The Rise of the Dragon Warrior
The Journey Home
After traveling for one week without stopping, Jin Song now asked them to rest.
Naturally Jin Song and Lin Kun also felt tired, as their manpower had already been drained.
Especially for Shen Long, his condition was much more severe making Yan Rou Lie feel uneasy.
" We can't continue the journey. We better get some rest here!" Said Jin Song while gesturing to Lin Kun.
With a small nod, Lin Kun knew the cue was instantly searching for firewood.
While Jin Song is also looking for hunted animals as a booster of their stomachs.
On the other hand Shen Long had already laid his body on the field, as his energy had been drained.
Jin Song and Lin Kun could not force things. Although they were worried about the state of the Thousand Sword Sect, but if it was too pushy, then it was not impossible that something bad would happen to them.
" Long'gege, I'm sorry." Yan Rou Lie felt uneasy as he looked at the young man.
" No problem Lie'er." Shen Long replied with a hunting breath.
Seeing that incident Yan Rou Lie was intending to want to train even harder, as he did not want to become a burden for Shen Long later on.
" Lie'er, when we were in the Sacred Pagoda Academy, did you get a letter of recommendation?" Shen Long asked as he adjusted his breath.
" It just so happened that in my group no one was too strong, so I got the first champion. I got a letter of recommendation." Replied Yan Rou Lie who looked pleased.
" Mm-hm... One more year we will leave for the Sacred Pagoda Academy. I hope we don't get in trouble there." Said Shen Long who was now standing up, then leaned his body on a tree.
" Yes... It seems that only the two of us are willing to become disciples of the Sacred Pagoda Academy. No one wants to." Said Yan Rou Lie who was also walking closer to Shen Long.
" Babh... How terrifying was the Sacred Pagoda Academy?" Shen Long grew increasingly curious about the situation in the Sacred Pagoda Academy.
" If it's with Long'gege, we'll pass it together." Said Yan Rou Lie who felt confident that if he was with Shen Long, then he would be able to pass through all obstacles.
Not long after, Jin Song and Lin Kun had returned to the place, where they immediately made a bonfire and burned their game animals.
After their quarry was cooked, Jin Song gave the rabbit roast to Shen Long and Yan Rou Lie.
" Older, Teacher... Looks like we're taking another path. Are we not passing through Dahyan City?" Shen Long asked about the path they had passed.
Of course Shen Long realized from the beginning that the road they took, not the path to Dahyan City.
" Yes, the path we're on is the safest one. If we pass the previous path, we will definitely have a lot of trouble. Especially for you Long'er." Said Jin Song could realize that there were some people who had killing intent to Shen Long.
Of course it was because Shen Long had left their disciples severely injured.
If Shen Long was already in the Thousand Swords Sect, then they did not dare to act as it was already under the protection of the Qing Kingdom.
That was their only chance when Shen Long made the trip home.
" I'm sorry, Elder." Shen Long felt bad because of the act, they had to get into trouble.
Of course the great powers will be eyeing Shen Long for recruitment. If not, then they would have to kill him so as not to become a problem later on.
" The path we take takes two months and many robbers. Long'er since you have a Heavenly level Space Ring, then we leave our Ring to you. So that we don't have any distractions." Jin Song said as he took his Ring and gave it to Shen Long.
Of course the eyes of the robbers are very observant in choosing their targets. If their target did not use the storage Ring, then the robbers would ignore them.
As well as Lin Kun and Yan Rou Lie, they also left their Ring to Shen Long.
Even Jin Song asked Yan Rou Lie to use a face mask, for the sake of their smooth journey.
Although they could still dispel the robbers, it would slow down the journey. But it's better than choosing the main road.
After he finished eating, Jin Song asked Shen Long and Yan Rou Lie to rest.
While Jin Song and Lin Kun had to stand guard in turn to watch the place.
*******
(Sacred Sword Sect )
The female figure who was agitated because the figure he was waiting for had not also appeared in the Sacred Sword Sect.
" Mom, where's Long'gege? why hasn't he come here yet?" Jun Mei Yin asked as she looked towards her mother.
" Yin... I've already conveyed that to Shen Long. But it seems like he would rather stay in the Thousand Swords Sect." Jun Lixing replied that he did not want his daughter to be close to Shen Long.
" Maybe no mother. At least Long'gege came here to explain it." Jun Mei Yin felt disbelief that Shen Long did not care about her at all.
" Yin'er, you don't expect much from Shen Long. I feel confident that Shen Long prefers Yan Rou Lie." Jun Lixing said as he did not want his daughter to wish for Shen Long.
Not too long later we saw Elder Cang Mu and the two Sect disciples who had just come from the Sacred Pagoda Academy.
They came to Matriak's study, wanting to report their arrival.
" Greetings Matriak. We just got home from the tournament." Cang Mu saluted followed the two disciples.
" Mm-hm... What about the result?" Jun Lixing asked as he looked towards them.
" For the selection, only Yuan'er passed the selection and won the third place." Cang Mu explained.
Elder Cang Mu also explained about their journey during their time in the Sacred Pagoda Academy, yet he did not want to tell about Shen Long's background.
Of course Cang Mu had other thoughts, where he also hoped that his nephew Cang Li Yuan could become Shen Long's Wife.
Of course she had already seen the closeness of Cang Li Yuan and Shen Long, but she was worried that Jun Mei Yin as Matriak's daughter would snatch the position of her nephew.
On the other hand Jun Mei Yin looked gloomy as Shen Long was not in the entourage.
