Chapter 455: Entering A Town (2)

/*unedited*/

A bustling town lies before his eyes as Shin Jiao enters after lining up and getting checked by the guards at the gate. Merchants selling their wares and their patrons are all over the place. He can tell that the town is prosperous and peaceful for some reason. Unlike those towns he has been before, this big Yungaw town is actually not too bad.

Shin Jiao follows Wen Mo Yang as the two walk down the busy road. Every now and then a carriage would pass by with those noble families inside that would take a peek from time to time to see what is being sold on the streets.

The happy and busy atmosphere can make one feel that Yungaw town is an amazing town lead by someone who knows how to keep the peace.

Wen Mo Yang has introduced to Shin Jiao about the town and he found it really fascinating. It is an old town, with hundreds of years of history. The town is divided into 2 parts, the settlement for the mortals which is at the West, and the settlement for the cultivators which is on the east of the town. In the middle of it are a wall and the huge town hall where the officials of the town work.

The two arrive at a modest size courtyard with gray tiled rooftop. The house at the end of the courtyard has two floors and Shin Jiao can see many people inside busily doing their chores.

Wen Mo Yang approaches the door and knocks on it.

A middle-aged man opens the door slightly and peeks out. When he saw who is knocking at the door, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Young… young miss… Young miss you are back! Oh my! You've grown more beautiful, it's been a long time." The man said as he opens the door and held Wen Mo Yang's soft hands.

However, he pauses upon seeing a handsome young man standing behind Wen Mo Yang. But the middle-aged man regained his composure and led the two inside the courtyard.

"The master and mistresses are inside… please." The man said as he walks in front.

"The young mistress is back! The young mistress is back!" a shout coming from the courtyard echoed through the air.

This shout gained the attention of everyone who is busy with their jobs. Then a happy expression appears on their faces as they ran towards the outer courtyard.

When they saw Wen Mo Yan, they showed happy faces. But everyone is smiling.

Shin Jiao can see some people frowning and sneering at the sight of Wen Mo Yang. Though he didn't know why these people are showing such expression he didn't care. He is in this place to find his way to the kingdom of Yi.

From his talk with Wen Mo Yang, he found out that in the city where she is studying, there is a teleportation portal to the main city of Si kingdom. He didn't know how far he can travel using the main teleportation portal, but he needs to try.

"My youngest daughter, you're back!" cried out a man in his 40's.

The man is wearing a simple gray robe and his face has a long gray beard. Following behind him are three women who look like in their 30's. Shin Jiao can see that they are cultivators but their cultivation is only at the spirit refining realm.

In fact, everyone in this courtyard is a cultivator. But their cultivation level is low that it is negligible for him to pay attention to.

So he just stood behind Wen Mo Yan as the later suddenly ran towards her father and gave him a warm hug. He can feel that the relationship between the young woman and her father is very close. But he can also feel a sense of animosity from two of the women following behind the man.

One of them is showing a sneer on her face. She suddenly gazes at Shin Jiao and her eyes lit up.

 Seeing that Shin Jiao has no spiritual undulation, she scowled deep in her heart and wanted to take this opportunity to slight Wen Mo Yang.

"Oh, my… what do we have here? Wen Mo Yang, you came to study in a big city but instead of studying you brought a man." The woman said with a gentle smile.

"Oh, isn't he just a mortal?" she then added.

When Wen Mo Yang heard this, sweat suddenly forms in her brow. She wanted to slap the face of this stupid concubine of her father. She didn't know if Shin Jiao would be offended by those words, because if he is, then she can only pray that her family would be spared.

"Master Jiao, please forgive my concubine mother… she is just a foolish woman." She said while cupping her hand towards Shin Jiao.

Her action gained the attention of her father and immediately discovers the peculiarity of the situation. How can her daughter say those words to a mere mortal? As a man who has gained a lot of reputation and build his business through connections, the head of the Yang family immediately concluded that the young man is not that simple.

He threw a sharp gaze to his 2nd concubine, which made the woman turned scared. Although she didn't know what is happening, she is afraid of her husband.

"Master Jiao, this is my father, Guang Yang. And this is mother, Yulian Ye… my 1st concubine mother, Ai Cho, and this is my 2nd concubine mother, Nalin li…" Wen Mo Yang introduces while giving a glaring eye at her 2nd concubine mother.

Shin Jiao didn't mind the insult as he was used to people looking down on him when he arrived in this world for the first time. Although, at that time he fought back because his cultivation level is too low, this time it's different.

A small dinner banquet was prepared for the family as they welcome the return of the youngest daughter of Guang Yang. Even some of their family members and friends attended this dinner banquet.

Shin Jiao just sits in one corner and didn't bother with them, he just enjoyed the dinner.

He has already asked about the town and the place he is in, and he would just travel back with Wen Mo Yang to Dongxi City and then take the teleportation portal from there.

As the dinner banquet continues the sudden appearance of a group of people made the atmosphere a bit heavy.

Two young men and an old man suddenly enter the courtyard of the Yangs. These people show smug look on their faces as their eyes roam all over the place. When one of them noticed Shin Jiao eating in the corner a smirk appears on his face.

The group continues towards the inner courtyard and was greeted by Guang Yang.

"Ah, the young masters of the Fah family. Welcome to my humble home… Please, make yourself at home." Guang Yang said with a fawning smile on his face.

The two young men showed smug looks on their faces as they took a seat followed by the expressionless old man.

"Master Yang, we just drop by when we heard that your daughter has returned from Dongxi city. Since Wen Mo and I have some connection when we were young, I just came here to see if she has really improved her cultivation. And seeing that she has reached the gold core realm, I guess your family will now have some footing in the town… Congratulations." One of the young men said with a smile.

When Wen Mo Yang heard this, she knew that things are not that simple. It seems that the Fah family is going to suppress them once again.

Ever since they came to the city and her father has grown his business in trades, the Fah family has become hostile towards them. However, his father is really good at grabbing opportunity hence their family has far surpassed the Fah in terms of wealth and connection.

But the Fah family has its own cultivators which they hire to protect the family, or sometimes, bully others.

"Is that the only purpose of your visit young masters?" Wen Mo Yang suddenly said with a sneer.

She is not afraid of the three people who have the same cultivation level as her. However, she is just afraid that Shin Jiao would be implicated if there would be a fight to happen. But she didn't want to back down.

"Haha… straight forward as always. Well, we just came here to congratulate you all…" the young man said.

When his gaze met with the 2nd concubine of Guang Yang, a flicker of craftiness appear in both of their eyes.

"I heard that you are keeping a mortal in your courtyard. I suggest you deliver that man to the other side of the wall. If the town authorities would hear about this, it would cause you trouble…"

"What are you talking about?" Wen Mo Yang suddenly stood up in anger.

"Oh, no worries about that sister Wen… Well, why don't you just let us take care of him? We can send him to the other side where those lowly mortals live."

"You are courting death! I would let you slander my guess." She said in anger.

"Oh, so I guess it is true about the rumor about you having a mortal lover… this is too disappointing. I actually fancy you, Sister Wen. If you want I can propose marriage to your Yang family and our Fah family… what do you think?" the young man said with a grin.

Seeing his wicked grin, Wen Mo Yang's expression immediately changes into anger. She extended her hand to the side.. She no longer wanted to banter with words to these shameless bastards.
