<strong>Chapter 15 – Advancing to the Finals (IV)</strong>


    —————————————————————————————-


    Ye Yin Zhu stared nkly. “What are you saying? Austin is Rnde’s eldest brother? And you think that he wants to seek me out for revenge? The Freshman Competition is a fairpetition.”


    Sura shook his head and said, “I’m not sure, but it’s a possibility. Fortunately our college’s status is high. Austin probably won’t dare to act too impudent. It seems that I have to exin Rnde’s background to you. In the Mn Empire, there are three major ns, each with their own influential position. Rnde belongs to the Violet n, one of the major ns. The n head, Maldini, is one of the two generalissimos of the Mn Empirical Military and is also one of the two Violet Star Dragon Cavalry Commanders. Maldini also has a younger brother named Materazzi, the vice-president of the Mn Magic Guild. It’s been announced that he has recently reached the Violet Rank.”


    Ye Yin Zhu wrinkled his brows. He really didn’t expect that Rnde unexpectedly had such a strong n backing her. His facial expression, however, quickly became tranquil again.


    “Do know what a Violet Star Dragon Cavalry Commander represents? Apart from the Blue Dias Seven Pagoda, it’s the most powerful existence on the continent. Only a Violet Rank Great War Master, with power equivalent to a rank 9 Gigantic Dragon, can be the Violet Star Dragon Cavalry Commander. Materazzi’s entire life is dedicated towards magical research. Furthermore, he hasn’t married, so naturally he won’t have descendants. And Maldini’s only son died while fighting the beastmen, leaving behind four children.


    “The youngest is Rnde, who also has three older brothers. The oldest is Austin, and he is also the least gifted person within the past three generations of the Violet n. Rnde’s second eldest brother is Okafur, the youngest Gold Star Dragon Cavalry Commander on the continent. He possesses a mature rank 8 earth-attribute Gigantic Dragon. Her third eldest brother, Oliveira, also attends the Mn Institution for Magic and Martial Arts as a fifth-year student. He is known within the Martial Arts Department as the first person to have a water-attribute growth-type Gigantic Dragon. At present, Oliveira has already advanced to rank 7. Reportedly, when he graduatester, he will directly be a Silver Star Dragon Cavalry Commander. In addition, he has the opportunity to spar with the youngest Gold Star Dragon Cavalry Commander on the continent.


    “As the youngest, Rnde is no doubt the most pampered. Unlike her three older brothers, however, she chose to pursue the path of magic. Since Materazzi doesn’t have a child, he adores this grandniece of his the most, to the point where at Rnde’s request, he became the chief mage of the Violet Mercenary Company that the four siblings established. You must understand that it is very degrading for a noble Violet Rank mage to join a mercenarypany. On the entire continent, it is an extremely rare urrence. Your offenses against Rnde aren’t light; in the future, you will suffer.”


    After listening to Sura, Ye Yin Zhu’s eyes disyed a thoughtful light as he recalled that scene at the Mercenary Guild. Clearly, that Violet Rank Great Magister should be Rnde’s granduncle, Materazzi. Moreover, that other young warrior should be either her second or third eldest brother.


    Sura saw that Ye Yin Zhu was pondering in silence, and assumed Yin Zhu was worrying about his situation. Sura forced a smile and said, “Although you haven’t even attended the college for more than a few days, you offended more than just the Violet n. That Dark Magic division general, the freshman Yue Ming, is a member of the Yue Hui n, one of the three major ns. Furthermore, her position in the Yue Hui n is about the same as Rnde’s in the Violet n. Yue Ming’s grandfather, Yue Hui, is a symbol of the n’s rise in status. As president of the Mn Magic Guild and a Violet Rank Level 5 Dark Magic Great Magister, he is reportedly the strongest mage aside from those in the Blue Dias Seven Pagoda. He is much more frightening than Materazzi. Our college’s president Ferguson, who is a Violet Rank Level 4 Spiritual Great Magister, is equally famous. The magic chancellor of the empire, he is in charge of all the mages of the entire Mn Empire.”


    Lifting his head, Ye Yin Zhu’s gaze was still clear. Smiling indifferently, he inquired, “Is that all? Let’s go.”


    “Eh? You aren’t worried about your situation?” Sura reaction was nothing like Ye Yin Zhu’s as he gave a startled response.


    Ye Yin Zhu smiled lightly and remarked, “Don’t you want to go to work? Unless we hurry, we’ll bete.”


    “Apparently, I’m preaching to deaf ears. Are you really not even slightly worried?” Sura felt that he had been overpowered by Ye Yin Zhu. Ye Yin Zhu seemed to not have paid attention to any of his words just a moment ago. He couldn’t bear, however, not impressing upon Ye Yin Zhu what he would face in this kind of situation. If it were him, he wouldn’t be able to achieve this kind of calmposure that Ye Yin Zhu had.


    Ye Yin Zhu walked beside Sura and calmly said, “What is there to be worried about? How are these adult matters that you mentioned rted to me? They both are unlikely to try and find me, a small, ordinary Mn Institution for Magic and Martial Arts student, just because their granddaughter was defeated in a fair match.” He had grown up living with people who had Violet Ranked strength. His two grandfathers both had this kind of strength. On top of that, cultivating Bamboo Dou Qi made him naturally gentle, yet tenacious and unyielding.


    The two of them walked through Mn City for an hour with Sura guiding Ye Yin Zhu to their destination. It was an elegantly designed, small three-story building. In the bustling Mn City, it wasn’t very eye-catching at all. Not only was its position not located along the main road, it was instead ced on a branch street where the surrounding environment appeared somewhat lonely.


    This small, three-story building was very peculiar. Its area wasn’t extremelyrge, more or less on par with the Divine Music division’s school building. In addition to its octagonal eaves with dark-green zed roof tiles, the small building was entirely painted in rxed colors, which made people feel cozy. It was encircled by greenery filled with tall trees. Even if the weather was already somewhat cold, the trees here still grew exceptionally lush. The trees and buildingplimented one another, causing this small, three-story building to brim with an air of nature.


    The most bizarre feature, however, was the humongous tree unexpectedly growing in the middle of the small building. It seemed that this small, three-story building had actually been established around this humongous tree, with the tree’s canopypletely covered the top of the three-story building. Ayer of small, light blue blossoms emitted a faint fragrance simr to musk deer and orchids. Simple and elegant, it was easy to be immersed in this atmosphere. Perhaps because he’d came from the Deste Jade Sea, Ye Yin Zhu couldn’t help having an amiable feeling as he looked at the small building.


    “How is it? Pretty good, right? After I examined the selections carefully, I chose toe here to work. The environment is good, plus the pay isn’t bad. This is a teahouse where waiters take in roughly ten silver coins every day. There is also tip. If you do well, wages can also increase. Come on, let’s enter.” As he spoke, Sura dragged Ye Yin Zhu by his sleeve over to the teahouse.


    Finally standing in front of it, Ye Yin Zhu raised his head to examine the building. He looked at the que above the teahouse which had the three words, “Floating Orchid Pavilion.” This name seemed to be slightly familiar! He didn’t have a lot of time to think as he was already dragged into the teahouse by Sura.


    “I’m sorry, sirs, but we haven’t begun business yet.” A server that appeared approximately 20 years old stopped the two of them. The blue clothing seemed to be work clothes. Although the server’s appearance was ordinary, he had a quiet and contented temperament that caused him to seem very likable, bringing about favorable impressions from him.


    “We didn’te to drink tea. Yesterday, I met you here, and it seemed like you were hiring. We came to be interviewed,” Sura exined hurriedly.


    The server smiled faintly and said, “I’m sorry, but you came toote. The hiring announcement was only released yesterday, but by the afternoon, there were more than 300 job applicants. We have already hired suitable candidates.”
