Chapter 44 Scaring Away

"Wow, he really overestimates himself."

Daji covered her mouth and giggled coquettishly. Qin Yu hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage, yet he dared to recruit Guan Yu. As for his status, Qin Yu is also a prince, no matter how you compare it, Qin Yu is no match for Qin Jun.

Although she hasn't been with Qin Jun for long, she has seen it all. His cultivation has skyrocketed like riding a rocket, and two Nascent Soul stage powerhouses have come to join him.

Just these alone are enough for Qin Jun to sweep the entire Qianyue Kingdom.

As for why she chose to serve Qin Jun, she couldn't explain it herself. It's as if she had made up her mind about Qin Jun, and this feeling is quite strange.

When she first saw Qin Jun, she had an impulse to serve him. Now looking back, it's truly miraculous.

Her interactions with Qin Jun have made her increasingly fond of him. Unconsciously, this mature but not serious young man has already entered her heart.

"Hmph, this prince has a hint of hostility in his eyes, obviously very dissatisfied with me. How can I serve such a master?"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and squinted, making Qin Jun couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and flatter him, "Truly the unparalleled Guan Er Ye, your insight is sharp!"

What an unparalleled figure!

Guan Yu was extremely pleased, and his old red face couldn't help but smile like a chrysanthemum, and his gaze towards Qin Jun became even more admiring. This is the kind of good lord he wants.

At this moment, there came the furious shouting of Qin Yu from outside the inn, "The country is in crisis, and you are all sitting here drinking. What's the use of high cultivation? Without benevolence and righteousness, you will never be called a hero!"

His words only made Qin Jun burst into laughter, "Do I have to serve you to share the burden for the country? Are you the emperor?"

Qin Jun deliberately spoke in a sarcastic tone, making Qin Yu unable to hear his voice, but it infuriated Qin Yu, who pushed away the two guards supporting him and wanted to rush in to fight Qin Jun.

The atmosphere in the inn, which was somewhat tense, instantly turned into laughter.

Yes, why should they work for Qin Yu for the country?

Your father hasn't passed away yet, and you are so arrogant. If you really ascend to the throne in the future, won't you be able to conscript anyone you want?

Most of the cultivators gathered at the Luoyan Inn are lone rangers who value their freedom, so Qin Yu's actions disgust them.

"You have five breaths' time, get out!"

Guan Yu coldly ordered, his voice like a clap of thunder, making everyone shudder.

Qin Jun couldn't help but think of his third brother, the eunuch Zhang Yide, who broke the Dangyang Bridge. Bah, the Yanman Zhang Yide!

But Zhang Fei didn't become a god, he definitely couldn't compare to the current Guan Yu.

Qin Yu and the others outside the inn were almost scared out of their wits, especially with Guan Yu's killing intent locked onto them, making them feel like they were in an icy cave. They had never experienced such terrifying killing intent, even in the imperial palace.

With each passing second, that killing intent doubled, making them unable to move forward.

Five breaths' time is so short, and as it approached the end, Qin Yu couldn't bear the killing intent and hurriedly shouted, "Retreat! Quick, retreat!"

After that, he turned and ran, fearing that Guan Yu would come out to kill them.

In this way, the fifth prince, who held great power in the capital, was actually scared away within the capital, which would definitely cause a huge stir once it spread.

Under the cover of night, the common people and cultivators on both sides of the street looked at the disheveled Qin Yu and the others with confusion.

"What's going on? Isn't that the fifth prince?"

"And the imperial palace guards, why are they so panicked?"

"That direction seems to be Luoyan Inn, right?"

"It's said that the fifth prince wanted to cause trouble for Lord Jun."

"Tsk tsk, they obviously suffered a loss from their posture and expression."

The cultivators were discussing one after another, as if they had taken a stimulant. Since Lord Jun appeared, the plump fifth prince had suffered one defeat after another, which made the cultivators smell a juicy gossip.

Perhaps this Lord Jun will become a formidable rival to the fifth prince in the future!

On the other hand, inside the Luoyan Inn, there was a lot of flattery, and everyone was cheering for Guan Yu. Even the shopkeeper couldn't help but admire Guan Yu.

Having seen countless people in his life, he was the first to see such a domineering man. Even if the other party is the most likely future emperor, he still doesn't give face.

Most importantly, Guan Yu's killing intent, even if it wasn't directed at him, still made him terrified.

"This man is definitely comparable to the peerless general Nan Meng!"

The shopkeeper secretly marveled. Guan Yu's military background was too obvious due to his military service in the past, and combined with his physique and appearance, he was definitely suitable to be a fierce general.

But when he thought of the information he had recently investigated about Qin Jun, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It seems that this young man really has the ambition to contend for the throne!"

The shopkeeper looked deeply at Qin Jun, who was chatting and laughing with Guan Yu, and couldn't help but admire him.

"Haha, Guan Er Ye is truly amazing, scaring them away like that!" Qin Jun marveled, and Guan Yu just smiled and stroked his beard. Although he didn't say much, his expression clearly showed that he was very pleased, almost looking down his nose at Qin Jun.

Daji held her chin with both hands and smiled coquettishly, "Er Ye is indeed formidable, his aura is the most impressive I've ever seen."

She wasn't just flattering him with these words. She had practiced for hundreds of years and had seen many human powerhouses, but none of them had an aura as powerful as Guan Yu's.

Qin Jun rubbed his hands and said, "Let's continue drinking and eating, and ignore that clown."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Yan Mobai, who had been unable to get a word in, finally found an opportunity to speak, but unfortunately, it was just a response to Qin Jun.

Standing on the third-floor corridor, You Fenghuang witnessed everything that had just happened. Looking at Qin Jun, who was laughing and joking, her eyebrows had not relaxed.

"Miss, what are you thinking?"

The curious maid behind her asked, "Despite her delicate appearance, this maid has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, and can be considered a genius."

"I'm wondering which force is behind the young master," murmured You Fenghuang softly.

These days, she had also sent people to investigate Qin Jun's identity. It turned out that Qin Jun was the third prince of the current dynasty, but he had been demoted for committing a crime. However, he was saved by someone and then returned to the capital. What was most surprising was that his cultivation had already reached the sixth level of Foundation Building.

The Qianyue Kingdom did not have such a genius. Even the first genius, Zhuo Junjie, did not have such a high level of cultivation at Qin Jun's age.

In this light, it seemed that Qin Jun had indeed received support from a mysterious force, such as Daji. It was said that Daji was a super powerhouse who could instantly kill those at the Golden Core stage.

She couldn't believe that Qin Jun could attract super powerhouses with his personal charm, especially at his lowest point.

"Don't think too much, miss. Our task is to establish a branch, not to recruit talents," the maid shrugged and laughed. "Besides, the young master hasn't even made it onto the ranking list. How can he compare to you, miss?"

"He will definitely make it onto the ranking list in the future and become famous," murmured You Fenghuang as she looked down at Qin Jun.

Upon hearing this, the maid couldn't help but look at Qin Jun in shock. It was the first time she had heard the miss evaluate someone in such a way, especially someone younger than You Fenghuang.
