After coming out of the ancient pagoda, Feng Li was in a good spirit as he looked through the window only to discover that it was already nearing the end of the afternoon he took a quick bath and changed into a clean red robe and walked outside his courtyard.
On reaching the corridor connecting his room to the sitting hall, Feng Li discovered that even the servants were looking him with strange gazes with hidden contempt in them. Feng Li just shook his head as a smile was written all over his face. "should I tell father about my achievements?... no let it be a pleasant surprise." Feng Li thought to himself.
He walked straight into the sitting hall where he saw his father, mother and his elder sister sited with worried expressions on their faces. When Feng Xu saw Feng Li walking straight to them with a fine look on his face, a painful glimmer was on hr face as she could imagine how much pain and stress hr younger brother was undergoing at the moment. When Feng Li arrived, he smiled at his sister and looked at his parents who were looking at him with faces full of worry and care.
"Mother, father you shouldn't be worried your son is perfectly fine let this small issue slide I will be fine." Feng Li said with a smile on his face as a confident light was glowing in his sharp eyes.
"Feng'er your father and I were sick worried about you. You had been in your room for the last thirty hours I…I… I thought you would do something stupid." Fu Lin could not hold her tears anymore as she burst out crying as Feng Tian could only sooth his wife at the moment.
Feng Li was so moved by the love he got from his family despite them being aware that he had 'broken meridians.' He was sure that the attention he received from the elders just after the talent measuring ceremony was done was going to be forgotten as they would treat him like the way they would to the wing.
A person who could not cultivate was a sham and taint to any martial family no matter where one went to to.
Despite having cured his meridians and having a strong aptitude at the moment, Feng Li did not want to disclose this unprecedented news yet. He wanted to see how his family would treat him. Having thought of all this, a smile appeared on his face as he could not imagine how surprised they will be if they knew of his potential by then. Seeing Feng Li smiling on his own, Feng Xu could not help but ask.
"What's so funny that is making you smile bro?" Feng Xu asked in confusion.
"Ooh its nothing I just remembered something. Ooh yes father I wish to go out on a walk. I have been inside the mansion in the last six months. I just want to take a scroll lest I die of boredom in my room soon." Feng Li said as he glared at his father with eager written on his handsome face.
"Fine you can go but you are allowed to go too far." After some consideration Feng Tian agreed with Feng Li.
"I understand father. I will be careful." Feng Li happily said as he ran outside the Feng Mansion.
"Our son is not simple, just yesterday he learnt that he was unable to cultivate, were it any other normal child, they would have been so devastated by the revelation but to Feng Li, he appears to be so unrelated by this. The way I see it he doesn't appear to be faking it at all." Feng Tian said while looking at the disappearing site of his son.
Stepping out of the Feng mansion, Feng Li stood still watching the street. He has finally taken a step out of the Feng family. Since he came to this world, this was the first time he had taken a step out of the Feng mansion. Watching the busy street, he couldn't help but remember his moments when he was on earth. Large cities on earth had a population of millions but Emerald city here which was a small city on this world had almost the same population. From this one could measure the gap between the two worlds.
After choosing a street, he walked amongst the crowd of people slowly while looking around appreciating the way people were busy with their daily businesses. After walking for a while, Feng Li arrived on a corner where there seemed to be less people in this area. From the memories of the previous Feng, he came to know that this area was called the Red street; this was where rules of the city do not apply as killing is a thing like any other n this place.
Walking on these streets, he could sense strong gazes directed at him while others were using their various techniques to probe him. He ignored all these gazes and walked forward leaving the area. Soon he arrived in front of a restaurant. The name of the restaurant was 'Mei restaurant' just looking at it, one could deduce that is was a classy one. Piqued with curiosity, he walked inside the restaurant.
When he finally got inside the first floor was almost full with only two table remaining unoccupied. He quickly chose the table which was near the window so as he could get a rear view of the city as he planned to grab some drinks.
When the servant noticed the newly arrived servant, she quickly walked over to Feng Li's table.
"Hello young master, welcome to Mei restaurant please feel relaxed as you have come to the right place. This is the most incredible place to have a relaxed meal as the food is really delicious, what orders do you have for me mister?"
Hearing the polite and sweet words made by the servant, Feng Li immediately raised his head to look at the girl. Feng Li exclaimed inside his heart, this girl's beauty was somewhere to be appreciated, what surprised him was the fact that she was just a year above him. Such age from a girl like her was supposed to be cultivating and not being a servant at a hotel.
Still Feng Li did not ask anything and he just ordered a bottle of wine. Although it was not normal for a five to six-year-old to be drinking but in this world wine was taken to be not that serious of an issue.
Soon a jug of wine was placed on his table. He poured the wine into his glass as he started drinking slowly. A few minutes later, all the wine had been emptied into his small stomach. He then ordered a few other jugs as they were placed on his table.
At this moment, a group of four youths walked into the restaurant. The youth at the front looked the same age as Feng Li while the other were about 8 to 10 years old. The youth scanned the first floor as his gaze landed on a red-robed youth who was at the very corner of the restaurant. A smile formed on his face.
Seeing this, the others also looked at the same direction. Soon the group of youths arrived at Feng Li's table. "I say, how much do want lad, I want you to fuck away from this table my friends and I wish to use this table." The youth leading the group arrogantly said to Feng Li.
"There is no need to pay me, just occupy the table over there it's still empty." Feng Li politely said as he pointed at a table nearby.
"What did you say, didn't you hear what I just told you? I told you to fuck off from this table why are you still here." The youth screamed out loudly towards Feng Li.
Before Feng Li could respond, footsteps were heard coming down from the second floor. The group of youths turned to look at who was coming down. At this moment, there appeared a girl who looked 10 years old just a glance would paralyse any lame man. Feng Li looked towards her. He couldn't help but appreciate the girl for she had a soft skin with a round face. Her hair was red in colour which rested proudly on her back. When she stepped on the first floor, she walked proudly towards Feng Li's table.
"Young masters can you give me face and sit on the next table, I have something I need to talk to him about." The girl said to the group of youths with a bewitching smile.
"Yes…yes… miss you can have the table. My friends and I will just occupy that table." The youth said with fear written all over his face.
Without wasting time, the girl sat on the opposite side of Feng Li and took the jug of wine and poured in a glass and started drinking. She drank several glasses without saying a single word to Feng Li. Seeing that the girl had nothing to say to him, Feng Li did not take the initiative to talk as he continued drinking as many glasses as he could.
"Iam Mei Yao, how can I address this young master?" the girl asked while looking straight at Feng Li.
"Feng Li." Without even looking at the girl he responded the two characters.
"I see, are you the young master of the Feng family." The girl sincerely asked him.
"Yes iam."
"It's nice to meet you brother, my father is the owner of this restaurant and I happened to be here today. Since you are now my friend, your bill will be on me what do you say?" the girl said with a smile hanging on her face.
"Why, the two of us have just met why would refer to me as a friend." Feng Li finally lifted his head and looked straight to her.
"It's because I feel like you are a good person and I have no friends at all. Can I be your friend?" the girl looked at Feng Li with a pleading glare.
"There is no problem we can be friends." Feng Li smiled at the girl as he stood up reading himself to leave the restaurant.
"Friend, are you leaving, let me walk you out." The two of them walked out as they reached the door.
"Ok thank you for the trouble I can walk by myself now." Feng Li bed goodbye with the girl and took his was to the Feng family.
On arrival, he could see many of the Feng family younger generation on the field practicing while others were sparring with each other. He shook his head as he decided to go straight to his room. Just as he was about to turn around and go somebody was already standing on his way.
"I say cousin; you shouldn't be walking around the city alone. Considering that you are just a mortal, it is too dangerous as you may end up getting into trouble huh." The youth said slowly with a look of ridicule.
"Feng Bu, your care is highly appreciated now you can excuse me I have important things to attend to." Feng Li went passed Feng Bu and walked directly to his room.
