Chapter 98: Returning to the Country_1
"Please, rise quickly!" Qin Wudao hurriedly helped Lv Bu to his feet. He was deeply satisfied with Lv Bu’s terrifying combat power. The ability to force a peer martial artist to detonate their weapon and emerge unscathed was rare among those of the same realm.
"Thank you, my lord!" Lv Bu stood up, his back straight and tall.
"Crown Prince, who is this robust man?" the Emperor of Qin asked as he, Bai Qi, and the others flew over from a distance, his voice full of curiosity. He could tell that this Saint who had suddenly appeared was showing profound respect to Qin Wudao, indicative of a master-servant relationship. Even he was astonished by this thought. That was a Saint, after all, a peak expert of the Nine Great Domains, standing above all beings! How could such a person respect Qin Wudao so much?
When asked by the Emperor of Qin, Qin Wudao hesitated, unsure how to respond. Should he say it was a system reward? That definitely wouldn’t work!
"Father, his name is Lv Bu. He’s a subordinate of my master!" Qin Wudao said with a grin, inventing a fictitious master. Only this could explain Lv Bu’s origin.
"Since when did you have a master?" The Emperor of Qin was a little puzzled. He knew well that Qin Wudao had not left the Qin Empire since childhood, so how could this master have appeared out of nowhere?
"Father, my master is an enlightened expert; it’s best not to inquire further!" Qin Wudao continued, trying to preempt any more questions from the Emperor of Qin.
The Emperor of Qin gave Qin Wudao a puzzled glance. The boy was quite slippery, so he didn’t press any further. Come to think of it, where did Qin Wudao’s skills and powerful weapons come from if no one taught him? They surely didn’t fall from the sky, right?
"Alright then, follow your master and learn well!" the Emperor of Qin advised. He then turned his head to look at the Ghost Tomb ruins, a faint smile on his face, and commanded loudly, "Issue the order: return to the Imperial Capital!"
