33 What Does My Aura Feel Like?

Zhu Long thought or a bit as he drank the tea. After finishing the tea, he stood up and looked towards Hou Ming with a slight smile and said,"Those were all the questions that I had in my mind. If Senior Brother Ming doesn't mind thenI shall take my leave. I need to resolve the matter within the Qiang Village quickly as I have other places to be. I hope Senior Brother doesn't mind.."

Hou Ming smiled as he heard Zhu Long's words. It seemed like He had expected Zhu Long to say that. He only shook his head and smiled,"Little brother Lin, you can go finish your matters in the Qiang Village, you can even take Little Ku with you. But I hope my identity is kept a secret. It would be a hassle if my location is known to others especially if that person who we are searching for finds out."

"I wouldn't have even thought of telling others about Senior Brother's location, there is no worry. I shall go and talk to Brother Ku then I will head towards the Village head's mansion to talk to him and possibly save him if he is in danger." Zhu Long knew Hou Ming's circumstance so he hadn't thought of telling others about him anyways. 

Just as Zhu Long was about to leave, Hou Ming spoke,"Little Brother Lin, I do have one question for you… Who are you?" Hou Ming looked into Zhu Long's cold eyes trying to search for an answer. In Hou Ming's eyes, Zhu Long had come to the Qiang Village out of thin air, won a spar with the second Elder of the village, Qaing Tian Kuang who was at the peak of 1st Nascent Stage. He then proceeded to act as a bait to lure out the Imp hidden within Elder Kong's Fortress by drinking poisoned tea knowing well that it was poison because he was confident that his body would reject the poison. After luring the Imp, Zhu Long killed the Mid-Level Nascent Stage Imp and continued on his way towards The east in search of the Village Head. On his way, Zhu Long had even got in a vicious and brutal battle with a powerful Demon Beast, where both were severely injured. He had then proceeded to head his way towards the mansion acting like nothing had happened. The crazy thing was that all of this happened within the same day!

"That… Like Senior Brother Ming himself, I cannot give away my identity but I'm sure that In the future, you will get to know.." Zhu Long answered mysteriously. Even though Hou mIng had expected that answer, there was still a small amount of disappointment in his eyes. He had truly wanted to know ZHu Long's true identity. 'I don't know why but I feel that I must keep my identity a secret. I mean, oldie always told me to keep my identity hidden as soon as I went out of the mansion. Except for disciples of the Zhu Sect, and the Higher members of the Royal Family, not many know my identity. I've always wondered why oldie did that..No matter, I shall ask him when I meet him. For now, I need to go and talk to Brother Ku and ask him about the Qiang Village head.' Zhu Long thought as he started to walk away from the balcony. Hou Ming only looked at his back for a few seconds and smiled.'This fellow seems to be more interesting than I thought. Even though I thought nothing of those markings on his Body, I'm starting to think that his identity is even deeper than mine..' Hou Ming speculated from the few things he had seen when observing Zhu Long, he had originally thought nothing of the Markings that had covered his body, merely thinking of it as a type of tattoo but after hearing that Zhu Long didn't want his identity revealed. Hou Ming shook his head remembering what Zhu Long had just told him,'I will just have to wait to know who he really is. Haha! I guess that Little Brother Lin is also feeling the same thing regarding my identity.'

Zhu Long walked out of the Mansion and walked towards the Center of the Garden. He saw Ku Wang writing on top of a large stone, silently playing the Zither. He smiled and quietly sat down in a meditative pose. He calmed his mind, thinking of nothing and started to meditate.

A few hours had passed.

Zhu Long opened his eyes to see Ku Wang standing in front of him. It seemed like Ku Wang had been waiting for Zhu Long to wake up from meditation. As soon as Zhu long had opened his eyes, he had sensed that Ku Wang's Aura was different. Without much thought, he smiled,"Congratulations Brother Ku! It seems like you have made a breakthrough"

Ku Wang seemed shocked by ZHu Long,"I wonder how Brother Lin found out that I had made a breakthrough without me even telling you.. It seems like Brother Lin has some hidden abilities to see cultivation levels." He smiled warmly towards Zhu Long knowing that even though the man in front couldn't use qi, he had a lot of secrets hidden, which would also explain how powerful he was with just his physical body.

"It's not a hidden skill to see cultivation levels, I can only feel a type of aura emanating from Brother Ku's body and this time, the aura from your body seemed to be more powerful so I had made the guess that You have made a breakthrough. Nothing else." ZHu Long answered honestly.

Ku Wang seemed surprised by Zhu Long's words, he looked into Zhu Long's eyes in search of his secrets and said,"I wonder, can you describe the aura that comes from me? I'm only curious…"

Zhu Long smiled mysteriously ,"Brother Ku's aura is very gentle and warm. When I get close to you, I feel very comfortable, away from any harm. It's due to Brother Ku's aura that I  had instantly trusted you and had started to meditate without concern over my safety. But, even though Brother Ku had a very gentle aura, There is a fiery aura hidden within the depths of your eyes. I had first seen that when you were telling me the situation of your friend and about how her freedom was taken since birth. Those flames of hatred felt like they could never be extinguished, Just like the flames of a phoenix." He explained truthfully.

Ku Wang's face was filled with embarrassment but then quickly said," I thank you brother Lin but i do have to say a few things, I'm happy to the fact that Brother Lin feels comfortable around me but I do have to say that I don't align with those preferences, I prefer women. That doesn't mean that I don't understand and accept that Brother Lin's preferences in fact, I will accept Brother Lin for who he is.." His face had a hint of concern on it as he looked towards Zhu Long.

Zhu Long, who was mostly quick witted, had to process what Ku Wang had just said a few times in his mind. He suddenly understood what Ku Wang had said and angrily said,"I hope brother Ku stops his jokes, I also prefer women, It's just that Brother Ku's aura was kind and I felt that you were trustworthy, nothing else." 

Ku Wang started to laugh when he heard Zhu Long,"Brother Lin know what you were trying to say, I was merely trying to have some fun." Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
