Chapter 271 Meeting Her Again
"When do we leave for the city?" Liu Feng looked at Li Tian. Everything that they had just discussed revolved around Liu Feng and Liu Man going to the capital.
Li Tian looked at Liu Ling Tian as if asking for his approval.
Liu Ling Tian just nodded, as if he did not have a care about what was about to happen. Even though Liu Feng received an explanation for the lack of expression on Liu Ling Tian's face, this still hurt him very much, He felt as though he was nothing in the eyes of his father.
"Fine then, I will leave for the capital city immediately. It looks like there is nothing for me to do here anyway." Liu Feng snorted.
He stood up and looked at Liu Man, but then paused.
Liu Man wouldn't know where the capital city was. He only knew the directions to major places that withstood the test of time. The capital city was a place that existed outside of that, and this kingdom was one of many that replaced the Han Dynasty.
"You can take one of the beasts on top of missions hall. Although few are faster than you are, you can get there with a peace of mind." Li Tian came to his rescue.
"Thank you, master. I shall head there instantly." Liu Feng nodded and he left the room, leaving Liu Qian, Liu Ling Tian, and Li Tian alone.
"What happened there? Do you really want him to enter the war right now? After so many people sacrificed so much just to avoid that result? I thought that you would do anything to protect him but you are going to allow him to go to the mouth of the tiger?" Liu Qian looked at Liu Ling Tian, questioning him.
"It is no longer in my power to control this boy. He is strong now, he is his own man. Which man who got to that position on his own would willfully allow someone else to control his fate? Let him do what he wants. At the right moment, I can only hope that the terrifying existence beside him will let him get through what problem or obstacle they might encounter." Liu Ling Tian said, sighing as he looked at a distant memory.
"Now that we have the distraction in place, should we inform everyone? It is best if everyone gets time to prepare." Li Tian asked.
"You are too trusting. There are many among us who have allegiances elsewhere. It is best that we keep this to ourselves for now. Soon, the fact that he is trying to become king will become public, and everyone will start digging around that. At that time, we will strike with our core strength. And make sure that our best only know at that time. Not every Soul Evolution Stage expert needs to know." Liu Ling Tian said.
Li Tian and Liu Qian nodded.
Liu Feng and Liu Man, meanwhile, were already in front of the missions center. They looked at the number of people who were walking in and out of the center with interest.
Liu Feng had the feeling that something interesting was going to happen though. He shrugged off the feeling and was about to enter the missions hall when he heard someone call his name.
"Liu Feng? Is that you?" a sweet and gentle voice called, shaking Liu Feng.
Few knew him well enough to recognize him after so many years. It had been a while since he last came to the sect, and even at that time, he wasn't the most popular.
He did not need to turn around to know who this was though. He knew that voice very well, and his divine sense was quite helpful.
But he still did turn around with a complicated expression on his face.
"Cai Lien. It has been a long time," he said.
In front of him, Cai Lien was clad in a red dress, and with golden threads embroidered on the edges, it looked like a bride had run away from her ceremony to come here.
She looked truly stunning, and everyone around her agreed. All the men around were staring at Cai Lien, and many more were wondering who the mysterious man was with whom she initiated contact.
"It has been a long time indeed! Where were you the last two years?" she asked, confused. Ever since the incident in Kaishi, where she was almost married to him, they never even saw each other.
And Liu Feng did not exactly tell anyone that he would be disappearing for a while, so many people feared for his safety.
"The last two years? I was... outside the kingdom. I had a few things to take care of." Liu Feng didn't have a go to answer for this. With the elders, his increase in strength spoke for itself, and they had no choice but to shut up.
But Cai Lien couldn't exactly see that Liu Feng not only entered the Xiantian realm, but he actually crossed it a long time ago, and was now as strong as an elder of the sect!
"Who is the person next to you? I have never seen him before." she looked at Liu Man, who was quiet till now.
"This is Liu Man. He is like a brother to me." Liu Feng said.
"It looks like you both have something to do right now. I guess that I am only disturbing you. I will go then." Cai Lien sighed and she turned around to leave.
Liu Feng wanted to stop her, but in the end, he hesitated and decided against it.
This was not the time for him to be spending time fixing old relationships. Too many things were at play here. He turned around to enter the missions center, when someone else stopped him.
"Who the hell are you two? How do you know Junior sister Lien?" a hefty man looked at them with fierce eyes.
"You have to be kidding me. How do clowns like this exist in such abundance?"
