The Ruler
260. Inside Gu Lu City.
The sound of explosions that continued to echo in the center of Gu Lu, making visitors in the city scatter out to save themselves, including Mayi Xian and Mayi Cao who moved towards the city gate.
" Swhus..." Dozens of young men continued to scatter out through the city gate which turned out to be unguarded.
" Keep moving, we'll wait outside the city" Mayi Xian said.
" Okay, brother," Mayi Cao said as he moved.
After continuing to move, they stopped in the forest of the western region which was 5 kilometers from the City, then stopped with dozens of other young men.
" Fuck, I haven't even had a chance to enjoy my meal yet" said a grumbling young man.
" At least the brothers have saved themselves" said another young man chimed in.
" This is so strange, why did the Yin clan attack this city?"
" Brother, I don't know either. This area should be the safest of the other cities" the young man replied in surprise.
" Did the Yin clan deliberately let the enemy fish in the murky water?"
" It could have been" the other young man replied.
Not far from the young men, Mayi Xian and Mayi Cao immediately reported the events that had just happened to Qing Ruo.
" Brother, regarding this I feel uncomfortable" Mayi Xian said.
" You mean brother?" Mayi Cao asked in surprise.
" I'm afraid the ruler did not check his storage ring, because based on our calculations, the ruler should have arrived in this region" he replied slowly.
" Hopefully it is not so" said Mayi Cao.

Somewhere else.
Qing Ruo, who was already in the north of Gu Lu, was shocked when she saw people scattering to save themselves.
" It turns out that the chaos has begun" he said, walking casually, then entering a simple tavern not far from his place.
" Miss, I want the best drink," relax while occupying the available seats.
" Good sir," the tavern owner replied calmly.
While waiting for his order to come, Qing Ruo inspected his storage ring.
" It turned out that Mayi Xian and Mayi Cao were already outside the city" he said slowly and asked them not to approach the city.
" Please, sir," said the tavern owner respectfully, then occupying the seat that was in front of Qing Ruo.
" Thank you, miss...." Sip the drink calmly.
" Young master, aren't you leaving?" asked the tavern owner respectfully, starting their casual conversation.
Qing Ruo shook her head slowly.
" Well, miss, why not go?""
Her beautiful face looked confused, then eyes looked at the ceiling of the room with a look of laughter.
" I'm sure the city gates must have been closed, sir," he said softly, occasionally hearing the sound of explosions from the city center constantly echoing.
Qing Ruo clasped her head.
" I think so too. At the city gate, we will get an inspection, most likely we will be detained" he said calmly.
" What is your next plan?" ask the girl in curiosity.
" Hide in this place," Qing Ruo replied calmly.
" Hiding in this place?" looking at Qing Ruo in surprise.
" Right, is there something wrong?"
" Is the young master not kidding?"
" Miss, what do you think a safe place is?" qing Ruo asked casually, taking a sip of his drink.
" The underground passageway, the secret room, and the place of special protection," the girl replied seriously.
" right. If miss becomes a city warrior, will miss checking out a tavern that has no protection at all like this?"
Qing Ruo's question made the Girl speechless.
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" Fortunately the party that attacked the city center, did not make any damage in various places. So we're safe." Enjoy the drink quietly.

5 Kilometers west of Gu Lu.
Mayi Xian and Mayi Cao who were waiting at that place, suddenly received a soul message from Qing Ruo.
" Brother, the ruler asks us not to approach the city" Mayi Xian said.
" Well, that means the Ruler is safe." Mayi Cao responded.
Not long after, suddenly the sound of explosions that continued to echo in the center of the city stopped.
" Is it over?" ask the young men to look at each other.
" As such, but we must not approach until the city is completely calm." said Mayi Xian.

In the shop.
Qing Ruo sat quietly, accompanied by the tavern owner girl, chatting leisurely.
" Young master, it looks like the battle is over..."
" It seems so, but we also can't move freely, because the side that wins the battle will conduct checks at every place, to make sure things go."
" Young master, right," he said softly, looking at Qing Ruo in awe.
" It's very quiet, very smart. Who this young master really is..." Satisfying while enjoying the drink.
" But, did the lady not return to the palace?" qing Ruo asked suddenly, surprising the girl.
" You mean sir?" ask the shop owner in surprise.
" Someone else may be deceived, but not me. Do I have to call you princess?" qing Ruo asked once more, making the girl even more surprised.
" Young master, don't joke around" he said seriously.
Qing Ruo was silent for a moment, then stared fixedly at the girl.
" The tavern-owning girl with a second-rate semi-eternal power who was very calm. I don't know for how many years she was able to collect income to be able to pay four middle eight stage semi-eternal warriors hiding in four different cardinal directions" she said with a casual smile.
" You!" Move backwards, keeping a distance with Qing Ruo.
Qing Ruo simply shook her head while smiling casually.
" Daughter, your reaction is so funny, isn't it all the time we're together, then why is your reaction like that?"
" Sir, who are you?" With a sharp look.
" Daughter, I'm just a wanderer who happens to pass through Gu Lu town. Sit down, after all, if I have evil intentions, can't I do it from the beginning?"
The tavern-owning girl ended up occupying a seat that was quite far away from Qing Ruo, but now her attitude was full of vigilance.
" Daughter, I'm Qing Ruo...." Introduce yourself while cupping his hands respectfully.
" Shen Guoshi Qing." said the girl looking fixedly at Qing Ruo.
" People call us that" Qing Ruo said kindly.
" Young master Qing Ruo, far away from the south came to the north. What is the real purpose of the master?" with a vigilant attitude.
" Daughter, I told you before. I was wandering," Qing Ruo replied calmly.
" Young master, leave this city immediately. You cannot be accepted by the master of Gu Lu city, not even a large Clan," the girl said seriously.
Qing Ruo was silent.
" Old Yanshi Gong is right. The people of the black ice gate were very unhappy with the foreigners. If not out of fear or disdain, maybe this girl has caused a tantrum, "her inner self.
" Daughter, I will indeed leave, but the situation is not possible" Qing Ruo said as she shook her head.
" But it's none of my business, if they knew I was protecting a Qing, then I would really have a hard time" he said in seriousness.
Qing Ruo had yet to speak, suddenly, all four eighth-level semi-immortal figures protecting the girl, appeared inside the room.
" Daughter," they said greeting the girl respectfully, staring intently at Qing Ruo.
