"What a powerful aura!"
Qin Yu stared at Guan Yu in astonishment. Having navigated both military and political circles, his eye for people was exceptionally sharp. Guan Yu was certainly no ordinary man.
The domineering presence emanating from Guan Yu had only ever been seen by Qin Yu in one other person: Nan Meng, the Great General of the Nation!
And the oppressive feeling Guan Yu gave off was even stronger than Nan Meng's!
He was not the only one shocked. The arrogant Blood Saber King was utterly stunned upon seeing Guan Yu, while even the woman in green could not help frowning as she assessed him.
"What a mighty man!"
The innkeeper praised him, quickly ordering a waiter to help Guan Yu with his horse.
"Esteemed guest, would you like a room?" the innkeeper asked carefully. As a businessman, he understood who could be bullied and who should never be offended.
He had seen countless people, even Golden Core Realm experts, but he had never encountered someone with such a towering presence as Guan Yu.
Guan Yu stroked his beard and nodded. "That is correct."
As he spoke, his phoenix eyes swept across the room. Wherever his gaze passed, no one dared meet his eyes.
Even the woman in green, who had previously held Qin Yu in no regard, instinctively lowered her head, thinking in shock, What terrifying pressure. It is even more frightening than the elders of my Holy Sect!
I must win him over!
Qin Yu trembled with excitement. His greatest obstacle on the path to claiming the throne was Nan Meng. Although he had recruited many officials both within and outside the court, Gan Yue Kingdom's army was firmly under Nan Meng's control, leaving Qin Yu no chance to interfere.
Guan Yu had already been a fierce general before his death. After becoming a god, his cultivation had soared, and the aura of a mighty general was far beyond what mortals could compare to.
If he stood beside Nan Meng, even Nan Meng's presence would be diminished before his.
"Senior..."
Qin Yu clasped his hands and bowed. As the Fifth Prince, he was actually saluting someone, yet none of the guests found it surprising.
There was no other reason. This burly giant, who resembled an iron tower, was simply too powerful!
Just one glance at him made people feel he was invincible, let alone imagine fighting him.
Guan Yu had been incomparably proud in life, and even more so after becoming a god and residing in the Heavenly Court. The Guan Yu summoned by the system had only had his memories altered; his abilities and personality remained unchanged. Thus, he made no effort to restrain his aura.
At the Void Transformation Realm Ninth Layer, only one step away from the Earth Immortal Realm, even the aura he casually released shone as brilliantly as the blazing sun.
"Move aside. I have always hated people like you who use power to oppress others, even if you are a Prince."
Guan Yu waved him away. Qin Yu's face twitched, and his liver ached faintly.
Brother, who exactly is using power to oppress people?
Everyone in the inn was so oppressed by your aura that they barely dared breathe...
Qin Yu cursed inwardly, but he did not dare show it, afraid Guan Yu might crush his throat on the spot.
Guan Yu seemed to notice his displeasure and cast him a sidelong glance, frightening him into quickly backing away.
"I will not disturb your rest, Senior."
Qin Yu clasped his hands again before leaving with the Blood Saber King. The strange looks from the surrounding guests made him extremely embarrassed. He knew that after today, the entire city would be discussing this incident.
Though angry, he did not dare vent his rage on Guan Yu. Instead, he became even more eager to obtain him.
If he could subdue Guan Yu, this joke would become a glorious tale.
After leaving Luoya Inn, the Blood Saber King could not help sighing. "That man was incredibly strong. Just one look from him made me feel as though I were suffocating."
Qin Yu nodded. "If we can have him take part in the upcoming contest against Cang Lan Kingdom, we will definitely win!"
From the first moment he saw Guan Yu, Qin Yu had felt that Guan Yu was stronger than Nan Meng. This inexplicable feeling made him even more curious about Guan Yu.
He had originally come today to deal with Yan Mo Bei, but because of Guan Yu, his attention shifted at once, and he completely cast Yan Mo Bei from his mind.
Inside Luoya Inn, Guan Yu found an empty table and sat down. The other guests all focused their attention on him. No one dared speak loudly, only whispering among themselves. Guan Yu was accustomed to such treatment and did not get angry.
He had been a martial man from the start. Once his martial skills reached great mastery, he had drawn attention wherever he went. Later, after learning the methods of cultivation, his aura became even more fierce.
"Miss, that man does not restrain his aura at all. He truly has no regard for anyone else."
The maid whispered to the woman in green. The woman merely shook her head with a smile. "If he released all of his aura, Luoya Inn would be reduced to rubble in an instant."
"He is that powerful..." The maid's little mouth fell open in shock.
At that moment, the sounds of children playing came from the third floor. Qin Jun came downstairs with Yan San and ten other children.
Daji, the Howling Celestial Dog, Yan Mo Bei, and his three servants followed closely behind.
"Now, Guan Yu had barely finished the wine Cao Cao bestowed upon him before carrying Hua Xiong's head back. The sight made the lords of every faction turn pale..."
Qin Jun was telling the children the story of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Because he had unexpectedly summoned Guan Yu, he had suddenly felt like telling the others Guan Yu's tale. To his surprise, they became interested and insisted on hearing more.
Guan Yu's expression changed. He abruptly rose to his feet, startling everyone else into instinctively standing as well. The atmosphere grew tense enough that no one dared breathe too loudly.
Everyone was bewildered. What was wrong with this man now?
When Qin Jun reached the first floor, he also noticed that something was amiss. His gaze naturally landed on Guan Yu, and delight immediately appeared on his face.
Guan Yu's image was deeply ingrained in people's hearts. Any person from China could guess his identity at first glance: dressed in green, tall and imposing, with a face as red as a date, along with that magnificent beard. The title Handsome Bearded Lord was no empty reputation.
The guests also recognized Qin Jun. The incident where he had slapped a high-level Qi Refining Realm cultivator flying had long remained a popular topic at Luoya Inn.
Now that they saw Qin Jun and Guan Yu staring at one another, they could not help sighing. This young master was in for trouble!
"Your Highness, your subordinate arrived late. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"
Guan Yu strode quickly to Qin Jun, dropped to one knee, and clasped his hands. The sight made everyone's expressions change dramatically.
Hiss—
This terrifying giant was actually this young master's subordinate?
The woman in green widened her beautiful eyes as well, carefully examining Qin Jun. Turbulent waves rose in her heart. With one glance, she saw that Qin Jun possessed cultivation at the sixth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He looked about the same age as the Fifth Prince from before, yet he had achieved such cultivation.
A genius!
A true genius!
"Second Master Guan, you have finally come!" Qin Jun cried excitedly. His form of address made Yan San and the other children look at Guan Yu in surprise.
Daji and the Howling Celestial Dog, however, stared at Guan Yu with guarded expressions. They sensed a trace of danger from him.
This burly man was also a Void Transformation Realm expert!
"When this subordinate practiced martial arts, I received aid from Consort Xu's ancestors and promised that, after attaining great cultivation, I would assist her descendants. This subordinate learned that Your Highness was currently in danger and came specifically to offer aid. After investigating along the way, I discovered that Your Highness had actually returned to the royal capital."
Guan Yu sighed with emotion. Consort Xu was Qin Jun's nominal mother, and she had already died of illness three years ago.
It had to be said that the identity the system arranged for Guan Yu was truly flawless. Outsiders could not investigate such an explanation even if they wanted to, since it involved the ancestors of the Xu family. The vast Xu family had already perished, leaving only Qin Jun.
