Chapter 5

"Master, Master.
"Quickly knocking on the door awakened Bingfeng, who was still in his sleep."Dong Dong, Young Master..."Xiao Yatou hurriedly knocked on the door and called out to Bingfeng.
Bingfeng came down from the roof and squatted down to wash his face when he saw the basin of water placed next to Xiao Yatou.
Xiao Yatou heard the sound of water and saw Bingfeng standing nearby, and immediately relaxed."So Young Master had woken up a long time ago.""Mhm, let's get breakfast.
I'm hungry." Bingfeng put down the towel in his hand and walked towards the pavilion.
Not long later, Xiao Yatou filled the stone table with breakfast and stood by the edge of the evening after helping Bingfeng prepare everything.Bingfeng picked up a piece of green sand cake and placed it in his mouth.
"Sit down and eat with me.
Come with me when you're done eating."Xiao Yatou panicked, "I don't dare.""Sit down.
You won't listen to my words anymore."Bingfeng had already accepted this cute Xiao Yatou.
After all, she had done so much for him, and Xiao Yatou liked her a lot.
Sometimes, he would joke around with her.
It could be said that she was the closest person to him besides Shangguan Waner.After all, the little girl was still a little girl.
She was extremely curious about the many new things she had received, and was extremely excited to see some outsiders."Young Master, look, it's an elf!
I've only heard Big Brother Fei talk about it before." Big Brother Fei was just a relatively young guard of the Yumu Clan.
As a servant who had grown up in the Yumu Clan, there was a limit to what she knew."Oh, what race is this?
It looks so ugly.""Wow, the city guards are so imposing."Xiao Yatou couldn't help but look around in excitement.
He even tugged at Bingfeng's sleeves and bounced about.
Bingfeng thought that she was just a child, and did his best to let her do her best.
Bingfeng was also curious about these wonderful things, but he couldn't reveal them just like Xiao Yatou did.
He secretly examined his surroundings.
Since there were so many worlds here, he had to take a good look around.In the past, the ice maple was almost 2 p.
m.
1 p.
m, so this time, they had to take a good stroll around this bustling city.
Not long after the two of them walked, a magnificent building appeared in front of them, and there were people walking in and out of the main gate.
Swordsmen and magicians came and went in groups of people.
In front of the door, there was a huge boulder with the words 'Mercenary Union' written on it.Bingfeng specifically knew about this organization.
Although the mercenary union was widely scattered in the Eastern Lands, it was only limited to the Eastern Lands.
There were no other branches in the continent.
Moreover, although there were many mercenary groups, they were basically free organizations and only had an employment relationship with the guild.
Except for the fact that their headquarters was a bit mysterious, Bingfeng didn't see any outstanding strength in the mercenary union.As for the other Guild in the Eastern Lands, the Apothecary Guild was different.
Although they were an Apothecary organization, they had many subordinates under them, and their strength could be said to be number one in the Eastern Lands.Furthermore, there were also some groups that seemed to be stronger than the Mercenary Union on the surface.
However, the Mercenary Union had stood strong for thousands of years.
How could there be no reason?The members of the Mercenary Union were generally divided into two types: One was to join or establish a mercenary regiment, and the other was in a personal form.
The mercenary regiment was similar to a fixed position, while the individual members were relatively free.
They could form a team when they were at zero, and they could also receive individual missions in exchange for rewards.
The mercenaries were usually divided into seven levels, one star was the starting point, and seven stars were the highest level.The same applied to the mercenary regiments.
They could obtain levels through some special missions issued by the Mercenary Union, and they could also be used as a reference for their strength.
Many legends had appeared in the mercenary world, such as the king of mercenaries, Mo Changfeng, the Seven Stars Mercenary Regiment, the Lions and Blazes Mercenary Regiment.Seeing this place filled with passion and challenges, Bingfeng's bloodlust was stimulated once again."Let's go in and take a look." Bingfeng excitedly pulled Lan Yu's hand and walked towards the door.?Is this little girl happy to see her young master so excited?"Yali, another two dozen warriors." Just as they entered the door, a rough voice came from the left corner.
Bingfeng glanced at a middle-aged man with a full face, who was eating peanuts while chatting with his companions."They're here, they're here." A green haired woman about twenty years old carried two dozen bottles of wine over.The entire hall was filled with the sounds of laughter, curses, and roars of curses, as well as massive swords scattered everywhere.
Bingfeng looked at the scene before him, as if he had returned to the scene of everyone eating mutton skewers on the streets, drinking and boasting naked.There were two ugly bull-headed men and a few handsome elves in the hall.
Xiao Yatou clearly didn't like the atmosphere around him, but when he saw Bingfeng's excited expression, he restrained himself and didn't say anything.
He simply pulled Bingfeng's sleeves tightly.Bingfeng originally wanted to drink a few cups here, but when he saw the words "Registration of Mercenaries" written on the door, he suddenly became interested and pulled the little girl towards the door."Hello, may I help you with anything?" As soon as they entered the room, a black-haired beauty in her twenties greeted them with a sweet smile."I want to register mercenaries.
Do you have any requirements?""You only need to pay one gold coin and fill in a form to receive a 1-star badge."After quickly filling up the form and handing in a gold coin, the black-haired beauty took out a white badge and a small booklet and handed it to Bingfeng."This is your meeting chapter and mercenary manual.
There are detailed explanations on any matters that you don't understand and need to pay attention to.
There are also some signs of dangerous locations, and I hope it will help you with your mission.""Is there anything else?" Even though Bingfeng didn't treat Leng Bingbing as he did before, he wouldn't take the initiative to strike up a conversation."Nope, you're already a member of the Mercenary Union.
There will be your records in the Mercenary Union, but you will not be guaranteed by the Mercenary Union," the black-haired girl replied with a smile on her face."Oh, thank you for your reminder."Back in the main hall, Bingfeng decided to sit down and have a drink.
He wanted to listen to the people who had spent their days on the blade.
However, the little girl didn't like the atmosphere here.
She held onto Bingfeng's sleeves and looked around with her large eyes, as if she were afraid that some rough and rough man would come looking for trouble."Master, let's leave this place.
I...
I'm a little worried."Bingfeng noticed Xiao Yatou's tightly furrowed brows and chuckled softly, "Alright, let's just go home.
I'll take on a few missions in two days."Bingfeng brought the worried little girl back home.
After leaving the mercenary union, the little girl regained her liveliness and cuteness.
She always wanted to know more about new things.
Bingfeng had never treated her as his servant.
Seeing how naive she was, he tried his best to buy the things he liked for her.
When he returned to Yumu Manor, he and the little girl had already brought a lot of things to him."Wow, as expected of the richest man in the Eastern Lands, even the guards are so imposing.""This house is so beautiful.
If I could stay here for some time, that would be great.""Look, this tea set is made of blue jade."Bingfeng had just entered the room with a face full of excitement when he heard such a commotion.
He immediately frowned.
Seeing that there were seven or eight young men and women in the living room, they all looked around.
Two cute girls were chatting around a boy around fifteen or sixteen years old.
When the young man saw the reaction of his companions, he seemed to be very satisfied.
The corners of his lips curled up into a proud smile.Yumu Muqingcheng saw Bingfeng walking towards him.
He put down the teacup in his hand and greeted him arrogantly, "It's Third Brother.
He went shopping with his maids?
There are so many servants in the manor, so Third Brother doesn't have to buy it himself.
If he were to lose it again, how anxious would it be to call Aunty?""..."Upon hearing this, the two girls beside him chuckled a few times.
Bingfeng noticed Yu Muqingcheng's arrogant demeanor, and recalled how Yumu Qingfeng had been constantly being called back and forth by him.
His face immediately darkened to the extreme, and he ignored him as he continued to walk in.Yumu Qingcheng was clearly surprised to see Bingfeng ignore him.
A brown-haired girl nudged Yumu Qingcheng.
"Hey, this is your trashy Third Brother?"Yumu Muqingcheng curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Yeah, I guessed correctly that he didn't make much progress in the past six months.
He's still a Level Two Swordsman.""Zheng'er is back." Someone walked out from behind the screen.
When he heard the voice, he immediately knew that it was Shangguan Waner, Bingfeng's mother.
"Feng Er is back as well.
Why is it so early today?"Bingfeng was about to say that he had joined the Mercenary Union when a lazy voice interrupted him."Second Aunt, my friends and I have been working hard all day.
Can you prepare some food for us first and a few rooms for my friend to rest?""Okay, I'll prepare it right away.
Wait a minute.""Jiner, hurry up and prepare the food.
Feng Er must be hungry, right?
I'll get someone to send him to your room."Shangguan Waner didn't pay much attention to Mu Qingcheng's tone, but Bingfeng wasn't happy.
Even though he hadn't fully accepted his mother, it wasn't that he couldn't disrespect everyone.
It was fine if he didn't respect him, but he couldn't tolerate people who didn't respect him."Who do you think you are?
You deserve to shout here.
"Bingfeng sat down and ignored Qi Qi's glare.
Then, he turned to Xiao Yatou and said softly, "You should head back first.
Send the food to my courtyard later."The little girl nodded and took her things with her to the backyard.
Yumu Muqingcheng's classmates looked at him with a different gaze.
Shangguan Waner was also surprised, but then he became unusually happy.
His son knew how to protect himself.
This had never happened before.
It seemed like Feng Er had really changed a lot recently.
He didn't know what he had done at the Green Wind Academy.At the same time, she was a little worried.
Her son did not have any skills, so he often suffered losses amongst his family's brothers.
In the past, even the children of the family who were not direct descendants did not care about him at all.Faced with so many people being humiliated by a 'trash', Yumu Qingcheng's face instantly turned ashen.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and said hatefully,"What did you say?
You're just a piece of trash in the family.
What right do you have to interfere in my affairs?
I'll give you face and call you Third Brother.
Don't be shameless."After hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er didn't feel happy, but as an elder, she couldn't be angry with her nephew, right?Bingfeng saw the angry Yumu Qingcheng and coldly snorted, "Hmph, let's talk about who's a good-for-nothing.
If you're a man, then come to the backyard." Then he walked towards the sword practice arena in the backyard.Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
A Level Two Swordsman challenged someone who was a Level Four Swordsman half a year ago.
If it wasn't a problem with his brain, then it was just a death wish.Shangguan Waner was even more anxious.
She knew that Yumu Qingfeng had never been fond of him.
She quickly stepped forward and grabbed Bingfeng's arm, "Feng Er, don't do anything stupid.
Mother is fine.
Cheng'er is still young.
Just let him go a little."Bingfeng looked at her and gently opened her hand.
He didn't have much confidence, but he couldn't protect his dignity.
From the start, he had failed."Qingcheng, this is what you call trash.
I don't think so.
You didn't lie to us, did you?" another red-armored girl asked as she looked at Bingfeng's back.Yumu Muqingcheng sneered contemptuously, "Hmph, watch how I deal with him later." With that, he also walked towards the backyard.
His classmates followed suit.When they arrived at the backyard, Bingfeng was dressed in a white robe with his right hand behind his back as he stood in the middle of the courtyard.
The three-foot-long Tang Sword was placed in front of him as he coldly stared at Yumu Qingcheng.
When everyone saw Tang Sword standing in front of Bingfeng, they immediately sneered in disdain.
It was obvious that Shangguan Waner didn't expect Bingfeng to choose such an embroidered weapon, so he didn't know what to do right now.
Right now, he only had a magic staff, so he couldn't lend it to him, right?"These are your weapons!" Yumu Muqingcheng obviously despised the three of them even more."Show me your weapon.
As your elder brother, I can give you three moves." Bingfeng remained unperturbed, as if he didn't consider this as a challenge."Since you're in such a hurry to make a fool of yourself, I'll fulfill your wish." Yumu Qingcheng didn't even put Bingfeng in his eyes.
He didn't know that the trash in his eyes had once defeated the fourth princess of a fifth-rank grand mage."Qingcheng, teach this arrogant fellow a lesson.
If a sixth-rank swordsman like you can't even defeat a second-rank swordsman, then you're a complete trash!" the red-armored girl shouted without any hesitation.
Shangguan Waner frowned and looked at her with dissatisfaction.Upon seeing Yumu Muqingcheng display his weapon Yumu Muqingcheng was the first to attack.
He wanted to teach this cousin of his, who didn't have any face, a lesson.
Although they weren't allowed to kill each other in the clan, based on his status in the clan, he could still stay there for a month.Yumu Qingcheng didn't hold back at all.
He slashed at Ice Maple with his Rock Splitting Slash.
This was a second level earth-type sword skill, and its individual attack power was very strong.
Shangguan Wan'er was shocked and immediately recited a magic technique to save people.When Bingfeng saw an earthen-yellow sword beam slashing towards him, he didn't take it head-on.
Instead, he slipped backwards.
Although Yumu Muqingcheng was surprised that Bingfeng had been able to dodge this attack, his reaction wasn't slow at all.
He raised his sword and swung it, sending a faint-yellow sword beam straight for Bingfeng.
At this moment, Bingfeng's focus was on retreating.
It wasn't easy to dodge, so he had no choice but to reach the ground.Then, a massive sword slashed down from above, and Bingfeng rolled to the right, barely dodging the sword's attack.
Then, his left hand propped up on the ground, his right hand swung the sword, and then he stood up.
He took a small step back and said, "Three moves have already passed.
It's my turn.""..."When Yumu Qingcheng saw that he hadn't been able to defeat the ice maple with three moves, he was a little embarrassed.
He didn't even bother replying and used a Rock Stab to stab the ice maple.
This was an earth-type sword technique, and it was also a very basic earth-type move.
It could increase the power of the sword saint's attack with the help of its master.
When it came to Sword Sovereign's strength, the Thousand Rock Awl Slash was a terrifying skill.As soon as Yu Muqingcheng took out his sword, four stone spikes shot towards Bingfeng.
Bingfeng didn't panic.
Instead, he sprinted towards the rock thorns.
First, he used the Breaking Sword Technique to cut off two of them, and then he unleashed another Ice Shattering Saber with lightning speed.
Then, he turned to the side and shot another sword towards Yu Muqing.Seeing that his move had failed, Yumu Qingcheng also raised his sword to meet Ice Maple.
He raised his sword and swung it fiercely, bringing with it a light blue sword qi.
The ice maple swung his sword horizontally in an attempt to get rid of this fierce force.
However, he didn't expect that the slash force of Yumu Qingcheng's strike would be extremely powerful.
In the end, he was forced back several steps, and his right hand was also slightly numbed by the sword qi, leaving a gash on his chest.He secretly said that he had a lot of strength, and then he raised his knife to meet it.The more Shangguan Waner looked at Bingfeng, the more surprised he became.
His son clearly didn't know sword ki, but he hadn't lost after so many moves.
His nimble movement technique and his 'pure' sword technique surprised her even more.
Even though she sensed that Bingfeng's sword technique seemed to lack something, it didn't affect her appreciation for it.It was only now that she realized that her son had changed so much.
It seemed that she had paid less attention to him.Even though Yumu Qingcheng still had an obvious advantage over him, he couldn't defeat Bingfeng for the time being.
His strength was clearly greater than his, but every time he skillfully deflected Bingfeng's sword Qi, it caused Yumu Qingcheng to feel depressed.
Although Bingfeng had sustained many injuries, most of them had been scratched by sword Qi.
It wasn't a serious injury, and his left waist and shoulder had been injured.
Yumu Qingcheng was also shocked by Bingfeng's proficient sword technique.
If he knew sword Qi, he would have been defeated long ago.After a long battle, the surrounding spectators began to become impatient, and some radicals began to cheer."Yumu, what's wrong with you?
You haven't been able to deal with it for so long, so what right do you have to be a genius of the Earth class?""Qingcheng, do you want to be a trash?
I don't want to be with a trash!"Yumu Muqingcheng saw that his companions were laughing at him, and his sweetheart was also trying to provoke him.
He couldn't help but let out a loud roar."Ah!"With his full strength, he swung his sword at Bingfeng.
When Bingfeng saw how powerful Bingfeng was, he hurriedly used Sweeping Sword Technique to separate himself.
However, even though Bingfeng's strength was reduced by seven to eight points, Bingfeng was still forced back two steps.
Before Bingfeng could react, Yumu Muqingchengwu's giant sword slashed towards Bingfeng, and he shouted, "Desolation Slash!"This was Bingfeng's strongest attack, and also his most prideful one - a level three Elementary Sword Skill.
Bingfeng didn't know the might of the Great Desolate Slash, so he used a sword-shattering move to meet it.
As soon as he made contact with it, he felt like a giant rock was colliding with it, and then he flew out more than ten steps.
He spat out a mouthful of blood.When he was about to land, he stabilized himself and didn't let himself fall.Seeing Bingfeng being sent flying, Shangguan Waner was shocked, while Yumu Qingcheng's friend was unusually excited."Good job, Qingcheng.
You should have used this move a long time ago." The red-armored girl was especially excited.Yumu Qingcheng didn't take advantage of the situation.
He took two steps forward and looked at Bingfeng, who was still struggling, and said, "Although your transformation surprised me, it isn't enough to defeat me.""Do you think you've already won?
There's never been the word 'failure' in my dictionary.
" Although he was heavily injured, he refused to admit defeat.
From what he knew, there were only warriors who died in battle, not warriors who surrendered."Stubborn.""Stop!"Just as the two of them were about to make a move, a furious roar broke the atmosphere.
Everyone turned and saw Yumu Leiheng and Zhangwu Wuzhaochu walking in from outside."What are you two doing?
Go to the Punishment Hall and receive your punishment."When Shangguan Waner saw that his son had sustained serious injuries and was being punished by the clan, he couldn't help but say, "Forget it.
Both of them are injured, so I'll just reprimand them a little."Yumu Leiheng was also worried about his son.
But now that he was in charge of the entire family, he couldn't look for personal reasons."Hmph, the family hates internal strife the most.
The two of you are still fighting amongst yourselves.
Feng Er is your brother, and he's already an adult.
He should be punished severely." Then, he turned to look at Shangguan Wan'er and continued, "As an elder, you should also be punished if you don't stop him."Shangguan Waner knew that his husband was going to look into the bigger picture, but he was still furious.
He walked up to Bingfeng and supported him, "Feng Er, help you back to your room to rest.
We'll talk after you recover from your injuries."Bingfeng took off Shangguan Waner's hand and said, "Mother, I'm fine.
You should go back and rest earlier."With that said, he didn't even bother to look at Yumu Leiheng as he walked back to the Penal Hall with his Tang Sword.
Yumu Muqingcheng turned to his friend and said, "I'm sorry, everyone.
You can head back to the academy first.
I'll apologize to everyone another day." Then, he walked over to the red-armored girl and pulled her closer to him.
"Little Yan, I can't accompany you for the time being.
I'll give you anything you want when we arrive at the academy.""...""Hehe, Qingcheng, well done.
I'll wait for you at school."The Elder of the Penal Hall had asked Bingfeng to recuperate before accepting his punishment, but he had only asked him to reflect on Yumu Qingcheng's actions.
Bingfeng didn't care about any punishments, so he forced himself to endure his internal injuries and returned to his own courtyard.
Seeing the food that the little girl had prepared for him, he waved his hand wearily, "Eat for yourself.
I'm a little tired.
I'll go rest first.
If there's nothing else, don't disturb me.""..."After saying that, she closed herself in the room and fainted on the bed.
