The Ruler
235. The Three Rulers.
While enjoying the crystal grass wine, Qing Ruo and his entourage chatted casually, while talking about their plans.
" Young master, if I may know where you're going next?" ask Yanshi Gong.
" Ping Xie Sky Mountain," Qing Ruo replied calmly, making Yanshi Gong almost spout a drink from her mouth.
" Older, is there something wrong with that place?" Qing Ruo asked in surprise.
" Young master, that place is more dangerous than this dark forest area," he said with a serious face.
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" I know that, and the reason I don't want to bring the elder, is because I can't guarantee the safety of the elder in that place," Qing Ruo said calmly, leaving Yanshi Gong speechless.
At the moment when they were conversing, suddenly Qing Ruo and her entourage felt the presence of two figures, moving closer to them.
" Young master, this is." said Yanshi Gong, standing in a standby manner.
" Swhuss..swhus ..." Hu Yan Lan's figure with the figure of the middle-aged man paled in that place.
" Young master Qing Ruo, the servant came to bring the Northern Lord of the dark forest," Hu Yan Lan kneeled before Qing Ruo respectfully, then followed the figure of the middle-aged man, following, making Yanshi Gong and Ying Yin who were regaining her strength gaped.
" General Hu Yan Lan, the ruler of Hu Xie Fang, get up" Qing Ruo said kindly.
" Thank you young master," respectfully joined Qing Ruo and his entourage. Not too long later, two extremely powerful auras suddenly moved back towards them.
" Swhus...." The two middle-aged figures that appeared at that place, suddenly kneeled back before him Qing Ruo.
" Mayi Hu, the ruler of the dark forest's western region, saluted the young master."
" Mao Chen, the ruler of the eastern region of the dark forest, saluted the young master."
" Ruler Mayi Hu, Ruler Mao Chen, wake up" Qing Ruo said kindly, asking the two figures to join them.
" Young master, they are.." said Yanshi Gong speaking to Qing Ruo via telepathy.
" They are three dark forest masters," Qing Ruo replied calmly, as she took out a few bottles of crystal grass wine from within her storage ring.
" Young master, we have personally come to beg for your forgiveness for our Generals inappropriate actions before," Mao Chen said.
" Lord Mao Chen, I am also sorry for killing Mao Cheng and Mao Teng, and capturing Moa Bing and the others," qing Ruo replied as he poured the crystal grass wine on the small glass and gave it to them.
" Thank you young master," said Mao Chen and his entourage as he grabbed the glass and sipped the drink calmly.
" Young master, this is purely our fault, so young master need not apologize" Mayi Hu said humbly.
" This is purely a misunderstanding," Qing Ruo said kindly.
" Swhuss.swhus.." the figure of Mao Bing and his entourage who were inside Qing Ruo's storage ring appeared at that place, staring at Mao Chen's presence, the, Mayi Hu and Hu Xie Fang with their mouths agape.
" Pe-ruler," they said simultaneously while kneeling respectfully.
" Mao Bing, Mao Tang, from now on, you guys are the personal protectors of young masters," Mao Chen said kindly.
" Good Ruler, we will protect him with our lives," Mao Tang replied solemnly.
Seeing Mao Bing, Mao Tang, Mayi Gui, Mayi Xian and Mayi Cao as the personal servants of Qing Ruo, Hu Xie Fang proposed to Hu Yan Lan to be the personal protector of Qing Ruo.
" Young master, please accept," he said solemnly.
Qing Ruo shook her head.
" Lord Hu Xie Fang, the dark forest needs many figures like General Hu Yan Lan. Anyway, if all your generals follow me, then who will protect this place."
" But young master, we have no shortage of people. And this is unfair because we also want there to be members of our clan serving you" he said seriously.
Qing Ruo who did not want to argue and made a cheerful presence among the lords of the dark forest, then nodded her head.
" Thank you young master," Hu Yan Lan and Hu Xie Fang said excitedly.
Among the crowd, Yanshi Gong and Ying Yin could only fall silent. Looking at the togetherness that was before their eyes in wonder. They did not expect that the figure of Qing Ruo who had been continuously chased by the dark forest protectors was someone who was very respectful by the three forest masters..
" Rulers, it just so happens that tomorrow morning I will continue my journey. I want you to give special protection to elder Yanshi Gong who will return to Da Men city," Qing Ruo said introducing the figure of Yanshi Gong who was sculpting at the place.
" Good young master. I will deliver it myself" said the three rulers simultaneously.
" Alright," Mo Chen and Mayi Hu replied
" Thank you ruler," Qing Ruo said kindly, and continued their casual conversation.
All night they talked about many things in the place until the morning.
" Young master, thank you," Hu Xie Fang said, while giving Qing Ruo a storage ring containing resources and a blue-eyed black tiger clan badge on Qing Ruo, it was followed by Mao Chen, the ruler of Mayi Hu.
" Thank you," Qing Ruo said as she received the storage ring, then gave each of them a storage ring containing high-level resources and immortal fruits.
" Young master, this is inappropriate" said Mao Chen who wanted to refuse.
" I have received, so I must give. Even I have taken a lot on you guys," Qing Ruo said kindly.
" The rulers do not refuse. The young master was very unhappy if his gift was refused," Long Chen spoke telepathically to the three figures, making their faces deathly pale.
" Young master, we received the prize" said Mayi Hu quickly, followed by Hu Xie Fang and Mao Chen.
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" I want you to build strength, because it doesn't rule out the possibility that one day I'll need your help."
" Good young master," the three lords replied respectfully.
" Young master, we're retreating. If the young master is in trouble, feel free to call us," Hu Xie Fang said as he kneeled respectfully, then followed by Mo Chen and Mayi Hu.
" Alright," Qing Ruo replied.
After saying goodbye, the three rulers of the dark forest then moved to leave the place.
" Young master, I go first," Yanshi Gong said respectfully, moving away from the place, following Hu Xie Fang's figure.
" Good elder, take care of yourself and be careful," Qing Ruo said respectfully.
After Mao Chen and his entourage left, suddenly the place became silent.
" Ruler," said Long Chen.
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" Hua Yan Lan, this is a soul chain," Qing Ruo said as she unleashed a golden chain with lightning power on the body of the General from the blue-eyed black Tiger clan.
" Both young master, I understand," he said, letting the golden chain bind his soul force.
" Good all of you rest, soon we will continue on our way," Qing Ruo said as she opened the dimensional gate of the soul world.
" Good young master," they said with astonishment and hesitation.
" Long Chen," Qing Ruo said to the silver dragon calmly.
" Lord, is this harmless?" speaking to Qing Ruo through telepathy.
" Long Chen, I trust them to you," Qing Ruo said in seriousness.
" Okay" long Chen slowly.
" Brothers, follow me" he said slowly and entered the dimensional gate of the soul world and vanished into it.
" Young master," said Mao Tang and his entourage looking at Qing Ruo seriously.
" Come in, Long Chen will explain to you," Qing Ruo said calmly and kindly.
" Okay, young master."
One by one they entered the dimensional gate of the world, then vanished in it.
" Ying Yin, take a rest, we'll soon continue our journey."
" Good sir." Then it followed Qing Ruo who started absorbing the immortal soul crystal.
