Deities: Starting From Goblins Chapter 1097

Chapter 1097: Chapter 612: True Monarch_2 Chapter 1097: Chapter 612: True Monarch_2 He quietly explained to the two spirit pets in his heart as he stepped inside, one step at a time.

Acting as if nothing was amiss and as if he had not sensed such an oppressive aura, he walked in.

By the time he entered the main hall, he indeed saw two strangers.

These two were none other than Hilly Chen and Simmon Leaf.

Both were sitting on either side of the main seat, making themselves at home, with tea already brewed, sipping tea while watching him.

&”Logan, young friend, we can finally meet,”
Hilly Chen picked up the cup in his hand, smiled slightly at him, as if welcoming a guest who had come from afar.

Despite being the owner of the place, Logan didn't dare to confront them head-on.

He even had to feign a smile, and after walking a certain distance forward, he bowed his hands to them.

&”Elder sirs, you both really have a good leisure, not sure why you have come here, why didn't you inform me in advance, so I could have prepared to host you esteemed guests better, my humble abode is modest, it truly is an imposition on you both,”
After exchanging glances, Simmon Leaf said slowly,
&”It's not that we didn't think of informing you, but we were worried that you might be too faint-hearted, once we told you in advance, you might not even show your face, having already run off, better to just come to your house like this and give you a surprise, Logan, young friend, you wouldn't mind, right?”

Seeing their smug expressions, he only felt as if he were looking at two foxes.

Logan felt a thud in his heart, a subtle discomfort rose and quickly he suppressed it.

Simmon Leaf propped his chin, leisurely examining the man, his face contemplative.

&”Actually, I have wanted to meet you for a long time, but every time I found only emptiness, was it by accident, or, young friend, perhaps you already knew of our desire to see you, so every time you had already left beforehand?”

He spoke in a tone that seemed joking, but his words carried a probing undertone.

At the same time, his gaze towards him obviously carried a hint of suspicion.

Logan's gaze flickered momentarily, then quickly returned to normal, a slight, indifferent smile curling on his lips.

&”Probably just fate yet without destiny,”
&”As a Loose Cultivator, I usually don't stay in one place continuously, preferring to wander the four seas, if fate allows, naturally we will meet, if there's no such destiny, perhaps we may never meet in this lifetime,”
He spoke lightly, as if it really were the case, not taking it to heart himself.

The two across smiled, it was unknown if they had really taken his words to heart.

Simmon Leaf chuckled, then said meaningfully,
&”Logan, young friend, you really have a way with words,”
&”Just unsure if it's genuine or if you've already figured out how to deal with my dialogue,”
Logan's expression paused, unsure of how to reply at the moment.

&”I don't understand what you mean, elder,”
In the end, he bowed, only replying with this undisturbed comment.

Simmon Leaf looked at him, his gaze evaluating and puzzled.

As for Hilly Chen, he was evaluating him too, just not as intensely as Simmon Leaf.

&”Compared to before, you have become much stronger, already reaching the Saint Realm,”
His out-of-the-blue evaluation carried an unmistakable tone of admiration and praise.

Logan was momentarily stunned, and out of politeness, he bowed his head to him.

&”Thank you for the praise, elders, compared to a true genius, I still have a long way to go; it's just some chances I happened upon,”
&”What chances?”

Simmon Leaf suddenly spoke, sounding somewhat aggressive.

Logan slightly narrowed his eyes, naturally not about to reveal outright.

&”This, it's a personal secret, I ask for forgiveness as I cannot disclose it lightly to others,”
&”Oh?”

Simmon Leaf raised an eyebrow, slightly squinting his eyes, his gaze suddenly turning a bit dangerous, also carrying an indefinable imposing aura.

“Logan, are you sure you want to hide this matter from me?”

“I have a bad temper and don't like others keeping secrets from me. I have already asked you, are you sure you won't tell me the specifics?”

Logan stood his ground, locking eyes with him.

In fact, from the moment these two appeared here, he had understood the implication of their presence.

But what of it? Even if these two were Saint King Level experts, so what?

No one could easily pry into his secrets. No one could.

Thus, Logan maintained his previous attitude and gave the same response.

“I beg your forgiveness, senior, but I cannot comply. This is my secret and I cannot divulge it readily. Every Cultivator has their secrets, please understand.”

His repeated refusals had already kindled a trace of anger on Simmon Leaf's face.

He curled his lips in what seemed like a sneer, his expression slightly distorted.

“Very well, very well. Logan, such audacity for a so-called Loose Cultivator. To play these games in front of me, it seems I have indeed underestimated you.”

Toward the end, his words carried a dangerous aura.

Logan could not help but retreat while his entire body went on alert.

“What, you realize you are scared only now? Isn't it a bit too late?”

Simmon Leaf suddenly stood up and with a wave of his hand, a fireball hurled towards Logan.

Logan immediately dodged, believing his speed to be sufficient.

Yet the fireball nearly brushed past him; though it did not burn his body, it left a burn on his arm.

“Hiss…”

He uttered softly, looking at the burn on his arm with a somber expression.

Simmon Leaf raised his eyebrows, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

“Oh? Despite it being a casual attack from me at the Saint King Level, you, merely a Saint Realm boy, managed to dodge it?”

The fact that he only inflicted a minor wound did not concern Simmon Leaf.

From Simmon Leaf's perspective, such a minor wound only signified failure.

Logan pursed his lips, remaining silent, his gaze profound.

“Logan, it seems you really do hold many secrets. Facing the two of us from the Saint King Realm, you still show such fearlessness. Whether it's true youthful courage or something else you rely on, today, I must see what you have up your sleeve!”

He had to know, was this person related to the infamous Blood Nineteen from centuries ago?

Was the murderous aura they had once felt related to this boy?

Having said that, Simmon Leaf leaped from his seat and charged toward him.

Logan was no fool. He wasn't going to just stand there and be beaten.

Seeing him coming at him, he immediately flew towards the window.

In such a confined and narrow space as a room, the setting was too disadvantageous for Logan. Naturally, a more spacious area was preferable, facilitating escape.

“You sneaky boy, thought you could run?”

Simmon Leaf, clever and scheming, quickly grasped his intention.

“Hilly Chen, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and follow. Do you really want to let this boy escape?”

While chasing him, he didn't forget to call for Hilly Chen. If this boy truly had something formidable up his sleeve, or perhaps the backing of Blood Nineteen, two versus one was always better than facing him alone.

Hilly Chen also instantly understood his intent and quickly followed.

At that moment, the two of them stood in the air, one in front and one behind, blocking Logan.

Logan was caught in a dilemma, especially with their formation support, finding himself in a tight spot.

Simmon Leaf smirked dismissively.

“Run? Why aren't you running now? I must admit, despite only being at the Saint Realm, your speed is quite impressive. I almost couldn't catch up. It seems, as you said, you really do hide not a few secrets. The more you refuse to tell us, the more curious I become. Logan, to spare yourself some trouble, I suggest you cooperate and tell us the truth.”
