The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 31: Cunfei City
Jing Yang sat down near the coachman. On the way he learns the identities of the three people who want to reward him.
The three are none other than the family of the Mayor of Cunfei City. The middle-aged man with a friendly smile who invited Jing Yang was named Lu Hen. His wife Lu Xiulan and ten-year-old daughter Lu Xiuyu.
The carriage carried Jing Yang and Lu Hen Family towards Cunfei City. On the way, Jing Yang did not get into any meaningful trouble. You could say the Lightning Rat was the final obstacle towards Cunfei City.
While on the way, Lu Hen occasionally told him about the frequent problems in the various cities that existed in the Jiang Empire. For the past two years, the Beast always attacked the farm owned by the population. Small villages have always been the target, already countless number of victims.
The mastermind of the attack was the Beast Party. A gathering that only had five members had strength equivalent to a middle sect because the five people were able to control the Beast. The Lightning Rat is an example.
Jing Yang recalled a glimpse of the red mark on the Lightning Rat's neck, while listening to Lu Hen's explanation to him. Jing Yang glanced at the Black Spirit flying in the air.
According to the Spirit of the Black One there is a Heavenly Heirloom capable of controlling the Beast. The weapon has fallen into the hands of the wrong person, so it is undeniable that this problem in the future will be very serious.
Jing Yang briefly asked Lu Hen, should the matter of the Beast Beasts be overcome by warriors from small to medium sects. Yet Jing Yang got a surprising answer.
Lu Hen and the few scattered mayors in the Jiang Empire had already hired warriors from small to medium-sized sects, but most of them were killed in the mission.
Lu Hen actually wanted to hire a swordsman from a big sect. But there was only one of the three largest white-flow sects in the Jiang Empire willing to cooperate. One of them and who received a job from the mayor has declined to success, while the other two over the past four years rose rapidly in development.
Jing Yang immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard Lu Hen say. There was curiosity about the two sect names, so Jing Yang asked back to Lu Hen.
The two names of the big sects of the white stream that over the past four years had grown rapidly were the Single Sword Mountain and the Fire Dragon Palace. Upon hearing these two sect names, Jing Yang wanted to investigate them first.
Of the two names, no one accepted jobs from nobles. The two sects were very confident in their abilities. One scattered sect of white flow called the Peach Flower Palace was the only one among the three largest white flow sects that was willing to accept and help the population.
Jing Yang understood the outline. From here he began to connect little by little the people involved in the Moon Snow Island coup.
After a long journey. Finally Jing Yang and the Lu Hen Family entourage arrived at their destination. The city with the gate guarded by the city guards looked crowded and peaceful.
The big gate was inscribed with the name of the city itself. Cunfei City is a small town that connects Xufei City and Shendong City. So in Cunfei City many traders and people who want to stay before continuing the journey to Xufei City or vice versa, to Shendong City.
Jing Yang himself took the breakthrough route by passing through mountains and hills. The route he passed was the route to Shendong City the fastest from Xuedong City.
The map given by Shen Mi was a map made by the Shen Family. Currently Jing Yang wanted to spend the night first in Cunfei City before continuing on to Shendong City the next day.
“Let's go in, Young Master.” Lu Hen kindly told Jing Yang to go inside his house. The residence of the Mayor of Cunfei City is quite large with a spacious courtyard. Jing Yang stared for a moment before getting off the horse carriage.
“Call me Jing Yang alone Uncle Hen.” Jing Yang bowed and smiled amiably.
“Good. Come in, Young Swordsman..” Jing Yang did not argue anymore and followed Lu Hen's invitation.
Lu Hen's wife walked in first and told the waiter to prepare a banquet. Lu Xiulan looked so resolute, while her ten-year-old son Lu Xiuyu looked so shy.
Jing Yang was a little hesitant as he was greeted with great fanfare. Her black hood she took off before entering the mansion.
“Xiuxiu, let's greet the Who. Don't just shut up..” Lu Xiulan held onto Li Xiuyu's shoulder and shook it slowly.
Lu Xiuyu looked at Jing Yang timidly. It took Lu Xiuyu a long time to look at Jing Yang's straight face.
While Lu Hen shook his head and laughed quite loudly. Only Jing Yang and Lu Xiuyu who were confused should behave like what.
The real Jing Yang did not want to respond too much to Lu Xiuyu's words, but looking at Lu Xiuyu's timid-looking face, made Jing Yang become confused.
“Mother!” Lu Xiuyu gently struck Lu Xiulan's stomach after seeing Jing Yang not respond to her words.
Lu Hen immediately took Jing Yang inside his house and escorted him into a room that was quite large in size.
Jing Yang could see the bed in the room was of high quality. Lu Hen chatted with Jing Yang for a long time until the dinner was ready to eat.
Before eating. Jing Yang took a bath first, as he did not want to eat food with body odor and sweat stuck to his body.
The dinner held by Lu Hen was overrated. Yet to Jing Yang this was the food she had wanted to taste all along. Green vegetables and very well cooked meat. The taste and smell are very tempting. A savory taste coalesced in his mouth, crispness and gentleness made Jing Yang enjoy the banquet tonight.
Greedily Jing Yang ate it. While eating the dish voraciously, Jing Yang looked at the corn soup that looked different from the other foods in the banquet.
Jing Yang looked at Lu Hen and Lu Xiulan. But there was no reaction from the couple. When Jing Yang looked at Lu Xiuyu's face, it implied a hopeful face. Jing Yang was a little curious so he ate the corn soup.
The warm corn soup had a taste that was too salty. But for Jing Yang this was better than the Devil Beast meat he had eaten every day for the past five years.
“How does it feel? What's delicious, Yang Gege?” Lu Xiulan choked on seeing her son's personality change. Even Lu Hen also rounded his eyes because only this time did he see his son cooking for someone. Moreover, that someone was Jing Yang, the young man he had just met on the way.
“Enak. This corn soup tastes so warm in my mouth. I really like it. I haven't had a warm soup like this in a long time.” Jing Yang replied innocently. Hearing that of course Lu Xiulan held back her laughter.
Lu Xiuyu's face looked so elated. Her cheeks were red and looked at Jing Yang shyly.
“Son of man, you made that child wrong.” The Black Spirit said loudly to Jing Yang.
Finish dinner together. Jing Yang returned to his room, he was followed by Lu Xiuyu from behind.
In the room. Jing Yang listened to Lu Xiuyu tell him about the Beast he had seen in the book.
Jing Yang became a good listener because he did not want to offend Lu Xiuyu if he had lived with the Beast and Demon Beast since he was seven years old.
“Yang gege, are you leaving here tomorrow?” Finish storytelling. Lu Xiuyu asked with a curious looking face. It was as if the little girl did not want Jing Yang to leave Cunfei City.
“I'll go to Shendong City. Maybe we won't meet when I leave Cunfei City in my old time. There's something I have to do. No, I have to do it.” Jing Yang fused his palms together and turned his face into a serious look.
Jing Yang told about the person he was looking for to Lu Xiuyu. Hearing Jing Yang's story was certainly the little girl's heartbroken. Lu Xiuyu did not understand that feeling too much, yet he could see Jing Yang was a free person. There was no way he could grasp it and hold it in his own embrace, because Jing Yang was a free youth.
“Yang gege, hope you can find Xue Bingyue and Granny Xue Qinghua. I will wish you and them both the best.” Lu Xiuyu smiled gently at Jing Yang, as he stood up and exited Jing Yang's room slowly.
Jing Yang returned Lu Xiuyu's smile. Then he laid his body down after Lu Xiuyu closed the door.
Tonight Jing Yang fell asleep. The Black Spirit observing Jing Yang shook his head.
“This human child! It turned out that he had great alluring power. I have to be careful with his effective attitude!”
