The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 197 - New Travel Friends Xianlin And Yueyue
The incident that befell the Shi Empire was more or less due to the matter of the throne. Shi Mubai's death made Shi Xuanyuan feel compelled to inherit the throne of the Shi Empire as soon as possible, but Emperor Shi said otherwise for saying Shi Xuanyuan was less deserving of being the next Emperor Shi by his nature.
Indeed Shi Mubai and Shi Xuanyuan supported directly from the various sects streams but Emperor Shi had more hope in Shi Mubai than Shi Xuanyuan. After a long debate Shi Xuanyuan finally influenced one of the pillars of the Iron Dragon Fortress to carry out a coup after one of his favorite concubines was raped in front of his eyes.
Shi Xuanyuan thought his beloved concubine was having an affair and without knowing anything, Shi Xuanyuan killed his beloved concubine along with the swordsman of one of the white schools who raped her on the orders of one of the pillars of the Iron Dragon Fort.
The coup began with the slaughter of all members of the white sect who raped his beloved concubine, then continued with threatening letters to all the sects who had no intention of joining under the name of Menara Sejalan.
With the three strongest sects helping him, Shi Xuanyuan finally managed to subdue several small to medium-sized sects that were forced into submission under the name of the Corresponding Tower.
Shi Xuanyuan's next move was a bloody battle in the Shilin Capital that killed the entire Shi noble family and threatened the other noble families. Some other noble families also did not escape the plan of slaughter if they were not willing to submit and did not recognize his power.
Other than having the heart to kill his own biological father, Shi Xuanyuan even tried to kill his younger brother. Moreover, she did not know her birth mother was raped by a swordsman who she trusted in front of her own younger brother, Shi Surao.
Shi Surao clenched his hands showing an expression of deep hatred towards Shi Xuanyuan and the rest of the people involved in the massacre.
Thanks to the servants and a few Eunuchs Shi Surao was finally able to escape. Naturally Shi Surao fled on top of the pile of corpses of those protecting him.
His only nanny was killed in front of him and Shi Surao continued to flee for days until he was stranded to Luodao City. Shi Surao's goal was actually the Yun Empire as he was well acquainted with Emperor Yun's biological son.
But Shi Surao who had never traveled alone had to accept the fact that his escape ended in Luodao City and became the pursuit of the warriors of the Corresponding Tower.
“Until I finally meet you two, you two are my saviors. Before entering Luodao City, I met those people.” Shi Surao pointed at the graves belonging to the warriors of the Iron Dragon Fortress that Bai Xianlin had killed.
‘Tragic story, but that Shi Xuanyuan was so brash!’ Bai Xianlin closed her eyes and released a murderous aura involuntarily, ‘I will kill her!’
“Aunt Xianlin!” Xue Bingyue reprimanded Bai Xianlin who was releasing a murderous aura.
Bai Xianlin swallowed her murderous aura and chuckled, “Hearing your story, I became increasingly eager to meet Shi Xuanyuan.”
Shi Surao only smiled and told Bai Xianlin and Xue Bingyue that her brother had taken the Sacred Sky Cloth from the cemetery at the end of the city.
A white cloth was used to store a few strands of hair of his favorite concubine. Shi Xuanyuan did not even know anything about the Sacred Sky Cloth.
Shi Surao indeed did not deny if his two brothers had great ambitions and made them blinded in direction. Including Shi Mubai who was intending to rule over the Jiang Empire, now Shi Xuanyuan who had ambitions to become the successor to the throne had managed to realize his goal despite not realizing he was merely a puppet of the pillar swordsman of the Corresponding Tower.
“Name it Guang Sha, Xiang Lixing, Hu Zhen, Shang Fu, Fang Heng and Feng Guan. The six names I mentioned were the main pillar warriors of the Linear Tower. Each of the two of them came from the Sky Pillar Tower, the Blood Valley Sect and the Iron Dragon Fortress.” Shi Surao gave important information to Bai Xianlin and Xue Bingyue.
Bai Xianlin herself had already heard this from the swordsman she had killed. In addition, Bai Xianlin also managed to extract other information that was no less important.
“Our destination has been confirmed by Yueyue. We will go to the Shilin Capital and meet Shi Xuanyuan to retrieve the Sacred Sky Cloth.” It was easy to say that but Bai Xianlin looked serious and not just said nonsense.
Xue Bingyue smiled and nodded her head gently, “We've come this far. We must keep moving until we get the Sacred Sky Cloth. What about you, Brother Surao?”
“Eh?” Shi Surao was shocked to hear Xue Bingyue's remark. He already had nowhere to go, but Shi Surao was confident that being with Bai Xianlin and Xue Bingyue would make him more mature and find new life experiences.
“May I be your travel companion? I'm not good at fighting but I'm good at cooking, I always have my nanny teach me.” Shi Surao held onto his chest and offered himself.
Bai Xianlin smiled widely, “I accept your offer, Raorao. Can I call you that?”
Bai Xianlin and hugged Shi Surao to calm the beautiful girl down. While Xue Bingyue closed her eyes as she had not expected to find anything like this on her way.
“Can I call you Yueyue?” Shi Surao had already stood before Xue Bingyue and asked sweetly. Xue Bingyue smiled sweetly and nodded her head gently.
“Hmmm..” That short reply was met with Shi Surao's warm embrace. Honestly Shi Surao was already amazed at Xue Bingyue at first glance.
“Why hug me?” Xue Bingyue was shocked by Shi Surao's actions. The little girl touched Shi Surao's chest softly and pushed him away.
Shi Surao laughed softly, “Sorry, I just want to hug you.” Shi Surao released his embrace and looked at Xue Bingyue.
Xue Bingyue turned her face and exhaled slowly, “How is Aunt Xianlin? Are we going now?”
“Yes, Kkta will be leaving now, Yueyue.” Bai Xianlin unleashed her inner power before leaping up and floating in the air.
Xue Bingyue took out the Snow Sword Suxue and gestured Shi Surao to get closer, “Handle if you don't want to fall.”
Shi Surao gulped in fear of heights. His hand clasped Xue Bingyue's hand tightly. Before long the Snow Sword Suxue floated in the air and flew at a speed chasing after Bai Xianlin.
“Great, at your young age you already have high ability, Yueyue.” Shi Surao praised Xue Bingyue and did not make the little girl show a delighted expression at the praise.
“I was taught by someone. She's so amazing, I'm nothing compared to her.” Xue Bingyue actually flattered Jing Yang to the highest.
Shi Surao looked at Xue Bingyue not caring too much about her praise so he switched his talk.
“Yueyue, what are you..” Shi Surao had heard that his older brother Shi Mubai had once carried out a murder plot on Jiang Lian in Yunfei City.
Shi Surao had heard of a female warrior surnamed Xue who had fallen victim to a great battle that night.
Xue Bingyue's expression explained everything. More or less his elder brother's actions had made Xue Bingyue lose her parents. Although it was not Shi Surao's fault, Shi Surao felt a feeling of guilt begin to envelop him.
Xue Bingyue let out a long sigh and smiled, “Surao's brother need not feel guilty. At that time we didn't know it and my parents' killer, he was Mao Gang. So you don't have to feel guilty, Brother Surao.”
Shi Surao replied to Xue Bingyue's awkward smile, “I'm sorry, Yueyue and thank you.”
“Kakak Surao himself must have been heavy through all that alone.” Xue Bingyue clasped Shi Surao's hand tightly making the beautiful seventeen-year-old girl teary-eyed.
“Yueyue..” Shi Surao hugging Xue Bingyue's body made the little girl reprimand as her embrace made their flight irregular and unidirectional.
Bai Xianlin who was at the front turned her head back and said, “Yueyue, Raorao, why are you guys still hugging? Hurry up if you don't want to be left behind!”
“I understand Aunt Xianlin! I'll catch up with you soon!” Xue Bingyue started focusing her attention on controlling the Suxue Snow Sword before flying at high speed chasing after Bai Xianlin.
Shi Surao let go of his embrace and smiled warmly, “Thank you, Yueyue. I am grateful to meet you.”
Xue Bingyue simply returned Shi Surao's smile without saying a word.
