276 Chestnut Town 1 (2/2)

Which made him appreciate how Li Changhai was playing his role as Qin Feng's Protector, and riding about the length of a lance ahead of him. How the Second Ducal Prince was holding up under all those gazes he had no idea. Perhaps it was something that all noblemen had to be trained in, when they reached puberty? Qin Feng certainly did not know.

But he soon spotted the building that had been described, and nodded at the same, drawing the attention of Lin Liushui beside him. Who was quick to react with a chuckle. Before he declared in a loud and confident voice:

”Ah. We are here. Please stop your horses at the front of the building, while I go ahead to give our names to the doorman.”

Lin Liushui did just that, in a flamboyant and unhurried manner. The way that he leapt off his horse made it clear to everyone watching that he was a Master of the martial arts though, and drew quite a few gasps of surprise.

Then all the onlookers chided themselves for not considering the details that they had already witnessed. If those footmen and maids were already so skilled, how could the riders at their head be any less accomplished, when it came to martial cultivation?

Something that made Lin Liushui skip backwards at once, and prompt Li Changhai to dismount and hold his glaive at ready!

That development was enough to increase the volume of all of the commentaries in the surrounding crowd again. As well as put a frown on Qin Feng's face. Was this the sort of welcome that an alchemist would receive? In a small town such as this?

Fortunately, he had prepared for something like that.

A quick nod at Ye Honghua reminded her of her role immediately. And Qin Feng had to admit that she managed to carry it off rather well. Her voice called out, even as the crowd of armed men was making its way to Qin Feng's two companions:

”Why don't you let me handle that, cousin? It has been a long journey, and you should take a good rest. After all, didn't you say that you were intending to concoct some pills tonight? It has been a tiring journey after all.”
