Chapter 348: Wang Family Village I (2/2)

Wang Meng was feeling strange towards the reaction of the group. The stare clearly converged at that ugly boy. Did that mean the ugly boy was the leader? How? Wang Meng could not see anything worthy of leadership on that boy, especially when the great heroine was actually under his order...

Wang Meng could not comprehend.

”You make the choice,” stated Ye Chong, glanced at Old Jalopy. It would be better for the tour guide to make the decision.

”Hmmm...” Old Jalopy eventually did not decline the invitation, ”We could go if it was not a trouble to the family.” It would be bad if they rejected the big family right in the face...

Wait what? The first person in command is this filthy looking boy with little to none strength, while the second person in command turned out to be that plain old man, and not that exquisite-looking lady? I don't get it.

Wang Meng was confused, since their perception of a leader would be someone of great strength and status, not these... ordinary folks... ”You are being too formal. The master would be more than pleased to treat you all.”

And so they moved.

Wang family village felt like an ancient fortress to Ye Chong, as the tall walls stood bright with layers and layers of Celestines stacked about 30 meters high. There was also a gate? It was an eye-opener to the folks. And yes, thanks to their dramatic reaction, Wang Meng and his men had technically presumed the group to be a bunch of folks from the undeveloped.

The place was feeling ancient, primitive, primal compared to He Yue. They walked on the pavement of Celestine, their eyes fell on all sorts of simple carriages, their ears heard the cries of the merchants by their wooden stalls. Ye Chong was overwhelmed by the happening village. The stalls were also offering all kinds of strange things which mostly appeared to be foreign to Ye Chong. There were skins of animals, horns of some beasts. The clothing of the villagers was unordinary... they actually saw someone with only a pair of spotty pants, probably made out of skin of a kind of animal.

”This place is known as the largest market in the area.” Smiled Wang Meng as he introduced the place, ”If you need anything, don't be shy, just tell me and I'll get it for you.” Of course he got to be kind. Be it He Yue or Fal or the Archipelago, people adore power and would try anything to seize that power. Rui Bing was that power the men sought from the visitors, no doubt Wang Meng would have to gain her favor.

But as time went, through his constant observation, he noticed something weird. Among the folks, only mind of two persons seemed unreadable - one was unquestionably that white-garbed lady, the other... was actually their leader, the nasty-looking young man. The white-garbed lady's unmovable expression was understandable for her clear heart and mind, but the young man... Wang Meng could hardly imagine him doing mental training of anything. Well, he was in fact the leader of the folks. He surely had something in his pocket to keep his underlings.

Out of sudden, a man dressed like Wang Meng headed quickly to Wang Meng. Whispers were heard and he stood in his position after.

Wang Meng turned to the folks, ”Fellow guests, it's our meal time soon. It would be great if we could speed things up a little. We could come back here tonight if you have anything to buy. The night market is always there for you after dusk.”
