“Bokah! Don't you know who you're talking to?”
Just then, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe shouted loudly. Stare at Arthur with an angry look on his face.
“Former Kings who have abdicated. Then why? You think I'd be scared of a title like that? By the way ...
This place is not a suitable place for ordinary people without strength like you. Uh! I mean, the King who was forced to ascend the throne because no other candidate could be asked to ascend the throne.”
Arthur said in a bored tone. On one hand, he was irritated by people like them who liked to show off his power. Therefore, he immediately said full of sarcasm. Mocking that ‘ordinary people’ like them is nothing more than an insect in the eyes of a cultivator.
Of course, Arthur didn't consider everyone that way. What he does is actually simple. Respect those who honor him, and tread harder on those who seek to step on him. Be rude or gentle, it depends who the interlocutor is.
“You-“
“Enough!”
The old man, the former King instantly interrupted his son with an annoyed expression. Not only incompetent, his son is famous for making trouble. From what Arthur said, he immediately understood what was going on here.
“Due to old age, I no longer deal with the problems of the Fuji Kingdom. Whether you believe it or not, that's the fact. I don't care about your purpose. However, I will not allow you to cause trouble and humiliate the Fuji Royal Family in the eyes of the guests.
So what do you think, Young Man?”
At that moment, the pressure from Arthur's body instantly disappeared. He clapped his hands and changed his face. The cold expression on his face was replaced with a smile as warm as spring.
“Then each one of us better take one step back. I am not interested in your royal affairs, nor are you interested in my personal affairs. Walk in harmony on each other's paths. That's really nice, isn't it?”
“This Tianjin ..” The man muttered.
Although he was at the level of a three-star gold, the old man felt that fighting Arthur still put his life at risk. There might be some guests willing to help him, but that would throw their faces away as seniors. It was really difficult against juniors who were decades younger than them.
“One last question!” said the old man.
“Please say,” reply Arthur with a friendly smile on his face.
“Is that person still alive? Why are you helping him?”
“That's two questions, Old Man. Yes ... it's okay.” Arthur shrugged his shoulders. “He should still be alive. The reason why I helped him was to return the favor. It just so happened that I heard that her daughter was badly and was not getting the proper education. I came to teach him what he needed to learn and left. As simple as that.”
Not saying anything, the old man immediately left after hearing Arthur's reply. A few guests who seemed to be elders from some particular sect glanced at Arthur with curious expressions, but also immediately left from there and caught up with the departing royal family.
At that place, only Arthur, Jotaro, Nanami, the unconscious assassin leader, and the guards who also looked pale.
Ignoring the frightened guards, Arthur turned his gaze to Nanami. He then said kindly.
“Will I repeat once more. My name is Ryuma. The one standing behind me is-“
“Jotaro, Ryuma Boss bodyguard!”
“Can't you stop interrupting me?”
“Are you really my father's friends? Is ... is he really still alive?”
Hearing the question, Arthur who was initially angry at Jotaro was stunned. He then looked at the girl who was staring at them with curious eyes. At that very moment, the young man remembered that Takahide had not seen his daughter for many years.
Arthur immediately put a friendly smile on his face and explained.
“Jotaro does not know your father, but I know him. Our relationship is not so deep. He helped me a lot, that's why I returned the favor. Seeing you train hard, I know that you really intend to become a cultivator, right?
I don't know how high your talent is, but talent alone isn't enough. You also need a set of skill books to reach higher levels. The higher the skill, the higher the upper limit as well.
After you chose this path, you should have learned it, right? Even if you train hard and have good talent, with basic cultivation techniques and basic sword moves like that ...
You will not go anywhere (penetrate higher).”
Hearing Arthur's every word, Nanami's hands began to clench tightly. He bit his lips reluctantly. The girl obviously wanted to become stronger, but her path was so closed that she could not advance.
“If you may ask, why don't you think of running away? I know that some of the lower and middle level sects around Fuji Kingdom will not accept you for not wanting to ruin the friendship. But sects did not only exist around this kingdom.
There are bigger and stronger sects out there. Although the possibility of entering is also not so high, but it is better to try it than to be late and waste precious early time, right?”
At that moment, Arthur saw the figure of Nanami. Although she was not yet fully grown, the girl did look beautiful. A bit skinny, but his body also looked good. Realizing something, he muttered.
“Ya ... The outside world is indeed dangerous for a beautiful girl like you. I understand.”
Hearing that, Nanami was stunned for a moment. She's feeling a little embarrassed. Looking down, the girl said.
“I'm not afraid of danger outside. Although high risk, but that does not mean I do not dare. Even if I don't have money, I can also travel on foot. It's just .. I can't get out of the palace.
Even if I could escape, my mother would be left here. I don't want to leave my mother.”
While listening to Nanami's words, Arthur was stunned. He then smiled kindly.
“Then I didn't get it wrong to come to this place. You remember what I said before, don't you?”
“You came to teach me?” nanami Gumam. The girl then looked surprised. “Is that true?”
“For what I lied?” Arthur shrugged his shoulders. “In addition, I only taught you some time ago to leave. There's no way I'll stay here, right?”
Nanami doesn't seem to pay much attention to Arthur's last sentence and thinks only that the man isn't lying. Thinking of how the power of Arthur who dared to face the most feared figure in this kingdom so casually, the girl felt so excited. He immediately walked towards Arthur then knelt in front of him with a serious expression.
“Receive the respect of this disciple, Master!”
Many question marks appeared above Arthur's head. He has clearly explained that his role is only as a private teacher who teaches for a while. The young man actually did not want to stay for so long either. So he was really confused ...
Why did the girl directly salute in such a traditional way to herself?
