The Ruler

The Ruler
183. Qing Yan 1's.


Hua Cun Lodging Restaurant.


In a corner of the room, Qing Ruo sat quietly as she sipped her drink leisurely.


Inside his mind raged various questions. Especially regarding the existence of the Qing clan, its rules, as well as its status were so respected by the figure of Qing Yan before.


While observing the guests present, Qing Ruo tried to calm her mind.


Not long after, Qing Yan's awaited figure finally appeared inside the restaurant, which immediately approached Qing Ruo.


" Young master," he said respectfully.


" Alright, come with me," Qing Ruo said as she led her towards her room.


" Good young master." as he continued to move following Qing Ruo.


" Living in a simple inn, even his true circle of strength was unreadable at all. What an incredible disguise." Qing Yan bathed, while following Qing Ruo calmly.


Not long after, they finally arrived at the room they were referring to.


" Young master," Qing Yan said quickly, as she opened the door of the room, and greeted Qing Ruo respectfully.


" Thank you," Qing Ruo said kindly, then entered the room.


In room. Qing Ruo then sat on a chair while welcoming Qing Yan who was still standing.


" Sit down," Qing Ruo said kindly.


" But young master...." With a doubtful face.


" How are we going to speak in this way. I sit down and you stand up. Wouldn't it look so weird?"


" But young master..."


" Sit down, I hate such rules so much" Qing Ruo said sternly, making Qing Yan finally sit on a chair.


" Nah, like this is more comfortable," he said while removing the crystal grass wine from his storage ring, then pouring the drink on the glass that has been available.


" Drink," Qing Ruo said as she gave the small glass, then sipped the drink casually.


" Thank you young master," he answered stammered as he grabbed the drink and sipped slowly.


" Truly a delicious drink," his inner self as he looked at Qing Ruo who was so calm.


Not long after, Qing Ruo then took out a jade box containing five immortal peaches, five golden apples and dozens of immortal earth grapes, then placed it on the table.


" Brother Yan, please enjoy it" he said, enjoying the evolved golden apple casually, while changing his vocation.


" Thank you young master." as he grabbed the golden apple, then bit it down slowly.


Every now and then from his face appeared small changes that signified that the fruit was very influential on him.


" Brother Qing Yan, I am a free man. And I don't like rigid rules either. But that doesn't mean I hate that rule, because basically it's made so that everything is well-ordered" Qing Ruo said.


In Qing Ruo's presence, Qing Yan nodded her head, listening to every word she spoke carefully.


" Brother Qing Yan, what brings brother is in this northern region?"


" Miss sir." 


" Mission?"


" Right, I've been in this area for almost five years with the mission of finding the existence of the golden rod Shen Guoshi Yisheng that was broken by the great ancestor."


" How did it go?" qing Ruo asked pretending. 


" Nil," he answered slowly.


" It seems like brothers have to work even harder," Qing Ruo said casually, while enjoying a drink.


" It seems so. Then young master himself?" asked Qing Yan who still did not dare to change her call.


" I'm also on a mission, but it's a secret" Qing Ruo replied.


" Young master," he said hesitantly.


" Sister Yan, speak up," Qing Ruo said casually.


" Speak," Qing Ruo said casually.


" Young master, sorry in advance, are you really the descendant of ancestor Qing Fengbao?" Qing Yan asked curiously.


Qing Ruo nodded her head, while taking out a white jade badge with a wind lightning emblem. Moreover, he also displayed a wind lightning formation spell.


" Trark.." flashes of lightning appeared regularly, knocking on the whirlpool of wind spears then forming a ball of lightning that was ready to strike.


" Young master, there's no need to do that. By looking at the badge, I already believed, especially with the technique that the young master had displayed. Young master, the wind lightning technique is a lightning storm attack technique that is greatly admired, and a frightening specter for the enemies. Due to its wide attack range. Young master, sorry to doubt you before."


" Why could that be?" Asked Qing Ruo.


" It's because for these thousands of years, we thought that the Fengbao ancestor was gone," he said looking fixedly at Qing Ruo.


" No?"


" Young master, this was already a dozen thousand years ago, ever since the Fengbao ancestor left the Clan. And Grand Ancestor Kongque thought that ancestor Fengbao was dead. Because other than his figure who had never returned, the soul jade badge that was on the holy altar had also been destroyed."


Qing Ruo smiled kindly nodding her head.


" Brother Yan, isn't the Jade soul badge manipulative. Brother Yan needs to know. We descendants of the Fengbao Ancestor consist of twelve thousand souls in the main family, and three branch families totaling thirty-two thousand souls," Qing Ruo casually said, made Qing Yan gape.


" How is it possible. For thousands of years, we've never even met...."


" What are we now calling?" qing Ruo asked.


" Young master is right" he said with a shy laugh.


" Then if the servant may know, why did the young master and the others not return to the clan?"


" That's exactly what I want to ask brother," Qing Ruo said in seriousness.


" What does the young master mean?"


" Brother, we have been separated for thousands of years. Is it possible we're back? Besides, we also really dislike those strict and harsh rules," Qing Ruo explained, leaving Qing Yang speechless.


" Young master is right. However, the rule was made to protect all members of the clan and be a reminder, so that everyone understands the limits. The young respect the old. The one from the main family gets his rights and position, as well as the branch family clan, should not want to behave like the master."


Qing Ruo nodded her head.


" Brother Yan is right. If so, Do you know how we can return to the clan?"


" Young master, I don't know either" he replied seriously.


" Brother Yan, to be honest I also want to meet the elders in the main clan, but I don't know where I should look."


" Young master can go south, go to Ye city. In that city the young master could go to the Liang clan, which was a pseudonym of the Qing clan. Moreover, the young master could also go to Han city, and look for Di Er's clan, which was also a pseudonym of the Qing clan. From those two places, the young master could use the teleportation gate to go to the southern ice mainland. In the deepest region of the southern ice mainland, the young master would find a black lightning gate, which was the gate to go to the main clan. From the southern lightning gate, the young master could go to the holy residence," Qing Yang explained in detail.


" Good brother. Thank you," Qing Ruo said calmly. In his heart, he was so happy to finally know the secret place.


" But the young master needs to be careful. The southern ice fields are a very dangerous forbidden place."


Qing Ruo nodded her head.


" Brother Yan, calm down" Qing Ruo said respectfully.


" Semi immortal level eight, I'm the one who's too stupid." The inner wry.


" Young master need not be shy. It is an obligation and an honor for me" he said.


" Brother Yan, there is one thing that has plagued my mind up to this point," Qing Ruo said with a look of laughter.


" Young master, what is it?"


" The reason Ancestor Fengbao left the Clan," Qing replied.


" Young Master, I don't know either. The only way to find out about it is to meet Kongque's great ancestor in the sacred residence. Besides, I'm sure the arrival of the young master will be good news for the great ancestor."


Qing Ruo nodded her head.


" Hopefully so. Brother Yan, I want you to keep this matter a secret."


" Good young master," he replied respectfully.
