Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 596 - 53: The Promise

Just when Yue Jinghua and Cheng Ying had finalized their agreement, Yue Minzhi awoke.

"Huahua," having been unconscious for several days, Yue Minzhi’s voice was somewhat hoarse.

Cheng Ying excused herself to fetch water, leaving the siblings alone together.

Alone facing Yue Minzhi, Yue Jinghua, who had exchanged souls, still felt somewhat constrained.

She disclosed the events of the past few days, including how she went to the Dragon Rider Reserve Camp in his stead, and Yue Minzhi showed a look of surprise.

Of course, she omitted flattering Long Rui and learning the Dragon King Domain from Zhan Tian.

"Huahua, you and mother have really been too reckless this time," Yue Minzhi immediately adopted an elder brother’s demeanor. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Being wise beyond his years, upon learning that his sister had infiltrated the Dragon Rider Reserve Camp disguised as a woman, he felt even more self-reproach, yet, on the other hand, he felt somewhat relieved.

Even while unconscious, he was worried about being kicked out of the Dragon Rider Reserve Camp upon awakening.

He had even mentally prepared himself to face this reality, but little did he know that his sister would risk impersonating him.

"Big brother, you’re always wearing a stern face, you’re almost like an old man now. If you keep this up, Long Rui might not want you anymore," Yue Jinghua teased.

"Huahua, you’ve changed," Yue Minzhi initially felt awkward mentioning Long Rui, but then he sighed.

Yue Jinghua saw the change in his expression and became even more certain that Yue Minzhi was not entirely indifferent towards Long Rui. As she saw Yue Minzhi’s concern, she started to feel anxious, wondering if Yue Minzhi had noticed her own change.

"During the incident at Duke Mansion, you kept to yourself and wouldn’t speak. I was really worried that you would continue like that. Now seeing you so cheerful, I can feel at ease," Yue Minzhi’s handsome face showed a trace of relief, "And your face, how did it recover? Come on, tell big brother, how have you and mother been living in Shang Kingdom these past three or four years."

The incident at Duke Mansion, with Blood Sakura Duke Yue Nian missing, the most affected were not Yue Minzhi or Yue Chen.

The former was already a teenager of fifteen or sixteen at the time and had understood some matters, while the latter was just six or seven years old, naive and ignorant.

Only Yue Jinghua was at an age partially understanding, and she was the most sensitive to the changes in their family circumstances.

Even today, Yue Minzhi, in front of his sister Yue Jinghua, only carefully mentioned Duke Mansion and dared not mention their father’s name, for fear of reopening Yue Jinghua’s painful memories.

Yue Jinghua’s face crumpled, she thought to herself, "In ’Yue Jinghua’s’ memory, Yue Minzhi was a man of few words and doted on his sister excessively. How did he suddenly become a chatterbox who loves to nag? The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. It’s safer to change the topic."

"Big brother, that’s a long story. We can talk about it slowly after you return to Duke Mansion. I heard that in a month, the Dragon Pulling Test of the Dragon War Empire will be held, are you prepared?" Yue Jinghua heard that from becoming a Quasi-Dragon Knight to a Dragon Knight, the most crucial step was to participate in the Dragon Pulling Test.

Only those who pass the dragon’s trial in the Dragon Pulling Test and are accepted by a Sub-Asian Dragon can become a true Dragon Knight.

Moreover, the status that the Quasi-Dragon Knights eventually obtain varies based on the degree of recognition they receive during the Dragon Pulling Test.

In the past few days of interacting with Long Rui, Yue Jingha has already grasped the general idea.

Currently, the Dragon Rider Camp of the Dragon War Empire is divided into the Red Dragon Camp, Green Dragon Camp, Blue Dragon Camp, and Black Dragon Camp, with the Red and Blue Dragon Camps being Earth Dragons functioning similar to the army.

The Blue Dragon Camp is the Water Dragon Camp, functioning like the navy. The last type is the Black Dragon Camp, and Peng Bojinuo is the captain of this camp.

The strength and number of Sub-Asian Dragons vary among different Dragon Rider Camps, and their status from low to high is: the Red Dragon Camp responsible for offense, the Green Dragon Camp responsible for defense, the Blue Dragon Camp responsible for logistical support, and the Black Dragon Camp responsible for charging.

The most ideal outcome for Quasi-Dragon Knights is to enter the Black Dragon Camp and have a Black Dragon that can soar in the sky.

The worst outcome is failing to gain the recognition of the Sub-Asian Dragons and not becoming a Dragon Knight.

If a Quasi-Dragon Knight fails in the Dragon Pulling Test, they will lose the qualification to participate in the Dragon Knight selection for life.

Therefore, Yue Minzhi only has one chance, which is at the Dragon Pulling Test one month later, where he must gain the recognition of the Sub-Asian Dragon.

If Yue Jinghua continued to impersonate Yue Minzhi, being a Dual Summoner and Demon Summoner, she would undoubtedly have full confidence in selecting the most outstanding Sub-Asian Dragon.

But after all, she cannot replace Yue Minzhi for long, otherwise she will eventually expose herself.

"Regarding the Dragon Pulling Test, you need not worry too much, brother, I am confident in gaining the recognition of the Sub-Asian Dragon. Have you forgotten? Father once jokingly told us when we were little that we are descendants of the True Dragon. The Candle Dragon Heart Method that the men of the Yue Family have always cultivated can supposedly transform into a Divine Dragon and break through the void at the highest level," Yue Minzhi casually mentioned Yue Nian.

After he spoke, he quickly shut his mouth, cautiously looked at Yue Jinghua, and seeing no unusual reaction from her, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his sister had indeed grown up and come to terms with the disappearance of their father Yue Nian.

"It’s getting late, big brother, you should start your journey back to Yun Jiu Peak," Cheng Ying had already returned with the Elixir Pills. Yue Jinghua noticed that streaks of light were rising from the east and urged Yue Minzhi to go back, not knowing how Zhan Tian, who was drunk last night, is now.

With the tidying and cleaning of the Dragon Cave coming to an end, Yue Minzhi must quickly integrate into the training of the Reserve Camp, so he can stand out in the selection in a month.

Yue Jinghua has already been considering in secret whether to pull some strings with Jin Nuo and inquire how to better attract the Sub-Asian Dragon in the Dragon Pulling Test.

Before Yue Minzhi set off, Yue Jinghua suddenly called out to him, "Big brother, have you ever thought that maybe dad wasn’t joking, maybe what he said was true, and perhaps we siblings are truly the descendants of the True Dragon. If this is true, one day, if you are asked to leave here, would you agree?"

Yue Minzhi ruffled Yue Jinghua’s hair and laughed heartily, "No, I will never leave you and mother. Wherever you are, I will be there."

From the cold night when Yue Nian disappeared, when Yue Minzhi witnessed their mother Lie Rou’s swollen red eyes and heard his sister Yue Jinghua secretly crying in her room, Yue Minzhi swore, even at the cost of his life, he would protect his sister and mother.

Yue Jinghua felt warmth in her heart, a bright smile spread across her radiant face, "Me too, no matter where big brother and mother are, I will protect you both."

The siblings exchanged smiles, and seeing this, Cheng Ying also couldn’t help but smile.
