Chapter 1118: Myrth: 88

(Unedited)

…

While the two are playing around, Xin Ja heard some knocking on the door.

"Come in!" he called.

A beautiful young figure enters his room with a tray of food in her hands.

"Eh… Big sister Xue… How come you're not asleep yet?" Xin Ja asked with a smile.

"Hmm… I was a bit worried when your maidservant said that you have not eaten your dinner yet. So I made something for you… Come here, little Ja, this is a new recipe I made…" Yao Xue said as she put the food of tray on the table.

At this time, little Xuanlong was faster than the two of them as she excitedly dashed to the table while her eyes are glowing expectantly to the food on the tray.

"Hihi… This little fellow is too energetic and cute. You are very lucky to find such a beast in the forest as most of them are feral and wild…" Yao Xue commented while slowly putting the tray on the table.

When she lifted the cover, a delicious smell wafted in the air. The tongue of Xuanlong immediately came out of her huge mouth and drooled over the food.

Its cute facial expression made Xin Ja and Yao Xue smile.

"I think this little fellow is still hungry?" Yao Xue teases as she grabs a bowl and separates a portion of the food.

She then handed it to the little guy who is expecting the food while already turning around the table.

As soon as she puts the bowl on the table, the little fellow quickly grabs it with its little paw-like limbs. Then without hesitation, it dips its head on the soup.

Plunk!

The sound of its head hitting the soup sounded then suddenly a slurping sound followed.

In one go, the soup was finished.

It then showed a wide smile on its face as it looks at Yao Xue in delight. Its eyes darted on the large bowl and swallowed a mouthful of its saliva.

Yao Xue could not help but chuckle at the cute reaction of the small guy.

"Damn… you're a glutton are you? Xuanlong…" Xin Ja teases as he caresses Xuanglong's head.

"Hmm… Little brother Ja, I think Xuanlong is a girl, right? Why not call her with a girl's name, like Linglong… or Xuxu…" Yao Xue said with a smile while petting the little guy's chin.

"Nah… This is the name given to it by its mother… or father… I think it holds significance to its race…"

"Eh? Hmm… By the way… what kind of beast is this guy?"

"Hmm… That is a secret… Hehe…" How could Xin Ja tell her that this guy is a black dragon?

If he does then it might cause more trouble than good.

That night, the three have fun playing with the little fellow.

The next morning…

Xin Ja had a peaceful day in class, but later in the afternoon, he was called to the office of General Hou.

Inside the familiar room of General Hou, Xin Ja sits calmly inside while waiting for the general to come. When he arrived no one is around so he just enters the room and takes his seat.

"Sorry about that… I just had an emergency message from the frontlines." General Hou said as he enters the room and saw that Xin Ja is already inside.

"Ahem… So…" the General said as he looks at the young man before him.

"I have been thinking… and no matter what… I could not give up on a gifted young lad like you. I truly wanted to recruit you to the War Games… but before you react, hear me out first… The War Games does not only talks about the reward for the academy. But also for the whole town… if… I say, if we get a placement in the top ten for the city territory category, then the town could have a chance to grow because of the resources we can get…"

"Sigh… I know that you are worried about your teammates. I also heard of the action of the Ji family. And I am glad that nothing happened to you. I assure you that this would not happen again…" General Hou said with sincerity in his eyes.

"Umm… General… This… this would not happen again if you either kick those people out or I will not join the War Games…" Xin Ja said while biting his lower lips.

Silence envelopes the air in the room as General Hou lowers his head and began thinking.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.

He would not give up no matter what. He has seen what this young lad could do. Do not judge him because of his weak cultivation level. If push comes to shove, this little lad could even make a 5th level fighter run away in fear.

He knew this because of the incident where a Ji family henchman was killed. After doing some investigation he has learned that the henchman targeted a freshman before he was assassinated. In fact, the Ji family is pointing their finger towards the Xin manor. But if they push this issue, then Xin Jong would point out the attempted assassination of his son and cause trouble for the family. If this happens then the Ji family knows that they have more to lose.

So they stop this issue from growing and have already put a lid on it.

Plus Xin Jong might be a simple man from the town and would not use his advantages, but behind this guy, everyone knew of Master Wang... and no one dares offend that old man.

"Little Ja… How about this… How about I make you a special member? If… if the team needed your help, would you be willing to help us? For the academy… for the town…" General Hou brought out his last card.

"I assure you that you will be compensated properly…" he said as he takes out a banknote.

Xin Ja looks at the banknote on the General's hand and shakes his head.

"I would rather accept materials than money…" Xin Ja said with a smile.

He could feel the sincerity of the man before him. Plus the condition is to his advantage, only if the team is in trouble should he help. Then that would be fine then. He need not be involved with those guys on a daily basis.

Xin Ja was given a token which signifies that he is a member of the War Games team of Ogden Academy.

…

That night after bidding farewell to his friends in school, he quickly went home. He suddenly noticed that there is a line of carriages in front of the gate of their house. Xin Ja was a bit stunned upon seeing this sight. He did not know what is happening, so he quickly ran to the gate.

He was suddenly stopped by a few armored men.

"Who are you? Do not enter this premises…" a man said with a stern gaze.

Xin Ja's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly felt worried for his father and the people inside the house, so he immediately became guarded against the men wearing heavy armor. He could not think anymore and wanted to enter as soon as possible, so he asked...

"I should be asking who are you people? What are you doing in my house?!" Xin Ja said in a cold tone.

When the group heard this, they suddenly look at Xin Ja as if he is some kind of prey.

They came here to get something from Xin Jong, and they are commanded by their master that no one is permitted to escape.

So the few men charged at Xin Ja wanting to capture him.

Without hesitation, Xin Ja jumped back and a sword appears in his hand.

"Haha… You are a mere 1st level fighter… What can you do even with a sword?!" one of the charging guards said.

But before he knew it, the floor suddenly became slippery making him fall down. The people behind him followed suit and they all fall down on the ground.

Xin Ja did not hesitate to quickly jump up the wall while throwing a few needles on those heavily armored people. He might not be able to defeat them in a head-on battle, but upon falling they all became defenseless and careless. Hence their Ki was not able to stop his needles and penetrated their exposed body parts.

Upon jumping up the walls, Xin Ja quickly ran to his courtyard. That is where Yao Xue and his pet Xuanlong are staying. He is a bit confident of the rune array formation in that place, but he still could not help but worry.

So he began running as quickly as he can. He could already see the house being destroyed by the many heavily armored men. Now he is also worried for his father. But deep inside of him, he already knew that his father is a 10th level Ki fighter and is about to break through to the 11th Ki adept stage.

While running to his courtyard, he suddenly noticed that ahead of him there is a battle happening. And the battle is between two groups… the heavily armored men and a group of black-suited people. It seems that the black-suited people are fighting against the heavily armored men.

In his mind, he is asking…

"What is happening?"
