Golden Dragon Swordsman S2
Raising Brother

King Lin Yon Jun's laughter stopped, then a question came out of him. “Golden Dragon Warrior, I think your arrival this time must not be a coincidence.” The face of King Lin Yon Jun turned serious. “You must have seen for yourself how the conditions outside the palace. The kingdom has just been attacked! And stupidly, we do not know at all what the purpose of the attack is and who the perpetrator of the attack is.”

In his eyes Arya's face, he saw the yellow-haired young man nodding slowly. Then he heard the young man answer. “Before I apologize, Your Honor. My arrival actually really wants to explain what happened here.”

King Lin Yon Jun nodded, he could see the impression on the young man as disappointed and overwhelmed by something. “You don't have to call me that. No need to hesitate, just call Jun Gege. I've considered you like my own brother.”

“Eh.” Arya sighed, she was shocked at the young King's statement before her. He saw King Lin Yon Jun and then his gaze turned to all the members of the kingdom who were also shocked and astonished. Arya sighed before saying. “I am just a lowly commoner. How do you raise a brother? It doesn't feel right that I received such a big award.”

King Lin Yon Jun smiled, he did know a little bit of Arya's humble personality. For him Arya is a good young man, which is why he does not care about their status at all. He actually also wanted to get to know the young man before him even further. Being able to establish a good relationship with Arya was something that he had hoped for, especially if he managed to get Arya to agree to be his personal bodyguard, it would definitely be beneficial for his kingdom.

King Lin Yon Jun's right hand moved, then patted Arya on the shoulder. Still with a raised smile, this young King then said. “You have contributed many times to me, as well as to this kingdom. What's wrong with me taking you as my brother? Actually I still want you to be my retainer, but I understand you're a martial artist. That's why I won't force you. But for that one wish you must want!"

Without waiting for an answer from Arya, King Lin Yon Jun turned his head towards General Yong We, asking for the general's sword. Then suddenly this young King scratched his right palm with the tip of the sword so as to bleed.

“I hope you also want to scratch your palm.”

Arya frowned, she knew what King Lin Yon Jun was going to do. He awkwardly turned his gaze toward all the high-ranking officials of the kingdom. Seeing General Yong We smile, Commander Chong Quon and the Medicinal King nodded.

Then he looked back at the young king before him. Although he already knew what King Lin Yon Jun meant, Arya still asked. “For what Your Majesty?”

“Gore it!” Desperate King Lin Yon Jun.

Arya nodded. By using the tip of the index finger of his right hand and then scratched his left palm until it bleeds.

Everyone's eyes were wide-eyed not because of what Arya did. Scratching skin or any object using fingertips that flowed Qi is not surprising. But what came out of the skin of the youth's palms was what had astonished everyone. The fragrant and slightly glowing white liquid that came out from the palm of Arya's hand was what made them all confused.

“What are you doing? What white liquid is it?” Asked King Lin Yon Jun while observing Arya's palm.

Arya scratched her hair awkwardly. “Didn't His Majesty ask me to scratch my palm?”

“Yes, but what I want is your blood not that white liquid.”

While chuckling slowly Arya replied. “This is my blood Your Majesty. The difference if His Majesty's blood is red, then my blood is white.”

Everyone was more astonished to hear the words of Arya. Even the King of Medicine himself who knew a lot about the structure of the human body also seemed to frown. Arya looked at him with eyes that showed admiration.

King Lin Yon Jun suppressed his herding sense. Then tightly stick his right palm to Arya's left palm. Then his hands were raised high into the air. And because he could not stem the feeling of his heart, he cried out to the King of the Goading Kingdom,

“Today under your witness, I raise a brother against the young man who has ever contributed to me and the kingdom.”

Arya looked awkward, once again she saw everyone there. This time the royal high-ranking officials put his right hand to the chest in homage to him. He also saw his comrades from the Lightning Valley Sect who were smiling towards him.

King Lin Yon Jun smiled. “My blood and your blood have been mixed. And with this you have become my brother. No need to be awkward, now in this kingdom your position is the same as mine.” Pulling Aryan's hand, the young king said. “Let's celebrate this.” Speak with spirit.

Arya was pulled towards the royal banquet hall. There everyone sat in the chair provided. Not long after, dozens of waiters came with food and drinks dishes. After serving food and drinks on the long banquet table, the servants immediately bowed before exiting the room.

After the meal was over, King Lin Yon Jun suddenly asked. “Brother, you said you were going to explain something. So now start saying what you want to explain it.”

Arya raised her gaze. The highlight of his eyes was glaring solemnly at King Lin Yon Jun. Being stared at like that made King Lin Yon Jun's chest flutter. This young king tried to fumble over what Arya really wanted to talk about. Because it cannot wait for Arya who is still silent looking at him, then jumped he said in a serious voice as well,

“What's my brother? Why don't you explain it and look at me like that?!”

As if waking up from sleep, Arya was stunned. The young man smiled and shook his hand on the table.

The momentary atmosphere became silent. Everyone looked at what Arya had brought out. On the table are now stretched fruits that are all oddly shaped. However they recognized that the fruits were a kind of resource that contained abundant Qi energy.

Arya's gaze then turned to King Lin Yon Jun, “Your Majesty, it looks like you have a unique body. But unfortunately it is not good for you.”

Arya had indeed known King Lin Yon Jun for a long time even before the young King was crowned king. But only this time was he able to see what was inside King Lin Yon Jun actually, which had secretly alarmed him.

King Lin Yon Jun even laughed. “Well or not depends on the owner. I already know which way you're talking. Don't think about it, now quickly explain what you want to explain about this attack.”

Actually King Lin Yon Jun secretly also felt astonished, why Arya could find out about the problems in his body. But the young King thought that Arya might get information about the problem of his body from King Medicine or Huang She. That was why King Lin Yon Jun was calm and could still laugh.

Arya sighed, “I can't help you right now. But someday I promise to work on healing His Majesty.”

King Lin Yon Jun immediately cut. “Stop calling me that. Now we are brothers. Call me Jun Gege!”

Arya nodded. “Alright, now I'll explain.”

Before explaining, Arya first apologized and then this young man briefly explained about the events that occurred in the Goading kingdom. He explained that it was he who had put everyone to sleep, he also said that he was also the one who secretly crushed all the Swordsmen of the black stream following the demon beasts disguised in this kingdom.

Everyone fell silent, put on a fine ear listening to Arya's explanation. After the young man finished with his description, King Lin Yon Jun then asked a question that was actually there in the minds of all the royal officials,

“So all those veiled people are your people? Who exactly are they? are they also the people from Lightning Valley?”

Arya shakes. “Sorry, I can't explain much about them.”

Although everyone was dissatisfied with Arya's reply, they did not dare to act disrespectfully before King Lin Yon Jun.

“Alright, whoever they are is no longer important. I believe in you, Xian'er. What matters now do you think there are still intruders in this kingdom?”

Once again Arya shook her head, “They have me slopped clean. You don't have to worry.”

King Lin Yon Jun and everyone frowned. Arya's answer was as if it were an attitude of bragging. But that's not the problem, though, but the words of Arya earlier seemed to show that there was no other party who helped him in cleaning up the black warriors following the demon animals that infiltrated this kingdom.

Seeing everyone looking at him in full search, Arya only realized the mistake of his words earlier. “I'm sorry, I don't mean that I killed them but the veiled people helped me too.”

That said then was General Yong We, “Pardon my presumption, Your Majesty.” The General lowered his head towards King Lin Yon Jun.

“Please general.” King Lin Yon Jun said, allowing General Yong We to open his voice.

“Thank you Your Highness” General Yong We turned his gaze to Arya. “If I may ask, how can you recognize the intruders? Are you and the veiled people sure it will not be wrong to lower the hand to kill the wrong person.?”

Arya smiled, she can understand the concern of the General. Then he answered. “Before starting the cleaning, I have prepared everything including how to recognize them in disguise. But me and the veiled people need to say, we feel guilty because however the cleanup has cost at least the soldiers who died as a result of the fight and the buildings destroyed.”

King Lin Yon Jun immediately replied, “No need to apologize, I should be the one to thank you guys. I believe you have done everything with great consideration. But regarding casualties and damage, it was already natural to happen in battle.”

King Lin Yon Jun sighed for a moment, then continued his words. “Your services deserve an award. But it's a pity those veiled people don't want to show themselves. Therefore, I will give you this award, Xian'er.”

“Services are only His Majesty's services. Just a beautiful memento. For me, service does not mean expecting a reward.” Answer Arya anyway.

King Lin Yon Jun's eyes glared, he seemed to dislike being called ‘Yang Mulia’ by Arya. But Arya just smiled back, he did not feel good to call a king by name alone especially in front of his subordinates.

King Lin Yon Jun held onto the young man's shoulder. “You can no longer refuse. It is an obligation for the Goading kingdom to thank the people who have made great service to us.” he said then continued, “I will make a statue of you that will be placed in the middle of the city as a reminder of all your great services to the kingdom and this city. What say?”

“Haah.” Arya sighed, her eyes widened in surprise at King Lin Yon Jun's words, “Thank you Your Majesty, thank you... But it's very excessive.”

“This has been my decision.” King Lin Yon Jun said with a smile and a pat on Arya's shoulder.
