Chapter 90 – Faster, Harder, Stronger (2/2)

That tall, thin elder was Fei Dian!

Fei Dian was the one of the oldest and most powerful Generals of Zhou Dynasty. He participated in the previous war against the Demon race, and his contribution and recognition was huge. Even the most famous General right now, Xue Xing Chuan, would bow in respect when encountering him.

Who knew such a powerful figure would appear outside of Tradition Academy in the morning and help Tian Hai Sheng Xue.

But no one expected that such a powerful figure would lose to that middle aged man.

All citizens of Zhou Dynasty knew that Fei Dian learned and practiced the Way of Cold Hawk. He was recognized for his swift and deadly speed. But that middle aged man was even faster and more powerful than him.

The people who didn’t know the identity of the middle aged man were shocked. They wondered, who is this man?

But Chen Chang Sheng and his crew obviously knew.

“Even after all these years, you, Jin Yu Lu, still rely on your strength and speed.” Fei Dian looked at his back and mocked.

Only after hearing this, the people in the street knew who Jin Yu Lu was. They were shocked without words.

After last night’s Ivy Festival, many people knew that Jin Yu Lu followed Princess Luo Luo and settled in the capital. The Yao General that even Emperor Tai Zong admired became a living legend so many years after the War. If he’s the middle aged man, then the outcome of this battle was determined before the fight even started.

No matter how fast Fei Dian was, he couldn’t be swifter than him.

Jin Yu Lu’s speed could rank amongst the top five in the entire continent.

Hearing Fei Dian’s swords, Jin Yu Lu still didn’t turn around, “Seven hundred years ago, you said the same words. Seven hundred years later, you haven’t changed a bit……..You specializes in strength and speed, but you are worse than me in both fields. What can I do about it?”

Truly talented young members of great background were protected by powerful people to insure their growth of becoming real xiuxingists. For example, when Tang Thirty Six came to the capital from Wen Shui, the principals of Heavenly Academy cared for him which is why no one from his family followed. But it was clear that his family didn’t expect him to leave Heavenly Academy after such a short period of time.

For three hundred years Fei Dian and Tian Hai Family had a good relationship. He was responsible of guarding the Northern Border so the Tian Hai Family sent Tian Hai Sheng Xue to the Northern Border so that he could learn and mature. Obviously Fei Dian became the protector of Tian Hai Sheng Xue in the Northern Border. Even after they returned to the capital, the relationship stayed the same.

This morning when Tian Hai Sheng Xue came to Tradition Academy to punish Chen Chang Sheng and his crew, Fei Dian didn’t say anything. He just followed behind with stealth because he knew something was off. As he expected, the three students of Tradition Academy were extraordinary, and at the end, even Jin Yu Lu appeared.

“If I remember correctly, you should be in Academy of Li Palace right now.”

Fei Dian accepted the handkerchief that Tian Hai Sheng Xue handed over and lightly wiped off the blood in the corner of his lips

At the same time, Jin Yu Lu reached the entrance of Tradition Academy. He took the handkerchief that Chen Chang Sheng handed over and wiped the rainwater off his face lightly. He turned, glanced at Fei Dian and said, “Why do I have to be in Academy of Li Palace?”

“Princess Luo Luo is currently living in Academy of Li Palace. This was requested by the Pope and the Queen.”

Fei Dian squinted across the dense rain curtain and said.

Jin Yu Lu laughed a little and asked, “And what does it have to do with me?”

Fei Dian wrinkled his eyebrows lightly, “You should understand, Emperor Bai let the Queen take care of your princess, therefore the words of the Queen is the same as the commands of Emperor Bai. That’s why even Princess Luo Luo needs to listen to her. You, as an official, dare to disobey the command of Emperor Bai?”

“The commands of Emperor Bai……I stopped obeying them several hundred years ago. If I remember correctly, you were also present at that moment. Have you forgotten?”

Jin Yu Lu’s smile vanished as he said expressionlessly, “Starting from the day my emperor announced that command, I was no longer an official of him. I’m not under the control of his orders anymore. My princess listened to the Divine Queen’s words because she’s the elder and Emperor Bai agreed to it. I don’t have to listen to the Divine Queen’s words because I’m not a Zhou Citizen, and the Queen isn’t my elder. Plus, Emperor Bai can’t command me anymore.”

“I’m an officer of my princess. I only listen to her words.”

“My princess told me to look after Tradition Academy, so I came to look after them.”

“Is there a problem?”

Fei Dian looked at him and his mood was complicated. He knew which command of Emperor Bai Jin Yu Lu was talking about. It was the one which members of Mountain Li delivered the military supplies late, and that they should be prosecuted. At that time, this event was known throughout the entire army and it split the force into two sides. It nearly destroyed the alliance between humans and Yao race.

Fei Dian sighed, “After several hundred years, your personality is still so stubborn. Your tone is still so forceful.”

Jin Yu Lu said expressionlessly, “At that time, I was responsible for carrying out military punishment, I killed countless people. I didn’t listen to Emperor Bai’s words, Emperor Tai Zong couldn’t handle me either. Why is this? Because I’m right. If I’m right, then why should I not be stubborn? Why should I not be forceful?”

Silence filled the Hundred Blossom Street. The only sound that could be heard was the noise of raindrops landing on the marble floor.

Of the dozens of people in front of the entrance of Tradition Academy and the hidden crowd in the depths of Hundred Blossom Street, no one spoke out.
