The Ruler
195. Heian City 2.
By morning. Qing Ruo woke up from her sleep, finding Qing Ling who was breastfeeding the little Qing Lian An.
" Gege," Qing Ling said greeting Qing Ruo who was approaching her.
" Ling er, I want to keep an eye on the soul world" he said.
" Alright," Qing Ling replied.
After bidding farewell to Qing Ling and Qing Lian An, Qing Ruo then moved to leave the golden palace and began to watch over all the places within the soul world.
" Swhus.. swhus." his figure hiding behind an illusionary shield appeared above the sky of the soul world, watching each place closely. Starting from the western prison, the golden dragon palace, the forbidden territory of the soul world where he sealed the green jade flute, until it finally appeared in the southern region of the soul world.
From above the sky. Qing Ruo could see Luo Jiao Lie was recuperating inside the Blue Jade lake, in the company of Qing Yong Jun who was cultivating inside the Blue Jade gazebo.
After inspecting the place, Qing Ruo then moved to inspect the perennial orchard, finding Yuan Bai and Yuan Hei was directing Wu Ming and his entourage who were now workers at the orchard.
After you have checked all the places. Qing Ruo then went to the golden bamboo Villa, while calling Long Yu Wei to meet him at that place.
Two minutes after Qing Ruo arrived, Long Yu Wei arrived at that place.
" The ruler." Kneel before Qing Ruo respectfully.
" Yu Wei, wake up. There's something I want to talk about," Qing Ruo said kindly as she invited him to sit on the garden chair.
" Thank you, ruler." Sitting in an available chair.
" Yu Wei, who is the general figure of Long Sihai exactly?" With a serious face.
" Ruler, general Long Sihai is a very extraordinary figure, just like his character who is a water dragon. Calm yet so easy to crack. Why would the ruler ask such a thing. Has something happened?"
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" After absorbing the formless water Pearls, lately I feel my emotions are so easily ignited, even I started acting cruel," Qing Ruo explained to herself who tortured Ji Huan and her entourage.
Qing Ruo's explanation of her behavior, made Long Yu Wei shudder.
" Does that probably have something to do with the soul-strengthening golden grass?"
" It's possible" Qing Ruo said.
" Ruler, regarding this matter the servant really has no solution. But the ruler could try to relax and calm himself down more by visiting a place that releases an aura of tranquility and a place that makes the ruler feel happy."
" Alright," Qing Ruo replied, nodding her head.
After conversing for quite a while with Long Yu Wei at that place, Qing Ruo then returned to the golden palace.
****
The golden palace.
" Gege," Qing Ling said welcoming her arrival.
" What about An er?"
" It has fallen asleep again" Qing Ling said.
" Alright, let's enjoy the atmosphere of Heian city."
After peeping Qing Lian An's forehead, Qing Ruo then brought Qing Ling out of the soul world.
" Swhuss...." His figure appeared inside the room, which was immediately greeted by Long Fu and Long Qe who were guarding the place.
Not long after. Yuan Bai, Yuan Hei, Long Chen, Long Yu Wei and Youlin Sha were also out from within the soul world.
" Long Fu, Long Qe, we will enjoy the atmosphere of Heian city" Qing Ruo said as he passed them a bamboo scroll containing basic information about the city.
" What is the ruler saying, this?"
" Study. We will go first" he said, leaving Long Qe and his entourage.
After Qing Ruo and Qing Ling left that place. Long Qe and his entourage then studied the scroll of information.
*****
Somewhere else.
From afar Qing Ruo could see the five figures who continued to follow her sitting in a corner of the room, staring at her arrival at the place with an excited smile.
" Gege, them?"
" They are the underworked youths who are from Bao city," Qing Ruo replied casually, as she continued to bring Qing Ling moving away from the place.
Suddenly one of them approached Qing Ruo and confronted him.
" Sister, it turns out that this woman you brought is very beautiful. Are-"
" She's my wife, Lan Yue, ' Qing Ruo said with a cold gaze, making the young man gasp.
" Sister, don't trick me. Weren't-"
" Is the lesson I gave you before still not enough!" With a sharp look.
" Gege, never mind," Qing Ling said soothingly, as she pulled her hand away from the place. But another young man came near.
" Brother, why should you hurry," he said pretending to be friendly looking at Qing Ling bravely.
" The young man. Keep your eyes on that, or I'll-"
" Brother, don't be angry like that. Wouldn't it be better if we had a drink first."
Suddenly Qing Ruo laughed out loud, to the point of attracting everyone's attention.
" I really appreciate your kindness, but because I want to enjoy the atmosphere of Heian city with my wife, then the drinking event I ask all the brothers in this room to replace me. You guys can order anything, even this brother just said he would give you two million soul crystals per person," Qing Ruo said loudly, pointing at the two youths before him.
Qing Ruo's words made the atmosphere inside the room boisterous, but were loudly rebutted by the young man.
" Gentlemen, I've never said anything like that, let alone would do those things"
" Brother, is it just paying for drinks and handing out soul crystals that don't make you poor? Do good not only to friends, but to everyone, too" Qing Ruo said, cutting off the young man's words, then taking Qing Ling away from the place.
The two speechless young men stared at Qing Ruo and Qing Ling's departure in agape.
After Qing Ruo and Qing Ling left. The other young man approached the two young men and surprised them.
" How could you be tricked like that. Didn't I tell you. Don't give him a chance to talk." Talking through telepathy.
" My brother -"
" Bod*h-w. How can you.... Argh. This time we lose again." The young man was angry.
" But brother, can't we go."
"Shut your mouth. Don't you see if everyone in this room is staring at us? Now you go and follow them."
" Ba-good brother."
After the two young men left, the other young man continued their friendly ways filled with pretense by holding back the wrath.
****
Somewhere else.
Along the way, Qing Ling unceasingly chuckled, upon hearing Qing Ruo's story of deceiving the young men.
Not too long later the two auras they were familiar with, moved closer to them.
" Gege, like they really don't want to let go of us."
" Just leave it," Qing Ruo replied casually, then stopped waiting for the two young men.
Behind Qing Ruo.
The two young men who were aware of his presence had been noticed by Qing Ruo then slowed down their steps and hid among the crowd of many people.
" Brother, it seems they have known us."
" It seems so. Then what should we do?"
" It looks like I have to kill you guys," said Qing Ruo who suddenly appeared on the side of the two young men.
