Long Wei began, "This technique wasn't created, it was more like an instinct than a technique. It's called Divine Beast Gaze."
She wanted to test if he could learn the technique which can only be used by divine beasts having a pure bloodline.
Xuan asked, once he learned about the Divine Beast Gaze, "If it isn't a technique then how can you teach me this?"
Long Wei explained, "This is indeed an instinct more than a technique which divine beasts develop during their lifetime that is used to suppress the opponent, or those having an inferior bloodline."
"However, later the divine beasts tried to teach this as a technique to their offspring to evolve their battle instincts earlier, like a technique, more than letting them develop on their own."
Xuan nodded in understanding and decided to test it himself.
He repeated the verse. Waited for seconds but felt nothing but then he sensed someone approaching them.
The presence was heavy, something he hadn't felt ever, before he could react, a middle-aged man with a luxurious robe entered the courtyard through the sky, without even taking permission.
This made Long Wei vigilant; she also felt pressure from the man who had just breached their privacy.
The man came after he sensed the dragon elder level existence from the courtyard which exuded from Xuan for a second then subsided back to the level of Long Wei, like a young dragon.
He deliberately had all his aura targeted in the courtyard.
Xuan felt helplessness in front of the pressure; this only made the existence inside him to resist the suppression.
The man landed few meters away from Xuan, who gritted his teeth.
This was his first time experiencing the cultivation suppression from a higher realm cultivator.
Anger rose within him as something tried to tear his flesh and tried to be freed. As he tries to resist, Xuan's eyes which were glaring at the man suddenly glowed.
That forced the man to stammer back. His momentum faltered as he was caught up in Xuan's Divine Beast Gaze.
The man quickly retracted his aura. Long Wei saw this and felt the same fear as the man.
If in front of the man's pressure, she felt weakness, then in front of Xuan's Divine Beast Gaze, she felt primal fear, a fear which shouldn't exist.
Something which was just like the fear of standing in front of a higher existence.
The man felt the same paralyzing shock. For a moment, his body froze solid as he was suddenly caught in Xuan's Divine Beast Gaze.
He felt as though he was facing an ancient beast, and his heart began to throb strangely. The feeling he was getting from Xuan was betraying his eyes.
In front of him was Xuan giving oddly strange beast-like feeling like the untamed draconic aura, while behind was a woman with the same beastly aura but pure like a dragon.
He collected his thoughts and greeted them with both hand closed and introduced, "I'm Zhao Zhen Wu, the City Lord of Cloud Severing City."
'City Lord?'
This made Xuan and Long Wei surprised as to why the City Lord came here.
Xuan thought, 'Is he also here for me, like those people in the mountain?' He might be also for his life, like those people but Zhao Zhen Wu's next words surprised him.
"I didn't know the dragon clan has come to the city. You could have informed me and I would have made arrangements for you myself."
Suddenly the man who was just now trying to suppress them with his higher cultivation, now changed into a very different man.
Zhao Zhen Wu thought Xuan was a dragon, just like Long Wei. He glanced around, as if searching for someone, then looked back at Xuan.
"If it's possible," he asked, "could I speak with the dragon elder?"
This confused Xuan while Long Wei understood the whole case and decided to use the situation in their favor.
She didn't accept nor denied and simply told him, "It wouldn't be possible," then she introduced herself, "I'm Long Wei. And this is my companion, Xuan."
When Zhao Zhen Wu heard the surname Long, his eyes widened.
Though he himself was the peak Golden Core realm expert, but knowing that not any dragon can use the surname Long unless they are the royal dragon clan, this changed his perspective of Long Wei and Xuan.
Even knowing they are junior to him, he maintained the courtesy of respect, in case he offended the dragon elder behind the two young royal dragons.
Though Xuan didn't speak much and let Long Wei take care of things, he did began grasping the situation.
However, his silence was taken as authority and arrogance of the dragons which made Zhao Zhen Wu to think that Xuan must be from the direct lineage of the royal dragon clan while Long Wei must be his servant girl or just one of his women.
In the cultivation world, the dragon represents primordial power, status, strength, arrogance, and lust. This moment, the City Lord can see everything in Xuan.
Zhao Zhen Wu spoke, "What is the royal family doing in our humble city? If possible, for the guests, then I invite you two to live in our mansion."
Instead of asking Long Wei, he asked Xuan, as to Zhao Zhen Wu, Xuan was the one who has real authority here.
Xuan in return didn't take long to take the lead and politely declined. His character wasn't of some arrogant young master.
To him, respect is a mutual consent.
If you give respect, you receive respect in return and if you throw disrespect then you got one double folded.
"We are just visiting. As for your invitation, I have to decline that." He didn't need to explain why, he knows that much.
Long Wei from back smiled, she thought Xuan might take time to use to the things after he had lost his memories but he was making progress rapidly than she had thought.
Zhao Zhen Wu didn't take his words as disrespect.
Even if he wanted to, he wasn't sure if the hidden expert from the dragon family would not retaliate against him, knowing they aren't just ordinary dragons but from the royal dragon clan.
He decided not to linger more, "Then I'll take my leave. If you need anything then make sure to let me know." After that he left the same way, he had come.
Once he was gone, Long Wei stepped closer to Xuan. "What elder?" Xuan asked. "Don't tell me he also felt that aura from my body, like you mentioned earlier."
"Likely he did." Long Wei answered, her mood was ruined by Zhao Zen Wu's sudden visit.
