LEGEND OF THE ETERNAL FLAME WARRIOR
Episodes 179. The Familiar Youth
"I'm sorry elder Yan, but before crossing the border, you will have to pay as much as 5 gold coins per person first. Said a swordsman who recognized Yan Shiki.
Yan Shiki simply smiled as he took out 20 gold coins from within his nat ring before the four of them finally crossed that border.
Yan Shiki did not refute the soldier because the rule had indeed been in effect since the reign of the Wei emperor who was none other than Zhu Qing's father.
"Alright, it's done, let's continue our journey." After completing the payment, Yan Shiki and the others now continued their journey and shot back towards the bufeng city.
The three continued to run quickly until shortly after, Ling Yan finally realized that the road they were going through was the place where Ling Yan killed one of the elders of the black centipede sect before.
"It seems like we'll be there soon." Ling Yan murmured, and sure enough 4 hours after his mutter, the four thousand-sword sect swordsmen had now arrived in bufeng city.
"Wahh." Said Shuyang who felt amazed at the sizeable city.
Shuyang's eyes were fixed on a tall building standing in the middle of the city.
"It's so tall that building." Said Shuyang again.
"It was the auction house building of the treasure auction association." Ling Yan replied which made Yan Shiki and Han Li frown.
"How did you know that the building belonged to an association? Have you been here before." Yan Shiki asked as she raised her eyebrows, while Han Li and Shuyang also looked at her full of probing and waited for a reply from Ling Yan.
"Ahahaha not like that, but...." Ling Yan then pointed to a signboard inscribed with the treasure auction association displayed on the top front of the building.
Yan Shiki and the others who saw that just nodded their heads in understanding. "I thought he had been here." Yan Shiki's.
Without waiting any longer, Yan Shiki and the others now continued their journey towards the Jia family residence and accidentally passed through the weapon and blacksmith shop where Ling Yan made his dagger and iron mask first.
From a distance Ling Yan could see the shopkeeper who was previously smacking iron there and again made Ling Yan remember the words of the blacksmith.
"Yu Ming's....." Mumbled Ling Yan who suddenly realized something.
"Wait, lest Yu Ming meant the old man...." Ling Yan suddenly stopped his steps and made Shuyang who was walking behind him crash into Ling Yan's body.
"Oh, hey why did you suddenly stop like that." Shuyang asked who saw Ling Yan's strange facial expression while staring towards the blacksmith shop.
While Han Li and Yan Shiki were seen continuing the journey because they were walking in front of the two.
Shuyang then followed where Ling Yan's eyes looked.
"Hmm is there something wrong with his blacksmith shop." Shuyang asked again which made Ling Yan wake up.
"Ah no, I was just thinking of making a weapon." Ling Yan replied while throwing his face away before returning to follow the footsteps of Yan Shiki and Han Li who were already quite far ahead.
"Teacher Yan, wait for us!!!" Shouted Ling Yan while half running.
Shuyang frowned for a moment before saying. " So weird."
Meanwhile in the blacksmith's place.
Ting!!!
*****
The Jia family residence.
Currently the Jia family residence can already be seen from a distance and again made Shuyang cluck in awe with this magnificent building belonging to the Jia family.
"Well, it's a house or a palace." Shuyang said in admiration.
And who felt amazed was not only Shuyang, but Han Li was also seen gawking at the Jia family residence that was so magnificent, only Yan Shiki and Ling Yan did not comment on any expressions on his face, he said, because both of them had seen that magnificent building before.
The guards of the Jia family residence can be seen changing their facial expressions after finding 4 warriors walking towards the residence.
The two guards who were guarding outside were able to look at the four swordsmen who were wearing the robes of the thousand-sword sect, and after the four warriors came before them.
"We are warriors of the thousand-sword sect who were sent to escort the Jia family's daughter." Yan Shiki opened the conversation.
The two guards were seen staring at each other for a moment before one of them walked into the residence to report the arrival of the four warriors.
While the other guard immediately invited Yan Shiki, Ling Yan, Han Li and Shuyang to follow him.
And before long Jia Wang who had received a report from one of his guards immediately approached Yan Shiki and the three sect disciples he brought.
"Greetings elder Yan." Sapa Jia Wang who already knew the identity of Yan Shiki.
Yan Shiki only smiled faintly while Ling Yan, Han Li and Shuyang were seen paying their respects.
"Chairman Jia Wang, will your daughter's journey begin today?" Yan Shiki asked straight to the point when he saw that there were several horse carriages there.
"Ah of course not elder Yan, I can't possibly directly have you escort my daughter before entertaining the elder and his three disciples first, besides... we also need to prepare a few more freight trains before my daughter travels tomorrow morning." Jia Wang's reply instantly concluded that their trip would take place tomorrow.
In fact Yan Shiki would not mind if their journey started immediately today, because for him the sooner they started, the sooner the mission was completed.
"Hmmm tomorrow morning huh, alright Han Li, Ling Yan, Shuyang, the three of you rest first, there are some discussions that I will talk to Chairman Jia."
"Good elder." Answer them simultaneously.
Yan Shiki then followed Jia Wang's steps towards his room, while Ling Yan, Han Li and Shuyang followed the guards who had been delivering them.
Ling Yan's eyes were unintentionally met with the sight of Jia Li's eyes that had been staring at the arrival of the four of them.
"It wasn't that she was the girl at the time, it turned out that my guess was true." Ling Yan said.
While Jia Li who was also directing his gaze towards Ling Yan was seen raising his eyebrows because the movements of the young man looked so familiar.
"That young man.why is his gait so similar to the young man who saved me back then." Inner Jia Li while imagining the masked swordsman who saved her.
Arriving at a small residence where the three will rest, without waiting for a long time again the three of them immediately tidied up their respective items.
"It looks like I should look for an opportunity to go to that blacksmith shop, I'm sure, the Yu Ming that the old man was referring to was the same person as Yu Fei and Yu Qian's grandfather, I'm sure, moreover, their clans are the same." Ling Yan muttered while looking towards Shuyang and Han Li who were tidying up his luggage.
