Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 141: Secuil The Story of Making Blood Boil
From day to night Zhang Yu was inside the tree trunk. He absorbed the fragments of the dragon god soul that were trapped within the old tree after obtaining the owner's approval.
Although feeling the pain of forging, but all paid off with the change of his healthy soul reborn and become stronger.
"It was unexpected that you absorbed the shards of my soul quickly. It seems that this matter is indeed predestined," said the dragon god.
Zhang Yu spread his gaze around. "The energy of that power now no longer exists. But is there any chance of another shard of your soul on this mountain?"
"What do you think I am?! How can you talk like that. If you're still lacking too, why not just absorb me?!" the snort of the dragon god that was still within the dragon bracelet.
"If I could have done it from the beginning. Unfortunately I can't absorb your soul."
Zhang Yu's sentence left the dragon god dumbfounded. He cursed furiously and sulked. "Crazy boy! I really don't think you have such intentions. Don't bother me anymore, I'd better refocus on restoring the state of my soul."
The dragon bracelet that was momentarily flashing was now completely extinguished. The dragon god that was once still so chatty was no longer heard of.
At the same time Zhang Yu heard the sound of footsteps from outside. Closer and closer until only a few meters remain.
Zhang Yu came out. It just so happened after a few steps passed by a man wearing brown clothes. Their eyes met but the man only looked at her lightly and then passed by her.
Not long after came another young man in similar clothes. When he met her, the young man stopped before stepping in search of his friend.
"Xiao Yuze! Don't go carelessly. Your father asked me to teach you back to the inn."
The deg!
Zhang Yu's heart seemed to stop when he heard this name. Xiao Yuze, it is one of the younger generation that will participate in the battle of heaven representing the Xiao Clan. Also if not mistaken, hearing from Liu Mengqi, this Xiao Yuze was the son of the patriarch of the clan.
"Zhang Yu!"
Liu Mengqi's voice echoed from a distance. Seen the silhouette of the girl who ran while circulating her eyes looking for her whereabouts. When he saw it was in front of his eyes, Liu Mengqi immediately quickened his footsteps.
"I've been looking for you from end to end at the top of Tiankong Mountain since afternoon but you're here! Where have you been exactly?!" liu Mengqi asked slightly raising her voice.
Liu Mengqi was in charge of Zhang Yu because he was the representative of Saturn. So when Zhang Yu did not return to the inn Liu Mengqi asked his father to go look for him.
Zhang Yu only smiled as he scratched the nape of his head that was not itchy. Then swing your legs while taking Liu Mengqi back.
"Didn't your father look for me, so don't waste time here. Let's go," he asked.
Liu Mengqi snorted. "Aren't you aware of who this situation is because of?"
"All right, it's my fault. So can you not talk about it now? I really had some business a while ago."
Liu Mengqi said nothing but a snort. But even so he also did not want to take care of this matter anymore and returned to the inn.
After arriving at the inn where the Liu family stayed overnight. Zhang Yu went to Liu Bei's room over the message Liu Mengqi had delivered. But it seemed like there were guests in the room right now.
"Liu Mengqi asked me to go straight in to meet her father. But is this okay in this situation?"
Zhang Yu momentarily remained silent doing nothing. He kept glancing towards the door hoping someone would open the door for him. But it seems like the conversation inside is still going on.
"Zhang Yu, is that you?"
"Zhang Yu, just go in,"
With this sentence Zhang Yu pushed the door doubtfully. He stepped in when the door opened. Inside the room was a man in his fifties.
Zhang Yu actually did not need to pay much attention to it. However, the familiar brown clothes made Zhang Yu recall his encounter with Xiao Yuze.
He was a person of the Xiao Clan!
"Young man, is there something wrong that you notice me like that?" ask the man. Liu Bei suddenly raised his face after hearing this question.
Ahem...
Liu Bei signaled Zhang Yu to lower his gaze and show his courtesy. But instead of lowering his gaze he stared increasingly fixed.
"Zhang Yu, he is the patriarch of the Xiao Clan. How nice of you to greet them and leave a good impression on them."
Zhang Yu glanced at Liu Bei at a glance. He closed his eyes a few times before putting together an indifferent hand.
His attitude like this made Liu Bei's heart beat twice as fast. "Since when has his attitude become like this? He's usually very polite, but now ...."
Liu Bei looked at the frown on Xiao Lang's forehead, the Xiao Clan Princess and immediately pulled Zhang Yu to a seat while neutralizing the situation.
"Patriarch Xiao Lang, he's the representative I was referring to earlier. He will represent Saturn in the battle of heaven, Zhang Yu."
Xiao Lang looked at Zhang Yu from top to bottom. He could confirm his age was slightly younger than his son, but the aura of his strength was not much different.
"Big Lord Liu, it's already night. Looks like I have to go back to my inn." After saying that Xiao Lang stood up from his chair. Liu Bei also spontaneously stood up and took the initiative to drive him.
"Patriarch Xiao Lang, I'll take you, I'll take you" he said.
Zhang Yu was in the room himself. He got up and followed them from a distance.
At the same time Liu Mengqi, who was about to return to his room, happened to see Zhang Yu strolling around like a thief. He approached her trying to surprise her.
However before opening his voice Zhang Yu turned his head calmly then looked at him full of astonishment. "Miss Liu, why are you walking around like that?"
Liu Mengqi was shocked. He straightened his body. "Who is sinking. I was just following you. Why are you sneaking around like a thief? What are you after following my father and Patrick the Xi Clan?"
Zhang Yu was momentarily silent. Suddenly in his head came the idea to lure Liu Mengqi with a question. "Miss Liu, do you know about the events of twenty-one years ago that happened to the Xiao Clan?"
Liu Mengqi looked to be frowning. He did not answer it immediately and asked again. "Why are you asking me that?"
"Emm .. I heard that the previous Xiao Clan was still closing itself off from the outside world. But now suddenly participate in the battle of heaven. Of course I was curious about their situation," said Zhang Yu who managed to trick Liu Mengqi.
The girl was not suspicious at all. He said what he knew.
"There is an internal conflict that forces them to confine themselves to the outside world. I don't know much, but if it wasn't wrong back then the daughter of the former patriarch of the Xiao Clan who was also the sister of the current Patriarch of the Xiao Clan, defied the rules of the clan by marrying an inappropriate man. Because of that the daughter of the former patriarch was locked up and forcibly separated from the man of her choice."
Hearing this Zhang Yu's eyes turned reddish. Not wrong again, the woman in the story is definitely her mother and the inappropriate man in question is her father.
He does not know the exact root of this problem. But hearing a piece of the story of his parent leader, he felt his entire body hot and blood in his veins boiling.
