Chapter 126: Chapter 115: The Second Kind of Law-Figure-World? (A combination of two into one, 5200 words)_3

Wang Xinfei forced a smile and mumbled to herself, "I seem... to have no choice."

"No, you do." Ye Hanjun simply said,

"You could choose not to submit to me and opt for suicide. You just can’t do it."

"I don’t want to die..."

Wang Xinfei lifted her head, her crimson eyes trembling, but still trying to meet his gaze, and softly said:

"Perhaps, what you see of me isn’t all there is of me..."

"In the past, I lived obliviously, basking in the glory of my family, oblivious to everything else, revelling in everything that was rightfully mine...";

"But ever since I found out that the purpose of my existence was merely a tool for my family to secure alliances through marriage, I’ve been angry, lost, depressed, despaired... This cycle continued but in the end, I still managed to muster the courage to participate in the survival trials, trying to change this predetermined outcome through my own efforts..."

"From the moment I took that step, no matter how slim the chances, I at least felt that I was struggling, resisting."

"Now, your appearance gives me a new opportunity... doesn’t it?"

As she spoke, Wang Xinfei’s trembling voice gradually stabilized.

She exhaled a murky breath, copying Li Jingming’s gesture, and knelt before Ye Hanjun, saying respectfully:

"Apprentice Wang Xinfei, is formally acknowledging you as my master today."

"I do not ask for Master Han’s selflessness, nor expect anything from Master Han."

"But the words of Master Han, will be treated as priceless treasures. If I can learn any skills from you, I will be overjoyed and grateful beyond words!"

Ye Hanjun instinctively furrowed his brows.

Wang Xinfei, who was kneeling with her head to the ground, was sincere, temporarily suppressing her so-called unwillingness and humiliation deep within her heart.

Her pride, at least before him, was completely shattered.

What was left was rather the desperation of a drowning person trying to grasp at straws... this was a bit unexpected.

Pondering for a moment, Ye Hanjun inserted the last Key of the Gray Moon into Wang Xinfei’s forehead.

There’s no point struggling over it any longer.

Risks and opportunities coexist, a saying he should remember for himself as well.

The moment he decided to use Wang Xinfei’s virgin blood and the Healing Orb, in a certain sense, he became entangled with this trouble.

Next, neither binding an apprentice nor killing can turn back time or prevent subsequent trouble.

"Boom!!"

The mental shock was beyond words.

It was only when the Key of the Gray Moon integrated into her forehead, blended into her soul and Wang Xinfei opened her eyes, she understood how calm Li Jingming had been just now.

Ye Hanjun’s brows, which should’ve relaxed, furrowed once again.

He stopped worrying about troublesome matters, deciding to face whatever came his way.

However, while binding Wang Xinfei, Instructor unlocked new heritage information.

This message stated that the upper limit of the Respecting Teacher’s Ring could, at most, amplify standard D-level authority to superior C-level.

If Ye Hanjun accepted a new apprentice, he would hold C-level authority.

Then this effect of promotion won’t trigger, the Respecting Teacher’s Ring isn’t powerful enough to easily break the barrier of medium authority and reach high-level authority.

"C-level... is enough."

"This is almost the highest level of power in this area of the Giant Frog Marsh..."

"But the appear of this message seems to suggest that I can continue to take new apprentices after promoting my rank?"

Ye Hanjun pondered over this, registered the information and temporarily put it aside.

He has no time to research what the new abilities gained through the Respecting Teacher’s Ring are from the two new disciples.

He created a simple yet delicate ignition device at the quickest speed, using the flammable powder of ore as the fuse and placing the Explosion Pearl at the end.

"Whoosh!"

The flame was lit, and Ye Hanjun withdrew Huazhu, and he was the first one to rush out of the tunnel.

Wang Xinfei, who held Hu Linlin, and Li Jingming, who held Sun Houbing, closely followed behind him, on a wild run.

Not until they ran out of the cave from the other end did Ye Hanjun overheard the distant cries of the Blood-hand Sparrow, indicating that the Ghost Hand was still in a fierce fight and couldn’t spare too much energy.

"Summon the armored horse, avoid the central area, and then run towards the survival base," Ye Hanjun commanded in a solemn voice.

"Yes..." Wang Xinfei nodded. She, who had no time to wear the Silver Armor piece by piece, was now wearing a simple wind coat, with a solemn demeanor overflowing from her.

She was riding the armored horse, while Ye Hanjun continued to sit behind her, with Sun Houbing and Hu Linlin stacked atop the horse’s rear.

This unprecedented experience of carrying four people was probably unforgettable for the armored horse, which has a ’Self-esteem’ as its Core Personality.

"Hie!"

In a critical moment, the Armored Horse Kui Kui dared not show any temper.

Like Ton Ton Pig, it also ranks among the top of wild beasts in terms of intelligence.

Although it didn’t see Ye Hanjun transform into a demon, it remembered that he threatened the master and stabbed its ass with a Dagger.

Retribution is not to be taken lightly, the time has not yet come!

Escape is the priority!

The armored horse galloped madly, carrying four people, panting heavily.

About ten miles into the run, a dull explosion came from behind. Ye Hanjun turned back to see a plume of black smoke rising.

The cave——collapsed!

Whether it’s Ghost Tooth, Ghost Hunt, Decaying Dog, or Chimney frog’s corpse.

Those closest to the Explosion Pearl were at most turned into black charcoal.

In this way, the goal of destroying the bodies and erasing traces was achieved. No one could find their corpses and confirm how they died.

With this, Ye Hanjun has ways to make a statement, covering up the truth that he lost control and killed people.

"It has been half an hour since the Ghost Hand mercenary group started killing..."

"Zhi Zhengqing must have arrived, but it is unknown whether the people at the survival base have detected any anomalies in time..."

With the Key of the Gray Sun, Ye Hanjun could vaguely sense the location of the disciples.

The two nearest him were undoubtedly Wang Xinfei and Li Jingming.

The distant one was Su Mei’s. She was always alive and hadn’t changed her position. She should be hiding in the underground shelter with Zhao Li, Huang Dengshan, and Zhang Wu, unnoticed.

"Roar!!"

To the east, a sharp piercing sound rang out, and a Sun Bird with a wing span of ten meters soared high into the sky, just like a miniature sun, releasing a strong light.

Regardless of the distance, or whether it hurts the eyes.

Ye Hanjun forced back the stinging sensation of tear flow, trying to see clearly.

Three people stood on the back of the Sun Bird. They all wore the same black armor, holding swords or crossbows. Their dark faces, like dark clouds, stared at the trial center with anger.

Reinforcements...

They’re finally here!

--------------------

PS: Compared to the climax, the transitional Chapters after the end are even harder to write. If they don’t flow well, I need to reduce the word count to allow for thinking.

In another words, the plot is interlinked and triggers a chain reaction. At the end of each section, I have to spend a lot of energy to reorganize the outline and sub-outline to prevent the plot from straying off course. Please understand~
