Chapter 45 Ning Xi

Shen Yu was talking with Li Hai when a red headed woman blocked their path. She held a big gourd of bottle in her hand and seemed drunk. She looked at Li Hai and then the trio.

Li Hai tensed up slightly seeing the woman and bowed.

"Greetings, Manager. I didn't know you were back."

"It's fine. So What's the work?"

"These three wants to register their sect."

"I see, you can go. I'll see everything from here on."

Although Li Hai was confused as to why the tyrant of a manager was doing his job, he didn't dare to ask. He simply nodded and ran away as if he didn't want to be in the woman's presence.

The red headed woman scoffed and looked at Shen Yu and others. Turning around, she said.

"Let's go, it's only a matter of seconds."

Shen Yu silently nodded his head and followed the manager along with Ying Yue and Xiao Lan. However, there was a light frown on his face.

'Why is she interested in us?'

"Take the seat, please. I hate formalities and all the pretending so let's just be frank with each other, is that okay with you?"

"We share same thoughts then. I'm rather awkward in conversation so I feel happy in talking with people like you."

Shen Yu smiled as he relaxed and sat on the sofa along with his wives, who hadn't said a word till now. They were just listening to everything.

Regarding that, Shen Yu could only sigh. Ying Yue behaved like a shadow so she didn't talk much and Xiao Lan wasn't a talkative person and especially hated to interact with others. It was as if she hated the world itself. He couldn't really blame her for that so he just let her be.

Ning Xi smiled and said.

"That's even better. You're the first person to say that to me, heh. Well, considering your strength it isn't much of a surprise. So, I'll ask my first question regarding that. Why is someone of your strength doing here?"

Her face grew serious as she continued.

"I want to know why someone from he Holy Lands is here in this small town. Because let me tell you something, I'll protect this town at any cost, even if it means dying. I know you're far superior to me but I don't care about all that."

The temperature of room began to increase as the air felt suffocating. Ning Xi sat on the chair with her aura spreading in the room, making the temperature high.

Shen Yu on the other hand was slightly confused. Why did the situation suddenly turned so serious? And what did he do to gain Ning Xi's hostility?

"Wait! What holy lands?"

"I see. You're right, you're from outside so how would you know? Well, that's what everyone from Qing Empire calls the world beyond Hollow Mountains since it's like a holy land for us. Anyways, do tell me why are you here because you certainly aren't from the Four Major Sects."

Ning Xi replied, calming down lightly seeing that Shen Yu wasn't reacting to her provocation.
