Zhang Jue was also taken aback when he saw Eira, but he was pleasantly surprised.
He had all his attention on the fishing rod, so he did not notice Eira. he did not expect to meet his apprentice.
“Master!” Eira walked forward quickly; she sounded joyful. “Why are you fishing here? Now that the two continents
are at war, the situation is quite chaotic. Aren’t you afraid of getting into trouble?”
Zhang Jue laughed and said boldly, “They can fight their battles while I fish. We have nothing to do with each other,
so why should I be afraid?”
“But—”
Eira bit her lips. She felt conflicted. “My brother is now serving the North Moana. If you insist on fishing here and
anger His Majesty, I will be put in an awkward position.”
“Alright, alright!” Zhang Jue chuckled and replied helplessly, “If you say so, I’ll go to some other places to relax.”
Zhang Jue muttered to himself. ‘Sigh, I finally felt like doing something and got interested in fishing, but I was
interrupted over and over again. That’s it. I won’t fish here anymore.”
Zhang Jue seemed unhappy when he grumbled, but he remained kind and amiable to Eira, especially the way he
looked at her. His clever disciple was his only relative left in the world.
Eira immediately cracked a smile when she heard that. She took Zhang Jue’s hand and said sweetly, “I know that
you will not make things difficult for me, Master. You’re always good to me.”
“Very well.” Zhang Jue smiled and said to Eira, “I will continue to travel the world, and I’ll look for you when I have
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe time.”
With that, Zhang Jue turned and walked away.
Eira was unwilling to let him go; she felt like asking him not to go, but she resisted the urge.
She understood her master’s personality. He liked to be free; he did not like to be troubled by trivial matters.
“Please, stay!”
Suddenly, Yang Jian spoke! Then, his figure moved to block Zhang Jue’s path.
Zhang Jue immediately stopped in his tracks. He frowned and looked at Yang Jian. “Why?”
‘Is Yang Jian angry that I hurt his royal guards and he did not want to let me go?’
Eira and Ambrose were also nervous and worried.
‘What does His Majesty want? Hasn’t he calmed yet?’
Yang Jian showed a slight smile and said, “You’ve managed to arrange a simple formation to trap my incompetent
subordinates. Your methods are simply breathtaking. What’s your name?”
Yang Jian, like Zhang Jue, was an arrogant person. Yang Jian would never speak so politely under usual
circumstances.
Yang Jian was still annoyed that they had lost on their first attempt in attacking Lilydale City. He was worried as he
did not know how to break Darryl’s formations and traps. Jiang Wushaung had also seen Zhang Jue’s formation, and
he was keen to recruit Zhang Jue.
Yang Jian thought that their victory at Lilydale City might come easy, after all.
“My name is Zhang Jue,” Zhang Jue responded with indifference.
Yang Jian was taken aback momentarily, and then he was ecstatic.
That man was Zhang Jue! Yang Jian chuckled discreetly.
Thousands of years ago, Zhang Jue had led an army of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and shot to fame on all the nine
continents. So how could Yang Jian not know about him?
Yang Jian was shocked, and at the same time, Zhang Jue’s gaze got even hotter.
In the next second, Yang Jian said earnestly, “Oh, you are Senior Zhang. I’ve admired you for a long time, Senior
Zhang—you are a legend! Would you like to conquer the nine continents with me and create a great cause for all
ages?”
Yang Jian’s eyes were filled with urgency!
He needed talented people if he wanted to conquer the other continents. He had enough generals to fight for him,
but he needed someone in the military to make plans and arrange the troops.
Zhang Jue was brilliantly resourceful; Yang Jian thought he was most suitable as his military adviser!
Did he say conquer the nine continents with him? Zhang Jue frowned.
Then, Zhang Jue smiled faintly. “I’m sorry, I’m not interested.”
If it were a thousand years ago, Zhang Jue would have been tempted to do that. However, after he was imprisoned
for a thousand years within Lu Bu’s ancient tomb and experienced life and death, Zhang Jue had become at ease
with many things.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA grand life was only an ideal dream, and all Zhang Jue wanted was to travel the world freely.
‘What?’
Everyone around was stunned to hear Zhang Jue’s response.
‘Did this person just reject His Majesty’s decree?
Yang Jian was very embarrassed. He immediately saw Eira, who was next to him, and he had an idea.
“Senior Zhang.” Yang Jian looked sincere when he persuaded Zhang Jue. “I know that you might not care about the
disputes between the mainlands, but you have an apprentice who would come with me to every battle. She might
encounter all kinds of dangers. As her master, aren’t you worried about her safety?”
Then, Yang Jian continued to say, “As long as you are willing, I will install you as my military officer, and you’ll be
commanding the three armies on my behalf. You’ll also only report to me. How about that?”
Yang Jian could see that Zhang Jue adored Eira. As long as he used Eira as an excuse, Zhang Jue would definitely
not refuse him.
Whoa!
Noises echoed around them, and all eyes were gathered on Zhang Jue. They were surprised, and some had mixed
feelings about that.
It was glorious to be personally invited by the Emperor to join the army division.
Zhang Jue pondered for a few more seconds. He looked at Eira and finally took a deep breath, and nodded. “Very
well!”
