Chapter 289 “Nothing to be gallant about” (Part one)

Originally Du Wei also worried about those Xieni guys not giving up and would try for another roadside killing again, but the following afternoon his subordinates ca their shi+p on both sides of the river

Co out of his cabin and up the deck, Du Wei pro along the river bank in parallel to Du Wei's group At first he frowned, but then Maxi: ”Duke, these Holy Knights are from the Heishan faction They are here to protect us”

He then went on to explain that due to his shi+p being wrecked after the first attack, he used the Te information back to the capital and requested for aid These Holy Knights should be the safety precautions sent from the Heishan faction to protect him

The Heishan faction has always advocated neutrality, recognizing only the standard of the law and not the person, justifiably fair in that regard No ht between the Mosa faction and the Xieni faction becoet involved even if death occurs However, if the Xieni faction continues to attempt an assassination on the archbishop while under their protection, the members of the Heishan faction will absolutely not allow it

This group of Holy Knights consisted of approxihts After Du Wei's , he sent one of his smaller boats to the shore and received the leader of this company

Out of Du Wei's expectation, this leading knight was incredibly an eighth level o, as one of the top three knights in the order and the one responsible for slaying the other two knight leaders, sohth level

For the Teht on this ards Maxireat importance

This eighth level knight was clearly a person of indifference Upon boarding the shi+p, this person remains emotionless in his salute and only uttered a set of dry words to brief the bishop on his order of protect him until they reach the capital In addition, towards Maxiht actually reacted like he was ungrateful and only replied with a soft mutter: ”The responsibility is mine, bishop need not be polite”

To call this fellow lukeas an understateht had little to no respect and only nodded before turning away Afraid Du Wei would be angry at the disregarding attitude, Maximos was the first to step in to explain: ”Duke, please don't blame him for the lack of etiquette These fellows from the Heishan faction are always like this They advocate harsh training so they don't hold s like status and power For the people of the Te accustomed to these iven a nickna them the Heishan faction, it's more suited to call them 'black faced' faction”

(Heishan and black face sounds very similar in chinese so it's like a rhyme)

Well Du Wei's not the vitriolic type to hold grudges Besides, after learning all the dirty secrets of the Temple, his vieards these Heishan fellas that advocates harsh training for self-cultivation was in fact thefactions

If every member of the Temple was like the Heishan faction, then this world wouldn't have to face so much trouble

Thinking of this, Du Wei's sight fell upon theslowly in parallel to his shi+p, hisinto a trance without his notice…

With the Holy Knights of the Heishan faction as their protector, the following trip becaly peaceful The Xieni faction likely knows it's not possible to carry out their plot at this point so the plan for assassination was likely dropped

On the contrary, in addition to the reception on the first day, that eighth level ain in the cos days as if he's constantly on alert

For the first tili style of these members of the Heishan faction On the course of the next few days aboard his shi+p, Du Wei naturally lived well and ate ithout exerting hihts had always reht, not even once to the point where they would eat and sleep atop of their horses! For three days and three nights, they carried out their duties impeccably as if they are men of steel!

Du Wei uys It's as Maxi, Du Wei must add another word to their name, 'abusive'

During his chats with Maxih the Holy Knights had long been infiltrated by both the Xieni faction and the Mosa faction, but the backbone of the Holy Knights are comprised hts that was bordering on the line of being hts that endures the harshest training would achieve the strongest strength

Heaven rewards the diligent; this truth remains true whether it be the ancient times or the modern era
