Chapter 1148

(Unedited)



When Senior Yao walks to the group, the veiled Yao Xue just followed her figure and one could tell that her emotion under that veil is a bit turbulent. Yao Mai Lin is the cousin that Yao Xue treated as her sister. They grew up together and would secretly stay together as Yao Mai Lin likes to visit her almost every day.

When they grew up, the communication between them lessens, but the two would secretly meet, like secret lovers, and would stay together telling each other their woes in life.

Yao Mai Lin is the big sister that Yao Xue never had. She is her idol, someone she looks up to, and someone she wanted to be when growing up.

But she has to hide her talent in the family and never tried doing anything at that time. But deep in her heart she truly wanted to be like her older cousin, Yao Mai Lin.

Her brothers and sisters have ostracized her but she did not mind that especially when she and Yao Mai Lin became close.

But now, two of the most beloved people in her life are going to face danger, how could she stay calm at this moment?

A calm hand touches her shoulder.

"Do not get agitated… Trust in your little brother's abilities… trust that he will come back to us…" Xin Jong whispered.

The words that Xin Jong said made the heart of Yao Xue feel a bit calm. She recalled that her little brother Xin Ja has the ability to survive anywhere he would go. He could even survive in the forest, how much more on the battlefield? Although she still could not remove the feeling of anxiety deep within her heart.



Meanwhile, Yao Mai Lin is pacifying the hearts of her teammates and coach. She is greeting each of the people in front of her except for one… Wing Cao Jun.

No matter what he says she would not answer him and would brush him off. This causes the guy to be embarrassed and keep his silence.

He could now feel the coldness that she is giving him and this made him feel that something is wrong. Deep inside his mind, he is asking the question if Senior Yao knew what really happened that day. Is she suspecting him?

Then suddenly a strange idea came to his mind as he glared in Xin Ja's direction.

"It must be him! That guy… That guy is the one who told Yao Mai Lin! Damn it! I will kill him!" he thought as he grits his teeth and clenches his fists in anger.

"How could she know when my action is perfect? If not for that busy body, then she would have already mine!" he thought as he glares in Xin Ja's direction.

At this time, Xin Ja shifted his gaze and meets the glaring eyes of Senior Wing. Instead of reacting weirdly and confused, Xin Ja showed a faint smile on his face.

The visitation is over and the troops are about to leave the town.

Who would have known that when the troops are marching in formation, Xin Ja would see some familiar figures?

"Ey? Isn't that Rou Xieshang?" he thought as he observe the woman standing in line.

That's right… he noticed that Rou Xieshang is actually in the army. Plus, beside her seems to be those admirers of her.

"This is something that I did not expect to see…" Xin Ja muttered as he shook his head while walking in his assigned company.

When he stood in line, Xin Ja is waiting for the army to march off. But then suddenly two soldiers who seem to be officers walk in front of him.

"Are you… Xin Ja?" one of the officers asked.

"Yes…" Xin Ja replied.

"Alright… Come with us…" the officer said as they turn around and leave.

Xin Ja was a bit hesitant and a bit confused but he still follows behind the two soldiers.

Xin Ja then noticed that Rou Xieshang actually saw him leaving. He could see her glaring at him in anger. But it seems that she is also afraid of the regulations in the army. It seems that even though she is somewhat a spoiled young woman, she still knows how to follow the law.

Xin Ja walks towards a long line of carriages where there are already a few people inside. He was led to a carriage.

"Enter…" the officer said.

As he enters the carriage, he saw two figures already inside it.

It was a middle-aged man and another man in his 30's. The two looks like they belong to some guild. Xin Ja greeted them by cupping his hands and taking a seat.

A carriage can fit 3 people, so the three of them would be sharing the carriage in this travel.

"Are you a medical apprentice?" the man asked while looking at Xin Ja.

Judging from his youthful face, the man could tell that Xin Ja is still a student.

"Umm… An Alchemist…" Xin Ja said with a smile.

The two frown and do not reply as they continue minding their own business.

The army troops began marching forth and from the direction, they are heading Xin Ja knew that it would be towards the Ogden Southern Gate Village.

Xin Ja did not idle around and take out a knife and pieces of bones. He then began to carve runes on the bones little by little.

His small action was not noticed by the two with him at first, but as he continues carving runes to the bones, they began to be curious, and soon the two are already watching him.

Xin Ja has already made ten pieces of defensive bone rune, but still, he is not satisfied, he knew that he has to make more. So he did not stop etching runes on one piece of a thumb-sized bone after another.

"Those are defensive runes, right?" the man asked while watching Xin Ja putting the completed bone runes inside his pouch.

Xin Ja did not reply and just nodded his head. He then proceeds to take out another set of thumb-sized animal bones and began etching another set of runes.

"Young lad… Give me a portion of your bone runes…" suddenly the middle-aged man said in a cold manner.

It was as if he did not care for Xin Ja's opinion and just wanted to get his things from him. It was this act that suddenly ticks off Xin Ja's nerves.

He heard the guy, but he did not want to listen to him. He continues etching runes on the bones. His action made the middle-aged man frown in displeasure. His calm expression turned into irritation as he looks at the young man who is ignoring him.

"Did your parent not teach you a lesson about respecting your elders? You are nothing but a student, how dare you ignore me…" the middle-aged man scolded.

Xin Ja did not bother with the guy and continued with his work. In fact, he is actually irritated and wanted to reply to the man, but the disrespect that guy shows him has already made Xin Ja annoyed. So how could he show respect to the guy?

But then suddenly, he remembers that he is in the army now, and if he made some trouble it would become hard for him. So he puts down the bones in his hand and stopped working on them. He then cupped his hands towards the middle-aged man and said.

"I am making these runes for myself. If you wanted to… you can buy them from others. As for me, I only have enough for my own use." Xin Ja said with a respectful tone.

The middle-aged man glared at him and suddenly slammed one of his fists on the seat.

"How audacious! Do you know who I am? Do you know who you are talking to?" the middle-aged man shouted while glaring at the Xin Ja.

Xin Ja did not show anything on his face, but his hand is already prepared on his side. This middle-aged man is at level 3, so if he uses one of his runes and combines it with his Ki enveloped sword, then he has a chance to defeat this old guy in one go. But of course, he still has to think of the consequence of his action after doing that.

But deep in his heart, he is already calculating on a plan B. Because riding in a carriage is peaceful, it means that the people inside are either alchemists or medical masters. So this means that the people in this class are either with a rank or someone with a status in the town.

"I cannot hurt him… I could only follow plan B." he thought.

Suddenly the man sitting with them in the carriage interrupted the two.

"There is no need to fight, right? We belong to the same team. Young lad, why not share some of your runes… We are one team after all…" the man said with a smile.

Xin Ja feels a bit angered at that man's words. But he showed a smile.

He suddenly had an idea.

"Well, I can share but what can you give me seniors? Since we are one team, then should seniors also share your stuff, right?" he said with a smile.
