3000: Disdain

Disdain

"I know that it is a very sinister place. People say that the place isn't peaceful, and it's where my sister went missing." Feng Jiu spoke slowly.2

"There are ghosts there. Do you still have the courage to accompany me?" His voice was calm, but his eyes were piercing.

"Let's go!" Feng Jiu said nothing else, tossed the feathers from her waist and jumped on it.

"I didn't realise you were such an emotional little girl." Only then did he soften his face, take out the flying artefact, throw it into mid-air, and say to Feng Jiu, "Keep up with me. I won't wait for you if you get off track."

Feng Jiu smiled as she looked at the Wanyan Shisan leaving on his flying artefact. She then went on ahead and followed him leisurely.

After travelling a good distance, they also began to rise higher and higher. Their figures vanished into the clouds, covering their tracks…

When they reached a mountain road two days later and saw that the town in front of them wasn't far away, Wanyan Shisan turned to Feng Jiu and asked, "Do you have any men's clothing? Change into men's clothing or you'll be targeted if you walk around town like this."

When she heard this, Feng Jiu stopped and looked at her red dress, "Wait for me here!" She then proceeded to the woods on the side of the mountain road.

Wanyan Shisan sat by the side of the road drinking water and looking around. After a while, he noticed a handsome young man in azure approaching. He gave him a quick glance before turning away, but the young man approached him.

"What's going on?" What the heck was wrong with this kid? Why was he standing right in front of him for no reason?

Feng Jiu, who was dressed in azure and had her face altered, raised her brows when she heard this. "It's me, Feng Jiu."

"Feng…Jiu?" He was taken aback and stared. "Feng Jiu?" He stood up and looked her up and down. "Do you even know the art of disguise?" 

She smiled. "I know a little bit."

"Alright! I couldn't tell you have some real skill." He nodded. "Hmm, this is pretty good," he said with satisfaction. "Let's get going! We've been walking on the mountain road these past two days. I will take you to town for some good food." The two of them then proceeded to the town in front of them.

As the two approached the town gate and were about to enter, they were startled by a violent shock on the ground and a burst of laughter. Some people walking towards the town in front of them turned around in surprise when they heard the noise, and one by one exclaimed and dispersed to the side of the road.

Wanyan Shisan frowned and looked at the young men riding ferocious beasts before grabbing Feng Jiu's collar and dragging her aside.

Feng jiu was about to back away when she was suddenly pulled by the collar. She was stunned for a moment and looked sideways at Wanyan Shisan."Can you not grab my collar? When you pulled me, I felt like a baby chick being picked up by an eagle." It's still so far away. Did he think she couldn't get away from it?

Wanyan Shisan gave her a disdainful look. "Little girl, you didn't even call me Uncle Shisan the entire trip. If I hadn't pulled you, with your slow reaction, you would have been knocked flying by those beasts."

She twitched the corners of her mouth, unsure what to say. Her strength was hidden, and her strength was suppressed to the Nascent Soul's early stage. In other people's eyes, she was a Nascent Soul early-stage cultivator. It's no surprise he looked down on her.
