On either side of the street, buildings densely populated the landscape. Mansions, government offices, schools, taverns, pawnshops, their numbers countless, overwhelming one’s senses. The loud street vendors add to the hustle and bustle of this lively city, giving it an unmatched vibrant energy.
The passersby are not only businessmen in lavish silk attire but also scholar students exuding scholarly grace, tourists who have traveled from the surrounding prefectures to admire the city, and of course, the noble elites with their entourage of followers.
“See that? That is the life I had always dreamed about!”
Feng Qing’an squinted his eyes as he watched a group heading to the city gate from not far in front of him, smiling at the two wolves, Black and Bai Yao, trailing behind him.
After all, Fengtian was an associate capital and the former old capital of the previous dynasty, thus undoubtedly splendid. Feng Qing’an had just left his house for a short while and had already encountered a young noble.
The master official, who was riding a white horse, led a group with four guards clearing the way ahead and around a dozen servants trailing behind him. Some were leading dogs, carrying bows, a few had hawks perched on their arms, and others had birdcages in their hands. Saddlebags full of wine and arrows hung by their sides. This magnificent group of well-dressed people riding high-spirited horses was a sight to behold.
Such a show of power could only come from nobility. Ordinary wealthy families, despite their capabilities, would not dare to show off like this within Fengtian city. To ride freely within the city requires significant backing; otherwise, wouldn’t the city officials have nothing to do?
‘Eh!”
Feng Qing’an was blending in with the crowd, stepping aside for the truly high-ranking master official. Now, despite standing out because of his age, snow-white clothing, and the presence of Black Mountain and Bai Yao, the official riding leisurely on his white horse barely glanced at Feng Qing’an out of the corner of his eye before abruptly turning his head to stare at him.
“You, you, you are?”
Like finding an unparalleled beauty in the crowd, the noble son who intended to go hunting outside the city, raised his hand and pointed at Feng Qing’an with trembling fingers. His jade-like face turned visibly red, appearing both excited and agitated.
Noticing the unusually excited nobleman, the pedestrians who had been maintaining a certain distance from Feng Qing’an due to the presence of Black Mountain and Bai Yao, instantly scattered, creating a vast empty space.
Even tourists who had just entered the city understood that anyone bold enough to ride a horse within the city was undoubtedly an inaccessible nobleman. Every city had rules against riding horses within its boundaries, and only a select few could flout them.
“Young master! “
Sensing their master’s agitation, the followers and guards turned their eyes to
Feng Qing’an.
“Who are you?”
One guard placed his hand on the hilt of his waist-held sword, observing Feng Qing’an vigilantly. Before Feng Qing’an could answer, a foot shot out from behind him, kicking the guard off his horse.
“What makes you think you have the right to address the nobleman in this manner?”
The guard that had been kicked off the horse rolled on the ground. When he stood up and saw who had kicked him, he instantly plastered a smile on his face, respectfully bowing, fear plainly visible.
“My young master, I was wrong…”
“Why are you still here talking to me? He is over there; go apologize to him!” the young master impatiently scolded.
“Yes!” replied the guardo.
The dismounted guard did not hesitate in the slightest bit, and immediately Imelt in front of Feng Qing’an and started apologizing.
“I offended you due to my ignorance, master. I beg your forgiveness…”
Recovering, the young official dismounted his horse, and the other followers and guards also followed suit when they saw their master doing so.
“You must be Second Young Master Feng, right? It’s true what they say; one can only truly know a person once they have met them in person. I’ve heard about you many times before, but today that I’ve seen you, I can attest that you are as reputed… ”
“Hold that thought, what’s going on with this guy?
Looking at the official before him, someone he had never met before but was now trying to bootlick him, and further, heap praises upon him, Feng Qing’an raised his hand and pointed at the guard who was knocking his head on the ground in apology.
“Did he not offend you?”
The young official was a young man who didn’t seem too old, tall and straight, wearing a sapphire blue long robe with a matching belt. He wore silver white silk clothes underneath, clutching a folding fan in his hands.
He was indeed a handsome, refined, and extraordinary young man, bearing the air of aloofness. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he gave off the air of a pompous official son, making one want to punch him.
“What does he count for? He even dared to speak to you while sitting on horseback. Even I don’t have this audacity. What makes him so special?”
“You know me?”
Feng Qing’an’s heart understood, but his face showed a colour of investigations.
“Who doesn’t know you? I look at your portrait at least eight times a day.” The master official answered with a chuckle.
“What exactly do you look at my portrait every day for?”
Feng Qing’an’s expression suddenly became somewhat subtle. He pondered whether this handsome debauchee in front of him had some peculiar hobbies. With this thought, Feng Qing’an discreetly took a half step back.
“Didn’t I hear that you were coming to Fengtian City? Our elders, who have given up on us, the rotten mud that can’t be scraped off the wall, nag us daily, telling us not to offend you.”
Facing a Master Official who seemed to have a deep understanding of him made Feng Qing’an realize how renowned he was in Da Jin. “Even if I were a fool, I should remember what you look like!”
“So, you’re that excited to see me?”
“Of course, if you saw a person from an image eight hundred times and suddenly they appeared before you, wouldn’t you be excited?” The young master laughed.
“You might want him to get up. After all, he is a martial artist.”
Feng Qing’an glanced at the guard who had already knocked his forehead bloody. His eyes showed no particular emotion. This was the most spineless warrior he had ever seen, yet this kind of warrior was an innate one.
“My words matter no more. It’s up to you, if you forgive his recent actions, he’ll be fine. But if you’re not satisfied, you may kill him as you like.”
Having said that, the Master Official added,
“His recent actions were his alone, they have nothing to do with me. I did not instruct him to do so. If you want to vent, vent on him!”
“All right, it’s such a trifling matter, it’s not worth fussing over!”
Feng Qing’an found the Master Official’s strong desire to survive somewhat amusing. It seemed his reputation among the elite was not excellent.
However, while the young man’s words were exaggerated, his face showed little fear. His eyes were filled with excitement and curiosity instead. “Did you hear? He can’t be bothered with you, thank the man now!”
The Master Official kicked the kowtowing guard.
“Thank you for your mercy!”
“Get lost! I find you an eyesore, don’t get in the way here!”
The Master Official cursed, and the guard, whose forehead was bruised, fled as if pardoned, crawling away.
“What kind of person am I in the information you’ve heard?”
Watching the guard who was booted away, Feng Qing’an looked at the gilded yet decayed young master in front of him and couldn’t help but ask.
One must admit, he couldn’t really deal with this kind of rogue behavior.
“You, Second Master Feng, are perceived by us debauchees as a dangerous man. If one gets too close and irritates you, you draw your sword and slash it immediately!”
“Yet you keep close to me?”
Feng Qing’an became curious. Was this guy tired of living?
“But I also heard that you only lash out at nobles who oppress the people. And me, since birth, I have never oppressed the Human Race!”
Upon saying that, the Master Official raised his head with a proud look.
“Never oppressed the Human Race? So, who have you oppressed?” Feng Qing’an noticed the point and his eyes narrowed slightly.
“Hehe, seeing is believing. We’re fated to meet, Second Master Feng. Why don’t you come with me to have some fun? If you come with me, you’ll know who I’ve been oppressing all this time!”
Observing Feng Qing’an’s expression, the Master Official burst into laughter. He was certain that this fierce man in front of him was on the side of the Human Race. Thus, he was absolutely safe.
“Lead the way!”
Surprisingly, Feng Qing’an, who just wanted to try some local features, seemed intrigued.
“Alright!”
The local Master Official took the lead and led Feng Qing’an to a long street near the canal. As far as the eye could see, there were palaces and buildings all connected by causeways. The air was filled with the scent of rouge and cosmetics. On the other side, there were luxurious boats. This place was self-explanatory.
However, the Master Official’s destination was an unassuming building in the midst of this glamorous area. Just as Feng Qing’an stepped foot inside the main entrance following the Master Official, a terrifying surge of Demon Qi came rushing towards him.
“Welcome, Young Master Feng, to the Ten Thousand Demon Nation!”
