Chapter 134: Chapter 107: Take My Punch
Just like in future generations, when a free-spirited individual suddenly gets an official position, they would be overjoyed and moved to tears.
As for whether there was any implicit suggestion to recognize one’s status, Chen Ping couldn’t quite ascertain.
He put down the teacup and shook his head.
"I appreciate the good intentions, but a person like Tian is used to a carefree life, and I’m no longer accustomed to the restrictions of a military camp.
Whether it’s as a Captain or a Personal Guard, let’s forget it. I’ve had the tea, and the people have been sent here. I don’t want to delay you two Generals from your duties, so I better take my leave."
The faces of several people changed.
Steward Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly and then restored them to normal.
General Feng Jiu’s smile widened, but there was a subtle hint of pity in his gaze towards Chen Ping.
Whereas Luo Yuanhua was so embarrassed that his face turned red.
"I guess Brother Tian is proud and thinks that the position of a Personal Guard belittles your martial arts, right?
You should know that in my White Robe Army, even those serving as Personal Guards are considered masters in the Jianghu, not necessarily inferior to you. Combat in the army is not the same as wild duels in the Jianghu, there’s a lot to learn."
"Oh, so it turns out the Personal Guards in the White Robe Army are much stronger than General Luo... This army is truly full of hidden talents, something I didn’t expect."
Chen Ping said in surprise.
"Pfft..."
Feng Jiu spat out his tea.
The greenish water droplets splashed onto the table, and onto Luo Yuanhua’s face, drenching him.
"I’m sorry, I just thought of something funny for a moment and couldn’t help but laugh."
Feng Jiu quickly apologized.
And took out a handkerchief, wanting to wipe Luo Yuanhua’s face.
Embarrassing this White Robe General to the point his face turned red, he quickly stepped aside...
After Luo Yuanhua stepped aside, he hastily wiped away the water droplets on his face and then lifted his head, with a slight coldness in his eyes: "I heard that since Young Hero Tian made it to the Hidden Dragon List, he has fought bloodily to protect the Princess from harm. For that, I am especially grateful..."
"No need, Xiaoyue will thank me herself."
Chen Ping was starting to get a little tired.
This person wants to get angry, yet pretends to be magnanimous, always trying to suppress him... Just like Hua Lian’er said, really a bit annoying.
But he came here just as a friend, to see her off.
It’s not to endure bad treatment.
Nor is it to join the army.
Now that the Primordial Technique Iron Body Realm has reached Perfection, there’s no follow-up Cultivation Technique in sight...
Regarding Qi Blood Body Refining, he still needs to take a master to decide how to proceed.
Gathering cultivation techniques and deducing them on his own is too slow, and he doesn’t know if it can be done or how long it will take.
There’s a handy Primordial Golden Body Technique directly pointing to the Innate stage; if he doesn’t learn it, he’s an idiot, right?
Moreover, on the first night in Youx Mountain, besides the Sword Elder chasing him, there was another formidable expert, the Jade Spirit Snake Princess from the Celestial Witchcraft Sect chased him down.
She was intercepted, and both sides were injured severely.
If he hadn’t known about this event, it wouldn’t matter.
He could have let it go with a clear conscience.
But since he knows, he can’t remain indifferent.
Han Xiaoru got her mother to take action, undoubtedly offending the Beizhou military, and in the end, it can’t be hidden.
He also couldn’t just watch someone take the blame for him and face the enemy alone.
If anything happens to the Han Family Martial Hall, how could he feel at ease in his heart?
Besides these two points, there’s another: he had once promised Zuo Duanshou to find the mastermind behind the scenes to get revenge.
Therefore, it’s absolutely impossible to stay in Ling Mountain Prefecture and nest within the Jinghai Guard camp under King Jinghai.
Don’t even talk about the laughable position of Personal Guard, even as a Captain, he wouldn’t accept it.
It’s not that he looks down on the position, but it doesn’t align with his goals.
Thinking about this, Chen Ping felt the urge to leave and didn’t want to wait for Hua Lian’er to come out and say goodbye.
Three cups of tea’s time have passed; the little girl is surely held up by something.
There are plenty of reasons to stall Hua Lian’er.
No need to ask for details.
"Wait, Young Hero Tian, with such skills, not seeing it once is a lifetime regret.
I wonder if you can show me a thing or two? Let’s see what kind of stunning swordsmanship can defeat Hero Yuanxi."
Luo Yuanhua wasn’t stupid. Seeing Chen Ping’s intention to leave at this moment,
while feeling relieved, he was also a bit unhappy.
After all, he was underestimated.
Moreover, what irritated him the most was that in Princess Mingyue’s eyes, this "Seventh Brother" seemed much stronger than himself.
Why is that?
Fine then, let the Princess, let everyone see...
A person should not only be judged by appearance but also by abilities.
"No need for advice; General Luo, with your status as a General Ma, might not be familiar with the small Jianghu maneuvers, there’s no comparison. Winning or losing wouldn’t look good."
No matter how the opponent’s attitude was, being a visitor himself, getting into a fight would be impolite.
"Do you think you can win? Haha, Brother Tian, you really know how to joke. Don’t be so smug. This world is not as small as the well; there’s nothing wrong with being a Personal Guard?"
Luo Yuanhua weighed the fine steel long spear in hand, as thick as an egg, subtle enough to bend in his single-handed shake, making a deep resonant sound that shocked the hearts....
Its sharp Qi Mechanism had already locked on Chen Ping, forcing him to agree to the challenge.
The intention was obvious: to give a good lesson, to make the opponent recognize reality, and to undermine his will.
Chen Ping watched Luo Yuanhua for a while.
Seeing his firm determination to battle, he finally shook his head and sighed: "Very well, if you can take one punch from me without defeat, I’ll stay with the Jinghai Guard, and what’s wrong with becoming your Personal Guard?"
As his words fell.
His Blood Qi rose like a flame, surging straight up, shaking the entire side hall slightly.
Being your Personal Guard, could you even say that?
Look at how big your face is...
