Eps. 145 — Meet Back
Jian Chen first went to the Association store before Manager Li escorted him to an Association branch inn recalling the almost dark day.
The arrival of Jian Chen was already known by the innkeeper, when Jian Chen entered it he was greeted well by the innkeeper.
The neatly lined maids saluted Jian Chen while the one who was being saluted could only smile awkwardly, according to him the Association's inn welcome was too excessive on him.
Jian Chen was given a special room there, a luxurious room and had a fairly spacious size, he was also told there were about ten servants ready to serve him.
Again Jian Chen only smiled awkwardly, he indeed did not reject the kindness of the innkeeper who had good intentions to visit him but not to the point of being said to be excessive.
Indeed the attitude of the innkeeper was quite discourse given the status of Jian Chen was an important person of the Association, as far as the pendant Jian Chen pointed out there were only a few who had it in the Miou clan and it was all the higher-ups of the clan.
Jian Chen thanked the innkeeper for the welcome and walked to his room on the top floor. This Asosiai inn is large, there are about five floors that are owned.
Jian Chen instantly dropped his body onto the mattress when he saw the temptation of the cudding of his bed. Perhaps because he was exhausted after a long trip, he fell asleep right after.
***
Two days passed in the Association inn, Jian Chen spent his time aside from practicing, he also tried to pry further information about the Ancient Tomb.
There is some information that attracts his attention, especially because the Ancient Tombs are now flooded with Daiji city visitors, especially most of them are warriors.
They also went straight to the ancient Tomb to look around first and there were also those who went straight into it, those who entered some could not return while those who still survived became frightened and had no interest in the ancient tomb.
Of course the news was quickly heard, they began to ask what was inside the Tomb so that it frightened him. While those who have entered only answer that it is very dark inside and there is a dangerous creature whose comrades were killed because of it.
Instead of fear for those who hear it makes the warriors more enthusiastic, they become convinced that there is a valuable treasure in the Tomb and the creature spoken of may be the guardian.
Jian Chen also heard that, after some time he finally decided to go to the Tomb itself.
The ancient tomb was to the west of Daiji City, it took at least 1 hour by running from the city.
Jian Chen alighted on one of the tall tree branches after being near the Tomb, he could see from afar there were several guard posts there guarding the Tomb.
Jian Chen raised one eyebrow when he saw the Tomb that was not in accordance with his expectations, compared to the Tomb, Jian Chen could call the place like a cave because it seemed to merge with the hill above it.
There were several groups not far from the tomb, they were warriors who seemed to be about to enter. Before the warriors approached, the tomb guards directly examined them first.
"Sorry, to get inside you have to be twenty years old and above. Young Swordsmen must not trace this tomb!" Said the guard.
"But I am nineteen years old, soon I will be 20, my strength is also sufficient to get in there." The young banned swordsman seemed to try to persuade the guards.
"I'm sorry but this is an order from the Mayor, if your group wants to come in then you have to go without it."
Jian Chen who heard that with his celestial eyes instantly patted his eel, he almost forgot about a trivial thing like this. Of course, the guards did not allow the age of adolescence seemed to be allowed to the Ancient Tombs.
It seemed like he had to use a disguise, using a mask was the alternative he thought.
About two hours Jian Chen observed the tomb and during that time he also saw there were several groups who were interested in it.
Jian Chen sighed, the warriors did not love his life when there was already a group that did not return after entering. But upon second thought he was also no different from the ones they were, although many dead Jian Chen still still wanted to try to enter and hope for his luck.
The reason he still thought so was because after observing the warriors who had gone inside, Jian Chen had found none of them who were in the Earth Realm.
Although it could not deduce anything, Jian Chen was confident with his abilities as well as his techniques he could escape from the tomb or even obtain something within it.
Before he stepped away suddenly his attention was on one of the five people who were near the tomb.
Jian Chen narrowed his eyes as he got to know the group, although they wore masks to cover his face Jian Chen could not possibly not recognize them when he saw that silver hair.
'Why are they here?' Jian Chen frowned looking at the five Lan brothers.
"Hey, pretty lady, you guys shouldn't be here, this isn't a good place for pretty girls like you guys..."
A few men who were in another group approached Lan Qiaoqiao's entourage. They seemed interested in seeing the five silver-haired girls, even though they were covered in masks, those who saw them could realize the girl had an attractive face.
Lan Qiaoqiao did not respond to the man's remark, making the empress offended by him.
"Miss, instead of you looking for luck at the tomb that could put your lives in danger, how about you accompany us - we are..."
Lang Qiaoqiao snorted and started walking away with his four sisters. They did not look at the group of men.
"Miss, don't sell that expensive, just relax we can pay it if you want..." The man stopped Lan Qiaoqiao's footsteps by touching her shoulder, the deed immediately made Lan Qiaoqiao react.
Lan Qiaoqiao twisted her body then gave a powerful enough kick, making the man instantly flung about the members of her group.
"One more time you touch me, not only will you break your hand, I'll kill you!"
The man who had previously been kicked tightened his teeth was upset, he hated rejection the most and the act was enough from the limits of his emotions. "Miss, you asked me to use this way..."
The man directly advanced and attacked Lan Qiaoqiao using his empty-handed technique as well as his muscles.
Facing this, Lan Qiaoqiao avoided several blows with the minimum possible movement before he finally attacked using the science of kicking that hit his stomach.
The large-bodied man grimaced, fresh blood appearing on the edge of his lips, before he wanted to retort Lan Qiaoqiao giving a follow-up kick that sent him back thrown into his group.
"First cousin, we better not carry this on..." Lan Yueyue warned Qiaoqiao against attacking further after seeing the surrounding attention towards her.
Lan Qiaoqiao looked around then sighed, she immediately told her four sisters to hurry away and return to the city.
Before the fifth moved further, the man had already blocked his steps, this time he was not alone but with his entire group.
"You think you can go as you like after giving me a kick, don't expect you to survive after all this..."
The man gave his group instructions to besiege the five Lan sisters, they might not have any intention of killing but clearly had evil intentions.
"Do you have no shame in facing five women with your entire group?!" Lan Qiaoqiao stared intently at the man she had just kicked. "It's in the city, if you commit a crime or a crime, you can deal with the government!"
Lan Qiaoqiao was not afraid of fighting the group with her sister, she simply did not want to get into unnecessary trouble.
Although the group of men were dozens, all of them were in the Soul Realm and only one person had reached the Life Realm that was the man earlier. Fighting him is not a difficult thing for him.
The man looked unconcerned, basically they were robbers so where to care about a rule. The ancient tomb also attracted the attention of evil people like them.
Jian Chen who had been observing since then finally could not let the incident go any further, he immediately jumped up and landed there.
His appearance amidst Lan Qiaoqiao and the group of men immediately shocked those who saw. All so quickly, not only was Jian Chen's arrival undetectable eve of his existence, he also appeared light when it touched the ground, but he also looked light, there was no dust flying as Jian Chen landed as if his body was as light as a smooth feather.
