Chapter 83

**Update Time: May 5, 2013**

Ling Feng, the peak of the Tianyun realm! He is a high-ranking guard commander in Ziyeh City, far more skilled than Gongsun Furan. He is also well-known in the surrounding four cities!

The Tianyun realm is divided into five levels, and Ling Feng has reached the peak of the fifth level, currently striving to advance to a higher level! With his superior skills, dealing with the female commander Qianlian, who is at the peak of the Tianfa realm, and the man with the hooked nose, who is at the first level of the Tianyun realm, is as easy as sweeping away a nest of rats! Moreover, his powerful intervention has intimidated the scene, even though Wan Ming is loudly threatening, he knows deep down that he cannot do anything to this commander with the status of a first-class baron.

After all, nobles are protected by the empire's laws. Even though barons are of lower status than dukes and their descendants, they cannot be dealt with arbitrarily! After all, you are still just a duke's descendant, not a real duke yet? Besides, this is Ziyeh City, known for its fierce reputation. Even someone as arrogant as Wan Ming can only suppress his anger and remain calm, knowing that he has no say here.

The noble system of the Wisteria Empire is quite interesting. If you are a duke, your direct relatives, such as parents, spouses, and children, will all become nobles! However, their titles are only viscounts. To upgrade further, one must achieve something significant! Either by making contributions to the empire, excelling in literature or martial arts, or by inheriting the title from your father after he steps down. Otherwise, you will remain a viscount for life!

Wan Ming is currently a third-class viscount, just one level higher than Ling Feng. Being on someone else's territory, what right does he have to suppress others? So he can only endure.

Yun Mo, who was watching from the sidelines, was very happy to see these nobles humiliated! He wiped the blood from his face, and due to the Continuity Pill, the cuts on his face were already healing, and his broken nose had mended itself. After cleaning up, he didn't look too bad, and this scene left everyone marveling in their hearts!

These well-informed people naturally knew that some spiritual medicines could instantly heal illnesses and external injuries, but they also knew the value of such things, which a Tianyou-level captain could never afford! At this moment, including Ling Feng, everyone became very interested in the person behind Yun Mo, believing that Yun Mo had a significant background!

Yun Mo has no background at all. If it weren't for the Continuity Pill he tricked from Miss Yingying, he would be lying on the ground groaning, not pretending to be a hero!

But others don't know that, so Yun Mo, with his super combat technique, became even more mysterious in their eyes!

"Damn it, things were going so well, and then this meddler came and ruined everything!" Wan Ming was furious but could do nothing for the moment. However, he would not let this pretty boy off. Eliminating the root cause is his forte. Since the enmity has been formed, it must be resolved quickly! This person with a super combat technique must be eliminated as soon as possible, or he will become a threat! Wan Ming, with his ruthless nature, was determined to see this through.

Yun Mo slowly walked to Ling Feng's side, turned to face him, and made a guard salute, thinking to himself: "What a close call! If I hadn't mastered the concealment technique while practicing Wing Chun, I would have been exposed in front of Ling Feng. What a lucky escape!"

Indeed! Without the concealment technique, Yun Mo would still only be able to avoid exposure in front of someone two levels higher than him. In front of Ling Feng, who is at the peak of the Tianyun realm, he would have been exposed! Fortunately, Ling Feng has not yet broken through to a higher level, so he couldn't see through the fake Wen Junlai in front of him!

Yun Mo could only say he was lucky! If he had encountered Pang Tianya, he would have been exposed immediately, and that would have been dangerous.

After making the salute, he said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Commander Ling, for saving my life!"

Ling Feng accepted the salute calmly, looking him up and down with a thoughtful expression.

A quick-witted guard ran forward and reported the events that had just occurred. After listening, Ling Feng's expression softened, and he said to Yun Mo, "I understand what happened tonight. You were indeed a bit rash! However, ... you handled it well! You didn't disgrace Ziyeh City."

He paused and then raised his voice slightly, "Fighting ten at once, are you trying to get yourself killed? Each of them is a high-level expert. You were lucky they showed mercy and spared your life. They are magnanimous and don't care to deal with a small fry like you. You should be grateful!"

Cough, cough...! Wan Ming, sitting in his chair, was so angry that he started coughing. "Damn it, this damn Ling Feng, he's insulting me to my face, accusing me of being petty and bullying the weak. What the hell!"

He clenched his fists, hating to tear Ling Feng apart, but knowing he couldn't, he had to pretend not to hear. Out of sight, out of mind.

Pfft! Shangguan Huo suddenly burst out laughing, her face full of mocking smiles. "This Ling Feng, who is said to be obsessed with martial arts, is unexpectedly so witty. How amusing, ha ha!" She laughed brightly.

Oh! Wan Ming's vision went black, and he felt like fainting!

"Witty? Witty your head!" He was furious but had no outlet, almost suffocating from the frustration!

Shangguan Kong was already numb, having started to adapt to his sister's style!

Yun Mo also smiled, thinking: "This Ling Feng, who looks so loyal and honest, is also quite vicious when insulting others! Yes, someone who has reached such a high level of cultivation wouldn't be a fool. This might be another way of playing the fool."

"Yes, Commander is right. I don't have the ability to fight ten at once. They were just playing with me. It's all over now, and maintaining a harmonious and friendly relationship is most important!" Yun Mo quickly agreed.

Hmm! Ling Feng nodded, looking at the humble and cautious Wen Junlai with satisfaction. "This young man is good, I'll help him more in the future!"

Suddenly, the guards of Ziyeh City made way, and Shangguan Huo, dressed in a cheongsam, slowly walked over. Each step was measured, the distance between steps precise! Her slender waist swayed gently, her chest, now larger, stood out prominently, looking very appealing, yet having a certain indescribable charm. Combined with her healthy, rosy face, she was extremely attractive!

Even Ling Feng, with his strong will, was momentarily stunned when he saw Shangguan Huo, but quickly recovered, looking into her deep,潭-like eyes with a sense of inexplicable shock!

"This girl is not simple!" Ling Feng thought, his expression softening.

He quickly made a guard salute to Shangguan Huo and asked in a deep voice, "Miss Shangguan, what is it...?"

Shangguan Huo gave a slight bow to Ling Feng, who was startled and quickly stepped aside, not daring to accept the salute. In the Wisteria Empire, the hierarchy is strict. Generally, lower nobles salute higher nobles, who only nod in acknowledgment. So Ling Feng couldn't accept Shangguan Huo's salute!

Shangguan Huo didn't mind, standing up and looking at Ling Feng, she said, "I've heard that Commander is skilled with a twelve-foot spear. Today, I see that it is indeed extraordinary. This salute is out of respect for Commander, there's no need to avoid it."

Ling Feng's expression changed, and he was very flattered by the compliment from a beautiful young girl!

"Can we move around freely?" Suddenly, Shangguan Huo asked this question, which was so abrupt that no one could follow her train of thought!

Ling Feng was also taken aback but quickly recovered, saying softly, "This is a direct order from Commander Lei Zun!"

Shangguan Huo fell silent.

Shangguan Kong also fell silent, and even the bald Xu Xiong didn't want to say anything useless. The others were even more silent!

The order of Ziyeh's Lei Zun is even more tyrannical than that of the Ziyeh City Lord. Who in the world of cultivators doesn't know about this man? It is said that he once got drunk and pointed at the emperor, cursing him, and was only fined a few million gold coins after sobering up. Such a fierce man, who would dare to defy his orders?

Sigh! Stay in Ziyeh City for a few days, treat it as a break! The nobles, who were unhappy with the treatment of their high status, all fell silent, no one daring to oppose!

Even if they complained, it would be useless. If their fathers came, Lei Zun would still not let them go. So, they had to be obedient!

Shangguan Huo stopped asking these questions, but her eyes turned to Yun Mo, who was standing to the side. Yun Mo also quietly looked at her, and the two of them communicated silently, as if words were unnecessary! Everyone was puzzled, not understanding why Shangguan Huo was so interested in this Wen Junlai?

"Would you like to have some tea?" After a few moments, Shangguan Huo asked softly.

"Cloud tea? It's not as intense as Dahongpao or as fragrant as Tieguanyin, but it will do," Yun Mo shrugged, clearly not very fond of cloud tea.

Shangguan Kong, hearing Yun Mo's response, had the urge to punch him to death! "What nonsense is he spouting? Cloud tea is the best tea in the Wisteria Empire, worth one to two thousand gold! What are these unheard-of names like Tieguanyin and Dahongpao? My sister is crazy, talking nonsense with this strange person!"

He wanted to get up and call Shangguan Huo back, but her response made him even more frustrated!

"Indeed, it's not very flavorful, but it's better than nothing!"

"What?" Everyone was taken aback. What were these two talking about?

Then Shangguan Huo waved her hand, and Yun Mo obediently followed her to the table! Ling Feng watched from behind, a smile in his eyes.

Shangguan Huo loudly said, "Add a chair!" A servant brought a wooden chair and placed it at the table.

Shangguan Huo waved her hand again, and Yun Mo sat down without hesitation, ignoring the threatening gaze of Shangguan Kong!

Shangguan Kong wanted to strangle him even more! The bald Xu Xiong also narrowed his eyes, sizing up Yun Mo like an antique, with a meaningful look in his eyes.
