Sternritter Calendar

Lan Xueruo realized what was going on and had an embarrassed expression on her face before she pushed herself away from Jean, Jean looked at her and lightly chuckled, her face was completely red.

Lan Xueruo: Y-You… You k-kissed me…

Jean: Aw, c'mon, at least it wasn't in the lips.

When Jean said that, Lan Xueruo unconsciously imagined it and her face turned even more red, like a tomato, and ran away from the room, leaving a laughing Jean.

Jean: Heh… Alright, now let's go out.

Jasmine: You will finally confront Feng Baiyi?

Jean: Yeah. But first, I will check things at home.

Then Jean walked away, and noticed just now that there was Lan Xueruo's smell over his new clothes, making him smile.

And when he reached home, there was someone unexpected…

Jean: Instructor Qin.

Qin Wuyou: Oh, Jean. Finally you are here. There are some things that I need to give to you.

Jean: Hm? What is it?

Qin Wuyou took out two letters, and Jean remembered about the warning about the princes.

Qin Wuyou: These are two invitation letters. One of them is from Crown Prince Cang Lin, inviting you to his Crown Prince Palace in ten days time at noon, to participate in his thirty third birthday banquet.

The other invitation letter is from Third Prince Cang Shuo, inviting you to join his Beast Battle Convention that he personally manages. The time…. is also in ten days at noon.

Jean checked the letters, both of them were almost identical:

At first, they spoke highly about him, praising him as the dazzling star of the young generation and stated their admiration for him, then they wrote invites for him to two different places at the same time.

Qin Wuyou: I believe it was also within your expectations to receive invitations letters like these. Every disciple that was able to become a Inner Palace disciple would receive invitations to join the camp of both the crown prince and the third prince.

What's more, with the fight against Murong Yi, your reputation had increased so much that it's practically above every one of the Inner Palace disciples. For these two invitation letters to come to fast, it was within my expectations. What do you plan to do?

Jean: What does Instructor Qin think I should do?

Qin Wuyou: It is beyond my capability to help you choose. You are weak and have no background; you can not afford to offend either of the two. Originally, the best choice for you to make was to accept both of their invitations, give an ambiguous and tactful attitude to their offers while refusing neither yet not accepting either.

However, I don't know if it's purposely done or by coincidence, the time for these two invitations are completely identical. If you were to accept, you can only accept a single invitation.

However, regardless of whichever invitation you accepted, you would have clearly showed your position and, at the same time, thoroughly offend the party that you didn't accept.

And if you were to go to neither, it could be interpreted as looking down on both parties. If it was me in that situation, I have absolutely no clue as to what to do.

Jean: Then I will just refuse both, I really don't care about their faces, besides, at the rate at which I am going, in less than 10 years no one in the Blue Wind Empire will be able to threaten me.

Qin Wuyou: Hooh? How are you so sure?

Jean: I just know it. Instructor Qin, I will go outside for a small tour now, I bid you goodbye.

Qin Wuyou: Bye, Jean. And be careful.

Jean: Yeah, I will.

Then Jean walked away from the Blue Wind Profound Palace, if he needed to join a royalty, then he will choose Lan Xueruo, if she really want him… He will talk later about her identity with her, now he had a job to do.

[Later]

Jean was walking in a small crowd, in the late night, there weren't many pedestrians, so he was able to find Feng Baiyi conveniently following him with other people, he turned left, left, right, left, right, right… And he reached a open field, he turned around and said lightly.

Jean: Come out.

After he said that, his immediate surroundings were dead silent. Only after a long while did he hear a cold snort behind him. Accompanying it, were the clear sounds of footsteps.

Jean turned and saw a youth dressed entirely in black. He did not have a tall figure, and looked to be around the age of 20. His eyes were hazy, and the way he was looking at Jean was somber, as if he was looking at a corpse.

Jean: There's still one more of you, isn't there? Reveal yourself as well... What, you don't even have the guts to reveal yourself here after tailing me for so long?

A crazed laughter resounded in the air, and right after the youth, someone slowly walked from behind a tree, it was Feng Baiyi.

Feng Baiyi: Jean, I was still having trouble earlier about finding a place to kill you without leaving any trace. I didn't expect you would actually find such a fine grave for yourself. Should I call you an idiot, or a fool?

Jean: Stop with the clapping of your p.u.s.s.y, Cuntboy.

Feng Baiyi's expression sank and laughed coldly.

Feng Baiyi: Death is at hand, yet you still dare to utter such shameless words. Well, so be it. There's no need to say anything more to a dead person anyway; Xuelang, kill him!

Jean raised an eyebrow at the name… If he isn't mistaking, Xuelang should be at the peak of the 10th True Profound Realm, and since he is an Inner Disciple, his Combat Prowess must be higher… Pfft, so what? With the right timing and weapons, he could kill an Earth Profound Cultivator with a grenade.

The moment Feng Baiyi gave the instruction, a thin sword covered entirely in red appeared in Xuelang's hand as his figure shot out explosively. His red blade sliced through the air, and thrusted towards Jean's throat.

But Jean's eyes turned azure, this is the first time he is using "Knowledge" to attack other people, then he pushed a palm strike forward, just like water in a river, it flowed normally towards his target while his other arm caught Xuelang's armed wrist, before his palm strike drived in his elbow.

*Crack*

Xuelang: AAHHHHHH!!!

In that single and vicious strike, Jean easily nullified Xuelang's sword art and crippled him. Without letting go of his wrist, he pulled up his crippled arm, raising Xuelang's body towards him, before he threw a brutal headbutt on his head.

The Profound Energy around Xuelang was broke already, so the headbutt sent his body down with a cracked skull while his crippled arm was ripped off.

Feng Baiyi: Wha… What!?

Feng Baiyi took two step back. Looking at the broken corpse on the ground, he lost his initial prideful sneer; it was replaced by an aghast expression.

Jean: Now it's your turn, Tranny.

Feng Baiyi: Jean, you think… you're capable of killing me!?

Although Feng Baiyi was still as arrogant as before, his face evidently paled, and his voice began to tremble. Xuelang's rank in the Heavenly Profound Ranking was nearly thirty ranks higher than his, but he was still annihilated by Jean with two blows. How could he not feel afraid?

Watching Jean approach him slowly, Feng Baiyi suddenly roared. He grabbed onto a green colored longspear with both hands from his spatial ring, and a raging windstorm swirled around the spear as he swept it towards Jean's neck.

Feng Baiyi: Blue Dragon Stirring Sea!

Jean just looked at the oncoming spear with an amused smile, "Knowledge" was still active, so he saw everything from spying on Feng Baiyi's thoughts.

Jean took the Overlord's Colossal Sword from the Sky Poison Pearl and threw it at him, the spear didn't even deviated the heavy sword, which pierced his stomach and impaled him against the ground.

Feng Baiyi coughed up blood and looked at the approaching smiling azure-eyed devil that is Jean. As death loomed close, he let out an extremely terrified roar.

Feng Baiyi: Uncle Fang, hurry and save me!

The moment Feng Baiyi howled, an old man's angry, ear-splitting roar suddenly came from the sky.

?: Junior! Don't you dare to kill my young master!

From the angry roar came a force with the weight of a mountain that pressed down upon Jean. The strength of this force was something Jean could not hope to block at his current state. If he had taken another step forward, he would have been injured by that force.

He quickly used Burning Heart to lessen the force, which worked, and then looked in front of him.

Standing in front of Feng Baiyi was an old man with a grey beard who was dressed in black. His appearance allowed Feng Baiyi, who escaped from death, to relax a bit, and with blood coming out from his mouth, he spoke.

Feng Baiyi: Uncle Fang… hurry and kill him... Kill him!

Jasmine: 3rd Earth Profound Realm. He's not someone you can go up against, yet.

The old man's angry eyes looked straight at Jean, and he said.

Uncle Fang: Junior, if you had let my young master go after severely injuring him, this old man would not have interfered. But your heart was actually so vicious that you wanted to deal the killing blow, so do not blame this old man for taking your life!

Jean: And the codger is here, still thinking he can do something before dying of old age, get out if you value your life.

Uncle Fang: Arrogant brat!

Then he shot against Jean, but the other party had a calm heart and a eerie smile.

Jean: If you want to escape from aging so much, you could just have asked me nicely…

Right at this moment, the old man surnamed Fang's eyes, which were filled with killing intent, suddenly widened, and abruptly forced himself to stop his frontal charge.

Within his line of vision, a hint of blue light appeared from the sky above, flew across him, and stabbed into the soft patch of grass between him and Jean.

This was a thin and short icicle, shaped as a dagger. But after landing on the ground, the icicle did not have any sign of melting; rather, it stayed stabbed diagonally into the ground as it released an ice-cold blue glow.

Jean: *Sigh* Little Fairy, you had a job, one… And you actually failed.

The next moment, an extremely light sound faintly rang, as if a thin metal needle had dropped onto the floor. And the moment that faint sound rang, the old man surnamed Fang's body strangely stopped on the spot.

A small icy blue glow slowly spread from the center of his body, quickly enveloping his body from his four limbs, head, hair, then to his clothes. In only a span of two breaths' time, his entire body had been enveloped by an icy blue glow, and transformed into an unmovable ice sculpture, before it was reduced in icy blue dust.

Jean: Alright.

Then he walked towards his Overlord's Colossal Sword and stomped Feng Baiyi's face, crushing his skull, before retrieving his heavy sword. Then, he heard a voice in his ear.

Little Fairy: Remember, I only promised to "Protect" you for three months, and 1 already passed, I only did as you wanted because I wanted to apologize for almost killing you, there isn't a second time.

Jean: 'Oh, don't worry, I will fully pay back for killing me one day…' Ok...
