Clothes make the man

'These eyes'

Arthur closed his eyes and slowly opened them, the pattern of obito's mangekyo was present in both of his eyes.

"Kamui.." he slowly muttered and the space spiralled around his eyes and sucked him in

Inside the dimension

Arthur slowly landed on the ground, his eyes observing the countless greyish blue blocks of ground that seemingly goes on for infinity.

" It's just like obito's kamui dimension" Arthur thought

"How big is this anyway" he wondered

"There isn't a sun in this dimension so how is it so bright?" Arthur bend down and touched the ground "Is this ground bioluminescent? "

Arthur mumbled in wonder "Not quite... but these blocks aren't normal dirt either as it could block obito's fire ball jutsu" he remarked while remembering the obito vs kakshi fight.

Arthur wanted to explore this dimension but he couldn't be gone long from his room otherwise the butler and the maids will notice his absence.

"Let's find out its secret some another day" saying so, a vortex appeared out of Arthur's eye and sucked him in

.....

*Knock-knock*

"Master yang, may I come in " the butler knocked on his door, hearing no reply, he knocked again and asked "Master yang, may I come in? " again hearing no reply, he was worried that something might have happened to Arthur so he decided to barge his way in but just before he did that, Arthur's voice stopped him.

"What is it? " Arthur replied while teleporting out of his dimension.

"If master yang had rested enough then may I prepare a bath first or should I prepare some snacks" The butler asked

"Prepare the bath please" Arthur replied

"Sure" saying so, the butler left .

Arthur also laid down on his bed, a strange stinging sensation was felt in his eyes, "This is the side effects of using Mangekyo"

It wasn't unbearable but the pain couldn't be ignored easily either.

He asked the encyclopedia 'Can't the system removed this side effects? '

[The system can alleviate the side effects of blindness but not the pain, host can take pain killers as a temporary solution]

'Forget it, I can bear this much without pain killers'

*Knock-knock*

"Who is it? " Arthur asked and the door opened up revealing the 2 maids "The bath is ready master yang" both of them bowed.

Arthur nodded and the 2 maids led him towards the bathroom.

The guest house was big, the fellow feng li had really outdone himself, It took them quite a bit of time to reach the bathroom.

It was big and spacious, a fancy pool was filled with sparkling warm water and mist hovering over it.

'This seems quite nice' Arthur thought and turn around to release the maids from their duty but to his surprise, both the maids were taking off there clothes!

"What are you two doing?! " Arthur asked a bit flustered.

[AN: Don't judge him, he was still a virgin and never saw the opposite sex naked, living isolated in the jungle didn't helped either so he was a bit flustered when he saw them taking off their clothes. ]

"It's our duty master, we will tend to your needs" one of the maid answered, feeling a bit confused.

"I can take care of myself just fine so please leave both of you" Arthur replied, he wasn't interested in sleeping with someone who he has no interest for.

"But it is our duty-" the second maid spoke but Arthur cut her off mid sentence.

"It's no longer your duty if I say so, I order both of you to leave " Arthur commanded.

Heeding to Arthur's command, both of them went outside the bath room.

'Am I too ugly? ' one of the maids thought reluctantly.

After sending them off, Arthur took off his clothes and immersed himself in the warm water.

"Ah~" Arthur exhaled in bliss "Being rich is nice too"

After 15 minutes, Arthur walk out of the pool and wore the velvet bath robe.

Arthur slid the door open and walked outside of the bathroom. To his surprise, the 2 maids were still waiting for him at the door side.

"Please follow us young master" the 2 maids bowed and lead him towards the dressing room.

One of the maid took out a robe from the closet and placed it on the sofa while the other guided him to sit on the chair in front of the giant mirror.

'Looks like I will be getting a makeover today' Arthur smiled as the maid combed his long jet black hair while the other applied something on his face, was it a foundation?

After a few minutes, Arthur was looking at himself at the mirror, the two maids blushing a little while they observed his face.

What can be said, Arthur was looking handsome and dashing.

'Not too shaby' Arthur thought while observing his face and neatly combed long hair.

"Master..." one of the maids came up to Arthur while carrying a robe

"I can do this on my own" Arthur waved his hand signalling them to get out of the room

"Please call us whenever you need something young master" the maid said and soon both of them left the room.

Arthur turned back towards the robe "I have no clue how to wear this thing... shouldn't be too hard I guess" Arthur shrugged.

After a while, a handsome and dashing young man was standing in front of the mirror wearing his read and black cloak, His presence was full of nobility.

[His appearance in comment section]

"Quite handsome if I say so" Arthur praised himself, a little narcissistic but it was acceptable in his case.

In the Courtyard

Jiang li was watering a garden of Lavender flowers when she heard foot steps from behind.

A very handsome and dashing young man walked out of the guest house, his presence was full of nobility.

"Master... yang? " Jiang li called out in confusion as the Arthur in front of her was completely different to the one with tattered clothes and messy appearance.

Seeing Jiang li calling his name, Arthur walked towards the lavender garden.

"They are beautiful" Arthur commented while looking at the lavender garden.

"You have changed quite a bit master yang, I could barey recognise you" Jiang li said a bit absent mindedly while staring at Arthur's face. Seeing that, Arthur decided to repay all the teasing she did to him.

"Never seen a handsome man before? " Arthur teased which made her flustered a bit, she shifted her gaze away from Arthur's face, not to be outdone, she also said.

"They do say clothes make a man" jiang li said

to which arthur replied

"Only clothes? "

Jiang li smiled triumphantly "Only clothes. "

Arthur decide to ignore her childish antics and changed the subject

"You do like lavender quite a lot, don't you? " Arthur asked while picking up a lavender fallen on the ground

"They are pretty and so vibrant" Jiang li lovingly caressed the lavenders.

"Whenever I am anxious, I always find myself near lavender flowers." she said while plucking a flower of lavender with her jade like fingers. "Looking at them gives me tranquility. It's like we share some sort of connection that I don't know of" she said while a beautiful smile blossom on her face.

*Whooosh*

A gentle wind swept through the garden, caressing her hair and lifting up the smell of lavenders in the air.

Smelling the scent of lavenders, Arthur's mood also lightened "Even miss Jiang li can feel anxious huh" he joked

"But maybe you do share some connection with this flower" Arthur said while handing the fallen lavender flower to Jiang li's hands.

She took the lavender and responded playfully

"Is that so? I would love to hear sir Yang's opinion on it"

*Whoosh* the wind gently blew her silky hair and Arthur could see a playful but beautiful smile aimed at him.

"It's not that hard to notice anyway " Arthur shrugged " Anyone who meets you for the first time can see that you closely resemble to lavenders" Arthur said while looking at her purple eyes.

"And in my hometown, lavender signifies serenity, grace, calmness as well as many other outstanding and positive traits. You fit these descriptions easily" Arthur said

"But like lavenders, how long will I even bloom..."

Jiang li mumbled thinking that Arthur couldn't hear her but it was the opposite, he heard her loud and clear but didn't said anything. He knows her circumstances about her being unable to cultivate, she was thinking that her beauty won't last forever.

'How long will I bloom was it... ' Arthur thought and soon the garden was covered in serenity.

"Your hometown huh, so you are finally admitting that you aren't from the blue wind city" Jiang li laughed cheerfully while covering her sadness.

"I never stated it was, I only said I was from around blue wind city" Arthur calmly replied

"Oh come on! no need to hide, I am your friend right!? " She pouted

Arthur found her behavior to be amusing

"isn't it a bit too soon to announce us as friends? " Arthur laughed at her pouting face.

"Why? we can talk comfortably to each other and that's all we need" Jiang li justified herself

"Maybe for some but my criterias for a friend are a bit different" Arthur smiled

"Hah, I will be surprised if you even have friends with that attitude" She said while acting to be a little exasperated.

"Well I do have one-" Arthur smiled but his smile felt a little sad "I mean, I did had one"

*Whooosh*

The wind still blew gently

Jiang li looked at Arthur's expression, she know what his words meant. Seeing his expression, she felt pain and found herself guilty of bringing this topic up.

"Right! we should go shopping for your new clothes! " Jiang li cheerfully said

"Mine? " Arthur asked in suprise

"Well I did said clothes makes a man so if you only have one set of clothes then you will soon return to your ugly state! " she joked and drag Arthur along with her.

Inside a huge manor

Feng li bowed towards a middle age man sitting on a chair, He had medium length black hair, a thick beard and sharp facial features, toned muscle, his height at 6.4 feet. He was wearing a black and golden robe with the li family crest on his back. He had the same aura as that of the golden tiger.

"This nephew greets uncle Meng! " fengli said while bowing his head.

"Ah, feng'er. You have become even more handsome than the last time I had seen you" The uncle checked feng li's aura and was surprised "Second level of foundation establishment realm! this time you will surely win this annual meeting" The uncle Meng laughed heartily and praised feng li.

"How are my brother and sister-in-law? " he asked

feng li respectfully replied "They are all doing well Uncle. They have even sent these gifts for you. " feng li clapped his hands and multiple servants appeared carrying 3 treasure boxes, they were filled with spirit stones, pills and rare herbs.

"They really didn't need to give me this much"

Uncle Meng li smiled sadly "Looks like he still hasn't forgiven me yet" Meng li sighed.

The gifts were a little too fancy for a county branch family like feng Li's, this basically means that these gifts were given to Meng li as a bribe to help Feng li during the tournament since he hold quite a high position in the main clan. An older brother treating his younger brother as a stranger..

Meng li was saddened by his older brother's actions.

"How was your journey" Meng li asked a little weakly

"That's why I have come to you to discuss this matter uncle...We were ambushed on our way here! " Feng li said

"WHO DARES!!! " Meng li shouted in anger which shook the entire mansion!

The servants collapsed on the floor due to the pressure and Feng li fell down on his knees

"Uncle" Feng li pleaded which caused Meng li to woke up from his rage, he took back his pressure and ran up to feng li

"Nephew, are you alright? " Meng li asked in worry which warmed feng li's heart.

"I am, uncle" he smiled

3 more servants came and pick up the unconscious servants

*Clap* *Clap*

Meng li clapped and 2 people appeared from his shadow and half-kneeled in front of him.

"Investigate about this right away! " Meng li ordered but feng li interrupted "No need for that uncle, we have already caught him"

Meng li was surprised, he laughed "That's expected from my nephew! "

Feng li awkwardly laughed " Actually it's not me... " he then narrated his experience and how Arthur saved them

"Hoho, If this Youngster yang is as powerful as you state then he must surely have a prominent background, I want to meet him right now but let's meet that head bandit first" a cold light flashed across Meng li's eyes which sent shiver down feng li's spine.

"The head guard had already taken him to the Li clan's prison" feng li stated and both of them were off towards the li clan's prison

....

A carriage pulled by 2 flaming white horses was moving through the beautiful blue wind city roads.

The road was full of different carriages pulled by beautiful divine beasts, numerous cultivators with various levels of cultivation were walking on the side walk, Arthur sense that most common were the 1st level of foundation establishment meanwhile innate realms quite were rare, however he could only find two 3th level of golden core realm cultivators so far.

'It's not that impressive' Arthur thought,

he looked towards the beautiful woman who was also watching the bustling city from the carriage window just like him.

"It's beautiful isn't it? this city" she said to

which Arthur only nodded

"Where are you taking me? " Arthur asked

"Didn't I already told you? we are gonna buy you some beautiful clothes! " she smiled

"I mean why are you accompanying me?" Arthur asked to which she simply replied

"Didn't you wanted a guide? let's say I am your guide for today" Jiang li smiled.

"Fair enough" Arthur answered and shifted his focus back to the window.

The carriage stopped and Jiang li climbed out of it, signalling to Arthur that they have reached their destination.

It was a fancy building with numerous young master and misses going inside to but the new trend of fashion

(AN: Fashion trends, Cultivation edition)

They both went inside and Jiang li started picking multiple clothes for Arthur to try on,

Arthur at first was not interested in the slightest but he discovered something amazing, these were cultivation clothes which were made from special materials like monster hides, rare plants and some expensive ones even had enchantments.

But that was it, he was never a fashion guy but somehow Jiang li was even more excited than him which kinda surprised him since it was the first time he was seeing her being so enthusiastic.

"This looks good on you too" Jiang li smiled happily and Arthur was helpless, he wanted to go out already

"Oh! what do we have here? " a female voice interrupted their conversation and Jiang li's face ashen.

Seeing the quick change in expression, Arthur was caught off gaurd but he could already tell what was going to happen thanks to his cultivation novel knowledge.

"What is a trash like you doing in this building which are meant for cultivators" the female voiced said mocked

just like Arthur predicted

'Looks like things are about to get interesting.. ' Arthur thought
