"Just you wait here! I will see if you can stand on your feet after I'm back!" said the blonde guy while he ran out embarrassingly.
"That wasn't wise, young man. He's the younger brother of Xu Cha" said the old man with concern on his face.
'Another Stupid Idiot. *Sighed* Just because he is the younger brother of who knows' thought Feng Zhen as he stared at the hall entrance.
After a moment, Feng Zhen shifted his gaze to the old man and asked politely, "Don't mind me asking, but who is this Xu Cha of a person".
Just then, for a moment, the entire hall fell dead silent.
"I see you're not from this city, young man. You see, Xu Cha is an inner court disciple of the Zuigao Sect" said the old man as he broke the dead silent hall.
'Zuigao Sect, What a ridiculous name for a sect in this Realm. If a sect in this Realm is called a Zuigao Sect, then one of the top sects of the God Realm would be called Zuigao God Eternal Sect. Nah, That name is too ridiculous ' thought Feng Zhen.
When the old man saw Feng Zhen pondering about something, the old man thought Feng Zhen was afraid, so he quickly added, "Although Xu Cha is an inner sect disciple, that doesn't mean he would kill you for hurting his brother, so don't be afraid. In fact, there are some few other sects that you could take refuge under"
"Eh!" exclaimed Feng Zhen in surprise when he heard what the old man said.
Immediately the old man saw the startled expression of Feng Zhen, he thought his Feng Zhen was happy about the suggestion he brought, so he leaned forward and quickly brought his mouth closer to the ear of Feng Zhen and whispered, "In fact, It was recently heard that an Ancestor from the Saint Sword Sect has broken through from the peak stage of the King Realm to the Emperor Transformation Stage Realm after Ten years of seclusion"
After the old man finished his whispering, Feng Zhen stood rooted at his spot with a dazed expression.
To the onlookers, it might seem as though Feng Zhen was amazed and glad that he could survive after offending the brother of an Inner court disciple of the Zuigao Sect. But Feng Zhen who was in a dazed state has a different thought.
'Shit! Idiots, They are all Idiot's... Damm, I tried so hard to be extremely careful not to offend the powerhouse of this city, but to think that they're this weak. Geas, If only I knew, I should have broken the balls of that pretty boy' thought Feng Zhen with regretfully expression.
Feng Zhen then looked at the old man asked as if what happened just now didn't bother him, "What about the registration"
"Eh!" the old man exclaimed in surprise when he heard Feng Zhen's question.
It wasn't just the old man that was startled by Feng Zhen's question, even the adventures were all startled.
The old man sighed and said, "Come some other day. It's not safe for you to be here any longer. We can't protect you as soon you leave the premises of this association. It's better to get a head start and hide"
When Feng Zhen heard the reply of the old man, he felt warm in his heart.
"Do me a favor, at least give me some money for these. I don't have a single coin on me" said Feng Zhen as he took out a three Level 2 monster core and passed it to the old receptionist.
Although the old man had some questions to ask Feng Zhen, he understood Feng Zhen's situation, and he didn't preach about the rule. He too liked Feng Zhen for standing up against the blonde princess guy who was badmouthing them both. He quickly took out a pouch of dozens of coins in them and passed them to Feng Zhen.
"Go find some inn or guest house to stay out of trouble. They won't go searching around the entire city just for one man" said the old receptionist.
"Thanks" said Feng Zhen as he grabbed the pouch and prepared to leave the building.
While walking to the entrance of the hall, From the expression of the people present, Feng Zhen got a hint that he had picked up a fight with someone he shouldn't have messed with.
When he reached the entrance of the hall, he turned around and looked at old receptionist and shouted, "Sorry for asking old man, But is there any sect I can join as a disciple"
"Brat, who are you calling an old man" shouted the old receptionist with a fierce expression.
However, instead of responding to the old receptionist, Feng Zhen kept quiet and pondered, 'You're not an old man, but why is your face, wrinkled and your hair, grey'.
"Emm! Emm! Anyway, In three days time, the Zuigao Sect, the Xingxing Sect, and the Hong long Sect would be holding an entrance examination. Although it's late to register for the entrance examination, however if you're really eager to participate, you can seek help from the Dou Clan, their connections are wide, they could easily get you a token to participate in any of the sect examination" said the old receptionist as he regained his normal expression.
"Thanks ol-" said Feng Zhen, and he left the building.
"Damn that brat, He wanted to call me an old man" said the old reception with an annoyed expression as he snorted.
.....
As advised by the old man, Feng Zhen rented a room in an inn and stayed for the day, because he was exhausted after the long journey.
The next day, Feng Zhen left the room and went to a restaurant to have his breakfast. When he got to the restaurant, he saw that the restaurant was filled with people with few tables available.
Then he took a sit close to the window, because he found the space very comfortable. Afterwards, he called the waitress and ordered the food he wanted.
Sitting on the chair and having his breakfast while enjoying the view from the window, Feng Zhen closely listened to the conversations of the people in the restaurant.
A few meters away from Feng Zhen's table, two men could be seen engaging in a secretive conversation.
"Heh, Did you hear that Princess of our Empire would be getting married to the prince of another Empire"
"Yeah, I heard it"
"Do you know the name of the prince"
"I don't know, In fact I don't even know the name of the Empire"
"Fool, Even if you don't know the name of the prince, you should at least know the name of the empire"
"Tch! I'm just telling you... For all I know, it might be a rumor"
"Well, If you don't have better things to tell me, then stop spouting nonsense"
"Tch! I'm not spouting nonsense... For your information, I heard that the princess is being forced to marry the princes"
"WHO CARES... I'm not royalty and I don't get what the hell going on, in their heads"
"Heh, Keep your voice down, you might cause unnecessary troubles to yourself"
"..."
"Good"
Feng Zhen who was sitting few meters away from the table at which the conversation was going on, was ignored.
'Using your daughter as a pawn for politics... Very disappointing,' thought Feng Zhen. As a member of a royal family, Feng Zhen understands most mindsets of royalties. He knew that the forced marriage of the princess should have something to do with politics.
'Anyway, I better mind my business' thought Feng Zhen, and he continued listening to the conversion of the duo.
"About the disciple selection of the three sects"
"What about it" *
"How can I get a badge"
"How old are you" *
"25"
"Fool, Only those below the age of 20 are allowed to participate in the disciples' selection" *
"..."
"Tch, How can a mighty sect like that, accept talentless disciple" *
"Heh, are you indirectly saying that I'm talentless"
"I didn't say you're talentless..." *
"Then what were you saying"
Feng Zhen who sat a few tables away from the duo, used his right hand to hold his mouth as he was finding it hard to restraint himself from laughing.
