"What a strong spirit!"
Qin Yu stared at Guan Yu in astonishment. As someone who was involved in both military and political affairs, his vision was sharp and ruthless. Guan Yu was definitely not an ordinary person.
The imposing aura emanating from Guan Yu was something he had only seen in one other person, the Grand General Nan Meng! And the oppressive force exuded by Guan Yu was even stronger than Nan Meng's!
Not only him, but everyone else was also shocked. Even the usually arrogant Bloodthirsty King was dumbfounded upon seeing Guan Yu. Even the woman in green couldn't help but frown as she observed Guan Yu.
"What a great man!"
The innkeeper exclaimed and quickly sent a waiter to help Guan Yu with his horse.
"Sir, do you need a room?" The innkeeper asked cautiously. As a businessman, he understood who could be bullied and who should not be offended. He had seen countless people, even the strong cultivators in the Golden Core realm, but had never encountered someone with such a towering presence as Guan Yu.
Guan Yu nodded as he spoke, stroking his beard. "Yes."
As he spoke, his phoenix-like eyes swept across the room, and no one dared to meet his gaze. Even the woman in green, who had previously disregarded Qin Yu, instinctively lowered her head, thinking to herself, "Such a strong pressure, even more terrifying than the elders of my sect!"
"I must win him over!"
Qin Yu was excited, trembling with excitement. The biggest obstacle on his path to the throne was Nan Meng. Although he had managed to win over many ministers in the court, the military of the Qianyue Kingdom was firmly under Nan Meng's control, leaving him with no opportunity to intervene.
Guan Yu was a fierce general in his lifetime, and his cultivation had skyrocketed after becoming a god. His aura of a fierce general was far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
If he stood with Nan Meng, even Nan Meng would be overshadowed by his presence.
"This senior..."
Qin Yu bowed and saluted. As the fifth prince, he actually bowed to someone, but none of the guests present were surprised. The reason was simple: this towering figure was just too strong!
Just one glance at him made people feel powerless, let alone in battle.
Guan Yu was extremely proud, and even after becoming a god and being summoned by the system, he had only altered his memories, while his abilities and personality remained the same. Therefore, he did not restrain his own aura.
At the ninth level of the Void Transformation realm, just one step away from the Immortal realm, the aura he casually exuded was as dazzling as the sun.
"Step aside. I have always detested people like you who use their power to oppress others, even if you are a prince."
Guan Yu waved his hand, and Qin Yu's face twitched, feeling a dull pain in his liver.
Brother, who is really using power to oppress others?
You have everyone in the inn gasping for breath...
Qin Yu cursed inwardly, but he dared not show it, fearing that Guan Yu might crush his throat on the spot.
Guan Yu seemed to sense his dissatisfaction and glanced at him, causing him to quickly step back.
"I won't disturb the senior's rest."
Qin Yu bowed and said, then left with the Bloodthirsty King. The curious gazes of the surrounding guests made him feel extremely embarrassed. He knew that after today, the whole city would be talking about this incident.
Although angry, he dared not show his anger towards Guan Yu. In fact, he became even more eager to win over Guan Yu.
If he could win over Guan Yu, this joke would turn into a great story.
After leaving the Fallen Cliff Inn, the Bloodthirsty King couldn't help but exclaim, "That person was so strong. Just one glance made me feel suffocated."
Qin Yu nodded. "If we can get him to participate in the upcoming battle with the Canglan Kingdom, we will definitely win!"
From the moment he saw Guan Yu, he believed that Guan Yu was stronger than Nan Meng. This inexplicable feeling made him even more curious about Guan Yu.
Today, he had originally intended to deal with Yan Mobei, but because of Guan Yu, his attention was instantly diverted, and he completely put Yan Mobei out of his mind.
...
Inside the Fallen Cliff Inn, Guan Yu found an empty table and sat down. The attention of the other guests was all focused on him, and no one dared to speak loudly. This was something Guan Yu was used to, and he did not get angry.
As a martial artist, wherever he went, he was the center of attention after reaching the pinnacle of martial arts. After learning the ways of cultivation, his temperament became even more fierce.
"Miss, this person doesn't restrain his aura at all. He really doesn't regard anyone with respect."
The maid whispered to the woman in green, who shook her head and smiled. "If he were to release all of his aura, the Fallen Cliff Inn would be leveled in an instant."
"So powerful..." The maid's mouth formed a round shape in astonishment.
At that moment, the sounds of children playing came from the third floor, and Qin Jun led ten children, including Yan San, downstairs.
Daji, the Howling Celestial Hound, Yan Mobei, and his three servants followed closely behind.
"Speaking of Guan Yu, he brought back the head of Hua Xiong before the wine given to him by Cao Cao had even cooled, shocking the various lords and causing their faces to change..."
Qin Jun was telling the children the story of the Three Kingdoms. Due to the unexpected summoning of Guan Yu, he was inspired to tell the story of Guan Yu to the others, which piqued their interest, and they insisted on hearing more.
Guan Yu's expression changed, and he suddenly stood up, startling everyone into standing up as well. The atmosphere became tense, and no one dared to take a deep breath.
Everyone was puzzled, wondering what had happened to him this time.
Qin Jun also noticed that something was amiss when he arrived on the first floor. His gaze naturally fell on Guan Yu, and his face lit up with joy.
Guan Yu's image was deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people of Huaxia. Every Huaxia person could guess his identity at a glance. Wearing a green robe, tall and majestic, with a red complexion and a large beard, the title of "Beautiful Beard" was not just an empty name.
The guests also recognized Qin Jun. The incident where Qin Jun slapped a cultivator in the Qi Refining realm and sent him flying had become a long-lasting topic in the Fallen Cliff Inn.
As Qin Jun and Guan Yu locked eyes, they couldn't help but sigh in sorrow. "This young lord is in trouble," they both thought.
"Your Highness, I apologize for my tardiness. I hope you won't be upset," Guan Yu quickly approached Qin Jun, knelt down, and clasped his fists. This scene shocked everyone present.
Hiss—
This terrifying giant is actually a subordinate of this young lord?
The woman in green also widened her eyes and carefully observed Qin Jun. She was shocked to realize that Qin Jun had reached the sixth level of the Foundation Building stage. He appeared to be about the same age as the previous Fifth Prince, yet he possessed such cultivation.
A genius!
A true genius!
"Guan Er, you've finally come!" Qin Jun exclaimed excitedly, causing the children like Yan San to look at Guan Yu in amazement.
Daji and Xiong Tian, on the other hand, looked at Guan Yu with fear, sensing a hint of danger from him.
This burly man is also a powerful expert in the Illusionary Realm!
"When I was practicing martial arts, I once received care from the ancestors of Lady Xu. I promised to assist her descendants after reaching a high level of cultivation. I learned that Your Highness is in danger and specifically came to rescue you. After investigating along the way, I just discovered that Your Highness has returned to the capital," Guan Yu sighed. Lady Xu was Qin Jun's adoptive mother, who had passed away three years ago.
It must be said that the system had arranged Guan Yu's identity perfectly. Such an explanation would be impossible for outsiders to investigate, as it involved the ancestors of the Xu family. The once grand Xu family had already perished, leaving only Qin Jun.
