Chapter 82: Former Family Affairs

Primarily white and gold ceremonial robes gorgeous and complicated accessories a thin piece of mithril chest armor a shoulder piece engraved with a sword and shield coat-of-arms superior quality silk stockings as well as a pair or dark-steel greaves. Just the costs of manufacturing her gorgeous brightly colored attire were enough to make the average tycoon despair.

While the expressionless young woman didnt release her aura on purpose faced with her violet crystal-like pupils it still made one feel like they were sitting on pins and needles as if a rock was pressing against their chest.

Ji Yue the second daughter of the renowned Fire Lance clan. For generations her clan had served as bishops of the temple association. Her father Ji Feng was the third generation leader of the clan and currently one of the temple bishops.

According to the traditional doctrine of the temple association the president would be determined through elections while the people responsible for checks balances and assisting him would be the bishops. It was a hereditary position with clans using bloodlines as bonds to pass it down from one generation to another. In other words Ji Yue will definitely become the next Fire Lance bishop in the future.

Normally the clans right of inheritance would fall on the eldest son to succeed. However Ji Bai wasnt the true flesh and blood of the Fire Lance clan; he merely was an adopted son that had no blood relation with them.

To his colleagues in the Temple Association Ji Bai himself was not entitled to the privileges people with the so-called clan halo could enjoy. After all an adopted son was ultimately an adopted son. To put it bluntly an outsider that couldnt even get into the family tree.

His sister had been very clingy and the person she had loved most was naturally her brother Ji Bai who had been taking care of her with great care ever since she was a baby. However when that day came Ji Bai realized that all of that was just wishful thinking and foolishness on his part; She had never once taken him seriously.

Recalling back the past made Ji Bais heart feel like strands of multi-colored knitting wool intertwining and tangling together. All of it then turned into a deep sigh in the end.

Inside his full body armor Ji Bai was overcome with emotions as he quietly looked at the younger sister who no longer needed his care.

Even if the affection that had emerged from him had turned into dead ashes and the passion within his heart dampened down he still lamented nostalgically. Youve already grown so big in the twinkling of an eye.

Its an honor to meet you colleagues who have come a far way from the capital! This humble self is the branch head of the temple association in this Border Town Rodo. The fatty Rodo was momentarily shocked when he faced her young fairy-like appearance. Only after realizing that he was being rude did he hurriedly stand up and extended his hand to receive his guests.

Its an honor. A crisp and sweet-sounding voice resounded. Although Ji Yue lowered her eyes and slightly inclined her body she didnt shake the hand Rodo had extended. Her calm eyes were glancing at Ji Bai who was standing in the corner wearing plate armor.

Ah haha Rodo retracted his hand in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

Thank you for your hard work branch head. This lowly servant is Ji Yue. I had received an urgent missive to head to Border Town and be in charge of the tribunal court. Without lingering with her eyes on Ji Bai Ji Yue did a short introduction and headed straight to the subject. Afterward she motioned to a lofty knight beside her to hand a book of documents over.

I am sure that everyone is well aware of the specifics so I will no longer repeat it again. To put it simply the presiding job of the tribunal court requires your branch to dispatch a fellow comrade over. If your highness Rodo is somewhat free

Eehh Im sorry commander Ji Yue. My humble self has to look after my office. I will have my aide-de-camp participate in this trial Rodo took a step back and formed a forced smile as he introduced Ji Bai who was standing beside his seat.
