King of Nine Skies-Chapter 183 - :Acacia Forest

It has been two months since Lin Feng's battle against the Black Demon. People are talking less and less about the challenge that occurred on that day. The tranquility of Tianyi Academy has returned to its usual state.

Everyone was practicing their skills in their own way, striving to enhance their cultivation. Nothing particularly remarkable happened.

At this moment, a figure emerged from the training tower of the Celestial Stars Society of Tianyi Academy. He was dressed in ragged clothes, with many holes in them, looking extremely shabby. However, when people passing by saw him, their eyes carried a certain degree of awe, without showing the slightest hint of contempt.

This figure is precisely Lin Feng.

Looking at the sky outside, it was already dusk. Several red clouds were floating in the distant sky, very beautiful. However, in this world of warriors, few people have the leisure to appreciate the exquisite beauty. Power is the only thing in the world of warriors. With power, one has everything; without power, one can only suffer humiliation.

He lifted his feet and was about to head towards his residence. But at this moment, a figure flashed over and landed right in front of Lin Feng.

When he saw this person, Lin Feng's gaze slightly froze for a moment, and a trace of astonishment flashed across his eyes.

This person, Lin Feng, he has met before. On that day, in the Qingxin Liquor House in the outer city of the imperial city, the black-clad man who had a close relationship with the owner Qingxin, Lin Feng didn't expect that he would be here and appeared right in front of him.

"Mr. Lin, my name is Nan Shan."

To Lin Feng's surprise, this person greeted him politely with a smile and nod, and then introduced himself first.

"South Mountain!" Lin Feng murmured softly, looking at this person and asking, "Is there something wrong?"

"Ah." Nan Shan gave a slight nod. There was no longer the coldness in his eyes that he had shown when he first met Lin Feng. Instead, there was a hint of a smile: "I was worried that Lin Shao wouldn't come out for his cultivation practice today. I never expected it to be so coincidental. I even caught up with him just now."

Lin Feng's doubts deepened. Catching up? The other party actually came to see me for something.

"Mr. Lin, my young lord has invited you to attend a banquet. He specifically asked me to come and show you the way. He hopes you can accompany me to the banquet this time." Nan Shan said politely. However, Lin Feng was very surprised. Banquet? In his heart, he couldn't believe it.

"Who is your young lord? Why did you invite me to this banquet?" Lin Feng asked in confusion. Last time he and Nan Shan were in a standoff and almost got into a fight. But this time, Nan Shan came to invite him to some banquet. Lin Feng felt rather bewildered by this.

"Your Highness Lin Shao from my family was present at the challenge two months ago. My young lord even came himself and sat in the center of the grandstand." Nan Shan replied curtly, causing Lin Feng's eyes to narrow. "The Second Prince?"

"Yes, my lord, it's the Second Prince, Your Highness." Nan Shan nodded slightly.

Upon hearing the affirmative reply from the other party, Lin Feng instead began to observe Sun Nan closely. Sun Nan was the man of the Second Prince. Then, the Second Prince knew him, perhaps because of that encounter between him and Sun Nan at Qingxin Restaurant back then.

"Could it be a dreamy feeling?"

Lin Feng had an idea in his mind. Although his performance that day wasn't bad, it still wasn't enough to attract the attention of the Second Prince who was aloof and above everyone else. However, Mengqing did manage to demolish the tavern that day, causing a stir among the crowd.

However, if the Second Prince invited him to the banquet merely because of Mengqing, then why did he only invite himself this time? That possibility seems to be rather unlikely.

"Why were you inviting me to come?" Lin Feng asked.

"Your Highness said that after Lin Shao left, he would naturally understand the matter."

Nanshan gave a reply. Lin Feng's gaze flickered uncertainly. He was silent for a moment before continuing, "Are we leaving right now?"

Looking up, Nan Shan glanced at the sky and said, "The banquet is probably about to start. If Lin Shao is available, let's leave right now."

"OK." Lin Feng merely hesitated for a moment before nodding and agreeing.

He also wanted to figure out what the Second Prince was up to by treating him like this. What was his aim?

As for the issue of safety and danger, Lin Feng was not worried at all. If the Second Prince wanted to take his life, it would be very easy. There was no need for any means of coercion at all.

In front of the Second Prince Duan Wuyi, at present, he is still just a nobody.

Nanshan didn't expect Lin Feng to be so cooperative. He smiled and led Lin Feng out of the ancient castle together.

"Little Lin, over there, I have already prepared the horses." Nan Shan pointed in a certain direction. Over there, there were two magnificent horses, extremely imposing and powerful. Moreover, they had a pair of slightly reddish antlers, which were quite different from ordinary fine horses.

"Dragon-born!"

Lin Feng saw the two magnificent and powerful steeds utter a low cry. "Long Horses!" These were the rarest of the horse breeds, far more precious than ordinary demonic beasts. They were incredibly fast, ordinary horses could travel a thousand miles a day, while Long Horses could travel ten thousand miles a day, ten times faster than ordinary horses. Moreover, their speed was much faster than that of the Red Blood Horse.

"Right, Longchui." Nan Shan took two steps forward and led a Longchui horse to stand in front of Lin Feng. Then he mounted another Longchui horse himself and turned back to say to Lin Feng, "Young Master Lin, I'll lead the way first. Follow me well."

As he spoke, Nan Shan gave a sharp kick to the horse's belly with both legs, and the magnificent steed galloped off like a phantom.

Lin Feng also rode his horse to keep up. Two figures sped through the campus of Tianyi Academy, attracting many gazes. It was truly a sight of great grace.

...

In the Imperial City of Xue Yue Kingdom, if one were to mention the most renowned places, the Snow Moon Palace and the Inner City within the Imperial City would undoubtedly be the top choices. However, there is another sacred place whose reputation is no less than that of the Inner City within the Imperial City.

Among the most exquisite wines in the imperial city is the "Love-Struck Wine". Drinking this wine will intoxicate you and lead you into a dream of love.

And the only place where one can brew the wine of longing is called the Forest of Longing.

For the majority of people in the Imperial City, they only know about the reputation of Xiangsi Forest, but they have never set foot in it or tasted Xiangsi Wine. This is because Xiangsi Wine in Xiangsi Forest is strictly forbidden to be taken out of the forest. This is the iron rule of Xiangsi Forest. Anyone must abide by it, even if you are a noble with a broad-minded disposition or a member of the royal family. Once you step into Xiangsi Forest, you must abide by its rules.

This rule has never been altered since the establishment of Xiangsixin Forest.

It is said that the owner of Xiangsi Forest, Jian Xiangsi Forest, did so because of his love for Xiangsi. He brewed Xiangsi Wine to commemorate his love for her and also to express his affection for the beloved one.

However, for some reason, the Xiangsi Forest seems to have become a place for showing off one's status. Only the members of the imperial city's noble families are entitled to enter here. Ordinary people simply cannot get into the Xiangsi Forest.

At this moment, Nan Shan and Lin Feng entered the Thicket of Longing. However, they did not ride horses. In the Thicket of Longing, only walking was allowed.

Looking at the charming and peaceful scenery of the mountains and waters before him, Lin Feng felt his mind become tranquil. Surrounded by green bamboos, with a small bridge and flowing water, the air was filled with a faint, fragrant misty aroma, making it impossible for him to extricate himself.

It's hard to imagine that amidst the hustle and bustle of the imperial city, there could be such a peaceful and pure place. It bears some resemblance to the peach blossom forest of the teacher. Moreover, here there is an air of ethereal mystery.

"A good place."

Lin Feng couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. In the bamboo grove, from time to time, there were some people engaged in wine tasting and entertainment. Most of these people were of prominent status, but they lacked arrogance. Because here was the Bamboo Grove of Sighs. Perhaps the person he happened to meet was of even more prominent status than him, and his position was even higher than his.

Nanshan accompanied Lin Feng, walking slowly along a narrow path paved with black stones. After some time, in front of Lin Feng, a lake shore appeared. Surrounded by bamboo groves and grass, the lake shore was like a dreamy and illusory scene.

Above the lake, there is a very spacious pavilion. On the pavilion, there are actually many figures.

"This is the place. Lin Shao can go there directly."

Nanshan gave a smile to Lin Feng. On the lake, there was a long corridor paved with redwood, leading to the pavilion located on the lakeshore.

After saying that, Nan Shan turned around, his figure trembling slightly. His back vanished quickly. His mission was accomplished. There was nothing for him to do here.

Lin Feng's eyes flickered for a moment, then he took a glance at the exquisite pavilions by the lake. Among them, the pavilion in front of him was just one of them. On the lake shore, there were several other pavilions, but none of them had anyone inside. This made the entire lake shore seem rather serene. Only in front, occasionally could one hear a few voices of laughter and conversation.

He lifted his feet and Lin Feng stepped onto the redwood corridor, preparing to head towards the pavilion. But just then, a figure flashed over and instantly appeared behind him.

Seeing Lin Feng in disarray, this person frowned slightly and murmured softly, "Get out!"

Lin Feng turned his gaze away and raised his eyebrows, taking a look at this young man. He was dressed in a luxurious robe, with his long hair tied up. His face was as smooth as jade, and he was a graceful young man. However, there was a hint of coldness on his face. His gaze at Lin Feng carried a certain degree of contempt, and he held an arrogant posture.
