Chapter 78 - Movements of the Coiling Dragon

Shortly after leaving the Nan Shan base hospital, Lin Feng used his soul force to feel, and could sense people behind him. His trip until now had only been a short one.

However the person behind him didn’t have fluctuations of soul energy, but since pract.i.tioners could suppress their energy, he didn’t know if the person that had followed him was a pract.i.tioner or not.

Lin Feng thought that he didn’t have any enemies in the Nan Shan base, and even if he did injure Feng Shi in the Tian Heng mountains, Feng Shi wouldn’t be able to get here so quickly to get revenge. This was the Nan Shan base, which wasn’t in the Dong Shan base’s sphere of influence. Even if Feng Shi sent people to look for Lin Feng, he would have issues.

Thinking things through, Lin Feng turned around. Behind him stood the person that spoke to him, and no longer following him, he stood right in front of Lin Feng.

“Who are you, what do you want with me?”

The man in front of Lin Feng was well proportioned and around thirty years old. He had a somewhat dark face and short hair, but an honest looking face.

However Lin Feng didn’t judge people by appearance, as you couldn’t tell the nature of a person by their face. Some people seemed honest, but really had a lot of dirty schemes. Some people could look evil, but really be nice on the inside.

“Little brother, could I have a word with you?”

The man heard Lin Feng’s question and politely responded.

The man’s att.i.tude towards Lin Feng was polite, as if he came here to discuss something with him. And he seemed to fear Lin Feng becoming upset, and spoke very cautiously.

“If there’s nothing to be ashamed of, then you can tell me what you want to here.”

Lin Feng didn’t know what the other party had up his sleeve, so he didn’t dare take him lightly, even if he was polite.

Lin Feng hadn’t seen this person before, and was followed for some time, and then pulled over and asked for some time, now matter who it was that would be considered suspicious.

Now Lin Feng had a lot of white crystals. He also had a lot of secrets on his body, so Lin Feng had to be cautious.

“Well, how about we talk over there were there are fewer people?”

When he saw Lin Feng’s caution, he looked over to a different area, and told Lin Feng.

Following his line of sight, Lin Feng saw an area between two shops. There were fewer people there and was more suitable for talking.

While still hesitant, Lin Feng nodded to the man.

Lin Feng was on one of Nan Shan base’s busiest streets, and even though it was lax in its control over cultivators, the rule on no fighting was still enforced. Those who break that rule will be punished. No matter if they were human or cultivator, they had to follow the rules of the base.

The distance wasn’t far, and they walked to the s.p.a.ce in front of the shops quickly.

“Little bro, I haven’t seen you in the Nan Shan base before, have you come here recently?”

In the area, before Lin Feng said anything, the man asked Lin Feng a question.

As he asked the question, the man stared into Lin Feng’s eyes, making sure he wasn’t lying.

“Just a short while ago I came here, but what is with these questions?”

Lin Feng really didn’t like the question, and gave a bad expression.

Lin Feng didn’t want to respond, but the man had been following him. Lin Feng didn’t want the man to continue following him so he decided to talk to him here.

&ldq

uo;Just asking casually, heh heh”

Hearing the response and seeing the expression, the man could tell that Lin Feng wasn’t happy with the question, but continued to ask.

“Its only….”

The man starts to speak, but hesitates, looking at Lin Feng’s expression, afraid to say more.

“Hurry up and say what you want to say, I have things I need to do. If you are done, then I’ll leave first.”

Lin Feng frowns, thinking that this man was a little off.

First the man follows him, then asks to talk about something and hesitates over saying his deal.

Lin Feng didn’t want to waste his time with useless conversation and turned around to go.

“Little brother, please don’t leave me.”

Seeing Lin Feng turn around to leave, the man becomes anxious and grabs his arm, hurriedly saying.

“Before I wanted to ask you, the bracelet around your wrist, how do you obtain it?”

Apparent that he had steeled his resolve and finally said what was in his mind. After he asked he fixed his eyes on Lin Feng.

Hearing the words, Lin Feng understood clearly, and looked at the bracelet on his wrist, thinking that the man wanted this bracelet.

The bracelet was obtained in Zhan Lang base, before Ling Nanshan died he gave it to Lin Feng. Lin Feng thought maybe it was simple jewelry and put it on his wrist, disregarding it. If the man hadn’t brought it up today, then Lin Feng might have already forgotten about this matter.

“Someone gave it to me, what’s the problem?”

Taking the opportunity, Lin Feng looked closely at the coiling dragon bracelet.

It was a shiny black and looked like wood. Its greatest characteristic was that each bead had an engraving of a golden dragon hovering around a pillar, lifelike. The bracelet had twelve of these beads, with each dragon having a different demeanor. Before his attention was drawn to it, Lin Feng only thought that this was a pretty bracelet.

“This bracelet looks like my friends, that’s why I’m asking.”

The man heard Lin Feng’s response and had a glow in his eyes, but gave an odd response.

The response caused Lin Feng to curl his lip. Ling Nanshan was eighty years old, and the man in front of him didn’t seem more than thirty. Saying that the owner of the bracelet was his friend, Lin Feng wouldn’t believe it even if it killed him.

But the man’s next words caused Lin Feng to stop ridiculing him in his mind.

“Does little brother know that this bracelet is called the Coiling Dragon Bracelet”

(Pan Long Chuan 盘龙串)

Seeing Lin Feng’s expression, the man knew that Lin Feng didn’t believe him, so he spoke the bracelet’s name directly.

Hearing the man call out the name out of the blue gave Lin Feng a shock in his heart. It also gave raise to many questions in his mind.

Ling Nanshan was someone from the Zhan Lang base, and the man in front of Lin Feng was clearly someone from the Nan Shan base, and had been here for a long time. How did he know about the bracelet?

Ling Nanshan was a normal person, if he was a cultivator he wouldn’t have died of illness. He was a normal person, and he was so old that it would be impossible for him to run one hundred kilometers to the Nan Shan base. And the man started to follow him from quite a distance. Since he was able to recognize the bracelet from such a distance, he had to be very familiar with it.

And since Lin Feng had met him, the man had been very polite, a politeness that was very difficult to fake.

What kind of secret did this bracelet hold? Lin Feng started to ask himself.

“Little brother said that you had received this bracelet from someone, do you happen to know the name of that person?”

The man saw that Lin Feng didn’t speak and opened his mouth to ask once more, wearing an excited expression.

“Ling Nanshan!”

After thinking about it a little, Lin Feng spoke the name.

To put it bluntly, Lin Feng and Ling Nanshan didn’t have a deep friendship, they were only friendly acquaintances, and it wasn’t like Lin Feng needed to defend the name until death. Moreover, since Lin Feng had received the bracelet, how could he make up a fake name and disrespect Ling Nanshan.

“I pay respects to the Sect Master!”

Hearing Lin Feng say Ling Nanshan’s name, the man was unusually excited, and with a face wild with joy he knelt down in front of Lin Feng.
