Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 243: Long Empire
Late in the afternoon the ship arrived at Kita Xing Zou. Zhang Yu thought he was the last person to leave the ship. But it was unexpected that Duan Jian had also just walked out of the room.
"Young Master, what a coincidence," he said with a fluffy smile.
Though, Duan Jian had been on standby in front of the room ever since the ship entered the territory of Xing Zou City. He was indeed deliberately waiting for Zhang Yu, even pretending to return to the room when he heard the sound of his footsteps approaching.
"Young Master, where are you going?" duan Jian asked after they got to the bottom.
Zhang Yu paid little attention to it. But as Duan Jian continued to follow him made Zhang Yu have something to convey to him. "Since you're so eager to do something, can you help me figure out the list of academies that will be participating in the intercollegiate tournament?"
Zhang Yu completely forgot to ask about this to his teacher. Because there was Duan Jian who wanted to do something for him so all of you asked him to find out.
With his position as the deputy head of the Saturn branch, it should not be difficult to get that information.
"alright. But ...."
"I wait for you there," Zhang Yu said as he pointed at one of the inns.
Baru also wanted to invite Zhang Yu to the branch hall, but before she could say it it seemed like her intention was already legible.
Haiyan...
Duan Jian sighed. "good. Young Master just wait there. At night I'll come and give you all the information you need."
Zhang Yu simply waved his hand as he walked towards the inn.
At night, Duan Jian actually came. Even he came right when the new sun was sinking.
"All the information the Young Master wants is here. Young Master can see it first."
However Zhang Yu was not so rushed, so directly stored the scroll within his storage ring.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? What if I eat with me?"
Duan Jian was shocked to the point of being dumbfounded. Without saying much he immediately nodded.
Zhang Yu was speechless seeing Duan Jian's response. Just having dinner together but he already looks very happy.
Zhang Yu became suspicious if Saturn did not give its workers proper food. So ridiculous.
But this is life. Everyone's level of happiness is different. Therefore, never assume the happiness of others because trivial things are excessive. Because we never know what he's been through.
"Young Master, next time if there's time come to the branch building. I'll serve you myself and I won't let go until I'm satisfied."
Zhang Yu nodded his head. "I'll consider it,"
After dinner Zhang Yu immediately returned to his room. He unrolled the scroll Duan Jian gave him and looked at what information he had prepared for him.
Zhang Yu initially thought it was really only the name of the academy that would participate in the academy tournament. But Duan Jian also included all the information related to the tournament. Even the rules and systems of tournaments are held survival.
So out of the fifteen representatives of the academy will be sent to a place that no one else but them. That'sallthatis. The full rules may still be a secret.
Zhang Yu spread out his body and began to close his eyes. He saw a pendant in his necklace that had the name of the son there.
"If you think I left too suddenly," Zhang Yu murmured. Although Zhang Yu had previously told through letters to the people in the clan including his wife if he would run the task of the teacher to represent the academy. But the feeling of leaving them completely still unfamiliar. Moreover, Zhang Yu in the past year had never left the clan and had always been by their side.
The next morning Zhang Yu decided to tour Xing Zou City while waiting for the day of the tournament to arrive that was three more days. It can be seen the state of the city becomes more crowded as the closer the tournament will be held.
Six academies of the Long Empire, then three academies of the Yang Empire. There were some of them who had two quota participants, while others only one included also the imperial academy that only had one quota.
Zhang Yu was not a problem. After all, the teacher does not charge a victory to take home. Somehow the outcome was certain he was just trying.
"Look! Aren't they from the south island academy? Those who are usually very secretive now come to take part in the tournament. It would become very interesting when their representative disciples were faced with the five more famous academies in the Long Empire."
Zhang Yu looked at the people dressed in white. When his attention was unintentionally fixed on a single figure of a man who was also paying attention to him, he immediately recalled the incident on the ship yesterday afternoon.
"So they're from the south island academy."
Zhang Yu nodded at a glance. When he tried to take his eyes off, but Lou Xian had absolutely no intention of pulling that sharp gaze from him.
Zhang Yu turned his shoulders. "Eitherway. It doesn't matter."
Zhang Yu left from there to resume his touring activities. In addition to the south island academy, Zhang Yu also saw the arrival of several other academies such as the crescent moon academy and the general star academy that were both from the Yang Empire.
"Young Master, it just so happens that again we can meet again."
Zhang Yu stared fixedly at Dian Jian.
As if sensing the suspicious gaze Dian Jian immediately explained if this was purely a coincidence. "Young Master, I really didn't know you were here. I came with Miss Liu Mengqi to review some places."
"He's not lying. He didn't even plan on coming here if it wasn't to accompany me." This gentle but resolutely impressed voice came from behind Duan Jian's back.
Duan Jian immediately lowered his head and retreated one step to stand behind Liu Mengqi.
"Duringly did not meet Zhang Yu," Liu Mengqi said as he reached out.
Zhang Yu simply replied to him and nodded his head. "It looks like Saturn is advancing. I'm really fascinated."
Liu Mengqi smiled wryly. Unwilling to discuss it he changed the topic quickly. "Congratulations to you. I heard you guys are married and have kids."
It took Zhang Yu a few seconds to reply to the sentence. "May Miss Liu be able to meet a good man soon and get married and have children too."
There was no word Liu Mengqi could say. He held back his face to stay calm and slowly nodded his head while thanking him.
"I'll remember it. Duan Jian, let's go."
Duan Jian lowered his head to Zhang Yu. "Young Master, see you. I'm waiting for you to come to the branch building."
Seeing the departure of the two people Long Shen shook his head. "Daddy! Why did you even tell him that?"
Zhang Yu frowned. "What's wrong with my words?"
"Don't you see if he likes you? You should have made her a second wife instead of letting go with such words," Long Shen said.
However Zhang Yu disagreed on this point. Even if his words just now had hurt her, it would have been better since she would slowly forget about it. If Zhang Yu said the things that made him wish, it would be more troublesome in the future and surely it would hurt him even more for having expected more.
"Zhang Yu, the man staring at you is now trying to follow you."
Zhang Yu immediately felt his presence as he stared so sharply at a certain intent. But I think about letting it go longer. As he continued to follow even into the narrow alley, Zhang Yu started to not bear it.
Zhang Yu deliberately walked away from the crowd and immediately asked him to come out.
"Show yourself. No need to hide because you've come this far."
Right after that Lou Xian came out of hiding. Still with a sharp gaze, it was as if Zhang Yu had already snatched away something very precious to him.
"What do you want?" zhang Yu asked directly at the point.
Lou Xian laughed dismissively. "Yu Zhang! Don't you pretend not to know! Trouble on the ship. Isn't that what you did?!"
Yu Zhang's?
Instead of focusing on Lou Xian's statement, Zhang Yu instead focused more on the way he called his name.
Zhang Yu sighed. "I only saw if you wouldn't be able to defeat the bandit leader. Therefore I helped you by defeating him."
"Shut your mouth!" yell Lou Xian.
"Who needs your help? You can defeat him, so do you think I can't?! You just want to show off in front of a lot of people. It really pisses me off."
Zhang Yu did not expect that this man who looked matured had a very brat thinker. Show-off? It wasn't even in his mind when attacking the bandit leader. In fact, if he did not finish off the bandit leader immediately, it was likely that he was no longer here at the moment.
No thanks is not a problem. But intentionally coming in and making trouble is something that is left.
"So what do you want?"
