The parts with more loess were muddy, and he figured a carriage’s wheels would sink right in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to wait another two days before setting off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an open area of the Inner Castle, Ronin threw a small wooden stick high into the air. \"Black Tiger, catch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words had barely left his lips when a black shadow shot out, racing toward the stick. Just as the stick reached the end of its arc, the creature leaped up and snatched it from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin exclaimed in admiration. Black Tiger’s leap had been at least a meter and a half high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That might not seem very high, but Black Tiger was only a month-old cub, no more than fifty centimeters long. For it to jump that high, its explosive power was incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having caught the stick, Black Tiger wagged its tail and quickly ran over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin wasn’t stingy. He took a piece of dried meat from the clay bowl Bella was holding and tossed it to the cub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Tiger caught it deftly and trotted to a corner to gnaw on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Ronin had separated him from the dogs for the past two days, Black Tiger had retained the habits he’d picked up from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin walked to Black Tiger’s side and reached out to take the jerky. Sure enough, the little guy bared his teeth and let out a low growl—a classic sign of a dog guarding its food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHAP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin smacked the cub on the head and smoothly took the jerky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guarding your food, are you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then offered the jerky again to repeat the lesson. Black Tiger reacted the same way, earning it a second smack, then a third...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an unknown number of smacks, Black Tiger seemed to get it. When Ronin’s hand reached out, the cub subconsciously flinched back and let him take the jerky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, it wagged its tail, looking up at Ronin with a fawning expression that seemed to say, ’Here, boss, you have it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s more like it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin gave Black Tiger’s head a good scratch and let him eat the jerky in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, that’s enough for today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin clapped his hands and washed them in the basin of water his butler, Chahar, brought over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I leave in a couple of days, remind Erin to continue this obedience training with Black Tiger. Make sure she’s careful, though. Don’t want the little guy to bite her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, my lord. I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chahar had been uncharacteristically free to stay at the castle lately. \"My lord, when do you plan to set off for Wushan Castle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Around the fifteenth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin dried his hands with a towel. \"Leia is making good progress on the silk scarf. She said it’ll be done in another five or six days, so I’ll wait for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right. And get that Storm Demon Wolf coat the tailor finished. I need to pack it for the trip.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two items were the birthday gifts Ronin was bringing for Lurans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Marquis will be delighted with these gifts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suppose so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waving his hand to dismiss Chahar to his own tasks, he then began to stroll leisurely through the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wandered into the hall of the Outer Fortress and saw Erin, with the air of a stern elder, teaching David, Bella, and the others how to read. The students, all eighteen or nineteen years old, were scratching their heads and furrowing their brows, looking utterly miserable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They grew especially nervous when they saw Ronin, terrified their Lord would decide to quiz them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin offered a few words of encouragement before climbing a tower. From there, he watched a squad of Guards returning to their posts as twilight fell in the west—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cavalry had also been recruited over the past half-month. They didn’t have enough horses yet, but they could still train alongside the Guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his walk, Ronin returned to his chambers in the castle and sat at his desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Tiger, having finished his jerky, followed him inside. Despite the cub’s small size, he was surprisingly fast on the stairs, sometimes leaping several steps at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He circled Ronin’s pant leg a few times, and seeing that his master had no intention of paying him any attention, he lay down to one side and started chewing on a chair leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin couldn’t be bothered with the little guy. He took out parchment and a Feather Pen and began to sketch Porcelain designs to serve as a reference for making ceramic ware in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he’d been drawing one or two sketches from memory before dinner every evening for the past few days. A pile of seven or eight of them already lay on his desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin felt his artistic skills had improved considerably since he’d transmigrated. He figured he might even become a famous painter in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When I have more people under my command,’ he mused, ’I’ll have to compile a book to collect all my designs.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Feather Pen scratched across the parchment, slowly outlining the form of a small, heavy-bottomed teacup. Beside the drawing, he noted its dimensions and features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin was focused on his design, and Black Tiger was diligently chewing on the chair leg. But suddenly, the \"little dog\" stopped and stared intently at the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin didn’t notice anything unusual until the little creature started to whimper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong, Black Tiger?\" Ronin set down his pen and looked over, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Black Tiger get to its feet, staring at the doorway as if facing a powerful enemy, as though something it deeply feared was there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ronin saw nothing out of the ordinary. His manservant, Gallon, was standing guard in the corridor outside, and everything seemed normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s gotten into you?\" Ronin scolded laughingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Gallon couldn’t help but glance over. Thinking Black Tiger was baring its teeth at him, he shifted further away, his figure disappearing from the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Black Tiger started barking frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin was about to scold him again, but a sudden sense of foreboding rose in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It couldn’t be...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a second thought, he activated Wind of Inquiry. Through the eyes of the Wind Element, he sensed a human figure standing starkly just two or three meters in front of his desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, the figure lunged at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin cursed. With no time to react, he kicked hard against the floor, sending himself and his chair tumbling to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that very moment, a figure clad entirely in black robes appeared in the room. The dagger in his hand stabbed into the spot where Ronin had been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn’t moved, that dagger would have plunged right into his heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you dodged it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man let out a sinister, mocking laugh, sheathed his dagger, and drew a Longsword. He leaped over the desk and thrust down from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flowing Flame Sword appeared in Ronin’s hand, and as he poured Fighting Qi into it, it erupted with a fierce Flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re not a Basic Level Knight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was stunned, but his reaction was instantaneous. He immediately channeled his own Fighting Qi, forming a long Sword Aura and wrapping his body in a suit of cyan-black Fighting Qi Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two swords collided with a loud CLANG, kicking up a violent storm in the small study. All the papers on the desk were blown into the air, creating a scene of utter chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Tiger barked even more frantically. It charged forward, only to be thrown back by a blast of air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Gallon had heard the chair topple and was about to check on the commotion. He never imagined what was actually happening inside and froze in the doorway, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stalemate lasted but a moment. The immense Power of the black-clad man overwhelmed him, and Ronin was sent flying by the force of the strike, slamming hard against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-clad man didn’t hesitate. He lunged forward, raising his Longsword to take Ronin’s head with a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>",1451,"2026-05-28T18:54:30.468Z","2026-06-01T04:28:44.603Z",1,"novelbin.me","cdc42bc5ccd0baf332c17d9058b28459c25ae61bf5607b46634b3022e4148e69","lord-stripped-of-my-inheritance-from-the-start-chapter-135","lord-stripped-of-my-inheritance-from-the-start-chapter-133",402,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flord-stripped-of-my-inheritance-from-the-start-cover.jpg"]
