Chapter 1417: Chapter 146 Tenglong Shows His Might_3
Yue Ji looked at her elder brother, a thought struck her, and she immediately understood that Moon Scar felt Kino was not good enough for her. With a cold snort, she walked beside Kino and said, "Big brother, let me go, Kino can protect me, you can rest assured."
Moon Scar frowned and said, "Little sister, you can’t be too playful, you know? You are the deputy leader of the corps, how can you just set aside your responsibilities and leave carelessly?"
Kino lowered his head and murmured, "Yue Ji, then you better not go, I don’t want this matter to cause a dispute between you and your brother. I’ll go back by myself."
Yue Ji was startled and said, "What? You don’t want me to go with you anymore?"
Kino glanced at her, sighed softly, shook his head, but said no more.
Seeing Kino being so sensible, Moon Scar smiled and said, "Alright then. I’ll send twenty people to escort you to the Empire of Tian Jing, it’s always more dangerous for a magician to travel alone."
Kino shook his head and said, "No need, elder brother Moon Scar, I have the ability to protect myself. I won’t stay any longer, goodbye." With that, he turned and strode towards the exit.
Watching Kino leave the Conference Hall, Yue Ji anxiously said, "Big brother, what are you doing? Why not let me go with Kino? He is a good man."
Moon Scar said, "Little sister, what’s gotten into you? I’ve never seen you care so much about a man before! Could it be that you’ve really fallen for him?"
Yue Ji snorted and said, "So what if I fancy him? It’s my own business. Although you are my brother, you can’t control who I like."
Moon Scar, slightly angry, said, "Little sister, how can you speak to your brother like this? I am thinking of your well-being. I have only one sister like you. I must find a suitable husband for you. How can Kino’s appearance match you? Actually, the people from Overlord are quite good, don’t you like capable men? Even if you don’t like Overlord, Wan Li and Miao Fei have been pursuing you for so many years, they are definitely stronger than Kino."
"Enough," Yue Ji angrily said, "Big brother, I didn’t expect you to be such a petty person. What’s wrong with Kino? He’s just like Ah Dai, not particularly handsome, but both are people of good nature. Moreover, do you think he really has no capabilities? Let me tell you, he is not just an ordinary low-level mage, he is the president of the Mage Guild of the Empire of Tian Jing, the only direct disciple of the continent’s number one offensive Magus, Larthas, and has reached the Realm of Magus at just twenty-five. What makes you think he is not worthy of me? In terms of strength and status, it should be me who is not worthy of him." For some reason, hearing her brother belittle Kino triggered an outburst from Yue Ji.
Hearing Yue Ji’s words, Moon Scar was slightly stunned, frowned, and said, "Little sister, I want your happiness, I am not being petty. If you really like him, I won’t oppose it, but you’ve known each other for too short a time, and don’t understand each other well. I don’t want you to make a hasty decision. And, there’s no need to lie to me. Although I’m not well-versed in magic, I can tell that Kino is obviously dressed as a regular high-level magician. How could he possibly be a Magus? Do you understand what being a Magus means? That is a position only the elder mages of the Mage Guild hold. Kino is too young, it’s simply impossible." Just as he said this, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside, and Moon Scar, alarmed, said, "It seems something has happened outside, let’s go have a look."
Yue Ji snorted, "You’ll see what Kino’s magic is capable of when you get the chance."
Moon Scar and his sister left the Conference Hall, identifying the source of the commotion, which seemed to come from the Practice Arena. Yue Ji, eager to catch up with Kino, rushed to Moon Scar and said, "Big brother, you go on your own. I’m leaving, I’ll come back after a few days of fun." With that, she turned and ran towards the exit of the Mercenary Corps.
Moon Scar grabbed Yue Ji and said, "Little sister, what’s the hurry? Didn’t I say I wouldn’t stop you being with him? Don’t you think this noise might have something to do with Kino? The moment he left, it started to get chaotic outside, it’s too much of a coincidence. Anyway, since Kino is a magician he won’t get far. Let’s check out the Practice Arena first, if it really is something caused by Kino, it saves you from missing him. If it’s unrelated, you can still catch up with him later."
Yue Ji nodded, "Alright then." The siblings quickly made their way to the Practice Arena, familiar with the route.
The Practice Arena of the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps spans several thousand square meters. Usually, the members of the corps would be divided into several groups to continuously train here. Now, the mercenaries of the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps had formed a large circle around the arena, all looking towards the center. As the mercenaries saw Moon Scar and his sister arriving, they quickly cleared a path for them, and Yue Ji hurried inside. Indeed, as Moon Scar had said, the source of the disturbance was Kino. In the center of the Practice Arena stood three people: Kino, Miao Fei, and Wan Li.
It turned out that when Kino and Yue Ji arrived at the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps, Miao Fei and Wan Li had also received the news. They happily came to see Yue Ji; however, at the entrance of the Conference Hall, they overheard the conversation between Moon Scar and Kino, which greatly infuriated them. The two had been secretly in love with Yue Ji, who had never shown any inclination towards either of them, so they had been waiting for Yue Ji’s choice. Kino, this sudden rival in love, instantly united them in shared enmity, and they decided to teach Kino a lesson, hoping to extinguish his hopes for Yue Ji. Hence, no sooner had Kino stepped out, he was intercepted by the two, who directly dragged him to the Practice Arena.
