancheng had always been envious of his talent, afraid of him usurping his position as the Saint. He had indeed been unscrupulous.
As a top talent invited by the Valley of Gluttony, Xiao Yue would naturally be assigned with a lodge and he went straight ahead to it once he was out of the noodle shop. However, as he strolled, the din in the surroundings subsided. The illuminated arch of heaven dimmed. The cold winter wind rustled through, howling while stirring up the fallen leaves, eventually landing bleakly on the ground.
Xiao Yue paused, but his aura was suddenly razor-sharp. He averted his gaze and fixed it hawkishly at a distance ahead.
The dark clouds gathered and the rain drizzled. The splattering rain resulted in a change of the entire presence of the surroundings. The buzz and the chants of the sword resonated as the rain showered from the sky and cut through the air like sharpened swords.
