Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 223: Chapter 222: Exposed Identity

Chu Linfeng and Old Man Xu entered a city about the same size as Liuyun City, with many vendors shouting on the streets, displaying their wares on the ground.

After a casual glance, Chu Linfeng felt that there was nothing valuable, just some low-tier herbs or weapons, with the best being a Tier Three Demon Crystal.

”Old man, didn’t you want to drink? Where to, hurry up and take me there, it’s been a long time since I had a delicious meal, take me there quickly.” Chu Linfeng said.

”Kid, the drink will have to wait because our trouble is here. Have you seen the person behind us wearing a bamboo hat and a veil? They’re here to make trouble for you.” Old Man Xu laughed, seemingly unconcerned about the person behind them.

Hearing this, Chu Linfeng glanced back and indeed saw someone following sneakily, his heart puzzled. How did this guy know it’s me? I’ve already used Disguise Art, and even Jingyi and Tang Li couldn’t tell it was me, let alone someone who’s never seen me.

”Old man, did you see it wrong? This person can’t be after me! I’ve changed my appearance now.” Chu Linfeng said.

”This is a person from the Assassin’s Guild. Although you changed your appearance, they must have recognized you anyway, I’m sure of it.” Old Man Xu said.

”Why? Can they see through Disguise Art?” Chu Linfeng was unconvinced.

”The problem isn’t with you, it’s with me. Imagine me walking with a young boy; doesn’t that reveal you’re the one I’m supposed to protect?” Old Man Xu said.

After hearing this, Chu Linfeng said nothing, ”Old man, wouldn’t it hurt you to also use Disguise Art? Being with you feels unsafe! Are the people from the Assassin’s Guild strong?”

”Usually around the Seventh to Ninth Levels of the Earth Martial Realm, with a few at the Celestial Martial Realm. Don’t worry!”

”What am I afraid of? You handle this guy, I’ll go have a drink. Don’t come back if you can’t fix it!” Chu Linfeng said irritably, then led his Demon Wind Steed to a fairly decent-looking tavern in the distance.

Old Man Xu watched Chu Linfeng walk away and couldn’t help but laugh, ”This kid really has guts. Since the Assassin’s Guild is here, there must be others elsewhere too. It’s good for him to suffer a bit, teach him a lesson.”

The tavern waiter saw Chu Linfeng with the Demon Wind Steed and realized that this young man was rich, as only the wealthy used Demon Wind Steeds for travel, so he hurriedly approached.

”Sir, are you here to dine or to stay? Our tavern is famous near and far, with excellent service and reasonable prices, offering a wide variety of delicious dishes guaranteed to satisfy you.”

”To dine and to stay!” Chu Linfeng replied simply, too lazy to waste words on the keenly observant waiter. After handing over the Demon Wind Steed, he said, ”Take good care of it. If there’s trouble, I’ll tear down your tavern.”

The waiter immediately nodded, ”Rest assured, sir, everything will be in order.” He then led the Demon Wind Steed to the tavern’s stable.

After entering the tavern, Chu Linfeng looked around. There were few diners at the moment, giving the large tavern a somewhat deserted feel.

Chu Linfeng chose a seat by the window, which had a pot of perennial orchids, looking very beautiful and giving a leisurely feeling. Sitting there allowed him to eat and observe the street outside.

The tavern waiter promptly came over to ask, ”Sir, we have braised beef, steamed turtle, spicy kidney, Kung Pao chicken... all famous signature dishes. Which would you like?”

The waiter rattled off more than twenty dishes, leaving Chu Linfeng speechless, ”Just bring a few randomly, and a pot of wine. Also, prepare an upper room and a tub of hot water; I need a bath later!”

”Please wait a moment, sir, the delicious food will be ready shortly. I’ll make the arrangements immediately.” The waiter quickly left after speaking.

Chu Linfeng continued to watch the pedestrians on the street below through the window when Sword Spirit Yue’er’s voice sounded, ”Lin Feng, quite a few people are watching you here; you’ve got trouble this time.”

”What kind of people are they? They shouldn’t recognize me, right?” Chu Linfeng asked in surprise.

”I checked, and there are five people in this tavern targeting you, all with considerable strength, the weakest being at the Seventh Level of the Earth Martial Realm, and the strongest at the Ninth Level. Don’t be careless,” Sword Spirit said.

”They indeed rate me highly. This Sea Dragon Academy really has some skills. Since they dare to come, I’ll make sure they don’t return.”

Chu Linfeng then glanced over at the people in the tavern and noticed a few were watching him closely, realizing they were likely the ones.

Not long after, the waiter brought the food, and Chu Linfeng poured himself a cup of wine and began eating alone, not bothering to ask about Old Man Xu.

”Where is the little brother planning to go? Interested in having a drink with me?” A voice entered Chu Linfeng’s ears.

Looking up, he saw a bearded middle-aged man approaching with a wine cup. It seemed these guys couldn’t wait any longer; he just started eating, and they already wanted to start a fight, couldn’t they wait until he finished his meal? Chu Linfeng thought with frustration.

”Not interested, I don’t know you!” Chu Linfeng said after glancing at the man.

”Where is the little brother from? Where are you going?” The middle-aged man asked again.

”None of your business, are you investigating household registration? Am I close to you?” Chu Linfeng said.

”Little brother, are you from the Celestial Dragon Academy? I heard you’re the number one student there. So impressive at such a young age, admirable!” The middle-aged man said, ignoring Chu Linfeng’s words.

Chu Linfeng intended to endure it until he was full, but this guy was too annoying. So he angrily said:

”What business is it of yours! Better leave before I get angry, or don’t blame me for being unkind.”

”So you really are Chu Linfeng. Kid, today is the day you die.” The middle-aged man said, then threw the wine cup at Chu Linfeng.

Chu Linfeng dodged immediately, the cup smashing through the table, showing the force behind it.

Chu Linfeng took out the Cyan Frost Sword from his Storage Ring and said, ”Assassin’s Guild kids, come on out. It’s impressive you recognized me like this.”

After he spoke, several people from other tables cautiously approached Chu Linfeng, aware that he reportedly had the strength of the Ninth Level of the Earth Martial Realm, and was extremely dangerous.

”Kid, if you were alone, we might not have known, but you were with the dean of the Celestial Dragon Academy. Although your current appearance differs from our information, it’s still clear it’s you.

Only you would be rushing to the Imperial City and need protection. Kid, isn’t it time to die with your eyes closed?” The middle-aged man said.

”Brothers, advance!”

Realizing the reason, Chu Linfeng quickly slashed with his sword. The tavern’s space was narrow, inconvenient for combat, and that old guy still hadn’t returned. He needed a more open space, so he flashed out the window.

”Chase!” The middle-aged man said, and immediately the others pursued...
