Leaving Nuoding City

Chapter 38

------------

''Ah...'' Aria suddenly stopping her step.

''Hmm?'' Lin Feng stared at his maid.

''Something Aria?''

''I forgot the frying pan in the inn kitchen,'' She said with a pout.

''Haha...'' Lin Feng chuckled while shaking his head.

''Don't worry too much about it,''

''B-But, It's Master...'' Aria muttered while feeling a little bad as the frying pan is from Lin Feng.

''Should we go back to the inn?'' He proposed with a smile.

Lin Feng knows Aria's feeling a little bad now, but he never thought she becomes sad just because of a frying pan.

''We still have a time...'' He added.

''Mm,'' Aria nodded.

Two of them then walked back to the inn, only to find Tang San and Grandmaster.

''Ah,'' Lin Feng awkwardly stared at them.

''...'' Grandmaster.

''...'' Tang San.

''...'' Lin Feng.

''...'' Aria.

''So, how is your day...'' Lin Feng suddenly said to lessen up the awkward moods.

''What do you want!'' Grandmaster said while staring at Lin Feng.

''Ah, Err, Um...'' Lin Feng mumbled.

''You see, my maid forgot her frying pan...'' He said with a wry smile.

''Frying pan?'' Grandmaster muttered while looking at Aria.

''...'' Grandmaster.

He keeps staring at Lin Feng until he turned back and walked away with Tang San.

(Aria's kick seems to injured him badly, huh) Lin Feng thought while looking at Tang San as he feels a little sorry for him.

''Well, he attacks me first, though.'' Lin Feng muttered with a fact as they suddenly come into the inn and questioning his secret.

''Talking about secret...''

(Maybe Grey is my greatest secret) Lin Feng thought while thinking about his system, which always assists him whenever he needs help.

''I can't tell them about Grey, though,'' Lin Feng muttered as only his summons knows about his secret.

He maybe walks off the line when rejecting Grandmaster's offer, but he really doesn't want to be his disciple.

''Hmm...'' Lin Feng stared at Tang San and Grandmaster.

''Full Recovery...''

Lin Feng sneakily activates his golden lotus as thin golden light touching Tang San's back, which should be enough to heal him.

''This should be enough to compensate him...'' Lin Feng muttered as he calls back his golden lotus.

''Master,'' Aria appears beside him with a frying pan.

''Let's go...'' Lin Feng said as his maid nodded her head.

Two of them walked to the north of nuoding city, where if they are riding Kro, they will arrive at the star dou forest.

--------

''Hmm?''

''What the matter Tang San?'' Grandmaster asked while looking at his disciple.

''My wound got healed,'' Tang San muttered, making his teacher frowned as there is no way he could heal his wound this fast.

''Hmm...'' Grandmaster averted his gaze toward the way to the inn of the sleeping beast.

(We don't meet anyone that could heal Tang San, except) Grandmaster thought.

''He seems the one who heals you...'' He said while hinting something to his disciple.

''Lin Feng?'' Tang San guessed as he tilted his head in confusion.

''Yeah,'' Grandmaster nodded.

''But, why?'' Tang San muttered while also averting his gaze toward the way to the inn.

''I can guess a few things...''

''In the first place, I was interrogating him to know why he could absorb purple spirit ring because there is no way my research is wrong!''

''The optimal age of the first spirit ring is 423 years old!''

''I want him to become my disciple, so I could researching his martial soul and secret.'' Grandmaster stated, ''But, he seems to adamant to become my disciple as you become angry and attack him.''

''I...'' Tang San muttered with a wry smile as he can't let someone insulting his teacher.

''Well, everyone has their own secret, I have it, you have it.''

''I know why you're angry, but what he said is not completely wrong!'' Grandmaster said with a bitter smile on his face.

''Lin Feng's words are not hurting me at all because I am used to it...''

''Eh?'' Tang San tilted his head when he heard his teacher's words.

''Teacher...''

Grandmaster is calmly staring at the skies while releasing a sigh.

''There are no good-for-nothing spirits, only good-for-nothing spirit masters.''

''I indeed a good for nothing guy...'' Grandmaster said with a calm expression.

(I abandoned two women just because of my self-esteem and weakness !) Grandmaster thought while letting out a sigh.

''I was useless...''

''I can't become strong because of my talent...''

''I was a coward.''

''I feel a shame for myself.''

''I even live freeloading in the nuoding academy,'' Grandmaster said with a weak smile on his face.

''...'' Tang San.

''Teacher...'' Tang San muttered while looking at the lonely figure of his teacher.

''It's not simply his fault because both sides are wrong...''

''We pry too much into his secret.''

''He simply heals you because of his maid...''

Grandmaster sighed, ''Sigh, let's go.''

''Mm,'' Tang San nodded.

''Lin Feng...'' He muttered while looking at the inn.

(What kind of person are you) He thought as he followed his teacher to the academy.

Meanwhile, forty kilometers away from the nuoding city, we can see Lin Feng and Aria sitting on Kro's back while traveling at a fast speed.

''We almost arrive at the star dou forest...'' Lin Feng muttered while looking at the mini-map.

''Hmm?'' Lin Fen stared at the mini-map and found a bunch of blue dots circling three small blue dots.

''Interesting...'' He muttered as he instructed Kro to run toward the direction of the blue dots.

They then arrived at the star dou forest!

''Ah,'' Lin Feng eyes staring at the scene in front of him.

''Well, It's only a bunch of a thousand years old wolf spirit beast cornering their preys.''

''Hmm?''

A shadow of a bird flew past them as Aria's eyes widened in surprise.

''Grey, Scan.''

[Species: Fierce Green Falcon/Spirit Beast]

[C. Age: 15.000 years old]

[Description: a powerful fifteen thousand years spirit beast with fast speed and strong wings, it has a prevailing wind element attack and hunting ability]

*Caw!*

Fierce Green Falcon is descending from the skies as whirlwinds appear alongside his body.

*Boom!*

The pack of wolves spirit beast got blasted by the whirlwind as two of them got caught by the falcon claw.

*Caw!*

Fierce Green Falcon is flying toward the inner area of the star dou forest.

''Master,'' Aria said while staring at the falcon.

''That's falcon is very suitable for my wind spirit.''

''Hmm, do you confidence to kill it?'' Lin Feng asked.

Aria stared at the falcon as a small smile appears on her face.

''It won't take a long time...''
