Chapter 127 Dignity

"I didn't expect the soldiers of the dynasty to be so incompetent," Qin Jun sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.

The others were also somewhat indignant. Fa Hai coldly said, "I didn't expect the Southern Dynasty to become more and more decadent."

Fa Hai had been in the mortal world for more than ten years. The Yehua Temple he had joined was a superpower that was no less than the seven major sects of the Southern Dynasty, so naturally, he was not afraid of the Southern Dynasty.

"Endure it."

Ye Xuan sighed, and the others had the same attitude. They couldn't just turn back, could they?

As for breaking in?

The consequences would be too great, and it might even involve their own kingdom!

While everyone was lost in thought, the team gradually pushed forward, and Zhang Yue, who was at the back, kept glaring at Qin Jun with resentment, wishing to tear him to pieces.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they finally reached Qin Jun and the others.

Qin Jun had been observing which soldiers had good character, so he instructed the guards to approach the soldiers with questionable behavior and had the four women arrange themselves in front of the soldiers he deemed to have good conduct. His actions actually moved Zhu Yanqing and Yang Lan.

Looking at Ye Xuan, Zong Yan, and Murong Xuan, they were only concerned about themselves, unlike Qin Jun, who was so attentive.

"Hmph!"

Yang Lan coldly snorted at Ye Xuan and the others, then took the lead in approaching the gate guards, leaving the three of them puzzled.

Following behind Xiao Li, Qin Jun was in front of Daji and Zhu Yanqing. The four women had graceful figures, and as they walked out, they attracted the attention of many gate guards and sympathetic glances from other cultivators.

The soldier who was checking Yang Lan had a stern face, and he spoke in a stern voice, "Lift your veil!"

The gate guards next to him had to do it themselves.

After seeing Yang Lan's face, the stern soldier began to ask for some basic information, all of which was recorded in a blue crystal ball the size of a basketball, supported by three wooden frames, with lightning flashing inside.

Despite its gorgeous appearance, it was actually a high-grade magical tool, with no attack power, only used for recording information, called the "People's Ball."

The People's Ball was divided into a main ball and sub-balls. The main ball collected all the information from the sub-balls. If a sub-ball broke, it didn't matter, but if the main ball broke, all the information would be lost, so the main ball was extremely important.

Generally speaking, the higher the grade of the main ball and the more sub-balls there were, the higher the grade of the People's Ball.

Not all kingdoms had such high-grade magical tools, at least the Qianyue Kingdom and the Canglan Kingdom did not.

Soon, Yang Lan successfully passed the identity registration, and then it was Zhu Yanqing's turn. As soon as she lifted her veil, the stern soldier's expression froze, making Qin Jun sigh. It seemed that there was indeed a big difference in appearance between Yang Lan and Zhu Yanqing.

Zhu Yanqing frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Can we start now?"

The stern soldier quickly came to his senses and then awkwardly began to inquire about Zhu Yanqing's identity information.

A tall and thin soldier next to him also noticed the stern soldier's unusual behavior. He couldn't help but wonder why this guy, who usually stayed away from women, seemed so distracted just now.

Looking at Zhu Yanqing, even though she had her back to him, her figure was extremely charming, making him unable to resist the urge to get close to her.

Seeing this, the tall and thin soldier couldn't help but approach. This scene made Qin Jun and the others frowned, feeling that something was not right.

"Hey! It's actually a beauty. Such looks are rare."

The tall and thin soldier marveled, and the lust in his eyes almost solidified.

After speaking, he reached out towards Zhu Yanqing, startling her into instinctively stepping back. Yang Lan, who was standing behind the gate guard, also became nervous. Although she usually found Zhu Yanqing's attitude somewhat disagreeable, she was still a senior sister in the sect. She instinctively looked at Ye Xuan and the others, hoping they would do something.

However, Ye Xuan, Zong Yan, and Murong Xuan pretended not to see.

This scene was the same as three years ago. At that time, when she was wronged, Ye Xuan did not stand up for her.

At this moment, Zhu Yanqing was also in turmoil, and her right hand instinctively reached for the long sword at her waist. Seeing this, the tall and thin soldier became even more excited. He licked his lips and gradually approached Zhu Yanqing.

"Hey, don't go too far," the stern soldier suddenly spoke up, his thick eyebrows furrowed, clearly displeased with the tall and thin soldier's behavior.

Unfortunately, the tall and thin soldier didn't care. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm just checking her. I won't sleep with her!"

His words were so brazen, making the waiting cultivators frown and even whisper among themselves, afraid of being heard and then being refused entry.

For the cultivators of the kingdom, the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Tournament was an opportunity to change their lives. Who would be willing to give up such an opportunity?

If successful, they would completely rise to the top. If they missed this opportunity, they would only be active in their own kingdom, and it would be difficult for them to reach higher levels.

Ye Xuan and the others also had the same mentality, so they could only endure it!

Even Ye Xuan, who liked Zhu Yanqing, had to give up his beloved woman in the face of such an opportunity.

"Hey! As soldiers of the dynasty, do you not feel ashamed to bully us like this?" An inappropriate voice suddenly sounded, piercing the ears of the gate guards.

The tall and thin soldier's face immediately turned cold, and then following the direction of the voice, he fixed his gaze on Qin Jun.

"You brat, what do you mean? Are you disrespecting the dignity of my dynasty?" the tall and thin soldier said in a deep voice, directly accusing Qin Jun of baseless charges.

Unfortunately, he was facing Qin Jun, a time traveler who had achieved a small level of mastery in the art of eloquence.

"I wouldn't dare. You are from the imperial dynasty, and we are from the kingdom. It's like a family, with you as the elders and us as the juniors. Have you ever seen elders bullying juniors?" Qin Jun pretended to be aggrieved, leaving the thin and tall soldier unsure of how to refute.

If he continued, wouldn't it be bullying the weak? If he didn't continue, wouldn't it make him look afraid?

Afraid of a brat from the kingdom!

"Hmph! Words won't solve this. Today, I must inspect her!" the thin and tall soldier angrily declared, reaching out his wolf-like claws towards Zhu Yanqing.

Naturally, Zhu Yanqing wouldn't let him succeed. She immediately stepped back, even retreating behind Qin Jun.

Qin Jun was speechless. He had spoken up because if Zhu Yanqing was discovered, Daji and Xiao Li would surely be as well. Why not take the opportunity to save this beauty? But now, Zhu Yanqing was hiding behind him, and as a man, Qin Jun could only help to the end.

At the very least, they would have a connection!

"Everyone, although we came for the Hidden Dragon Society's martial arts competition, does that mean we should abandon our dignity?" Qin Jun suddenly shouted loudly, his voice reaching the ears of everyone at the city gate, causing all eyes to turn towards him.

The word "dignity" touched the hearts of many.

"You brat, what do you want to say?" the thin and tall soldier became even angrier.

Although they were acting recklessly, if things escalated, it wouldn't sound good if it got out. After all, the Southern Zhuo Dynasty belonged to the righteous path, and propriety, righteousness, integrity, and honor were the main values they upheld.
