The Ruler
238. The Ping City.
In Ping city.
Qing Ruo and Hu Yan Lan continued to move entering the center of the city quietly.
" Lord, it seems like those people from the Bing Yi clan are keeping a close eye on us," Hu Yan Lan said, speaking to Qing Ruo via telepathy.
" Just leave it. Just so they don't bother us," Qing Ruo replied calmly.
" Good ruler...." While continuing to move to find an inn.
Not long after, Qing Ruo and Hu Yan Lan finally found a luxurious inn that was in the center of that city.
" Lord, let me just servant," he said, speaking to Qing Ruo by telepathy, then meeting the innkeeper who had been waiting for them at the entrance.
" Welcome to Hua Nuren's inn, sir." said the maid respectfully.
" Miss, I want to reserve a luxurious room for our young master," Hu Yan Lan said respectfully.
" Okay, sir."
After booking the room and making the payment, the servant girl then took Qing Ruo and Hu Yan Lan towards the room they had booked.
" Let's master," said the girl respectfully.
" Alright," Hu Yan Lan said as she led Qing Ruo to follow the servant girl calmly and casually.
" Hu Yan Lan, do you feel anything strange?" qing Ruo asked speaking through telepathy.
" Right Sovereigns, like they are unhappy with our presence," Hu Yan Lan replied in surprise, when you see the visitors on the ground floor of the inn that blatantly shows their dislike.
" Do you know why they do it?"
" The servant does not know the ruler, but the servant will investigate." With a serious face.
" Alright," Qing Ruo replied, as she continued to walk calmly.
Not long after, they finally arrived at their room on the fifth floor of the inn.
" Mister, young master, please," said the maid as she opened the door of the room and greeted Qing Ruo and Hu Yan Lan respectfully.
" Thank you, miss." said Qing Ruo kindly.
" Well young master, if the two of you need anything, the two of you can call me, "the servant said respectfully.
" Good miss," Qing Ruo said once again.
After the servant girl left, Hu Yan Lan, then closed the room door and sealed the room.
" Lord, please rest. The servant will stand guard" he said respectfully and sat down on the chair in the room.
" Alright," Qing Ruo replied.
" Swhus. swhus.." Long Chen and Mayi Gui appeared inside the room.
" Lord," they said as a salute.
" I want to rest in the world of the soul. You two accompany Hu Yan Lan on guard," Qing Ruo said.
" Good Ruler." then sat down with Hu Yan Lan.
" Swhuss...." The golden disc of Ling sky appeared, then formed a ball of shield floating within the room.
" Swhus.." Qing Ruo's figure vanished within it.
Hu Yan Lan and Mayi Gui who were sitting on her chair, stared at the appearance of Ling sky golden disc in astonishment.
" The ruler is truly the owner of Shen Guoshi Ling's blood" Mayi Gui said.
" Right," said Long Chen.
" Brother Long Chen, brother Mayi Gui, what a coincidence. Earlier when we entered this inn, the visitors who were on the ground floor even in every hallway we passed looked at us seriously, and I wanted to investigate it" Hu Yan Lan said.
" If so, we should divide the task. In order to avoid suspicion, let me and brother Mayi Gui leave, and brother Hu Yan Lan to remain on guard at this place," Long Chen said in seriousness.
Hu Yan Lan was silent for a moment, then shook her head.
" But brother, this region rejects the presence of outsiders" he said seriously.
" I understand, and I can handle it."
" But brother.." said Hu Yan Lan hesitantly.
Long Chen shook his head.
" Sister Hu Yan Lan, it's about trust and obedience. From the beginning the ruler asked the brothers to keep watch. If the entrusted brother is suddenly not in place, what can you explain?"
Long Chen's words made Hu Yan Lan speechless.
" Brother, I understand" he said slowly.
" If so, we go first" Long Chen said as he carried Mayi Gui out of the room.
" be careful. If anything happens, let me know right away," Hu Yan Lan said, while locking the room door.
After Mayi Gui and Long Chen left. The room went back to being quiet. Hu Yan Lan who was about to make the mistake of leaving her responsibility to someone else, let out a long sigh.
" Nearly," he said slowly, then stood guard at the spot.
***
Somewhere else.
Long Chen and Mayi Gui moved towards the ground floor of the inn.
" Brother Mayi Gui, we'll split the task. I'll look for important information from the secret organization that is this city, while you can start an investigation of this inn."
" Good brother, I understand," said Mayi Gui, then broke away.
****
In the world of the soul.
Qing Ruo appeared in the cultivation hall, then rested in that place quietly.
An hour later, the Qing began to study the ruling seal of the blue lotus continent, but continued to fail.
" It's pretty hard." His mind, then leaving the place, moved towards the golden palace.
" Swhus.." his figure appeared inside the palace hall.
" Gege, "said Qing Ling welcoming her arrival, and hugging her warmly.
" Speak," Qing Ling said softly.
Qing Ruo smiled wryly.
" Ling er, I just learned the seal of the great ruler of the Blue Lotus Continent, but failed," he said slowly.
" Didn't the guru's grandfather ask gege to study the seal of the divine sign first?"
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" I can't wait to master it," he replied chuckling, making Qing Ling shake her head.
" Gege," Qing Ling said hesitantly.
" Speak..."
" Where are we now?" With a serious face.
" Ling er, we are currently at the Hua Nuren inn, Ping city, so we are safe" he explained.
Qing Ling nodded her head.
" Does that mean we're already in the black ice gate area?"
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" Ling er, it turns out that this ancient region is very vast, with hundreds of cities and thousands of clans in existence. In every place, we can encounter semi-eternal warriors, even the city guard soldiers are third-rate semi-eternal warriors." While explaining the difference between the divine land and the region.
" If not for the rules of space and time, maybe they could have conquered the central region easily," Qing Ling said with a solemn face.
" Right, but they didn't even think of doing that, because the region was also preoccupied with conflicts between clans."
" What's the next gege plan?"
" For it's soon to be night time, I just want to rest and recuperate," Qing Ruo replied casually.
" If so, take a rest" Qing Ling softly said.
" Good.." while taking a sitting stance then started cultivating quietly.
****
In the outside world.
Long Chen and Mayi Gui continued to move to investigate. Towards midnight the two of them finally returned to the inn room.
" Brother Long Chen, brother Mayi Gui, what did you find?" hu Yan Lan asked curiously.
" Maybe brother Mayi Gui wants to answer first," Long Chen replied, sipping his drink.
" Based on the information I obtained, the Yin Clan is currently undergoing upheaval" Mayi Gui said.
" Brother Long Chen, how is it?" hu Yan Lan asked.
" Based on the information from the secret organization I obtained earlier, each of the powers within the clan is now unable to contain themselves. Although so far there has been no open declaration of war, but each of the opposing groups has now dared to kill each other especially outside the city of Yin, and this case has occurred in several cities." Long Chen explained.
Hu Yan Lan nodded her head, understanding the reaction of the inngoers who saw Qing Ruo's presence using Yin Gan's aura in that place.
" Sister Long Chen, then what should we do?" hu Yan Lan asked.
" We'd better take a break and pass on this information tomorrow morning."
" Okay" they answered simultaneously.
