Li Xin

The air seemed too afraid to even stir.

She paused slightly for a few seconds.

"My turn to wash up after you're done!" Yang Tian looked at the other person, then said flatly.

Dressing as a man was not something that happened in reality, yet in martial arts worlds and fantasy worlds, it was quite common and not strange at all.

Naturally, Yang Tian also suppressed the curiosity bubbling in his heart.

"When did you wake up!"

The handsome youth asked a single sentence, clearly caring a great deal about this matter.

Because he did not know whether Yang Tian had already found out.

"Just woke up not long ago. Why did you wash yourself to smell so fragrant, you're not a girl!"

Yang Tian then feigned calmness and replied.

The youth was just about to speak, only to be left with nothing to say once again by Yang Tian's words.

Right, how could this blockhead know about that kind of thing!

In the end, after the youth comforted himself with that thought, he didn't take it to heart; even if the other person had discovered it, it was no big deal anyway.

Besides, he was now a member of the Haoyue Branch Hall too.

Finally, he went back to his bed on his own.

Only, the recent event still lingered long in his mind.

Soon, night fell!

Yang Tian finished washing up and went to sleep properly; after all, having been out for a whole day, his entire body felt uncomfortable if he went a single day without training.

"Hey, my name is Li Xin, what's your name?"

Then, the soft and tender voice of that handsome youth traveled to Yang Tian's ears.

"Li Xin?"

"You really are Li Xin?"

Listening to that name, Yang Tian was also slightly stirred.

Li Xin, she was a female!

"Uh, do we know each other?"

Yang Tian's sudden excitement startled the other person, making it seem as though Yang Tian already knew him.

"We don't!"

Afterward, Yang Tian maintained his composure.

Since he had already taken Ye Hua as his master, it wasn't strange for Li Xin to show up here.

The future Hell Rose.

"If we don't know each other, why are you making such a big expression, blockhead!" Li Xin muttered.

Then, Yang Tian's voice came over.

"My name is Yang Tian, nice to meet you. However, we'll probably part ways soon, probably in half a year at most!"

Yang Tian then said indifferently, much like stating a fact.

"Why?" Li Xin asked.

Only, he did not know that his alias had already been seen through by Yang Tian.

Li Xin and Li Xin-the characters for his fake name and real name sounded identical.

"In a couple of days, when I awaken my Internal Spiritual Power, I'll be able to charge toward becoming a Knight. By then, Knights have separate dormitories to live in, and your bath fragrance is simply too strong!"

Yang Tian looked up at the ceiling and calmly began conversing without any hindrance.

Yet these words struck the person opposite him once more.

"You can leave if you want to leave, what on earth does it have to do with me washing up to be too fragrant!"

"Blockhead, I've noticed that your mind only has a single string attached!"

Li Xin was also frustrated, and promptly blurted out that nickname for Yang Tian.

Still, that directness of Yang Tian's fit that title quite well.

"I have rhinitis!" Yang Tian replied flatly.

Li Xin: What is rhinitis...

Would a Knight even have something like that? An inflamed nose?

Following that, a generation gap arose in the two people's conversation.

In the end, silence fell!

Li Xin fell asleep in frustration!

Yang Tian fell asleep calmly.

I've already arrived at the Haoyue Branch Hall, and I'll be able to awaken my Internal Spiritual Power very soon. I wonder what my innate internal spiritual power level will be?

Still, everything is heading in a good direction. Becoming a Knight is only a matter of time.

There's also my mount, the Knight Sacred Mountain...

Before falling asleep, Yang Tian muttered these thoughts, and finally drifted off to sleep.

The alternation of day and night happened in just a single instant.

The next day, that warm sun spilled over Haoyue City, and also shone onto the Knight Plaza of the Knight Haoyue Branch Hall.

Early in the morning, Yang Tian got up!

His washing motions were very light!

Although he had confirmed that this Li Xin was indeed that Li Xin, Yang Tian paid it no mind.

What kind of attire people liked to wear was their own business.

Finally, he strapped on his dual swords!

Regarding the branch paths of Knights-Retribution Knights and Guardian Knights-Yang Tian had already made his choice.

"Guardian!"

This was Yang Tian's choice. Compared to blindly pursuing combat power, Yang Tian preferred being able to protect the people he cared about.

For instance, the grandmother who relied on him for mutual company, the cute Yaya, that friendly neighbor...

He carried two swords, but the other blade was merely a spare.

Preparing to head out, Yang Tian glanced at Li Xin, who was sleeping in a sloppy posture.

Suddenly, a flash of white, slender legs exposed to the air made his face instantly turn red, his heartbeat also speeding up.

"Ahem, ahem!" He gave a dry cough, then headed out the door.

After stepping outside, he took a breath of fresh air and felt a wave of refreshing ease.

Accustomed to sleeping early and waking up early, perhaps this was simply a good habit.

All around, it was still quiet.

Those squires hadn't gotten up to train yet, and bursts of snoring could still be heard.

Looking at the empty plaza!

Then, Yang Tian began to run!

Fast, faster, even faster!!

Without heavy objects weighting him down, Yang Tian quickly ran dozens of laps around the massive plaza.

A trace of sweat appeared, and only then did Yang Tian feel comfortable.

After his morning run, those people still hadn't gotten up.

Sitting off to the side, Yang Tian felt somewhat unaccustomed to it, perhaps due to having arrived in a new environment.

He dazed out for a little while.

"Yang Tian, you woke up so early?"

Then, a familiar voice came over.

Yang Tian looked over, and swiftly stood up to bow respectfully.

"Teacher!" He called out respectfully, then answered, "I'm used to it!"

"I feel like I have nothing to do all day!"

At the end, Yang Tian said sincerely.

Ye Hua nodded, showing his approval. Some people lacked talent, yet still didn't know the principle of a clumsy bird flying first.

"You'll have plenty to do from now on. You'll find out once you fail to complete my assigned workload!"

"Alright, come with me to have breakfast. You are right at the age when you need to grow your body!"

Ye Hua said sternly, and finally added with a hint of care.

Yang Tian's outward appearance possessed too much of a deceptive quality.

Without asking, one would never know that this child, whose muscle lines were pulled taut to the limit, was only seven years old.

Yang Tian nodded, then followed behind Ye Hua's footsteps.

If this sentence were seen by those Knights who were trained to the point of utter misery by the Night Asura, they would definitely drop their jaws in shock.

Yet who could tell that there was a kind of person whose mouth was sharp but whose heart was soft-seemingly strict, but actually responsible for others.

It was more of a sense of responsibility.

Yang Tian's pure innocence directly perceived that portion of love coming from his teacher.

Yet in his future training, his teacher would love him to death!

The cafeteria was also divided into grades, having a squire cafeteria and a Knight cafeteria; the food between the two types of cafeterias also had a massive difference.

Looking at those tempting meat dishes, Yang Tian felt somewhat unaccustomed to them.

In the end, he gnawed on a steamed bun, mixed in some pickled vegetables, and drank a cup of milk!

"Eat a beast egg. Being a picky eater is no good."

Seeing Yang Tian like this, Ye Hua then peeled a beast egg that was as white and tender as jade.

This kind of ingredient possessed high-quality protein and could supplement nutrition very well.

"Mm, okay!"

"Just this once. However, for those demon beasts that harm people, I won't show any mercy!"

Yang Tian spoke inexplicably, taking the egg from his teacher's hands, then looking completely earnest.

That was... an unformed life!

He didn't even know if it was the egg of a carnivorous demon beast!

Ye Hua was also startled, yet seemed to have thought of something.

A Knight's honesty, persistence, compassion, humility, and benevolence!

This child understood and grasped these things much more thoroughly than some adults already had.

Ye Hua didn't press the matter further, and subsequently said: "Tell me about your previous training. You need to make a lot of preparations before your awakening, such as..."

I'm updating even while staying up late for everyone. Thank you for all your recommendation votes. I read them every day. There are many, keep going, don't stop...
