The most beautiful woman Yan Nai’er!_2 192: 132: Enter Silver Wolf!
The most beautiful woman Yan Nai’er!_2 Hearing his sleazy words, Suo Lun instinctively furrowed his brow, then smiled and said, “Then may I ask, when can Mrs.
“Brother, you’re out of luck, the big boss Yan and Mrs.
Yan aren’t home,” the sleazy man said.
“When will she be back?” Suo Lun asked.
“How would I know that?” the sleazy man replied.
“She is a celestial being; how would I know her whereabouts?
All I know is that she left yesterday.”
“Thanks, then I’ll come again tomorrow to see this number one beauty,” Suo Lun said.
“Remember to definitely wait here, eh.
Coming to Tianye City and not seeing the number one beauty is the same as coming for nothing.
Just one look is enough to keep you dreaming for a lifetime,” the sleazy man said with incredibly fervent eyes.
Yan Nai’er wasn’t home, her whereabouts unknown.
But even if she were home, Suo Lun wouldn’t recklessly go after her, as he certainly didn’t want to be cleaved to death by Yan Yan with a single palm.
“Then, may I ask, where is the Silver Wolf Corps?” Suo Lun asked next.
“Outside the city,” the sleazy man replied.
“Are they still recruiting now?” Suo Lun inquired.
The sleazy man looked Suo Lun up and down for a good while before saying, “Brother, you’re really desperate just to catch a glimpse of a beauty.”
“Entering the Silver Wolf Corps means I could see this number one beauty every day,” Suo Lun stated.
“Brother, I am convinced,” the sleazy man said, giving a thumbs up.
“But your thinking is spot on.
Yan spends most of her time leading the Silver Wolf Corps in frontline battles.
If you earn enough merits, you might even get close to her, breathing in her scent every day.
Life would truly be like that of a deity.”
Suo Lun said, “So, does the Silver Wolf Legion really still recruit people or not?”
Of course, they recruit people, as long as you are strong enough,” the sleazy man replied.
“Travel ten miles from the west gate of the city, and you’ll reach the military camp of the Silver Wolf Corps.”
“Thank you.” Suo Lun took out a silver coin, which thrilled the sleazy man to no end.
This time, coming to Tianye City, Suo Lun truly was pressed for time and burdened with important tasks.
Therefore, his primary goal was to win over Yan Nai’er, to thoroughly cook the uncooked rice into a done deal, and then see Yan Yan to strategize about the Silver Wolf Legion.
If Yan Yan ever wanted to kill him, Yan Nai’er would break out crying, making a fuss, and threaten to hang herself.
Over time, Yan Yan would have no choice but to hold his nose and acknowledge him as his son-in-law.
However, the last time Suo Lun had caused Yan Nai’er great harm, so he couldn’t just appear directly in front of her.
That would be too shocking for her, and everything would fall apart.
First, he would join the Silver Wolf Legion incognito.
By lurking beside her as a stranger, only then could he know both himself and his enemy, and be sure to win every battle.
After leaving the west gate of Tianye City, he kept walking for ten miles.
Sure enough, he saw a massive military camp that looked like a small town.
In the camp, the flag of the Silver Wolf flew high, unmistakably the base of the Silver Wolf Legion.
“I’ve come to join the Silver Wolf Legion,” Suo Lun stepped forward and said to the samurai guarding the gate.
“Go over there to register and line up,” the gatekeeping samurai directed, pointing to the side.
Suo Lun glanced over and was startled—there were easily a hundred people in line.
“All these people want to join the Silver Wolf Corps?” Suo Lun asked.
The gatekeeping samurai nodded and said, “It’s every day.”
Observing closely, Suo Lun noticed that these people in line were all quite young and good-looking.
He couldn’t help asking, “Why is that?
Why do all the people who come here look so young and handsome?”
The gatekeeping Samurai said, “Our Wolf King has declared that he wants to find a husband for the young miss, and he will select from within the Silver Wolf Legion.
Whoever she marries will become the new Wolf King of the Silver Wolf Legion.”
Suo Lun’s heart sank, as suddenly so many rivals had appeared.
To marry Yan Nai’er meant becoming the new master of the Silver Wolf Legion, no wonder so many men were flocking to her.
Moreover, Yan Nai’er was the widely acclaimed first beauty of the frontier.
Now that he could not reveal his true identity, Suo Lun had no choice but to obediently join the line to register.
The young Samurai waiting in line saw Suo Lun join the queue, first showing hostility, but after getting a clear look at him, they completely dismissed him.
With such a rough appearance, looking to be around forty, how could he even dream of competing with me for the first beauty?
It’s like a fool’s dream.
Which one of them here isn’t a one-in-a-hundred handsome man?
After a good half-hour, it was finally Suo Lun’s turn.
“Name,” the registration officer asked.
“Lanling,” Suo Lun replied, the name from Earth finally coming in handy.
Hearing such a poetic name, the registration officer couldn’t help but lift his head to take another look at Suo Lun, then sighed in disappointment, seeing such a rough-looking man quite unfit for the name.
“What are your skills?” the officer asked.
“Archery,” Suo Lun replied.
Suo Lun glanced over the register and saw hundreds of names crowded together – Sword Dao, horsemanship, strength – but very few for archery.
At the Warrior Layer level, there were indeed very few who practiced archery.
However, this also meant that the competition would be much less.
“Archery?” the registration officer said, “You’re in luck; out of all those who registered today, there are only nine who practice archery.”
Suo Lun asked, “Then may I ask, how many spots do you have open today?”
“The mercenary group should be eagerly seeking Warrior Layer experts, but clearly, you all are here with ulterior motives.
Thus, we only take ten people per day.
For you archery types, we’re taking two,” the officer replied.
Nine people vying for two spots!
It seems not too bad at first glance, but there’s no telling how the other eight measure up.
“Get ready; the audition will take place in half an hour,” the registration officer said.
Half an hour later, night had fallen.
And Suo Lun’s archery contest was about to take place in the darkness.
This was different from the Royal City Academy exams, as it took the lighting conditions fully into account.
This was a mercenary test and was supposed to closely simulate real combat.
Suo Lun and the other eight competitors stood neatly on the archery range, with targets placed three hundred meters away.
Having just reviewed the list of competitors in the archery test, Suo Lun knew that his archery skill was almost the lowest because, after all, this was Tianye City, and those with low skill wouldn’t dare to come.
Still, he was filled with absolute confidence.
Although he lacked strength, he possessed immensely powerful spiritual power.
Plus, with the sky now dark, targets hundreds of meters away were completely invisible, which was fatal for the other archers, but for Suo Lun, it was like a feast for the taking.
Moreover, even with insufficient strength, thanks to Yao Xing, he could keep using the Dragon Force critical hit.
So, out of the nine competitors, capturing one of the top two spots was essential, and he only waited for the signaling arrow to launch.
Note: Here is the first update, as I spent some extra time thinking due to the new plot development.
