Chapter 330: 8.57 First Blue Star - Silly Brothers
In the middle region, in Feng Jing's group campsite.
It was at dawn when Zhi Yue reached the campsite of his host's group. Most soldiers were asleep except for those in guarding duty. The students were resting for the day until a sudden commotion was heading outside their tents.
Voices of the soldiers in duty can be heard echoing in the middle of the night.
Who are you!?
Stop! Don't move! Stay where you are!?
This area is under the protection of three generals! You cannot be here!
Why are you here? Report your name!
Raise your hand and don't do anything suspicious or else we will shoot!
This commotion had awakened few of the authorities and students in the camp. Lieutenant General Xue Ying comes out of his tent to check. Major General Feng is also with him as these two were having a drink when the chaos outside was heard.
Xue Ying asked, "What is it? Why are you so noisy?"
"Did Xiao Jing arrive? Don't block him? EH? It's not him." said Feng Yang.
The soldiers on guard duty all saluted in the presence of these two superiors. They all collectively replied like a good greeting when greeting them.
"Reporting to the Generals! We had found a suspicious man!"
"He approached the tent out of nowhere and we only noticed him when he appeared right in front of us"
"But he carried no weapons on him and insisted on seeing a student named Feng Wu."
The expressions of Lieutenant General Xue Ying and Major General Feng Yang turned serious when they heard the contents of the report. Someone with unknown background had appeared and was looking for Feng Wu who is Feng Jing's First aide.
This person is either an enemy who is pretending to know someone to infiltrate the camp or a young man sent by Feng Jing to inform him about his situation. Zhi Yue used his real human appearance but changed his clothes to what this world is known for.
He looks like a student with long black hair and a pair of violet eyes. His features were delicate yet his demeanor feels like he possessed calmness that is not meant for his age. Even right now when the soldiers' weapons are pointed towards him, his face remains calm and fearless.
Zhi Yue raised his hand as he was told and only stared at the two familiar faces he had known and seen for a month or so.
"My name is Zhi Yue. Hidden Aide of Young Lord Feng Jing. I call for Feng Wu as he is the only one who could testify to my identity. I also have my lord's token with him to show proof that was sent here by Lord Jing!" said Zhi Yue as a crimson Phoenix-shaped token with a character of Jing appeared hanging on Zhi Yue's hand.
A slight surprise appeared on Feng Yang and Xue Ying's face, of all people in this camp the two of them who are blood-related to Feng Jing, know the authenticity of the token with this young man who calls himself Zhi Yue.
Feng Jing as the Young Lord of the phoenix clan possessed a unique token to prove his identity. This is also used as a love token given to their chosen mate. If Zhi Yue possessed this token which is supposed to be in the possession of Marshal Sirius meant few things.
It means that Feng Jing is safe and is now with Marshal Sirius. Lieutenant General Xue Ying gestures to the soldiers to lower their weapons while at the same time approaching the young man with vigilance.
Xue Ying commanded, "Lower your weapons and return to your positions!"
"Yes, Lieutenant General Xue!" said the soldiers before going back to their posts.
Feng Yang approached Zhi Yue fearlessly and took the token of Feng Jing with him. Examining it closely whether it is real or not. Zhi Yue waited for the two characters of this world to check the token he had secured from his Lord God.
Xue Ying asked, "Is it real, Yang?"
Feng Yang nodded his head and looked at Zhi Yue, staring and observing this unknown person before him.
"Send someone to call A'Wu," said Feng Yang.
He agreed with his cousin's careful thoughts and ordered a soldier on guard duty to summon Feng Wu to the main tent and send another to inform Regulus Zenith about the situation.
Feng Yang said to Zhi Yue, "As long A'Wu prove your identity you would be given the freedom you are supposed to have but until then..."
Lieutenant General Xue Ying made a handcuff with ice and captured Zhi Yue temporarily. The latter didn't fight back and allow these two generals to restrain him.
Xue Ying continues Feng Yang's words, "Until then you are staying with us, you don't mind do you?"
"Lord Jing says to listen to his family when he is not around. So Zhi Yue will comply with your words, Seniors!"
Feng Yang and Xue Ying were stunned by Zhi Yue's nonchalant attitude. It is completely different from the silent demeanor they've seen as a first impression. The two brought Zhi Yue in their main tent while they waited for Feng Wu.
They continue to observe the young man who seems to be a bit silly not to notice what kind of situation he had ended up in.
Feng Yang said, "Kid, are you an ordinary person or a guide?" He just based the kid's position on his appearance.
"Eh? Zhi Yue is a Sentinel thought," replied Zhi Yue.
Being a sentinel would allow him to stay reasonably with Marshal Sirius and protect his host in his human form. So he had chosen this act and used the word sentinel to back up his strength as a cultivator which is beyond a mortal's ability.
Xue Ying, "What!?"
"You're kidding!!?" exclaimed Feng Yang.
The expressions of the two generals show astonishment and disbelief. After all, Zhi Yue looks no more than a teenager with arms and legs including a height smaller than their younger brother, Feng Jing. These two Sentinel Generals could believe what this petite boy was talking about.
Zhi Yue dips his head a bit when the two adult men shout out of nowhere.
"B-But Zhi Yue is not lying. I am really a Sentinel. An SSS rank one. Lord Jing said so!"
Feng Yang and Xue Ying looked at each other, still not believing what the child was talking about. But they had the same thoughts of trying out the kid, Feng Yang grabbed the boy's shoulder while Xue Ying pulled over some tables and chairs. After pushing Zhi Yue into one of the chairs, Feng Yang took the other end then grabbed the right hand of Zhi Yue intending to wrestle each other.
Feng Yang said, "Okay~ let's say that we believe you but... you need to show us some proof. I and Xue Ying are both peak SS ranked Sentinels, if you are able to defeat both of us in an arm wrestle then... we will believe that you are an SSS-ranked Sentinel as you proclaimed."
"Too many words! Grab each other's hands. On my mark, you would begin." said Xue Ying.
Zhi Yue was panicking that even the two in front of him could see his expression. They thought that the boy was indeed lying to them as an SSS-ranked Sentinel. After all, how rare an SSS-ranked awakened one there is. In the Oberion Empire, only 6 are recorded. With three dead and one is missing. Marshal Janus Stellan is an SSS-ranked Sentinel as well but Marshal Altair Sirius is stronger than him due to the difference and age plus talent. Marshal Sirius is so talented that even his real physique is immeasurable above the regular SSS-ranked Sentinel.
Thoughts of Zhi Yue, 'I-If I accidentally broke host's body's brothers would I get beaten up in exchange? Wuwuwu~'
But who would have expected it, that the young man named Zhi Yue is worrying that he might accidentally break these two generals' bones and get scolded by his host once he came back?
Xue Ying and Feng Yang were smirking when they saw that the young man's face turned pale but still decided to tease him as he looks silly.
"Okay. Get ready~ Start!" said Xue Ying.
But it seems that Zhi Yue didn't hear it, Feng Yang took this chance to teach this brat and wanted to use just enough force to push down the hand of Zhi Yue. Only for his hand to be stuck on where it was. The clasped hand of Zhi Yue on Feng Yang's right hand was like a straight metal he was unable to bend.
When Feng Yang looked at the owner of the hand, Zhi Yue was still deep in his thoughts and didn't even hear the remark from Xue Ying starting the wrestling game. Xue Ying wasn't blind and also noticed his cousin's reactions and movements. He saw him use minimal force to push the young man's hand intending to tease him only for his cousin's hand to be stuck and motionless no matter how much he pushed the child's hands down.
Seeing this Xue Ying wants to save his cousin from embarrassment and takes the opportunity to help him push down the hands of Zhi Yue. The two worked together but the slender hand of Zhi Yue was like a nailed metal that they couldn't bend at all. After using all of their strength that they were even panting, Zhi Yue finally decided to ask the two generals to stop and move his body to look at them but didn't expect to move his right hand at the same time, a force that Feng Yang and Zhi Yue didn't expect was suddenly felt all over their bodies.
Feng Yang felt his right hand twisting in an unbearable position that he had to follow the motion of his right hand and successfully avoided his right arm from fracturing though he still ended up with a right dislocated shoulder. While Xue Ying was focusing on pulling down Zhi Yue's hand with all his weight and force was shocked when he saw his body getting flipped over the table with the motion of Zhi Yue's movement. Xue Ying was thrown over towards the exit of the tent as if he was hurled over like a ball.
Feng Yang who was holding his right shoulder, "HISSS!! Tsk! That hurt!"
"WOAH!!" screamed by the ball named Xue Ying.
"EH!!??" And a stunned Zhi Yue who witnessed this silly scene that he didn't expect to happen because of him. "Wuah~ I'm sorry!!!" said Zhi Yue.
This silly scene was witnessed by Bai Yuyan and Feng Wu who arrived at the exact time Zhi Yue had made his move. They were even welcomed by a flying Xue Ying towards them. These two heartless students avoided Xue Ying and were flung outside the tent due to an unknown force.
Bai Yuyan raised one of his eyebrows and questioned his fiance who now has a dislocated right shoulder.
"What are you guys playing at?" asked Bai Yuyan while helping Feng Yang reconnect his shoulder bone.
Click! click!
"Urgh~ that hurts a bit. Why are you here, A'Yu?" asked Feng Yang to his lover.
Bai Yuyan hit his back and said, "It's because I heard you are drinking in the middle of the night that I have to stop you. Didn't you say we are attacking the zergs tomorrow?! Why the hell are you drinking?!"
"S-Sorry~" Feng Yang mumbled as he knew that they were caught drinking by his future wife.
"By the way, is that Brother Xue who flew just now? What happened?" asked Bai Yuyan as he recognized the human ball which got thrown out of the tent.
Xue Ying returned on time to stop his cousin from telling others their embarrassing moment from a few minutes ago.
"It was nothing! I and your fiance were just playing around. Hiss!" said Xue Ying as he felt his back aching from his fall.
Suddenly Zhi Yue ran over towards the silent Feng Wu and said, "Wua~ it wasn't on purpose! I really didn't do it. It was an accident! Save me, A'Wu~"
"Yue? Why are you here? Where's the lord?" asked Feng Wu as he frowned a bit.
