Dragon's Origin

“Of course!” Wang Sheng answered without even thinking, “There are at least dozens of eyes staring at me in the Marquis's residence every day, you know what I mean.”

“What about outside the residence?” The old Taoist asked again.

“There are even more outside.” Wang Sheng smiled, “It’s just that I haven’t been out for a while recently, so they probably can’t even keep an eye on me!”

“In the Old Lord Temple, I sensed the aura of a master from the Divine Might Prison from decades ago.” The old Taoist said with some worry, “Decades ago, this old assassin was at the same level as me back then. Now that he’s come to the capital, I don’t know if his target is you.”

A master from the Divine Might Prison? Wang Sheng immediately became interested. You have to know that when the old Taoist was dabbling in things decades ago, he was already a legendary red-card assassin in Worry-Free City. One can imagine what the cultivation level of this old assassin from the Divine Might Prison is.

Wang Sheng always felt that if a real master wanted to kill him, they wouldn’t need a legendary master. In a face-to-face situation, a fifth-level peak expert could beat him to a pulp. Although experts of higher realms had died at his hands before, it was conditional. Either he had a super expert like Lingxu Old Daoist by his side, or there were other environmental constraints. Purely in terms of strength, Wang Sheng was definitely not a match.

A master from the Divine Might Prison who was as famous as the old Taoist decades ago, you could guess with your ass how terrifying of an assassin he was. Such an assassin is here to kill him? Isn't that a bit of overkill? It's definitely using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

“Where is he?” Wang Sheng asked. Since the old Taoist could sense the other party’s aura, he would naturally be able to determine where the person was. As long as he could find the person, wouldn’t it be clear who the target was?

“I don’t know!” To Wang Sheng’s surprise, Lingxu Old Daoist actually shook his head directly. This was unprecedented. To be able to disappear without a trace under Lingxu Old Daoist’s nose, that was truly no ordinary expert.

“That guy has a habit. If he’s going to make a move in a place, he always reveals his aura in advance, as a greeting to the local snakes.” Lingxu Old Daoist seemed to be very clear about the old assassin’s habits, “The reason I could sense his aura was because he specifically went to the vicinity of the Old Lord Temple to show off, so that we could sense his aura, and then he disappeared in a flash.”

“I’m worried that the target might be you, so I came over to take a look.” After explaining, the old Taoist seemed to feel a little relieved.

This made Wang Sheng very touched. The old Taoist and Wang Sheng had known each other for so long that they could basically be considered close friends. As soon as he sensed the aura of an expert, he immediately came over to check on his safety. What more could you ask for from such a friend?

“Don’t you have friends in the royal family? Go ask if the royal family has sensed the aura.” The old Taoist instructed, “If the royal family also has, then the target is not the royal family. I’m afraid you’ll have to be careful during this time. Not in Worry-Free City, nor in Thousand Absolutes Land, this is the best time to kill you.”

Wang Sheng nodded, noted these things down, and planned to send someone to ask the neighbor across the street tomorrow.

After reminding Wang Sheng, the old Taoist seemed a little relieved. After drinking two more cups, he suddenly smiled and asked, “These days, you’ve been living in luxury, with fine wine and beautiful women, and so many people are praising you to the heavens. How does it feel?”

It seemed that the old Taoist had learned about his situation to some extent, otherwise he wouldn’t know so clearly.

To this, Wang Sheng just smiled and answered calmly, “It’s all cultivation.”

In this Marquis’s residence, everyone from top to bottom acts according to Wang Sheng’s expression, not to mention that. Mei’er doesn’t easily tease Wang Sheng now, and almost obeys Wang Sheng’s orders. Countless people are envious and drooling.

The grandmasters and great grandmasters of the Exquisite Pavilion regard Wang Sheng’s ideas as treasures. So many great grandmasters and great experts are as well-behaved as elementary school students in front of Wang Sheng. Even the Pavilion Master of the Exquisite Pavilion probably doesn’t have this prestige, right?

The old Taoist was probably aware of these things, so he was somewhat vaguely worried about Wang Sheng, fearing that he would indulge in this environment of universal praise and be unable to extricate himself. If he continued to waste away like this, Wang Sheng’s state of mind would be greatly affected. Ordinary people probably couldn’t bear this kind of high-above, commanding vanity, and would easily lose themselves and become inflated.

Hearing Wang Sheng’s sentence “It’s all cultivation,” a gratified smile immediately appeared on the old Taoist’s face. This little friend had not disappointed him after all, and had not indulged in these things, but instead regarded them as cultivation.

What Lingxu Old Daoist didn’t know was that Wang Sheng was not only enjoying the praise of the servants of the Marquis’s residence, Mei’er and others, and the grandmasters and great grandmasters of the Exquisite Pavilion. In fact, even the current Emperor had a similar attitude towards Wang Sheng. Moreover, Lingxu Old Daoist had forgotten the most important person, and that was himself. Being in the situation, Lingxu Old Daoist himself had not seen it clearly.

With Lingxu Old Daoist’s cultivation and seniority, to be so unrestrained and joking with Wang Sheng, even the entire Old Lord Temple, from the Grand Master to the experts stationed there, all had similar attitudes. If such a situation were placed outside, countless experts would probably faint from excitement.

Yet Wang Sheng seemed to treat it as normal interpersonal interaction, never regarding these things as his glory, never being vain, and never showing off. Such a state of mind was actually not something that ordinary experts could achieve.

How many experts, after gaining some cultivation, would become arrogant and conceited. Like that Fourth Master Dai of the Dai family, in terms of cultivation, he wasn’t even worthy of carrying shoes for the experts Wang Sheng later encountered, but when he appeared, he was so domineering and powerful. The consequence of not being able to calm down was that his cultivation was almost impossible to improve, and he was shot in the head by Wang Sheng.

At least Wang Sheng seemed to be fine now, and the old Taoist was very satisfied. After chatting with Wang Sheng, the sky had already brightened. The old Taoist went to Qingling Old Daoist’s place to give some instructions before leaving. It wasn’t that the old Taoist didn’t want to stay and protect Wang Sheng, but there were many places in the Old Lord Temple that needed the old Taoist now, writing cultivation secrets and teaching cultivation, none of which could be done without him. He could only warn Wang Sheng to be careful and ask Qingling Old Daoist to pay more attention to Wang Sheng’s safety.

That morning, Wang Sheng sent someone to deliver a letter to Steward Zhou at the neighbor's house across the street. In the afternoon, Steward Zhou's reply was delivered to the Marquis's residence.

The experts on the royal family’s side had also sensed the expert’s aura.

Even the royal family had been alerted, so it seemed that the target wasn’t someone from the royal family. Wang Sheng’s heart also began to become more and more vigilant. A top legendary assassin from the Divine Might Prison suddenly appearing in the capital was not a fun thing.

However, soon, Wang Sheng’s attention was drawn to another matter. The lacking sword sheath of Master Wu’s sword was finally completed, and then Master Wu personally brought the precious sword and delivered it to Wang Sheng’s residence.
