Lord of the World - C99
Leng Jun was a little regretful in his heart. He regretted not being able to be more ruthless, why had he followed Zhu Qingyun into this house that was so deep in the compound.
Leng Jun lamented in his heart, “If it weren’t for her, how could I have come to this place, and why am I in such a dilemma?”
Leng Jun sighed in his heart, but who could he blame? Of course it was impossible, he wouldn’t blame Zhu Qingyun for that no matter what. Was he supposed to blame his status as a noble of Zhu Qingyun, or was he supposed to blame himself for not being born in a clan with God Clan? This was too much of a drag. The only thing he could blame was probably fate playing tricks on him.
Finally, a middle-aged man stepped into the great hall, stopping Leng Jun from thinking any further.
Leng Jun immediately stood up, greeting the middle aged man while secretly sizing up the person in front of him. This person’s clothes were gorgeous and his bearing was extraordinary. Compared to his family master, it was without a doubt. However, he still had a kind face and did not have the usual haughty attitude of a noble.
The middle-aged man cupped his fists in return to Leng Jun, and then extended his hands to give way to his seat, “Sir, please take a seat. This old man has not seen my little niece for a long time, I can’t help but forget myself and chat for a while. Therefore, I have neglected the Young Master, and hope that Young Master Wan Xiang does not take offense to it. ”
From the beginning, Leng Jun had some prejudices against the aristocrats, he thought that they were just people who stood at the top and had high standards. But he didn’t expect that a clan member of God Clan would actually be so courteous to him. Even when he was in the Divine Martial City, Divine Officer Andi still maintained his kind of top-down arrogance when he needed help.
Leng Jun did not understand the formalities of being a noble. Since the owner of the house in front of him had invited him to take a seat, he unceremoniously sat down.
The middle-aged man had also been observing Leng Jun the entire time. Although he appeared to be polite to Leng Jun, in reality, like the other nobles, he was still wary of the poor like Leng Jun. In the upbringing that one had obtained from God Clan since young, ordinary commoners were all lowly and greedy, always wanting to obtain benefits from the nobles. Although this idea changed slightly as he grew older, it was hard to get rid of such deep-rooted thoughts.
The middle-aged man sat down on the unknown seat and said, “I am Zhu Zi’s uncle. Young master must already know this. Ever since his niece had been kidnapped, his brother had been extremely anxious. He searched everywhere but found no news of her. This time, thanks to young master’s help, my niece escaped from the clutches of the thieves and returned without a hitch. I will personally escort my niece back to the Divine Martial City later so that they can reunite as soon as possible. This is all thanks to the Young Master. I will thank you first. ”
After hearing what Bamboo City had said, Leng Jun couldn’t help but feel a little lonely when he thought of how they were about to separate from each other.
Zhu Zi Cheng did not know what Leng Jun was thinking, but seeing that he did not say a word, he could only ask again: “I wonder what your name is, where your family is, and what your family does?”
Only then did Leng Jun come back to his senses, but when he heard Zhu Zi Cheng ask him about his identity, background and even more so ask him what his family did. He could not help but feel a little displeased as he thought to himself, ‘As expected of these people, the first thing they care about is the other party’s up.’
Although he was displeased in his heart, on the surface, Leng Jun did not reveal it. My father was originally just a normal person in the wilderness, but after the great change, all of his relatives have been killed by bandits, and now Leng Jun is not by himself. ”
Bamboo City let out an “Oh”, obviously Leng Jun’s answer wasn’t too surprising to him. Because before he came to the Main Hall, he had already asked Zhu Qingyun about Leng Jun’s situation in detail, and it was about the same as what Leng Jun said.
Bamboo City said: “According to Ying’er, Young Master has an extraordinary Martial Skill, have you ever thought of entering a sect? If young master is willing, I have some friendship with the Eastern Sword Sect Sect Master of Heavenly Sword City and can recommend you to them. For this old man to step in, I believe that there is no problem at all for Young Master to obtain the identity of a noble. ”
Leng Jun sneered in his heart, thinking that Zhu Qingyun’s uncle had indeed treated him as someone who coveted wealth and pursued fame and fortune. This kind of attitude, it was obvious that she wanted to use these things to send herself away. What kind of position could Bamboo City find for him, a member of the Eastern Sword Sect’s Combat Regiment? Or a small commander? She himself didn’t even put the position of Divine Martial City Protector Commander in her eyes, and she could even freely bestow the position of Leader of Nanqiao Sect upon others.
Leng Jun said coldly with an expressionless face: “There’s no need for you to worry. I don’t have the will to enter a sect.”
Leng Jun’s answer was outside of Bamboo City’s expectations. In terms of Heavenly God Continent, other than the thirty-six sects, the goal of every single one of them was to be associated with a sect. Even the Combat Regiment of the common people mostly had the goal of replacing the position of a sect.
The reason why so many people spent so much money to let their children study in the Swordsman was so that they could enter the sect through the Swordsman. The reason was so that they could get a chance to become an aristocrat.
But now, Leng Jun had rejected such a great opportunity in front of him. How could Zhu Zi Cheng not be curious?
Seeing that Leng Jun did not accept his recommendation, Zhu Zi Cheng raised his head and looked outside the hall. The servant who had been standing guard outside the door saw the sign from Bamboo City and immediately understood his intentions. He then walked in with a tray covered in red cloth.
The servant placed the tray on the table next to Leng Jun’s chair, then respectfully stood in a corner of the hall with his hands held low, waiting for the orders of Bamboo City.
Bamboo City pointed to the tray and said to Leng Jun: “Young Noble and little niece have suddenly come to visit and the family did not prepare any for them. Consider this small reward as a travel fee to gift it to Young Noble!”
Leng Jun did not even need to look to know that under the red cloth on the tray, there was probably a lot of money. Seeing this, Leng Jun felt even more humiliated. He forcefully endured the anger in his heart and said: “Master, please take these back. Although Leng Jun is not rich, he is not lacking in travel fees.”
Bamboo City smiled and said, “Young Master, don’t you want to take a look first?”
As Bamboo City spoke, they gave the servant another look. The servant knew what he meant and hurriedly opened the red packet on the tray.
As Leng Jun expected, the trays were filled with Deity Coin s. Leng Jun roughly calculated, it was at least a hundred thousand.
Leng Jun sneered, and said: “Master Zhu, you sure are generous!
