Chapter 95: Actually, I am very ugly (I)
Ye Hua glanced at Long Hao Chen, and said with a snort, āStinky kid, so this was your background . ā
Long Hao Chen lowered his head, āTeacher, Iā¦ā
Ye Hua waved his hands and said, āNo need to tell me . In fact, when that fatty Nalan let me teach you, I already knew that you had a peculiar background, otherwise, how could you have attained this level of cultivation at such a young age? Is this background your father?ā
Ye Hua patted his shoulder, āNo need to overthink this, I donāt blame you . Besides, your luck is indeed quite bad, to meet an opponent of the fifth step in this match . Although you won, your secret has been exposed . ā
Long Hao Chen gave Ye Hua a concerned look . His mind in disorder, he approached Ye Huaās ear and told him something in a very low voice .
Ye Huaās eyes were instantly wide open, and he looked at Long Hao Chen, astonished .
Long Hao Chen nodded at his direction .
Ye Huaās ice-cold face revealed a smile even uglier than a crying expression, before giving him a thumbs up .
āTeacher, what is a retainer knight?ā Long Hao Chen asked, full of curiosity .
Ye Hua answered, āWhat you gained this time was quite convenient . A retainer knight is like the retainer warriors of a mage . The sole difference, is that oneās retainer knight can be considered as his servant, rather than a regular partner of his . The fact he made an oath implies that if you are to meet a dangerous situation, he will have no other choice than to risk his life by your side . Itās like a human shield . According to the rules and regulations of the Demon Hunt Squads, this kind of existences called retenues are normally not allowed, but knight retenues are the exception . If a knight is a Retribution Knight, then he is permitted to have a training Guardian Knight as his retinue . It is because in regard to Demon Hunt Squads, Guardian Knights are extremely useful . ā
āOnly, there is almost no knight that is willing to become someoneās retinue . Consequently, you can be said to have picked up a treasure . And this retinue is in addition a knight of the fifth step! When you will enter a Demon Hunt Squad in the future, in terms of sustainability, he will be extremely useful . Furthermore, for having reached the fifth step before his 25 years-old, his background cannot be so simple . ā
Long Hao Chen scratched his head, and said, āBut, his cultivation level is higher than mine, he may not necessarily accept this . ā
Ye Hua showed a mysterious smile, āYou are looking down on the oath of a retainer knight . No matter how proud he is, under this oath, you will be his everything, his master . Even if deep inside, he doesnāt accept it, all his thoughts will have to be directed to your sake . ā
āTeacher, Iāll be returning first, I have already fully recovered and I also have to rest for tomorrowās match . ā Long Hao Chen hadnāt forgotten the promise he made to Caiāer, and now that his match had ended, he felt an urge to fulfill it as soon as possible .
Ye Hua nodded, and gave his agreement, āGo . However, donāt be over-hasty, there will be no need for you to participate in tomorrowās match . ā
āHuh?ā Long Hao Chen stared at him, completely astonished .
The nearby Li Xin was smiling, āFoolish brother, did you forget about the vacant place? If no one else other than you can beat a knight of the fifth step today, how could it run out of your palm?ā
Long Hao Chen suddenly realized that now that he had defeated Han Yu, he should be able to seize this vacant place!
If the competition was the only issue, he wouldnāt be particularly rejoiced, because he hoped to increase his combat experience against powerful opponents, while arousing his potential .
But this last day was different . He was indeed on the verge of having his spiritual energy liquefied, after figuring out how [Storing Power] could be used as a training method . In such circumstances, what he needed the most was some time of quiet practice .
Exiting the Knight Stadium, Long Hao Chen impatiently headed at running pace to Caiāerās location . In a distant place, he saw Caiāer who calmly stood there . She had stood at the same place of the street as before, for a long time, just like a sculpture, and was dressed up the same way as the last times .
The sunlight was sprinkled across her body, and under its warm rays, her purple hair seemed to have acquired a crystal-clear gloss .
āCaiāer . ā Long Hao Chen called out, running at full speed toward her .
As soon as she heard his voice, Caiāer was shaken, but when she felt him approaching, she felt an intense chill scattering all over her body .
āCaiāer, whatās up?ā Long Hao Chen was startled, suddenly stopping .
Caiāerās voice didnāt have the slightest coldness, āYou are injured? Who was it that injured you?ā As she was speaking, she lifted up her hand, naturally grabbing Long Hao Chenās .
Long Hao Chen had a curious look, āHow do you know that I am injured?ā
Caiāer said, āI could hear it . Although I cannot see, my hearing is a lot better than ordinary peopleās . Your breathing is unnatural, so it is clear that you have been wounded . ā At this moment, the chill she felt in her body had appeased, and she let go of Long Hao Chenās hand .
Long Hao Chen chuckled, āItās nothing . I am participating in the Demon Hunt Selection of the Alliance and today, I encountered a powerful opponent, so I have received minor injuries, but nothing serious . However, I won . Right, I havenāt told you yet, but I am a knight . Today, I had a good match, and since there will be a vacant place tomorrow, I should already be in the top ten . ā
āMh . ā Caiāer lightly nodded, and her body wasnāt sending out chills anymore .
āLetās go, Iām sending you back . ā This time, it was Long Hao Chen who took the initiative to grab her little hand, slowly pulling her in the direction of her hotel .
The two youths slowly walked . The atmosphere was very quiet, and Long Hao Chen advanced slowly, just like a kid first learning how to walk . As the sunlight sprinkled across their bodies, a pleasant, warm feeling filled them as their heartbeats sped up .
However, no matter how slow they were, the path would finally meet its end .
In the instant they stopped in their tracks, a change appeared in Long Hao Chen; he was inwardly reluctant to part with her . After feeling the warmth of when he was holding her hand, he was unwilling to let it go .
āRest quickly when you return . I will be waiting for you tomorrow . ā Caiāer quietly said .
āOkay . I will definitely come early, tomorrow Iāll be taking the vacant place, so Iāll be able to come first and wait for you . ā
His heart couldnāt bear to separate from her, āGo in first, Iāll wait for you to enter before leaving . ā
But Caiāer shook her head and said, āI want to hear your footsteps as you leave, is it okay?ā
He didnāt know why, but every time Long Hao Chen saw her expressionless eyes, he was unable to decline her, āOkay, then be careful when you go back, okay . ā
āDonāt try to take risks like you did today, in your future matches . ā Caiāer suddenly said .
Long Hao Chen chuckled, āI am not taking risks, I am being diligent . If I donāt try my utmost to become more powerful, who will be here to protect you?ā At this point, he clearly felt that his heart was beating a lot faster . He didnāt dare stay here any longer, and left Caiāer, quickly running .
Listening to the sound of his steps as he was leaving, Caiāerās face became ice-cold once again, āHe was wounded . Fortunately, itās nothing serious . ā Her body suddenly flashed with an intense killing intent .
