253 What Right Do You Have to Make His Highness Follow You?
After resting for a while, the four families arranged their accommodations and scattered to the surrounding forest to hunt Magical Beasts. Their main mission here was to obtain the Purple Flame Companion Source. The strength of the team was especially important. Moreover, with Nangong Shou, a Grandmaster Beast Tamer, around, they could take the opportunity to replenish a few good Spiritual Beasts for the team.
Chu Feng brought Beiting Huang to a relatively remote camp. The curtain of the tent was opened, and Beiting Huang followed Chu Feng in. There were a total of three people in the tent. When they saw Chu Feng enter, they bowed to him in unison. “Greetings, Seventh Prince!”
“You don’t have to bow to me in the future!” Chu Feng took a step back and stood behind Beiting Huang. He moved Beiting Huang in front of everyone and introduced her, “This is Lord Beiting Huang, and also my master. From now on, I am no longer the Seventh Prince of the Silver Moon Liberia Empire. If you are still willing to follow me, swear loyalty to my master. If you are not willing, I won’t force you!”
“What?” The slightly older of the three was dressed like a warrior. He was short and muscular. He carried a black heavy sword on his back and looked at Beiting Huang with hostility. “Your Highness, you’re such an honorable person. How can you acknowledge someone else as your master?”
The royal family was born to make others swear loyalty to them. Now, all three of them were suspicious of this young man’s identity.
“Uncle Wang, you are the guardian warrior of the Royal Court. After my wife was killed, for so many years, you have been wandering in the Magical Beast Forest with me. As a dignified Star Sword Master, I am very grateful even if I am looked down upon! It’s not that I, Chu Feng, don’t want revenge, but I can’t make revenge my lifelong goal. I chose Beiting Huang as my master. There must be a reason why I want to follow her.” Chu Feng was a cold-hearted person. As he talked about the past, his eyes were filled with tears. Although he had tried his best to control his emotions, Beiting Huang could still feel the grief and indignation in them.
“Your Highness, how could you… be so muddle-headed!” Tears streamed down Wang Wei’s face. Even if he had to choose a faction to join, he had to choose a powerful one. What authority did this young man in front of him have?
Wang Wei looked down on Beiting Huang. Chu Feng was especially angry. He was afraid that Wang Wei’s behavior would bring back bad memories for Beiting Huang. She had said that she had once been bullied by her family in Luobei City. Since she was young, she had been beaten up. Everyone said that she was trash. He did not want Beiting Huang to be hurt again.
“Uncle Wang, I will not forget your friendship for so many years. I, Chu Feng, will definitely avenge you one day. However, please do not interfere with my choice!” Chu Feng said righteously.
“Your Highness, how can you live up to the Empress’ expectations of you?” Wang Wei knelt down in front of Beiting Huang with a thud. “Your Highness, if you want to protect this lord, I’m willing to replace you!”
“Pfft!” Beiting Huang sneered. She flicked her long robe and took a step to the side. She was still not used to this kind of kowtow. “In this world, people don’t care about status. They only care about strength. It’s almost an animal’s instinct to follow the strong, including humans! You don’t know my strength. Why do you think I’m not qualified to be followed?”
Since they had already fallen out, Wang Wei jumped up from the ground. “Don’t think that I don’t know who you are. You’re just a piece of trash from the Beiting Family. What right do you have to make His Highness follow you?”
“Uncle Wang!” On Chu Feng’s handsome face that was as cold as an iceberg, a rare emotion called anger appeared. “Uncle Wang, please don’t spread rumors and hurt others with your words. You don’t trust my master. Could it be that you don’t trust me?”
He was no longer willing to hear anyone say the word “trash”. This made his heart ache even more than when he was chased by others back then.
