Chapter 319: A Belated Reunion
Translator: CynthiaEditor: TYZ/KLKL
Ai Hui was in a daze at Swordsman Training Hall.
He had been awarded with an absolute art for metal elementalists, a Heaven-grade weapon, a thousand essence elemental beans and a thousand Heaven Merit Points.
The Elders Guild’s rewards petrified Ai Hui, not because it was too little, but because it was too much. Ai Hui instinctively felt something was wrong with the rich rewards.
One who was unaccountably solicitous was hiding evil intentions.
There was no free lunch. What lied behind such abundant awards must certainly be a big pitfall. A lot of things were beyond his expectations. For example, Miao Hai’s avengers didn’t come after him, and the awards of the Elders Guild were even more of an anomaly.
He hardly had any contacts with the Elders Guild.
Ai Hui was quite bewildered. Suddenly, he was disturbed and came to his sense.
There was a burst of commotion at the gate while a bunch of people rushed toward him.
Ai Hui was refreshed. Finally!
He whispered, ”Lou Lan, get ready!”
Lou Lan nodded vigorously, ”Ai Hui, Lou Lan is ready.”
As long as Miao Hai hadn’t made any further moves, Ai Hui couldn’t feel relieved. He didn't believe at all that the manipulator behind Miao Hai would accept being defeated so easily.
Ai Hui was not worried about the retaliation attacks. What was worrying was the lack of them.
Now at his own training hall, he didn’t even have to feign defeat.
Ai Hui picked up his Dragonspine and was ready to encounter the enemy.
However, when he saw clearly the first person breaking in, he came to a halt. Because the one in front of him looked familiar, but for a while he couldn’t recall where he had seen him before. After Ai Hui saw the second person coming in, he paused again, as he found that this guy was familiar to him as well.
”Ai Hui!”
”A Hui!”
...
...
The excited calls came one after another, which suddenly made Au Hui recall his memory. He finally realized why they looked so familiar.
For a moment, his memory was drawn back to the city soaked in blood, where he could still smell the smoke of gunpowder and hear the screaming of the people fighting in battle. He felt unspeakably cold and sad, as if being caught in heavy rain for a long time.
After a shiver, those cold feelings and memories faded like tidewater. He came back to reality.
”It’s all over.” He told himself.
Those standing in front of him were so excited. Their eyes were filled with tears, reflecting the warmth of sunlight.
Ai Hui smiled.
”You are...Black Ge!”
”You are Ming Feng!”
...
...
”Lou Lan, it’s been a long time!”
”Ming Feng, Lou Lan is so happy to see you!”
”So shall we have elemental energy soup today?”
”Of course! Leave it to Lou Lan!”
...
...
They hugged and gave high fives to each other. Sweet smiles bloomed on every face.
The noise of dense traffic went on and people constantly joined the reunion.
…..
A high building, not far from Swordsman Training Hall.
”What a warm situation! Compared to those cold, pitiless aristocratic families, this is so much more tender.” Tong Gui said with emotion, ”Have you recorded it all?”
A subordinate beside him said promptly, ”Yes, we arranged enough workhands. Don’t worry, they are all very skilled.”
A deep sound emerged from behind the copper mask, ”We are responsible for letting everybody know the truth.”
”No problem!” a subordinate said reverently, ”We have arranged for extra people to get in touch with those survivors and asked them how they felt when Ai Hui was called the murderer of his teacher. They all expressed their rage.”
Tong Gui turned his face, ”Did you encounter any resistance on taking over the checkpoint?”
Yu Jin said indifferently, ”Yes, three people were dead and two wounded.”
”So, they should already get the information.” Tong Gui nodded and turned his face back, ”These mirage bean pods must be sent out today.”
”The first batch was already sent out.” The subordinate said reverently, ”Tomorrow morning they will be on the shelves of all bean pod shops. We have reserved all the best places.”
Jiang Wei listened to their talking silently.
”You are promoted.”
