MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1298 - 275: Master and Disciple Reunited
Capítulo 1298: Chapter 275: Master and Disciple Reunited
“Come in!” Lu Hong’s gentle voice sounded, and Qin Hong became even more excited. He hurriedly stood up, holding Tian Shengji’s hand, and rushed into the tent.
Upon looking up, Tian Shengji saw Lu Hong sitting cross-legged on the meditation mat on the ground.
Seeing Lu Hong’s handsome face, Tian Shengji was startled, and upon seeing the other’s deep, water-like eyes, she quickly looked down, not daring to take another glance.
Tian Shengji’s expression was calm, without any fluctuation, but inside, her heart was already tumultuous.
Initially, Tian Shengji had only heard some information about the Photon City Lord. She had her own depiction of his strength and appearance. In her impression, this Photon City Lord should be a man in his forties, with a robust and burly body, a man of blood and masculinity.
However, the Photon City Lord before her was nothing like she had imagined. At first glance, one wouldn’t think of Lu Hong as a top-notch warrior; instead, he would be mistaken for an elegant scholar. Such an appearance was hard to reconcile with his war achievements.
Lu Hong only glanced lightly at Tian Shengji, then looked softly at Qin Hong and said, “You were probably abducted by the Sky Family, right?”
Hearing this, Qin Hong nodded, “Yes, it was the Sky Family who took me and my three thousand Qin Long Guards. However, the Qin Long Guards were divided and taken away by nine families at that time, while I was detained at the Songhu Courtyard under the jurisdiction of the Sky Family’s second household, unable to leave. Although I wanted to, I couldn’t rescue those captured soldiers, leading to the leakage of the meditation technique and battle formation technique taught by Master. I ask for Master’s punishment!”
“This is not your fault. Although I could guess whose hands you were in, I didn’t know the exact place of your imprisonment and couldn’t rescue you in time. I hope you can understand as your master.”
In response, Qin Hong quickly shook his head and said, “Master is like a reborn parent to his disciple. It was my incompetence, not Master’s fault.”
“Hmm… Let me think,” Lu Hong nodded, accepting Qin Hong’s response, then continued, “Since you have made it here on your own, it must be due to the events in the Western Battle Zone, which the Sky Family must have known about. They released you to ease tensions, right?”
“Yes, over the past few years, the second household has detained me at the Songhu Courtyard, but I have to say, they treated me well. As long as I didn’t leave the Songhu Courtyard, I could do whatever I wanted. Also…”
Saying this, Qin Hong mustered up the courage and said, “While at the Songhu Courtyard, I got married. This is my wife, Tian Shengji.”
Tian Shengji immediately said, “Shengji greets Master!”
Lu Hong nodded, “It’s good that you are married. It brings with it some concerns and responsibilities, and you’ll be more steady in your actions in the future.”
“Master, Shengji is the second daughter of the second household. Now that your authority is growing, the Sky Family is beginning to retreat from the Rongtian Domain to avoid Photon City’s revenge. However, the second household of the Sky Family has not committed any unforgivable sins against Photon City. I hope Master can spare the second household for my sake.”
To this, Lu Hong slightly smiled, “In the end, the Qin Long Guards are your soldiers. Who you choose to take revenge on should be decided by you. It’s just that since I couldn’t find your whereabouts before, I seized power and helped you achieve revenge on the Western Battle Zone. Now that you’re back, I’ll temporarily hand over these thirty thousand Divine Might Army troops to you. Within the next year, you can recruit and rebuild the Qin Long Guards, expanding them to a force of fifty thousand. Of course, you can plan according to your abilities. In the upcoming revenge, your master will be by your side, but you can decide everything on your own and need not consult me. Just remember one thing—you need not fear anyone’s threats. With me here, you can turn Rongtian Domain upside down, and I can manage everything for you.”
“Thank you, Master!”
After chatting for quite a while in the tent, Qin Hong left with contentment and settled in one of Lu Hong’s nearby tents with Tian Shengji.
“Brother Hong, your Master looks so young!” Tian Shengji patted her chest and said, “But there’s something inexplicable about his presence, something so intimidating I hardly dared to breathe.”
Hearing this, Qin Hong embraced Tian Shengji by the waist and smiled, “Master is the strongest warrior of our time. Even just standing there, he can make entire armies retreat—a presence that commands respect without anger. You’ll get used to it; actually, Master is quite amicable.”
“Mm-hmm.” Tian Shengji nodded slightly, but in her heart, she was grumbling incessantly. Amicable, my foot. It depends on who you are. To you, who’s his only acknowledged disciple, he’s absolutely forgiving. But for others, it’s another story. Exterminating entire cities at the drop of a hat—who could withstand that? It’s behavior worthy of a tyrant’s infamy in history books.
Just as the two were getting settled, the senior commanders of the Divine Might Army arrived outside Qin Hong’s temporary tent upon receiving orders, calling out, “Li Can, Deputy General of the Divine Might Army, seeking audience with the Young City Lord, along with the commanders of its three divisions!”
Upon hearing this, Qin Hong, who had been absent-mindedly touching Tian Shengji, composed his demeanor and opened the door of the tent himself to greet them inside.
Seeing Qin Hong’s humble demeanor, the four commanders appeared quite anxious, “Young City Lord, you’re being too kind. It’s improper for you to greet us personally.”
As they stepped into the tent and saw the stunning Tian Shengji, their expressions turned noticeably awkward.
They had rushed over upon receiving orders, knowing very little about Qin Hong, so they had no idea he would bring a woman into the military camp.
Instantly, the four of them lowered their heads, not daring to glance at Tian Shengji again. They knew that regardless of the woman’s identity, she likely had a significant connection to the Young City Lord.
In Photon City now, apart from City Lord Lu Hong, there’s no sign of any of his family members. Lu Hong had openly stated to the high-level family members in Photon City that he was a solitary man with no family there and that the future of Photon City would certainly be in his disciple Qin Hong’s hands. Hence, all the people of Photon City naturally held great respect for this future Young City Lord. As long as City Lord Lu Hong remains unmarried and without heirs, Qin Hong is the established successor to the Photon City Lord, unless he foolishly betrays Lu Hong.
Seeing their respectful demeanor, Qin Hong immediately extended a hand to support them, “You don’t need to be so formal. I’m a very approachable person.”
Qin Hong could understand the source of their formality, so he gave Tian Shengji a knowing look and continued, “Esteemed generals, this tent is only temporarily set up and lacks seating. Why don’t we go somewhere else to talk?”
Hearing Qin Hong’s suggestion, the four repeatedly nodded and exited the tent.
Qin Hong followed the four to a temporary command center for military discussions. In front was a large sand table, marked with various mountains, rivers, and cities of the vast Rongtian Domain, resembling a scaled-down map of Rongtian Domain.
Upon seeing the military sand table of Rongtian Domain, Qin Hong couldn’t help but widen his eyes, “How… how did you create this?!”
Qin Hong approached the sand table closely, scrutinizing the lifelike mountains, rivers, and city models, “Even the Sky Family doesn’t have such a detailed sand table model.”
Upon hearing Qin Hong’s admiration, the Divine Might Army’s Deputy General smiled slightly, “Reporting to the Young City Lord, this is all thanks to the Hidden Guards under the City Lord’s command.”
“Hidden Guards?!”
Seeing Qin Hong’s puzzled expression, the four of the Divine Might Army slightly furrowed their brows. Is it possible the Young City Lord doesn’t know about the Photon City Hidden Guards? Does the City Lord not intend to inform the Young City Lord about the Hidden Guards?
If they disclose the existence of the Hidden Guards to the Young City Lord, wouldn’t they be messing up the City Lord’s plans?!
For a moment, the four senior commanders of the Divine Might Army were at a loss about how to respond to Qin Hong.
