"You said you just smelled a scent that made you uncomfortable?"
Lin Feng stared at Xiaobai in his arms, his expression one of surprise.
This was the first time Xiaobai had felt this way after following him for so long.
The grayish-white plush beast bared its teeth, its fur standing on end.
Is it really that tense?
Lin Feng frowned and quickly stroked his fur to appease him.
What exactly does it taste like?
Little Whitey snores twice in his ear, and Lin Feng is immediately surprised. He even thought that the little guy's sense of smell was malfunctioning.
"The smell of the enemy? Are you sure?"
If the Devouring God Clan is an enemy clan, then that leaves only the Liberation God Clan, right?
Could it be that a divine beast has appeared in this endless sea?
He became secretly on guard.
The three found an inn. The innkeeper was an old man with a large black birthmark on his face. He glanced at the three of them, then lowered his head to fiddle with his abacus and said indifferently, "Ten mid-grade sea stones per person per night. No discounts or credit."
Sea stones are the currency of the endless sea.
"Old man, you must be joking."
Mo Ye narrowed his eyes, his gaze already showing some hostility.
“We’ve passed by quite a few inns along the way, and the most they offer is ten low-grade sea stones per person per night. You’re asking for mid-grade ones right away, which doesn’t make sense.”
None of the three of them were native martial artists of the Endless Sea, so after landing, they used some rare and precious materials to exchange for some sea stones. Now they had enough money in their pockets, but they still couldn't resist the old man's high price.
"Young man, this is a fair price."
The old man raised his head, sneered, and said, "If you don't believe me, just ask around here and see if other people think my price is too high."
Needless to say, everyone around here must be an acquaintance of the old man, and as fellow disciples of the Crossing Water Sect, they would definitely help the old man deceive them.
Mo Ye's expression suddenly darkened. He surged with spiritual energy and abruptly overturned the table next to him.
The old man's expression changed upon seeing this.
"What? You want to fight?"
"Someone come here!"
Just as the atmosphere was tense, a young man dressed in light blue clothes suddenly walked in. Judging from his appearance, he did not seem to be a disciple of the Crossing Water Sect.
"Hey old man, I think you haven't had enough of being beaten. How did I teach you a lesson yesterday? Have you already forgotten? And you still dare to ask for such a high price?"
Upon hearing the young man's voice, the old man's fierce expression instantly turned obsequious. He quickly bowed and said in a humble voice, "No, no, my humble shop is honored by Young Master Ye's hospitality. What would you like to eat today?"
The young man chuckled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "A plate of beef and a bowl of rice wine."
He then looked at Lin Feng, smiled, and cupped his hands in greeting, "You gentlemen are also here to attend the Rising Dragon Gate celebration, right? My surname is Ye, and my given name is Ye Lingya. I am an inner disciple of the Haiya Sect. May I ask your names, gentlemen?"
“Shen Xiaohong, these are my brothers, Lin Feng and Lin Ye.”
Lin Feng's eyes were unreadable. This guy was covered in perfume and looked like he had just gotten out of a woman's bed. And not far from this inn was a "Red Fragrance Pavilion".
In the system introduction, Ye Lingya is indeed a playboy, and his life motto is quite childish, such as drinking the strongest liquor and sleeping with the most beautiful women, which makes people's skin crawl.
Although Ye Lingya is a somewhat immature teenager, he is also quite steady in character. After receiving the true teachings of Emperor Wuya, he has been secretly cultivating and accumulating strength for a future breakthrough. Even when others look down on him within the sect, he endures it silently until recently when he finally shows his talent and becomes one of the best among the younger generation of Haiya Sect.
The saying "a dragon lies hidden in the abyss" perfectly describes this situation.
"Brother Shen, and the two Brother Lins, it's fate that we've met. Why don't we sit down and have a drink?"
Ye Lingya winked and said with a grin, "Perfect timing! You're new here and probably don't know which building has the prettiest girls, right? I'm an expert in this area and can give you some good advice!"
"Drinking is fine, but no need for girls."
Lin Feng smiled faintly.
"Hahaha, I get it, I get it. Brother Lin Feng, you seem like a very respectable person."
Ye Lingya casually put his arm around the man's shoulder, then looked at the terrified shopkeeper and said indifferently, "That's just how things are here. This old guy has been taking advantage of the Dragon Ascension Gate to make a quick buck lately. I just taught him a lesson yesterday. If you three brothers think my reprimand wasn't enough, feel free to take action. This kind of scoundrel deserves to be taught a lesson."
"No need."
Shen Xiaohong tossed the thirty low-grade sea stones to the shopkeeper and said, "A fair price, right?"
"You three can stay for free."
The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead; it seemed that Ye Lingya had indeed left him with considerable psychological trauma yesterday.
"We won't stay for nothing."
Shen Xiaohong snorted coldly and rejected his overtures.
The four sat at a table. At first, Lin Feng was a little wary. After all, this person had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and he didn't know what his intentions were. Moreover, everyone was going to participate in the Rising Dragon Gate. Logically speaking, they were enemies with Ye Lingya, so this person seemed to have no reason to be nice to them.
After observing for a while, Lin Feng was certain that Ye Lingya had no hostility and had not used any secret techniques to probe the cultivation levels that the three of them were intentionally hiding.
While Lin Feng was observing him, Ye Lingya was also observing the three of them.
He was astonished to discover that although the aura of the man named Lin Ye was more powerful than that of the other two, he was not the leader of the three-person team. On the contrary, Lin Feng, who was dressed in white and looked younger than him, was the leader of the team. Lin Ye followed Lin Feng's lead without question. He wouldn't even take a drink from the table if Lin Feng didn't speak. As for the other man, who had an upright demeanor, he was nothing special.
Based on Ye Lingya's extensive experience in judging people, Lin Feng and Shen Xiaohong should be young masters who have been training outside. Following them will definitely not be a bad thing for him!
Thinking of this, Ye Lingya's smile widened, and he began to toast the three of them.
"I have no other hobbies but friends and women. Come, let me toast these three gentlemen!"
Just as the three were having a pleasant conversation, a noisy argument suddenly broke out outside the door.
Seeing the three of them stunned, Ye Lingya asked in confusion, "You three...aren't you warriors from the Endless Sea?"
All three of them were taken aback.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. I guess it's just that two gangs are fighting outside, which is quite common in the Endless Sea. But I saw that you guys seemed quite interested, so I made a guess. Whether I'm right or wrong, I apologize to the three of you."
Lin Feng and his two companions never revealed their identities from the beginning, which shows that they did not want others to know the truth. Therefore, whether Ye Lingya guessed correctly or incorrectly, it was a very impolite act in their eyes.
