THE GOD OF THE NIGHT
Chapter 12:"the lotus pavilion and the mysterious old man"

In the morning Shi Yu was still sitting cross-legged all night to cultivate.

Shi Yu got up and got out of his bed and went to clean himself, after which Shi Yu came down and saw that song Ruyi was sitting down and eating her food.

Shi Yu also approached Ruyi's song and asked "Ruyi, today I will go to the lotus pavilion..would you like to come with me ?"

Song Ruyi immediately replied in spirit "of course master, I was once so curious about the lotus pavilion..."

"Good, then you finish your meal first and we will go there" Shi Yu said as he called the waiter to order his meal.

After Shi Yu and song Ruyi finished their meal, they immediately went out and went to the lotus pavilion.

Arriving at them In front of the lotus pavilion, they became the center of attention because of Shi yu who was using the covering cloth on his face.

However, the two of them did not care about it and went inside . Then Shi Yu told one of the maids to call the manager here, after a few minutes came a beautiful woman with long red hair, and light green blue eyes.

The woman approached Shi Yu and asked "do you want to meet me?"

Shi Yu replied "yes, I want to book a VIP room for the auction today..."

"So, like that... Then for the VIP room you have to pay about 20 gold coins...would you still order the room?" Ask the girl.

"Yes, here..." Throw 3 platinum coins at the woman.

The woman was surprised and said "it's too much...."

Shi Yu also connected "don't take it, such coins aren't too much for me..."

The woman was even more shocked, as Shi Yu said that the platinum coins that even the imperial family was unable to take out, there were so many for her and wasted them.

The woman began to introduce her name to Shi Yu and song Ruyi "introduce my name...In Li, I am the manager of the lotus pavilion branch in the Icen empire.. May I know the names of the two masters?"

Shi Yu said "the one next to me, is named song Ruyi while I am yu shi..." Said Shi Yu lying about his name.

The woman said in her heart 'it looks like she wants to hide her identity .... What an interesting thing during my Disni'.

Then continue to talk "let's take you to the VIP room that has been prepared for both masters..."

Shi Yu and Song Ruyi were escorted by the woman to the VIP room reserved for them.

As time passed the auction began, Shi Yu saw so many nobles present to attend the auction.

Shi Yu was so uninterested in the goods being presented at the auction, suddenly the system spoke to Shi yu

[Dinging... You should buy the bracelet, because System found that the bracelet has a strong water element ]

'alright...'

"70 gold coins" bargained one of the nobles.

Shi Yu offered a higher price of "80 gold coins"

The nobleman added a price to his offer of "85 gold coins"

Shi yu continued to offer higher prices as he wanted to quickly finish and leave from the lotus pavilion "100 gold coins"

The nobleman became emotional to Shi yu and spoke to Shi yu "hey, brat you better hand me the bracelet...."

The people who were at the auction were talking about Shi Yu who had disturbed the lion, Shi yu laughed a little and said "hey, old man I don't care even if you are from a nalan family..to me. the nalan family is an insect that only needs to be cut down easily"

"You dare insult my nalan family..." Said the old man from the nalan family.

Shi Yu continued to say "yes, I dare. considering that one of your family members made a mistake with me. So this is a warning of what he did....".

The old man had no idea who Shi Yu meant and asked Shi yu "what do you mean, brat? Who did you wrong?"

Shi Yu replied, "don't you already know that in your family members who offend people the most are your own daughter, Kalan Kana....".

Then old man Nalan who heard it became furious with the behavior of his daughter who so offended many people,but as the head of the nalan family who was famous in the Icen empire as the upper-class family, the old nalan still maintained the price to be able to have the bracelet, then spoke "hey, he said,you talk as if you want my family to be ashamed, but unfortunately I won't be affected. Oh.. I'll keep the same price for the bracelet.you'll have to let it go if you don't bear the consequences"

Shi Yu laughed and replied "here is an auction, whoever has a lot of money wins.If you old man does not have money you should give up,don't bring nalan's surname to this auction because it doesn't work for me...."

"You..." Said old man nalan who was so upset.

Suddenly a voice said to the old man "Nalan jou, this is the auction place so don't make a fuss here. And if you want to fight over the bracelet, do it outside the auction environment, because everyone at the auction is equal. So please take care of your behavior" said In Li, who owns the lotus pavilion branch.

Even Nalan jou who heard himself being reprimanded by the owner of the lotus pavilion branch immediately replied "good-sorry for my actions that were too disrespectful"

Then speak in your heart 'just watch out you boy.I'll be waiting for you outside'.

Shi Yu, who saw the unmoved nalan jou in front of In Li, had the system investigate In Li's cultivation level, and a blue hologram appeared in front of Shi Yu.

[ Ding's...

Name: In Li

Age. :17 years

Race. : Human

Cultivation level: 4-star, swordsman stage

perfect level 5.

Information: In Li is the third of three children of the main lotus pavilion owner. He hid his identity as the son of the owner of the entire lotus pavilion in order to be free and go out as he pleased, the real reason was that he ran away from his engagement which was an eastern imperial family. ]

'so it is like that.hah.he has quite good talent.' Shi yu said inwardly with a smile.

Then after some time the auction was over, Shi Yu and song Ruyi wanted to quickly go out of the auction but were stopped by In Li.

In Li said "mister yu shi and song lord Ruyi"

Shi Yu also spliced "it's up to them I don't care if they're not my opponents..."

In Li who heard that laughed so big and spoke "the noble family is the big family in this Icen empire, you should not feel too great yourself. "

Song Ruyi who saw her master as despicable immediately launched her attack on In Li but, unfortunately, In Li held her easily.

In Li said "oh. 3-star, early General stage 7, true great bodyguard...."

Song Ruyi whose attack was being held back was shocked because her opponent this time was stronger than her.

Shi Yu smiled then said "can Miss In Li let go of my brother. Otherwise, this might be complicated"

In Li who heard that became confused because Shi Yu was not afraid when he saw that it was easy to stop the attack of song Ruyi, In Li immediately smiled "if not really why ?"

Shi Yu immediately spoke in a threatening tone "well, I will not remain silent...the third son of the true owner of the lotus pavilion turned out to be this kind of person and wasn't running away from the engagement completely pointless "

In Li who was smiling now looked extremely shocked and annoyed in an instant he asked Shi yu firmly "mister yu shi how do you know about my personal information...."

"It was very easy for me to look for such information" Shi Yu told a lie.

In Li immediately attacked Shi Yu quickly but unfortunately Shi Yu instead held him easily even if only using physical energy.

In Li was surprised and asked, 'how can he withstand my attack with just physical exertion? Isn't that impossible.me who is in the 4 star early swordsman stage: Level 5? Does he have a higher cultivation level?'

Shi Yu immediately spoke "can you address this useless assailant Miss In Li?"

In Li immediately released his hand which was done to attack and immediately said "sorry I don't know that mister yu shi..."

Shi Yu chuckled and said, "it's a boy under my age....Rui,ayo..." Said Shi yu as he walked away from the lotus pavilion along with song Ruyi.

In Li Yang was left alone, his face immediately blushed and muttered to himself "why did his words not upset me....? And why do I feel like I like it..."

************

While outside the song Ruyi has finished off all the men from nalan jou.

Shi Yu told song Ruyi to let go of one person so that nalan jou could hear the news that his man, had already been wiped out.

Song Ruyi asked Shi yu "master..why did you not attack...?"

Shi Yu replied "ehmm.that's because I want you to have fighting experience.that's it" Shi Yu said lying when he was forbidden to use internal energy for a full day.

Song Ruyi also simply believed, with what Shi yu said.

Shi Yu and Song Ruyi immediately went to the inn, but on the way Shi Yu saw a large building and asked Ruyi's song "Ruyi..Do you know what this building is?"

Shi Yu who heard that replied "Ruyi.you just go to the inn by yourself I want to spend the night here while reading some books in the library..."

Before song Ruyi connected Shi Yu had already gone into the library.

As Shi yu entered Shi yu was stopped and asked by one of the library guards "excuse me sir.Can you open the face-covering cloth? because here it is forbidden to use things like covering your identity..."

Shi Yu who heard that resigned because he was eager to read some books inside,Shi Yu opened the covering cloth on his face and the guard who was talking to shi yu was instantly silent like a statue upon seeing Shi yu's handsome face.

Shi Yu paid no heed to the guard who was silent like a statue and went straight inside, as he entered Shi Yu was shocked by the myriad of books.

Shi Yu immediately looked for the book he wanted to read, but he did not find the book he wanted to read. Finally Shi Yu asked the library manager who was an old grandfather "excuse me..."

The old grandfather immediately replied and looked towards Shi yu "yes, there's a young man..."

Shi Yu also connected "this is how I look for a book about the Icen empire or a book about the founding of the Icen empire like that...?"

The old man smiled and said "like you're new.Let me deliver..." While walking with Shi Yu.

Then the old man connected "young man.there are two people who are like you....well you could say very interested in such a thing..."

Shi Yu replied by asking, "can grandfather tell me..."

The old man chuckled and replied "you don't have to call me grandpa, enough

Call me You Ru. I only know one person who is a beautiful woman who often comes to read such a book...hah I don't know why he could have died with such untrue rumors..out there.if not mistakenly remember that woman's name is Shi Youn.ya, Shi Youn...once she came with the condition she was pregnant a few months ago next week she did not come again, a few years passed until there was news that he had been executed for reasons that could not be told to us.and people began to assume that the woman was a traitor..."

Shi Yu who heard that was surprised that grandfather you ru knew his mother, he also heard the story told by grandfather you ru with an emotional heart and was also angry however, he also heard a story told by his grandfather you ru,he was arrested because he did not want his identity revealed.

Shi Yu asked "does your grandfather believe that the woman is a traitor ?"

You ru also replied with a warm smile "I can't believe it..because how can someone who always boasts of the Icen empire and always prays for the emperor of this empire to live long and get blessings is a traitor.

After all I had talked to the woman, the woman said 'if my son is born I want him to be like me and have a strict nature like the emperor in order to help the emperor in every way..' hah that woman, really very strong and extraordinary...."

Shi Yu who heard that became sad, and was moved by what his mother did.

You ru finally stopped in a room that was so big, you ru also said "we have arrived, in this room the book you want is here.and the man , like he's coming again..." While looking at the young old man no longer, but looking handsome and wise with black hair and blue eye color like the sky was sitting reading a book in the room itself.

Shi Yu, who was also staring at the man, looked back at old man you ru and said "thank you grandfather you ru"

"The same with young people...." Then left Shi Yu and the other old man.

Shi Yu went to pick up the book on the bookshelf and read its title in a small voice "'the struggle of emperor Xin Yuan ' " then took another book that was seen beside the book Shi Yu had taken and again read the title of the book " 'sword of ice and blue fire ' this book looks weird but it looks like it's gonna be fun..."

Then he walked back and sat down in front of the old man.

Shi Yu began reading a book about 'ice swords and blue flames', telling him that there was a sword with two elements in it.

The two elements came together and became one of the slaughter swords.

As Shi Yu read the book, the old man in front of Shi yu asked Shi yu "do you like reading the book?"

Shi Yu was immediately surprised and replied "ah.I just read it Now.so I can't say that I like this book"

The old man did not smile and was still with a cold facial expression "oh..."

Shi Yu who heard that also spoke inwardly 'he simply replied with oh...'

Suddenly the old man connected "the book tells of a young boy who was not considered by his father, because he was weak and had a disease. The boy only realized that he had three types of elements and two of them were ice and fire, but the fire element he had was not an indiscriminate fire that was blue fire..stronger than any other fire. The boy, who was so weak from illness, decided to make a sword to protect himself: an ice sword and blue fire... swinging once can make the ice around it, and the ice is not cold but hot like blue fire, to make people trapped in the ice like burning"

Shi Yu who heard the story immediately fell silent and immediately spoke "well, you can memorize this whole story"

The praised old man remained cold-faced and said "it's normal..." And stood up and walked out of the room.

Shi Yu immediately muttered "a strange old man..." And back to reading the book.

************

The next day Shi Yu received a notification from the system

[ Ding's...

Mission level C. That is :

You must not use the power within for 1 full day starting from tomorrow sir.

It has been resolved ]

'finally it's over too 'I can fight whenever I want...'

Although the day passed Shi Yu still left, to the library. Arriving there he saw the old man again, this time Shi Yu wanted to greet the old man.

"Morning...."

The old man only looked at me for a moment, then went back to reading his book. The necessary shi yu as it was, became annoyed.

A few hours later the old man was about to leave the library. Arriving outside the library Shi yu held the old man down "awhile....".

The old priest turned his head towards Shi yu, and shi yu continued to speak "this way.we both don't know each other, so I'll introduce myself. My name is Shi yu, you?" Shi Yu asked the old man.

The old man this time did not ignore Shi yu and replied "Yuan Xin ..."

Shi Yu who heard the old man reply, immediately smiled and asked "is it, uncle Yuan Xin fighting with me?"

Yuan Xin replied "no..."

Shi Yu was shocked by what Yuan Xin said, then said "come on uncle. What was the reason uncle refused to fight with me?" Shi Yu asked Yuan Xin.

Yuan Xin asked Shi Yu "what was the reason that you wanted to fight me...?"

Shi Yu replied "well, it's because uncle looks strong".

Yuan Xin was still with a cold face and connected "that means the same as me. That's because you look weak...".

Shi Yu who heard that became even more annoyed and told the system to investigate Yuan xin's cultivation level. However, the results obtained are

[ Ding's... The system could not investigate the cultivation level of the old man, named Yuan Xin in front of the master ]

'what? How can!!!! What information about uncle Yuan Xin could not be seen either ?' ask the system.

[ Ding's... The system also did not know the cause, the information from this man named Yuan Xin could not be seen and investigated at all.].

'so what cultivation level is higher than me...? It is only fitting that Uncle Yuan Xin said that I am weak, ' I said in my heart.

Suddenly Yuan Xin's voice broke Shi yu's daydream about Yuan xin's cultivation level "hey, little boy..what do you think boy..?" Ask her.

Shi Yu quickly replied "nothing..."

Since Yuan Xin who saw Shi Yu looked unusual, she immediately said "happy birthday..."

Shi Yu was startled and asked "uh, Yuan Xin's uncle knows where it is today?"

"Let's know.my gift to you.."While pointing to a white horse tied up in a tree.

As Shi Yu turned around the old man was no longer around, leaving only a writing in the snow that said

'i won't be coming in the next few years.so today I'm preparing a white horse for you. As a parting gift and a birthday present, if you've become stronger come this empire...I'm waiting to fight with you'
