BXBX NOVEL Chapter 115 Chief Justice
AT THE TIME he went out of Long Guang’s world, Yang Lujia went back to an airship. However, this time, he particularly went to Bai Qian’s side. When the latter noticed his sudden arrival, Bai Qian hurriedly bowed his head with his fist cupped toward Yang Lujia.
“What’s the situation?” Yang Lujia asked, smiling amiably.
Bai Qian also saw this smile and he felt his body shudder uncontrollably. It was as though a predator was trying to swallow him hole.
Coming to his senses, Bai Qian immediately responded, “We’re fine now, sir.”
“What about your daughter?”
“She’s there, pestering someone.” Bai Qian scratched the back of his head, slightly embarrassed. “That junior of mine must have suffered because of my daughter’s ruthless attacks. She just liked to beat someone up.”.
“Oh,” Yang Lujia reacted as he stared in the direction of the strange screams from a room. “Oh, right, I was just here to check whether all of you are doing okay. After all, I am thinking of taking all of you under my wing. How ’bout it?”
Compared to the others he had invited, he was rather direct when inviting Bai Qian. Earlier, he realized that the old man’s ways were also direct. He wasn’t like Wang Lao or Xia Zhiguang who talked about a lot of things first before going to their main point. Her daughter must have inherited this attitude of him.
Nevertheless, that wasn’t his concern. His concern was about recruiting people to his side. After all, like in another world, an organization wouldn’t work without people working hand in hand. It was a given that an organization must be a composition of not only one person but several.
“When I want to ascend to a higher realm, I am planning to bring you along with me. There, in the higher realm, I will build our own sect. It would be called Origin Court.”
Bai Qian was silent all the time as he weighed the pros and cons. When he came to a decision, he knew that by following this young man, he and his family would be able to reach heights they had not tried reaching before. Perhaps this would become the best decision he would never regret in the future.
“Alright,” Bai Qian readily agreed.
Yang Lujia was a bit surprised by Bai Qian’s immediate answer. He wasn’t expecting an answer on the spot after all. “That’s great, then. Well, then, farewell. That’s my true purpose why I came here. I’ll also come to convince Xia Zhiguang.”
Bai Qian’s eyes lit up as he got excited to know he would have a companion to get along with, now that he was not yet very comfortable with Yang Lujia’s presence. He was also certain that Xia Zhiguang would agree to it as well. Only an idiot would not.
Later on, Yang Lujia came back to Bai Qian’s airship. However, his face wasn’t showing any expressions. It was terrifyingly calm.
Bai Qian then asked timidly, “How was it, sir?”
“He did not agree,” Yang Lujia replied with a shake of his head.
“What?” Bai Qian mumbled subconsciously. “Is he an idiot?”
Yang Lujia then looked at Bai Qian strangely but later ignored the latter. “Well, he did not say he did not totally agree. He said that I should give him some time to discuss it with his family and his people.”
Bai Qian let out a light cough, as if something blocked his throat from speaking further. If Xia Zhiguang knew about him calling the former an idiot, he would really be busted by that old man’s banter skills. “Anyway, what are you going to do now, sir?”
“You should not call me ‘sir’ anymore,” Yang Lujia instead responded. “Call me the Chief Justice.”
“Chief Justice?” Bai Qian was confused. “Why Chief Justice?”
“Just call me that,” Yang Lujia said, without explaining. “By the way, my organization is called the Origin Court and it is called a court as it was for a reason. A court is where justices are exacted with enough proof and evidence beyond reasonable doubt. As I am like the sect leader, I will be called the Chief Justice. As for my subordinates’ designations like yours, I cannot think of anything yet.”
With that, Yang Lujia disappeared once more. Days after sulking on his own within Wang Lao’s ship, they finally arrived in Guile City. Fortunately, the Death Hydra had not yet conducted its purge on this city. Otherwise, they would not have anyone to come back to.
As if sensing something, the City Lord Ancestor of Guile City hurriedly went in their direction and arrived in front of the three almost unnoticeable airships which Yang Lujia had modified. “Who are these people now? Is this part of the purge?” His voice was deep as his solemn eyes were wanting to pierce through the walls of the airships.
Incredibly, he couldn’t see through them.
Each of them looked perfect. Then, Wang Lingyun seemed to have thought of something. “Has that old man Xia Zhiguang brought his brigade here to help me fight?”
“You’re not injured, but you’re dying due to old age,” a voice rang in the air as he saw a young man floating in the air while abridging the distance between them.
Wang Lingyun’s instincts rolled and told himself that the young man in front of him was dangerous. “Who are you? Are you the human transformation of the Death Hydra?”
When Yang Lujia heard what the old said, he was a little surprised. Did that Death Hydra have its own human transformation like Long Guang’s or his own? After all, among his two special bodies, one was that of a dragon. However, he could only be considered a half-bred dragon as he only acquired the special body of the dragons and not their bloodlines, unlike Long Guang.
“No,” he replied with a smile on his face. “Are you out here now to protect the city? If you continue using your qi while floating in the air, it’ll only quicken the time it’ll take for you to die.”
“Father.” Wang Lao immediately made an appearance and arrived in front of his father. “You don’t have to worry about Cao Nima. He was that kid I used to tell you about, the one that was as strong as a Saint but never would have I thought he would be stronger than that. Father, he alone caused the destruction of the Echinemon Race, according to what I know, and released their control on the Death Hydra. We came here to come back to you. Sir Cao Nima was also here to try and extend your lifespan. He said that he also needed to do something here.”
“Oh,” Wang Lingyun’s reaction. He was rendered somewhat speechless of what he knew by now. “So, he was that kid…”
