    The Dark Guard paused for a moment before following Ji Fengyan onto the carriage. The rolling wheels sped out of the pce entrance.


    Ji Fengyan looked out of the windows at the lights of the capital. A faint smile of blood lingered on her.


    The Dark Guard looked at Ji Fengyan for a long time and only spoke after an extended silence.


    “Miss Ji.”


    “Yes?” Ji Fengyan replied.


    “The Grand Tutor asked me to ry a message to you.” The Dark Guard said.


    Ji Fengyan’s eyes glittered. “My thanks to the Grand Tutor for his help in today’s situation.” Although she was ready to burn her bridges and leave the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, Xing Lou’s assistance had gotten her out of deep trouble.


    If not for what had happened previously, Ji Fengyan would only have been too happy to make such a dependable friend.


    However...


    When she thought of little Liu Huo at home, Ji Fengyan could not help but maintain a distance between Xing Lou and herself.


    “The Grand Tutor says that you are wee. He caused the situation, so of course he should help resolve it.” The Dark Guard repeated Xing Lou’s message to Ji Fengyan word for word.


    Those words rather surprised Ji Fengyan. She had not expected Xing Lou to perceive the Eldest Princess’s thoughts. Ji Fengyan, who had been implicated by Xing Lou, did not take it to heart. The Grand Tutor’s words gave her a sense of relief. “The Eldest Princess has the royal family’s interest at heart. The Grand Tutor will naturally take care of matters rting to the Eldest Princess. However, the Grand Tutor would like me to remind Miss Ji of something.” said the Dark Guard.


    “Please go on.”


    “Miss Ji does not wish to be restricted. Although you have the honor because of a terminator, ultimately, you have only just inherited the World-Termination-Armour and have not yet made any contribution to the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. Although the Emperor treats the terminators with respect, he has even more respect for terminators who have served with distinction. As such... the Grand Tutor says that if Miss Ji wishes to live freely in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, she should quickly her prove her voice as worth hearing.”


    Xing Lou’s words, spoken from the Dark Guard’s mouth, pointed out Ji Fengyan’s current embarrassing situation.


    Compared to other people, she had the lofty status of a terminator.


    But to the Emperor, she was only a young girl who had obtained a valuable weapon, but had not yet achieved anything. Although he took note of her, he did not ce much importance on her.


    That was why the Eldest Princess had dared to plot against Ji Fengyan today. It was because Ji Fengyan was a terminator in name, but not in deed...


    This would never have happened to any of the terminators who had fought on the battlefield. The Emperor’s respect for terminators that had fought on the battlefield was sufficient to safeguard them from the intrigues of the royal family.


    As she listened, Ji Fengyan took the warning to heart. She had also felt that her status as a terminator was of little value.


    Leaving aside the Emperor and the Eldest Princess, even the Lei family and the Ji family were not afraid of her.


    Ultimately, her title was an empty one.


    “Serve with distinction...” Ji Fengyan rubbed her chin. The Dark Guard’s words reminded her that her inner core was slowly recovering, but as this progressed, she would need increasing amounts of spiritual energy. Every little growth of her vital energy multiplied its demands for spiritual energy. Her current methods alone would not provide sufficient spiritual energy.


    “If a terminator gains a victory, will he receive arge reward?” Ji Fengyan asked the Dark Guard with glittering eyes.


    Ji Fengyan’s abrupt question stunned the Dark Guard...


    Why was her thought process so strange?


    Even so, the Dark Guard nodded obediently.


    Ji Fengyan smiled. “That’s good. Entering the battlefield early might be a good thing.”


    Ji Fengyan’s nonchnt tone stunned the Dark Guard. Once a terminator entered the battlefield, he would not face ordinary enemies, but the cruel and savage Demon n!
