Meng Li!

Upon entry, the first thing Mo Ting did was to head towards the clothing store.

He couldn't bear to keep walking in his tattered rags. No wonder he has been receiving looks of a beggar.

Thankfully, from his vanquished opponents, the hunters, he had gotten a pretty good sum of money, so buying some clothes shouldn't be an issue.

Arriving at the store, he bought some clothing before heading towards an inn to find lodging.

"I'm sorry, but our inn is already fully booked!"

Said the horse faced inn keeper after taking a look at Mo Ting.

With an expressionlessly face, Mo Ting dropped 15 pieces of copper and asked again.

"I want an accommodation!"

Seeing the 15 pieces of copper, the innkeeper's expression which originally held disdain immediately transformed into fawning.

"Of course! Of course! Please follow me young master!"

Said the innkeeper as he led him towards his room in the second floor himself.

"Here's your room. If you need anything, just ring the bell over there." He said as he pointed towards a bell hanging at a corner in the room.

"Can i get some hot bath?" asked Mo Ting.

"Of course honored customer! I will make sure it's ready in a little while."

...

Mo Ting removed his rags and sunk himself into the hot tub and couldn't help but sigh in satisfaction. How long has it been since he enjoyed such luxury. Never!

He had never enjoyed it before.

After soaking himself till the water turned cold, he washed himself before dressing up in a blue robe and tidying his hair.

The Mo Ting who is dressed in new robes is amazing. Even though the robes aren't of high quality, it gives up a refreshing feeling and his hair which was once disheveled was now tied up, showing off his handsome young face.

His white pupils shone brightly giving him an enchanting and eternal feeling.

"Grrrrr..." came the low grumbling from Mo Ting's stomach. He suddenly remembered he hadn't eaten anything for a day.

"It's time to eat!" He said as he headed towards a restaurant that he saw when he was looking for an inn.

When Mo Ting passed by the lobby, the innkeeper was dumbstruck by his transformation.

'So he really is a young master!' Thought the shopkeeper.

Mo Ting not even sparing him a glance head out to fill his tummy.

... ...

"For this years selection, I'm sure Lin Dong and Wei Bong will surely awaken a strong martial roots since they are born progidies!"

"It was said that both Lin Dong and Wei Bong broke through the Body Refinement Realm Ninth Stage at the age of thirteen!"

"They are what are really called genius!"

"Hey... what do you know?" Said a youth who looked around fifteen years old sitting adjacent to the table said.

"What genius? The young master of the Meng family, Meng Li broke through at the age of just 12 years old!"

"Gasp!"

"Is that true?"

"Of course! This is news I acquired from a dependable source." He said smugly.

At the restaurant, all sorts of discussions are taking place as many are debating who will pass the test with flying colors.

Mo Ting sat at an inconspicuous corner away from prying eyes but he could hear everything going on.

Restaurant is the best way to get information after all.

Mo Ting didn't have a trace of expression on his face as he continued eating with a blank face, while his ears continued to listen to the Diners gossips.

Suddenly, there was a sudden hush before a strange silence fell in the diner.

The silence lasted for about five seconds before an excited and hushed voice of a youngster broke the silence

"Isn't that..?"

"Yes! No doubt it!"

"It is Meng Li!"

"The Meng family genius?"

"Who else? Or is there another person bearing the name Meng Li?"

Mo Ting who had his head down the whole time continued to listen to the people's excited conversations.

After finishing his 'huge' meal, he paid his bill and while planning to roam around town before returning to his inn.

While he was leaving the diner, from the corner of his eyes, he saw some youths not more than twelve to thirteen years old eating while people are fawning over them unceasingly.

A youth dressed in green robes sat at the table with a haughty air around him, while from his face, it could be seen that he is enjoying the flattery of the diners. Even though the flattery isn't meant for him. He was at the second Stage of Body Refinement Realm.

Beside him sat a young boy who looked to be at the age of twelve wearing a purple robe. His face like a warm Jade glowing when he smile.

He looks like an amiable person but the haughtiness in his smile could not be hidden at all.

And on his left is a young girl who is at the Body Refinement Realm Third Stage wearing a pink colourd dress, with her cute face.

Mo Ting just took a glance at them before averting his gaze and walking away but not before locking eyes with Meng Li.

Meng Li was stunned!

That was weirdest and mesmerizing eyes he has ever laid his sight on. Even though it was just a fraction of a second.

From the side profile, he could guess that who ever the blue robed youngster is must be handsome like a greek sculpture!

With his hair let down freely and the air playing with his hair.

He looked carefree but gave out a cold aura for everyone to stay away from him.

Meng Li wasn't the only one mesmerized but almost everyone who saw Mo Ting's departure.

They couldn't help but wonder if he was with them in the diner the whole time and from which prestigious clan he is.

When Li Caiyun, Meng Li's female companion saw his dazed state, she looked at where he was looking at just in time to see the end of a blue robe walking out of the diner.

She couldn't help but wonder who it was.

Mo Ting had a small tour around the town before heading back to the inn he was staying.

After having his bath, he started his habitual training. The breathing exercise!

When he was a servant of the Mo clan, he saw a tattered book that was thrown away with some pages still intact and the title 'Breathing exercise.'

He hid it away and has been practicing it since he was a servant up until now since that is the only breathing exercise he knows.

And to him, that is a supreme treasure.
