The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 68 - Original Character
Xin Chen held onto Wei Feng's chest to avoid telling the old man anymore, indeed it was not always the appearance of portraying one's disposition. For example, this Gu Long, outside he looks like a good leader, friendly and ethical but ultimately they are deceived.
The man fooled them. Have the two hunt the demon spirits in the dangerous forest with the lure of a reward of five thousand gold pieces. Everything was just sheer nonsense, both Xin Chen and Wei Feng were both fooled by it. Unwilling to embarrass himself again in front of Gu Long, Xin Chen immediately retreated.
"I don't care about the money, what matters now is the safety of the residents around the spirit demon forest. At least we got rid of them, Brother Wei."
"Chen, are you happy to be fooled or what? He's obviously playing us! You don't feel humiliated being treated like that by this old lady?! I'd love to smash his face!"
Wei Feng pulled his sleeves in annoyance, three pointed spears were pointed towards Wei Feng instantly anyway. The disciples from the Gold Wasp Hill sect were protecting this man named Gu Long. No matter what he does well or not. Gu Long seemed to have great power in this sect.
"Young Swordsman, it seems you have a good heart. I admit you're quite airy when you know your money I took."
The veins on Wei Feng's forehead were increasingly visible, his arms were still being pulled back by Xin Chen. Fearing that the man was starting a fight against Gu Long, he glanced towards Gu Long patiently.
"Actually I also found some other animals in the forest, as far as I was sold also the results were good enough." he said as he watched Gu Long's face, sure enough to twinkle his eyes immediately bright. It seems like the man is crazy with money. "Can you show me that now?"
Xin Chen nodded slowly, not caring that Wei Feng was already annoyed half-deadly at him. Before long out the beetles are stored in the space ring.
This beetle with a golden-yellow hue had a unique wing sound, making Gu Long certain the beetles Xin Chen was carrying were indeed rare species.
"Hm... Maybe if you want to sell it to us, I can appreciate all these beetles a hundred pieces of gold. At least better than you guys going home empty-handed."
Gu Long stroked his beard, second-guessing what kind of decision Xin Chen would make. In reading Gu Long's mind was indeed very expert, therefore there were so many people who were fooled by him. And they themselves do not have any evidence to show the form of crime so far.
"I don't need this beetle either, actually I wanted to give him all along with the demon corpse..."
"I'll gladly accept it," Gu Long interrupted. Didn't want to waste the opportunity if at any time Xin Chen would change his mind. There was a small grunt next to Xin Chen, it seemed that Wei Feng still could not accept his kind attitude towards Gu Long.
Sure enough, Xin Chen handed the golden beetle to Gu Long, making the two corners of the man's lips expand wide very happily. Didn't expect that today he would get this much money for free.
"Good, with these money I can increase my strength with those resources..." Gu Long could not imagine how he could spend these thousands of gold pieces alone. Moreover, now his body had entered the late stage 2 Great Swordsman level.
With the help of resources, he could at least accelerate such progress. A sneaky smile stamped on his face, making Xin Chen slightly look away with disgust.
"You are very kind, young warrior. I will truly remember the kindness of your heart."
"Then we're out of here."
The two of them left just like that, Gu Long watched the beetles in his hands happily. The beauty of the beetle would bring even more money to Gu Long.
Meanwhile when they were already some distance away from Gu Long, Wei Feng came back to sniff, "You're this-! What the fuck is giving beetles and stealth for free! You think it's easy to catch those animals?!"
Xin Chen raised next to his eyebrows, assuming Wei Feng's speech was a little mistaken.
"Sister Wei," Xin Chen's voice then.
"What?" Wei Feng turned his gaze the other way as he was fed up with Xin Chen.
"You think I'm really good as old Gu Long said?"
Wei Feng's eyeballs rolled towards the back, somewhat surprised to find a small mess was brewing as they were already some distance away from where Gu Long was standing.
The man fell unconscious just like that after inhaling the poison from the beetle wings he was holding. Making the disciples behind him panic and immediately bringing him inside the hall.
"It was in return for deceiving both of us" Xin Chen said. He smiled for a while while revealing a demonic look. It almost made Wei Feng surge from where he stood.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Wei Feng reflexes. Surrounding the surroundings strangely and finding no answer why Xin Chen put on such a horrible face.
"Wait a minute here, I'll be back in three minutes."
Xin Chen simply disappeared from Wei Feng's eyes, like a ghost wandering around unseen.
Had Wei Feng not realized he was in the territory of people maybe now he wanted to shout. It had been since yesterday again, he was inexhaustible with this little young man named Xin Chen.
Wei Feng himself did not care much about where Xin Chen came from, nor did he even know that the child was the son of a swordsman whose name was already famous all over. In the Wei Empire back then, he had never found a child like Xin Chen.
At a very young age he has shown his nature as a natural fighter, not taking into account every movement in his swordplay and fighting by instinct alone.
After knowing Xin Chen could control the energy change and also having a dragon as a pet this time Wei Feng came back startled when he knew Xin Chen also had the ability to disappear.
"Ah... That kid, he's so unreasonable." Wei Feng exhaled a small breath, although never praising Xin Chen so blatantly but inwardly he was quite impressed with his abilities. It was also unthinkable for Wei Feng that if he had such a disappearing stance, he could quite well avoid the people who often came to collect his debts.
Not so long ago, Wei Feng's expression again changed when he saw Xin Chen return with a sack of gold.
"I think your brain has a problem with Little Devil, already avenged him by making Gu Long faint and you took the money instead..."
Xin Chen held back his smile, taking out some jade that was quite expensive. He had also managed to retrieve some of Gu Long's precious treasures before leaving the hall. Wei Feng swallowed his resignation. She added. "And the precious stones too."
Just as Wei Feng was twitching his head in pain, Xin Chen was now laughing as he pointed out some resources such as pills and herbs that had entered into his pocket.
"And the resources too?!" Wei Feng's face reddened in wrath, already out of sense seeing Xin Chen's behavior. According to him this was already too nosy to prank a small sect like them.
