Chapter 168
''Should we just leave the?'' Thought Addi, there was no use in taking the unnecessary risk of getting caught by their enemies.
While thinking about ways to slip from themotion, Omis seemed to have different thoughts as he sent him a Divine message.
''Here''s our chance Addi!'' He said.
''What chance you brat?! I knew you should have changed your looks beforeing here, now look at this, which part of this is exactly low-key!?'' He replied furiously.
''No, think about it Addi, we were just considering a way to sneak inside the city unnoticed, and even when we make it inside, we would still have no idea from where to start our search for information, this young miss of the Trading house now seems to be our beacon of light, from the reactions of everyone present her position must be quite high so us tagging along with her should make things go rather smoothly for us!'' Exined Omis in one breath.
Addi eyed him with suspicion before coldly replying. ''You just want to act cool in front of this youngdy.''
Omis pretended not to hear that as he gave a slight nod towards the carriage before speaking in a majestic voice full of strength. "I ept the young miss''s kind offer." He said.
Saying that Omis gave a gentle smile that made the onlookers have a good feeling about him and earned him a few blushes from the youngdies amongst the crowd before he added while motioning to Addi who was next to him.
"As long as my dear Grandfather can also tag along."
Hearing that, a sh of light passed by the eyes of the cultivator who stood by the side of the chariot before he gave a respectful bow towards the carriage direction. He then turned to Omis and replied.
"The young miss agrees, please, this way." He motioned both Omis and Addi to hop inside the chariot as the door slowly opened.
"Can you see her?"
"Stop pushing I can''t see anything!"
"Move your big head out of the way!"
"What did you say?!"
Amotion quickly descended on the surroundings as the people present pushed against one another, trying to catch a glimpse of the mysterious youngdy of the Four Peaks Trading House.
''No use crying over spoiled milk Addi, let''s just go.'' Said Omis using a Divine message while shing him a wide smile.
''I said it before, and i''ll say it again, I shouldn''t have agreed toe along this journey.'' Sighed Addi as he followed after Omis.
As soon as the duo stepped inside the luxurious carriage, Omis''s wide smile dropped as his face turned ugly, Addi''s face on the other hand lit up with joy as he struggled to keep hisugh at bay.
''Where''s the fucker that said the young miss is an incredible beauty?! I just want to talk!''
Tapping his shoulders, Addi spoke with a wide grin. "I must say grandson, for the young miss to invite you into a date, as a man aren''t you ashamed? You should take her out on another one after this!"
Turning towards the young miss who was seated across the duo with a bashful smile, Addi gave a bow and spoke. "Forgive my useless grandson, he is tongue-tied by your beauty young miss."
Addi then turned his gaze to Omis as he hastily pushed him to sit next to the young miss. "What are you doing, hurry up and say hello to the young miss, I know you are lost at words but still don''t be disrespectful you brat!" Scolded Addi, the smile never quite leaving his face.
Omis''s expression was akin to one who had swallowed a bug, his eyes kept darting between the young miss who had a bashful look as she peeked at him but remained silent, and at Addi who seemed to find joy in his misfortune.
''Is this why the master of the Four Peaks Trading house forbid her from showing her face? Omis felt cheated as he nced at the youngdy.
Werent all the young misses of the cultivation world supposed to be jade beauties? What is this? This script is wrong! He inwardly cried out.
Yet on the outside, his face quickly regained hisposer, Addi was having too much fun with this. Turning towards the young miss, a slight smile made its way onto his face as he gently grabbed and kissed the back of her hand.
I apologize for the rudeness young miss. My name is Omis.
A-ah! I-Its okay! You can call me Flora. She stuttered as she replied, her face as red as a tomato.
Omis then stood up and then sat next to her before asking with a smile. I hope you dont mind me sitting here?
N-No, thats fine. She replied shyly while lowering her head.
Omis was actually surprised at her embarrassed behavior. He had thought that since she was the one to invite him, she would have been rather bold, yet from her shy demeanor, it was clear that the youngdy was not an experienced person.
Her face was, for theck of better words, unattractive. Her body was certainly that of a young fairy, yet her face was a bit of a problem. Omis was a bit surprised since all cultivators valued beauty, add that with their ability to shape their bone structure, most cultivators were considered handsome and beautiful.
The youngdy in front of his however was different. Omis could sense a faint wisp of qi flowing through her body indicating that she had indeed taken her step in the journey of cultivation.
This little girl is interesting. He thought to himself as he observed the seemingly shy youngdy with a newfound interest.
Addi did not seem to think too much of the situation, a wide grin was stered on his face as he nced at Omis sitting next to the young miss.
Ah, is this what he meant by good karma? He thought to himself with augh.
I must say, youngdy, forgive this old man if Ie off rather strongly but my eyes had never failed me before, and I can tell you two are a match under the heavens! Boldly proimed Addi, earning him a death re from Omis.
