Chapter 715: Chapter 716: Little Secret_1

"That mountain we used for the last competition should be fine, anyway, we can restore it afterwards, not like competing in the city, where it’s easy to accidentally hurt other people."

Feng Yuan responded without thinking, and Agunas gave him a speechless look and said,

"You think they have that kind of strength?"

"Dare you say that flattening a mountain is hard for you?"

Agunas glared back at Feng Yuan and said irritably,

"I don’t think those people will make us need to use our most powerful moves."

Just then, Feng Yuan’s phone rang. He answered with a puzzled look and after listening for a while, glanced at Agunas with a strange expression and said,

"Okay, I got it."

"Don’t worry, I’m not interested in that, don’t you trust me?"

"Relax~ There won’t be any fighting~"

...

Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and flicked his tail, saying,

"Why do I feel like you’re talking about me?"

After hanging up the phone, Feng Yuan gave Agunas a speechless look and said,

"It’s not just about you."

"What do you mean?"

"Because of Clock Town, people from the Divine Beast Hall seem to be thinking of breaking through here again."

"Divine Beast Hall..."

Holding the book in his hands and flicking his tail in impatience, Agunas said,

"Those guys are thinking of forcing their way through?"

"They probably won’t, otherwise they wouldn’t agree to it. The Divine Beast Hall, already shrouded in uncertainties, can’t withstand that kind of turmoil, but sometimes their methods can be pretty annoying, can’t they?"

Agunas stared at Feng Yuan for a while and said,

"You think you’ll be fine?"

"Pretty much, I trust they wouldn’t dare to bother me."

"He has warned them for me."

"That really is..."

Agunas flicked his tail in dissatisfaction, not saying that he should also help solve its problem along the way. Most likely, He intervened because of Feng Yuan’s special status, not wanting the other party to be provoked hence giving them a special warning.

"Divine Beast Hall is coming too?"

Qi Chen was surprised. The power of the Divine Beast Hall had been dwindling over the years, at least within the boundaries of Great Xia. Aside from those large cities with their branches, other cities like Maomu City didn’t seem to have any traces of their activity.

"They’re probably afraid of being eliminated by history, but if they can’t be reborn from the ashes, the demise of the Divine Beast Hall is a matter of time."

Feng Yuan said absentmindedly. Along the way, seeing the shops busily cleaning, he suddenly had an uneasy premonition.

"Thank goodness~"

Seeing that Chang’s Gourmet Shop was still operating normally, Feng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and happily ran in, making eye contact with Dou Yanlan, Qi Chen gave a wry smile and said,

"He really does love the food from this place..."

"Too bad, even after learning the recipe, you can’t replicate the same taste."

Dou Yanlan said regretfully. Qi Chen was momentarily stunned and looked at her incredulously,

"You’ve learned... their family’s..."

"Yes, after all, he’s helped us so much, and there’s not much we can do to repay him."

"That... makes sense..."

Qi Chen said, feeling a bit dejected. He remembered how much Feng Yuan had helped them, but since the guy lacked nothing, it was hard to repay him. With this puzzling thought, Qi Chen looked at Dou Yanlan and asked,

"But, how could they..."

Mimicking Feng Yuan’s gesture, Dou Yanlan closed one eye, smiled mysteriously, and put her finger to her lips saying,

"Secret~"

"The reason may be the ingredients, they seem to cultivate their own with great care. I’ve tried to get some, and I will tell him once I succeed."

Dou Yanlan whispered, taking Qi Chen’s hand and walking into the shop.

"Why are you here?"

Feng Yuan greeted the man who called himself Old Wei with surprise and asked, noticing Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan next to him, Old Wei smiled politely, sat down next to Feng Yuan, and whilst ordering, whispered so only Feng Yuan could hear,

"Because of some information."

"Information? The G Organization hasn’t been active in Maomu City, right?"

Feng Yuan asked, puzzled. Hearing him, Dou Yanlan and Qi Chen were both taken aback. Dou Yanlan looked at Old Wei skeptically, the more she observed, the more she felt something was off about him, as if he wasn’t just an ordinary person.

With a smile, Old Wei said,

"I didn’t say it’s about the G Organization. Someone wants to cause some trouble during your competition, and moreover, those from the Divine Beast Hall seem to..."

"They wouldn’t do anything stupid, would they?"

"You know?"

Old Wei looked at Agunas behind Feng Yuan in surprise.

"Did it tell you?"

"No, directly conflicting with them doesn’t seem like Divine Beast Hall’s style."

Feng Yuan shook his head and, speaking, dipped a soup bun into the special sauce before placing it on the plate in front of Xiao Ji. It was only then that Old Wei noticed the eagle-like Xiao Ji, and after sizing it up, he said in amazement,

"Has it... evolved? But... it doesn’t seem to be in its final form?"

"What else? You think it can master that power in one fell swoop?"

After some thought, Old Wei nodded and said,

"True, no one can control a sudden surge in power. Still, it should be able to evolve beyond its level, right?"

"Just advancing one level isn’t too difficult if you want to master the newfound power. I have..."

"No need."

Feng Yuan interrupted Old Wei as he noticed Xiao Ji’s eyes starting to glow, and looked at Old Wei with irritation, saying,

"I think it’s better to let it grow gradually. I don’t think taking shortcuts is a good thing."

After staring at Feng Yuan for a while, Old Wei sighed helplessly and said,

"Fine, you are the only one who has the right to say that."

"Speaking of which, are you still working on your pointless thing?"

Old Wei said with a smile,

"That’s my only pursuit."

"You know it’s impossible, yet you insist on doing it."

"How can I know miracles won’t happen if I don’t try?"

Old Wei said with a slight smile. The waiter then brought the dishes Old Wei had ordered, and the two stopped talking. Qi Chen was puzzled about who Old Wei could be. Looking at Feng Yuan, he seemed very familiar with him, but Qi Chen remembered that Feng Yuan hardly left the house during his three years of high school and never mentioned this person.

As for those he knew even earlier? Qi Chen wasn’t sure, but his instincts told him that Old Wei and Feng Yuan really hadn’t seen each other many times.

Dou Yanlan secretly observed the two men who had stopped talking with a puzzled look. After a long while, seeing Feng Yuan and Old Wei go to settle the bill, Dou Yanlan secretly tugged at Agunas, who looked at Dou Yanlan with confusion and did not follow Feng Yuan to the cashier.

"Something wrong?"

Agunas asked Dou Yanlan, who looked somewhat puzzled and after a moment of silence, said,

"That Old Wei, is he dangerous?"

"Dangerous? Not to you guys."

"To us?"

Touching her chin and pondering for a moment, Dou Yanlan said,

"What about to Feng Yuan?"

"Even less of a threat to him. He is not his opponent, and besides, they don’t have any conflict."

Agunas said exasperatedly, and then glanced at Dou Yanlan,

"Did you seek me out just for this?"

Seeing Dou Yanlan nod, Agunas thought for a moment and said,

"A word of advice, don’t underestimate Old Wei, and it’s best not to investigate him. Though he might not do anything to you out of consideration for Feng Yuan, still..."

At that moment, noticing Feng Yuan returning, Agunas fell silent. Feng Yuan looked at Agunas with some confusion and said,

"Why do I get the feeling that you’re secretly badmouthing me?"

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan, with a bewildered expression, and said,

"What are you thinking? Do I need to sneak around to speak ill of you?"

"Hey! Where’s my polite Agunas?"

"You’ve corrupted him."

After an exchange of gazes with Agunas, Feng Yuan conceded defeat and said reluctantly,

"Alright, alright, I corrupted you, happy now?"

"It’s simply the truth,"

Agunas muttered softly, turning the pages of a book in hand again. Qi Chen glanced behind Feng Yuan and asked,

"What about Old Wei?"

"He’s gone. He has his own matters to attend to; how could he possibly follow us around?"

Feng Yuan said, puzzled. Having heard the conversation between Dou Yanlan and Agunas, Qi Chen had many questions he wanted to ask Feng Yuan, but noticing Dou Yanlan’s signaling eyes, he ultimately didn’t speak up.

On the way back, Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan lagged behind, seemingly in deep conversation, while Feng Yuan walked ahead, hands behind his head, with a carefree demeanor. Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and asked,

"What exactly is he planning to do? Could it involve them?"
