Chapter 255: Chapter 14: Beautiful Misunderstanding

"Lu, follow me." At that moment, Master Li’s voice sounded beside him.

Lu Hong dared not delay, quickly following Master Li’s steps and leaving the arena.

Walking on the bustling streets of Cangdu City, Master Li asked, "I suddenly called you out, you don’t mind, do you?"

"Being inside for too long was also suffocating. It’s nice to stroll out with Master Li," Lu Hong wanted to learn more about the prowess of Cang’s experts, but when compared, how could he dare to delay responding to Master Li’s call?

"You can rest assured, there’s not much excitement until the final round of selection." Master Li led Lu Hong, weaving through the streets and alleys as if searching for something, "This time I called you out because I wanted to help you take revenge."

"Yesterday, the security patrol found the hidden branch of the Disaster Church in the city. Last night, Left Envoy tried to kill you, didn’t he? Today I will help you settle him once and for all." Saying this, Master Li stopped in front of a luxurious mansion, glanced at the door lions made of pure gold, and sneered, "They are indeed dripping with wealth."

Lu Hong took half a step back; Master Li stamped his foot forcefully, and the entire mansion’s walls crumbled instantly, leaving the Disaster Church followers inside with baffled expressions. What happened? Why did the walls collapse?

The loud noise attracted the curiosity of Cangdu City’s residents, but before they could gather around to see, thousands of imperial guards swiftly emerged from all directions, isolating the area. It seemed the King of Cang was keen on eliminating these people, also giving Lu Hong a taste of favor.

"Li Kangna, do not push people too hard!" The Left Envoy who had assassinated Lu Hong outside the Imperial City flew into the air, his expression slightly panicked.

"Who allowed you to fly?" As soon as Master Li finished speaking, a faint blue halo appeared above Cangdu City. Left Envoy’s complexion drastically changed before he plummeted from the sky, "Does the King of Cang want to make a move against us?!"

Without the King’s permission, the grand formation of Cangdu would not be activated by anyone.

Although the seven kingdoms all detested the Disaster Church, in private, they dared not provoke them too severely. This foreign sect had been in Ambra for too long, long enough to have a solid foundation and numerous powerful members, and these people had a strong vengeful spirit. If you were too overt in your dealings with them, within just three days, they could turn a country upside down, denying it peace.

Therefore, the relationship between the seven kingdoms and the Disaster Church remained delicate, both sides adhering to a conventionally established relationship for hundreds of years.

This time, the King’s strangling of the Left Envoy hidden within the capital undoubtedly disrupted the balance, but the Left Envoy knew that once the King took action, he would show no mercy.

"Kill them!" With the command from the Left Envoy, more than five thousand followers inside the mansion, without any hesitation, launched a suicidal charge against the imperial guards. Each Disaster Church follower tightly clutched a black-purple talisman stone, detonating it close to the imperial guards, their colossal destructive force making it impossible for the guards to fully fend off, and any slight carelessness could lead to their demise.

Meanwhile, the Left Envoy tried to slip away amidst the chaos. Master Li stepped forward minutely, as if shrinking the ground beneath his feet, pulling the Left Envoy in front of Lu Hong.

"Remember, your death is because you provoked him," Master Li said, "You should not have tried to kill him."

"Him?" Left Envoy was somewhat surprised, "What is he?!"

"He is the lifesaver of our Cang nation." After speaking, Master Li no longer elaborated and suddenly grabbed towards the opponent’s crown.

"Black Crow Assault!" Naturally, the Left Envoy wasn’t just going to wait for death, the skill in his hand burst out instantly, countless black crows fiercely charged towards Lu Hong and Master Li.

"Can you resist me?" Master Li stood like a mountain, letting countless black crows swarm; they couldn’t get past his blockade. Lu Hong didn’t feel the pressure that the Third Transition Peak skill should have.

Master Li exerted a slight force, and the crows formed by magic power immediately dissipated. Seizing the moment, Left Envoy burst out with all his might, trying to flee towards the back.

"Piercing Cang Fist!" Master Li slightly pulled back his punch, then struck out.

Without any flashy effects, but the body of the Left Envoy emitted a bizarre twist. A black hole-like singularity appeared at his back, slowly tearing his flesh apart and sucking it in.

What kind of skill was this? Lu Hong was astonished in his heart; ever since entering Ambra, his areas of ignorance had been expanding.

Master Li seemed to have noticed the confusion in Lu Hong’s heart and explained, "This is a hereditary skill of our Cang nation, exclusive to the royal lineage for training and job transfer." He didn’t say much else, as it was a royal secret.

"This time, by striking against the branch of the Disaster Church, my Cang nation has completely broken off relations with them. You must contribute to the upcoming persecution," Master Li patted Lu Hong’s shoulder, "Let His Majesty see your capabilities. Only then can you be with the princess."

Lu Hong:,,,,,,

Okay, it seems Mr. Li took his forced kiss on Xixi as a sign of affection, and not only that, seems he’s even thinking about matchmaking them.

"That... uh..." Lu Hong said awkwardly, "Mr. Li, it seems you’ve misunderstood."

"Ha-ha, no worries, no worries," laughed Mr. Li. "Qing Xiao told me you’re a decent fellow, you bravely owned up to killing the city guard, and for that alone, I think highly of you. Cangdu needs men like you who dare take responsibility to assist the queen."

Before Lu Hong could speak, Mr. Li continued, "Qing Xiao said you’ve come to kill elves, rest assured, this matter will be discussed with other kings during the martial meeting, and I will bring the elf you wish to kill right in front of you for you to deal with as you please."

Never mind the rest, but what a cushy gig this is; full-service, all delivered on a silver platter.

"Only just...," Mr. Li changed his tone, "you must survive the martial meeting. This is also a test from Her Majesty."

Then I’d rather not participate in the martial meeting. Lu Hong had come to Ambra only for revenge; staying longer was out of the question, not to mention becoming a son-in-law.

"Mr. Li, I have a... wife. Kissing the princess was merely to cure her and meant nothing else; I trust you understand clearly," said Lu Hong. Best to clarify these things now; the longer it waited, the harder it got to explain.

Mr. Li was stunned. Princess Chen Xi’s curse had baffled millions of healers; for a mere Second Transition Early Stage young man like him to solve it – if he says it wasn’t for the princess, even dogs wouldn’t believe it! Receiving such an answer now was truly astonishing.

It took a while before Mr. Li snapped out of his silence. He waved his arm slightly, the Imperial soldiers who had finished killing the followers of the Disaster Church smartly withdrew, leaving behind no corpses or blood.

"Your answer really surprises me," Mr. Li said. "Should Her Majesty find out, do you know what will happen?"

"They can’t possibly kill me, right?" Lu Hong ventured.

Mr. Li gave him a look and asked, "What do you think?"

Damn, just over this, they want to kill someone? Lu Hong was speechless.

"Since you’ve forced a kiss on the princess, if you don’t marry into my Cang family, it would be a disgrace to the royal family. How could Her Majesty let you live?"

"I won’t tell anyone, who would know?" Lu Hong was still struggling.

"Does it matter? It only needs Her Majesty to know."

"Please, Mr. Li, save me!" If the old man before him harbored the same notions as the king, they wouldn’t be having this discussion at all.

Mr. Li took a deep breath. "Don’t mention that again. Just pretend you came to marry the princess. Once you fulfill your mission of killing the elf, I will arrange for your departure from Ambra. Remember, never come back."

With that, Mr. Li strode away.

As the old man slowly distanced himself, Lu Hong bowed respectfully. Knowing that Mr. Li, who was releasing him, would surely be punished by the king—although not death, his days wouldn’t be pleasant given what you know of the king’s character.

It saddened Lu Hong that Mr. Li, who had dedicated his life to Cangdu, might not meet a happy end.

Thus, Lu Hong silently vowed, once he returned, he must find someone to pressure the king to treat Mr. Li better.

When Lu Hong returned to the arena, the final battle had just ended, Leng Yue joyously plucked her opponent’s heart out and tucked it into her pouch.

Looking up at the central viewing stand, the King of Cangdu noticed Lu Hong’s gaze and turned with a corner of his lips curling into a smile. Meanwhile, Xixi slightly leaned back behind the king, avoiding eye contact, embodying a young girl harboring a crush.

Damn, caught up in more trouble!

Don’t they fear that beneath this mask lies a big, rough, bearded man?!
