After entering, Charlie did not dare to speak up, but just stood there, head facing the floor, as if he was staring at a flower on the ground

As time passed by, the old man continued to look at the scenery outside the , as if there was so nice to look at The room was drowned in silence, and Charlie could only hear the sound of his own breathing

Droplets of sweat started to appear on Charlie's forehead He felt the pressure in the roo He knew that the other party was deliberately ignoring him, but at this hts

Finally, after about twenty minutes had passed by, just as Charlie felt that the air was turning viscous, the old man finally spoke up

"Charlie, do you still reulations?"

Charlie sed, and bitterly said, "Absolute neutrality"

"That's right, absolute neutrality The Knight Association oversees all hts in the Eh into the enemy ranks, pohich could be used to destroy cities and eradicate countries

"Can you iine, once internal strife starts to occur within this poould be the consequences?"

Charlie did not speak, but lowered his head even more

The oldXingjian?"

Charlie spoke up in with a bitter face, "I I really didn't do anything"

The old shook his head "The association's work is not suitable for you, there's no need for you to carry on with it But as a Conferred Knight, you can't sit around doing nothing Go make your preparations to join the Southern Crusade"

The Ehts which was in charge of suppressing the Eion

The southern borders were full of various pests, erous wild beasts It could be said to be the erous, and most rundown area

And the Southern Crusade, located in the southern borders, was the toughest ar sent off to the southern borders was equivalent to being banished, to being condemned to death in a faraway land, never to return

Moreover, even if he could put up with it with his Conferred Knight's physique, ould happen to his wife, his son, and his parents?

Charlie's face turned extrehost, as he looked at the old man

He opened his mouth, and the coarse voice that caive ive ood explanation" The old ive you one ate what nonsense you have been up to in the academy this time around But mind your mouth, don't land yourself into a situation where you will need to pay with your life"

Charlie's face looked as if he had aged ten years in just a short moment, his spine bent, as if all the vitality in him had been sapped away

The southern borders were scarce in land, resources, and population Moreover, they were far away from the Imperial Capital If he was sent there, he would probably be forgotten in a ional Royal Knight Acaderess, it would also kill off all possibilities of hihs in his martial arts

Without an academy, without resources, and with incredibly few people he could h t to rely purely on his talent to achieve any breakthroughs

As if he had expected Charlie's reaction, the old h and said, "A sixteen year old Windstorm Sword Hero A sixteen year old swords

"Do you kno ressed?"

The next moment, his tone turned cold, "Certain people's hands have really stretched out too far"

"The First Prince's hand has stretched out too far," Governor Devitt coldly said "For the past few years, he has been increasingly tyrannical, seizing and taking in talents as he wishes In order to complete his Devil's Note, he caused the ruin of countless fast the people"

Besides Devitt stood an elegant-looking black-hairedDevitt's gru, "It can't be helped I heard that back then, the First Prince had chanced upon attaining the State of Doly direct with the way he does things – those who submit will prosper, those who oppose shall perish There's no tolerance for the slightest disobedience

"Although the First Prince's powers have soared in leaps and bounds through this, gaining authority in the govern the Divine level"

Devitt let out a cold laugh If such a First Prince were to ascend to the throne, it would probably lead to groups of Knights going on a rebellion

But of such matters even he did not dare to blatantly speak out loud He only frowned and thought to hi? Especially for the past few years… The period of ti for in seclusion has been increasing each tily unfatho Could it be'

Suddenly, a possibility flashed in Devitt's thoughts, ht out of his ood seedling, Fang Xingjian… A genius who has e of sixteen If he'd been able to progress quickly and eventually support that person'
