Chapter 1746: Chapter 1739: Reinforcents Arrive
It’s evident that although he strives to maintain his dignity, he still holds a certain disdain for Luo’er’s humble stance. From this perspective, Luo’er clearly bet correctly.
Actually, ever since stepping into Kyushu, Luo’er has consistently felt that whether it’s the Wen Family or the Wu Family, they all try their very best to maintain the greatest restraint towards him, frequently showing goodwill.
In this aspect, the Wen Family is particularly conspicuous.
Therefore, he deliberately showed weakness to Yichuan Xv to test his attitude towards him. If Yichuan Xv has a bad attitude, it would an that there are still considerable internal conflicts in the Wen Family.
But if Yichuan Xv imdiately changes his attitude, it ans the Wen Family is already united as one, and the orders from above can be easily communicated down below and promptly executed.
Of course, with Yichuan Xv’s such illustrious heritage, it is naturally not sothing of the lower ranks. The only person who can command him is probably his father, the current Hundred Chief, Yichuan Qing.
He helped Luo’er up, took a deep breath, then said solemnly, “It’s good that the Saint is unhard. We will wait here for a mont; reinforcents will arrive soon.”
“Thank you, General,” Luo’er nodded and said.
“The Saint need not be polite,” Yichuan Xv, not quite used to Luo’er’s complints, appeared a bit sluggish.
“By the way,” Luo’er seed to recall sothing and called out to Yichuan Xv, saying, “General Ming He protected us thoroughly, and because of that, suffered losses and requested to rest at the inn. Please, don’t hold it against them.”
“This is official business; no need for the Saint to worry,” Yichuan Xv said blandly.
“Just a humble request from ,” Luo’er persistently said.
Facing Luo’er’s request, Yichuan Xv seed unnatural, hesitated for a mont, then reluctantly nodded and said, “I will handle it fairly.”
“Thank you, General,” Luo’er bowed again.
Yichuan Xv breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left Luo’er’s room. He was left quite irritated by Luo’er’s attitude; the montum he had painstakingly built up just disappeared under Luo’er’s few attacks, leaving him no choice but to depart hastily.
The arrival of Yichuan Xv marked the failure of the Wu Family’s plan to reclaim the Saint. More than an hour after Yichuan Xv arrived, the sound of rumbling hooves was heard from outside the inn; a team of over five hundred Elite Cavalry ca galloping from the northeast, the dust kicked up by the hooves temporarily covering the sky.
These cavalryn were excellently equipped, wearing white garnts over green armor, riding tall horses two ters high, looking murderous, truly worthy of being the mansion’s troops of the Yichuan Clan.
Once the cavalry team halted, the leading rider spurred his horse to the inn’s front, then dismounted swiftly, ran to the gate in front of Yichuan Xv, knelt on one knee, and loudly said, “I apologize for arriving late; I beg the Young Lord for forgiveness.”
Yichuan Xv, expressionless, spoke slowly and deliberately, “You are the clan’s mansion troops; I am an Imperial Court General, not subordinate to you, no need to apologize.”
“But the Young Lord is also the Master…” the rider said awkwardly.
“Enough talk, quickly open the way and escort the Saint away,” Yichuan Xv said.
“Yes, understood!” The rider responded with an enthusiastic attitude.
“Hmph,” watching the rider leave, Yichuan Xv squinted his eyes, muttering under his breath, “If it weren’t for the orders from that person, I wouldn’t have co to this godforsaken place. That Saint, he’s exactly like him…”
As instructions were conveyed, the troops dismounted and began moving bodies, clearing the battlefield, opening a path that extended to the main road.
At this ti, the Dragon Trapping Array was finally lifted, confirming that Fulajie’er and Liseya were both safe and sound, allowing the Advance Team to breathe a sigh of relief.
They still didn’t understand how the Dragon Trapping Array was activated; while the mansion troops were cleaning the battlefield, they also destroyed the array cores deployed around the inn, leaving the Advance Team with no ans of investigation, forcing them to drop the matter.
This incident can be considered a major crisis for the Advance Team, because the Dragon Trapping Array rendered the magic in the air unmovable, reducing the team mbers’ combat capacity by over eighty percent. Whenever Luo’er thinks back to this matter, he can’t help but feel scared.
Of course, the Advance Team’s ordeal could only be said to be the result of coincidental accumulation. With Ming He and others being severely injured and unable to move, the Advance Team was forced to hold their ground, unable to leverage their Magic advantages, leading to the substantial crisis.
But fortunately, even losing so much combat capability, the Advance Team still withstood the enemy’s assault, and among this, Xing Hu’s contribution was significant.
When Xing Hu was first seen in Guyi Governnt, he gave people an impression of a naive youngster. Perhaps because of this stereotype, the team mbers subconsciously overlooked his actual combat capabilities.
Feng, as the sole Cultivator within the Advance Team, naturally had nothing special compared to other team mbers. But compared to Xing Hu, the difference was worlds apart.
Xing Hu had established his Foundation Building early on, thodically cultivating to his current state, so whether in basics or familiarity with the cultivation system, he far surpassed Feng.
Not to ntion, when it cos to magic reservoir, the two are not even in the sa league. According to Tangmo’s estimates, Xing Hu’s magic reservoir is at least twice as high as Feng’s, explaining why he dare take on two people’s attacks by himself.
Upon learning of Yichuan Xv’s identity, Xing Hu was exceptionally excited and, after discussing with Qingtang, wanted to find Yichuan Xv. Qingtang held tightly onto his sleeve, but no matter what, couldn’t stop him.
“Are you Yichuan Xv?” Xing Hu, pulling Qingtang along, ca to the gate and loudly asked, pointing at Yichuan Xv.
Hearing the babbling voice, Yichuan Xv slightly frowned, his expression sinking as he said, “Calling by na is quite impolite; didn’t your master teach you this?”
Hearing Xing Hu’s voice, the surrounding mansion troops crowded around, hands resting on their sword hilts, tensely watching Xing Hu.
“Why gather around, all retreat!” Yichuan Xv gazed around, lightly reprimanding.
“Understood…” Hearing his rebuke, the troops glanced at each other, retracting their stances, slowly retreating.
Confident in himself, Yichuan Xv believed this rash young man before him posed no threat. After all, one is in the Golden Core Realm, and the other in the Jiedan Realm, separated by a full realm.
“Impulsively running up, what do you want to do?” Yichuan Xv asked slowly.
“She,” Xing Hu said, pulling Qingtang forward, loudly questioning, “She’s one of your Yichuan Clan, why let her plight in the populace?”
“A mber of the Yichuan Clan?” Yichuan Xv squinted his eyes, raising his gaze to examine Qingtang.
She blushed, lowered her head, dared not et Yichuan Xv’s eyes, her body trembling slightly.
“Heh,” for so reason, Yichuan Xv suddenly emitted a mocking laughter, ceasing his examination of Qingtang.
“What do you an?” Xing Hu asked uncomfortably.
“Why should I believe your words?” Yichuan Xv said indifferently.
“I have proof, proof of her identity!” Xing Hu excitedly took out a cloth package from his bag.
Yichuan Xv glanced at the cloth package, completely undisturbed, then looked at Xing Hu and said, “All along, there have always been countless people holding so-called proofs, coming to the Yichuan Clan’s mansion seeking recognition. Among them, there are n and won, old and young, but most are fa-seeking petty folk yearning for wealth.”
“You refuse to acknowledge?” Xing Hu asked with surprise.
“Indeed, the Yichuan Clan has many descendants across states, but the majority have records within the family. These proactive arrivals claiming lineage, although seemingly flawless, are unaware that the Yichuan Clan knows every descendant’s roots,” Yichuan Xv said lightly.
“What do you an?”
“I an if she truly is a descendant of the Yichuan Clan, then the Yichuan Clan would have records, not easily letting any descendant fall to the populace. In other words, without such records, even with ample evidence, you cannot prove she’s a descendant of the Yichuan Clan,” Yichuan Xv explained.
“You haven’t even looked at the evidence, yet you’re jabbering away!” Xing Hu said angrily.
“The Yichuan Clan seeks people, never looking at so-called proofs, because we have our own proof, understand?” Yichuan Xv coldly chuckled and said.
