LEGEND OF THE ETERNAL FLAME WARRIOR
Episode 19's. The Treasure Auction Association
After the departure of the healer and prince Zhu Hyun, an awkward feeling began to be felt between the two, until Ling Yan finally began to open his voice to avoid the awkward feeling.
"Thank you for taking care of me here." Said Ling Yan disperse Zhu Qing's daydream.
"That's it. I'm actually the one who should thank you for saving me that night." Said Zhu Qing with a slightly quivering body as she recalled the bloody scene that night.
Ling Yan who was looking at Zhu Qing's frightened facial expression, was now trying to shift the conversation so that he would not constantly remember the incident.
"Oh yes then you asked me where I came from, but I did not have time to answer, I came from the residence of the Ling Clan in the Lotus city." Said Ling Yan.
"Lotus City, it's a small town in the southern part of the empire instead, and it's also very close to the forest of darkness." Zhu Qing.
"Yes that's right." Ling Yan replied.
"So it's not really a coincidence that you can be around the dark forest instead." Zhu Qing asked full of probes.
"Hehe, well I'll tell you everything, but I want you to keep this a secret to others, you promise." Said Ling Yan.
"All right, I promise." Zhu Qing.
Ling Yan then recounted all the events that he had gone through one year ago, starting from the moment he first entered into the dark forest to train, being chased by several demons, after which he had first entered the dark forest to train, until how he ended up unconscious near the forest of darkness.
But he does not tell about him who accidentally entered the deepest part of the dark forest, he only tells some facts and some of them are just a mere essay.
"Oh so you fainted from exhaustion after fighting the ape demon." Said Zhu Qing after hearing the story that came out of Ling Yan's mouth.
"Yes that's how." Ling Yan replied slightly shrugging his shoulders.
"I'm actually a little confused about you, when you can train at your own Clan residence, why would you choose to train in the dark forest instead." Zhu Qing asked confusedly.
"Ugh about that, there are some things I can't tell others including you." Ling Yan replied, recalling the times when he was ostracized by his own clan members.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." Zhu Qing's words were restrained.
"No problem, by the way it's actually been a long time since I've wanted to see the sights of the capital, can I ask you to accompany me around?." Asked Ling Yan.
Hearing Ling Yan Zhu Qing's words then nodded his head. "Well I'll ask my father for permission first, but are you okay?" Zhu Qing again asked worriedly.
"Let me be a warrior, my body is very strong, see I can jump." Ling Yan replied as he jumped down from where he was lying.
But after landing from his jump, he felt a slight cramping at his feet.
"Oh." Said Ling complaining of feeling cramps in his right leg.
"Haha." Zhu Qing only chuckled lightly at Ling Yan's slightly comical behavior in her eyes.

Finally after asking his father for permission, Zhu Qing and Ling Yan were now traveling around the city along with some soldiers as well as General Wu escorting them.
Under the watchful eye of General Wu and the three soldiers, Zhu Qing and Ling Yan walked through the streets of the city.
"Look at that building, it's so tall." Said Ling Yan staring in admiration at a building towering quite high up there.
"Oh it is a treasure auction association building, usually many warriors from various places who come there to just buy or auction valuables." Said general Wu.
"Really, what kind of items are they auctioning?" Ling Yan asked enthusiastically.
"There are many items that can be auctioned at a treasure auction association, it can be weapons, resources, various kinds of fighting techniques, and also a wide variety of cultivation pills." General Wu replied again.
"Is it true, I'm getting curious, what kind of cultivation pill do you mean?" Ling Yan asked with sparkling eyes.
"If Ling Yan's brother is so curious let's go there." Zhu Qing.
"Certainly, is it possible?" Ling Yan who heard the invitation from Zhu Qing became very happy and enthusiastic.
"Yes no problem, as my gratitude I will pay for the items Ling Yan bought if there is anything Ling Yan wants." Zhu Qing.
"Thank you princess uh I mean Qing'er, you're so nice." Zhu Qing actually did not have to bother to pay for the item Ling Yan was going to buy, because inside Shen Long's grout ring were millions or even tens of millions of gold pieces.
"It was nothing compared to when Ling Yan's brother saved my life that night." Zhu Qing.
Ling Yan only nodded slowly "But wait, if it wasn't wrong earlier you called me Ling Yan's brother?" Said Ling Yan again.
"Yes, my father told me that because Ling Yan's brother is one year older than me, that's fine." He said with a slight red hue on his face.
It was actually not Zhu Qing's father who told her to call Ling Yan by the name of a sis, but Zhu Qing himself who was on a whim calling him that.
"No, it's not that I can't, but you're the second person after Xui to call me that, I haven't seen him in a year, what is he doing right now?." Ling Yan replied who was reminded of Ling Xuilan.
Hearing Ling Yan tell others Zhu Qing's facial expression frowned slightly, meanwhile General Wu who saw Zhu Qing's face could only shake his head slowly.
"Xui, who is it, is he a very important person to Ling Yan's brother." Inner Zhu Qing wondered in her heart.
"It seems like the princess likes this child." General Wu muttered softly.
"Did you say something uncle Wu." Ask Zhu Qing.
"Ah there's nothing princess, let's head for the association." General Wu replied.
They then continued their way to the tall building, and when they got there they were greeted by several gatekeepers who had the ability of 1-star gold swordsmen.
"His gatekeeper alone is a 1-star gold swordsman, surely the items auctioned here are not ordinary items." Inner Ling Yan.
General Wu then took out the badge and gave it to the guard, after checking it the guard immediately let them in and had some of its members escort them up to the VIP room.
"Let's take the princess and young master, I'll escort you to the VIP room." Said the man.
Arriving in the room, there was the sound of enthusiastic cries of people who bid the price of the goods being auctioned.
