Chapter 1224

(Unedited)

"Sigh'¦ If not for those fellows and not hurting their feelings, I would not be like this'¦" Xin Ja thought while lying in the carriage.

In fact, last night, he was not actually drunk. For some reason, the wine in his body would enter his dantian and be absorbed by his sphere. It was really weird'¦ he did not want to stand up too much so he pretends to be drunk until morning.

When he was about to go out as if nothing is wrong, he heard that the Generals and high-ranking officers are still knocked out. So if he came out as if nothing happened, then that would be a blunder and might raise a lot of questions, right?

So he pretended to be drunk for the sake of his secret and his camaraderie with the soldiers, at least for the last time.

An hour later while traveling down the road, Xin Ja slowly got up and look a bit embarrassed at the people in the carriage.

"Ugh'¦ Where'¦ where am I'¦" he pretends.

Hearing his words, Yao Mai Lin showed a hint of helplessness.

"We are already on our way home." She said while pointing at the scene behind the carriage.

"Really! Hahaha'¦" Xin Ja suddenly chuckled.

"Ugh'¦ My head is still aching'¦ Next time I should not drink wine'¦ It is truly not something that should be consumed by people'¦ It's not good at all." he said in a low voice.

The people around, look at him, especially the men.

"Haha'¦ Young lad'¦ Do not blame the wine. Blame yourself for being too weak'¦" the man said with a smirk.

"It does not prove anything'¦ If you got drunk on the battlefield, you're dead. If you got drunk on the streets, you're almost sure to be offending someone accidentally, then you're dead. So tell me'¦ what good will it do?" Xin Ja said a very realistic.

But he did not know that most people are having unrealistic thinking. The reason why they drink wine is that it is the only way for them to release their pent-up frustration and unrealistic thinking. Because once they face the real world, they would surely be filled with frustration. Well, this is the truth for most men, anyway'¦

"Yeah'¦ I agree with you with that young man. I wonder why men like drinking wine when it causes too much trouble'¦ My husband would lose his mind when drinking'¦ Sigh'¦" a female wearing a medical master robe said.

"Yeah, it really does not do any good except for them getting drunk'¦ They could even cause more trouble than good'¦" another woman said.

The men in the carriage suddenly turned serious. This is because wine would always be their way out of their frustrations.

"You women do not know a thing'¦" a middle-aged man suddenly said.

Xin Ja shifted his gaze to the middle-aged man.

"We men bond through drinking. We form a friendship through our booze'¦" he said with a proud expression.

Pfft'¦

Xin Ja almost laughed out loud.

"Young man, are you mocking me?" the middle-aged man suddenly said with an annoyed expression.

"I don't know'¦ I mean, does living a good and simple life already enough? I guess the reason why men like drinking are because of the brawls and the courage they get from it, right?" Xin Ja suddenly said as if he thought of something.

"My father is like that'¦" he added.

"Humph'¦ You are still young and have a lot to understand'¦" the middle-aged man said with a frown.

"Sir'¦ Many said that I am young and that I have a lot to experience in life'¦ when the soldiers of the kingdom chase after me, I am always alert. When it is time for me to relax, I dare not lose my mind because, at every turn, the enemy would be after me. If I put my frustrations through drinking, what do you think would have happened to me?" Xin Ja asked as he really thought that wine is bad for his mind.

"This'¦ Sigh'¦ Just wait when you grow up, then you will understand the frustrations of the old generations'¦" the middle-aged man said while looking at the sky from the large opening behind the carriage.

Everyone became silent as the topic of wine was very serious and sensitive for each of the passengers inside.

Most women hate their husbands when they are drunk, but they have no choice but to support their husbands. For men, they like drinking because of habit and culture.

So, each of the people in this carriage has their own reason, no one is right, and no one is wrong.

Xin Ja did not bother anymore and quickly sat beside Yao Mai Lin.

"You're causing trouble again'¦" she said with a frown.

"Hehe'¦ I just feel like talking about it." Xin Ja sheepishly smiles.

"Senior Yao'¦ Do you want for us to arrive early?" Xin Ja suddenly asked.

"Well, of course, but the carriages are traveling really slow. Plus the convoy can make us safe'¦" she said with a smile.

"Well, I have a way'¦ I've been using this when I was being chased. I have not shown this to the military before'¦ Hehe'¦" Xin Ja said with a chuckle.

"Alright'¦ Please, surprise this senior then'¦ my little junior." Yao Mai Lin said with a teasing smile.

Xin Ja nodded and then hopped out of the carriage followed by Yao Mai Lin.

The people inside look at the two people who just got off with curiosity in their eyes.

Xin Ja takes out his Mule and acted as if he takes out something from it.

When the people saw that he has a Mule, they all showed surprise and envy in their eyes.

Then Xin Ja takes out his motorcycle.

When the people saw this, they all gasped.

"What is that?"

"That looks weird'¦ It has two weird-looking wheels'¦ but how does it travel?"

"Hmm'¦ I think I have seen this kid before in the base'¦" the middle-aged soldier suddenly muttered.

Then his eyes lit up.

"Ah, right'¦ He is that fellow'¦ the one who created the Mecha. Young, short, handsome, and has short hair'¦ It is him!" the man added.

"Really? Then that thing he just takes out'¦ should be something he just created."

"Ah, no wonder he said that wine is bad for his mind. He always uses his brain to think about those things'¦" someone commented.

Xin Ja hopped on the motorcycle and puts on a black helmet. He then gave the other helmet to Yao Mai Lin.

"Senior put this one on, and then sit behind me."

Yao Mai Lin frowned when looking at the helmet, when she put it on, she suddenly discovered that although the inside is dark once it is activated, she could see almost everywhere.

She shyly sits behind Xin Ja with reluctance.

"Senior, you have to hold on to me'¦ If not, then you might fall'¦" Xin Ja reminded.

Yao Mai Lin frowned, but she slowly leans forward and held Xin Ja's clothing. She knew how to ride a steed, so this is not new to her.

"Alright, hold on tight'¦" Xin Ja squeezes the throttle and the motorcycle speeds forward.

The people watching them showed excited expressions on their faces.

Soon, they passed the carriage they were in, and then the next one and the next until they have reached the front of the convoy.

Those who are riding on steads showed weird reactions while watching the two people on a weird vehicle.

The speed they are traveling is something that they were curious about.

When the two reach the front of the convoy, Xin Ja waves his hand.

"We'll go first! Bye, bye!" Xin Ja shouted.

When the people at the front saw this they all frowned.

"Who are those two'¦" asked a middle-aged man wearing an officer's uniform.

"Sir, that was Junior Officer Xin, and I think the female behind him is Junior Officer Yao'¦" an officer replied.

"What is that thing they were riding on?"

"Ahem'¦ I do not know sir, but if it involves Junior Officer Xin, we should not be surprised anymore."

And so, the officers at the front and the soldiers escorting the convoy showed envy and curiosity in their eyes while watching the slowly disappearing sight of Xin Ja and Yao Mai Lin.

It took them a day and a half before Xin Ja and Yao Mai Lin reached Ogden town. The speed that the motorcycle has traveled is really fast. Although they encountered some trouble on the road, like a pack of hunting wolves, some flying beasts, and others, they easily took care of those things using their compressed air weapon.

Soon, the view of the town's wall appears in their sight.

"Senior, I think we should get off here, we do not want to attract more attention'¦" Xin Ja said as he stopped the motorcycle.

"Umm'¦ This thing is really cool'¦ Junior Xin'¦ I'm graduating'¦ I wish that you can gift me something. If I can only have such a thing, then I would surely be happy'¦" Yao Mai Lin said with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

"Alright, alright'¦ I will build you one'¦ Happy Graduation, Senior Yao!" Xin Ja said while also showing a happy smile.

"Papa'¦ I'm home'¦" he muttered while looking at the town before him.
