596 Seventh Slap 3 (1/2)
The Qi Kingdom might just be a small nation, but the fame of the Rui Lin Army, was known far and wide throughout the lands!
Known to be the most ferocious strike force, they had appeared right before the gates of the Zephyr Academy. What could they be here for?
”When Senior Lu left, didn't he say….. Senior Ning….. had attempted to have….. some General from the Rui Lin Army….. killed?” A quick minded youth suddenly remembered what Lu Wei Jie had claimed, just before he left.
On the day when Lu Wei Jie had been chased out of the Zephyr Academy, what he said then before his departure had kicked up a huge storm and it had dragged Ning Xin's reputation into the mud then. But the news that Jun Xie had murdered Li Zi Mu quickly overshadowed the accusations thrown at Ning Xin and they were slowly forgotten. With the Rui Lin Army appearing in such a grand fashion before the Zephyr Academy's gates, the matter that had almost faded from their memories quickly reignited and the rumour mill started whirring furiously once again, kicked into high gear.
[Does this mean that everything Lu Wei Jie said was the truth?]
Fan Qi hurried over to the main gates shortly after. When he saw the grand formation of the Rui Lin Army, a shock went through his body and his heart beat furiously.
Among the gathered mass of towering, proud, and stalwart warriors, Fan Qi could not help but notice a figure that looked totally different in contrast, a young girl seated high upon a warhorse in the front beside Long Qi, who commanded an unnaturally overwhelming presence. Her identity was most definitely someone extraordinary!
”I was not aware of General Long Qi's arrival and I hope you'll excuse my tardiness in my welcome. I would implore our respected guests to come in for a chat.” Fan Qi was trying his hardest to put forth a composed front. Since the last Spirit Hunt had ended, he had known that this dreadful day would come. The reason he had agreed to expel Lu Wei Jie and the others in such a hasty manner before was an attempt to appease the Rui Lin Army's and Mu Chen's rage.
Long Qi nodded and raised a hand up. More than a hundred soldiers behind him immediately pulled on their reins and all the warhorses stood rigidly still.
That precision and uniformity in the movements of the soldiers made all the eyes of the gathered disciples light up in awe, and their heartbeats reached a fervor, their blood coming to a boil.
The disciples were at that age where their youthful exuberance were at their peaks. Which youth among those disciples wouldn't idolise such an impressive array of fully armored soldiers?
Long Qi swung himself off his horse and extended his hands out to help the petite young girl beside him get off the tall horse.
