Lian Chengyu was alarmed. Yi Yun had suspected that he was injured!
“Instructor Yao!” Lian Chengyu shouted angrily.
Yao Yuan sighed and transmitted words into Yi Yun’s ears silently, “Little brother, today I will not go against you. That’s because I respect you as a young warrior, do you need to be so difficult?”
Yao Yuan’s words made Yi Yun stop. He didn’t know how to transmit words silently, so he could only look at Yao Yuan and cup his fists.
That was the reason why Yao Yuan didn’t make any moves. Although Yao Yuan was one of the ruling class in the Lian tribal clan, he had a strong sense of chivalry, and didn’t play a part in Lian Chengyu’s vile actions.
“Instructor Yao is right, little me gives his thanks. Little me extremely admires Instructor Yao as a person. Little me will go ahead first. See you tomorrow at noon!”
Yi Yun’s words were polite to Yao Yuan. In fact, Yao Yuan was Yi Yun’s first master. He had taught him the most basic cultivation technique “Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist”, although Yi Yun had learnt it secretly.
Yi Yun squeezed through the crowd and headed towards the Lian Clan Herb Mountain after saying those words.
He was worried about Jiang Xiaorou’s safety, so he didn’t expose the treehouse’s location. He planned to jump down from the chasm of the herb mountain into the East River and going with the flow down to the waterfalls. As such, no one would be able to guess where he stayed.
…
The next morning, Yi Yun opened his eyes as he finished meditating.
The day had finally arrived. Today, the Jin Long Wei ambassador would come to the Lian tribal clan to bring them to the Kingdom’s selection!
“Yun-er, just do your best, but don’t insist on it. You are still young and have plenty of time ahead of you. Our days will become better and better, so don’t do things out of spite, as for acting on impulse…”
“I got it Sis Xiaorou.”
Knowing it was the day of Yi Yun’s departure, Jiang Xiaorou had been advising Yi Yun. Hearing these heartwarming words he said, “Sis Xiaorou, you have to be by yourself in these few days. I have prepared all the food for you. Don’t wander around.”
Yi Yun had guessed that he could not bring Jiang Xiaorou into this foray to the Tao tribal clan for the Kingdom’s selection. He was just an unimportant candidate, and had to sit on one of the mounts the Jin Long Wei had. It was impossible for him to bring someone along.
Thankfully the Lian tribal clan’s back mountain was extremely broad. To hide Jiang Xiaorou was easy. Also Lian Chengyu would be leaving the Lian tribal clan to participate in the Kingdom’s selection, so it eased Yi Yun’s mind. As long as Jiang Xiaorou hid herself, the back mountain was very safe as there were no beasts there.
Finally, as a last measure of protection, Yi Yun gave the protective charm old man Su had given him to Jiang Xiaorou. That yellow tattered pulp, that was comparable to toilet paper had been kept by Yi Yun all this while. The only hope he had was that old man Su was not pulling a prank on him.
To pull a prank using a defensive item, that old fool would be extremely wicked.
Yi Yun left. He was like an agile antelope, and moved towards the Lian tribal clan with great speed!
When Yi Yun came to the Lian tribal clan, the entire top brass of the Lian tribal clan had came out to receive the Jin Long Wei ambassadors.
The Jin Long Wei ambassador came punctually at noon.
He was a large man with ashen black skin. Riding on a standard issue Jin Long Wei mount, he arrived at the Lian tribal clan with a commanding aura.
“Who will be participating in the Kingdom’s selection?”
This ambassador’s words were short and sweet, with bold undertones.
The ten people including Yi Yun and Lian Chengyu stepped forward.
“Get on!” The ambassador waved his hands and cut to the chase. As such, the ten candidates mounted the ambassador’s mount.
Although the mount was tall, with ten people on it, it became extremely crowded. The Jin Long Wei ambassador sat on the spacious back of the beast, while the rest sat on the sides, practically shoulder to shoulder.
Of course, Lian Chengyu was given more room by the other eight members of the warrior preparation camp. As henchmen, they needed to ensure their master was comfortable. That was the duty of a henchman.
With limited space, and Lian Chengyu enjoying a large amount of room, Yi Yun naturally did not have much room. He was squeezed in the middle of two men, but Yi Yun was not bothered by it.
