Legend of the Fighter (2)
Chapters... 65: The matter of the Heavenly Heart Sect
"Sorry, not everyone can enter the area of the Heavenly Heart Sect." A guard stopped Zhou Fan's entourage when it was about to enter Xinyan City.
Shao Mingrui took out a token, it was an identifying mark that was the identity of a disciple of the Heavenly Heart Sect.
The cross guard brought his face closer, looking at the token in the hand of the black-robed figure in front of him. "That identification mark cannot prove you are part of the Heavenly Heart Sect, it could be that you are a bandit who snatched away one of our members' tokens."
Shao Mingrui clucked in annoyance, because he could not prove if it was his, his mother's.
Simultaneously, an old woman walked across them. "Aunt Ni?!" Shao Mingrui called out to the old woman.
The old woman who looked to be in her sixties stopped her legs, she slowly turned around and walked towards the guard as well as the three black-robed figures.
"Who called me?" The old woman named Ni Quero looked at the four people before him.
The guard who saw Ni Quero's arrival immediately bowed. "Greetings Elder Ni," Ni Quero nodded his head in reply to the guards' greetings.
"Who called me?" ask again in an impatient tone.
"Aunt Ni... It's me, Rui'er. Song Yalin's son." Shao Mingrui opened the face covering and revealed a smile on his face.
Ni Quero stared in disbelief. "You're Rui'er?! It's been decades you haven't visited your aunt." Ni Quero hugged Shao Mingrui, ignoring Zhou Fan and the other two.
"Come on, let's go in. Why are you living on the border?" Ni Quero pulled Shao Mingrui in, Zhou Fan and Shin followed behind.
The guard's face could be relieved as the three robed figures did not mind his attitude trying to restrain them, even doubting the identification marks given.
If Ni Quero had heard of this matter, he would have gotten something bad.
"Rui'er, your mother..."
"Mother's gone, it's been a long time." Shao Mingrui smiled wryly, he grabbed the glass before him.
"Well, he had chosen his destiny, entered into the imperial family and faced so much strife. You don't have to be sad, maybe he can still see you from his place, see the son's life just his wayang." Ni Quero was the younger brother of Song Yalin, Shao Mingrui's mother.
Their relationship was very close, but ever since Song Yalin entered the palace, the two of them had met so rarely, until the news of Song Yalin's death made Ni Quero so sad.
"Emn, who are these two people, it doesn't seem to be just ordinary people." Ni Quero looked at Shin's strength, he could see at least it wasn't much different from him, but while trying to figure out Zhou Fan's strength, he only found a very steep hole.
"This is Zhou Fan, he is my brother. This is Shin, the general's residence guard." Shao Mingrui directed his hands at each one he called.
Zhou Fan and Shin opened the hood that covered their faces, how surprised Ni Quero was when he saw the face of Zhou Fan who was very young.
"Senior Ni, junior wants to ask. Actually what happened in Xinyan City, during the trip to this residence, the junior felt that there was something that made the residents so worried. It was as if a terror had threatened their safety." Zhou Fan kept his hood, asking in a soft voice.
Ni Quero sighed. "You have sharp eyes, your observations are so precise. However it is a matter of Xinyan City, you should leave this city immediately."
Zhou Fan no longer continued, although he was curious about what befell Xinyan City.
Instead of Shao Mingrui, he was seen frowning, clearly a considerable curiosity between his faces.
"Auntie, I'm leaving soon, but can't you tell us what's going on, because it could have an impact on our trip." Shao Mingrui then explained about his plan, he was fully convinced that he had gotten to know who Ni Quero really was.
"So you want to gather support, intending to join the fight for power with the two princes. It would be very dangerous, the power of turning people into demons, because the power of brotherhood is forgotten. There is nothing good about the imperial throne, why not just give up and live quietly?"
At first glance Ni Quero's facial expression looked gloomy, he was so dislike of something related to the empire, it was also what made him stay in the Heavenly Heart Sect, even though if he came out, he was also, he could be someone with a big name.
But for the old woman, living only once, there was no need to spend time on something like that, use her best, and do what she wanted.
"Aunt Ni, if I can choose, then living as an ordinary person is my choice, but fate has already determined, I can't just let go of this destiny, because in my hands there is so much hope for every inhabitant of the empire." Shao Mingrui said confidently, it seems like the anxiety he had felt in the past year has become an unshakable determination.
"Because like that, I can no longer force, everyone has the right to choose, and that's what you choose." Ni Quero sighed in disappointment, however he expected his sister's son to live a quiet and peaceful life, but what would be said if the decision had been taken.
"Senior Ni, it seems like the problem you are referring to is coming back." Zhou Fan saw Zhou Jim coming while carrying a fifth level beast corpse.
Ni Quero's eyes widened when he saw the red wolf carrying a beast corpse. He spontaneously ran out and headed to one of the corners.
Zhou Jim placed the corpse of the beast beside Zhou Fan's seat, which was directly inserted into the storage ring by him.
"Just as I thought, the city is under threat, my series has been sweeping, and he managed to capture a level five boar beast." Zhou Fan glanced at his two comrades.
"What should we do, I'm sure the beast that attacked was not only tier five six, because it couldn't be just that if it overwhelmed the Heavenly Heart Sect." Shao Mingrui did not think that he would take on the role, basically, that beast power was higher than him.
However it was different from what was inside Zhou Fan's head, instead it became a rare opportunity, who knew there would be an ice-elemental level eight beast appearing. It is unfortunate if it is missed.
"Since we are already here, why not help the Heavenly Heart Sect, this will be the first support after leaving Bei Xian City." Zhou Fan was only thinking about whether there was an ice-elemental eighth-level beast, although what was said before was not entirely wrong.
Shao Mingrui thought for a moment, nodding in approval to Zhou Fan's proposal.
Zhou Fan smiled faintly, he then darted following where Ni Quero was going.
