A Mere Wolf Demon God? It Dared Attack Even My Son?

The moment those words were spoken, Ye Hua was dumbfounded.

Everyone else present was dumbfounded as well.

They looked toward Long Xingyu in slight confusion.

No, what was this Divine Seal Knight planning to do?

He was poaching talent from the Haoyue Branch Hall—even poaching Zombie Face Ye Hua.

Even with Ye Hua's usual zombie-like expression, he could not maintain it now. He stared at Long Xingyu in astonishment.

Wasn't this a little too direct?

He was going straight from being an instructor at a branch hall in a second-tier city to someone at Dragon Control Pass, the Knight Temple's main headquarters?

Had this stroke of luck come too suddenly?

"X-Xingyu Temple Master." Ye Hua's voice trembled slightly. "What do you mean by this? I don't quite understand."

"I've already stated the reason. I don't intend to repeat myself."

"Spend the next few days getting your affairs in order. When I leave Haoyue City, you will accompany me."

Long Xingyu offered no explanation and made no further arrangements. He simply returned to his seat and sat down.

As the Temple Master of the Knight Temple, he had the authority to directly transfer anyone to the Knight Temple's main headquarters. This was something the people of these branch halls dreamed of.

If it had been someone else whose circumstances he did not understand, Long Xingyu might have asked for their opinion. But he knew exactly what Ye Hua's situation was at the Haoyue Branch Hall, so he could not be bothered to ask.

Seeing Ye Hua's blank expression, the other higher-ups of the Haoyue Branch Hall looked at him with envy and jealousy, wishing that opportunity had been theirs.

Naturally, none of them dared step forward. At the heart of it, their relationship with Ye Hua was not particularly good.

But Nalan Shu had a close relationship with Ye Hua. He walked straight over and asked, "Zombie Face, what did you do?"

"For Xingyu Temple Master to personally take you to Dragon Control Pass?"

Ye Hua said blankly, "You're asking me? How would I know? If I knew why, I would've gone to Dragon Control Pass myself long ago."

But as soon as he said that, he recalled what Long Xingyu had just told him.

Suddenly, realization dawned on him. "Wait, it seems to be because my Innate Inner Spiritual Power was only ten, yet I still managed to become an Earth Knight!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Hua seemed to understand something.

Nalan Shu understood as well.

A wild look of joy appeared on his face.

He laughed. "Zombie Face, I told you before that you could report this matter directly to the Alliance."

"Among humans, those with Innate Inner Spiritual Power of no more than ten make up the majority. If you can reach this level, why can't others? Once your cultivation method is reported, the situation will be vastly different!"

"It's just that your thoughts were too gloomy. You believed others would mock you over it, so you never reported it. Thankfully, Xingyu Temple Master recognized your worth. Otherwise, you would have remained like this forever!"

Nalan Shu laughed.

Though the two of them bickered constantly in ordinary times, they were brothers who had risked their lives together on the battlefield.

And since Nalan Shu was not a cold-hearted man, how could he possibly be jealous over his good brother's promotion?

He was genuinely happy for him.

At that moment, Ye Hua stood rooted to the spot. It seemed that, because of a single decision from Long Xingyu, his fate was about to take off!

And Nalan Shu was sincerely happy for him.

Then, as though recalling something, he discussed it with Ye Hua. After hearing him out, Ye Hua did not get angry and merely nodded.

Nalan Shu then walked toward Long Xingyu, gave a knight's salute, and said, "Lord Xingyu, when Ye Hua accompanies you to Dragon Control Pass this time, could he bring one additional person?"

"You?" Long Xingyu asked.

"Of course not this subordinate. It is the greatest genius of our Haoyue Branch Hall. Her talent is decent, and like you, she is a Punishment Knight. Though she may not stand out too much at Dragon Control Pass, if she remains in Haoyue City, her talent will only be buried!" Nalan Shu said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Long Xingyu naturally knew who he meant.

He was referring to Li Xin, his son's sworn sister in the original timeline—the Haoyue Branch Hall's number one genius, Hell Rose.

If it had been Nalan Shu, Long Xingyu would have refused immediately. But if it was Li Xin, that was possible. In any case, he had already planned to take Li Xin away to serve as Long Haochen's sparring partner.

"I will give her an opportunity. Whether she can seize it will depend on herself," Long Xingyu said calmly.

"Then thank you, Xingyu Temple Master!" Nalan Shu gave another knight's salute.

He had secured the opportunity, so everything else was easy to discuss!

As for whether Li Xin could successfully go to Dragon Control Pass, that would depend on her own fortune. Nalan Shu could not help with that, since he truly did not dare say any more to Long Xingyu.

What he had just done was already the limit.

Soon after, the guard knights outside silently opened the doors.

Everyone was startled, wanting to know who would dare enter directly while a Divine Seal Knight was present.

What shocked them most was that it was a child who looked no older than ten, with a faint scar on his face and slightly worn clothing.

At first, they thought some knight attendant had gotten too full of himself and barged in directly?

When they heard that he was Divine Seal Knight Long Xingyu's son, they grew tense as well.

Because behind Long Haochen stood a tall female knight with long pink hair!

She was the number one genius of their Haoyue Branch Hall, Hell Rose Li Xin!

Now that Long Haochen was injured and Li Xin was following behind him, it was hard not to let their imaginations run wild. If Li Xin had injured the Divine Seal Knight's son, that would be troublesome indeed!

However, Long Xingyu paid no attention to their emotions.

Instead, he looked at Long Haochen.

"Haochen, how did you get those injuries?"

He was not overly worried, because he had left a strand of Slaughter Sword Intent within Long Haochen. If anyone meant him harm, it would naturally strike at once and protect Long Haochen. Nothing below the seventh rank could break through it.

And he himself would immediately know.

Since the sword intent on Long Haochen's body had not been triggered just now, it meant that he had not encountered any mortal danger.

"After testing my Outer Spiritual Power, I accepted a knight attendant mission corresponding to fifty points of Outer Spiritual Power. I was about to complete it, but a second-rank wolf demon suddenly attacked me."

As Long Haochen spoke, he turned to Li Xin and said, "Luckily, Sister Li Xin was nearby at the time, so she saved me."

Hearing this, although Li Xin was somewhat confused as to why all these elders were trembling here, she immediately looked at Long Xingyu and nodded seriously. "Yes, Uncle. Little Brother Haochen really was attacked just now. I happened to be nearby, so I stepped in right away."

At those words, the first ones to react were not Long Xingyu, but the higher-ups of the Haoyue Branch Hall.

Damn it, Li Xin, can't you read the situation?

This was a Divine Seal Knight! You just called him Uncle—wouldn't he...

However, Long Xingyu did not care about that.

Instead, a dangerous aura emerged from his body.

"A second-rank wolf demon?"

"That's right. Wolf demons have indeed been running rampant around Haoyue City."

Long Xingyu remembered.

At present, there were still two years before the Wolf Demon God's hunt.

But that did not mean the Wolf Demon God was not here during those two years. They had been preparing for the coming hunt all along, merely scouting the situation and looking for opportunities.

Previously, Long Xingyu had been occupied with other matters and had not paid much attention to this.

But now...

These wolf demons actually dared to attack his son?

That was quite the reminder for Long Xingyu!

The Wolf Demon God's hunt?

Then from now on, I'll be the one hunting them!
