That night, Ling Yan and the Treasure Auction Association were building a camp and planning to spend the night.
Although the place is actually very dangerous because it is close to the forest of darkness, but all that will certainly be overcome with the strict escort of gold warriors from the Treasure Auction Association.
Now inside a tent built by the Association's bodyguards were seen Ling Yan and Gu Xingyi sitting face to face while eating the dishes provided on the table in front of the two.
No words or a word came out from within the mouths of the two at the moment, although Gu Xingyi was eager to open the conversation to avoid that awkwardness, actually, but he didn't know where to start the conversation.
Until finally Xiao Hu who also felt hungry, now got up and approached Ling Yan while swiping his body at Ling Yan.
"Miao..."
Ling Yan who saw that suddenly turned his gaze towards Xiao Hu and immediately understood what the little tiger wanted.
"Ahaha sorry Xiao Hu, I forgot to give you some food." Ling Yan chuckled lightly while taking out a level 1 fire element demon power core from within his grout ring.
"Here we go." Ling Yan then gave the demon power core to Xiao Hu and without a second thought Xiao Hu who had been waiting for him since had directly eaten it without hesitation.
Gu Xingyi who saw that suddenly widened his eyes in shock, although he had heard about what a magical beast was, but only this time he knew and saw with his own eyes that the magical beast was eating the essence of strength as its food.
"He.... did he eat the core of the demon power?" Gu Xingyi asked who still showed the same facial expression.
"Yes, do you have a problem with that." Ling Yan answered the question of the girl before him coldly.
"Emm no, it's not like that young master, it's just that this time I saw a magical beast eating a core of stealth power as its food." Gu Xingyi replied with a cautious tone.
Although Ling Yan did look like an ordinary young man in general, but after the incident some time ago Gu Xingyi realized that Ling Yan was not a young man as simple as he looked.
Indeed Gu Xingyi was unable to sense the fighting aura Ling Yan possessed, yet he was so certain that the young man before him must have power over him.
Besides, Gu Xingyi was also not a fool who dared to offend someone especially if that person he did not know his background at all.
Shortly after, Gu Xingyi reopened the conversation to avoid the awkwardness that seemed like it was going to happen again.
"Hmm young master, first of all I want to apologize for the sassiness of my previous bodyguards." Said Gu Xingyi as he clenched both of his hands forward.
Although some time ago Ling Yan had said that he had forgiven them, but Gu Xingyi still thought that his apology was lacking.
"Have it, haven't I forgiven you guys since, why are you apologizing to me again, do you have this kind of apologizing hobby." Ling Yan replied casually.
Gu Xingyi could finally sigh in relief upon hearing those words from within Ling Yan's mouth. "Huhh fortunately he did not bother what had happened." His inner.
"That's right young master, forgive me for not introducing myself earlier, my name is Gu Xingyi, I am one of the largest shareholders of the Treasure Auction Association in Feng's empire." Answer Gu Xingyi.
Ling Yan who heard Gu Xingyi's reply suddenly understood and knew where she was at the moment. "It turns out that I'm currently in Feng's empire, but how did I get this far." Ling Yan muttered in his mind.
"Actually me and the Association troupe were traveling towards Bufeng city (imperial capital Feng) to visit the Association branch we established there, but we accidentally met the young master here." It was clearly Gu Xingyi who seemed to be stopping the conversation for a moment.
And after a while, Gu Xingyi resumed her sentence. "Oh yes, young master, what exactly is the young master doing around the dark forest area?" Ask Gu Xingyi again.
Actually Gu Xingyi was so afraid to ask the young man before her, but being so curious, she threw away her fear and tried to ask him back.
Ling Yan who heard that now stopped his activities and turned his attention to the woman before him.
Ling Yan could see the expression on the woman's face that looked so calm, but it was actually behind all that at this moment cold sweat was pouring down all over her body.
"Hmm how to explain it yes, I am actually a Wei imperial person, I had entered the dark forest to hunt demons and took the core of his strength for Xiao Hu's food, he said, but somehow I got to this place." Ling Yan replied with his flat face expression.
Gu Xingyi again widened her eyes after hearing Ling Yan's words, "Hunting stealth within the dark forest, young master isn't kidding right?" Gu Xingyi asked to make sure.
Gu Xingyi was so distrustful of what she had just heard, how not, no, no swordsman ever managed to get out safely from the dark forest without having the slightest injury on his body.
"Does my face look like I'm joking." Ling Yan replied that with the same facial expression.
Gu Xingyi seemed to notice the expression on the young man's face as if searching for truth or lies from Ling Yan's countenance, but he was unable to read Ling Yan's expression that looked so flat.
"The expression on this young man's face was so flat, that I couldn't even read a shred of what he was thinking, but if what he said was true, then this young man at least had the strength of a holy swordsman." Inner Gu Xingyi who had already thought too far.
If only he had known that Ling Yan only had the strength of a 9-star diamond swordsman and had just come out from the deepest part of the dark forest, he would probably have spewed blood from within his mouth by now.
"Hmm, if you still don't believe me, then I'll prove what I say to you." Ling Yan said before taking Gu Xingyi out from inside the tent followed by Xiao Hu who had just exhausted his core of strength..
Gu Xingyi who saw that suddenly moved from her seat and followed Ling Yan from behind. "He'll show you what." His inner.
Arriving outside the tent, Ling Yan then stopped his steps and turned his gaze back towards Gu Xingyi.
"Did Miss Gu ever see a level 1 fire ape demon?" Ling Yan asked Gu Xingyi.
"Hmm yes, I see it very often, but.if not wrong the fire ape demon is a demon that lives in groups, in groups, but I've never seen him in more than 5 tails." Answer Gu Xingyi.
Actually Gu Xingyi was a bit confused and wondered in her mind why the young man was asking about it, but after some time later.
