The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

58. The Assessment (3)

Translator: Ning LL

In no time, there was no sound in the room anymore.

Feng Xi who hadn’t taken the assessment seriously and been sitting in the tent lazily was frightened by the solemn aura and sat upright at once. He firstly assumed that Uncle White was sending out cold vibe again, so he was awaken from the drowsy state right away. As Feng Xi opened his bright eyes, he saw Uncle White’s figure right away.

As God of Books and God of Bad Luck saw the people who were dumbstruck outside the tent through the gauze curtain, they were speechless with their mouths twitched.

Was this called keeping a low profile? More like extremely high profile! It was like that Uncle White actually feared others wouldn’t know about Feng Xi’s identity! God of Books and God of Bad Luck bet that Uncle White must have done this on purpose. Due to the incidents that had happened to Feng Xi the last two times he went out, Uncle White might want everyone to know that Feng Xi was a noble person whom no one could offend.

After all, despite of Uncle White’s indifferent appearance, he was actually a warmhearted person, well, only to his masters.

God of Books dared to swear on his true body that Uncle White liked Feng Xi a lot. However, this old man was not good at expressing his love, so others would assume him to be a serious and indifferent person who treated everyone the same.

As the saying went, love me love my dog, hate my favorite one hate me.

Uncle White felt quite indignant that his young master had been bullied by others twice, so this time he planned a high-profile appearance for Feng Xi in the name of King of the Netherworld only to make a show of Feng Xi’s strength and high status in front of everyone!

That was the reason for what had happened today!

However, Feng Xi didn’t know anything about this and God of Books, the timid little creature, didn’t dare to tell Feng Xi about Uncle White’s true intention.

“Eh, what happened out there? Why is everyone looking at us?” Feng Xi finally looked away from Uncle White and noticed the abnormality.

The whole Green Nether Union was deadly quiet. Most of the people there only stared at the Silver Tiger in surprise with their mouth wide open as if something amazing had happened. After a short moment of silence, the hall burst into an uproar and people kept shouting from the crowd…

“Damn it, that is a high-level silver tiger.”

“That’s too showy. Who would ride a silver tiger here to register? Must be a noble childe from one of the big families.”

“I think your guess is right. What an imposing silver tiger! Only the childes or the ladies from the big families are able to have it.”

“Caia Family? Sura? Or the Nether Family?”’

…

The clamour rose one after another, overwhelming Feng Xi’s ears.

This situation was totally beyond Feng Xi’s expectation. He had thought that he would be put down at a remote corner instead of appearing straightly in front of everyone on the silver tiger. Now it really was impossible for him to keep a low profile anymore. “Uncle White, didn’t you say that you don’t want me to be recognized by others and bring troubles to my leader? What changed your mind?”

“You can get off now, Young Master. I’ll go back then.” Uncle White didn’t answer Feng Xi’s question and only urged the latter to leave quickly.

In this case, Feng Xi could only jump off the tiger disappointedly because he couldn’t force Uncle White to answer him.

The next second, everyone in the Green Nether Union focused their eyes on Feng Xi right away. However, God of Books and God of Bad Luck who had already turned invisible couldn’t be seen by them.

Everyone couldn’t help but open their eyes wide to size up the boy who had just jumped off curiously. The boy had fair and bright skin as well as two clear black eyes which shined like the stars on his beautiful face.

At first sight, he was more like a noble childe who came out to have fun.

If he hadn’t just got off from the silver tiger, no one would believe that he had come here to attend the assessment.

However, a man in green who stood in the back of the crowd seemed not as curious as the others and only showed a cold face while watching the boy entering the hall at a slow pace. The look in the man’s eyes was quite unfathomable, so were his thoughts.

His companion beside him noticed his unusual behavior and then looked in the same direction, finding him staring at the boy just like the others. Then his companion couldn’t help but ask in surprise,

“My leader, do you know that guy?”

The man in green was Qing Mingyu, leader of the Green Nether Hunting Group. He must be present on an occasion like this.

Hearing his companion’s words, Qing Mingyu denied right away without any hesitation, “No.”

“Huh?” Clearly his companion wasn’t convinced. After all, Qing Mingyu would never show a cold look toward someone he didn’t know. There must be a reason why Qing Mingyu didn’t want to talk about it, so his companion just stopped asking. This companion of Qing Mingyu wasn’t very inquisitive anyway, especially about the things that concerned his leader.

Since this place and the Flying Dragon Palace were not in the same area. The people who had seen Feng Xi’s face lived in the south of the city while the Green Nether Union was in the north. What was more, when Feng Xi was in the Flying Dragon Palace, no one there dared to record his appearance with the Black Crystal. As a result, most of the people here only knew about Feng Xi’s existence but not his appearance.

The reason why Qing Mingyu hadn’t told his companion about Feng Xi’s identity was that he didn’t want others to know about it. Once the staff in the Green Nether Union knew that the boy was favored by King of the Netherworld, they would definitely let Feng Xi pass the test on purpose in order to play up to him.

Therefore, Qing Mingyu had denied knowing Feng Xi for the fairness of the assessment and also for his own interest.

However, he was the only one who knew which of the two aspects was the main reason.
