The Wolf Girl Bit the Heir Again

This place is close to the Cinderpeak Range, and the warm wind and rain arrive early after spring. As far as the eye can see, it is a scene of pink and green willows.

However, Magistrate Cullen was too preoccupied to appreciate the spring scenery in front of him. Seeing that the waiter was still looking up, he couldn't help shouting.

"Don't look up at the sky. They came here on horseback."

The waiter was surprised:"Don't adepts know how to fly?"

The people living in this county are ordinary people. They have never seen the adepts move mountains and reclaim the sea with their own eyes. They only know that those who open arcane core must go to the Cinderpeak Range, enter order, and train for ascension.

If they train for ascension, why can't they fly yet?

"Beyond the Cinderpeak Range, it is the mortal realm. You cannot use arcane current indiscriminately, otherwise the world would have been in chaos."

The waiter nodded and suddenly remembered that there was a juggling show at the county street in the afternoon. He had heard the performer could vault over walls like a bird. I wonder if the adepts on the mountain had ever seen a real dancer?

He glanced at Magistrate Cullen and immediately shut his mouth knowingly.

In early spring and February, my lord was sweating coldly on his forehead, which showed that he was not in a good mood. It was not a good time to upset him.

Not only was it not wonderful, Magistrate Cullen was so worried that his hair turned white.

Three days ago, a secret message came from the Dawnfire Order, asking him to secretly search for a woman in the county.

The secret message said that the woman was nearly sixteen years old and had no father or mother. There was a red birthmark on the side of her neck, about half an inch long, with a sharp top and a round bottom. The color was light on the outside and dark on the inside, and the shape was like the candle flame held by the legendary Emberwyrm.

Just as no one has seen the Emberwyrm in thousands of years, Magistrate Cullen followed the pattern given by the Dawnfire Order and searched all over the county, but found no candle flame at all.

Now the people from the Dawnfire Order are about to arrive. There are seven or eight poor orphans found by the subordinates, but none of them meet the requirements.

Magistrate Cullen raised his hands against the wind to wipe his sweat, silently comforting himself in his heart.

He did his best to obey fate and found everything he could find. It must be that the pattern drawn by the Dawnfire Order is too exaggerated. The birthmark is not a tattoo. Who in the world can have such a beautiful pattern on their body?

-

Adrian Vale lifts up the plain gauze on his hat and looks into the distance along the flowing stream.

When he turned his head, a neat line appeared on the side of his neck, and a crimson birthmark grew on it, which was particularly conspicuous.

Half an inch long, pointed at the top and rounded at the bottom. The color is light on the outside and deep on the inside. The shape is like the candle flame held by the Emberwyrm.

By the stream, a young man and woman were drinking from their horses.

They started later than Adrian Vale, but they are a few years older than him. Their facial features are very similar, and you can tell at a glance that they are twins.

At this time, both of them looked at him with playful expressions.

The woman said:"Senior Apprentice has almost caught up with mentor in cultivating his character. He is about to meet the person he thinks about day and night, but he can still keep his expression unchanged."

"That's because you don't know senior apprentice well enough. This time when you go down the mountain, he has seen the rough and treacherous people in the poor mountains and rivers. Have you ever seen him frown?"The man spoke without any hesitation. Seeing his sister staring at him, he pretended to shrug,"Look what I am doing. You and I are also people who come from this kind of place. Why don't you call yourself a unruly person?"

"You are called a traitor. Have you forgotten what mentor said? Be careful what you say and do when you go out, and don't cause trouble."

The two began to quarrel as they spoke, but left Adrian Vale aside.

Adrian Vale smiled and said nothing and did not try to break up the fight.

The order is strict about rank. This kind of bickering doesn't last long. The older one only needs to mention the rules and the quarrel will turn into a one-sided scolding.

Sure enough, after a few quarrels, the noise gradually died down, and when it started again it turned into a man's wailing:"Senior Apprentice, look at her! You must never do this to your sister in the future."

When he mentioned that person, the smile on Adrian Vale's face slowly faded.

He was distracted.

Of course you have to abide by the rules, but...

After finding his sister, he had no choice but to try his best to make up for what he had owed her over the past sixteen years. How could he be willing to quarrel with her?

No matter how naughty she is, it's because she grew up in the countryside and no one taught her etiquette. As long as he patiently guides and educates her, his sister will not refuse to listen, so why should he put on the airs of an elder brother and suppress her with family rules?

I don’t know how she is doing now. I encountered many arrogant and vicious people during my trip down the mountain. Has she been bullied by them?

Seeing that Adrian Vale was silent, the two siblings kept silent and gathered together to quietly observe his expression.

Under the shade of a tree in the distance, the young man was wearing a narrow-sleeved white robe, with a straight posture, as if there was an invisible sword on his back stretching his spine all the time. No one had ever seen him groveling since he was a child.

He was striking enough to make people stare. When he first came down from the mountain, he could make the children on the roadside look crazy. He would pull his mother's sleeve and say,"There is a fairy."

His expression was like tea that had been filtered through a few channels, restrained and light. mentor taught him that emotions and desires should not be shown on his face, which has been quite effective in the past few years. The two disciples looked closely and finally caught the sadness in his eyebrows.

The two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Look, he is still a young man. How can he not be worried when encountering such a big thing?

They had made a bet when they were going down the mountain. This trip was in a hurry.

Busy, but of great importance, senior apprentice is leaving order for the first time. He always looks for opportunities to vent his emotions, and he will definitely fail halfway.

Unexpectedly, three days had passed, and Adrian Vale was not tired during the journey. The environment of the hotel where he rested was simple and dirty, and he was not angry at the gossipy man in the hotel who saw that the birthmark on his neck was as bright as blood.

After leaving the hotel, those ignorant fools followed them and robbed the four mentors and apprentices as ordinary rich people. They were frightened by mentor's attack and ran away in a mess.

The absurdity and comedy of the scene made both siblings bend over with laughter, but senior apprentice only raised the corners of his mouth slightly. You must know that he is only sixteen years old, and mentor is already in his late teens. Even mentor's expression is brighter than his.

From then on, senior apprentice began to walk around wearing a silk hat. With the plain gauze covering his face and birthmark, ordinary people finally no longer looked at him in surprise. This was a good thing, but the bad thing was that his companions could not guess his mood.

Things must be reversed when extreme, and when they are accumulated, they will be released. At first, they just thought that it was rare for senior apprentice to break through the power, and they wanted to watch the fun. Later, they began to worry that Adrian Vale was holding back something wrong, or that once it broke out, the intense fire would attack the heart and backfire on them.

For a moment, there was no words, only the gurgling stream, and the two siblings were silently arguing with each other.

The younger brother shook his head and sighed, put his hands behind his back and sullen his face, imitating Adrian Vale's youthful and mature look.

The elder sister raised her eyebrows and glared. Seeing that he was getting more and more arrogant, she simply picked up the stream water and poured it at him. The younger brother was not angry and immediately fought back.

The four people's horses were drinking water nearby, and the water was splashing. The horses were already tired from running all the way, but they couldn't bear the disturbance and suddenly snorted and plunged into the depths of the water.

Adrian Vale's horse walked in front, with a saddle bag hanging on its back, which contained a palm-sized wooden box. He would take it out every night before going to bed and put it beside his pillow very preciously, but never opened it.

Two classmates asked curiously. He only said that it was a meeting gift for his sister, but did not say what was in the box.

At this moment, the saddle bag slid down with the movement of the horse, and the fastening water washed away the tether, and it was on the verge of collapse for a moment.

Adrian Vale was the first to notice and set off immediately. He could not use arcane current after leaving the Cinderpeak Range, and he could not arrive in time even if he ran wildly. He had to raise his voice and shout:"Shaw siblings, hold the horses!"

The situation was already urgent, but he abided by the etiquette and politely addressed people before asking for help. After saying this, the horses almost reached the middle of the stream.

Kellan Shaw was so close that he wanted to run into the water to grab the reins. He was the most annoying thing about the horse, and he swung his tail to avoid it, causing more water splashes.

Mira Shaw called out, and the other horses finally stopped, but Adrian Vale turned a deaf ear.

Just as the saddle bag was about to be washed away into the water, suddenly a whistle was heard from a high place in the distance. The whistle was long and distant, startling the birds in the mountains.

The horse chirped in response, finally stopped losing its temper, and returned to the shore obediently.

On the other side of the stream, the hillside was steep. A man in white robes stood on the boulder at the top of the slope with his hands behind his hands. After confirming that the horse was safe, he tapped his foot lightly and jumped down the mountain.

adept on the Cinderpeak Range has opened arcane core, and its meridians have been cleansed and washed by arcane current. Even if arcane current cannot be used on the mortal realm, its skills are far superior to ordinary people. This person is the Dawnfire Orderelder. He has profound skills. Although he walks in the mountains, he feels like walking on flat ground.

The low trees and rugged rocks all became a foothold for him to use. The white sleeves of his robe were fluttering, falling together, rising and falling again, and he was in front of them in the blink of an eye.

Adrian Vale ran all the way to the stream, gently took off his saddle bag and held it in his arms. After confirming that the wooden box inside was not filled with water, he shouted in an uncertain voice:"mentor."

the Shaw siblings also called mentor. As the chief culprit of irritating the horses, both of them stood in silence with their hands lowered and spoke in extremely low voices.

The man in white robe did not stop and went straight to lead the horses. The four horses had been tamed by him since childhood. The trip was in a hurry and there was no time for them to get familiar with outsiders. It was already extremely difficult to endure the quarrel until now.

After calming the horse, he turned back and warned:"Go around this mountain and twenty miles ahead is Greywillow County. The night is long and there are many dreams. As soon as I receive the person, I will set off back to order. Don't make trouble again, so as not to cause trouble."

mentor's tone was gentle as usual, but the three of them did not dare to neglect and responded in unison.

It wasn't until mentor walked away that the Shaw siblings relaxed his body and went to apologize to Adrian Vale dejectedly.

Adrian Vale put the wooden box back into the saddlebag and smiled:"It doesn't matter, I am also responsible for this."

He is good-looking. When he smiles, the corners of his mouth are slightly curved, and the brilliance in her eyes is very confusing.

Kellan Shaw was dazzled by his smile, thinking that the matter had been revealed, and opened his mouth to say something witty.

But he was slapped hard on the back.

"Senior Apprentice doesn't pursue the issue, it's because he is generous, and our etiquette must be thorough."

Mira Shaw held down Kellan Shaw's head and solemnly saluted Adrian Vale.

She lowered her eyes, thinking about the order competition the year before last.

Before the ceremony started, adept, a member of the North Ember Order, uttered arrogant words, which not only humiliated Adrian Vale, but also mentioned his mother, the Dawnfire OrderHigh WardenSeraphina Vale.

Later, I heard that someone cut off one of his hands during a martial arts contest.

There are regulations in the order competition. The opponent cannot be killed or maimed until the point of the martial arts competition, unless there are special circumstances.

the Shaw siblings was not at the scene and did not know the inside story. When he told Adrian Vale the news, he was quite surprised.

Originally, this incident was just a minor incident, not worth her taking to heart.

But Mira Shaw can never forget one detail.

That day they went to Adrian Vale's residence to report the incident, but he didn't say anything.

Before leaving, she seemed to feel something and looked back.

Adrian Vale was standing under the magnolia tree in the courtyard, looking in the direction of the martial arts field in trance.

He laughed like this at that time.

She still doesn't dare to think about what senior apprentice is laughing at.

Mira Shaw's parents died when he was young, and he and his younger brother grew up dependent on each other in the mortal realm. After seeing the warmth and coldness of human relationships, he understood a truth very early.

People who hold grudges are terrible.

"We are all from the same sect, why should we be so polite... Let's go, don't keep mentor waiting."

Adrian Vale's warm voice sounded in his ears. Mira Shaw looked up and saw that he was leaning slightly and did not accept the full gift.

The smile on his face had long since faded, because he was not used to receiving solemn salutations from the elderly. For a moment, he didn't even bother to say polite words, he just wanted the two of them to get up quickly.

Senior Apprentice attaches great importance to etiquette. If you do enough etiquette, your anger will disappear.

Mira Shaw caught the confusion in her eyes and knew that the matter was over. He smiled at him and went to lead the horse with Kellan Shaw.

Kellan Shaw was no longer being grabbed by the back of his neck by his sister, and then he spoke out:"Senior Apprentice is right, don't keep mentor waiting, and don't let little junior sister wait too long. The treasure in the saddlebag has been protected all the way, and it has to be delivered to someone else's hands to feel at ease. Go quickly, go quickly."

Adrian Vale couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

There was the rustle of the wind in the mountains and forests in his ears, and the gurgling sound of the stream beside him. He stopped where he was.

Looking forward to the journey, the moment of recognition finally came, but he was a little timid about being close to home.

Since getting off the Cinderpeak Range, they have been riding horses and galloping all the way. The places they visited have become increasingly remote, and the towns on both sides of the road have become more and more backward.

By now, the scene in Adrian Vale's mind when he recognized his sister had already undergone earth-shaking changes.

To describe it, it would probably be - a remote county town, a dilapidated home, adoptive parents with vicissitudes of appearance, and her sallow complexion.

The two people holding hands and looking at each other must have very similar eyebrows. When brother and sister recognize each other, they naturally want to bow, but he will help her up in time to prevent her from touching the ground with her knees and causing her to suffer further grievances. If she sobs, he will hand her a veil to wipe her tears.

What to do next?

mentor told her to leave immediately after meeting each other. I wonder if my sister can withstand the fatigue of traveling after sixteen years in the mortal realm.

I don’t know if there are more dangers lurking in secret on the way back....After all, they went down the mountain to look for people this time because of"that thing". When they came here, the journey was unexpectedly smooth. Except for meeting the incompetent group of robbers, it was uneventful.

Did that group of robbers really just show up by chance? What will happen on the way back?

Should I tell my sister these things?

Adrian Vale thought more and more, and tied the saddle bag back on the horse with great concern.

As soon as the knot was tightened, the ornament on the bridle suddenly broke.

The jade ring fell to the ground and broke in half, and a moment of confusion flashed across his face.

Before it was a slipped saddlebag, now it is a broken jade ring.

This is not a good sign.
