Chapter 528 Questions

"Wow. You have a silver tongue. What's your name?" Zachary asked with a smile after hearing what the disciple said.

"My name is Henry Lin," the disciple replied.

"Well, I'll call you by your first name Henry, and I hereby appoint you as my house guard. If you have anything to report in the future, you can inform my sidekick, Jimmy." Zachary thought Henry Lin was a decent man, so he appointed him as his house guard.

"Oh my God! Really?" Henry was stunned for a moment. He couldn't believe his ears. He didn't expect Zachary to hire him as his guard. This was quite common in the Xiao Clan. Each warrior of Imperial Level had his own guard, but in order to be qualified as a guard, one had to at least be a disciple of Heaven Level, while Henry Lin was only at the Earth Level. So it was a great honor to be promoted so quickly.

The other disciple looked at him with jealousy. If he had known this earlier, he would have talked to Zachary. After all, if he could be the guard of a warrior of Imperial Level, his status would be much higher than that of the ordinary disciples in the Xiao Clan. Most importantly, no one would dare to bully him. Here in the Xiao Clan, relatively weaker disciples like him had to do odds jobs and were always bullied. There would be no way for him to rise above the ranks if he didn't improve his strength.

"What's the matter? Don't you want to be my guard?" Zachary asked with a puzzled expression.

"Of course I do!" Henry Lin exclaimed excitedly. "But you have to inform Steward Shaw about this first." He knew that being Zachary's guard was much better than being a handy man. What was more, he thought Zachary was a nice man. Although Zachary had just barged into the Xiao Clan Castle and caused trouble, he was totally different from the other warriors of Imperial Level, who always looked down on the relatively weaker disciples. Besides, his sidekick Jimmy also seemed easy-going. That was why Henry Lin was keen on taking up the job to be his guard. Moreover, the head of the Xiao Clan had ordered Henry Lin to be at his beck and call.

"Okay, go inform him then. You can come back after that," Zachary commanded.

So Henry Lin bowed and left the house acco

much, Master Harley. I will devote my life to you."

"Get up! Don't be so formal with me. I just like being honest," Zachary remarked, waving his hand.

Henry Lin stood up at once.

"So how long have you been here?" Zachary asked.

"Five years. I passed the examination and joined the Xiao Clan when I was fifteen years old," Henry Lin answered earnestly.

"Wow. That's a long time. So you must be familiar with the Xiao Clan, right?" Zachary inquired, raising his eyebrows.

"Yes, I very much am." Henry Lin nodded eagerly.

"Do you mind if I ask you something?" Zachary asked tentatively.

"Of course no. Please ask. I will tell you whatever you want to know!" Henry Lin had just received a generous gift from Zachary, so he was keen to repay his kindness.

"Then tell me. Apart from Master Jaxon, how many warriors of Sage Level are there in the Xiao Clan?" Zachary asked shrewdly.

"Hmm, well, let me count." Henry Lin began to count on his fingers.

After doing his calculations, he reported, "There are fifteen warriors of Sage Level in all. Eight of them are elders while seven are guardians."

"That many?" Zachary was surprised to learn that. He didn't expect the Xiao Clan to have fifteen warriors of Sage Level. It was a huge number. He hadn't seen so many warriors of Sage Level in the Shura College before. However, since they were peerless martial artists, their whereabouts were quite mysterious. So it was very difficult to meet them.
