Capítulo 20: Chapter 20: A friend? A rival? (1/2)

Observing Tang San, Feng replied after a few seconds " Hum, yes, I need a pair of gloves for my brother who fights using claws. My name is Leng Feng and he is Leng Beibei. "

This Tang San here didn't emit any kind of trustworthy or whatnot vibe, but his hands, shoulders, and observations earlier were enough to make Feng believe that he really was a blacksmith. That and the fact that he should be that last person that has the right to judge people based on their age.

Going back to the conversation, Tang San smiled kindly and took out a pair of gloves out of nowhere. No, out of his belt. It was quite impressive that someone that looked so… common had a spatial artifact as they are rare. But no matter, the most important thing right now is the pair of black gloves that were taken out.

They looked well made, that was all Feng could say about them. But Tang San gave the necessary explanations. " These are gloves that I made recently. They were originally for a friend of mine with a beast spirit but he refused them (because of his pride maybe). Anyway, they can take quite a punch and conduct spirit power well. Furthermore, the finger part is open for claws to be unobstructed. "

It was Beibei's time to chime in " Hmm okay, can I try them? "

Still smiling, Tang San gave the gloves to Beibei who put them on. They fit quite well. Then, he activated his spirit and his ice claws came out, along with his fur and exclaimed " Ehh? With my fur, the claws seem custom made with how they fit!!! " While saying this, he gave a few practice swings in the air.

His ice claws seemed normal but their coldness increased. Furthermore, the weight was almost negligible. Then, he gave Feng a glance, who understood the meaning and punched with 30% strength at Beibei's opened palm.

It made Beibei slide a few meters but his hand and the glove were fine nonetheless. This greatly impressed the twins. Tang San was also impressed, but for another reason. As a genius martial artist, he was impressed by Feng's power as he was sure that just one of these blows could knock him out cold and was impressed by Beibei who was able to position himself so as to perfectly take it.

' These twins... Leng Feng is strong, and Leng Beibei... is a genius! These two will be quite something in the future '

Satisfied with the gloves, Beibei looked at Tang San and asked " I will take them, how much will it cost? "

Thinking for a bit, he answered " You can have them for free if you can do me a favor. " The last part was said while looking at Feng. Slightly stunned, Feng and Beibei looked at each other then Feng said " That will depend on what kind of favor you want, and, said favor shouldn't be too bothersome. After all, we have enough money to buy similar products. "

" Ohh, don't worry, I don't believe it should be anything too bothersome. First I will have to ask you two questions. First is, how long will you stay here, and second is: what is this weird aura emanating from you? "

Shaking his head, Feng replied " These are not the kind of information I would give to a stranger for no reason. So you tell me what you want first, then we can talk. "

Not expecting a kid to be so... untrustful, Tang San was stunned for a second before forming a wry smile and saying " Well, earlier, when we passed by you, I felt a kind of revigoring aura coming from you. Then after talking about it with my master, who also felt it, we came to the conclusion that it could help him because he is sick and stuck in his cultivation, but under the influence of your aura, he said that he felt somehow better.

I won't go into too many details but all I want is for you to meet with him and try to help him. That's all I can ask for. " When he finished speaking, he bowed to Feng.

This was quite... unexpected. Thinking about it for a while and seeing that Tang San was very earnest and polite, Feng decided to help.

" Alright, I will try to see if I can do something, but I can't promise anything as this aura you're speaking about is not something I can control. "

Raising his head, Tang San thanked him and guided them to the inn he and his friends stayed in. It was another high-class inn of this city, in every way comparable to the one they chose.

Tang San entered and as they were walking towards a room, a girl with a long scorpion tail haircut ( I honestly don't know how to name it ) skipped towards Tang San and jumped in his embrace. " San'ge! Fatty ate everything again! Come with me to deal with him- huh? Who are those boys? "

Scratching his head in mild embarrassment, Tang San said " Err, Xiao Wu, please let me go. These two are Leng Feng and Leng Beibei, two brothers that I met while I was shopping. "

Turning towards the twins, he continued " This girl here is my sister Xiao Wu "

Then, as both parties greeted each other, Xiao Wu approached Feng while tilting her head and said " Woah~ It feels nice being next to you as if sunbathing while being lightly massaged! " Tang San quickly made her stand back, telling her to behave and apologized to the twins.

They didn't mind though, this reaction was a first but it wasn't unpleasant. Rather, it was interesting.

Not wanting to waste more of their time, Feng took the twins with him to his master's room, where the sick middle-aged man was sitting on a chair, writing a book.

Looking at them in surprise, he froze when he saw Feng but still stood up and while giving Tang San a slightly grateful but complicated gaze, presented himself

" Hello, my name is Yu xiao gang, or better known as the Grandmaster. "

This brought shock to Feng's paralyzed face... well, at least enough to make his eyes widen.

The Grandmaster, his idol. The one who made him the one he is now in a way. His book on spirit beasts was not only his favorite but also the one that he was the most interested in. He now stood in front of him.

He honestly didn't know how to react as this man was his idol but he didn't feel that impressed standing in front of him. Though, this made him want to accept Tang San's deal more than before.
