Eps. 75 — Request Jian Chen
“Young people if you want to sign in, you have to show an identifier instead of a letter like this?” the gatekeeper dismissed Jian Chen who was about to go to the clan government area.
Jian Chen scratched his head, he had no identification marks now other than the academy disciple badge. Jian Chen had already repeatedly said that he had been invited by the Clan Chief but the guard did not believe him.
“It was a letter from Miss Miou to me, there was written Chairman Niu Zen invited me in earlier..”.
“Maap, but it's not enough, young man you better have to come back next time!”
Jian Chen scratched his head again, he was a little annoyed at the guard but on the other hand the reason they were on standby was right. After the coup was over the officers became wary of anyone who wanted to enter the clan area.
Jian Chen wanted to turn around but the melodious voice of someone was heard saying his name, she was Niu Meily, the direct daughter of the Clan Chief.
The guard immediately lowered his head respectfully looking at the arrival of his clan princess.
“Thank God you are okay.” Jian Chen smiled warmly and replied to his exclamation.
“This is thanks to you, thank you for helping me and my mother before. Grandfather and father have been waiting for you inside.” Meily smiled shyly while playing her hair child, the girl could not look at Jian Chen for a long time because she was always nervous.
The gatekeeper gulped when he found out that the young man in his head was indeed invited by the Clan Chief, he also turned out to be close to Meily.
Ziyun did not come for long because he had also previously intended to welcome Jian Chen. Just like Meily, the graceful girl thanked him.
When Jian Chen entered the ruling area of the clan, there were many pairs of eyes that saw him especially the servants and guards. Jian Chen smiled awkwardly, naturally he understood the intent of that gaze.
Indeed, when with Meily and Ziyun, the two women have always been a concern for many people, especially because of their beauty.
Meily has a beauty that is difficult to find by women in general, just looking at her makes the men instantly vibrate their hearts while Ziyun is also no less beautiful and sweet, wherever he went Ziyun's appearance always looked graceful be it her clothes or gestures.
Jian Chen himself might be said to have a beautiful face, let alone his domineering golden eyes making him look charming in the eyes of girls.
Jian Chen was taken into one of the great halls of the Niu clan, where Niu Qisha, Niu Zen, Niu Yuan and Miou Lin were seated in their seats.
Niu Qisha was in the most magnificent seat or could also be said to be a throne while the others sat beside him. Miou Lin might be different because of an important guest so her seat was next to the others.
“Greetings clan head..” Jian Chen saluted him, Ziyun and Meily both sides did the same.
“No need to be formal like that, I heard you were the one who saved my granddaughter and daughter-in-law, is that right?” Niu Qisha spoke softly, staring at Jian Chen from the ground up.
“Yes, Chief, I'm the one who helped him.
Niu Qisha stroked his beard, he still did not expect the Jian Chen in question to be young, his age might be the same as his granddaughter.
Although it is not very clear they are sure the archer is still young looking from his body and face. Niu Qisha was sure that person was the youngster in front of him.
Niu Zen even reported the shocking thing again, which was about Jian Chen being able to use his clan's Moon Sword Technique.
Niu Zen smiled and stood up from his chair. “Brother Jian, you have helped my family twice, me and my family have not thanked you.”
The Niu Zen family was deeply indebted to Jian Chen, in addition to healing his wife he had also saved his daughter. Niu Zen bowed respectfully to Jian Chen as well as Niu Yuan.
Miou Lin smiled awkwardly watching that, he could not speak anything after seeing Jian Chen's strength directly let alone the cruelty of the young man.
“I just did what I was supposed to do, Clan Leader, Meily is my friend I should have helped her when in danger.”.
“Brother Jian, if you hadn't helped my wife and daughter then maybe my father wouldn't have come to help this coup. I may also be dead by now.”
It is true what Niu Zen said, logically if Meily and her mother did not immediately tell Niu Qisha maybe now this coup has succeeded.
“So so...” Niu Qisha briefly observed the conversation and began to know that Jian Chen's role was indeed very large. “Son, I don't know your identity regardless of your name and clan. Before that I say a big thank you because you have saved my clan.”
“Chairman need not hesitate, I just want to help..”.
Niu Qisha smiled, becoming interested in Jian Chen's temperament. “We from the Niu clan have not wanted to owe anyone a debt of gratitude, thanks are a must but we will not be satisfied with it. Son, tell me what your request is, money, resources, martial techniques, I will give it to you according to the amount you requested?”
Jian Chen subtly rejected this but Niu Qisha repeatedly forced him, it seemed like it was the tradition of the Niu clan to repay their every favor to the person who helped him.
“Then I have a request but this may be difficult to grant.” Jian Chen finally relented but on the other hand he did have a request for Niu Qisha.
Jian Chen then explained that he needed the strength of Niu Qisha to protect the Jian clan from the attacks that would slaughter his clan later.
He did not explain all that to her but only said that he wanted Niu Qisha and the other Niu clan troops ready to help Jian Chen when he needed help later.
“Hm? Is there a group that's after you or is there a war going on?” The old man did not understand Jian Chen needed his clan's army.
“This can't be said now but that's my request, if the Chairman objected to grant it I don't have a problem.” Jian Chen realized his request was difficult to fulfill and risked losing the lives of many people but at least he was relieved to have expressed his wish.
“No, it's not like that, I don't mind going to help you or deploying an army of the Niu clan. It's just that we need an explanation to understand the situation.”
Niu Zen and Miou Lin were also surprised to hear Jian Chen's request, they immediately understood that Jian Chen had a big problem on his mind.
Jian Chen finally explained that he had thought that one year from now there was the possibility of an organization wanting to attack the Jian clan. Jian Chen used the ‘approximate’ alibi to cover himself who knew the future events.
