20demayo Chapter 122 A Good Name
Chapter 122 A Good Name
"Oh right, I let Guangming fly out of the training camp on his own to find the captain and the others..." Ling Yue then remembered the task he had assigned to Guangming.
After all, Guangming, being a 'magical artifact' with a decent and strong intelligence, and capable of free movement, had many uses. He first sent Guangming back to the Peace Agency to eat with Chen Muyi and the others, not for any other reason than that he simply couldn't afford to feed this good-for-nothing anymore, though there were other motives as well...
Remembering that Guangming wasn't by his side, Ling Yue casually placed the Star Blade and cloak in his hand into the Five Elements Lock space, but kept the emblem engraved with his name on his chest. (This sentence should be underlined; it will be on the test later.)
"I won't list the Star Blade, cloak, and emblem here, as I believe everyone has already learned about them in class. Now, I officially announce that the oath-taking ceremony begins!"
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew by, causing the newly replaced red national flag of the instructors, which had been standing tall in the sky, to flutter loudly.
The entire room was solemn. Even Ning Bing was moved by the scene and stood next to Ling Yue, awkwardly imitating him.
However, upon hearing Yuan Gang leading the chant, which was based on the inscription on the Night Watch emblem, Ling Yue's initial enthusiasm suddenly waned.
"I am Frozen!"
"Swear an oath under the red flag of Daxia!"
"..."
"Draw your sword across the abyss!"
"..."
Unlike Ling Yue, Ning Bing, who was standing next to him, was so excited by what he had just done that she wished she could kill a few Flame Vein Earth Dragons to add to the excitement.
stare!
After the oath-taking ceremony, the instructors left, leaving behind the new recruits who were still full of enthusiasm.
"Master, why are you looking at me like that?" Ningbing tilted her head, her mature figure accompanied by a lively, girlish voice.
Ling Yue suddenly felt a pang of emotion. Sometimes it's good to be a little foolish. Just say whatever comes to mind. He didn't want to think about Ning Bing, who was completely clueless, nor did he want them to have such a strong determination to sacrifice their lives for others. In the end, he was just a powerful but selfish person.
"Master?" Ningbing is getting more and more used to calling him master. Seeing Ling Yue in a daze, she hugged Ling Yue's big hand with her two soft little hands.
Ling Yue snapped out of his daze, chuckled, and shook his head. "It's nothing, I was just lost in thought."
"Even someone as strong as Master can be momentarily stunned?" Ningbing tilted her head again, asking with some confusion.
Ling Yue's voice gradually softened, his eyes fixed on Ning Bing's bewildered red vertical pupils, as he earnestly explained:
"No matter how strong you are, there will be times when you are stunned. You will understand as you encounter more things in the future."
“Oh…” Ningbing listened thoughtfully and nodded slowly.
Glug glug——~
Suddenly, a strange sound reached Ling Yue's ears, and Ling Yue looked down at the source of the sound.
"Master, I'm hungry..." Ningbing's pretty face flushed slightly. She was about to eat before Ling Yue and Yiyu came last night, but as soon as Yiyu and Ling Yue arrived, she forgot about eating and buried herself in the rocks. She hasn't eaten for two meals since last night.
Ningbing calculated carefully. As a Fiery Dragon that usually sleeps, she doesn't feel hungry while sleeping. But once she wakes up, she eats lava just like she would eat three meals a day, and she has to eat a lot of lava at a time.
Ling Yue suddenly chuckled, affectionately stroking Ning Bing's red hair, "Master will take you out to eat later."
"Okay!" Ningbing smiled broadly upon hearing Ling Yue's promise and responded with satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Lin Qiye walked over to Baili Pangpang, Cao Yuan, and Shen Qingzhu with a strange expression.
"Qi Ye, didn't you go to call Brother Yue and the others? They're here?" Cao Yuan asked, noticing Lin Qi Ye's strange expression.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye suddenly looked back, confirming that Ling Yue and the red-haired woman were still chatting. He then led the three of them to form a small circle and cautiously said:
"Shh! What I'm about to say is a big scoop! Listen carefully, I'll only say it once!" Lin Qiye's tone was extremely serious.
"it is good!"
"Ah."
"Speak," Shen Qingzhu and the others realized the importance of the matter and immediately pricked up their ears.
"Let me tell you, Brother Yue's playing too many tricks! That red-haired woman, her name is actually—"
Before Lin Qiye could finish speaking, a large hand suddenly pressed down on his shoulder.
Then a voice that sent chills down Lin Qiye's spine came from behind him: "Qiye, what are you talking about?"
Lin Qiye:!!!
"No! It's nothing, we were just talking about where to get together again sometime." Lin Qiye was so frightened by Ling Yue's voice that he broke out in a cold sweat, but his brain didn't shut down, and he still managed to come up with a reasonable explanation.
"Well, let me introduce you. Her name is Ningbing, and she's the Flame Vein Earth Dragon from yesterday's underground." Ling Yue didn't hide anything and introduced her to everyone.
Since we'd find out about this sooner or later anyway, it's better to tell us in advance to save ourselves some trouble.
Ningbing had already recognized the four people from the air; they were the same group that had come with Ling Yue yesterday, as well as that Instructor Hong on the stage. Of course, she had never seen Cao Yuan before, and Cao Yuan didn't look like a good person.
"Hello everyone." Ningbing waved to everyone, mimicking what Ling Yue had taught her.
Her knowledge of the others was limited to having met them once, and her impression of them was that they were of similar strength to her, and could only hide behind their masters. But for some reason, she felt a chill from Lin Qiye yesterday, and she didn't know if it was just her imagination.
Ling Yue hasn't explained the power levels to Ning Bing yet, which has led to Ning Bing not having a clear understanding of her own strength. However, being always 'clever', she divides her strength into three levels.
The first level is a weak level that can only hide behind its master and needs the master's protection.
The second level is a powerful level that the master can defeat, but finds somewhat difficult.
The third level is the unknown level, an extremely powerful level that even the master might not be able to defeat. Of course, this is just something Ningbing imagines in her mind.
"What?! That fiery earth dragon from the ground?!" Baili Pangpang exclaimed in shock, looking at Ningbing in disbelief.
"The Five Elements Lock, I see!" Lin Qiye suddenly realized. He carefully observed Ning Bing and discovered that not only was she wearing Ling Yue's clothes, but most importantly, she was also wearing the Five Elements Lock on her left wrist. However, the Five Elements Lock was not as vivid as Ling Yue's, and the details and energy were far less than Ling Yue's.
Although Cao Yuan didn't know what the Fiery Vein Earth Dragon was that day, upon hearing it and then the woman's name, he whispered, "Didn't you notice her name?"
Shen Qingzhu's lips twitched slightly. "I noticed, this is very 'Ling Yue'."
Lin Qiye tried his best to appear as if he had expected this: "If Brother Yue's golden gourd can be called 'Light,' then why can't the Flame Vein Earth Dragon be called 'Ice Condensation'?"
Baili Pangpang nodded in agreement and said, "Although I expected it, I still felt a wave of dizziness when I heard the name that Brother Yue chose."
Ningbing had already let it go. Although the name her master had chosen wasn't very good, he must have meant well for her. He would never harm her!
Ningbing immediately retorted to everyone, "The name Master chose is excellent! I think it's very good!"
