Chapter 49: Kasulo's Return

  "From today on, the Sixth-System Magic Master Kaslo will take office as the Chief Magic Master of the Black Eagle Guard!" Along with Liu Yun's voice, Kaslo slowly walked to the front stage.

  "I, Kasel, the Six-System Magician, have returned!"

  Kasulo smiled and said to the students, as if telling the entire continent, "The former genius, Kasulo, has once again stepped onto the stage of the continent."

  The members of the Black Eagles discovered that the old Card who used to love laughing and joking was gone, standing before them was a strange and powerful magician.

  Liu Yun had always been opposed to Lao Ka entering the military, in his view, Lao Ka was a senior like his father. But after returning from the Spirit Forest, Lao Ka finally broke through the bottleneck of the six systems and entered the ranks of the magic guides. He eventually chose to reappear in front of people in this way.

  The people on the observation deck were all stunned. The older ones knew that decades ago, a fleeting magical genius named Caslow had appeared. However, no one could have imagined that he would suddenly appear here as a six-system magic conductor. Even Flame Heaven hadn't thought that the down-and-out person he had taken in back then would turn out to be today's Caslow.

  Breaking through the six-system confinement and entering the ranks of demon masters, does it also mean that the mainland will have its first six-system saint demon master?

  Seemingly enjoying everyone's surprise, Old Card returned to his usual mischievous self, hehe, and retreated with a smile.

  At this time, Liú Yún Chōng Ná Lán Duō gave a signal with his eyes. The latter quickly ran to the front of the viewing platform and saluted the Crown Prince in standard military fashion.

  "Your Highness, the Black Eagle Squadron is ready for inspection!"

  At this time, Yan Tian's face changed slightly, and he asked Liuyun with his eyes. Liuyun nodded at him with a smile.

  Shi Yan led the crowd down from the observation deck and walked towards the Black Hawk team members on the playground.

  In those days at Eagle Academy, Shiyan soon mixed with these young people. At first, no one knew he was the prince, and even some team members accompanied him every day in the beast camp to help him forget his pain. Shiyan also had high hopes for this army built by Liuyun. After a simple conversation with Liuyun, they reached an agreement: Liuyun would vigorously develop the Black Eagles, while Shiyan would fully support them. If the empire encountered difficulties, the Black Eagles would make efforts for the country.

  As a former soldier, Liú Yún deeply believes that defending one's home and country is the basic responsibility of every soldier. Now that he can get help from the prince, he naturally agrees to it. Of course, Liú Yún is not a foolishly loyal person, and Prince Shìyán seems to have the potential to be a wise ruler, so the two arranged today's scene, which also serves as a declaration of Black Hawk's stance towards the prince.

  "It's a pity there are only 200 people. If there were 100,000 such troops, I believe Huoyun would never dare to offend again."

  Shi Yan stepped towards the first formation of Black Eagles.

  "Soldiers, you have worked hard!"

  Shi Yan said loudly at the same time, and waved his hand to everyone.

  "Duty, Honor, Mission!"

  Dozens of people shouted in unison and raised their hands to salute Shiyan with a military salute.

  After the ceremony, Yan Tian and Liu Yun returned to their room and had a private conversation.

  "Yun'er, Father is getting more and more unable to understand you. Can you tell me, how did you think of all this?"

  Then, Liú Yún continued to tell the story of encountering a strange person.

  "Perhaps only you can have such good luck!" Flame Heaven patted Flow Cloud's shoulder, feeling very relieved in his heart.

  "Father, everything here, you must keep secret for me. My power is still small, I don't want more people to notice its existence."

  "Yun'er, what's worrying you?" Yan Tian asked with a smile.

  "Father, things may not be as simple as we thought." Liú Yún shook his head and told Huǒ Tiān about the detailed circumstances of Shì Yán's assassination attempt.

  "Do you think the imperial capital may change?" Upon hearing Flowing Cloud's words, Flame Heaven's face turned very solemn. As someone who had been in the center of imperial power for many years, he deeply understood the horror of imperial power struggles.

  "It may not be possible for now, but we must take precautions!" Flowing Clouds sighed.

  "Actually, after receiving your message, I felt that there was something fishy about this matter, so I personally brought people to come and welcome the prince. The people I brought are all loyal to His Majesty, and this matter will not be leaked out, you can rest assured."

  "Hmm. The assassination of the prince, there are two things: one is that there is a mastermind behind it, and two is that it has brought out a mysterious power on the continent." Liú Yún then briefly told Huǒ Tiān about the Blood-robed Man's affair.

  "It seems that the mainland is about to enter a season of turmoil again. The existence of such an organization, with imperial intelligence power, was not detected at all, which shows how deeply it was hidden." Yan Tian sighed.

  "Father, you should make early preparations and be careful with everything. If necessary, I will bring people back to the Imperial Capital." Liú Yún still had some worries about her father in his high position, so she reminded him.

  "Hmm, where's your third brother?"

  "Jīng léi qù lì liàn qù le." Liú yún yóu huò le piān kè, "Fù qīn, tā xuǎn zé le yī tiáo fēi cháng jiān nán de lù, wǒ méi yǒu zǔ zhù tā. Wǒ xī wàng tā chéng wéi yī gè zhēn zhèng de nán rén."

  Translation:

  "Jingle has gone to hone his skills." Flowing Cloud hesitated for a moment, "Father, he chose an extremely difficult path, I didn't stop him. I hope he becomes a real man."

  The flames fell silent for a moment before sighing and saying: "Let him go. Without experiencing the trials of wind and rain, as well as life and death, one cannot become a true strongman."

  "I believe Third Brother will return safely, don't worry," said Liu Yun.

  "Hmm. Child, from now on this continent will be the stage for your young generation, bravely take up your burden. People used to say you were the shame of the Kayde family, but I believe that in the end, you will become the pride of the Kayde family." Yan Tian said with kindness.

  "Dad, what's coming will eventually have to be faced, I'll do it." Liú Yún nodded.

  "Right, I think both of those two girls are quite good, but I don't know which one you fancy?" A hint of a smile suddenly appeared in Yan Tian's eyes.

  The sons have all grown up, Mufeng has someone he likes, and it seems that Liuyun is also about to.

  "Uh, this... I haven't thought about it yet." Suddenly, the faces of two girls flashed through Liuyun's mind, and for a moment, his heart was in disarray.

  On that day, Yan Tian followed the prince back to the imperial capital.

  Hua Die and Liu Yun went together to inspect the production of grape wine. As soon as they entered the workshop, they smelled the strong aroma of wine.

  Adams had taken the people from the workshop and was busy dealing with the raw materials. Liú Yún and Huā Jiàng Lèi, after a simple glance, became bored. Then, Liú Yún took over a cup and taught her to taste wine.

  "Before drinking, gently shake it a bit, this is to appreciate its color. After shaking, hold the cup up to your nose, this is called appreciating its fragrance."

  "Oh, I originally thought you were a rough person, but it turns out you also know how to appreciate beauty? What kind of beauty can make you infatuated?" Huajing's tears sparkled with laughter, and she struck a pose that was both elegant and alluring.

  After hearing Hua Die's words, Liu Yun's face flushed with anger, and she wished she could slap herself twice.

  "Also, apart from the fragrance of wine, can you appreciate other fragrances?" Huā Jiè said, taking a few steps closer to Liú Yún. A wisp of faint scent wafted over, causing Liú Yún to take two quick steps back, almost knocking over a wine jug.

  "Are you playing with fire?" A burst of flames erupted from the flowing clouds, and Huā Jiě walked up to her, embracing her in his arms.

  Her body, soft and weak, leaned into Liuyun's embrace. She didn't panic, only her bright eyes looked at Liuyun before slowly closing them, tilting her head back.

  Liú Yún felt her rapid breathing, and a flame rose in his eyes. Looking at her picking flowers with Ren Jun, Liú Yún suddenly had a shadow rise in his heart, and he gloomily let go of her.

  "What a blockhead." Huajing seemed not to be angry at all due to Yun's change, but just gave him a glance before turning around to taste the wine.

  Looking at Huajing's back, Qiuyun thought of everything the girl had done for him and a sense of regret rose in his heart.

  Huā jiàng lèi jǔ bēi yǐn le kǒu jiǔ, ér hòu yǎo zhe zuǐ chún shuō dào: "pǐn jiǔ rú pǐn rén shēng, kǔ guò le, zhōng hái huì yǒu tián. nǐ kě yǐ huí wèi céng jīng de kǔ sè, dàn bù yào ràng tā suǒ zhe le nǐ de xīn. nǐ de xīn xiōng yǒu duō kuò jiǎo, nǐ de shì jiè jiù huì yǒu duō dà. hēi yīng yǐ jīng zhǎn chì fēi qǐ, tā men xū yào yī gè chōng mǎn rè xuè, háo qíng de tóu ér. jīn rì de nǐ, ràng jiàng ér shī wàng le."

  At dusk, Liuxing came alone to the riverbank. The words of Huajie pierced his heart deeply. All along, he had not forgotten his former lover and feelings. However, because of this entanglement in his heart, he lost a soldier's grandeur and a man's true nature.

  With a swift motion, he drew out the Moonlit Sword from his waist and held it up to his chest. The gentle voice of the Flowing Cloud whispered: "Moon, from now on, you shall accompany me, and together we shall live a life full of vigor and vitality in this world!"

  After finishing speaking, Liuyun raised his knife and suddenly slashed at the river.

  The river water parted and quickly closed again. Liu Yun suddenly remembered a conversation with Lao Shen Gun.

  "Can one sword chop off running water?"

  "The sword cuts through the water, but the water still flows; it cannot be cut off."

  "Don't say that one knife can cut off the unbreakable, even a thousand knives cannot cut it off. This is because between the flowing waters, there is actually a kind of endless vitality, which no power can sever."

  "You can observe the rise and fall of the stars, the prosperity and decline of plants, the continuous flow of water, and the operation of the sun and moon. These things reveal the eternal truth that is born and never dies. Incorporate this into your practice, and it is called the natural way."

  A flash of insight streaked across his mind, the energy inside him suddenly surged, and a blue light enveloped the moon.

  "Drawing a sword to cut off the flowing water will not stop it; it is better to follow the current and go with the flow."

  "Surfing!"

  A clear cry of "Hua!" echoed through the air, and with a mighty leap, countless water-blue blades of light shot out one after another, ceaselessly slashing towards the river's surface.

  The river water suddenly split in two, and the stones at the bottom of the river were crushed into powder under the impact of the strong air.

  After landing, a happy smile appeared on Liuyun's face.

  "My love, from now on I will keep you forever in my heart and start a new life!"

  When the sword is sheathed, all evil thoughts are eliminated.

  "It's getting chilly, what are you still messing around by the river for?" A sweet voice rang out, and a piece of clothing was draped over Liuyun's body.

  Liu Yun turned around and grabbed the small hand on his shoulder, pulling Shui Ling'er into his arms.

  "Ling, let's go back."
