Chapter 23 - Senior Chen

"Look, he is back. It's been forty minutes already. Does that mean he is already a Spirit King?

" One tall youngster from the queue asked quietly.

n

"There is no way he would advance to a Spirit King in one day. Most likely, he got more tokens just because he is the Clan Leader son.

" His buddy explained.

n

"Yeah, probably. Now that he has a black talent, the clan will focus greatly on cultivating him.

" The tall youngster agreed with a hint of jealousy.

nThey weren't mad for the special benefits Xuefeng got from the clan. If they had Black talents, they would receive them as well.

n

"We can still achieve something if we work hard. What do you think, which Rank is the Spirit Artefact he got?

" A black-haired lad with dark blue eyes joined their conversation.

nThe tall youngster clasped his hands towards the newcomer and answered,

"Oh, Senior Chen, welcome. I think he got at least a Rank 4 Spirit Artefact. What does senior think?

"

n

"I think that he got at least one Rank 5 Spirit Artefact and three Rank 4. I heard that the new Purple Talent Liu Mei left the Spirit Treasury with a Rank 4 Spirit Sword. If she can get a Rank 4 Spirit Sword, what do you think someone with Black talent will gain?

" Senior Chen told everyone his theory.

n

"Senior Chen's words make sense. He just got out, maybe he will show us his Spirit Artefact.

" They looked at the Xuefeng who was walking out of the hall with expectations.

nXuefeng, unaware of their conversation walked out of the building, and searched with his sight for the two beauties he left behind. He spotted them talking with two men in their twenties. He looked at their faces, and they weren't happy.

nSeeing that, Xuefeng approached them. Sensing that someone was coming, Wuying and Princess Shan turned around, and their eyes lit up. They ran up to him and linked their arms with his. Seeing this, the smiles of the young men fell.

nThey were the proud Spirit Kings who just came to the clan from their mission and spotted two beauties standing here alone. They thought it was a good opportunity to flirt after a long journey, but who would have thought they would be ignored repeatedly.

nAfter five minutes of their hard work, the trash came, and they ran into his arms. What pissed them off more was the fact they recognized him, the trash Young master.

n'We are doing missions and risk our lives, while he plays with beauties safely at home.' They thought angrily.

n

"What is happening?

" Xuefeng asked surprised.

n

"Why it took you so long? Some flies came and started to bug us.

" Princess Shan complained as if she was his girlfriend. She pressed her peaks against his arm, giving him an angelic sensation.

nWuying looked at her in shock but did the same as she didn't want to lose to her.

nThe crowd looked at him with jealousy. Even if you were a Young master with Black Talent, do you need to show everyone how great you are?

nWuying was already quite a flower to be plucked, but now he also has another one whose body is even better looking.

nThey watched from the side as the scene carried out. Some of the youngsters in the queue recognized the two men, who were trying to flirt with the Young master's ladies.

nThey were Spirit Kings from the External Clan.

nLiu Clan was divided into two sections. Main clan and External Clan. Only people who married into Main Clan could belong to it. The External Clan consisted of people who were just working for the Clan. They could leave the clan whenever they wanted.

nThese two young men had joined the Liu Clan because they had more opportunities to advance here.

nThese two were probably on a mission and just came back to the clan. They apparently didn't hear about recent news and will probably try to make trouble.

nYoung master Liu Xuefeng wasn't the trash anymore!

n

"Young master, how about you lend us those ladies for a night? We won't take long.

" They asked lustfully when they approached Xuefeng.

n

"Where is Elder Ming?

" Xuefeng asked Wuying as he ignored them completely.

n

"He left already as he had something to take care of. Did you get the Spirit Artefacts I told you about?

" She asked worriedly.

n

"Yeah, I got all 4.

" He said proudly.

n

"What ranks did you get?

" Princess Shan asked curiously.

n

"Hey, I'm talking to mmmm…

" The man who was ignored got mad and tried to make them notice him when his friend closed his mouth with his hand.

n

"Shhh, dude didn't you hear them?

" His buddy asked.

n

"What? They are just talking about Spirit Artefacts. Wait…

" The man looked around him and noticed that they were near the Spirit Treasury. He got alerted and checked Xuefeng's aura with his Spirit Awareness.

n

"He is in Grandmaster stage… Since when could he cultivate? We were only away for a month.

" He panicked.

n

"Let's go. We need to get updated on the news.

" His buddy grabbed him by the shoulders and they walked away.

nThey weren't stupid, so they quickly realised the situation they were in. If he advanced into Grandmaster stage in less than a month, he is bound to have highly ranked talent. Coupled with his status as a Young master, they would make a huge offence if they insulted him.

n

"I will show you when we arrive in my courtyard.

" He smiled seeing the two men leave. It's always better to resolve the conflict without fighting. He knew they would leave if he just ignored them.

n

"Come on, let's go.

" He said before going forward but then realised that they were still hugging his arms. It was a nice feeling for a virgin like him, but he had troubles walking. He wasn't a stranger to female touch, but they were currently in public and all the people watching them, made him quite embarrassed.

n

"Are you going to hug my arms like that the whole way?

" He asked speechless as they still didn't let go of him after a couple of steps.

n

"Hi hi, I got used to it too fast.

" Princess Shan let go first, with a bold laugh.

nWuying thought it was a nice feeling to lean on his shoulder, but reluctantly, she also let go.

nWhen they disappeared on their way back, the youngsters in the queue to the Spirit Treasury, sighed in disappointment. They wanted to see the Spirit Artefacts their Young master took from the Spirit Treasury, but their wish didn't come true.

nSenior Chen was also interested, but he knew that it would be revealed soon enough. He just hoped Liu Xuefeng didn't take the Artefact he had his sights on.

n

"By the way, Senior Chen why are you here? Did you advance to Spirit King as well?

" The tall Grandmaster asked as he saw Senior Chen still staying with them.

n

"Yeah, I'm going to try to get the Ancestor sword this time.

" He told them his ambitious plans.

n

"Congratulations Senior, are you talking about the Black Flame Slayer our founder used to make a name for himself?

" The surrounding cultivators congratulated him.

n

"Yeah, as I have Dark Blue talent, I think I have a chance now that I entered Spirit King Stage.

" He admitted proudly.

nAlthough Liu Chen advanced to Spirit King only yesterday, it was not because his talent was bad. It's because he spends most of his time on training his Swordsmanship. Recently he even comprehended Sword Intent. With that, he was very confident in getting the legendary sword.

n

"Then, we wish you good luck. How about we let Senior skip the queue and go first?

" One teenage girl proposed, trying to stand out in the group.

n

"Yes, yes. Senior go first.

" Another person also let him go past himself.

nAfter one proposed, everyone followed. It would be bad to be the only one who didn't agree and receive critique from everyone.

n

"Then I have to thank everyone.

" He bowed to the lady and went towards the counter to receive the token.
