Black Swordsman
# Three Years More
"what people say later, a perfect emperor's daughter walks with this ugly face" Chuan said with a smile and did not say accept or reject her.
"i mean" Meilin asked as she looked at Chuan
"sorry princess, the next trip is not just a gesture, but there is a destination we cannot express" Chuan explained, smiling
"you," said Meilin.
"ignore your vows, after all the emperor and empress definitely do not want her daughter to walk with a person who just wanders without knowing when to stop" Chuan said
Everyone was speechless staring at Chuan and Rouyan. Their faces were full of questions in his heart.
"Chuan will accompany me to the land of clouds" Rouyan said suddenly making everyone dumbfounded.
Rouyan and his granddaughter are from that country. But because of something that threatened his grandson, they ran away. When the time comes, they will go home to that place.
"the land of clouds is far away and hard to find" Emperor Jing said. His ancestors also told him. In addition, there is a very large island country, or called the land of the sea.
"but,," Emperor Jing's explanation came to a halt.
"there's what's noble" asked Chuan curiously.
"there is an old sect in the northern part of the central continent, according to the story of the sect has to do with the land of clouds" explained Emperor Jing
There used to be a northern continent in this land. When there was a great upheaval due to the invasion of the land of the sea, the continent was destroyed and the rulers docked to the middle. Although the other four continents helped, the destruction of the continent left a major trauma.
A saint Emperor who led the continent died with his family. The patriarchs of clans and rulers of the regions that entered the northern continent sought refuge in the central continent.
According to the news circulating, the former northern continent is now a wild area. The dense forest and its mountainous region continue to be a hotbed of contention from groups seeking to rule.
"where is the old sect located" asked Chuan
"the ruins are on top of a vast mountain bordering the eastern continent" replied Khaisar Jing.
"thank you for the information" Chuan said
"hehehe, may you two manage to find that place" Khaisar Jing replied
"three is not two" Meilin interjected.
"you, you" said the queen
"i have sworn, like anything I will go with him" Meilin said as she looked at Chuan
"sister" said the prince, then silent
"i don't want to take my oath" Meilin said firmly
"for now I can't take the princess" Chuan explained. From childhood Chuan used to wander alone. There are many unexpected things on the way.
Chuan asked Meilin to practice hard and break through the earth stage. So that it can take care of itself when Chuan and Rouyan are in trouble. It should be in two or three more years that Meilin will be solid at that stage.
"if nothing has broken your heart yet, three more years I will come again" Chuan said calmly
"promise" said Meilin
"i promise, may the gods continue to protect me, and practice hard, and please help keep an eye on Lin Dong" Chuan said.
"yes" Meilin replied as she sparkled.
Actually Chuan's heart was already attracted to Princess Meilin. But his indifference he can cover all that. Also the feeling of interest in a woman has just experienced once.
But he did not know with his heart. Therefore, give time to arouse his own feelings and test the seriousness of Princess Meilin.
The emperor and the empress were delighted with the way Chuan had calmed his daughter. A wise decision despite circumstances did not give Chuan a chance to think deeply.
The banquet that felt relaxed and increasingly familiar among them all finally ended. Chuan and Rouyan who left the palace went to Commander Xhuan's house. The husband looks happy with his arrival.
"where is Lin Dong" Chuan said as the four of them relaxed inside the house.
"Elder Tian brought him to the sacred forest sect" said Lin Xhuan.
"Lin Dong also sends greetings to you" continued his wife
"thankfully, I hope he is not in a hurry to learn the techniques I give" Chuan said
"what's wrong" asked Chuan
"the two scrolls you gave me can't be opened" Lin Xhuan explained. According to Lin Dong, if you haven't really mastered the first one, you can't open the next scroll.
"the obedient child, hopefully with both parents is like that" Chuan said
"thank you" said Lin Xhuan and his wife sounding sincere.
Lin Xhuan also told about his fifty soldiers who went with the elders. Also the gifts he received from the emperor.
He had also briefly asked Elder Tian, why not wait for Elder Chuan. Elder Tian only replied diplomatically. When it was time for Elder Chuan to return home, he must have gone home. If it doesn't mean it's time to go back.
Chuan and Rouyan just smiled in response to Lin Xhuan's story. And their conversation continued, until Chuan said goodbye.
A sad look on his face as the two saw Chuan was about to leave.
"it's time to visit Lin Dong, don't wait for the boy to come home" Chuan said
"that's for sure" replied Lkm Xhuan
"all right, see you later" Chuan said, then took Rouyan away.
"thank you" said Lin Xhuan and his wife while bowing deeply.
Chuan and Rouyan darted away from the palace complex. The two look relaxed mingled with the bustle of doucan city. For quite a long time the two went in and out of several shops, but now walked towards a fairly magnificent building. The sky sword hall, emblazoned with a striking nameplate.
Chuan and Rouyan entered the building. A servant approached the two.
"someone can be helped" asked the waiter to be friendly
"how can I see Miss Ninie" Chuan asked
"let's know the names of the two of you" said the waiter
"just say Chuan" Chuan replied
"well, try not to ask first" said the waiter and continued to leave them both
While waiting, the two walked to see the various items on display in the room. Different types of weapons, medicinal ingredients even some items that look ancient.
The artifact mission room and the alchemist mission room, two doors above which were written.
"please if the young master is about to try" a woman's voice greeted him from behind.
"ohh, Miss Ninie" Chuan said after seeing who the money greeted him
"it was the mission of the pill pavilion" said Ninie pointing to the door where Chuan was stopping.
"hehehe, I just saw the look" Chuan said with a soft laugh
"what's looking for me" asked Ninie
"i need a map of the central continent, can you help" Chuan said.
"hemmm, are you going there" asked Nine curious
"iya" Chuan replied
"i can help show, but it's not for sale" Ninie said
"but if copying has conditions" he continued
"what are the conditions" asked Chuan
"help answer one mission for me" said Ninie
"all right, I'll try" Chuan said
Chuan and Ninie entered the alchemist mission room, while Rouyan continued to go around looking at all the displays. Chuan stood in front of a wall that was affixed to a question sheet.
Various questions in the aspects of medicine and pill making are written on it.
