"Well said." A thick and steady voice came out. At the same time, there was unanimous applause in the crowds. However, there was no sign of praise in it.
Ji Bai turned his head to the other side of the room and looked at the tall, middle-aged man in a linen suit who had appeared at some point.
The familiar voice, and, the long-lost face appeared.
"Mentor Manda! You’re here!" The short-haired knight, as well as the other knight who still remained conscious, instantly found their backbone to depend on, their faint, emotionless face turned excited. Without the slightest scruple, they passed through the 'Ultraman' in front of them, rolled and crawled to the middle-aged man.
They knew well that as long as they were under the eyes of this middle-aged man, they would never suffer because this tutor would not watch the students of his hall being beaten by outsiders.
It is also true that Ji Bai, who stayed inside the holster, did not obstruct the two people who passed by him in any way. Through the small hole in the gap under the light bulb, his eyes sized up the middle-aged man in plain clothes, who was not angry but lordly , and a trace of nostalgia and indistinctness flashed in his eyes.
Long time no see, Manda.
The middle-aged man named Manda in front of him was a student of Ji Bai, no, a former student exactly. Ji Bai joined the Knights of Splendor Regiment around the exact time before he achieved success and fame. At that time he was just a despondent uncle blinded by hatred after losing his wife and children to the war.
'Holy Flame Knight' Manda, whose holy martial ability is a high voltage scorching flame that can attach to the blade of his sword, which has an extremely significant increase in damage to the demon species. Due to his gold flame, Manda was bestowed the title of the knight: Holy Flame. .
He is a relatively late follower. Although Ji Bai and his age difference is very wide , the age difference does not hinder their communication. Now, Manda, as a knighthood, has been a prestigious existence in the Holy Martial Association. It can be said that Ji Bai witnessed his growth and achievement step by step.
Although Ji Bai met an acquaintance, he was not too worried that his identity would be exposed, after all, he was now in a holster and his voice was very different from the usual. As long as he was careful in his movements, he would not be noticed.
"Mentor Manda! You have to do something for us! We were carrying out our official duties over here, and this ordinary guy jumped out to obstruct us. Not only did he verbally insult us, but he also injured two of our companions! You see ......"
The short-haired knight may be extremely substandard in terms of ability and combat power, but his hypocritical skills are absolutely nothing to speak of. Look, the short-haired knight changed his expression quickly. He said with Manda unhappily, bitter and hatred. It seems that as if he has suffered a lot of grievances, and his words were deliberately distorted to cover up some of the facts, which seems that he usually does this kind of thing. You can imagine how skillful the short-haired knight is good at distorting the reality.
With such an amazing distorting skill, Ji Bai didn't understand why he came to be a knight. If he wants to get a reputation or something, wouldn't it be better to be a shiny and gorgeous actor?
"I know, you guys stand down first." Manda nodded and turned his gaze to the dazed noodle shop owner, then to the pigtailed knight and Karen who had fainted to the side. Manda gradually placed his gaze on the 'Ultraman' who stood arrogantly at the entrance of the store.
"Young man, I think you need to give me an explanation." Manda narrowed his gray eyes, his aura was aggressive as if a cobra was spitting its poison, ready to strike, so that people did not dare to look at him.
"Huh? Explain?" Ji Bai, who shouldered his hand-and-a-half sword and froze, "Old ...... This uncle, haven't you been watching the whole story secretly in the dark since the beginning of the conflict? What exactly happened during the whole thing? Don’t you really have a little mind and judge in your heart?"
In an instant, Manda's pupils tightened, the vigilance and astonishment in his eyes instantly increased greatly.
This man, with his outstanding insight, should not be underestimated.
"How dare you! Do you know who this man is? He is one of the powerful knights in the Knight of Heavenly Glory, Holy Flame Knight. I advise you to show more respect to Holy Flame Knight.” The short-haired knight shouted at Ji Bai arrogantly before Manda could say anything, which reminded Ji Bai of an idiom: "A scum becomes more powerful and prestigious depending on the power of a high-achieving and influential man.”
"Is it your turn to speak? If you dare to say everything, I will make you chew shit on the spot." Ji Bai grinned and raised the sword in his hand.
"You ......." The short-haired knight flushed angrily, but no longer said anything.
"Young man, they did not do properly in this matter. As you said, when I go back, I will make them memorize the knight's creed within three days." Manda stared closely at Ji Bai's figure and slowly spoke.
“This old Man ....... You get used to protecting your knights as always. You always rush to preempt a lighter sentence for your subordinates before I can say anything.” Ji Bai thought to himself.
Ji Bai smiled helplessly, his evaluated Manda as an upright but emotional man. Sometimes, Manda’s character was unfit for use on certain special tasks ............ “Never mind, I’m no longer the Knight of Heavenly Glory, these trivial matters have nothing to do with me. I just want to help the weak. I hate the weak being bullied by the scums. As for the interior matters about knights, I don’t want to interfere with them.” Ji Bai thought.
Just as Ji Bai dropped his sword blade and was about to turn around and walk away, a voice behind him called out to him.
"Young man, I think we should get back to the topic. As I said earlier, I will make a decision on dealing with my subordinates according to the ‘Internal Rewards and Punishments of the Order’, but you injured my two trainee knights and left without saying anything. Doesn’t that make any sense?”
"? In that case, do you continue to find trouble with me?" Ji Bai re-turned around with a reluctant smile and sized up at this former student of his.
"That's too much to say. Sorry, I just want to get justice for my own student." Manda said indifferently without being condescending.
“Well, Manda, I haven't seen you for a year, but you've learned a lot, haven't you? Now you don’t care about me anymore.” Ji Bai cursed in his heart.
