The Ruler
112. The Golden Lake City.
Somewhere else.
Qing Ruo continued to set foot leaving the palace grounds, heading towards the northern gate of the city leisurely. While walking away from the downtown area, not forgetting to inform him, Hu Shan and his entourage.
After walking for quite a while, Qing Ruo finally stopped at a simple tavern, which was not far away from the North gate of the City.
" Miss," Qing Ruo said to a female servant, and ordered a drink.
" Aren't you with the food, sir?"
Qing Ruo shook her head with a friendly smile.
" Later," he said casually.
" Okay sir, wait a minute." said the waiter, hurrying to prepare the order. .

Somewhere else.
Hu Shan and his entourage who were enjoying the atmosphere of the Golden Lake city, and were searching for various types of information, were suddenly startled by the message from Qing Ruo.
"The ruler will leave immediately" he said, alerting his entourage, then rushing towards the northern gate area of the City.
***
Simple shop north of town.
Qing Ruo sat quietly, enjoying her drink, while observing everyone present in the place leisurely.
The townspeople who came to the modest tavern, looked so happy, had a casual conversation while laughing.
" Brother, I think in the next five to ten years, the Golden Lake City will be crowded."
" I think so too, because it is not possible, people who are always looking for a safe place to live will come to this city."
" You are right, as it is certain, that the city of the Golden Lake will be one of the safest cities in the Northern border region." smiling happily.
" Right, the appearance of someone from that extremely powerful ancient clan would guarantee the safety of this city. Even the news had now spread across another city," said the young man proudly, making Qing Ruo who was sitting not far from their place, almost spout a drink from her mouth.
" Sir, is something wrong?" Asked the young man with a sour face, offended by Qing Ruo's actions.
" No brother, I'm just too excited..." Qing Ruo replied giving an excuse, while holding back her laughter.
" If only the people from the Nan clan knew that I had lied to them, perhaps their story would have been different," Qing Ruo concluded.
" Brother, are you not from the inhabitants of this city?"
" right. I even just arrived," Qing Ruo replied.
" It's only natural, it turns out you are a new person, so do not know the important events that occurred a few days ago," said the Youth excitedly.
" You mean brother?" qing Ruo asked, curious.
" Suadara, I don't need to tell you in detail, I can say that you are safe in this city."
" My brother is getting clueless" Qing Ruo said pretending.
" Hais, you need to know that this Golden Lake city is under the protection of a high-level Swordsman of an extremely powerful Ancient God clan." With a proud face.
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" What a lucky city, but will that guarantee the city will remain safe?" qing Ruo asked quietly, while continuing to be friendly.
" Of course, even hearing his name, people will leave right away" the young man replied confidently.
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" I hope so," Qing Ruo said softly.
At the moment when they were conversing, suddenly Hu Shan and his entourage arrived.
" Mister" he said, changing his call.
" Sit down," Qing Ruo said kindly, ordering food and drinks.
" Thank you Ruler," Hu Shan said respectfully, speaking via telepathy.
While waiting for the confirmation to arrive, Qing Ruo then explained her goal.
" Hu Shan, Tu Hai, I will soon continue my journey. As for Huli Bai and Huli Hei, will come with me."
" Will the Ruler leave now?" Ask Yu Jieru.
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" The sooner the better, because in any case, I must arrive at the southern region immediately and build up strength. Lianghao, Liong Hei, guide your brothers."
" Good Ruler, soon we will also leave soon," Hu Shan replied.
" Be calm, you don't have to rush. You can rest a few more days before continuing on your journey."
" Good Ruler."
Not long after, the shopkeeper returned, bringing food and drinks.
The actions of Hu Shan and his entourage towards Qing Ruo attracted the attention of the other visitors, even the youths who had previously spoken to Qing Ruo, stared at the new group in surprise.
" Who is this young man really? Look at the newly arrived warriors treating him with great respect." spoke to his entourage.
" Brother, I'm also curious, but they seem to be talking through telepathy..."
" right..."
In front of other visitors.
Qing Ruo chatted leisurely until late in the afternoon, then ended their conversation.
" Okay, I'll go. Take care of yourself. If anything happens, let me know immediately," Qing Ruo said firmly.
" Good Ruler," they replied respectfully.
Quietly Qing Ruo then left Hu Shan and his entourage in the humble tavern, continuing on his way to the North gate of the city.
At that place, Hu Shan and his entourage let go of Qing Ruo's departure respectfully. Although they looked so calm, yet in their hearts, they were so sad. They knew they would meet again, but after many years together, the journey without the Master would now be different.
" May the Sovereign's affairs run smoothly and we can be together again," Yu Jieru said with teary eyes, staring at Qing Ruo's back which moved away from the place.
" Hopefully the Sovereign finds no difficulty," said Jinse, who was so worried about Qing Ruo.
" Be calm. Along the way, and our togetherness, the ruler is the one who is able to put himself. I'm sure we'll soon gather again in the South" Hu Shan said, calming his entourage, then continuing his cooperation in that place.

Somewhere else.
Qing Ruo continued to step foot leisurely, until she finally arrived at the North gate of the city.
At the time Qing Ruo was talking to the guard soldiers. Suddenly the commander of the troops guarding the top of the fortress, met Qing Ruo doubtfully.
" Is he Qing Ruo's young master, or someone else...?" doubtfully.
" Mister," said the commander, approaching Qing Ruo respectfully.
In a friendly manner, Qing Ruo nodded her head, then explained her goal.
" Okay sir" said the commander and asked the soldiers to open the city gates.
" Thank you," Qing Ruo said kindly, cupping her hands respectfully, then left the place.
" Commander, is something wrong?" asked the soldier, approaching the commander who usually rarely went down to meet guests who would leave the city, moreover, the actions of the Commander who did not take his eyes off the figure of Qing Ruo who continued to move left that place.
" Soldier do you know that young man?"
" No commander.." shaking his head, looked at the commander in surprise.
" Hais, back then I couldn't see his face clearly, because I was in the back row, but I'm sure, that young man was Qing Ruo's master, anyway, the man who saved the city" said the commander.
Just as the commander finished those words, suddenly the figure of Qing Ruo who was twenty-five meters away from them, suddenly vanished from their sight.
" Ko-komandan, that." said the soldier was surprised, looking at the commander who was no less surprised.
" Soldier, I'm sure it must be him..."
" What does the commander mean?"
" This aura explosion. I recognised. He was Qing Ruo's young master." with a serious face, making the soldier gape.
" Young master Qing Ruo has left. Soldiers, this is a secret between us. Remember, don't spread this information, or this town will be in danger."
" Good commander, this secret we will keep with our lives" the soldiers said solemnly.
