Volume 2, Chapter 45 – The Northlands of the Lingyuan Family, Descendant of the First Celestial Augur Knight

In a high-rise building in the Covenant capital Clavino,

After showering, Greemir dragged his injured and exhausted body to the living room. Without bothering to dress, wrapped in a towel, Greemir plopped himself down on the sofa and turned on the television.

“Hmm…”

“With the Terran Malevolence eliminated, humanity has sounded the horn of counterattack.”

“Should we erect a statue for the hero who defeated Gaia Lobir, Lady Hilgena?”

“The Terran Malevolence is dead. When will the Covenant begin exploring the lands of the Veiled Domain?”

“In this operation, the Covenant forces not only defeated Gaia Lobir but also rescued Lianna and her daughters who had been missing for eight years. Absolutely fruitful! Arguably the most successful operation in history!”

“A temporary celebration is being held at Grass Valley Flower Plaza, which will continue…”

“Click…”

After channel surfing and watching various news for about ten minutes, Greemir turned off the television and leaned back on the sofa with a tired face.

He wanted to watch some comedy shows or music appreciation programs that would help him relax, not these boring celebration topics.

It’s worth noting that after returning to the capital Clavino, Greemir had already attended seven or eight various types of celebration gatherings.

Because of this, a hint of boredom flashed across Greemir’s white pupils.

“Tch, seems like everyone’s quite happy…”

—”Isn’t that normal?”—

As Greemir was muttering to himself, a slender maid carrying a glass of water walked to the blond man’s side.

“Who wouldn’t be happy about the elimination of one of the three Malevolent Deities that threatened human survival? Not to mention, the Covenant also rescued Lianna and her daughters, a total of four Divine-Graced Maidens. The evil deities’ strength has been weakened, while humanity’s strength has increased. Of course it’s good news.”

As she spoke, the woman named “Orlan” looked at the young master collapsed on the sofa with helpless eyes:

“These days, perhaps you’re the only one who’s feeling unhappy?”

“What can I do about it?”

After gulping down the water, Greemir angrily threw the glass across the room.

“Just thinking about Lianna being taken back by Luo Fei makes me furious! How could that kind of person take good care of Lianna and the others? Wasn’t it because of Luo Fei’s negligence that all the subsequent tragedies occurred? This time, they’re actually letting Lianna return to the Lingyuan family. I really don’t understand what they’re thinking!”

Faced with Greemir’s outburst, Orlan sighed with complex emotions.

“I apologize, young master. I don’t know what President Lakbi and Lord Shawn Ge are thinking. But… from my perspective, Lady Lianna and Miss Ailiya returning to the Lingyuan family might be the best choice for them at this stage.”

“What?”

“Young Master Greemir, you know very well that eight years ago, many people had their eyes on Lady Lianna and her daughters. At that time, Lady Lianna could still intimidate many with her powerful strength. But what about now? Lady Lianna’s strength has declined to less than third tier… those people will surely become restless again.”

“Isn’t there still me?! Can’t our House Sevitt protect Lianna? Why must she go to the Lingyuan family?”

Faced with Greemir’s words, Orlan couldn’t help but roll her eyes:

“Young master, please calm down and think about it carefully. Does our house really have the ability to protect Lianna?”

“…”

When asked like this, looking at Orlan’s serious eyes, Greemir’s emotions seemed to calm down a bit.

Taking a deep breath and closing his eyes to think briefly, although Greemir was extremely reluctant in his heart, he still nodded:

“Indeed… we can’t protect her.”

Over these eight years, not only had Greemir’s own strength improved, but his understanding of the Covenant and the entire human world had also become vastly different from before.

Now he clearly knew that even the House Sevitt at its peak eight years ago didn’t have the ability to protect Lianna well. Not to mention the current House Sevitt.

After the President completely opened the country’s borders and relaxed regulations eight years ago, House Sevitt had been infiltrated by forces from Paradise Manor.

And those people from Paradise Manor, after Lianna’s strength began to decline eight years ago, had joined with House Anloxi in attempting to control Lianna and her daughters.

Therefore, how could House Sevitt, already infiltrated by Paradise Manor, protect Lianna?

Thinking of this, Greemir couldn’t help but sigh repeatedly.

Seeing that Greemir had regained his rationality and acknowledged this fact, Orlan smiled with some relief and gently stroked Greemir’s head:

“Young master, I know you care about Lady Lianna. Precisely because of this, you should let go and allow her to stay peacefully at the Lingyuan residence. After all, that place… might be the only place within the Westivian Covenant that can protect Lady Lianna and her daughters.”

“The only…”

“Yes. Don’t forget, the Lingyuan family is the Westivian Covenant’s number one family, descendants of the founding meritorious officials. Over hundreds of years, they’ve accumulated countless connections and resources, and the family is full of experts. And Lord Luo Fei is the Covenant’s Chief Celestial Augur Knight…”

“Enough! Don’t mention him to me!”

At the mention of Luo Fei, Greemir showed complete resistance and immediately glared at Orlan.

“Alright, I won’t mention that name.”

As if soothing a child, Orlan patted Greemir’s head again.

“Our House Sevitt, although it’s mentioned alongside House Anloxi and House Lingyuan as the Covenant’s three great families. But those in the know understand that House Sevitt and House Anloxi combined can’t compare to House Lingyuan. Of course, most importantly, the Lingyuan family’s patriarch, Lord Luo Fei’s father is…”

“The First Celestial Augur Knight…”

The now-calm Greemir said coldly.

Indeed, the Lingyuan family is powerful, but what truly elevates this family to a terrifying level isn’t Wishaven’s formidable hundred thousand private soldiers, nor the Lingyuan family’s countless connections, nor the Lingyuan family’s vast wealth…

But Luo Fei’s father, that top expert who married into the Lingyuan family.

—”Xi Xuan-West.”—

It’s worth noting that the First Celestial Augur Knight and today’s Westivian Covenant’s Celestial Augur Knights are two completely different concepts.

Back then, the Celestial Augur Knight wasn’t a title used by a single country, but a title shared by all of humanity.

Not the strongest of one nation, but the strongest of the entire human race.

The original ten Celestial Augur Knights were the ten most powerful humans in the era when humanity had just gained control over spiritual power.

And Luo Fei’s father, Xi Xuan-West, is one of the three First Celestial Augur Knights who still survive today.

Moreover, within that group of monsters known as the First Celestial Augur Knights, Xi Xuan was absolutely at the top.

He was the Second Knight, second only to the Alabaster Sovereign, Greemir’s idol.

Back then, Xi Xuan already possessed peak Divine Departure Realm strength. After a thousand years of cultivation, to what level has Xi Xuan’s strength reached?

No one knows.

Even less is known about whether he has touched the threshold of that legendary realm…

Although Xi Xuan has now handed over the management of the Lingyuan family to Luo Fei, and his whereabouts are unknown, considering that the Lingyuan family still has such a terrifying existence behind it, no one dares to casually provoke the Lingyuan family.

Even Paradise Manor is no exception.

After recalling this fact, Greemir sighed in resignation.

“Perhaps, only they can truly protect Lianna.”

Undoubtedly, this fact made Greemir extremely unhappy, and his mood became increasingly heavy. But Greemir finally suppressed his emotions, suppressed the impulse to rush to the Lingyuan residence to ‘rescue’ Lianna.

His current strength was still insufficient.

Taking a deep breath, the blond man lay back on the sofa again.

“Rest assured, dear Lianna, I will continue to train diligently and become stronger! When that time comes, I will be the one to protect you!”

Staring at the ceiling, Greemir muttered resolutely with clenched fists.

Meanwhile, Orlan, serving as a maid, was picking up the broken glass from the floor while looking with complex emotions at the spirited Gre

emir. A rare trace of bitterness flashed across the woman’s black eyes…
