WEAPON SELLER IN THE WORLD OF MAGIC

Chapter 197 The Retired Leader Of Song Clan



Shang Jiao continued to defend her brother while blaming others, "Look at our own family. My father cannot offend Mr. Lu because he was blinded by the benefits. Your father cannot support Sister Yue who is also like a daughter to him, all because he wants to keep the relationship with the Song Clan.

But, Mr. Lu will go to any lengths for his people without caring about benefits. He leveled down the Sui Clan mansion because one of those elders insulted that foreigner named Alina.

I don't like it because I, my friends, and my family members faced the brunt of his actions but I do admire that quality of his. I wish my father would be the same."

? Lin Xue was taken aback by Shang Jiao's response. She didn't expect this spoiled princess of all the people would defend a devil-like Lu Zhen. It has only been a day since she started working and she has already switched the sides?

However, she can't accept it. Lin Xue immediately argued with the princess without thinking much, "well, he refused to help Song Yue when he is in a clear position to do that. Maybe, he is better than other nobles who display themselves as righteous in public but he doesn't possess the quality of Noblesse Oblige and no doubt, a selfish person."

Shang Jiao doesn't even know what came over her. Maybe, it's because she doesn't want her brother to be seen badly in front of Lin Xue, or maybe, she was just genuine in her opinion.

She didn't even hesitate to argue back, "Who isn't selfish? There are countless daughters suffering the same fate as Sister Yue but aren't you only helping her because she is your friend? Neither you nor I am an exception. If you are pointing a finger at someone, you should also acknowledge that the remaining four fingers are pointing at you too.

Moreover, noblesse oblige only applies to the Emperor, the Imperial family… Well, never mind. It isn't worth arguing here."

Shang Jiao wanted to defend her brother by pointing out that he was a commoner but then, she realized that he actually wasn't. So, she shut her mouth and ended the argument before changing the topic to Song Yue's rescue plan.

As Song Yue is important, Lin Xue put aside Mark from her thoughts and told her about various risks in their plans.

After discussing the matters for a while, Shang Jiao changed the topic once again, "okay, then, shall we get back to the spar? I have yet to see that pure lightning attribute technique of yours."

Lin Xue nodded, "Alright. There's also a sword technique that I need to work on. It is currently unfinished. So, I guess I will also put it into practice."

Soon, both of them resumed their sparring.

Meanwhile, at Genesis store, Song Yue was staring at the butler robot with curiosity gleaming in her large Hazel eyes. Occasionally, she was poking the robot's metal head and cheeks.

"Lady Song, do you need anything?" The butler robot, which was trained by Alina, asked her.

Song Yue didn't respond to the robot but commented, "I have only heard of high-grade battle puppets, which are capable of human speech, but never saw one."

"It is actually a low-grade one and is only capable of doing menial tasks and that too, after being trained by someone." Mark shrugged his shoulders, clearly undermining its abilities so as to make sure that it won't attract her attention. He even exaggerated its price as well as its electric power consumption to make it appear like it's not worth it as it appears on the surface.

Judging by Song Yue's crestfallen face, Mark felt like he was successful in fooling her. He didn't know that she felt sad for him that he made such a huge loss in buying it and she reminded him that because of her curiosity.

After a while, Song Yue was seen petting the golden furred kitten as she comfortably sat on the floor. There was no air of a noble on her. She looked very humble, at least in Mark's eyes.

Even more surprising fact is how the manticore allowed her to pet it.

To not scare her, Mark didn't reveal the beast's real identity and telepathically requested it to behave like a normal beast but that is just special enough to talk in human speech.

As the heiress of the Song clan is only in the 2-circle realm, she doesn't have the capability to realize which one is a normal beast and which one is a beast king, which one is a 5-circle, and which one is an 8-circle. So, he was confident that she won't find out.

But then again, why a person like him was even bothering to care so much for the lady?

The thought never occurred to his head. There wasn't any other human living with him and so, no one reminded him of that fact either.

"So, are you sure that your great grandfather will help you?" Mark struck a conversation while casually sitting nearby the manticore.

"Yes, Great-grandpa will surely help me. Father and uncle Bai don't even dare to speak before him. Not only that, but he was also revered by Uncle Shang, I mean, Emperor Shang. But then again, he is worthy to be respected. After all, he was one of the greatest leaders of Song Clan and was known to be very righteous."

There was a look of excitement on Song Yue's face as she spoke about her ancestor. Mark grew a little curious.

"Lady Song, after my experience with the nobles, it is difficult to believe that a clan leader who is in politics or in general, a person with high authority can ever be righteous. Can you tell more about your great grandfather?"

Since he had nothing to do anyway, he asked her about this old man. Not to mention, if he is strong enough to subdue Bai Xun, then, he is someone that needs to be wary of.

At the same time, the fact that this powerful guy never knocked on his door for revenge even after his descendant went into a coma states something about his character. So, Mark felt like he needed to study more about him before placing him as an enemy or someone neutral.
