Last Totem Novel - Chapter 38

Chapter 38 Gaze
Just as Mu Yu Ling Lan and Ye Xin Ling were secretly competing, a young man wearing a luxurious military uniform walked over. After arriving, the young man directly stood beside Mu Yu Ling Lan and asked, “Ling Lan, what happened?” As he spoke, the young man’s eyes seemed to be filled with the goddess alone, while the others present were like air.

It was very impolite and impolite. When others were catching up, he suddenly interrupted them forcefully and without any etiquette. However, towards this uninvited guest, Tie Zha and Old Niu only had indifferent expressions on their faces, neither humble nor arrogant. They could tell that this person was a noble from Silver City. If they offended him, there would be a lot of trouble.

“It’s alright. Go get busy with you.” Mu Yu Ling Lan replied coldly. When the young man arrived, she immediately put away her smile and returned to the dignified priest with a cold expression.

“Tell me if you’re in trouble. You don’t have to be polite to me.” As he spoke, the young man turned his head to glance at Tie Zha and the others. Then, his gaze paused on Ye Xinling’s face for a second. Then, he waved his hand and signaled Tie Zha and the others to leave.

Tie Zha looked at Muyu Linglan and saw her standing expressionlessly without any objection. Tie Zha immediately understood what she meant. Then, she placed her right hand on her chest and bowed to her as a cultivator. Then, she took Old Niu and Ye Xinling and turned around to leave.

Seeing Tie Zha leave, Mu Yu Ling Lan felt heartache. But she couldn’t show too much affection for Tie Zha, especially in front of the noble children who were chasing after her. At this moment, the young man beside her was called Carl Leylin. He was the fourth young master of the Leylin Clan and was also one of her many suitors. In order to reject these suitors who were about to step past the threshold of the Divine Rain Prayer Palace, she declared that she would serve the Rain God for her entire life and would not marry anyone. Therefore, if she showed an intimate attitude towards Tie Zha, she would arouse the jealousy of Karl and the others. Perhaps it will cause unnecessary trouble for Tie Zha, or even annihilation.

Most of these Silver City disciples did not regard the people on the ground as their own kind. In their mouths, the people on the ground are “trash bugs”. Of course, those who held such an idea were basically unambitious nobles or descendants of poor aristocratic families. For example, Carl Leylin. Although he was the fourth young master of the Leylin Clan, his ability to handle affairs was very poor and his spiritual power was also very weak. Therefore, he did not do well in Silver City’s aristocratic circle.

Silver City’s aristocratic circles were characterized by competition and competition, and those who were defeated in the aristocratic circles would usually discriminate against the people at the lower levels. Perhaps only in this way would they be able to regain some sense of existence.

Actually, the competition in Silver City was even more brutal than on the ground. It was just that the things people competed for were different.

During Mu Yulan’s ten years in Silver City No. 13, she had deeply experienced this. In Silver City, people only valued practical abilities and spiritual power. Either his ability was outstanding, or his spiritual power was outstanding. Otherwise, he would be like an abandoned child, and he would have no status other than as a fertility tool.

In the eyes of those descendants of aristocratic families who were not valued, Mu Yu Ling Lan, who was not of high birth and possessed abundant psionic power, and had the status of a priest, was the perfect match. However, they only thought about it. With Mu Yu Ling Lan’s status in the Divine Rain Prayer Palace, as long as she was unwilling, no one could force her.

But then again, although they couldn’t force Mu Yu Ling Lan, they were more than enough to deal with Tie Zha.

Mu Yuling Lan was very clear on this point, so she watched the iron slag leave without saying a word. But at this moment, a shout suddenly came from behind her!

“Guards! Guards! Catch them, don’t let them escape!” A tall lieutenant ran over and pointed at Tie Zha’s back and shouted, “Yes, those are the ones. Catch them!”

When the soldiers of the Silver City Garrison heard the lieutenant’s shout, they immediately raised their submachine guns and surrounded Tie Zha and the others. The iron slag tightened its body and narrowed its eyes as it looked around at the surrounding soldiers. In the eyes of the soldiers, he was like a ferocious beast that would explode at any moment.

“Soldier! Retreat!” Mu Yu Ling Lan shouted harshly, her clear and loud voice resembling spring thunder. The lieutenant was dumbfounded and looked blankly at the highest commander of the army, Karl Leylin.

At this moment, Karl also revealed a stunned expression. He did not expect Mu Yu Ling Lan to suddenly lose her temper. However, he waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to retreat. To put it bluntly, although he was the commander of this operation, he was also a bodyguard. This goddess was the real boss.

Seeing the goddess’s angry expression, the lieutenant hurriedly explained, “Sir, we can’t let them go. They injured our mechanic in the parts market just now, and he’s still lying in the ambulance.”

“We are here today for the grace of the God of Rain, not to show our divine might.” Just as he was speaking, Mu Yu Ling Lan suddenly changed the topic and sternly asked, “Why did you leave your posts without permission! Who allowed you to leave the main street?”

The lieutenant was speechless as he looked helplessly at Carl. If Carl didn’t understand what Mu Yu Ling Lan meant at this time, then he would have lived for more than twenty years in vain. Although he had always been a defender, no matter how much he tried to defend himself, it was impossible for him to cause unhappiness with the priests of the Divine Hall for a mechanic. Moreover, this priest was still his target of pursuit. Thus, he first winked at the lieutenant, signaling him to leave quickly. Then, he said to Mu Yu Ling Lan, “Lord Priest, there might be a misunderstanding here, but wouldn’t it be too good to let them go just like this?”

Just as Mu Yu Ling Lan was about to answer, Tie Zha walked back. Although he knew that the priest’s status was very high, he didn’t know how high it was, so he didn’t want to implicate her.

“I was the one who injured him” Iron Slag said.

“It was me! Why are you coming at me? It has nothing to do with them!” Old Niu interrupted Tie Zha from the side and said loudly.

Tie Zha hurriedly dialed away the old bull and said, “Alright, we were the ones who injured him.”

“Please explain everything clearly. The Rain God is notary and selfless.” Mu Yu Ling Lan said at the right time.

After that, Iron Cinder told him what happened just now, adding a little more fuel to the fire. In short, the other party had stirred up the trouble first, then fought, and in the end, each of them suffered injuries. When Iron Cinder said that there were “separate injuries”, the old bull was still very cooperative as he covered his lower abdomen and squatted on the ground, pretending to be in a very painful state.

Mu Yu Ling Lan listened carefully to Tie Zha’s explanation and finally looked at Karl, asking for his opinion as an interim commander.

Karl thought carefully for a while and replied seriously, “Since it’s a fight, both sides are at fault. Go back and reflect on yourself. Don’t be too impulsive in the future.” After saying that, Carl signaled the guards beside him to send a golden business card to Tie Zha, and then continued, “See if you two have the courage and ability, if you are interested in joining the Silver City Guards, come and find me. My name is Carl Leylin.”

“Alright.” After Tie Zha finished his answer, he turned to Mu Yu Ling Lan and asked, “Sir, can we go now?”

Mu Yu Ling Lan nodded. Tie Zha and the others immediately turned around and left. After all, staying here would be a long night’s sleep.

Karl frowned invisibly as he watched Tie Zha leave. Tie Zha’s “yes” just now did not say that he would join, nor did he say that he would not join. His ambiguous attitude made him feel very unhappy. Faced with the recruitment of this Silver City noble, the other party actually did not immediately agree to his offer of gratitude. It was truly a bit ignorant of the heavens and earth.

After a while, Tie Zha walked out of Tieshan Town. He told Old Niu and Ye Xin Ling to go back first, then take a small path back to the town, and then go to the Autonomous Society to find Lena. Today’s events gave him a bad premonition. He was eager to increase his combat strength, so he was prepared to let go of his manly dignity and borrow money from his eldest sister.

However, he was not very sure whether the modified/Alice’s body could increase her combat strength. But he always felt that Tasha, one of the greatest scientists in the world, had no reason to make a fake thing out of him.

After arriving at the Autonomous Council, Tie Zha went straight to the second floor and arrived at Lena’s office. At this moment, Lena was sitting on the sofa drinking wine, her slightly red face carrying a trace of drunkenness. Seeing Tie Zha come in, she patted the other side of the sofa and signaled for him to come over and sit.

Tie Zha subconsciously scratched her hair and sat beside Lena. Lena put her arm around his shoulder and whispered in his ear, “Baby … is the little priest … beautiful?”

Hearing this, Tie Zha rolled his eyes. It seemed that nothing in Tieshan Town could escape Big Sister’s eyes. He could tell the jealousy in Lena’s words. Therefore, he explained the cause and effect to Lena seriously, including how he had known Mu Yu Ling Lan back then, and what had happened afterwards. (Tie Zha did not know that Old Man Tie originally wanted to sell Mu Yu Ling Lan, nor did he know that Old Man Tie changed his plan after seeing the convoy, nor did he know that Old Man Tie was killed in order to intercept the parking lot. Mu Yu Ling Lan did not want to tell Tie Zha about these things, because the grudges were unclear.)

After listening to Tie Zha’s narrative, Lena opened her hands and gently carried him into her arms. Then, she whispered, “Little Tie Zha, big sister suddenly feels so lucky …”

“Why?” The iron slag asked in confusion.

Lena shook her head with a smile, but did not answer.

Actually, she had already answered in her heart, but she didn’t say it out loud.

“My luck is that I happened to appear when you needed me. Perhaps a few years later, you won’t need me anymore …”

She didn’t want to tell him what she really thought. She just wanted to watch him quietly like this, watch him grow into a towering tree, watch him soar in the nine heavens with full wings …

Perhaps on that day, she could only look at him from afar.

But this was enough for her …
