Chapter 1117: Chapter 1117 The Unchangeable Rough Nature

"Boom!" A thunderclap on a sunny day, and you felt instantly that the sky darkened and the universe turned upside down.

"He... how did he die..." At this moment, you felt like crying without tears, your face trembling slightly due to the irrepressible horror.

Seeing your grieving expression, she couldn’t help but sneer in her heart.

She said indifferently: "The people of Yema Village were almost all wiped out overnight. According to a thief who escaped, that night a man with blood-red eyes and a body shrouded in black aura appeared out of nowhere, killed many people with a flick of his hand, and then tortured Li Yun to death."

"Boom! Boom!!"

You collapsed instantly.

You silently questioned the heavens, your expression as painful as it could be, feeling as if your own parents had died.

"Young Master, are you alright?" Akema hurried to support you as you staggered, looking very concerned.

"I’m fine, I just want to find a place and a shoulder to cry on."

Saying that, you walked towards the female general, planning to lean on her shoulder.

However, she was already prepared and casually pulled over a strong soldier, letting you rest your head against his stomach—alas, there was no helping it; you were too short, and the soldier was too tall.

"People like him dying is a cleansing; Young Master, you should make fewer friends like that in the future to avoid making the Prime Minister and the General unhappy."

What could you say? You could only swallow your tears and keep your worries to yourself.

Thus, with nowhere else to go, you could only travel to the Imperial Academy in Chang’an in a small carriage, guarded by a team of escorts.

Along the way, you thought a lot. Now that Lei Xiu is dead and your own body destroyed, you could only continue being Lei Xiu from now on.

Fortunately, you were naturally open-minded, and the current treatment was not bad either. After feeling depressed for a couple of days, you returned to normal and also secretly decided to change yourself, to make everyone look at you with respect!

Anyone living in the Three Great Human Empires knew of the Imperial Academy, which was said to have been personally established by the Father God. Every four years, the Father God would perform a miracle to bless the students graduating from the Academy. The graduates of the Imperial Academy are the elite of the Human Empire, either fighting on the front lines or striving for the welfare of humanity.

Due to the ongoing fierce battle between the Human Legion and the Undead Nomadic Tribes, the Imperial Academy was going to expand its enrolment temporarily. Any student able to pass the teachers’ examinations had a chance to enter the Academy.

Outstanding performers could graduate immediately and go to the front lines to fight and build a distinguished career.

Of course, Lei Xiaochen did not intend for Lei Xiu to fight on the front lines; he only wanted to use this opportunity to let Lei Xiu enter the Imperial Academy for higher education.

The entry threshold for the Imperial Academy was very high. There was no distinction of power here; the teachers valued the students’ abilities and character. If both were excellent, the Academy, upon admitting them, would also bring blessings and support to their families.

Originally, Lei Xiu’s character would absolutely disqualify him from entering the Imperial Academy, but now with the expansion, the requirements for students had been somewhat relaxed, so Lei Xiaochen spared no effort to first get Lei Xiu into the College of Yanluo, and then transfer to the Imperial Academy.

The Xuanqin Empire was the most powerful among the Three Great Human Empires. The human gods created a temple in Chang’an to communicate with the Lower Realm and send their warriors, the legendary Angels.

Chang’an was the spiritual capital of the Three Great Human Empires, and also the sanctified land all Father God’s followers aspired towards. Along the way, you saw numerous devout followers repeatedly reciting psalm-like scriptures and kneeling and praying skywards.

"Do they really think the Father God can see them doing this?" You popped your round head out of the carriage window and asked the female general beside you. To tell the truth, after knowing her for several days, you still didn’t know her name, and she clearly had no interest in telling you.

"Father God is omnipresent, he always sees everything you do," she said, ignoring you and muttering to herself.

All the people of the Empire were followers of the Father God, with only a very few atheists like you. However, you didn’t dare to show any disrespect to the Father God, because He truly existed.

At that moment, the pilgrims and passersby on the road suddenly stirred, and you saw everyone kneel down, turning to ask the female general. However, you were even more astounded to see that Nina had already dismounted and, with her hands crossed in front of her erect chest, was bowing deeply towards the blue sky.

"What’s going on?"

"Look, Young Master, it’s an angel!" Akema worshipped the Mastiff God, so he wasn’t particularly interested in the so-called Father God.

You looked up and saw a group of bird-like beings flying in the sky, bare-chested with white wings, wearing only white trousers, and a golden halo above their heads.

"Good heavens! They really are bird-men, how extraordinary."

At that moment, you were like a country bumpkin seeing a noblewoman, your eyes gleaming with greed. Unknown to others, dirty thoughts flashed through your mind: "Damn, if I could catch one and then tear off their wings to attach to myself, wouldn’t I be able to fly? Hmm, I wonder if that would work. Heh, it would be great if it did."

As the angels gradually disappeared into the distant sky, people stood up again. The female general, seeing you and Akema still sitting in the carriage without coming down, grew angry: "Young Master Lei Xiu, seeing a Divine Envoy demands a kneeling salute. Don’t you know this basic common sense?"

You nonchalantly shrugged your shoulders: "Hey, I don’t care about that. They don’t even know I exist. Besides, what kind of salute should I give them? They’re just God’s messengers, nothing impressive. Wait until I..."

As you spoke, your boastful nature took over again.

The female general, struggling to repress the urge to hit you, waved her hand and ordered the soldiers to continue.

"Hey, hey, why won’t you listen to me? What I’m saying is pearls of wisdom, true words that could ensure you a prosperous future and a long life."

Ignoring such men was a valuable experience and lesson the female general had summed up after spending a few days with you.

Seeing her ignoring you, you also shifted your gaze away in disin

terest and looked at the scenery. The Magic Circles of Qinglan Nation and the Xuanqin Empire were incompatible, and as a foreigner like you, you couldn’t obtain the rights to use Xuanqin Empire’s Magic Circle, a precaution between nations to avoid unnecessary incidents.

Two days later at noon, escorted by the female general, you finally arrived at the Imperial City Chang’an of the Xuanqin Empire.

From afar, you could see the imposing and substantial outer walls of the Imperial City Chang’an.
