Chapter Forty-Seven Reunion
In the manor of Caslot, Hua Yun sat quietly alone in her room, thinking about everything that had happened today.
Indeed, if Hua Yun had revealed his true identity as the Plant Master when he first saw Roast scolding Baru and Buck, none of today's events would have occurred, nor would the impending war. And if he hadn't killed Roast in the end, things would have been much simpler.
Although Huayun secretly blamed himself for his recklessness today, in fact, he did not regret what happened today. If he had put on an air of dignity and calmed things down when Rost was scolding the Ba brothers, if he hadn't killed Rost who kept provoking him, would he still be himself?
The way of the heart, Hua Yun learned from his grandfather since he was a child that a martial artist must always maintain a strong mentality. A person can have pride but not arrogance, and this is especially true for martial artists; otherwise, it's easy to stagnate on the path of martial arts.
Hua Yun's usual principle is that if others don't offend me, I won't offend them. If they do offend me, I'll return it twofold. If Hua Yun encounters something like this again next time, he won't be as reckless as today, but neither will he be a good guy who gets bullied to the point of wanting to smooth things over.
At this moment, Castlot was alone in the study, writing hastily on a piece of paper. Having grown up in Waverley City since childhood, he naturally understood how great a calamity Huayun had brought upon himself today. Although he had been quite popular in Waverley City recently, it was not impossible for Earl Habern to secretly plot against him.
But with Hua Yun around, Kaselot is not afraid at all. Just the relationship between Hua Yun and Lord Lokuen is enough to prevent his family from harming him, let alone that he has the family's protection order. What he is writing now is actually a cry for help, just in case.
Just as Castlot was writing a letter, a servant came in and said to him: "Sir, there were several guests outside the house who wanted to see you. I have already led them to the main hall."
"Which guests are they?" Caslot's eyebrows slightly furrowed, he didn't want to see any guests at this time, but since the attendant led those few guests directly into the hall, it meant that their identities were not low.
"The little people aren't clear, there are four of them in total. The leader is a warrior holding the family crest, and the other two are also warriors. The last one seems to be a plant master!" The attendant reported one by one in front of Caslot.
"Is it a family member who has come? And also the master of ceremonies?" Caslot's heart was slightly puzzled, putting down the pen in his hand: "Alright, I know, you go down first and tell the guest that I'll be there soon."
Having tidied up his attire, Castlot walked out of the study and headed towards the great hall.
"Hehe, I was busy just now and was slow to respond, please forgive me!" As soon as Kastriot walked out of the great hall, he saw the four people inside. Three of them were indeed wearing warrior armor, while the other old man wore a robe representing a fourth-level Plant Master. After entering the great hall, Kastriot hurriedly laughed and greeted them.
"I am Arelerua Roland." Arelerua stood up, nodded to Castlot and introduced himself, with his status in the Roland family, he didn't need to show respect to Castlot.
"Ah, so you're Lord Aleruia. I've long admired you, haha, it's an honor to have you here, it really makes my humble abode shine! " Caslot looked at Aleruia with a surprised expression, then turned to look at the three people beside him and asked: "Who are these three?"
The person in front of him was actually Areluya, and Caslot's heart was overjoyed at this moment. He didn't expect it to be so coincidental that just as he was about to prepare to ask his family for help, a strong person like this would appear in the family. How could Caslot not be excited? The letter he had written halfway in the study no longer needed to be written. With Lord Areluya around, even if Count Haber wanted to cause trouble for him, he wouldn't have to worry anymore.
As a member of the Roland family, Kaselotte naturally heard about the top-notch experts in the Areluya family. Now that he has reached the pinnacle of an eighth-tier Grand Master at the age of thirty-seven, he is one of the few revered figures in the family. Even in the Western Kingdom of Sis, Areluya can be considered a supreme expert.
"They are who you don't need to know, I'm only planning to stay in Wala City for a few days this time, so arrange some rooms for us!" Areruia said calmly to Castlot. This time when he left the royal city and passed by some small nobles of his family's side branch, that person was extremely enthusiastic and respectful towards him.
"Hehe, that's it, I'll go arrange it now!" Caslot immediately said to the servant waiting on the side: "Go quickly and prepare four good rooms right away."
As for Are Ruoya's attitude towards herself, Kaslot didn't mind at all. After all, the other party was higher than her in both status and strength.
However, upon hearing that Areuruia was only preparing to stay in Wavul City for a few days, Kaselott couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. He knew that someone like Areuruia usually traveled for the purpose of completing some task for their family. As Kaselott, it was natural that Areuruia wouldn't tell him what that task was. But if Areuruia left before causing trouble with Count Haburn, then wouldn't he be out of luck?
No way, I have to make it clear with Lord Aleruia. Thinking of this, Kaslot immediately bowed respectfully and said: "Lord Aleruia, what a coincidence! Besides you, there is another family member who serves the current one living in my humble abode."
The family's worship is generally not afraid to speak out in front of others, but it can't be flaunted everywhere. The Roland family is indeed prestigious, but over the years, they have also established many powerful enemies in the Kingdom of Xis. As a top-notch power within the family, if their worship were to be known by hostile forces, they would stop at nothing to eliminate them. However, those who become the family's worship are all masters, and the family will also send people to protect them, so they won't be easily eliminated by hostile forces.
"Does the family have another shrine here?" Aleru's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as a core member of the family, he should know how many shrines the family has, and under his influence, it seems that there shouldn't be any family shrines near Valan City, if there really were, the family wouldn't need to send him over.
"Oh, then I'd like to see it for myself!" Aleruia narrowed her eyes and nodded at Castlot, a glint of sharpness flashing in the depths of her eyes.
"Hehe, I'll go call him right away!" Caslot smiled all over his face and backed out.
Before long, the sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, and soon a young man's voice sounded in the ears of Aleruia and others: "Caslot, you said someone was looking for me? In Valan City, I shouldn't know anyone, should I?"
"Pffft!" At the sound, Saha, who had been sitting there drinking tea all along, suddenly spat out the tea in his mouth. Without bothering to wipe away the water stain at the corner of his mouth, Saha stood up from his seat with a look of utter astonishment on his face.
"You...Saha, how are you here?" As soon as Huayun walked into the hall, she saw Saha standing there with an excited face, and Saha also recognized Huayun at first glance.
"Haha, hahaha!" Under the astonished gaze of Are Ruoya and others, Sa Ha and Hua Yun couldn't help but burst out laughing at the same time. Then, these two people, one old and one young, actually gave each other a hearty hug in front of everyone.
Just then, a guard hastily walked in from outside the hall, looking somewhat flustered as he addressed Caslot: "Sir, Lord Habern, the city lord, and Viscount Harvey have arrived and are waiting at the door!"
As the Earl of Habern, he could have been directly escorted to the hall by the guards without any announcement, but now he is waiting outside, apparently preparing for a courtesy call before taking action.
