Chapter 97 Clarification
Now someone dares to brazenly declare in front of him that they want to be his master—how can he accept this? How can he possibly remain calm?
However, this surge of anger came and went quickly, vanishing completely before it could fully erupt. This was all because he suddenly remembered something else: "The person before me already knows my identity, yet he still shamelessly claims to want to be my master. Does he truly possess the power, or is he bluffing and plotting something else?"
Once this thought surfaced, it lingered deeply in Yao Chen's mind and could not be erased. He couldn't guarantee that there was no possibility of it, so he dared not say anything more, let alone make sarcastic remarks. If Xiao Feng in front of him was really a strong person, then doing this would be like lighting a lamp in the toilet—courting death!
The events unfolded too suddenly, and even with Yao Chen's composure, he found it difficult to accept for a while. His mind was filled with confusion and countless doubts, which he could only hope could be resolved by the mysterious man before him.
"Who exactly are you? What do you want? And why do you know my identity? Did you already know that I was hiding in this storage ring?" He asked a series of questions.
He wasn't sure if what he was doing would anger Xiao Fengren in front of him, nor did he know the consequences of his actions. But right now, he desperately wanted to find an answer, otherwise he wouldn't be able to die in peace!
Hearing Yao Chen's series of questions, Xiao Feng said expressionlessly, "Since you are still useful, I will give you some time to talk to you slowly."
Xiao Feng's words startled Yao Chen. He couldn't help but think, "To call oneself 'this one,' one must either be someone with extremely high strength and status, have absolute confidence in one's own strength, or have a powerful race or force behind one."
"I can clearly feel the deadly threat emanating from this mysterious man in front of me, which is enough to prove that his strength is much greater than mine. Although this person looks handsome and no more than twenty years old on the surface, it may be because he has the art of preserving his youth. In reality, he is probably an old monster who has lived for countless years!" Looking at Xiao Feng in front of him, Yao Chen also began to analyze in his mind.
The current situation is still unclear. By discovering more details and knowing more things, we can better cope with the changes to come and even turn the situation from passive to active!
As expected of Yao Chen, having spent many years in the Dou Qi Continent, he had already developed a pair of "fiery eyes." In just a short time, he was able to observe things and, combined with his own analysis, arrive at an answer that was close to the truth. He was truly remarkable.
However, since Xiao Feng was willing to answer his question, Yao Chen stopped thinking about it and listened carefully to the answer in order to resolve his doubts.
At the same time, he was also more cautious, because he wasn't sure if what Xiao Feng said was true, and he couldn't guarantee it. What if the other party was lying to deceive him? This was a matter of his life and safety, so he had to be extremely careful. He couldn't completely believe what Xiao Feng said, and he couldn't easily trust him!
One must not easily trust others; this is the first essential element for survival in the Dou Qi Continent.
Xiao Feng was naturally unaware of Yao Chen's thoughts. Even if he had known, he would probably have just laughed it off. Why would he, with his strength and status, pretend to be a snake with Yao Chen in front of him? Why deceive him?
"As for my identity and background, that's not something you can know right now. You just need to know that I have no ill intentions towards you. Otherwise, why would I go through all the trouble of waking you from your coma? I could have just attacked you directly. I believe you should also know very well that with my strength, killing you would be an easy thing."
Upon hearing this, Yao Chen felt a surge of anger. He had never suffered such humiliation before. However, the deadly threat emanating from the person before him constantly reminded him, rendering him speechless despite his open mouth. He had to admit that Xiao Feng's words were indeed correct and irrefutable, so he could only continue listening to Xiao Feng's next response.
"As for what I want to do, I have already made it very clear before: I want to subdue you and make you serve me."
"Your identity and whereabouts are not secrets to me, nor are they something you could possibly know right now. My main purpose in coming here is for you."
"Now you should understand, right?" After saying that, Xiao Feng looked at Yao Chen in front of him and asked, while also watching his reaction.
After hearing Xiao Feng's answers, Yao Chen was also very unsettled. "As expected, this person actually knows the reason for my hiding place and identity, and even targets me! Fortunately, as he said, at present, he does not seem to have much malice towards me, which proves that he is not a member of the Soul Hall or that bastard Han Feng."
"Although my life is not in great danger for the time being, I still cannot let my guard down. I cannot be sure whether what he said is true or false."
"Moreover, judging from the attitude and posture of the person in front of me, he seems to be determined to take me back. If that's the case, then I'm in trouble." Thinking of this, he felt as if he had thought of something bad, and his body involuntarily shivered.
It is common knowledge that alchemists hold a very high status, but not everyone treats them with respect and reverence. Some people are from large families or powerful organizations and do not need to seek help from alchemists, while others are alchemists themselves and naturally do not need to do so, and may even look down on them.
"Those in the same trade look down on each other" is a fact that will never change, no matter where you are.
Besides these, there is another group of people who have no respect for alchemists from the bottom of their hearts.
Alchemists are renowned for their pill-making skills. To refine pills, alchemists usually have to devote themselves wholeheartedly to this field. Even so, they will face many bottlenecks and difficulties, let alone keep up with their cultivation and manage both at the same time.
