Wu Youren was somewhat surprised by the appearance of Ranxue and Luo Xi.
However, after learning the identities of the people in the distance, he understood somewhat.
Ranxue asked him if he had killed a Great Knight. The boy was silent for a moment, then took out a scimitar, a small piece of the tip of which was broken off.
"I don't know if there are any Great Knight, but I did manage to get my hands on a weapon."
The disciplinary inspector took the scimitar, examined it several times, then looked at the other person with disbelief. "You're not injured?"
The boy smiled shyly, "I designed the mechanism myself, how could it hurt me?"
This is a classic case of misrepresentation.
Luo Xi took the scimitar from Ranxue, examined it, pointed to the nick at the tip, and exclaimed in surprise, "New cut?"
"I didn't do it," Wu Youren shrugged and answered frankly, "Maybe it was caused by an explosion."
"Explosion..." Luo Xi remained silent, his eyes filled with distrust. Are you kidding me?
"The blade is relatively brittle," Ranxue thought, though he didn't believe it either, but at least he could find a reason to reconcile with himself.
What he cared about were other things he heard the New Army say on the way, such as, "You even fought the Knight head-on?"
The two barbarian Knight Apprentice said that this man had killed two Knight, and the other four Knight were killed in face-to-face combat.
They even stubbornly believed that the murderer was the Great Knight!
This claim is utterly absurd, both for Instructor Red Pine and for the New Army. A sixteen-year-old Great Knight?
Luo Xi could even say with certainty: more than half a year ago, a boy at the Knight Apprentice level didn't even have a decent sword!
Wu Youren calmly replied, "The other side wasn't full, and the explosion also affected them. Um... I also added some poison."
Ranxue was speechless. Knight who hasn't eaten his fill is still Knight. You think you can take on four at once?
Luo Xi was even more skeptical. "Poisoning in the wilderness... what kind of poison?"
The boy looked at him calmly, without answering.
The two stared at each other for about ten seconds. Ranxue Xue sensed something was off and coughed lightly.
"That's enough. He's dealing with barbarians. Are you going to stand up for the barbarians?"
"I..." Luo Xi was also a little speechless, "What a fine line, is that not allowed?"
Ranxue glanced at him helplessly, "Do you know what the consequences will be if it's too heavy?"
As a martial artist, who doesn't have their own secrets? Would Little Wu possibly harm you? Since that's impossible, why ask so many questions?
However, Luo Xi still felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help but complain on the way back, "The little guy... he's got his wings now."
"I'm never riding in your car again," Ranxue said coldly. "Being with an idiot is too dangerous."
"Stop swearing!" Luo Xi was getting increasingly fed up. "Am I wrong? Look at his attitude!"
Ranxue snorted coldly, "If you could take on four Knight at once, I certainly wouldn't dare to curse you."
"I just want to ask, if you're still hoping to get some benefits from him, who the hell is the one who's not getting their attitude right?"
The disciplinary inspectors have handled quite a few cases, and heard about even more; they've really developed a kind of aversion to stupidity.
Luo Xi remained silent. For a warrior who could advance to the rank of Knight in his early twenties, admitting that he was inferior in skill was not easy.
"But he... Ranxue, he's from Jin!"
"If Jin that battle, we would all be Jin people now," the discipline inspector replied coldly.
"Don't think you can represent Liang. Are you worthy? That's a matter for important people to worry about."

"What you need to figure out is who you've messed with, who you can't afford to mess with, and who you can benefit from by following them. You and I are both nobody."
Luo Xi remained silent for a while before speaking, "He might be a threat to me?"
"Get your bearings straight before you speak," Ranxue said, not wanting to waste any more words on this idiot.
In fact, he had some suspicions that Namuzha's death, since Muzha was Hong Da's bodyguard!
However, he would never reveal this guess.
Although Little Wu is young, he's... such an easy person to get along with. If you're nice to him, he'll be nice to you too.
What kind of national sentiment is that? That's utter nonsense. Can it really be more important than tangible benefits?
When you are strong enough, the whole world will smile at you; if you are not strong enough, just endure it!
In fact, Wu Youren did feel a little displeased with Luo Xi: If you can't speak properly, you don't have to. Why ask such a pointless question?
Fortunately, he didn't have any expectations of the Liang. As long as things didn't go too far, he didn't plan to do anything outrageous.
The fact that neither of the two instructors had any other thoughts upon seeing the curved knife is enough to show that his test was successful again.
Isn't survival space something you build up little by little through hard work?
In the days that followed, the boy continued to refine the camp's layout while simultaneously cultivating his skills.
Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. The weather has been mostly sunny, but the temperature is too low and the snow is melting very slowly.
On this day, an SUV drove up, and four people got out, with Talis leading the way.
She was representing the Office of Protocol, and had come to learn about the battle between the hostage prince of Jin and the barbarians.
Wu Youren said that the battle was too intense at the time, and he couldn't remember much, but it was definitely the barbarians who wanted to take him away.
Compared to her predecessor, Talis was indeed more realistic; at least she arrived after fighting for more than ten days.
After learning the general situation, she said that the Barbarian Tribe were very angry about this, especially since you had also seized the Great Knight's weapon.
She advised the Jin hostage to avoid the barbarians as much as possible, Liang did not want any further conflict between the two states.
As she was leaving, she asked, "Your 17th Prince seems to be unwell. Aren't you going back to see him?"
"Many people have already gone back," Wu Youren replied calmly. "I have some experience killing ghosts, but I'm really no good at healing."
As the vehicle drove away, one of the Knight whispered, "He's lying through his teeth. He didn't have a mission; he just hid."
Talis ignored him and instead looked at another Knight Apprentice, "Did you sense the Blood Curse?"
"No," the man shook his head, his expression solemn. "We tried three methods. Could it be that the Great Knight... didn't have a seed?"
The Court of State Ceremonial knew little about the barbarian's Blood Curse seed; it was related to cultivation level, but not absolute.
Important figures in the tribe can be arranged, but the Great Knight realm isn't really a hard requirement.
The Blood Curse is a symbol, a symbol of revenge, a way to prevent others from bullying you.
If a tribe only has one or two Great Knight, and their strongest warrior is dead, knowing their enemies won't make much difference.
Some Great Knight themselves reject Blood Curse— "I'm already dead, what's the point of all this stuff!"
Talis calmly remarked, "The information indicates there are definitely seeds. After paying you a high salary for so long, you can't even find this?"
"Perhaps other forces are interfering," the Knight Apprentice said, his face pale. "For a national-level power, blocking a seed wouldn't be difficult."
The female Knight gave a cold laugh. "Could he possibly be? No wonder, it turns out someone might be trying to sabotage things."
Wu Youren really just wanted to develop quietly and silently.
However, there was no way to stop it; the results of this battle were simply too astonishing.
Although it was just a small skirmish, and very few people knew about it, anyone who had heard of it could not possibly ignore it!
Two days later, Liu Jingming sent a message, " Jin Garden asked where you are, what mission you accepted, and why you haven't returned yet?"
Wu Youren was really at a loss for words.
Several powerful departments in Liang have come to us, and Jin Garden, you're still acting so aloof, asking me when I'm going back?
He was certain that the head guard knew his current situation—he wouldn't say more, just keep pressing Liu Jingming for answers.
Hao Wei didn't respond. Instead, after such a long time, the Jin officials finally sent an inquiry, asking what exactly happened.
This reaction time is so slow... The Court of State Ceremonial is truly hilarious, befitting its status as a government institution!
Half a month has passed, Scops Owl has not returned.
Ten days later, when the surface of the snow on the ground had frozen solid and was almost walkable, the third snowfall arrived.
The snow fell intermittently for seven or eight days before the weather cleared up completely, and the total snowfall was similar to that of the second snowfall.
However, this snowfall has determined that this winter in Tianjing will be like this, with the snow not expected to melt until spring.
For Wu Youren, this was a good thing; with this snowfall, the barbarians would have almost no chance of causing trouble again.
In his heart, he was also secretly grateful to Commander Jeff.
Without the supplies delivered by that person, he would have had a hard time surviving the winter in the wilderness relying solely on his own reserves.
On the eighth day after the snow stopped, Little Ha finally climbed off his shoulder and fluttered around in the snow, seemingly trying to fly.
The recent snowfalls have awakened some of the genetic memories of the little snow harrier.
Otherwise, it might not remember that it has a pair of wings until some time later.
Early that morning, as it was flapping its wings, a black dot suddenly appeared in the sky.
The little creature was very alert. It grabbed the boy's trouser leg, flapped its wings, and slowly climbed onto his shoulder.
"An acquaintance... a familiar bird, right?" Wu Youren looked at the sky.
The Scops Owl circled and landed, glancing sideways at Little Ha. "Can you leave people now?"
"No," Wu Youren shook his head, "At least another month, and it will take at least two months to fly... You've lost weight?"
" The Scops Owl has lost weight!" Chen Quanxu corrected him earnestly. "It's the dead of winter, there's not much to eat. Has Little Ha finished its shipment?"
"No," the boy sighed, "It's really shameful that I had to squat in the wild for so long."
He paused, then couldn't help but ask, "How's the effect of the Flawless Crystal...?"
The Scops Owl remained silent for a long time before slowly nodding, "It worked, but... I didn't control it well!"
"As long as it's useful," Wu Youren completely ignored the "but," emphasizing the importance of focusing on the key points.
"This matter..." Scops Owl hesitated for a moment, then added, " The Blood Curse is also effective, but it seems to have been used too inappropriately."
"That's difficult," the boy nodded, not pressing for details, "To have figured out so many things in such a short time."
"That's certainly true," Chen Quanxu, getting quite excited as he spoke, showing considerable pride in his research abilities.
