"Oh, don't be so mad miss. I heard that you came a few days ago. You were traveling with a Merchant caravan if I am not wrong. You must surely heard something bad about the Feng family. I can assure you, that most of it is not true," said Feng Shu, smiling as gently as possible at Mei Lin.
Feng Shu, an outcast of the Feng family, after falling from the Element-finding realm after a succession battle over the leading of the family, lost and was stationed in the city to take care of the stable money flow and expansion inside the town. After more than two hundred years of fighting much more comfortable fights unlike his relatives in the Merchant Caravan, he was more than enough powerful and with a lot of influence in the east part of the city, that he and the rest of his competition were currently operating.
Now when the caravan arrived in the town, he was finally able to reach his true goal of taking over the family and getting rid of Feng Huayuan thanks to their long and exhausting battle to get into the city and protecting the caravan cost all defenders of the caravan huge sum of wealth and also power.

"Yes, I heard about them. If am I not wrong one of them impaled himself on his spear and died disgracefully. What a useless cultivator," said Mei Lin caught Xia by hand and started dragging her away.
"Are you in a hurry to go somewhere? Why don't we chat more? I want to know what happened inside the Merchant caravan and especially to the Feng family. After all Feng family in the caravan and I are related."
Mei Lin started to get more and more nervous, as more and more people started to appear in the doors behind and blocking their way off the room. It was obvious, that all the cultivators, who were probably allies of Feng Shi.
"Unfortunately we need to go to buy something important. If you can excuse us, we need to leave to buy some more things."
Mei Lin didn't care about houses anymore as they would be sold to her through Feng Shi and finally, even Xia got the general idea that they needed to leave. Xia whispered to Mei Lin as they started exiting the room.
"Is it really that bad to encounter the rest of the Feng family, they surely sent Feng Shi some kind of message to let him know what happened and now they freely came to him."
Mei Lin didn't think about this possibility, but even this one could be true and now Feng Shi is only playing with them.
"At least you could tell me what are you looking for?" Said Feng Shi and the rest of the cultivators were in no hurry to let them away from the room ready to stop them however they were able to do it. Mei Lin didn't answer Feng Shi, but Xia immediately started talking and stopped any attempts to get out of there or to cover any attempts to stop Feng Shi from getting more knowledge about Mei Lin and Xia.
"We are looking for something, that will help me read like a sister. Also, sister wanted to buy some supplies and a big beautiful house for us, so we will not have to stay in the tea-house in the yellow zone."
Feng Shi was surprised that Mei Lin was able to gain reading knowledge at such a young age and Mei Lin was not happy that Xia told him everything they needed to buy and with that exposing more and more than needed. Xia was letting him take advantage of them as soon as she said anything.
"It's good that you are here, you can buy a knowledge crystal, but it's very expensive. And you need to be a cultivator to absorb knowledge crystal."
Mei Lin was surprised by the fact that they would be able to have the same crystal as she got from the master, but the fact that only cultivators could absorb the knowledge crystal was not good the most exactly positive news. Despite this good news, Mei Lin didn't answer him at first and also didn't want to buy such an important thing from someone like Feng Shi.
"Thank you for telling us, but we still need to leave." Mei Lin ended the conversation before they were forced to buy most of their needed items from Feng Shi and immediately left. Cultivators around let them go through and quickly headed out.
As they left the main hall, they went back to the yellow zone, back to the tea house. Both of them were not very happy, Xia was angry at Mei Lin who caused the scene and they didn't buy anything. Xia was also angry at Mei Lin, that she didn't want to buy any house she wanted there and Mei Lin on Xia, because she was now on the radar of cultivators from the green zone and especially Feng Shi who could easily find out what happened in the caravan. As they entered the tea house, they started yelling at each other endlessly.
The fight between the two bad arrivals was very extreme, so Xin Ming and the girls showed up to find out what happened on their journey into the city to buy what they needed. They were watching the hassle between two of them and they didn't said a world. As the hassle escalated more and more things started flying across the first floor.
"What do you think that you have done there? Do you even think a little sometimes? Feng Shi is as bad as the rest of his family I met when I was traveling with the Merchant caravan. He wanted only to use us and took as much money as possible from us."
"I don't think that he wanted us to do something bad to us. He just wanted us to sell some houses and help us, but you stopped him."
"I stopped you from buying anything from him because it will only bring us more trouble."
"You are the only one who thinks like that. Feng Shi was surely not as bad as you think and what you know about him. He is a very strong cultivator and could help us a lot."
Xin Ming and the two other drunkards were only silently watching, as both of them were in the heat of the argument and Xia went into their room. Mei Lin didn't unleash her cultivation aura on Xia, because she didn't want to scare her off and get her to stop talking about Feng Shi, who she despised to the bones. Mei Lin made her aura surge a little as Xia left up to the second floor and Xin was immediately scared of Mei Lin.
She never felt such bloodlust from others and because Mei Lin was a blood cultivator her bloodlust aura looked very disgusting and demon-like. The same went for the rest of the people on the first floor and Xin Ming and the girls quietly made their way into the kitchen to not get caught in a fight with Mei Lin.
After calming down, Mei Lin's aura completely disappeared back under her bamboo hat and she once again looked like a little girl sitting alone in the corner of the tea house looking out of the window and thinking about what happened.
