Chapter 960: Chapter 828: Here We Go Again!

The marquis’ son said these words, indicating that the matter wouldn’t end here.

Inquiring about the other person’s identity is akin to saying, ”I want to remember who you are.”

As for offending the Supreme? That’s not the case; his words and demeanor are polite, even if there is a subtle hint of threat.

He indeed feels aggrieved, being checked out of nowhere — whom did I provoke?

”This little brat!” Upon hearing this, the Supreme was somewhat distressed; if he really wanted to play tough, he could crush the opponent with a single finger.

However, the other party had already revealed himself, and when it comes to ”family honor,” things can’t be handled that way.

If he dared to take action and kill, the marquis clan would search the entire empire and definitely wouldn’t let him go — otherwise, what honor would remain?

In truth, he didn’t want to reveal his identity; being targeted by the marquis clan is definitely not a good thing.

He hesitated for a moment before snorting coldly, ”Stay put and be a good student, you still don’t understand... what Supreme Anger means!”

This response had a hint of fear but wasn’t particularly disgraceful—Supreme Anger could make rivers of blood flow.

In recorded history, Supreme Anger had overturned countless nobles.

Especially those Supreme individuals who were lone wanderers, without any ties; even if they offended nobles, you couldn’t unequivocally say who feared whom.

If such a person disregarded identity and proactively attacked, any noble would have a headache.

Of course, whether this person had such courage was hard to say; after all, being a Supreme within the system might not allow true recklessness.

The two sides wouldn’t back down, so the matter remained gridlocked.

The Supreme couldn’t retreat, nor could the marquis’ son—how could he lose face with so many classmates around?

Just at this moment, someone shouted, ”Who’s there? Stop right now, this is a military control zone!”

Everyone turned their heads upon hearing this, only to see billowing dust in the distance with three off-road vehicles approaching.

The three cars were at least thirty or forty kilometers away from here, and normally wouldn’t need to give a warning so far away.

However, the scene was already at an impasse, so something was needed to divert everyone’s attention.

Yet, the people in the convoy had a strong sense of perception and, upon hearing this, launched a ball of smoke, which blossomed into a six-petaled blue flower in the sky.

The next moment, whether it was the Glory students or the guards, they all recognized this mark.

”The six-petaled Freeze Lily is the crest of the Haiyin Clan!”

Soon after, the three off-road vehicles arrived, and a woman jumped down from the central vehicle, ”The Haiyin Clan is here to greet the junior students!”

The guards were not surprised by this; it was quite normal for the local nobles of the Star Realm to come and greet the Glory students.

Such occurrences are not every year, but it’s fairly normal for it to happen occasionally—with enough attention, they come to take a look.

However, when it comes to greetings, it isn’t something just any noble can manage.

Nobles with too low a rank are best not to come close, otherwise, it becomes flattering and is seen as disgraceful.

The Celestial Hook is considered a new Star Realm; there aren’t many nobles to begin with, and even fewer are qualified to come—the Haiyin Clan is one of them.

In fact, the last time the Haiyin Clan sent someone here was about five years ago.

However, this hasn’t formed into a customary tradition, so naturally, there’s no breach of etiquette.

This time, the clan member coming to greet was none other than Rhine.

She didn’t care about the guards’ attitude but raised her voice, ”Zhou Runan, come out to meet your aunt!”

A burly student walked out, greeted her with a carefree smile, ”Aunt Rhine, may you grow ever younger.”

On the scene, quite a few people didn’t recognize Rhine, but upon hearing this title, many immediately knew who she was.

The guards also realized why Rhine appeared here—it happened to be the year a relative was interning.

However, some of the guards’ expressions darkened, as this Zhou Runan was also Water Attribute!

As for the question of what Rhine’s status was, few who worked for the government in the Celestial Hook Star Realm were unaware.

She is the one whom the Haiyin clan holds high hopes for as the next Supreme, possessing unique opportunities.

It’s said that the Haiyin Earl has intentions of passing the title to her.

She is the Earl’s sixth daughter, and her inheritance rank is very low, but in the empire, rank is far less important than cultivation level.

Yet Rhine straightforwardly rejected the offer; she has no interest in it and doesn’t want to strain relations with her siblings.

Nobles have lost their fiefs, and inheritance rights are no longer as coveted, but there are always myopic people.

Even those in society know that Rhine is the most untouchable within the Haiyin Clan, and the guards naturally have heard this as well.

In fact, the circle of nobles isn’t large, and quite a few students know why Rhine is revered.

Rhine chatted with her nephew for a couple of sentences and noticed something amiss, ”Why does this atmosphere... seem a bit strange?”

Nearby, a quick-tongued female student recounted the earlier incident.

Upon hearing this, Rhine gave her nephew a peculiar look, ”What do you think? Will you accept the investigation?”

”I have no opinion,” Zhou Runan spread his hands, replied with a grin, ”I didn’t do it, so let them check.”

At this moment, that female student gave him a look and spoke irritably, ”This matter is clearly ambiguous.”

”Hmm,” Rhine nodded, turned to the guards, and decisively stated, ”This is my blood nephew, I am backing him!”

The guards hesitated upon hearing this; they were very aware of how powerful this woman’s background was.

Even the Supreme of the Wood Attribute couldn’t say much; he couldn’t afford to provoke the person behind Rhine.

The Marquis’s son saw this and obediently shouted, ”Senior Rhine, I am from the Xihong Clan, can you protect me?”

”Xihong Clan...” Rhine nodded thoughtfully, this clan has quite a bit of historical connection with the Haiyin Family.

”Runan, your aunt is giving you face, what do you mean?”

”Then protect him,” Zhou Runan casually replied. He didn’t have much of a relationship with the Marquis’s son, but it was purely due to less interaction.

His aunt gave him face, so he naturally didn’t mind speaking up, ”Actually, it definitely has nothing to do with him.”

Rhine nodded without hesitation, ”Then these two, I’ll protect them.”

”Rhine!” The Supreme of the Wood Attribute couldn’t stand it, ”You are interfering with military affairs!”

”Students should focus on education first,” Rhine said calmly, ”Punishment is not the objective.”

After pausing, she added, ”I’m also of Water Attribute, Lord Zi Heng, are you going to investigate me too?”

”Nonsense!” The Supreme named Zi Heng snorted coldly and turned away without looking back—you’re of the Ice Attribute!

He had already been stuck there just now, where would he dare to cause more trouble now? It was a good excuse to step down gracefully.

The Haiyin Family is just an Earl, he stood against the pressure from the Marquis and instead gave face to the Earl; no one could say he bullied the weak.

To state a more objective fact, if he didn’t leave now, he might never have another chance to retreat.

Seeing him leave, Rhine raised her voice and shouted, ”Thank you, Lord Zi Heng, for your attention.”

Zi Heng Supreme paused in his steps, but still walked away without looking back.

Rhine handled affairs far more smoothly than this group of students, watching her opponent leave, then looking at a guard.

”The alarm for Water Element fluctuations... even the Supreme can’t pinpoint it, is there a possibility of false alarms?”

The guard understood well that the more precise instruments are, the more likely they are to produce false alarms.

Anyhow, false alarms are not a major problem in wartime alerts; at worst, it’s a false alarm, failing to alert when needed is more critical.

Of course, frequent false alarms would also lead users to curse.

The guard thought for a moment before answering, ”These are the most advanced alarms, very sensitive.”

He didn’t mention that the natural environment of Celestial Blade Star is relatively harsh... anyway, figure it out yourself.

Sensitivity implies a high probability of false alarms... Rhine really caught on.

But just as she was about to speak, suddenly the alarm sounded again.

”Alert, alert! Detected abnormal Wind Element convergence, detected abnormal Wind Element convergence!”

Wind Element convergence? Eight kilometers away, five individuals hiding in a shallow pit couldn’t help but exchange glances.

Paranoid: ”?”

Granny Jia: ”?”

Qu Jianlei: ”!!”

It was obvious that his two Supreme companions assumed he had acted, after all, this mutated Wind Element can only be controlled by him.

But Qu Jianlei was truly wronged, this really wasn’t his doing, then he instinctively looked in a certain direction.

”This damn... another alert?” Just returned to the room, Zi Heng Supreme was also dumbfounded, ”How many bribes did they take?”

He was already suspicious that the previous alert was false, but how long has it been, and yet... again?

At the critical moment, Rhine spoke, ”Is there anyone with Wind Attribute in the Glory team?”

In a team of more than four hundred individuals, five people with Wind Attribute stepped forward, three of them were Guardians, two were students.

In this case, it seems the proportion of awakened Wind Attribute isn’t too low?

That’s truly not the case, as the three Wind Attribute Guardians were specifically sought after by students looking for more rewards.

The two Wind Attribute students aren’t a bad proportion either, but they were specifically cultivated by the school.

Rhine glanced at the position of the five people and very confidently declared, ”It wasn’t you five!”

Although she is A-level, she naturally received extra tips by mingling with big shots, which exceeded others’ abilities.

The guard looked at her strangely, somewhat in disbelief, ”Will you vouch for them again?”

”Listen to her,” At this moment, a voice came over the broadcast, it was the Supreme Zi Heng who had just left.

If a regular person did this behavior, they’d be accused of opportunism, but when a Supreme does it, it’s considered broad-mindedness.

At this moment, the alarm sounded again, ”Alert, alert! Detected abnormal Spiritual Power fluctuations, detected abnormal Spiritual Power fluctuations!”

”Damn...” An indistinct voice from Zi Heng Supreme came over the broadcast.

Meanwhile, Rhine’s eyes lit up slightly, instinctively looking in a direction.

In her mind, a thought told her: the abnormal Wind Element is originating from that position!

However, she only gazed for a moment before casually shifting her gaze, as if it was an unintentional action.

Yet at this moment, her mind was in turmoil: how did this thought enter her mind?

How come... there is a feeling of deja vu?
