Chapter 478 - One Must Not Forget His Origin (2/2)
“This is my friend.”
“It’s against the rules..”
“I say Sakra, are we done yet? Our disciple hardly comes back and when he does, you dampen the spirit.”
“It’s against…”
“Alright, don’t speak!” Ferrero raised his hand. “I will take Qin Fen and his company out of the island. Anyway, I’m the head of the Invitation Department of External Affairs Division. It’s within the rules for me to go out and invite someone in, right? You live and maintain your rules here, okay…”
Just as Ferrero turned around he felt the corner of his clothes being pulled. He turned and looked at Sakra’s vermillion face, he noticed a hard-to-detect blush on it.
“Go get her an invitation card and go through the formalities.”
Azia’s voice was cold as ever but Ferrero could find the rare compromise in the voice of his old opponent who never compromised all because of the sudden appearance of their common disciples.
“What’s your name?”
“Lin Ling…”
Ferrero left the room with a smile but he dared not make Sakra’s face too ugly. While moving as swiftly as the wind, Ferrero recalled the gradual change in Sakra’s contradictory attitude towards Qin Fen. He even knew how to bend the rules.
“Qin Fen this kid… is really a fantastic kid.”
Ferrero said to himself with a smile as he made up formalities for Lin Ling. Lin Ling inadvertently created a record of being the fastest one to enter the Sacred Martial Hall after being invited.
At the same time, Ferrero also knew that Lin Ling would break a record set by Qin Fen, and that would be the time interval between joining the Sacred Martial Hall and leaving the Sacred Martial Hall.
Ferrero returned to Azia’s office and pushed Azia to one side, speaking very impolitely, “You have occupied the apprentice for a while now. Now, it should be my turn to be with him.”
Sakra immediately made a knife-hand strike towards Ferrero. I have been tolerating you for a long time. It is really hard for the disciple to come back and you actually dare to grab him from me!? I can’t take it anymore!
Ferrero crossed his arm as he hammered his head straight at Sakra while speaking non-stop, “Why? You finally want to do it? Good! Let’s show the apprentice who among his two masters is really fearsome.”
Sakra was also not polite. He threw the elbow of his chopping palm towards Ferrero’s hammering head.
The two heads of the Sacred Martial Hall told Qin Fen by their actions what the real strength of a Sacred Martial Hall’s head was. Although the two heads hadn’t used much of their real strength and were switching their offense and defense quickly while sitting still, the onlooking Qin Fen admired them continuously, nevertheless.
At first, only the sofa in the room was creaking but very soon, the tiles started to creak as well. Then, the whole building started creaking. Qin Fen had no doubt that the ground around the room was also quaking.
Lin Ling slowly got up and took a step back, calmly looking at the two heads of the Sacred Martial Hall without speaking a word.
The creaking stopped as they stopped fighting… the two heads were a bit embarrassed. Lin Ling gave up the seat next to Qin Fen.
“Hehe, what an interesting girl.” Ferrero jumped to the position where Lin Ling was sitting. “You are indeed my disciple’s confidant.”
Lin Ling’s expression was still as calm as if she hadn’t heard Ferrero’s words but her pupils were shaking ever so slightly at this moment.
“Kid, you didn’t come back to see the young me and the old bag of bones, Sakra, did you?”
Azia turned a deaf ear to Ferrero’s words. Qin Fen’s appearance was a very, very happy matter. As for the provocation just now, he will settle with Ferrero slowly later.
Qin Fen nodded. “I’m back this time to invite Xue Tian and the others to leave the Sacred Martial Hall and go to Saturn with me. And obviously, meet the two masters first before that.”
“Saturn!? Divine beast!”
Ferrero jumped up from the sofa in excitement. He was in a state of extreme excitement when he asked, “You want to go to Saturn to compete for the title of the divine beast?”
“Yes!”
Smack! Sakra didn’t say anything but he patted his big hand heavily on Qin Fen’s shoulder. The loud and crisp sound reminded Qin Fen of the moment he first met Sakra, who at that time wanted to take Qin Fen as his apprentice. He had made a similar move at that time too.
Just a pat on the shoulder but Qin Fen could feel Sakra’s concern, praise, and encouragement all gathered in that pat.
Facing his master, Qin Fen didn’t circulate his true energy to resist it. The corner of his lips twitched quietly. Master never controls his strength when he is excited. The thunder energy in that palm was very strong. If not for the true aura infused in my body defending it, I might have fainted from the pain.
The only thing that made Qin Fen happy this time was that the sofa under him only creaked and didn’t collapse like last time.
“Very good!”
Ferrero’s roar shook the entire building. The martial artists downstairs looked at the building, confused, wondering what happened to Mr. Ferrero, who came to disturb Mr. Sakra every day, today.
“However…” Ferrero looked at Qin Fen. “It would be better if you went by yourself, you don’t have to drag your friends, right? You wouldn’t be afraid, would you?”
Qin Fen shook his head. “There are two reasons. First, I believe that if they knew that I went to Saturn, they would want to go together with me. As a friend, I have to inform them. Second, the test given by the army needs me to find ten people as my companions. And because the points will differ according to the difference in strength. If my points aren’t enough, I might be eliminated…”
“Fuck the military!” Ferrero waved his hand, again and again. “Kid, just leave the military, it would be a lot better. You are a peak sixteen-star martial dao master of the Main-Star level. Your strength and fame have surpassed your rookie days already. There is no need to bear the grievances of those old stooges.”
Qin Fen smiled. “General Zhao and Snake King have taken good care of me. They had defended me in many of my affairs.”
“Oh…” Ferrero nodded, the anger on his face reduced a bit. “Since there is graciousness, you can’t just walk away. You’re right about this.”
“Haha!” Ferrero’s expression changed suddenly as his eyes were all smiles. “I’m very happy that you came looking for your friends to go with you first.”
“Happy!?”
Qin Fen saw Sakra, who would never agree with Ferrero, also nod slowly with deep approval on his face.
“Your friends aren’t living in Building One twenty-two of the residential area anymore.”
Qin Fen was stunned again. Once the Sacred Martial Hall had allocated the rooms, it would never change, ever. Did Solomon and the others leave the Sacred Martial Hall? But if they’ve already left, why didn’t they contact me?
“It’s all your fault!” Ferrero’s face carried a bit of false anger. “Because you were in the limelight, even your friends were targeted. Once you left the Sacred Martial Hall, they were divided by the other heads at the fastest speed! It caused me and Sakra to spend our everyday life in boredom.”
Sakra nodded again, expressing his approval.
That’s how people were. They were used to being bored and didn’t feel bored. But if something not-boring happened one day which made them happy for a while, they would feel extremely bored once this thing disappeared again.
Sakra, who never took the boredom seriously, had to admit that he had begun to hate the feeling of being bored because of the appearance and disappearance of Qin Fen.
“They…”
“Ever since you left, they had been fooled into a secluded training by various heads.” Ferrero heaved a sigh. “The only time they were let out was during your battle at Hallasan. Now, these guys are the favorites of those heads. Later, they will be as bored as me! Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go! I will take you!”
Shengjing’s Army Headquarters.
“Qin Fen should have arrived at the Sacred Martial Hall by now, right?” Zhao Huzi looked at the dark sky outside the window. “Encountering a betrayal is also a part of growth. I hope you won’t be hurt too deeply by this kind of growth.”
