The Ruler
116. Ground Floor Lodging I.
By Morning.
Qing Ruo ended her actions that channeled strength with immortal soul crystals.
Slowly the aura of a three-stage peak semi immortal that had previously continued to circulate from his body, slowly disappeared.
" There's still time," his inner self, then left the cultivation hall, moving towards the blue jade lake to recover his injuries in that place.
" Swhus.. swhus.." his body darted rapidly.
In a short time, Qing Ruo finally arrived at the blue Jade lake.
In that place..
Qing Ruo directly entered the bottom of the lake to absorb the power from Shen Guoshi Yisheng's golden scepter up close.
Two hours later.
At the time when the soul world was really already bright, Qing Ruo then left the place, moving towards the ancient lightning palace.
" Swhus...." The figure arrived at the palace courtyard which was greeted by Qing Yong Jun who was training accompanied by Luo Feng at that place.
" Dad.." he said happily.
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" Continue your practice," while gently rubbing Qing Yong Jun's hair, then walked over to Luo Feng who was sitting on the garden chair.
" Father," Qing Ruo said respectfully, while asking the state of the ruler.
" Ruo er, as you can see," he replied casually, while asking the purpose of Qing Ruo's arrival at that place.
" Dad, I want to ask you something," Qing Ruo said respectfully.
" Speak..."
" What do you know about Shen Guoshi Yisheng's golden scepter?"
" Did you find it?"
Qing Ruo nodded her head, making Luo Feng so excited.
" Ruo er, Shen Guoshi Yisheng's golden scepter is a precious object, a high-level healing heirloom, for it has a blood soul golden spiritual aura."
" But Father, the golden scepter is not intact," Qing Ruo said softly.
" Of course. Because the golden scepter was smashed by the main Ancestor of Qing Tian. Finding the part alone was enough," Luo Feng explained.
Qing Ruo nodded her head then explained how she got the piece of the golden stick in detail, as well as placing the heirloom in the Blue Jade Lake.
" It's really incredible luck. Ruo er, you need to know. Actually the golden stick that Yisheng was so proud of was crushed by the main ancestor of Qing Tian into three pieces. However I did not expect, if the Liu clan turned out to have two other pieces."
After hearing Luo Feng's explanation, Qing Ruo finally felt confident that the spiritual power released by the broken golden scepter was harmless.
" Dad," I want father to recover his strength in the blue jade lake," Qing Ruo said explaining the main purpose of coming to the place.
" Alright, I understand," Luo Feng said happily.
After conversing about the whereabouts of Shen Guoshi Yisheng's golden scepter, Qing Ruo then bid farewell to Luo Feng and Qing Yong Jun, moving away from the ancient lightning palace, then out of the soul world.
" Swhus.." his figure appeared inside the inn room. Huo Mingzhi and Huo Zhaodau were absorbing the spiritual aura in the room.
" Ruler," said the two fire Qilins greeting Qing Ruo respectfully.
" Is there anything suspicious?"
" There was no ruler, only two second-rate semi-immortal figures who were outside the room, keeping watch without leaving this place.
Qing Ruo nodded her head, then asked the two Fire Qilins to return to the soul world.
After Huo Zhaodau and Huo Mingzhi returned to the soul world, Qing Ruo then walked out of the room, meeting him on the ground floor, to enjoy the morning atmosphere of the city at the inn restaurant before continuing his journey north.
Quietly Qing Ruo then headed towards the table that was in the corner of the room, and sat down at the place quietly.
In that place, the several figures of the three middle-aged male sosks who were high-level semi-eternal warriors, were sitting quietly without paying any attention to Qing Ruo in the slightest, in contrast to the god king level warriors, who were all god-king warriors, up to the god emperor level swordsman who was staring at Qing Ruo with a cold grin.
Not long after, a servant approached him.
" Miss, I want to try the best cuisine in this place" he said ordering food.
" Okay sir, please wait," he said respectfully and left Qing Ruo.
While waiting for the service to bring out his order, Qing Ruo searched for information by listening to the conversations of the guests present in the place.
" It seems like there is no important information. "inner, because the people who are in that place are only focused on talking about the recruitment of soldiers of the Sky Empire army
Not long after that the order came. Suddenly, a young man entered the room in a hurry.
" Sister, what's wrong?"
" Brothers, I have just returned from the town square. The major generals of the celestial empire have arrived, and they will soon start a competition to conduct recruitment..." Eagerly.
" Creally...?"
" right. Let's hurry, because there are many people who have come," said the young man while moving to bring his entourage.
Without waiting for long, the dozens of youths who were in the place also rushed to leave the inn restaurant, some of them that had not had time to enjoy the food, making Qing Ruo only able to shake her head.
Within a short time the place became quiet, leaving behind three other youths as well as three middle-aged men, who did not even move a single bit from his seat.
Not long after, one of the middle-aged men opened a conversation.
" Daughter, aren't you coming with them?" Asked the middle-aged man, speaking to Qing Ruo kindly.
Qing Ruo shook her head, smiling kindly at the figure of the middle-aged man.
" Older I'm not interested," Qing Ruo replied respectfully.
" Oh, this is very interesting. Son, do you not like the sky empire? asked another middle-aged man, looking at Qing Ruo with his friendly smile.
Qing Ruo shook her head..
" Not interested, doesn't mean I hate the Celestial Empire. I am a person who does not want to be bound and always wants to be free," Qing Ruo explained with her friendly smile.
The middle-aged man smiled casually, looking at Qing Ruo who was so calm before him in surprise.
" But what if the sky empire forces?" ask one of the elders.
Qing Ruo with her friendly smile looked at the three figures of the middle-aged man who were only three tables away from his place leisurely.
" Older, that's tantamount to seeking death," Qing Ruo replied casually, surprising the elders.
" Daughter, that means you defy orders. Are you sure you'll do it?"
Qing Ruo frowned looking at the three middle-aged men in surprise.
" Older, is there something wrong with my words?"
" Of course, son," answered the elder quickly.
Qing Ruo shook her head.
" Older, if the Celestial Emperor really had such an idea? Doesn't he want to kill himself, because after all, forcing someone to work for us is like creating an enemy of his own. A faithful servant can betray, let alone those who work under pressure." Qing Ruo explained, shaking her head.
" Daughter, there are many ways that can be used so that the person can become obedient to the command. One of them by oppressing them, and finding their weaknesses.
Qing Ruo clasped her head.
" Power and power can indeed be used to oppress, but until when? Elders, only stones that do not fight, even so, sometimes stones that can not harm others, but can also cause harm, let alone a lifeless figure. Elders, we never know the depth of the heart, and the breadth of the minds of others. A person who continues to be under oppression, will devise a plan with his mind and do it with his heart.In the moment of power we can do anything, but when that power and power is over, it will end, then the real trouble will come. In addition to burdening yourself, the problem will also affect the younger generation who are not even satisfied with the problem at all." said Qing Ruo, while enjoying the food casually.
The three middle-aged men fell silent, even the other three young men who were still inside the room were also no less surprised, staring at Qing Ruo in full probing.
