Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Eccentric and Unusual People

“I travel the world and never compete with others, so it’s natural that you haven’t heard of me,” Wang Ping casually replied, and then counter-questioned, “On the contrary, Yuan, you are incredibly talented, and few can compare to you. I have never heard of you either, which is quite strange.”
“Uh…” Yuan Xia choked up.
Being counter-questioned was indeed a subtle feeling.
“Like Mr. Wang, I also travel the world and never compete with others, so my reputation isn’t prominent.” Yuan Xia then shook his fan and said with a smile, “I came to Black Wind Forest for experience this time; I wonder if Mr. Wang would be interested in accompanying me.”
Hearing this, Wang Ping looked at Yuan Xia, shook his head, and said, “As I mentioned earlier, I don’t like competing with others. And by the way, Yuan, isn’t your behavior a bit too effeminate?”
“Really?”
Yuan Xia was slightly taken aback, and then his face flushed red.
“How dare you accuse our young master of being effeminate!”
Seeing Wang Ping say this, the maidservant beside Yuan Xia couldn’t sit still and scolded him.
These words made Yuan Xia frown and glance at her.
She immediately kept quiet.
“I apologize, she’s somewhat ignorant. Mr. Wang doesn’t have to take her words to heart,” Yuan Xia said, looking at Wang Ping, then coughed lightly and rolled his eyes at Wang Ping, adding, “But Mr. Wang, your previous words were indeed excessive; where did I act effeminately?”
Looking at Yuan Xia’s demeanor and eyes, Wang Ping felt even more bizarre.
Yuan Xia’s facial expressions, actions, and tone were indeed a bit too feminine, making him quite odd.
Could the person in front of him be a young lady from a prominent family or a leader of a big sect, pretending to be a man and wandering around in Jianghu?
This idea flashed through Wang Ping’s mind.
At this moment, there were discussions amongst other diners.
“Bai Tianhong, the disciple of Sword Spirit Sect, is really extraordinary. Not long ago, he killed an Innate Realm expert.”
“I’ve also heard about this. Rumors say that an old Innate Realm expert tried to assassinate him, but he ended up killing him.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, Bai Tianhong is just eighteen years old and has already reached the 10th-tier peak of the Post-Heaven Realm. He can even slay experienced Innate Realm experts, making him a real monster.”
“Yeah, Bai Tianhong is truly an exceptional genius. Even the Ancestor of Xia
Country once said that if Bai Tianhong doesn’t fall midway, he will become a
Transcendent Realm Master in the future.’
“I dare say that Bai Tianhong is the strongest among the younger generation.
No one from the three countries can compare to him.”
“Bai Tianhong is indeed extraordinary, but he still falls short of my young…master.”
Seeing other diners talk like this, Yuan Xia’s maid glared and countered.
“Hehe, your young master is pale and delicate, clearly not strong. How can he compare to Bai Tianhong?”
“Exactly, if he were really that powerful, we wouldn’t have never heard of him.”
“Little girl, you shouldn’t be talking nonsense.”
The other diners couldn’t help but glance at Yuan Xia and tease him when they heard this.
In their opinion, Yuan Xia was just a handsome young man, not even comparable to Bai Tianhong.
Comparing him to Bai Tianhong was an insult to Bai Tianhong.
“How dare you speak about my master like this!” The maid glared angrily, her palm filled with True Qi, ready to attack.
Seeing the True Qi in the maid’s palm, the other diners were all shocked.
Such a young maid already possessed a Post-Heaven Realm cultivation, which was terrifying.
This was just the maid; one could hardly imagine the noble identity and power of her master.
For a moment, those who had just spoken turned pale and showed panic.They offended these people, even if they were beaten and killed, there would be no place to seek justice.
“Dong’er, don’t cause trouble.” Seeing the maid preparing to take action, Yuan Xia frowned and said.
“But, Master, they insulted you…” The maid’s face was full of grievances.
“If this is considered an insult, then wouldn’t I have to kill everyone wherever I go?” Yuan Xia taught: “We are here to gain experience, not to harm others without understanding the situation.”
“I was wrong.” Seeing Yuan Xia angry, the maid could only lower her head and not dare to refute.
Although her Master was usually gentle and treated her well, she knew the importance of hierarchy and did not dare to talk back to her Master.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Wang, for causing you any embarrassment.” After glancing at her, Yuan Xia spoke to Wang Ping. “Come on, let’s continue eating and drinking. I must get drunk with Mr. Wang today as we hit it off so well.”
The other diners also breathed a sigh of relief, showing grateful expressions towards Yuan Xia, quickly put down a few silver pieces, and left in a hurry without daring to stay any longer.
Wang Ping shook his head to show that he didn’t care, but he glanced at the maid Dong’er.
Those with noble status and exceptional talent are often arrogant, but Yuan Xia’s character is quite good, not being arrogant because of her talent, nor wantonly humiliating and killing others because of her noble status.
However, her maid’s temperament was a bit worse, the typical “my master is very powerful, and no one should insult her” attitude, and she also liked to randomly injure and kill others at will.
Of course, no matter how bad Dong’er’s temperament was, it had nothing to do with Wang Ping.
Next, Yuan Xia continuously engaged Wang Ping in various conversations, very enthusiastically.
After they finished eating and drinking, Wang Ping returned to his room.
“Young Master, this Wang Ping is not simple.”
After Wang Ping went upstairs, the Old Woman who had not spoken finally opened her mouth.
“Oh? How do you know?” Yuan Xia, who had drunk some wine and had a slightly flushed face, asked curiously while shaking her fan.
In Xia Country, there were not many people who could be evaluated as ‘not simple’ by the Old Woman, most of them were top talents.
“He gives me a feeling of danger. It seems as if I would vanish from the world as soon as I fought with him,” said the Old Woman with profound eyes.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xia was surprised.
Dong’er, the maid standing beside her, also opened her mouth wide in disbelief.
How could it be, the Old Woman was at Spiritual Realm cultivation!
A person who could make a Spiritual Realm Expert feel dangerous was absolutely a Spiritual Realm Expert as well!
Previously, she had underestimated Wang Ping and thought that her Master’s initiative to befriend him was an honor for a small person like Wang Ping. She found it hateful that Wang Ping had been indifferent to her Master. She never expected the Old Woman’s evaluation of Wang Ping to be so high.
It should be said that it was extremely terrifying.
“He’s a Spiritual Realm Expert? But looking at his appearance, isn’t he too young?” Yuan Xia said in surprise.
“A cultivator’s age cannot be judged by their appearance. Two hundred years of lifespan for Innate Realm and three hundred years for Spiritual Origin Realm. Based on his appearance, he seems to be around twenty, but his actual age may be sixty or seventy,” reminded the Old Woman, shaking her head.
“You’re right,” Yuan Xia nodded, exclaiming, “For a sixty or seventy-year-old Spiritual Realm Expert, even though their talent may not be as good as mine or
Bai Tianhong’s, they are definitely the most talented person below us both.”
She and Bai Tianhong were confident that they could break through to the Spiritual Origin Realm before the age of forty. Wang Ping, at sixty or seventy years old, was indeed not on par with her and Bai Tianhong.
However, it was still impressive enough.
After all, in today’s Xia, even counting the older generation experts and hidden experts, there were no more than two hundred Spiritual Realm Experts.
There were only about a hundred Spiritual Realm Experts in the open.
Considering that Spiritual Realm Experts had a lifespan of three hundred years, one could imagine how difficult it was to break through to the Spiritual Origin Realm.
The Old Woman nodded and praised, “We just came out not long ago, and we have already met such an unknown Spiritual Realm genius. There are indeed countless remarkable people in this world..”
