THE GOD OF THE NIGHT
Chapter 14: "a meeting with four friends, a lake of illusion and truth"

"Then, I ask you to take care of Shi Wan for a while I want to find some food. If you're hungry you come down and eat anything, because we'll be on our way when it's early morning..."

Song Ruyi immediately smiled and replied "good sir..." .

After saying that, Song Ruyi walked into Shi yu's room to look after Shi wan. While Shi Yu went downstairs to order food, but after he thought.

It is better to take food to the room, but since Shi Wan Shi Yu does things differently.

Once there Shi Yu sat down, and was approached by an old lady's servant.

The old woman asked, "what do you want to order?"

Shi Yu looked left and right, to see if anyone was in the dining room.

Before long a similar voice said "there's only a few people, so it's okay to take off your face covering, young man..."

Shi Yu was surprised but he hid his reaction very well so as not to look surprised.

Then opening her face cover, Shi Yu said

"Can I request her menu ...nek.." reply Shi yu.

The old woman gave the menu to Shi Yu shortly afterwards, Shi Yu also looked at the menu that read about ferocious beasts.

Shi Yu finally ordered "grandmother.I want the flesh of a savage beast to be burned by one serving"

The old lady's maid immediately smiled amiably, and said "master's order will be ready soon" and rushed away from shi yu.

A few minutes later, the flesh of the burnt beast was on Shi Yu's dinner table, and Shi Yu began to eat his food very greedily.

A few minutes later, about four people came to Shi Yu's desk, one female and three male who were the same age as shi yu.

One of them spoke to Shi Yu "hey, you.what's your name?" Said a black haired woman with distinctive eye colors like ruby green.

Shi Yu who was also lazy to answer decided to ignore the question, but the woman continued "hey, you.if someone is asking at least you answer if you do not want to tell your name..." Shake the woman.

Shi Yu finally just said his name was "Shi yu".

Those who heard that were immediately speechless and immediately sat down at Shi yu's dining table. Shi Yu also asked the four of them "why are you sitting here? Isn't there somewhere else..and who are you? " In a cold tone.

One man said "quiet, don't be cold like that..." With smile.

"There's nothing for me to guess your names." Shi Yu said lazily.

"You really pulled yah....guess what, I'll give you ten minutes...how?" Connect the same man.

Shi Yu who felt challenged smiled and said "it doesn't take ten minutes, one minute is enough for me to find your information...".

The four of them were confused by what Shi yu said, turning to Shi yu.

Shi Yu sent the system to find out the identities of the four people sitting around him

Element : Plants ]

Shi Yu who saw the latter's male identity was shocked Shi yu did not expect there to be another imperial emperor near him.

Shi Yu smiled again.

The four people who saw it immediately asked "how is the time of one minute up...?" Ask the male who first challenged Shi Yu to guess their name.

Shi Yu immediately replied "alright..Yans Ilyani isn't he? And you're..Then you two are Shimre Rainer and Rarta.maybe..."

While pointing at Yans, niy, Shimre and staring at Rarta because it is impossible to appoint an emperor.

Rarta who had just heard the word 'maybe' at the end of the sentence became alert.

The four people were still silent with their mouths still open, Shi Yu smiled then used his face cloth and stood up and walked away and left the four people. Before long Rarta also followed Shi yu from behind.

Arriving at Shi Yu in front of his room, Rarta arrived using a chopstick around Shi yu's neck, and said "you should be quiet. And you better tell me who you really are?" Ask Rarta.

Shi Yu chuckled and replied, "I told you my name is Shi yu, and again can you get these chopsticks down first?"

Rarta even approached the chopsticks towards Shi yu's neck closer, until Shi yu's neck was pierced slightly out a drop of blood.

"Aww..." Shi yu.

Then Shi Yu resumed connecting "can you keep these chopsticks away? I'll answer honestly if you ask me without threatening my life..."

Rarta who heard that slightly distanced the chopsticks slowly from Shi yu's neck, then she pushed Shi yu forward.

Then say "say?"

"Well..well.I don't think you'd want to stab me in the neck with a chopstick, no knife what?.My name is Shi Yu, and you'd like to ask. I know you're the emperor of the Barta empire, but I won't tell you where I know, and I won't tell anyone..." Shi Yu replied as he held his injured neck, Shi yu also spoke to the system 'System Please heal my neck?'

[ Ding's... Well sir ]

In an instant the grains of light shone from Shi yu's neck, and Shi yu's neck re-closed on its own.

Rarta who saw that was surprised instead of playing, she thought 'who exactly is this person? What's his background? I couldn't even see his cultivation level.and just now I saw his injured neck covered by itself, not that it could only be done by the Emperor Stage... this guy ... horrible'

Rarta again asked "you...What's your background?"

"I?.I am only a father..who wanders the cultivation world..." Replied shi yu who looked relaxed.

"Dad? I can't believe you who seems the same age as me could have a child...." Rarta denied all of Shi Yu's answers.

Shi Yu looked back at Rarta with a strange but serious look and asked "it would be wrong if there was a 19-year-old father...?"

"No really...But that's pretty much impossible.I think..maybe..." Replied Rarta was stammered thinking if there was such a thing.

Song Ruyi came out of Shi yu's room holding a crying Shi wan, Shi Yu and Rarta were surprised.

Shi Yu asked Ruyi's song "Ruyi, what's wrong with shi wan?"

Song Ruyi replied, "it seems like Miss Shi wan heard the voice of the great master rushing near the room and woke up...".

Shi Yu who saw that immediately took Shi wan from the sling of Ruyi Dan's song began to hold Shi wan by calming Shi wan, Rarta who saw this scene immediately fell silent and asked in her heart 'is it true that he already has a child...? And the child is so beautiful even though he is a child.and the appearance also suits the little boy...'

A few minutes later Shi Wan was silent again, Song Ruyi asked Shi yu "sir, who is this master?" While looking at Rarta.

Shi Yu replied, "he is. my friend.not so, Rarta..."

'since when I became your friend..!!!' the voice of Rarta.

Song Ruyi immediately replied "my name is song Ruyi, you can call me Ruyi if you want.I am your personal bodyguard and brother.."

Rarta also connected "your clan is song..Do you come from the song family from the eastern continent or the northern continent?"

"I come from the song family from the northern continent, but now I have nothing to do with the song family, because I have followed the master...." Reply Song Ruyi explained.

Rarta looked back at Shi Yu, and said "it turns out you really are a father.yah.I turned out to be wrong.with you..."

Shi Yu who heard him being summoned by Rarta as 'friend yu' was a little unexpected. Rarta also connected "can I call you friend yu .."

"Yes, I also have no problem being called that way by you..." Reply Shi yu with a smile.

Shi Yu, Song Ruyi and Rarta went back down while chatting about their destination.

Then Shi Yu said that they would attend the tournament in the southern continent, of course, it turned out that they all also wanted to join the tournament.

The six of them decided to leave together when it was morning.

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

The next day the six of them gathered in front of the inn, arriving at Shi yu and song Ruyi and Shi wan who were carried by Shi yu.

An niy who saw Shi Wan immediately spoke "wah, it's so beautiful.."

Shi Yu replied, "right, a beautiful woman like her mother.and similar to her father as well".

An niy immediately felt strange and asked "she does not look like you.what a silver-haired mother like Shi Wan.."

Shi Yu who heard that was immediately silent, he immediately turned to face Rarta who also noticed Shi yu's movements.

Rarta who saw Shi yu could not say a word, Directly took over the conversation and spoke "we should immediately travel...".

Shi Yu climbed onto his white horse, Song Ruyi also climbed onto his horse. They each had their own horses, while on the way there were some funny and happy things when together with the people around Shi yu.

The journey continues until, when Shi Yu and the others arrive at a visible border where snow does not fall again because it has changed the climate.

Yans spoke with a smiling face "preoccupiedly...I was finally able to leave such a cold territory..." And suddenly Yans sneezed due to cold and suddenly changed completely and became warm.

An niy also connected "oi...Yans, I'm still confused as to why you reached the northern continent, the domain of the Icen empire...?"

"Ah, on that matter.I said to my father to give me a holiday in a different place.and I ended up being sent here for a vacation,but I heard from the people in the Icen empire about the tournament.which is there for the recruitment of new disciples, I also want to enter times" Yans replied as he scratched his non-itchy head with a smile.

While chatting arrived, Shi Yu received a notification from the system

[Ding.master system feels danger approaching ].

'danger...you mean what system?' ask Shi Yu in thought.

[Dinging... The system meant that there were about 20 people approaching towards the master. With one of them having the god apertak of destruction, and according to the system it is his leader ]

'shit..why can there be twenty people.' umpat Shi yu in heart, out of concern for shi wan.

Yans, Ruyi, An niy, as well as Shimre had yet to sense any danger. But in contrast to Rarta whose cultivation level was above Shi yu.

Shi Yu suddenly spoke to Rarta using 'mind communication'.

'rarta..did you hear me?' shi Yu asked through thought.

Rarta was shocked but immediately turned her face into a serious one and nodded because flat could not use the mind communication that only the Emperor Stage could.

'well, listen, I sense there are twenty people coming, and one of them has the god of destruction...'

"What..?" Rarta said unintentionally.

Yans, Ruyi, An niy, and Shimre immediately glanced at Rarta.

Shimre asked Rarta "what's the matter?"

"That, we better find a safe place to talk about this..." Replied Rarta who did not answer the shimre's question and instead said a word to Shi yu.

Shi Yu immediately connected "well, I'll explain..."

'system...how far are they with us?' shi Yu asked the system.

[Dinging... The distance of the lord with 20 people was about 50 km... The system advises the master to immediately hide in a safe place ]

'right, but where?'

[Dinging... The system will show the route to a cave not far from the master but ]

'but what is the system? Don't be like this in a precarious situation..'

[ Ding's... The cave had such a strong Qi that it caused a lake in the cave to become a cave within the lake. ]

'if so quickly show...'

[ Ding's... Then please follow the blue arrows ]

Suddenly a blue arrow appeared in front of shi yu's eyes.

Shi Yu immediately spoke "friend of friends, we better hide in a cave..."

Rarta "gua, I didn't know there was a cave in the border area..."

"Follow me. hurry..." Shi Yu also made his white horse speed up and was followed by the others, who did not understand what was wrong with the two people.

***********

Elsewhere, there were twenty people who were walking towards the same direction as the previous shi yu.

The nineteen people were led by, one person who looked so strong.

The leader spoke "HEY, KALIAN....I FELT... SOME PEOPLE IN THIS AREA. QUICKLY SPREAD OUT AND SEARCH FOR THEM...."

"BOTH PADUKA.." said all of his subordinates.

In another place more precisely in a cave, in the middle of it there is a lake that is so beautiful with a variety of rare herbal plants.

An niy also spoke "now that we're in the cave, then tell me what do you two mean?"

Rarta replied "actually me and friend Yu felt some people approaching and like her they were strong..."

"WHAT?" everyone in the cave was shocked except Shi yu, Rarta and song Ruyi.

Sui Yu who saw the song Ruyi was not surprised to ask "Ruyi aren't you surprised? Do you know anything?"

"Ah, that's why I don't know too much either...it's just that I've heard a few things by listening silently silence from my brother who was talking to his mother about various attacks.

One of the apertak that Rarta called was also included in his conversation.they said the god of destruction was full of various hatreds, but the reason the owner could actually use it was because the god of destruction had a reason and he could control the various resentments in the attack.....the more dangerous the attack, the god of destruction, sealed it in an ancient ruin,there the god of destruction left a message if he continued to use his afertak pay than you do is to exchange the age of its users or sacrifice various lives..one more god of destruction decided to seal it because he did not want his loved ones to be hurt because of the hatred that existed in his repercussions.

No one should know the whereabouts of the affidavit..." Song Ruyi replied seriously.

Rarta who heard that was splicing "right, no one should have known. Afertak was only known by the emperor's own successors and emperors.but why the item could have reached the hands of people....".

Shi Yu who heard that continued to pay attention and suddenly the system spoke to Shi yu.

[Ding.. mister should immediately enter the lake, because the system feels the person is getting closer to the master... ]

'what?'

"All of you we have to get into that lake, quickly I feel they're near here..." Shi yu.

An niy said, "are you crazy? It's a lake if we dive of course we can but what about your daughter Shi yu stupid..."

"Ah, really too"

'system how is this..?'

[Dinging... Sir need not worry. This lake is called the lake of illusion and truth ]

'lake of illusion and truth?'

[ Ding's... True sir, this lake can create illusions for dangerous people who have killing intent. And reveal the truth to those who seek refuge.].

'it turns out there is such a lake..but what if Shi Wan can't hold his breath?'

[ Ding's... You need not worry about it, according to what I said. If the master and friend of the master dive as well as miss Shi wan.it will not be a problem because the lake is like the air that the master now breathes, so Miss Shi wan can breathe...as per the name of the lake it's 'lake of illusion and truth'. When diving like a dream, while when people see they will believe that it is real . ]

'so it's like that. all right...'

"Friends of friends let's dive.you don't have to worry...." Shi Yu said and jumped into the lake.

Song Ruyi who saw Shi Yu jump also jumped, and finally the four of them also jumped into the lake.

While inside the lake Shi Yu did not feel asphyxiated, Yans also spoke to shimre "shimre I do not feel claustrophobic..eh.....I can speak in water...!!!!"

Shimre who saw it tried to get on the surface for a while and he felt the clothes he was wearing were not wet at all, like they were dry for the first time.

Shimre went back to diving into the lake and there he said to Shi yu "yu. Our clothes are not wet at all..."

Shi Yu smiled and said, "I told you, follow me..."

Shimre who heard that immediately asked in his heart 'shi yu.....who exactly are you???'

Shi Yu also showed that a cave there was already coated with a lot of Qi to hold the lake water and make the place dry without water.

Shi Yu and the others decided to rest here.
