NOVEL NEXT Chapter 16: Meeting
The reason why nobody interfered or helped Shi Fang was simply. Nobody was strong enough.
And for those at Dharma Body Realm, they don't want unnecessary trouble. And they were not allies with Shi Fang.
After the fight ended, some people left the scene. But some bold ones approached the aftermath scene.
"Uncle Su, let's go back too." Wei Qingyue turned back and walked away from the scene. And Uncle Su quickly followed behind her. This time he did not need to carry her.
Seeing the princess and her gaurd leaving the scene, the other 3 patriarchs also left the scene.
After they reached the inn, Wei Qingyue asked Uncle Su. "Uncle Su, do you know those men in black?"
Uncle Su showed a puzzled expression when heard the question. "No.." He shook his head to deny it.
"I swear the leading man looked at us. And when I saw them, I felt like he showed a mission accomplished look. I could feel it." Wei Qingyue recounted what she felt during the time.
She turned to Uncle Su and asked. "Was that the entrance of the black market you were talking about?"
Uncle Su nodded his head. "Yes. Their branch leader was also at the scene."
Wei Qingyue thought for a moment and said. "Go there and find out the reason for their fighting. There must be some if two Dharma Body Realm experts are fighting."
Uncle Su hesitated for a moment. Then he nodded ultimately and left the inn.
He was hesitating because he was worried about the safety of the princess. But he let it go when he saw the necklace on her neck.
On the other side, Jin An and Yu Zhe returned back to their house.
They acted like every other days, like nothing major happened.
But Yu Zhe could hardly contained his excitement. That was his first fight, ever since he became a warrior. And he dominated it.
Seeing his excitement, Jin An shook his head. "Go and sleep." He said to Yu Zhe.
Even as he was going to his room, Yu Zhe's face was still filled with excitement.
Jin An also went back to his room. Lying on his bed, he was thinking back when he was fighting Shi Fang.
That was his first time witnessing and go against a Dharma Body Realm expert.
From that, it was safe to say that he can handle a peak level 4 Dharma Body Realm, at most.
"Well.. my goal to attract the attention of the princess is already done. Now, I just need to wait for her, to come to me." He let out a smile and closed his eyes to sleep. He did not check the cameras for the aftermath of the fight.
On Wei Qingyue's side.
When the time just passed midnight, Uncle Su finally came back to the inn.
Inside the room, Uncle Su bowed a little and started reporting what he found out about.
"Your highness, from what I have found, it seemed the man in black is a vendor at the black market. And his main source is selling information of Red Tiger City and some other small information of Cold Lake Province."
Wei Qingyue was surprised, that was first time hearing of people selling information so openly. Others will only sell in a secret location.
Uncle Su continued his report. "From the people present there, Shi Fang and assistant started the fight. And the reason seemed to be about some information."
"Apparently, the man was leaving. But Shi Fang stopped and asked him to hand over some information. Nobody knew what the information was about. And the man refused to hand over."
"He said something about coming over tomorrow night or that. And Shi Fang flipped and suddenly attacked him."
"That was all I could find." Uncle Su ended his report.
From the report, Wei Qingyue grasped a brief knowledge about the fight.
"You said the man sells information at the black market, right?" She asked.
"Yes." Uncle Su replied.
"Then, do you know how much is his information true? Has anyone ever complained went back there to complain?" Wei Qingyue asked a series of questions.
"From what I have heard, all his information seems to be true. And there is also rumors that both of them are from some organization called the Heavenly Wind Pavillion." Uncle Su answered.
"Heavenly Wind Pavillion..?" Wei Qingyue eyes furrowed, trying to remember if she had ever heard about it.
As she was thinking, Uncle Su hesitated for a second. Then, he said. "Your Highness, there is also another thing I want to tell you."
"Huh? Another thing? Tell me about it." Wei Qingyue sat down on the bed and said.
Uncle Su looked around the room, trying to sense if there are other people near them.
After he cleared, he looked at Wei Qingyue and said in a low voice. "I believe Your Highness should have notice that the man never released his Dharma Phantom."
Wei Qingyue nodded.
"The have you heard of warriors called the 'Phantom Bearer'?"
Wei Qingyue nodded.
"So, what you are saying is that... he might be one of them?" She asked with an unsure expression.
"Yes. I could sense that his strength was coming from within." Uncle Su said.
The two went silent for some minutes. During this time, the room was pin drop silent.
After sometime, Wei Qingyue spoke. "It seems like I have to meet these two people, especially the Dharma Body Realm expert."
"Yes. But we have to be extremely cautious around them." Uncle Su also agreed to the words.
-------
The next night came.
Wei Qingyue and her guardian, Uncle Su, came to the black market in order to find Jin An's stall.
But unfortunately for them, Jin An was not there.
Jin An did not come to the black market that night, intentionally.
Just like that, two more days have passed. Every night, Wei Qingyue and Uncle Su came to the black market to find Jin An. But Jin An never came.
Finally, on the third day, Jin An decided to show up at the black market.
