Episode 8: Walking a Thousand Miles Chapter 42: Going to the Appointment

A five-year contract, Linley still remembered his promise.

“Let’s hope that Jenny won’t be too dead set on it.”

Linley knew that even if Jenny still decided to follow him, the most Linley could do was have Jenny follow him like the Rebecca sisters.

It was impossible for Linley to give his feelings.

After experiencing so much, over and over again, the depths of Linley’s heart had long since been frozen, and that ice was cold and thick. It was hard, very hard, to melt the ice in Linley’s heart.

Thinking of feelings, Linley naturally thought of Little Walden.

“Listening to the letters sent by Yale, that boy Walton has been hitting it off with that Imperial Seventh Princess for a year now, but according to the description of the letters, it’s not easy for Walton to marry the Imperial Seventh Princess.”

That Imperial Seventh Princess’s conditions were too good, kind, pure, beautiful, high status, and favored by the Emperor. There were too many people pursuing her.

Linley could only heartily wish for his brother to obtain a perfect love nowadays.

At least, it couldn’t be like him.

Half a month later.

“My lord.”

Oldest Five ‘Gates’ rushed over in a flurry of excitement, saying excitedly to Linley, who had just finished a stone sculpture, “My big brother, he’s also comprehended lifting weights.”

“Oh?”

Linley flipped his hand and put away his flat blade, surprised, “Barker has reached the realm of lifting weights as if they were light?”

“Yes, my lord, why don’t you go take a look.”

Gates suggested.

Linley smiled, “In that case, Gates, go and call everyone to the hall, I have something to tell you.”

“Oh.”

Gates nodded when he saw that Linley had something important to say.

After a while, everyone was gathered in the middle of the hall. At this time, everyone else was still talking about Barker’s realization of the ‘lifting weights like lightness’ realm.

“Gentlemen.”

Linley smiled as he looked at the crowd in the hall, “I have something important to go out for, this time I’ll only bring Bebe and Heilu over. As for all of you, continue to stay here and cultivate. Come back in a few days after a short period of time. For a long time, I will also send someone over to deliver a message.”

“My lord, you’re not taking us out together?”

Gates asked with a big grin.

“You guys continue to cultivate.”

Linley smiled and glanced at Gates, “Gates, if you reach the ‘potential’ earth realm, or level nine, I’ll take you out.”

Gates immediately shut his mouth.

He wasn’t Linley, it was already ten thousand times harder to reach ‘lifting weights’, and now the realm of ‘lifting weights’ was something he was only at the beginning of and hadn’t fully mastered.

“Alright. I’ll set off tomorrow morning.”

Linley directly announced. ……

Early the next morning, under the watchful eyes of the five Barker brothers, the Rebecca sisters, and the Sessler crowd, Linley, wearing a warrior’s strong suit on the inside and an open black robe on the outside, rode the black-striped clouded panther ‘Heilu’, with Beibei also standing on Heilu’s back. One person and two magical beasts set off to leave Cloud Peak Town.

That robe was hunting in the wind, and now Linley’s weapons were all in his spatial ring.

“Using the Hei Yu Heavy Sword to perform the Earth Upanishad is very powerful. And when the Earth Upanishad comes out, it might have to hurt someone’s life. It’s usually better to use the Purple Blood Excalibur.”

In terms of Earth Upanishads, Linley had already reached a relatively high level.

And in terms of the ‘wind Upanishad’ of the Violetblood Softsword, Linley was still rudimentary.

Linley didn’t think. Using the ”Purple Blood Softsword”, the attack power was going to be weaker than the Black Yul Heavy Sword. After all, there was a ‘Sublime Blade’ in the wind magic forbidden spells, and if magic could be performed, then swordsmanship should be able to be performed.

“Bebe, I’ve noticed that you’ve been improving over the years, what kind of magical beast are you?”

Linley inquired as he smiled at Bebe, who was standing on Blackru’s back.

Heilu let out a low roar at this time, “Master, Bebe is perverted, I’ve never seen such a perverted magical beast before. It was almost as strong as me five years ago, and now it’s much stronger than me. But it surprisingly hasn’t even reached the Holy Domain yet.”

If Heilu had met the three sons of the king of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, ‘Di Lin’. Those three terrifying Saint realm magical beasts that could easily devour hundreds of dragons, he would know that there were magical beasts that were more perverted than Bebe. There were still some.

“Bebe is a bit more powerful.”

Linley smiled, “Maybe Bebe is still in the middle of growing up.”

Linley suspected that Bebe hadn’t reached maturity yet.

“Heh heh, most likely oh.”

Bebe narcissistically raised his little head, “If I, Bebe, reach maturity, I might be a Saint Domain Magical Beast.”

Sacred Domain Magical Beasts such as the Blood Eyed Maned Lion, the Earth Storm Bear, and the Purple Eyed Golden Hair Ape …… These magical beasts grow normally, and once they reach maturity, they are naturally Sacred Domain Magical Beasts.

This was the talent of the Holy Domain Magical Beast Earth.

“Saint realm magical beasts I know, are there any natural god level magical beasts?”

Linley sighed in his heart, “Even if there were, I’m afraid they wouldn’t exist in a realm at this level of the Yulan Continent.” ……

Traveling along, when evening came, Linley arrived at Chil County City.

On the streets of Chil County City, there were also quite a few riding magical beasts, but most of those people were riding wind wolves, tooth wolves, and some other low and mid-level magical beasts.

When Linley rode the Black Striped Cloud Leopard on the street, the other magical beasts all consciously and immediately stepped aside in fear.

It might be difficult for a human to judge the level of a magical beast when they saw an unfamiliar magical beast, but it was easy for a low-level magical beast to feel the difference in level when it encountered a high-level magical beast.

“Eh? Black Panther?”

An ordinary man on the streets of Chir County City couldn’t help but see Linley and the sitting black panther, “There’s a black panther, and he looks pretty much the same as in that portrait. Nine times out of ten, that’s it.”

This man’s heart was so excited that he immediately left the street at a fast pace and ran towards an alleyway. ……

At the entrance of the Chil County City Lord’s Castle, Linley had only just seen the gate of the castle when he realized that a large group of people had gathered at the entrance of the castle, waiting for Linley to approach.

“Big brother Lei.”

A pair of young men and women shouted from a long distance.

Linley recognized them at once, the woman who had become more mature and beautiful was none other than Jenny, and the handsome young man who was half a head taller than Jenny should be Keane, who had already reached adulthood.

Keane and Jenny ran over quickly.

Keane, who is now nineteen years old, said loudly, “Big brother Lei, I heard the guards informing me that a person riding a black panther has come, and I guessed that it was you.”

The black ground panther, which was very rare. Apart from the black line panther there was only the black striped cloud panther.

“Big brother Lei.”

A slight blush also rose on Jenny’s face. Looking expectantly at Linley.

“Let’s go in first.”

Linley said with a faint smile.

A group of people bustled inside the castle, and since the year he turned sixteen, Keane had been officially handling affairs. Nowadays, he was already a qualified land lord.

Last year, Keane had also married a beautiful wife, and at that time, Keane wanted to invite Linley, but unfortunately, he didn’t know exactly where Linley was.

“Jenny, you’ve become a magician?”

On his way towards the hall, Linley inquired with a smile.

With Linley’s spiritual power, he could sense the magical aura in Jenny’s body, which wasn’t exactly strong.

“Yes, water magic.”

Jenny’s eyes glowed with excitement, “After big brother Lei you left, I’ve been doing nothing. Then I thought that big brother Lei you are so powerful. It would be bad if I followed you and kept dragging you down, so I first went to test my elemental affinity and spiritual power. I didn’t expect that I would be suitable for practicing water magic.”

When Jenny, who was a toddler, was suppressed by the eldest mother when she was in the City Lord’s Mansion, she didn’t have the chance to cultivate magic at all.

No one knew that Jenny even had magic talent.

“But my talent isn’t too good, cultivating for five years. Only a third level magician.”

Jenny whispered.

Generally a person’s mental power was always increasing from infancy to adulthood. As for Linley, Reno, these geniuses, even if they didn’t cultivate at the time, it was just a natural growth to the age of eighteen, and at that time, when they cultivated magic, they were afraid that their spiritual power would have reached the level of a third level magician.

Eighteen years old cultivation. It also took five years to become a third level magician.

Talent can only be considered average. A little higher than normal.

“Big brother Lei, please sit.”

Keane enthusiastically let Linley take the top seat, “Let me introduce you, this is my wife, Irene.”

Next to Keane was a very pretty young woman with beautiful blue eyes, at the moment this city lord’s wife was looking at Linley curiously. She was in love with Keane. Keane hadn’t talked about Linley’s affairs to her much.

“Big brother Lei.”

Ayrin curtsied.

“Keane, all of you feel free to sit down. Don’t be so formal.”

Linley said with a faint smile.

Everyone sat down in turn. Keane always looked at Linley, Keane he was well aware of. Linley had come over this time in relation to a promise made five years ago.

Five years later Earth Jenny, twenty-three years old. Because she practiced water magic, Jenny’s skin was like gelatin, making her even more beautiful and attractive. Moreover, at the age of twenty-three, Jenny was not as shy as she was at the age of eighteen.

In these five years, there were many people who pursued Jenny.

Not only in Chill County, but also when Jenny and Keane went to the provincial city of Bazil to participate in the clan’s annual gathering, it also caused many people to express their love for Jenny.

But Jenny had been ignoring the others.

“Jenny.”

Linley looked at Jenny and opened the door, “You must still remember the agreement you made five years ago, Jenny, let me tell you, in my heart, I really do see you as a sister who needs someone to care for her.”

Jenny’s body trembled, but then she smiled.

Next to her, Keane, and even Lambert, the butler, let out a low sigh.

“Brother Ray.”

Jenny laughed, “Having such a brother is something I’ve been looking forward to, no matter what, I will follow you. If I don’t marry someone, you can’t think of dumping me.”

Linley was slightly stunned.

Immediately, Linley realized that this Jenny seemed determined to follow him. However, listening to Jenny’s meaning, it was obvious that after five years, Jenny had already prepared herself mentally.

“Then when are you going to leave with me?”

Linley inquired.

Jenny hesitated for a moment, after all, she and Keane were siblings, and she still couldn’t let go of her brother in her heart. However, seeing how her brother was in love with Ayrin, Jenny’s heart was also relieved.

“I can go with Big Brother Lei anytime, Big Brother Lei, where are we going to go first?”

Jenny inquired.

“First, we’ll make a trip to the town on the outskirts of the provincial city of Bazil.”

Linley replied.

“Provincial City Bazil?”

Keane, who was beside him, was stunned as he immediately said, “Big brother Lei, our Jax family holds an annual family gathering in the provincial town of Bazil. It’s the fifteenth day of November every year. There are still three days until that day, so I wonder if it’s possible for Big Brother Lei, to have my sister go with me to the family gathering once more? It’s on the way anyway.”

Keane looked at Linley expectantly.

Keane was very reluctant to part with his sister, he knew that Linley was a family man of all four seas, once his sister followed Linley and left, then he didn’t know when he’d want to see his sister, Jenny, in the future.

Siblings who had grown up together from a young age, and their feelings were deep.

Linley looked at Keane, then at Jenny, and nodded, “Alright, we’ll go to the provincial city of Bazil together then, and when you’re done with the family gathering, Jenny will come with me.”

“Thanks.”

Keane said gratefully. ……

While Linley was in the middle of the city lord’s castle, the Illuminati’s lurking men and women in the city of Chill County were excited.

“That Linley has actually arrived in Chill County City, this, this is great.”

A white-robed man’s face was filled with excitement, “It’s been five years, five years, and I’ve finally tracked down this Linley.”

The Illuminati had been checking for traces of Linley for five years, but the Illuminati had too few men in the O’Brien Empire, and the men were mainly in places like the provincial county towns, so naturally, they couldn’t check for Linley, who was living in seclusion in a countryside town.

And as Linley had once stayed for a long period of time in the county town of Chil, the Illuminati had a lot of people here.

“You quickly go inform Lord Lantan, who lives in the countryside, and say that Linley has arrived in Chil County City.”

The white-robed man immediately instructed his men.

Lantan and the other six angels had come to the O’Brien Empire and had searched all over the world for Linley for a full two years, but they hadn’t found him. In the end, they had no choice but to first choose to take up residence in a small town close to Chill County City, always waiting for news.

Once they received news, they would immediately set out.

They would do whatever it took to kill Linley, even if they had to die together. This was the order that their six angels had been given.
