Chapter 8.6
Chapter Six – We Came For Him
That handsome male at the front was the young captain of the first-ranked mercenary company on the continent, Crimson Forge Mercenary Company, Rong Luo.
Hearing Lu Lan’s shout, Rong Luo raised an eyebrow in surprise and glanced at her. He responded with a light laugh, “Oh, it’s Lu Lan. But you are wrong, this is just a coincidence. I’m waiting here for someone. So Wolf Pack Mercenary Company sent you this time. You have to work hard and not lose to Flying Aspara and the others.
“Haha, a coincidence means that we have karma together.” When Lu Lan was greatly disappointed when she heard that Rong Luo had not come to receive her but was waiting for someone else. However, she smiled and then moved forward, “Brother Luo, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. I … … missed you greatly … …”
As Lu Lan, her head dropped in bashfulness. She thought that Rong Luo would respond to her but after waiting for a long while, she didn’t hear Rong Luo’s answer. She raised her head in slight anger, and saw Rong Luo walking in great strides in Aofeng’s direction. She stilled where she stood.
She was not the only one shocked. Even the people that had come with Rong Luo looked on in shock and puzzlement at each other. When did their usually steady young captain show such urgency? They had been the one to suggest that the company come here. Young Captain had been calm before this. Why did he suddenly change and become so rushed?
Rong Luo’s expression was tinged with surprise as he walked over with great urgency. Among the crowd, that
person attracted his gaze. While the mask covered half of the face, the presence was too similar to the youth in his memories.
For some reason, whenever he thought of that youth that he had only met once, he felt an unspeakable connection. People couldn’t help but want to protect and love that determined presence that was cold but contained gentleness. They had left so suddenly without even a goodbye. He didn’t know where the other was now, and if that family was still bullying him.
Was it really him? He also came to Neversetting Sun?
The world didn’t have any other sounds. He only heard the sound of his slightly rushed breathing.
Aofeng stood in her spot among the group and watched as Rong Luo walked towards her, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng with joy. Behind him, the light that came from the sun became a blinding curtain of five colored light that gave him a golden border.
The red lips unconscious curved in a smile. That reliable and warm feeling rose and spread through her body. Her intuition told her that he remembered her.
Finally, Rong Luo walked in front of Aofeng. He stood and gazed at her.
He asked in a deep and resonant voice with some nervousness, “You are … …”
“Brother Luo, you know this person?” Lu Lan who had been ignored stamped her feet and ran over. Her slightly shocked voice rose an octave as she said discontentedly, “Were you waiting for him?”
After Rong Luo stood still, a youth in the distance that had been beside him before pointed forward and said with an expression of joyful surprise, “Ah! Zhui Yun Daren! Brother Luo, your eyes are so keen. You found him before we did. Miss
Miss Lu Lan, yes, this is Zhui Yun Daren, the person we came for!”
As he spoke, the dozen mercenaries ran over. It was Thetan, Vino and the others. Aofeng immediately realized. Rong Luo had been waiting here because Thetan and Vino had urged him to come welcome “Zhui Yun!” But she still felt a great joy because she was sure when Rong Luo had just seen her, he definitely thought she was “Aofeng” and not “Zhui Yun”
The Wolf Pack Mercenary Company marveled at the att.i.tude of these people. The great majority of these people were ignorant of Aofeng’s strength. Li Sha and Lu Lan thought that she was an “arrogant person that put on a pretended air of coolness.” But this Crimson Forge Mercenary Company squad leader was respectfully calling this “youth” that wasn’t yet seventeen as “daren“? Was something wrong here!
