Chapter 428: Chapter 428 Visit Ends_1

Feng Yuan turned his head to look at the guide and said

"No problem, why?"

"Then this is..."

The guide glanced at the greatsword in Feng Yuan’s hand and hesitated to speak, unable to comprehend how Feng Yuan’s petite frame could possibly wield such a massive weapon.

"This thing? The steak knife isn’t sharp enough, this one is more suitable."

Feng Yuan casually stowed away the greatsword, leaving the guide utterly baffled as to where Feng Yuan had put the weapon that was much larger than himself, and watched as Feng Yuan began to eat his steak quietly. After observing for a bit, the guide sighed in relief and returned to her own seat, though her gaze still darted towards Feng Yuan from time to time.

"Need me to help?"

Seeing Qi Chen and Qi Xiaoshuang struggling a bit with their meal, Feng Yuan said with a mischievous smile. Glancing at Feng Yuan, Qi Chen warned,

"Don’t you start messing around! You’ll scare the others."

"Exactly, so crude."

Qi Xiaoshuang, taking big bites of her steak, disdainfully stated. Like Yang Hongzhi, she had given up on using a steak knife to cut the meat, instead opting to bring the whole piece of steak to her mouth with her fork and tear at it slowly.

After a glance at Qi Xiaoshuang, Feng Yuan replied irritably,

"You’re not one to talk."

"Still better than you."

Qi Xiaoshuang glared back at Feng Yuan and said.

Once lunch was over, the group continued their tour with the guide. As they passed by the master bedroom of the Xilite household, Feng Yuan tried to push the door open only to find it locked.

"Dear visitor, the master’s bedroom is not part of the open area; please do not force your way in."

Upon hearing the noise and seeing that it was Feng Yuan, the guide couldn’t help but warn him. After all, while others might just walk away upon finding the door locked, Feng Yuan was a different story. It would be troublesome if he took out that greatsword and used it to chop down the door. The bedroom door wasn’t designed to resist special weapons, especially Feng Yuan’s greatsword, which was clearly not a simple item.

"Tsk, how annoying."

Feng Yuan stopped the action of drawing his sword and noticing Feng Yuan’s odd behavior, Qi Chen said somewhat speechlessly,

"Can’t you ever sit still?"

"Can’t~"

"Jerk!"

"From here, one can overlook the entire Noscarte; everyone can enjoy some free time here. Visitors with children, please make sure to keep an eye on your little ones. The railing here isn’t very safe."

"We’re not going to fall over leaning against it, right?"

"That won’t happen. It’s just that for aesthetics, the gaps between the railings are wider. If you’re not careful, children can squeeze through them."

Hearing the guide’s words, the parents immediately grabbed their children’s hands, already let go, and continued to warn them. One temperamentally explosive parent, for some reason, began to hit their child; seeing this, the guide hurried over to pull them apart, saying,

"Hey, what are you doing!"

"He’s bound to forget later. I’m just reinforcing his memory beforehand!"

"Hey, don’t you want to intervene?"

The guide quickly turned to a woman nearby and spoke. After a glance, the woman waved her hand and said,

"I can’t handle it; this sort of thing is best left to him."

...

"Did you hear that? Little buddy, don’t climb around, okay~"

Qi Xiaoshuang snickered as she looked towards Feng Yuan. Feng Yuan glanced back at Qi Xiaoshuang, flipped to sit on the railing with the breeze blowing, looking at the town within the Noscarte fortress, and said,

"You think I need to worry? Xiao Ji knows how to fly."

"Uhm..."

Qi Xiaoshuang was left at a loss for words, while Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan, shook his head, then took Dou Yanlan aside to whisper.

"Have you noticed?"

"Noticed what?"

Qi Chen looked at Dou Yanlan with some confusion and glanced at the small town below, to which Dou Yanlan said with some seriousness,

"The layout."

"This... I didn’t notice."

"Is there a problem?"

As Dou Yanlan was looking down at the small town, suddenly a strong wind blew, and Qi Chen smoothed her wind-disheveled hair, saying,

"If you can’t figure it out, why not set it aside for now? After all, according to that guy, we are here to travel. Maybe he already knows what happened here."

Dou Yanlan smiled at Qi Chen and said,

"But I want to try and figure out the truth myself. I think solving these puzzles is very interesting."

"Do you... do you not like this side of me..."

Seeing Dou Yanlan shyly lower her head, Qi Chen pulled her into his arms and said,

"How could that be."

"Meow!"

Disturbed by Qi Chen’s movements, Cotton in Dou Yanlan’s arms squeezed out uncomfortably, gave Qi Chen a glare, climbed onto the railing, and wagged its tail in the wind. Just then, Dreaming Dragon Baby floated by with a snack, and Cotton called out to it a few times. Dreaming Dragon Baby looked at Cotton with some puzzlement and seemed to want to offer its snack by holding it with its paw.

Just as Cotton extended its paw to receive the treat, Dreaming Dragon Baby quickly drew back its paw, popping the snack back into its mouth with a mocking look and swiftly floated higher up.

Cotton glared angrily at Dreaming Dragon Baby. Being only of Common Level, even with telekinesis, it wouldn’t be a match for the Elite Level Dreaming Dragon Baby. Seeing Dreaming Dragon Baby looking down at it smugly, Cotton jumped off the railing with a wronged expression and shrank beside Dou Yanlan’s feet. Dou Yanlan, who was talking with Qi Chen, noticed Cotton’s actions, picked it up, and tapped Cotton’s nose, saying,

"What’s wrong with you?"

Qi Chen glanced in the direction Cotton was looking at and quickly understood when he saw the smug Dreaming Dragon Baby. He shouted toward the distance to Feng Yuan,

"Feng Yuan! Control Dreaming Dragon Baby! It’s bullying Cotton!"

Dreaming Dragon Baby stiffened, shooting Qi Chen an annoyed glance and quickly floated away. Hearing Qi Chen’s shout, Feng Yuan turned around and, not seeing Dreaming Dragon Baby, called out with some confusion,

"Where is Dreaming Dragon Baby?!"

Realizing Dreaming Dragon Baby had slipped away, Qi Chen sighed and looked at Cotton.

Feng Yuan, not waiting for a response from Qi Chen, looked around puzzled and petted Pomiti, saying,

"What has Dreaming Dragon Baby gone off to do this time?"

Xiao Ji, clutching its snack cautiously, heard this and motioned towards its snack as if to say something. Patting Xiao Ji on the head, Feng Yuan said with a bit of amusement,

"Has it been stealing your snacks again?"

Seeing Xiao Ji nod, Feng Yuan laughed without any additional comments. The phantom of Agunas, gazing down at the small town from the platform, turned surprisedly toward the distant town of Calien.

"This is the Hall of Merit. The portraits here are not only of the Xilite family members. The front passage, the Hall of Honor, holds the portraits of everyone who has made significant contributions to Noscarte..."

The guide was explaining to the group while leading them into the Hall of Honor, with a multitude of portraits displayed along both sides, each accompanied by a name and a brief description.

"Williams Xilite, the thirty-seventh patriarch of the Xilite family, his wife Anna Xilite, Guard Squad leader Borian Trest, Gareth Comiret, Persmian Bolate, Strekay Bolate, Jenna Xilite, Slandige Kassana?"

Feng Yuan seemed to have found something interesting and studied the portrait of the middle-aged woman in front of him, saying,

"I remember her as the landlady of the Echo Boulder Tavern, right? Why would she be here? A craftsman, I understand, but a tavern... "

Alongside, Dou Yanlan was also closely examining the portraits. She had noticed some issues with them, but there were things she did not quite understand. Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan, thought for a moment, but then gave up the idea of asking. If she were to inquire of Feng Yuan, he might just blurt out the truth like those despicable spoiler-mongers.

Noticing Dou Yanlan’s actions, Qi Chen whispered,

"Do you have any questions? Should I ask Feng Yuan?"

"No need, I want to enjoy the fun of solving puzzles."

Dou Yanlan, looking determinedly at Qi Chen, said, and Qi Chen smiled saying,

"Alright then, I’ll join you."

"Today’s tour ends here, you can all have some free time. Don’t stay out too late; we still have to visit the Ancient Battlefield Ruins early tomorrow morning."

After leading the group out of the castle, the guide finally breathed a sigh of relief. Every time she came here, she was very worried about tourists with children not keeping a close eye on them, and...

The guide’s gaze swept toward Feng Yuan, who was holding Pomiti, and thought that since the most hazardous part was already dealt with, he surely wouldn’t cause any trouble at the Ancient Battlefield Ruins. The guide felt much lighter and decided to enjoy herself at the Giant Rock Tavern.
