A firm voice rang out.
"I swear with the Willpower Rune that I will become Class 2 Creation Master Lin Yuan's retainer and will abide by the responsibilities of a retainer. If I violate the oath, I will be repelled by the will of heaven and earth."
As soon as Liu Jie finished speaking, the purple Willpower Runes hovering around him suddenly stopped.
A layer of abstruse shackles appeared on the rune, and Liu Jie's willpower rune was tightly locked on one end of the shackles.
The other end of the shackles entered Lin Yuan's spiritual energy.
Lin Yuan could feel that he and Liu Jie had formed a subordinate relationship.
This was a Rune Oath that could only be initiated by someone who had comprehended a Willpower Rune.
The consequence of going against it was to be shielded by the will of heaven and earth, never to be able to sense Spiritual Qi again.
It could be said that the rune oath was the most inviolable oath after the Spirit Qi Awakening.
This was because once a Rune Oath was violated, it was equivalent to an expert who could comprehend the will of heaven and earth and condense runes to become an ordinary person who could not even feel spiritual energy.
Such a punishment was even harder to accept than death for spirit qi professionals.
Lin Yuan did not expect Liu Jie to suddenly swear a rune oath.
Lin Yuan looked at Liu Jie and did not know what to say for a while.
After obtaining the two Creation Masters' retainer crests, Lin Yuan had thought of accepting two retainers.
However, he had never thought that he would recruit someone who used to be at the top of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.
He was no longer Sequence # 39 of the Radiance Hundred and had wasted two years.
However, if Liu Jie's Insect Queen recovered, it was not impossible for it to catch up.
These two years, which seemed to have been wasted, were not in vain.
In the past two years, his strength had not increased at all.
However, the growth in his state of mind was something that he could never achieve in the past.
Liu Jie looked at Lin Yuan's expression and said calmly.
"Now, according to the oath, I am already your squire or guardian knight. I want to beg you to help me restore the Insect Queen, but I have nothing to repay you. I only have myself. If you grant me a new life, my future will be in your hands."
Upon seeing Liu Jie's calm expression, Lin Yuan looked at him for a long time and asked,
"Is it worth it to sacrifice the rest of your life?"
Liu Jie thought of what the Bamboo Monarch had said back then. It required extreme spirit qi without any medicinal properties to promote the Insect Queen's slow recovery.
This was something that the Bamboo Monarch could not do.
Something that even a Class 5 Creation Master couldn't do was the same as giving Liu Jie a death sentence.
It wasn't that Liu Jie hadn't looked for other Creation Masters over the years, but he hadn't found anything.
Slowly, he lost all hope.
However, for some reason, the Spirit Qi released by the young man in front of him was able to help the Insect Queen recover.
This was Liu Jie's only chance. If one wanted to talk about whether it was worth it or not, a spirit qi professional would have to face many choices from the start of choosing an occupation.
Every choice would lead to a completely different path in the future.
Liu Jie was also constantly making choices. He chose the source-type lifeform, the Insect Queen, chose to strive for the Radiance Hundred Sequence, chose to protect Cold Frost City, and chose to become Lin Yuan's retainer knight.
Liu Jie didn't dare to say that every choice he made was absolutely perfect or the best one.
However, Liu Jie did not regret his choice.
Liu Jie suddenly smiled, and a trace of foolishness appeared on his determined face.
"It is worth it. “
The days when he couldn't become a spirit qi professional made him feel like a walking corpse.
And now, the light was so dazzling that Liu Jie couldn't look away no matter what.
Lin Yuan extended his hand solemnly.
Two pairs of hands held together.
Although the two of them did not use much strength, their grip was quite firm.
Lin Yuan said as he pulled Liu Jie up.
"Since you've chosen to become my retainer knight, I'll carry out my duties. In a few days, I'll help you with the initial treatment for your insect queen."
The rune oath had imperceptibly bound Liu Jie to himself.
Since Liu Jie had made an oath, Lin Yuan could accept Liu Jie's allegiance with a clear conscience.
He didn't even need to take any responsibility.
However, Lin Yuan was clearly not such a person.
After accepting Liu Jie's allegiance, the first thing Lin Yuan felt was that his responsibilities had increased.
Liu Jie was a former Radiance Hundred Sequence member, so no one would believe that he was his retainer.
Upon hearing that, the silly smile on Liu Jie's face grew wider.
Liu Jie knew that he was loyal to the right person.
"Actually, I wouldn't have rejected you if you had asked me to heal your Insect Queen."
For the sake of Frost City, Liu Jie was willing to sacrifice everything he had, his glory, and his dreams to protect it.
Lin Yuan rather admired such a person.
Therefore, from the moment Lin Yuan knew Liu Jie's identity, he had the thought of helping Liu Jie heal the Insect Queen.
However, he did not expect Liu Jie to be so straightforward and choose to become his retainer knight.
"Who doesn't try their best to walk to the end of their lives? Before, I was powerless and couldn't see hope, so I could only muddle through life. But now that hope has appeared, how can I not try my best to grasp it? From today onwards, I will be Young Master's sword and shield. "
Upon hearing Liu Jie address him as Young Master, Lin Yuan hurriedly replied, "Yes, Young Master.
"Just call me Lin Yuan. Are you going to follow me back to the Xia Region? My home is not in Redbud City. "
Liu Jie pondered for a moment and said.
"Lin Yuan, why don't I go to the Xia Region to look for you after three days? I still have something to do during these two days."
For the past two years, Liu Jie's life had been muddled and hopeless.
However, he had made a lot of money in the past two years.
Liu Jie used this sum of money to provide for over a dozen children and set up an education savings package for them on Star Web.
The education savings package included the expenses for school and fey selection.
Liu Jie's Star Web Card still had the 120 Radiance dollars that Lin Yuan had just transferred over.
This money was enough for Liu Jie to save the final sum of money for his education savings.
Lin Yuan did not ask what Liu Jie was going to do.
If Lin Yuan knew what Liu Jie was going to do, he would only feel admiration.
However, Lin Yuan would not do the same. This might be due to his worldview, choices, and trade-offs.
Lin Yuan opened the box with the two retainer crests.
Lin Yuan had just obtained this box a few hours ago.
Lin Yuan would never have thought that he would have to give away one of the two newly obtained retainer crests in just a few hours.
After looking at the retainer crests that Lin Yuan handed over, Liu Jie clenched them in his hand and wore them on his left chest.
Obtaining this retainer crests was unexpected for Liu Jie, but it was also within his expectations.
Liu Jie had sworn an oath with a Willpower Rune and did not need the protection of the Radiance Federation's system.
