Heart Cultivation 268 The Attendant Of Lodge

They were walking between the streets and could see how badly this central city was administered, at times they felt that there was no city archon to handle the matters of this city.

Jen was disappointed to see this situation, "We should get a lodge and then we can find about challenger s.h.i.+llelagh," she suggested, her intentions was to let Zhi Chang experience some battles so that he could learn some prowess.

"This Manias feels going through chaos," Zhi Chang was also worried about the situation, their stay might not be peaceful here, he thought.

"I wonder who the city archon is and why the crown is not taking action?" she expressed her concern, they saw few people fighting over disagreement, and soon there began their dominions clas.h.i.+ng, no one know what was going on and who was at fault.

They crossed this street and walked toward a building where a signboard was hanging with the words, "Rented Lodges Available" the signboard was half destroyed perhaps yesterday this place also faced the same fate as the eatery they witnessed during their walk.

They got keys for two rooms and settled to rest first, the rent was unreasonable but Jen was not in mood to start a quarrel or disagreement.

The attendant at the lodge can distinguish between the residents and outsiders, he carefully scrutinized both man and woman, according to his observation, the man was Legend but he can't tell the cultivation level of the woman, maybe she was not stronger enough, or she practiced some technique to hide her level but from her susceptible bearing she don't look much strong cultivator.

There was another observation, since they were getting separate rooms that means they were not familiar with each other or they happened to be recently get acquainted.

"My intuition says that the attendant is not up to something good, he seemed suspicious or I am not sure why he was noticing details when we talked to him," when they were heading toward their rooms, Jen spoke.

"I also noticed this," Zhi Chang was already alarmed after he saw the situation in the central city, if no one was caring for the rules then it was normal for everyone to behave lawless especially those who always look for chances.

"Your room is next to mine so we will take rest with intervals and keep check when the other is taking rest," he suggested, he was standing in front of the room number which he was allocated but there was no next room on this floor.

They were played by the trick of the attendant, from the room number, it look that the rooms were located next to each other but in actual occurrence they were on a floor apart distance, the attendant kept in mind that if both were familiar and acquainted they would help each other but if they were separated a little, it would be easy to get hold on one and then the other.

Zhi Chang smiled, "It seemed they are quite confident in their planning," he was not worried now, because he don't intend to rest, he was going to punch the attendant on his face, "There is no problem, we can wait for their move first," Jen spoke and hold his hand because he was going to face the attendant.

"We can't wait for them to make first move," it was true if they come in crowd, then it would be difficult to fight with all of them, "If this senior wanted to face them then you should learn some technique to better use your dominion strength," Jen reminded him.

Zhi Chang was not wandering and learning some apt.i.tude or attribute to power up his strength, he was living confined inside an Acmes Pair, how he was supposed to learn techniques, and Jen was not negligent about this aspect.

Zhi Chang halted, "Pardon for my negligence, I should have consider this aspect," he accepted that he was thinking much crudely about the situation, he should not forget when he was not ready to face the enemy.

"It's alright, I can teach you two techniques but we have to stay on watchful as well, I suggest to practice this technique while sitting on the top of this building, it will earn some time and the attendant won't act soon seeing us cultivating at the upper edge, unless he was fearless enough to attack in every condition," though they spent previous three months to stabilize their Legend level and they badly want some rest but the tricky attendant was current headache and they don't want to show ignorance when it was not needed.

They carefully left the lodge and reached at the top of this building, it was evening now and they start their cultivation practice, Jen guided him about the first technique, it was wild punch technique, her mentor taught her this technique seeing her aggressive most of the time during battles.

According to her mentor, this technique suits her battle prowess.

"This technique is quite powerful, I might take some time grasping it," Zhi Chang complemented this technique, "This senior can use essence strength while using this technique, and the most important aspect should not be neglected during its use," Jen added.

She was mentoring him and told what precaution he should focus when using a technique, since she has used this technique quite number of times she was cognizant about its advantages and flaws.

Jen was observing her surrounding while Zhi Chang was studying the nature of this technique, Jen was curious to meet the crown of this Manias, who was this irresponsible to let everything face chaos and he was enjoying the privileges of being crown in the royal house, she would have barged in the royal house till now but she cannot neglect that Zhi Chang was not prepared yet.

If she let this chaos remain the same and left this Manias to find a peaceful place then she should forget to fight for the supreme existence trials because being coward she don't deserve to fight for the highest position of this sphere.

Coward? Yes, to neglect and run away was coward act in her eyes, and she don't want to be labelled as coward nor her conscience would allow her to do this.

If the situation remained same then the day was near when this Manias would collapse and if this happened she would not be able to forgive herself, her confidence perhaps would crumble too, the reason was simple if a heart was left questioning the act then it would not remain as just and kind anymore, once she silenced her sense of justice and sense of moral then it matter not if she was alive or dead because unjust and moral less heart cannot be considered alive.

It was her way of looking at the situation and it was her sense of moral that pushed her to become strong and help those who need her help, she don't want to be known as deity or someone who was powerful and feared, her goal was to bring harmony and peace in the Celestial Sphere and if she became Defender, this would be her mark to achieve.

This was one of the reason that she chose to wander like a rapscallion, she wanted to meet personally all those obstacles that a common cultivator usually face, though she has strongest backing but she never thought to use it for her own good and benefit.

She once used the diction of her great grandfather and it was to appoint a deserving person as the crown and save the peaceful Manias from any crown battles, crown battles were worst option for a Manias, when no one was present to hold the higher position, usually stronger elders and cultivators fight each other to claim this position and these battles can be portrayed as blood wars for power.

In these battles, the common population suffer mostly, the peaceful scenario turn into ruthless battles and brawls, smaller factions got destroyed and a large number of geniuses were killed by experts, because they don't want anyone to stand against them.

This Clandestine Manias seemed to moving toward such scenario, sooner or later, the elders would be fed up with the current ruling crown and his way of administration and the ruthless battles can be antic.i.p.ated.

In the middle of the night, the attendant and his men walked silently toward the room which was given to the girl, it was separated by a floor so it was highly likely that the man would not be able to reach, perhaps he won't even know until the morning.

The cultivators who broke through a Realm usually take some time to stabilize the Realm level, in the end they happened to get tired and find a place to rest, it was common knowledge, since the man freshly broke through that means he won't be keeping guards for the girl and her protection.

They reached in front of her room, Jen opened her eyes while sitting at the top of the building.
