Chapter 265.2: Born to be King
But that different side of him was seen only by her alone.
If they were to just entertain people from the Dark Lands today, it might make it look too intentional.
But she seemed to have seen people from other powers just now. Uniforms in their symbolic gold, and a ferocious soaring condor on the front of their chests and unique epaulets on their shoulders. If she remembered it correctly, that was the guild uniform of the Hunters Guild.
The Dark Lands and the Hunters Guild were always at odds, so what was Qing Luo Yan really thinking when she invited people from the Hunters Guild here as well?
But before Qing Yu could think any deeper, Qing Luo Yan was already opening her mouth to explain it to her.
“The grudge between the Hunters Guild and the Dark Lands has stood for a good hundred years and if you look into the crux of the matter, it all started when the leaders of the two powers were still very young. Hence, it is inevitable that some friction would occur between two hotblooded young men. But the two people have now grown more mature and steady, as their elder, I will naturally have to help them reconcile.”
“With the Temple Lord’s thoughtfulness, I think that they would surely be very grateful to you.” Qing Yu said with a smile, a silent imperceptible glint shining deep in her eyes.
For Qing Luo Yan to be so kindhearted for no good reason, there must be some plot at play. But she feared that Lou Jun Yao was not aware of this and even if he had other plans in mind for this trip, it was clear that Qing Luo Yan was not just sitting back to submit herself to her fate, having made her own arrangements to await his arrival.
The people from the Hunters Guild have come to the Divine Temple one step ahead. Zhuge Xiong had probably endured too much humiliation back before, and could not help feeling that he was somewhat inferior to others. So after he founded the Hunters Guild, no matter where he went, he would always have a horde of followers with him whenever he was out, so that he could show off his status and position.
Zhuge Xiong had a tall and towering stature, and had very good looking facial features as well, the type of man who possessed a strong and manly charm.
But although he possessed an unusually valiant look, due to the fact that he pursued his studies as a witch doctor who practiced unorthodox paths, there was a perpetual gloomy darkness that hung between his brows.
His clothes were a brilliant gold throughout, even the jade ornament that bound up his hair, as if he was fascinated by the colour that was symbolic of an august kingly air that would make him look more accomplished, making him feel as if he was standing at the pinnacle of might and power.
Zhuge Xiong walked in front with his hands behind his back, always trailed by a whole group of people.
But one thing was different today. There was one more person beside him. Although that person was wearing the Hunters Guild uniform, it was clear to see that his status was different from all the others.
Zhuge Xiong had always been someone who placed great emphasis on hierarchy. Even with comrades who had been through life and death with him, he would never allow anyone to overstep their boundaries. Subordinates were only able to follow a step behind him, and never stand at his side. That was a rule that he emphasized greatly on.
