Silver Condor thought for a long tiht words to describe the young Dragon King The Khan wasn’t in a hurry, but he hiuilty of dereliction of duty, for which he secretly blamed himself
He revered the old man in front of him, not as a God or the Khan, but more as a father or elder brother The tere separated by a great difference in age and status but that didn’t affect the trust and tacit understanding between the two
This wasn’t a friendshi+p between an old King and a young guard because Silver Condor would never forget his identity and the old Khan would also never treat him as someone of equal status, even in private
Many years ago, Silver Condor had thoroughly reflected on this and finally drawn a conclusion that he had been tamed
He had transfor and falcon attached to his es in his personality and he missed the lost freedom, easiness, and satisfaction for a short while The old Khan had seen everything in his eyes but instead of repriiven a year’s holiday
He had returned to the southern area and reexamined the former martial arts world he used to wander, this time as a bystander Three months later, he returned to the Royal Court, canceled his holiday, and completely abandoned his old name From then on, he called himself Silver Condor even at ho as freedohu was yet another net, chaotic and broken, which, if compared with the Royal Court, did appear to be more free But it was actually an illusion, and there was nothing substantial worth showing off
The so-called avenging and satisfying oneself without hesitation was just another word for bullying the weak and fearing the strong There was always an invisible line separating those they could kill and those they would be better off not touching
Even the brotherhood of Jianghu was like a minuscule court, which appeared fair on the surface while concealing extreme inequality There was always one person who above the crowd, and below hiates, and brokers who had their own place and could never overstep their line
The one on top was also far froether like an indestructible systee of the ‘Invincible Saber King’ were determined by those around him and he himself was merely a tool that wielded the saber
Since freedom was illusory, Silver Condor decided to be a down-to-earth wing guard of the Khan The relationshi+p between hioodany shame or pride
It was exactly because of this rare and peaceful hly of him and place in him unusual trust, exemplified by that fact that he had been entrusted with the task of testing the Dragon King
“There’s a kind of dog that can’t be tamed by temptation or coercion, and even if bones are placed on a plate, it will still eat while staying on guard, and may even bite itsis called ais not a , he is a little crazy, and he’s channeled the hed out loud, his voice fading but his sth he needed to laugh Nu was insidious, cruel and heartless and that he did not act like a uard around hi characteristic as ‘madness’
“YouMoon Hall”
Silver Condor was stunned for a short moment He knew very little about this sect that was dominated by fey
With hissoundlessly Then he said, “A madman may not be a hero, but all heroes are madmen Without a crazy will and ambition, no one can bear the loneliness, the setbacks, and the weight of killing that all takes place along the path of a hero You have keen eyes The Dragon King is a e? How eful people can keep their ene, and maybe I still am, but there isn’t much madness left now”
Silver Condor’s cold face also showed a smile This was the most iuard; He was not a madman, and could not beco be tay of the ht be possible for the Khan
“Yes, death ta is probably not as crazy as you think” The old Khan kindly winked, indicating he had also observed the Dragon King through his own on King It was a necessary process Just like the ht hion King, but it was up to the Dragon King to decide if he could accept it or not
Gu Shenwei and Shangguan Fei arrived at the palace right on tiined As many as two hundred people had been invited, ames of the Tournament of the Royal Court At least half of them were ordinary herdsmen, someone who had had the fattest sheep or cattle, or so skills
There were quite a few nobles present, but none of the ten kings attended
It was more like a feast to bask in happiness with the coon King in advance that the real private ht be after the banquet and asked hion King was arranged to sit very close to the uan Fei on his left and a royal uan Fei was so excited that he hardly touched the dishes and wine on the table and instead kept his eyes fixed on the Khan, hoping to hear a cootten about this champion of the warrior contest in ahim
The Khan also only stayed for a very short amount of tiement on behalf of him when he raised his wine cup, then he sat down for a short while, and soon after left the table
Shangguan Fei sighed deeply with disappointment etched into his face
After the luncheon, he becauests had left the palace to boast to their friends and fauan Fei and the Dragon King had been informed to stay to attend a smaller dinner
Gu Shenwei had been able to closely observe the Khan for the first time but still wasn’t able to form a clear impression
He was a s he was over seventy years old, but the patches on his face had obviously showed that he was very old and only those who adnore the obvious traces of death
In the hearts of the Norland commoners, this was a Godlike ruler; in the description of his descendants, this was a ruthless oppressor; in the mouth of his consorts, this was a lustful ht immortality at all costs
