In front of the city gates of Guangzhou, a young man dressed in white stood beside two men dressed as Swordsmen. They were none other than Arya, Hulao and Honglong.
After entering the gate, they walked down the crowded streets of the merchants who sell on the shoulder of the road and the residents, buyers or warriors who passed by.
When they stopped in front of a large building, above the entrance of the building there was a large wooden board that read 'Silver Lotus Association'.
The four guards who had been standing there immediately confronted Arya and friends. The guards were silent with flat faces, one of them extending his hand.
Arya frowned, as she remembered when she entered the Silver Lotus Association building in Lanzhu kingdom, the guards there did not collect a penny from the visitors.
Arya handed one gold piece to the guard, but the guard asked for two gold pieces for each person.
With an annoyed grunt, Arya gave six pieces of gold. The guards opened the door and shifted her body to make way for Arya and her comrades to enter.
"Is there anything I can help you with, gentlemen?" One of the girls smiled kindly. His glance was briefly dazzled by Aryan's good looks, but he immediately lowered his head.
"Give this to your leader." Arya held out a golden plaque in the middle of which was a silver lotus flower.
The girl nodded, looking at the placard she received she guessed that Arya was an important customer. Then respectfully he lowered his head and rushed away.
While waiting, Arya looked through the collection of resources on display neatly on the shelves of the closet. The young man several times nodded in satisfaction because the quality of the resources sold here turned out to be much better quality than he saw in the Association building in Lanzhu city. He also found some pills made there.
A man hastily approached Arya, named Li Juan, the director who holds the mandate as the manager of this building.
After standing behind Arya, Li Juan bowed respectfully. "Sir, forgive us for not giving a proper welcome to welcome you. We really don't know if you'll come visit."
The girl who stood behind Li Juan seemed to put on a confused face, she questioned who exactly Arya so that her boss and the person who had the highest office in his place worked so respectful to the young man.
"What are you doing, get down." Li Juan snapped at the girl behind him in a soft voice.
"Wake up, don't be so formal. I did not give any news of my arrival before, so this is not your fault. There's actually a few things I need, I'm sure you guys have the information I want."
"Alright, then let's follow me, sir." Before stepping away, Li Juan whispered something that made the girl beside him widen his eyes.
The girl looked at Arya at a glance, then hurriedly lowered her gaze.
Arya patted the girl on the shoulder and followed Li Juan.
After getting the information he wanted, Arya then took out a mountain of resources.
Li Juan's eyes were round, his jaw dropped watching almost half of his room now filled with various resources that have a high selling price.
Li Juan's face shriveled as he read Arya's handout, the list of names on the paper were important people in the Guangzhou kingdom. He wanted to ask but Arya immediately explained what was in his mind, it made Li Juan stare suspiciously that Arya could read his mind. But Li Juan immediately dismissed the suspicion, because he did not feel any energy entering his mind.
"Why are you so scared? Isn't it with your ability, you alone are enough to overcome all the Swordsmen here?"
Aryan's words were indeed true, Li Juan's ability who was at the stage of the Hermit Swordsman was clearly able to defeat everyone in the kingdom.
"It's not like that sir, but we're forbidden to interfere with government matters. My only job is..."
"If this kingdom is dominated by black warriors, it will not also have an impact on our organization. I'm just telling you to investigate them anyway." Cut Arya.
Seeing Li Juan silent as if he was thinking, Arya opened her voice again. "I think you also already know the information about the demonic animals that entered this land. You need to know, the demon animal leader is currently undercover inside the kingdom."
Li Juan was startled, "Is that really what you said, sir..?"
"That's why I told you to investigate, let me handle them myself." Arya smiled faintly, regardless of Li Juan's expression, Arya then stepped out of the room.
Li Juan hurriedly got up and chased after the young man, he asked Arya to stay over because the day would soon be nearing night, but Arya refused him on the grounds that she wanted to inspect the entire city.
With Li Juan in between, Arya met Hulao and Honglong who were waiting for her on the first floor. Unexpectedly, there were also some royal soldiers who were waiting for him.
The soldiers rushed to search for Arya's whereabouts after hearing the gatekeeper's report of Physician Xian entering the city. Indeed it was a direct order from Princess Zhao Jing Yi, the princess was sure that Arya would one day visit her kingdom. For this reason Princess Zhou Jing Yi ordered all the gatekeepers to report to him if someone with Xian Physician identity ever entered the city.
"Sorry, are you a Physician named Xian?" One of the soldiers said kindly while looking at Arya from top to bottom.
Arya smiled then cupped her hands, "Right, you guys can go back and report to Princess Zhao Jing Yi that I don't need an escort. I still have business, after my business is done later I myself will come there."
The soldier fused his eyebrows together, and he wondered why the young man before him knew the meaning of his arrival. But because he did not want to take a headache, he also asked Arya to keep his words because if not, then he will get punishment from the princess.
Arya nodded, "I see, at the latest I come tomorrow or the day after."
After the departure of the soldiers, Arya along with Hulao and Honglong came out of the association building. They walked down the streets of the city, mingling with the residents who were busy with their respective activities.
