Volume 1 Chapter 5 (1/2)
Recap from last chapter: Qin Aofeng is invited by Jun Luoyu go to the mission camp and encounters Qin Aoluo who confronts her.
Chapter Five Provocation
”Father, he … …” Qin Aoluo still stubbornly pointed at Aofeng's nose and did not understand why his father was stopping him.
”Enough! From now, I do not want to hear the words good-for-nothing!” Jun Luoyu's black eyes glanced across the members of the Qin Family. His lazy voice was not stern, but carried innate authority. The crowd of people, Qin Wu included, couldn't help but shudder.
Qin Wu was shocked inside. He had always heard that the Holy Emperor of Radiance Magus Church was astoundingly powerful at a young age. He was called the greatest magister genius of Radiance Magus Church in the past century. Originally, he hadn't believed a youth not even twenty could be so powerful. Only now did he feel the enormous power that Jun Luoyu was giving off in his faint anger.
The starry blue dots of blinding light jumped around the handsome male. That was shamanic power which only the strongest of the continent possessed!
The cultivation of magisters started with magic power, usually called magic. Magister, senior magister, spirit magister, the magisters in these low levels used magic. Only sky magisters would use shamanic power that was of a higher level.
Before six sword level, magic was colorless and intangible. After breaking through the barrier between six and seven sword, crossing a dividing line to being able to possess magus beasts, magic would become faint green energy flows. When one reached senior magister, magic would become verdant green, and as the number of swords increased, the color would grow darker. The magic of spirit magisters was inky green. After breaking through sky level to become a sky magister, the shamanic power that was created after the transformation was light blue.
The various leaders dressed in armor and long robes were shocked when they saw this faint layer of blue. Their expressions became even more respectful. A sky magister's power was almost the total of everyone else here added together!
Aofeng saw this and noted it down.
Strength was everything, the strongest the most honored, the rules of this world were so simple and cruel.
”But Holy Emperor Daren, our Qin Family did not invite him to attend. He does not have the qualifications … …” Even now Qin Aoluo had not managed to undertstand. He pointed at Aofeng and wanted to say something but Jun Luoyu interrupted him.
”I brought him along, he is my personal bodyguard, a mercenary I just hired, of no relation to your Qin Family!”
The steely voice was unquestionable!
Jun Luoyu wasn't just a bit angry right now. He had heard some things about Aofeng's birth, but not that he would be so disliked. They hadn't even reached the campsite and people were already popping out of the woodwork. He couldn't help but feel on the other behalf. More than ten years with the label of good-for-nothing over the other’s head, how much hurt had the other endured?
A hint of compa.s.sion flashed through the man’s eyes without anyone detecting it.
Personal guard?
The surrounding people stared at each other with open mouths, but strangely, none made a sound.
Which family that had some influence in this Kaya Empire had not heard of the good-for-nothing Seventh Young Master of Qin City? A good-for-nothing being a mercenary? A joke like this had never occurred in Luska’s history.
But the words came from Holy Emperor Jun Luoyu. Even if he was pointing at a dead bird and saying it was alive, they would all have to solemnly say it was alive.
After Jun Luoyu repeatedly spoke up for Aofeng, Qin Aoluo finally knew what was happening. He stared with shock at Jun Luoyu. He looked at Jun Luoyu who was standing in front of Aofeng and staring at him with daggers in his eyes. He didn’t understand how this good-for-nothing had formed a connection to Holy Emperor Daren. Two day ago, the other had clearly been hiding in his room and gasping for air due to his wounds.
Qin Aoluo was not the only one who did not understand. There were not many here that knew the truth. Even Aofeng herself didn’t know why Jun Luoyu had picked her out. But next to him, she would feel as though she was being carefully protected and cared for. While she did not say anything, she was moved inside.
“Daren, we understand. Aofeng, congratulations on receiving Holy Emperor Daren‘s favor to become Daren‘s personal guard.” QIn Wu pulled his son behind him and smiled shamelessly.
“Yes, yes, congratulations, Seventh Young Master Aofeng!”
“Seventh Young Master is young, and has unlimited potential!”
The surrounding leaders of the mercenary companies and large families also woke up and gave their good wishes. Numerous Qin Family members looked at Aofeng with jealousy at having gone up in the world.
Aofeng calmly faced the sincere and insincere congratulations. She occasionally nodded, but from beginning to end, she didn’t speak. Her clever eyes saw the thoughts of everyone around her.
These people looked friendly but they did not have good intentions. If she really was that good-for-nothing Seventh Young Master from the past, she would probably be so frightened by this kind of scene so much that her legs would have given out. She would not have been able to handle this.
