Chapter 1262: Chapter 114 Larthas’s Awakening
Xuan Yue said with a smile, "Having known you for so long, I only just found out your exact age. Turns out you’re also two years older than me! Then you’re older than Olivia too, so he should also call you ’big brother’ like me. From now on, let’s refer to each other as brothers. It’s much more intimate that way. Elder Feng Zhi, we’ll have to trouble you to get us something to eat; we haven’t eaten in days and there’s nothing left in our stomachs."
Elder Feng Zhi said with a smile, "That’s easy to handle, I’ll go right now. Vila, stay here and keep your two brothers company."
Olivia nodded, feeling somewhat awkward, and called out, "Ah Dai, b-brother, I will definitely follow you and learn well in the future."
Ah Dai laughed, "Since when did I become the big brother? Brother Vila, you don’t have to be so modest; your wind magic cultivation is also very profound. We should learn from each other. In fact, your magic level is indeed stronger than mine; I’m mainly better with martial arts. If you want to learn any magic techniques, you’ll have to find Brother Xuan Re."
Xuan Yue laughed, "Stop being so polite with each other. From now on, we’re companions in the same trade. Brother Vila, after we eat, we’re going to leave this place. Do you have anything you need to take with you? Go pack it up first. Don’t worry, we won’t leave you behind."
Olivia, with his thoughts seen through by Xuan Yue, blushed and hurriedly said, "Then, I’ll go first, I’ll be right back." After speaking, as if afraid that Ah Dai and Xuan Yue wouldn’t wait for him, he ran out quickly.
Watching Olivia’s retreating figure, Ah Dai muttered, "Brother, is it too dangerous to let him follow us? We still don’t know the exact situation in the Death Mountain Range!"
Xuan Yue smiled and said, "There won’t be any danger. His magic potential is very good. On the road, his level will definitely improve, and besides, we have you, a martial arts expert, to protect us. What’s there to fear?"
Suddenly, urgent footsteps sounded from outside, and Elder Feng Zhi entered with an anxious expression.
Xuan Yue asked, "Elder, what’s happened? What’s the matter?"
Elder Feng Zhi took a couple of breaths, and though his magic cultivation was not weak, his body was not in good shape. A few steps of running had already made it difficult for him, and he said gravely, "Larthas is here, along with Gorisong. They specifically asked to see Elder Ah Dai."
Hearing the name Gorisong, Ah Dai shuddered. Ah! How could he have forgotten him? He quickly said, "Elder, I’ll go with you."
Elder Feng Zhi nodded and warned, "Elder Ah Dai, it’s best not to confront Larthas inside the Guild. This is Yajin Tribe territory, not like the Bilu Canyon. We can’t disturb the Yajin officialdom."
Ah Dai replied, "Elder Feng Zhi, don’t worry, I won’t have a conflict with him."
Xuan Yue, knowing the relationship between Ah Dai and Gorisong, said, "Big brother, let’s go quickly. They probably don’t have any hostile intentions." Her mind was quick, and she thought to herself: Although Larthas is powerful, he wouldn’t rashly come here to trouble Ah Dai. His visit must be related to Ah Dai’s teacher. They followed Elder Feng Zhi quickly out of the room and through the corridors to the great hall of the continental Mage Guild.
Larthas and Gorisong stood proudly in the center of the hall, dressed exactly as they had been in Bilu Canyon. With their hands behind their backs, they waited quietly. Yu Yuan and Gu Tian led a group of mages, none of whom were weak in magic, standing by. Though they knew that Larthas wouldn’t dare to act recklessly here, he was after all a Magician, and the strength he had shown in Bilu Canyon was so formidable that they had to be cautious. Seeing Ah Dai and Xuan Yue come out, the mages breathed a sigh of relief. Their performance had already won over their hearts.
Larthas watched Ah Dai with a glint of red flashing in his eyes, but Ah Dai seemed not to notice, focusing all his attention on Gorisong. Gorisong’s eyes flashed with light, "Kid, you finally came out. I’ve come with State Preceptor Larthas to ask about my big brother. Let’s find a quieter place to talk."
Hearing Goris mentioned, Ah Dai’s heart ached and he nodded lightly, "Alright then."
Elder Feng Zhi became anxious and whispered, "Ah Dai, you can’t go with them."
Gorisong, with his keen ears, said disdainfully, "What? Afraid we’ll eat him?"
Ah Dai reassured Elder Feng Zhi, "Elder, don’t worry, I’ll be fine."
But how could Elder Feng Zhi feel at ease? Shaking his head, he insisted, "No, they have come here suddenly, who knows what their intentions are. We have a quiet place right here, let’s talk here."
Gorisong was about to explode, but Larthas stopped him and said indifferently, "Okay, we’ll talk here. Elder Feng Zhi, please find us a place."
Xuan Yue said, "No need to look, let’s use Ah Dai’s room." Saying this, she took Ah Dai by the sleeve and turned to walk back the way they came.
With many mages "escorting" them, Larthas and Gorisong followed Ah Dai and Xuan Yue to their room.
Ah Dai, not wanting others to know about Goris, addressed Elder Feng Zhi, "Elder, please wait outside."
Elder Feng Zhi nodded, looking at Larthas with full vigilance and advised, "Ah Dai, be careful with everything and don’t be deceived by his words."
