Chapter 5: Rumors Canโ€™t Be Trusted!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

โ€œItโ€™s all thanks to our savior Lin Qi!โ€

โ€œLin Qi, how did you do that? Youโ€™re amazing!โ€

Everyone cheered and heaved Lin Qi high into the air before catching him steadily. f๐š›e๐šŽ๐˜„๐’†๐š‹๐š—๐š˜ัต๐‘’๐š•.๐‘๐˜ฐ๐‘š

It took more than ten minutes for everyone to finally calm down. Nearby, Yu Mengโ€™s lips curled into a bright smile. She felt relieved. She had not expected that she would be saved by the weakest heir, Lin Qi.

Everyone in New Moon City was under the impression that Lin Qi was a good-for-nothing philanderer, but he was actually a brave and resourceful guy. That was really surprising.

Her sapphire-like eyes sparkled as she looked curiously at Lin Qiโ€™s handsome side profile. She could not help but mutter softly, โ€œIt seems that the rumors canโ€™t be trusted.โ€

โ€œYou managed to stand firm in the face of danger. How were you able to do that?โ€

Lin Qi had not noticed Yu Mengโ€™s gaze upon him. He looked at his hands and tried to soothe his trembling body. He felt afraid during the battle earlier but his emotions had already calmed down. Despite that, he was still trembling... His blood was surging!

It was as if... He was excited!

โ€œAlthough I was afraid, I still had the desire to fight!โ€ ๐˜ง๐“‡๐—ฒ๐‘’we๐™—noัต๐‘’l.๐œo๐˜ฎ

Lin Qi was keenly aware that he had the talent to fight, but he still required a lot more training and battle experience.

Nevertheless... He looked at Lewis, who had fainted close by. A grand swordmaster was just as strong as a four-star devil beast, but under the charge of such a creature, Lewis did not even have the strength to hold his own.

It was obvious that he was just a fake.

That so-called grand swordmaster was probably just a title he bought.

What was the point of doing that? In the face of real danger, all titles were useless. Only true strength could have helped ensured his safety earlier.

โ€œWhat a piece of trash! I thought that Lewis could be relied on, but now it seems that his title of being a grand swordmaster was obviously bought!โ€

โ€œTo think that I admired Lewis so much before, I didnโ€™t expect him to be a fake!โ€

โ€œHumph! When we return to New Moon City, Iโ€™ll expose that guyโ€™s hypocrisy to everyone. In reality, Lin Qi is the real hero!โ€

Many of the young heirs looked at the unconscious Lewis in anger. Several even kicked him a few times. The chief guard proceeded to turn a blind eye to their actions. Lin Qi laughed as he watched.

โ€˜Those guys really hold grudges.โ€™ He snickered.

Thinking about it now, it made sense. They all assumed Lewis would be their savior. Who would have thought that their savior was a liar that almost killed them?

Now, many people were looking at Lin Qi with respect instead!

Lin Qi did not mind. He knew the extent of his capabilities. He knew that he just happened to win with the aid of the systemโ€™s delicious food. His eyes fell on Yu Meng who was standing to the side.

That girlโ€™s strength was nothing to sneeze at.

The only problem was that she lacked combat experience. If she had not frozen the tusked pigโ€™s limbs but conjured ice to pierce through its head instead, that battle would have been much easier.

Of course, all of this did not matter to him. โ€˜After all, my goal is not to become the city lord, but to survive the trial and enjoy the extravagant life of a medieval noble!โ€™

After ten minutes had passed, Lewis regained consciousness and sat up. He bared his teeth and said, โ€œWhatโ€™s going on? I was hit by the tusked pig only once but why do I feel sore all over?โ€

Lin Qi laughed.

โ€˜Of course, you feel sore all over. Dozens of heirs had kicked you several times just now.โ€™

โ€œIโ€™m still alive? The tusked pig was defeated... But how?โ€

His eyes widened, and he looked around in panic and shock. If he was not the one who defeated the tusked pig, then why did everyone else look so unscathed? That was a devil beast that even he could not handle. Who could have defeated it?

โ€˜Could it have been Yu Meng?โ€™

She was a water mage, so she was the only possibility.

โ€œIt was Lin Qi. He was the one who took down the tusked pig.โ€

No one was willing to spare a glance at Lewis. The chief guard looked at him disdainfully and said calmly, โ€œBecause of Lin Qi, we were able to survive.โ€

It was not an exaggeration to say that if it was not for Lin Qi, everyone would have died at the hands of the tusked pig.

That so-called grand swordmaster, Lewis, had been causing nothing but trouble for them from the beginning to the end. The chief guard looked down on people like that the most. They clearly did not have any special abilities, but they always liked to think that they were outstanding.

All they ever did was make a fool of themselves because when the real problem appeared, they became cowards.

In his eyes, even ten Lewisโ€™ were inferior to one Lin Qi. It seemed that the rumor of Lin Qi being worthless was not credible.

โ€œImpossible! Trash like him canโ€™t even hold a sword steadily. How could he have defeated the tusked pig?โ€

Lewis snorted. He then looked at the broken sword beside him and screamed, โ€œMy sword! Why is it broken in two?โ€

His heart was wounded. He had spent a lot of money to buy that longsword.

Now, it was broken in two. He was devastated.

Now, no one was giving him their time of day, and Lin Qi was too lazy to explain. He had always believed in one truth: the secret to living long was to avoid arguing with stupid people.

They continued walking until nightfall.

The weather was cool, and the sky was full of beautiful stars. They chose a riverside to set up camp.

Lin Qi looked into his backpack only to discover that he had lost his supply of water while he was fighting the tusked pig. Lewis came over and laughed, โ€œHahaha, you donโ€™t have any water? Tough luck!โ€

โ€œAs for me, Iโ€™ve already prepared two servings of dry food. Donโ€™t worry, I wonโ€™t share any of it with a loser like you!โ€

His face was smug as he taunted Lin Qi.

However, that sneer made him look like a mule in Lin Qiโ€™s mind.

Lin Qi could not help but roll his eyes. He could not be bothered with such a fool. He had a whole gourmet system, and Lewis was under the impression that Lin Qi would be begging him for food. What a joke!

โ€œYu Meng, Iโ€™ll share it with you. Have some dry food and water!โ€

Lewisโ€™s eyes were shining as he looked at Yu Meng. His guard had told him that Yu Meng was not only a water mage but also an ice mage.

It was only a matter of time before he, himself became a powerful mage. If he could marry Yu Meng, they would definitely be able to give birth to powerful heirs.

He brushed back his golden hair and revealed his handsome face. His smile was bright and gentle, but Yu Meng took two steps back and said coldly, โ€œThereโ€™s no need. Weโ€™re not even acquainted.โ€

Immediately, Lewisโ€™s face stiffened.

Whoosh!

An icicle shot out.

Under Yu Mengโ€™s control, it pierced through a fat fish in the river. She then looked at the raw fish that was still jumping about and was stumped. She did not have the equipment to make a fire.

She did not even know how to start a fire.

Even when she had managed to catch a big fish, there was no way for her to cook it. Her stomach rumbled. Powerful mage aside, she was still human and she needed sustenance.

โ€œHahaha!โ€ Lewis laughed haughtily.

He tilted his head and thought, โ€˜That talented ice mage will fall into my hands sooner or later!โ€™

No woman could ignore his handsome face.

Even if they could, no one would be able to resist the temptation of food.

All of a sudden, a delicious aroma wafted through the air. It was the scent of meat, but there was also another indescribable fragrance. Everyoneโ€™s eyes widened!

โ€œThat smells so good!โ€
