Chu Feng remembered his embarrassing manners out of shock and he couldn’t help but sigh regretfully. “You made the right decision. If other rune masters knew that you have such mastery in the art of runes at such a young age, they would also lose their composure like I did.”

He cupped his hands and said solemnly, “Little friend, please forgive my rudeness just now.”

Lin Xun smiled. “I’m called Lin Xun. You can call me Lin Xun.”

Chu Feng was extremely gentlemanly and courteous, which created a favorable impression to Lin Xun.

He knew very well that if Chu Feng had the temper of Old Mo, he would have driven him away already.

Chu Feng beckoned Lin Xun to take a seat as he took out a document to record Lin Xun’s rune master verification.

The record was a sort of proof that indicated that Lin Xun could enjoy the perks of any Rune Master Associations in the thirty four provinces of the empire as long as he carried the initial rune master bronze badge.

“Name?”

“Lin Xun?”

“Native place?”

“Feiyun Village in Donglin City.”

“Master?”

“None.”

Age?”

“Fourteen.”

“What?!”

Chu Feng’s hand trembled and he almost wrote a mistake when he heard Lin Xun’s age.

“Fourteen?”

Chu Feng lost his composure again. His eyes widened with shock as he stared at Lin Xun. A fourteen year old rune master. There are only a few in the entire empire!

According to rumors, very few people, including those from the three great rune families, had possessed the ability of rune master.

The most famous rune master in the empire today was Feng Qingyou, the genius maiden of Qinglu Academy. She had achieved the skills of rune grandmaster at the mere age of nineteen.

Rune master was a profession divided into different tiers: rune apprentice, rune master, rune grandmaster and rune founder.

Each tier had different levels. For example the rune master was further divided into initial, intermediate, advanced and expert .

It was easy to imagine how impressive it was for Feng Qingyou to receive the title of rune grandmaster at the age of nineteen.

However, Lin Xun, who became a rune master at the age of fourteen, wasn’t much inferior to Feng Qingyou.

“You…do you know Feng Qingyou?” Chu Feng asked.

Lin Xun nodded. “I heard that she’s a genius from the Feng clan, one of the three great rune families. Her father is the head of the Feng Clan and her master is the principal of Qinglu Academy.”

Old Mo had told Lin Xun about her and her name left a deep impression on Lin Xun.

Chu Feng said emotionally, “In my opinion, you’re comparable to Feng Qingyou. You might even be better.”

Lin Xun hurriedly said, “Elder, you’re over praising me.”

Chu Feng drew a deep breath and asked, “Do you know how much of a stir it would cause if I reported your matter to the higher-ups of the Rune Master Association?”

Lin Xun scrunched his brows.

But before Lin Xun answered, Chu Feng said with a smile, “Of course, that’s just my opinion. A genius like you likely doesn't want too much attention.”

Lin Xun inhaled deeply and assumed a serious expression. “Elder, can you promise me one thing?”

Chu Feng seemed to know what Lin Xun was about to say. “Do you know that you can rise to the top overnight and enjoy unimaginable status and privileges if you attract the attention of the true influential figures of the Rune Master Association?”

Lin Xun shook his head. “I’m not interested in those things.”

Chu Feng raised his brows in surprise. In his view, very few youngsters would be able to resist temptations such as fame, prestige, wealth and status like Lin Xun did...Which youngster wouldn’t want to have whatever they want?

However, Lin Xun refused without any hesitation. His expression was calm and relaxed. He clearly didn’t just decline but instead it was his heartfelt desire.

Chu Feng said solemnly, “You really decide to do this?”

Lin Xun nodded. “I hope Elder will agree.”

Chu Feng sighed emotionally, his voice filled with undisguised admiration. “Lin Xun, you are the most extraordinary young rune master I have ever seen. I believe you will have a very promising future.”

Lin Xun smiled. “Elder, does that mean you agree?”

Chu Feng laughed. “A gentleman helps others achieve what they want. Since you have asked me, how can I refuse? Not only do I promise to help you keep it a secret, but I also promise that no one else will know anything about you, at least in the Haze City Rune Master Association!”

Lin Xun stood up and bowed respectfully. “Elder, thank you.”

“This is just empty talk. How about I sign a rune agreement with you?” Chu Feng asked as he took out a scroll glowing a silver hue.

This scroll was covered with gorgeous and exquisite runes and emitted an obscure aura.

Lin Xun’s face lit up. “Is that the Book of Gods and Demons?”

“That’s correct.”

Lin Xun couldn’t stay calm anymore.

He had heard from Mister Lu that, in ancient times, the continuous war between the gods and demons brought chaos upon the world and people were plunged into suffering.

In the end, the gods and demons reached an agreement and signed a contract to promise that they would not violate each other. The side who broke the promise will be punished by heaven.

The contract seemed as fickle as a promise, but it was said to be derived from the powers of heaven. It was unfathomable and mysterious, and it indeed put an end to the ongoing wars between the gods and demons with its binding force.

After that, rune masters invented the Book of Gods and Demons based on the contract. Bound by the power of runes, anyone who dared to break their promise after signing the Book of Gods and Demons would suffer a calamity.

Of course, this was just a rumor, and even Mister Lu didn’t know whether it was true or not. However, the Book of Gods and Demons was undoubtedly real.

However, the Book of Gods and Demons was extremely rare and only a few were circulating around the world. Due to the lack of certain rune materials in the world, no rune master had been able to create it in the world.

Thus, the Book of Gods and Demons was very rare and there would be one less in the world once used.

Lin Xun was a little surprised to see Chu Feng actually take out the precious Book of Gods and Demons to keep his promise.

“Don’t think too much about it. I’m very optimistic about your future achievements, so I want to build a good relationship with you.” As though Chu Feng read Lin Xun’s mind, he calmly expressed his intention and seemed open and honest.

Lin Xun shrugged. “To tell you the truth, if you hadn’t been honest with me, I really wouldn’t dare to sign the contract.”

Chu Feng laughed loudly.

Lin Xun smiled.

Straightforward people spoke in a straightforward manner and made everything straightforward.

The two signed the Book of Gods and Demons with their blood.

Chi!

At that moment, the Book of Gods and Demons suddenly burst into flames and turned into nothingness.

Lin Xun suddenly felt that there seemed to be an extra mark in his soul—that was the power of the Book of Gods and Demons.

Lin Xun had a feeling that he could erase the mark when his spirit power reached a certain level!

Of course, that was just a feeling.

……

After signing the Book of Gods and Demons, the relationship between Lin Xun and Chu Feng had invisibly improved and they seemed closer than before.

Chu Feng couldn’t help chuckling when he learned about Lin Xun’s purpose of coming to the Rune Master Association, which was to make money. But he then patiently directed him.

It was actually very easy to make money in the Rune Master Association. Many commissions would be released in the commission zone on the first floor and a rune master would be rewarded with points and rewards after completion of the commissions.

Rune masters could also sell their aeth tools on consignment in the treasure zone. There were two ways to sell them on consignment: one was to clearly mark the price, and the other was auction.

There were also other various ways to make money. As long as one passed the verification process of the Rune Master Association, one could enjoy such perks.

Lin Xun took out the Snowfury Blade, an intermediate human-grade aeth tool. Chu Feng evaluated it and immediately suggested Lin Xun to put it in the treasure zone for auction.

Of course, Lin Xun agreed without any hesitation. After that, he bid goodbye and left.

……

As soon as Lin Xun left, Chu Feng hurriedly summoned the gray-clothed middle-aged man and beautiful attendant who welcomed Lin Xun.

“You both have met the young man who came to be verified as a rune master today right?” Chu Feng gently asked.

The middle-aged man in gray and the beautiful attendant nodded in unison, wondering if something bad had happened.

“From today on, do not disclose anything about him to anyone else.”

Chu Feng’s gentle expression turned imposing and even carried a hint of coldness. “If I hear rumors about him spread, regardless of whether you did it or not, I can tell you that you will bear the consequences!”

The gray-clothed middle-aged man and the beautiful attendant trembled, and their expressions dramatically changed. They immediately swore on their lives.

Chu Feng restored his gentle expression. He knew that promises were not reliable, but as the president of the Rune Master Association, he believed that the authority and power he possessed were enough to deter the two from ignoring his orders.

Chu Feng pondered for a moment and said to the beautiful attendant. “Your name is Yun Qiao, right? When the young man comes here again, you will be in charge of serving him. From now on, your salary will be tripled. That’s your reward.”

Astonished and afraid, the beautiful attendant nodded repeatedly. She looked a little dumbstruck.

“Jia Zhen, you are an elder in the association. From today onwards, you will be in charge of the treasure department. Remember, if you come across the young man’s consignments in the future, don’t mention his identity to anyone!”

The middle-aged man in gray, who was called Jia Zhen, lit up with joy. “President, don’t worry, I will follow your orders well!”

The manager of the treasure department was a well-paid job with a salary several times higher than his previous position as the person in charge of the verification zone!

“Good, you can leave now.” Chu Feng motioned with his hand.

Before leaving, Jia Zhen couldn’t help but ask, “President, dare I ask…how should we address the young master?”

After a long ponder, Chu Feng lightly spat out a word, “Xun."
