Chapter 52 Human Nature
Bai Yansheng possessed an extraordinary and transcendent aura, quickly attracting everyone's attention. Such a divine presence was not something everyone could witness.
Song Chaofeng struggled to push through the crowd and squeezed to their side. He glanced at Bai Yan, but immediately looked away, not daring to meet his eyes again. He could only whisper to Tao Tao, "Tao Tao, aren't we being too conspicuous here?"
"Really?" Tao Tao was munching on a candied hawthorn when she heard Song Chaofeng's words. She glanced around and saw that there were many people around. Her little face was full of confusion. "What are they doing?"
What else could they be doing? They've been so ostentatious, who wouldn't want to join in the fun? Song Chaofeng helplessly spread his hands, glancing at Bai Yan to indicate that he was the culprit.
Bai Yan, who was originally examining the candied hawthorn, understood Song Chaofeng's meaning. His cold eyes swept around, and his thin lips parted slightly. He uttered the word "Get lost," and with an overwhelming force, he instantly rushed towards everyone.
Some people couldn't hold on and collapsed to the ground, while others fled in terror, and in the blink of an eye, the market was empty.
Why did such a commotion happen? Song Chaofeng was dumbfounded, but afraid of attracting attention by being too high-profile, he quickly took out a talisman. Instantly, dust and smoke rose up, and he grabbed Tao Tao and ran away.
After passing through the market and entering a small alley, Song Chaofeng finally let go of Tao Tao's hand and said irritably, "Who was that person just now? He was really powerful, and his cultivation level was definitely not low. We mustn't let him get us entangled."
He was puzzled. Why would such a terrifying person appear next to Tao Tao, and why were the two of them acting like they knew each other very well?
"It's Ayan, not anyone else. He didn't bother me; he's been with me the whole time," Tao Tao explained earnestly, then turned to look at Bai Yan beside her. "Is it Ayan?"
"Huh?" Song Chaofeng was stunned. He only noticed Bai Yan was right in front of them after taking a quick look, but he hadn't noticed him at all.
Not knowing what level of cultivation this person possessed, Song Chaofeng dared not easily release his divine sense to investigate. In any case, he figured it was someone a minor cultivator like himself shouldn't dare to provoke.
But when Tao Tao mentioned this person's name, it felt like I'd heard it somewhere before. Then I realized, wasn't that the person Tao Tao had been talking about the whole way? So this was the real person...
Bai Yan ignored Tao Tao, his attention focused on the candied hawthorn. He took a bite, and a sweet sensation spread from his lips and teeth. He was first surprised, then smiled with satisfaction, "Interesting."
"Ayan likes the market too? Then let's go for a stroll!" Seeing his smile, Tao Tao was overjoyed and couldn't wait to take Bai Yan to the market.
Hearing this, Song Chaofeng was completely bewildered. The person in front of him looked powerful, but had an otherworldly air about him. He wondered where Tao Tao had found such a powerful figure.
He gently tugged at Tao Tao's sleeve and whispered, "Won't it be too conspicuous? You forgot how much attention you all had on you just now. If you go to the market like this, you're bound to attract attention, especially since the market is chaotic and there are many other cultivators there. What if someone has ill intentions..."
"How to make it conspicuous?" Bai Yanjun frowned slightly, not thinking that what he did was too outrageous. He was just aloof and didn't like being watched. However, he didn't actually make a move. He just released some pressure to scare people away. If he really made a move, the entire Wude Town would cease to exist.
"This..." Song Chaofeng was stumped by the question. He didn't dare to make up a story, so he could only glance at Bai Yan furtively and say weakly, "Maybe it's just some costume?"
You can't say someone has an intimidating aura, can you? If you did, would he be silenced?
Tao Tao, quick-witted, chimed in, "It's because A Yan looks so good in it!"
Song Chaofeng's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he retorted in a low voice, "That's not what I meant..."
"Because of this?" Bai Yan seemed to understand. Although some people in the market were dressed in gorgeous clothes, no one dressed like him. He was wearing the Star Moon Cold Robe, which only existed in the God Realm. No wonder people were curious.
Although Bai Yan's expression was indifferent, he waved his long sleeves, and his long robe transformed into an extremely simple white garment. He looked at Tao Tao and asked, "How is this?"
"Looks good!" Tao Tao nodded seriously. She thought Bai Yan looked good in anything.
But that's not the point. The point is that he just needs to look like an ordinary person. Bai Yan frowned slightly. "Good-looking?"
"That's fine, at least it won't attract attention this way, maybe..."
Song Chaofeng himself was losing confidence. He was afraid that this senior would lack patience and just do enough.
After changing their clothes, the three returned to the market. The previous commotion had passed. After all, Wude Town was a mixed bag, and it was normal for a hot-tempered senior cultivator to occasionally appear. Everyone quickly forgot about it.
"Selling pastries! Cheap and delicious, all set!"
"Ayan, there are pastries, let's go take a look!"
Tao Tao was very happy to have Bai Yan accompany her to the market. She dragged Bai Yan around everywhere, mostly into food stalls. Song Chaofeng followed silently behind, feeling exhausted.
It's one thing for Tao Tao to be curious about everything, but this senior is the same. He actually went to a stall selling Goubuli steamed buns and asked why they were called Goubuli steamed buns. If even dogs don't care about them, how delicious can they be?
Hearing this, Song Chaofeng felt helpless, but what could he do? The other person was a senior, and killing him was as easy as killing an ant. He dared not provoke him and could only smile apologetically.
Soon, Song Chaofeng was carrying large and small bags of things. Tao Tao didn't let any food go to waste; she would take anything that caught her eye. She had a lot of spirit stones and had exchanged them for a lot of silver at the beginning, so she could spend them as she pleased.
"There's jujube cake over there!" Tao Tao's two beast eyes saw very clearly, and his gaze fell on the stall directly opposite them. He grabbed Bai Yan and ran over there.
Song Chaofeng shouted helplessly, "Don't rush! The shop isn't going anywhere, and we're here on important business..."
Well, shouting won't do any good; Tao Tao has already made his way through the streets.
But just as she rushed into the street, a magnificent carriage sped towards her, the driver cracking his whip and shouting, "Make way! Make way, don't block the young lady's path!"
"Didn't you hear me? I told you to get out of the way!"
Everyone else had already moved aside, but Tao Tao and Bai Yan were still standing in the middle of the street. People were coming and going here, whether they were cultivators or nobles, and it was rare to see such an arrogant person. Even though there were so many people, they still rushed over recklessly, not caring about the lives of ordinary people at all.
By this time, Tao Tao and his group had already stepped onto the street, and there was no time for them to move aside, especially since the other party was moving incredibly fast, giving them absolutely no time to get out of the way.
Just as the beast-drawn carriage was about to crash into them, Bai Yanqing raised his cold eyes slightly, and a chilling aura instantly spread. The two ground-grabbing tigers that had been charging wildly were instantly intimidated, their front legs buckled, and they fell headfirst to the ground.
