I told him what had occurred before when we went into the woods, regarding meeting that Gu Xing and nothing more regarding what happened after .
I also told him what this stupid guard there said just now and what he was trying to do, I then finally said :
" I'm a man with a clear conscious, I offered that guy to pay for the damages that I unintentionally caused, even though I should have buried him where he stood, but instead he replied to my kindness with hatred .
" Going as far as admitting that he would be doing a favor for Gu Xing by dealing with me, that's all the story, I believe Hall Master Meng Lang have a clear conscious as well and able to tell right from wrong .
After I finished saying this, the girls around me started to echo that they can testify to that, but I already know that their testimony won't change that guy's mind even slightly, if not for him being uncertain that he can take me down, we wouldn't be even having this kind of conversation .
Meng Lang directly turned towards the guard that was the instigator of all this and said :
Is that true ? .
The guy directly knelt on the floor and with crocodile tears he began weeping and saying :
This guy is full of lies, hall master, he is confusing right and wrong, I did want to carry favors with a talented man like young master Gu, but this guy is framing me, I didn't do it, I really didn't do it, hope Master can give justice to this slave .
What do you say ? .
Meng Lang kicked the guy that was beginning to hang into his feet and turned towards me angrily saying this .
I seeing him like this already understood that he might have a little bit of clear conscious, but his ability to discern right from wrong is weak, very weak .
I shrugged my shoulders and said :
" It's his word against mine, what exactly can I say, I already said that I'm willing to compromise and compensate for the damages, as for you crippling me, well I don't think that I would let you do that .
Pointing at him with a confident demeanor, it was really good to have these masks on, it filled one with endless confidence, I continued to say in an unwavering tone :
" I no longer have anything to say, I want to know what your thoughts are ? .
I was able to notice him squinting his eyes at me, but after the tension in the air between us rose to the maximum, he finally gripped the neck of that guard and twist it easily as if it was a dead tree branch then said :
Whether you were right or wrong, I can't let that guy alive anymore, as for my final judgement, 10 times, you will pay 10 times the damage and from now on you will be forbidden to take a step here, you understand ? .
Directly withdrawing 30 silver taels and throwing them on the floor in front of him and used my Mental Strength to put them in a pyramid shaped, this action was to nib any thoughts of attacking suddenly he had .
Seeing the pyramid shaped compound sliver taels appear suddenly in front of his eyes, I saw that his eyes involuntarily contracted and almost came out of their sockets as he said :
You are a Spiritualist .
I didn't know what that even meant, but seeing his expression I thought that it was a respected profession like alchemist, so I nodded solemnly and moved passed him, but as I passed, I still said :
" As for you not wanting me to take a step here.... .
Forget about that, this happened because of my own recklessness, I apologize for my words earlier .
Before I even finish saying that he didn't have the authority to do that, he actually withdraw his words from earlier directly and even apologized directly to me, I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at this kind of development, what was going on .
Not wanting to stay here any longer, I directly took Li Fu and the girls and got out of the place through the way we came through, no one stopped us or even asked what we were doing, at almost dawn we finally got out of the Secret Doors .
After that each girl went on her own way, while giving me a reluctant look, each one then went back to their homes and family, Li Fu then asked my permission to go and accompany Liu'er to her house, I nodded and told him that I will be waiting for him at the Dojo .
It seem that the street was still bustling just like before we went into this little adventure of ours, but there was now a fewer people than before, it seem that the activeness here will be over soon .
I looked back at what just happened and the only conclusion that I was able to come up with for the change in that guy behavior was that it was most likely related to the title he gave me SPIRITUALIST .
What did it mean and why he was so shocked after finding out, I'm not clear, but there should be some clues regarding this title later, after all since Meng Lang recognized it, then Master should be more than able to do it too as well .
Speaking of Master, how in the world will I explain my current state to Master, my head was aching by just thinking about how would he react to this, I'm already able to tell that he would freak out, maybe even suspect me for doing something Evil .
To evade all that, I will need to find a good excuse, one that would allow me to convince him that this was already normal thing and I already have an idea in mind, but if it were to fail, I might lose the support of Master, that feeling of being watched hadn't disappeared since we got out of that damned place .
It seem that Meng Lang seemed to be quite interested in finding out my real identity, luckily he didn't seem to care much about Li Fu, I checked that no one was following that guy, so that's a relief .
I using my enhanced senses in this bustling area wasn't able to find where those annoying gazes coming from, I could be able to notice them if I were to focus on where I felt they were, but this was me alarming them that I did know their position and intentions, that wasn't productive .
My glowing eyes would also sell me out, what to do, I need to know their whereabouts as to know where to escape, else I might end up fleeing right into their location like a headless chicken, what a dilemma this was .
Just as I was thinking of a way which could allow me to pinpoint where they were without alarming them or being seen using my Blood Qi to locate them, I couldn't help but recall that I actually have some kind of an invisible energy I can use .
Mental Energy, I had used a few times before it felt as if I was using my will and intention to communicate and command the air around me, but also not, using it felt as obscured as well, I can't even define how I'm able to use it and using it felt so natural too .
Even now, I do believe that I'm able to use it somehow to know where those guys were without them being able to notice any changes around me at all, but it's the means that I was missing currently .
I have the method which was mental energy and even able to control it somehow, but how I should be able to use it in detecting the gazes aimed at me, my mental strength capacity currently can only allow me to extend my mental energy around me to utmost 0.5 meter in one direction .
If I wanted to spread it around me, the distance it can cover will be halfed directly, if I tried to extend it any more and I would began to have headaches and even feel like I was being driven into madness, not to mention that using it had even a time limit, then the headaches will began appearing .
I wonder if with the Panel, I could force myself to bear those negative effects, I remember that the headaches kept getting relieved .
But it's the consumption of mental energy that kept on causing them in a weird cycle, but luckily the moment I regain even a wisp of it back, the headaches would stop instantly .
So I believe with the help of the Panel, I can find indeed some ways to use it in my current situation without it causing too much damage for, the time duration I have of using it without an issue is 15 seconds .
Any longer than that and I will sense as if my body was hit with a tranquilizer, until I can regain a wisp of mental energy, I also have no idea on the duration it need to regenerate that wisp though, so that's another issue, but I think I will manage, somehow .
I first used my will to connect with this weird power inside me, it came out and I was already beginning to feel it roaming inside my body, just as I wanted to, but this energy seemed to have no physical form, yet it can endow itself with physical properties, once it become attached to something, like with pills and the sword .
At this thought, I kind of began to see clues about what I wanted to do, I began to think of my body as an item and thought of mental energy covering it from outside in a sphere, then I began to feel the energy taking an invisible but corporal form around my body .
() .
But just as I began to sense something, I felt that the sphere popped off, the reason was my insufficient control, luckily the Panel came in a clutch, insufficient control of Mental Energy resulted in loss of the said mental energy, not only that there were also mental and physical exhaustion among other serious side effects, like short coma, mental energy source being temporarily crippled, even injuries to soul was there .
One of the side effects that I barely get a chance to feel thoroughly before the Panel removed was a deep sense of irritating, that made me almost go berserk in the street, luckily the Panel acted quickly, or else I might have not been able to escape getting arrested .
But at least this experience gave me more information to work with and have given me a confirmation on the authentication of the method I'm trying, the skill or technique that allowed one to use his mental strength to sense people looking at him, this together with the fact that I already understood what went wrong thanks to the Panel will make my success a matter of time .
What went wrong this time was my mental energy exceeding the limit of the distance covered, my control faltered and the results was failure, for the next next few minutes, I kept adjusting this method of mine with the help of the Panel, until I was finally able to achieve some success .
Urging my mental energy to cover my upper body in a sphere, on the edges of the sphere I was able to feel a lot of piercing gazes aimed at me, they would appear like a splashes linked to whom they belong to with a line, this whole thing was visible only to me and even with my eyes closed I would be able to be conscious about it .
Filtering through women's gazes, men eyes, kids interested in my current attire and mask, then I finally found my target, I was able to locate 4 gazes that belonged to 4 people .
Their location were 2 each on top of a building and the other 2 were walking behind me in a distance, seeing that they had no intention on retreating, I used Crouching Tiger to dive into a dark alley .
The two on the buildings were obscured from seeing anything, the two on the ground seemed afraid to blow their cover, so they didn't follow, the alley was one that led to the other side of this street, the Red Light District, I had already taken advantage of this chance and situation and changed my clothes to black Luxurious clothes found in that guy pouch .
After changing into them and removing the mask and cleaning the dirt, I finally turned into an official handsome young master, but I chose the worst place to appear in and at the worst possible time as well .
The womens were currently coming out of their respective institutes and was bidding farewell to their customers for the day, the tight alley that I crossed, put me directly in a spot where I would be giving my back to the customers leaving and those women's gazes .
It took merely a few seconds, for my appearance to stir even more terrible hornet nest, that I didn't want having anything to do with them, but it seem that I no longer had the opportunity to even resist, a sudden sense of frailty and weakness assaulted me .
I understood that I was suffering from my own success, the technique I used was only turned off after I was certain that their gazes on me had completely stopped, only then did I stop using my mental energy .
Now, I'm paying the bill for getting caught in the moment, due to my current state I was easily outnumbered and directly led into one of the most luxurious restaurant in the area, it was called Two Moons, at least the signboard said this .
Seeing that I was already about to enter the building being pulled by so many beautiful women who any of them could be said to be able to compete with actresses and supermodels, but even if I were to have given a chance to associate myself with these beauties wearing provoking clothes and smelling quite nice as well .
No, no, no, remember Tian Long, women are nothing but troubles, not to mention that I'm currently weakened, if some of them were to have the heart to do anything dangerous to me, I want be able to fight back, I, feeling a looming threat said without caring about my face :
" I don't have any money .
As I said this, I saw some of the hands that were pushing me from the back faltered slightly, so I couldn't help but turn my head back and once I did, I finally dug myself a comfortable size grave .
I saw the hands that were about to let go before suddenly squeezed my clothes even harder than before, then one of them said sultry :
Well, we as your big sisters will treat you today and we might even be willing to give you some dessert later, don't you agree girls ?
Agreed × 6 .
I was speechless, I wonder if those customers of their found about what will they be using their money on and who, wouldn't they directly spit blood and curse their life, trying to refuse, I found that just as I was about to say something, a fragrant filled hand suddenly sealed my mouth and said :
It's not appropriate for you to refuse the invitation of so many beautiful women, won't you agree .
I directly tried to shock my head, but even my head seemed to be fixed in place by someone, so in the end I was forcefully pulled into the building and the first thing that came to my ears was the sound of zither being played, it wasn't difficult to recognize it, after all I saw some people playing it before, but I have never heard a song like the one being played here before .
The moment we stepped in, it fell as if I had entered another world, world filled with fragrance, colors, music, laughter and some inappropriate things as well, just breathing the air here, could make someone feel quite intoxicated for a long time .
I currently was feeling like that, after I heard the sound of zither, I felt my mind logging off for a second, before the notifications of the Panel brought me back to normal, but even in that short period of a second, I already found myself seated in the front row and these girls were flocking around me .
Some were massaging me and some were touching places they shouldn't touch, I felt my cheeks flushing with my body beginning to heat up, I suddenly said my age is 14 yelling this out loud .
But all I get in response with a few teasing touches, snickers and a comment from one of the women saying :
This young brother seemed to be thinking of the desert already, how about we turn him into a Man today .
After hearing this, the first thing that came to mind wasn't calling the police, but actually the faces of two lecherous guys I recently got acquainted with cursing me to die, the faces belonged to Lu San and that doctor in the Rejuvenating Hall, what was his name again .
Faaa Shhiiii .
Yes, that was his name, huh, huh !!!!? .
Huh, Why was he here and what's going on with him ? .
..... .
