The Luo Family was considered one of the top families in the Northern Country. The Luo Family's Four Seas Mercenary group was well known throughout the Karte Continent for its strength and power. Due to this, the Luo Family was very well respected.
But a month ago, the leader of the Four Seas Mercenary group (his uncle) had met Hong Lian from Guang Yao Hall. Hong Lian had challenged his uncle to a fight and his uncle had lost. Although his uncle managed to survive the fight, he was severely injured.
When the people from the Four Seas Mercenary group heard that their leader was injured, a part of the mercenary group became restless and tried to plot a rebellion. He was one of the few remaining direct descendants of the Luo Family so Uncle Luo Jue wanted to protect him. So his uncle made Boss Yuan take him and leave.
But Boss Yuan wasn't a good person. Even though he does have some goodwill towards the Luo Family, he was a shameless and vulgar person. Whenever he met a smaller mercenary group or team, he would always think of a way to rob them. When he robbed those people, he would always use the name of the Four Seas Mercenary group to intimidate them. He really is shameless!
"I see, so you were driven out by a godly beast," a clear but ice-cold voice rang out behind them. The icy voice contained a hint of ridicule directed towards him.
"Who's there?" Luo Chen immediately turned around to see who it was. But he was only able to catch a sight of a petite dark shadow flashing by him from the rear side of the tent. He couldn't clearly see who it was before the shadow had already disappeared.
"Young master Luo Chen, did something happen?" One of the mercenaries who was patrolling nearby had heard his voice and ran over to him.
"No, it's nothing." Luo Chen was also uncertain. Was the shadow from before a figment of his imagination? That shadow had moved so quickly, it was gone in a flash.
"Young master Luo Chen must be tired. It's best if you return to the camp and rest. Tonight, Boss Yuan wants us to rob the students that we had encountered earlier!" The mercenary sounded eager and excited to rob the students.
Luo Chen frowned in disgust. He was only a guest in this small mercenary group, so it wasn't his place to speak too much or criticize their actions.
The group of people from Ling Yang College won't easy to deal with. For the academy to dare bring such a large group of students out, they must have many strong teachers protecting them. Boss Yuan won't be able to take advantage of them. They will hit a wall if they try to rob the student from Ling Yang College.
However, once they offended the people from Nan Yi Country, there will be a lot of trouble for the Four Seas Mercenary group.
Huang Beiyue had easily bypassed the patrolling mercenary guards. It was like a children's play for her to bypass their ancient style of patrolling around the area.
After she leisurely walked around the small river for some time, Huang Beiyue returned to the camp.
Each tent had about 10 people resting inside it. However, Princess Yingye's treatment was different. She is a princess with an honorable status so she naturally can't be crowded into a tent with 9 other people to prevent any accidents.
Because Princess Yingye had a good relationship with Princess Beiyue, she had asked Huang Beiyue to live with her.
Huang Beiyue opened the door of the tent and walked in. Inside the tent, she saw Feng Lianyi dressed in snow-white clothes, chatting with the Princess Yingye as he slowly drank his tea.
"Beiyue, you're back!" Princess Yingye looked at her and smiled, "Didn't you say you were going out for a walk? Why did you take so long?"
Feng Lianyi's pair of purple eyes was also staring at her.
Huang Beiyue calmly replied, "I walked along the river for a while. But I unconsciously walked too far. So, it took me a while to return."
Feng Lianyi asked with a smile, "There are mercenaries from the Four Seas Mercenary group patrolling on the opposite side of the river. Isn't Princess Beiyue afraid they might attack you since you're alone?"
On the surface, it seemed that he had said those words out of concern. However, he was secretly actually taunting her because he knew that she had lied to Princess Yingye.
