Heart Cultivation Chapter 282: The Question Of Veracity part 2

The approach counted as the proficiency guide and the pure peace armor was a tool to help through guide, as long as the cultivator was seeking it the guide would help to learn the right approach.

The merchant started to throw his wealth to save his child, the mugger happened to see Jen standing there alone, he was bewildered because city archon told that the girl was hit by the ambush and probably could not survive yet she was standing here and where was the young man, just as he asked this question to himself, something hit his head and fell, his grip on the child got loosen.

The child ran toward his father and the meantime mugger was hit again, it was so sudden attack that the mugger was still unable to understand who hit him twice.

He could only see the girl still standing there with the same expressions, he got furious at her calm expressions, he threw his weapon with the strong dominion toward her, Jen was not fully healed so if she used her dominion with the great force, her wounds would open up again, the merchant who clutched his son was now looking at the present situation.

Zhi Chang somewhat understood the intentions of the mugger but he has less time to interrupt the attack, he descended in between weapon and Jen, he let his strong dominion envelope and embraced Jen, the weapon met the difficulty to break the dominion first, the crowd which was gathered because of the commotion heaved a sigh to see that the girl was not directly hit.

"You are not allowed to make a fuss here," Zhi Chang angrily turned his face toward the mugger, he brought out the sword which was placed in the storage, it was first grade weapon unlike the weapon used by mugger, the battle strength of this first grade sword surpass than a first grade weapon, the mugger could see his death dancing in front of him the first grade sword was about to pick the sword technique.

But first of all, Zhi Chang needed to fend off the attack of the weapon by the mugger, since it met the first grade weapon it lost its efficiency immediately, now it was mugger who was worried whether to run or battle?

This young man seemed monster, how come he improved within short time? Everything else can be neglected but the weapon was truly fearsome, if he choose to stay then surely he would be doomed.

Zhi Chang was not interested to kill but this mugger has crossed limits, he tried to attack Jen who was standing not bothering him then why he choose to attack her? If he let this go then he won't be able to face himself.

He was aware about her wounds and why she choose to stay neutral, few mistakes cannot be forgiven, he wielded his sword and the mugger was directly hit because he was thinking to run away and the opponent dominion has already broken his strong defense.

The crowd cheered because they were threatened everyday by this mugger, getting rid from this threat was a wish that finally came true.

The merchant was happy that this young man appeared at right time and saved his son, he gathered and gave the wealth to Zhi Chang which he was willing to give the mugger, Zhi Chang refused to accept it, he put his arm around Jen and walked to find some good eatery.

"This weapon is definitely first grade, where did you find it," he pleasantly spoke as nothing has happened, he could gather from her expressions that she was not worried about the attack of mugger, she has something more reliable to act as her security guard, her solar star which he could feel active.

"The elder and fourth pillar of Celestial Sphere was indebted by my favor so he gifted generously, well it was good act to finish a sour of this Manias," Jen spoke supporting his last minute decision.

"The limitless are only wild beasts and such beasts often harm the peace," he answered with equal calm.

Jen looked up, when she was seven years old she looked up at him the same way as if inspired, she was inspired back then because of his pointers, suggestions and manners and now his perfectly refined personality, there was no much difference just that she was grown up.

They entered in an eatery and Jen ordered dishes those could replenish her health and mend her wounds, it was first ever that someone ordered most expensive dishes of this eatery and the owner himself came to ask if they needed anything else after he was informed about the order.

It was the one where mugger and his friends were fighting over the bill when Jen came in this Clandestine Manias, it was rebuilt because the business won't stop no matter how often it was ruined.

Rumors travelled faster than human means, the owner also got the news that the mugger was killed, he was immensely happy, he finally could business with peace, without any worry that those freeloaders would come and after eating a lot fight over bill.

These merchants were not aware about the fact that the mugger was only picked for this job if he died the fatty toad would hire someone else more capable.

The merchants thought to celebrate this occasion, they were clueless that crown lady was backing all the unlawful activities in the central city, even if they happened to know they can't do anything to stop her but they would be worried for the safety of the young man who was providing them protection.

"Where I should search that fat man?" he asked, if the fatty has some ties with the mugger then he would definitely come looking for revenge, and before that happen Zhi Chang wanted to find him and return the favor.

Central city was not a small place and who knows if he was still in the city?

"There was sign on his shoulder, that sign may help us to know who he was," Jen remembered a brief look out when she attacked in return of ambush, there was a mark on his robes probably a red blood dragon sign.

"This, the old merchant might know about this sign," Zhi Chang was feeling better to hear this clue, this way he could easily reach that fatty.

Jen purchased fresh fruits after she was contented with the dishes, they walked in the market and came at the biggest shop where the old merchant was sitting and sipping on the tea.

They greeted the merchant, and sat there.

"I heard about the mugger, young man you should be careful in the future, the mugger was not the only one involve in this he has some strong backing," the old merchant was concerned that soon the back would appear and he might not able to predict what would it cost in the end.

"Senior, I was looking for someone who has a red blood dragon sign on his robes, I wonder if this senior know someone with such sign," Zhi Chang did not mention why he was looking that specific person, nor about the ambush.

"Are you talking about the red blood dragon with the broken sword stabbed?" the old merchant seemed quite familiar with the sign, he was old acquainted with the city archon and had a deep grudge in his old days, then it turned out that old man was not willing to continue this grudge anymore.

ZHi Chang looked at Jen and she nodded in approval, old merchant scrutinized both and he was puzzled what made them ask about city archon and how they were familiar with the crown sign, this was not the previous sign, the previous sign was blue dragon with a sword in the mouth but after the death of previous crown, the crown lady introduced this sign for the city archon and other officials working in the factions.

The lower level officials were not given complete sign, one could easily recognize them from the robes but the city archon was exception because he was right hand supporter of the crown lady.

"Ah, then you are looking for city archon if I am not wrong," now the old merchant was more than interested to know why they were looking for fatty, what picked his interest was the fact that fatty was not a normal cultivator, he has chosen the path of crown lady, there was suspicion in his mind these both legends were young were they looking for him for second reason.

It made the old merchant shudder in his heart, if these two strong cultivators chose that forbidden path, it would be a great lose.

Zhi Chang could feel the changing expressions of the merchant, he looked at Jen, it seemed he was aware about something threatening.
