Chapter 203 - 152 Vague Words_3

The old servant Gav listed the tasks around Long Yi one by one.

"Elves... When I first became Emperor, I was full of ambition, but they didn’t give me any face, they just blasted me out." The Emperor recalls the elves, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

"But even so, is Long Yi worthy of Your Majesty’s favor?" Old servant Gav looked at the blood-stained handkerchief in the Emperor’s hand, somewhat puzzled.

"You noticed my favor too? I thought I was quite subtle." The Emperor laughed.

"It’s so obvious! Among all the empires on the continent, which bastard can survive after hitting the emperor?" Gav raged.

"Well, isn’t there one?" The Emperor flicked his hand, and the handkerchief in his hand instantly burned to ash.

"Your Majesty, are you hiding something from me?" Gav suddenly asked.

"How could that be, Master Gav?" The Emperor shook his head with a smile.

"Your Majesty, although this old man has not yet heard the call of the Dragon Tomb, counting you, I have followed three fairly wise emperors. Are you insulting my brain with this statement?"

Gav said.

"No, Master Gav, I didn’t intend to do that. But from what I can see now, I really have nothing to hide." The Emperor looked into Gav’s eyes, his heart clear.

Some light appeared in Gav’s old and dimmed eyes, then they clouded over again. Then, he sighed. He shook his head, saying, "Your Majesty, I have been serving the royal family for over three hundred years according to my previous promise, and this old man should be able to live for another three hundred years. You should know, as long as I’m alive, I won’t allow anyone to hurt the royal family. I’m sure you understand what I’m saying."

The Emperor nodded, "Master Vijay, I understand."

Vijay sighed again, saying, "So, if you really find any danger, please be sure to tell me. I’m just an old dragon, and I don’t have complicated thoughts like humans. I can’t understand many hidden conspiracies. But I can strangle some dangers that shouldn’t occur in the cradle."

The Emperor sincerely saluted Vijay, "Master Vijay, to be honest, something has indeed happened recently. But please rest assured, everything is still under my control. But if things really reach a point where I can’t reverse them, I will definitely ask for your help. Please believe, I’m not a fool who is self-righteous, I know when to advance and when to retreat."

Vijay nodded, didn’t say anything more, and turned to leave. Watching Vijay’s retreating figure, the Emperor muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear, "Master, although I trust you, you are still a member of the Dragon Clan after all. I don’t know what your status is among the Dragon Clan. There are some things that even you might not know! So, for now, I’ll leave my current troubles to us humans to solve."

Then, the Emperor turned around and looked in the direction where Long Yi left. After thinking for a while, a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Talent, what you need is a stage where your talent can truly shine!"

When Long Yi returned the same way, he saw that the front was surrounded by people in layers!

Long Yi could feel that Bajie and Xiaoyou were in the crowd, so Ai Lin and the others should also be inside, but what were these people encircling them for? Were the chef and the mosquito telling jokes inside?

He tried to squeeze in, but it was hard with Long Yi’s size. Helplessly, Long Yi had to resort to extraordinary measures.

"Come on! Make way! Here’s a pot of hot soup! Scalding hot soup! If you spill it on yourself, you’ll peel off a layer of skin!" Long Yi shouted loudly while grabbing the people in front of him and pulling them behind him. With Long Yi’s brute force, he quickly created a path.

In the crowd, two people watched Long Yi enter the crowd with cold eyes.

"Look at him, first he welcomed the Sea Emperor’s group with the Emperor, then in front of so many people protected the Emperor and the Sea Emperor. Now he’s certainly riding high. Oh, by the way, I heard he even fought the Tiger Whale Warrior to a draw." One man looked at Long Yi, disdainful smile on his lips.

"Fought a draw with the Tiger Whale Warrior? Hehe! Hahaha! That’s hilarious, why not say he killed dragons on Dragon Island?" Another man said sarcastically.

"Everyone knows he must’ve bragged about it himself, but now people actually seem to believe it, I just heard a group of them gossiping about it."

"Ah, let them. We’ll just sit back and enjoy the show in the fourth year. I want to see just how skilled this guy who apparently drew in a fight with a Tiger Whale warrior is!"

"Heh, they probably won’t even make it past the Four Heavenly Kings!"

"Those four oddballs may not look like much, but together they’re pretty strong. I’m curious how Long Yi will handle himself when he loses."

All this while, Long Yi was unbothered by these comments, his attention was entirely occupied by what was happening outside. People he recognized from previous encounters were also there voicing their complaints. But when they saw it was Long Yi, they immediately became quiet. That afternoon, a rumor spread throughout the academy that Long Yi had fought an equal match with a Tiger Whale Warrior. At first, folks were skeptical, but as more and more people shared the story, belief in it grew.

Later, the incident where Long Yi bravely fought the assassin helped everyone see his capabilities. The emperor’s private meeting also seemed to send a clear message to everyone.

The Emperor seemed to favor Long Yi!

This was almost beyond imagination because Long Yi had beaten up the Emperor’s third son in front of the Emperor himself! A person like Long Yi, who could earn the Emperor’s favor, must be overpowering!

Among the Dragon Knight’s academy, strength was the only measure of a person. They had to be either strong or weak.

In the students’ minds, as long as someone is strong they had an excellent standing. But if they were weak, they found no respect.

Soon, Long Yi broke through the crowd with an initiative he wasn’t even aware of. He then realized what everyone was initially paying attention to.

The little mermaid princess, Mina.

Mina was beaming at the crowd, seemingly just responded to someone’s question. When she saw Long Yi, she immediately leapt up and threw herself at him. Long Yi casually caught her and held her in his arms.

"Big bro! We’re finally classmates!" She exclaimed and promptly kissed Long Yi’s cheek.

Everything around them fell silent.

"Did you hear that! It sounds like something broke," the chef suddenly said.

"Those were the pure hearts of youngsters. Just now, completely shattered," Mosquito heaved a deep sigh before adding.

"So what shall we do?" the chef asked.

"What else can we do? Let’s become his disciples! We could glean something for chasing girlfriends from him in our lifetime," Mosquito said.

"That fool Joseph, if he just had the ability like Brother Long, he wouldn’t need his rice tactics to break the law," Wesley said. This event benefitted the Wesley family, so naturally, Wesley was ecstatic.

Feeling an unexpected chill on his face, Long Yi glanced down at the frowning Ai Lin and felt torn.

"Big bro, don’t worry! It’s just ocean etiquette!" Mina jumped out of Long Yi’s arms, spinning gleefully on the spot. Her massive tail shimmered beautifully in the setting sun.

"Shall we... go get some food first?" Scratching his head, Long Yi offered the only suggestion he could think of. (To be continued. If you like this novel, I would appreciate your votes on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users can visit m.qidian.com to read.)
