The Ruler
261. Yuan Liu's.
Qing Ruo welcomed the arrival of the warriors calmly.
" General..." Cupping his hands respectfully.
" Young master, please leave this place right now," said the figure calmly.
" But elder, the atmosphere outside is still not possible, give me some time to stay for a while in this place," Qing Ruo said kindly.
" Mister, this is the ancient rule of the black Ice Gate region" said one of the other forcing figures.
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" Good general, thank you." While taking out the storage ring and placing it on the table.
" Young master, you don't have to pay," the girl said in seriousness, leaving Qing Ruo speechless.
" But princess, I've taken then I have to pay."
" Young master, just go. You don't have to pay," said one general, leaving Qing Ruo speechless.
" Do you hate us that much?" Qing Ruo asked curiously.
" Young master, don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean that. Besides, the wine I served was not the best wine, so I'm sorry," the girl replied explaining.
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" Daughter, I'm sorry to have misjudged, but in my world, nothing is free. If you refuse my money, please accept my gift." While placing two bottles of crystal grass wine on the table.
Qing Ruo then cupped his hands respectfully, then left the place.
" At last." said the girl who let out a long sigh, looking at the four figures who were by her side calmly.
" Daughter, brother, you almost made a mistake" said one general in seriousness.
" What does General Lu Dan mean?"
" Letting a man like young master Qing Ruo leave just like that without paying for the drink he had enjoyed, it could demean her," Lu Dan said in a serious manner, making the room go silent.
" Once, no need to talk about it anymore. Princess, what should we do?"
The girl nodded her head.
" General Lu Dan and General Xui Long, protect young master Qing Ruo until he gets out of the city. General Shan Ye and General Xiao Mu, check the state of the palace."
" Good princess...." Then move away from that place.
After the four generals left, the girl then grabbed the two bottles of drink that Qing Ruo had left behind earlier.
" Hais, why must it be from that ancient clan." Hugging the two bottles tightly.

On the city streets.
Qing Ruo continued to move towards the city gate calmly. Previously he hoped to immediately build a relationship with the city lord's daughter, so that he could meet the city lord and build strength in that place.
" They're really not friendly." he said.
Due to the chaos that occurred in the city center, making the city streets that were usually so crowded, now became quiet making it easier for Qing Ruo to feel the presence of a figure watching her.
" It seems they don't want to let me go." His inner.
Not long after, Qing Ruo finally saw the crowd at the northern gate of the City.
" The "examination," his inner being, as he continued to move closer to the place calmly.
" You, follow the line on the left!" said the soldier who did the check spoke to him harshly.
" Good sir.." while closing himself in on the left row.
" Sister, where have you been?" asked a young man who was in front of him kindly.
" Sister, before I went into hiding, hoping for this examination to be completed soon, it turns out that the matter has been so many people," Qing Ruo replied calmly.
" Sister, just calm down. As long as we are not from the Yin clan, then we are safe," the young man said kindly.
" Do you mean Brother?" qing Ruo asked in surprise and curiosity, as he had previously entered the city using the badge of the Yin Gan Clan.
" Do you really not know?" asked the young man in surprise.
" Sister if I know, why should I ask," Qing Ruo replied.
" Brother, currently prince Yin Zuo is looking for people from the Yin clan who are troubled with him within the clan," said the young man speaking via telepathy.
" So the sound of the battle in the center of the city earlier?"
" It was a battle of fellow members of the Yin Clan," the young man replied explaining.
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" Thank you brother" he said respectfully.
" It turned out that Yin Zuo had already started moving. And this was a good opportunity to kill him, but it would bring Gu Lu town into trouble. Besides, I also still don't know the background of the power he has." Satin, while watching the place closely.
All night the soldier who was at the Northern gate of the City did an examination, until the end of the turn the young man who was in front of Qing Ruo arrived.
" You!" said the soldier called the young man rudely, then did an examination.
" Using the badge of the Yin Clan, it was extremely unlikely. The badge of the Qing Clan and the badge of the Shenghuo clan moreover. There was no choice," her inner self, preparing to wait for the examination call.
Calmly, Qing Ruo then walked up to the soldier guarding the city gate.
" Do you want to get out of town?" With a full gaze.
" Right sir."
" Identity" he said firmly.
" Good sir." Then pointed at the white jade badge with the celestial purple bamboo emblem.
" Young master," said the soldier kneeling respectfully.
" Soldier, what's up?" asked a guarding general, moving towards Qing Ruo.
" General, he's the young master of Shen Guoshi Xiong Mao" said the soldier, speaking via telepathy.
" Young master," said the General, cupping his hands respectfully.
" General, I want to get out of town to continue the journey," Qing Ruo said kindly.
" Ba-good young master...." Nervously.
" Thank you," Qing Ruo said as she cupped her hands respectfully, then left the place leisurely.
The general could only let out a long sigh, hoping that Qing Ruo would leave the place immediately, while the soldier who had previously kneeled was still silent in place without moving a single bit.
" Soldier, wake up. He's gone" he said, surprising the soldier.
" Thank you, general." Still with an irregular heartbeat. Recalling his act of being so rude to Qing Ruo earlier, it almost made the soldier slap his own face.
" If that city gate was a deserted place, maybe I'd already done it..." He lamented his stupidity.
" Swhuss...." Lu Dan and Xui Long who were assigned to protect Qing Ruo appeared at that place.
" Brother Xui Yen, what happened?" ask Xui Long.
" Suadara, the previous young man was the young master of the Dark Forest," Xui Yen replied in seriousness, making Lu Dan and Xui Long seem so shocked.
" Have you confirmed it?" ask Lu Dan.
" It's the general. I'm sure of what I saw" he replied seriously.
Lu Dan and Xui Long fell silent and looked at each other.
" This is not true. Brother, I will meet Yuan Liu's daughter, and you two, follow the young master," Xui Long said and hurried away.
After Xui Long left, Xui Yen and Lu Dan also directly moved away from the place.
****
Somewhere else.
Qing Ruo continued to move away from the northern gate of Gu Lu City, moving towards the western area of the city, to meet Mayi Xian and Mayi Cao who were at that place.
" May this clan badge bring no trouble," his inner self, then stored the badge into his storage ring.

In a simple shop.
Yuan Liu sat in his place with a look of laughter, enjoying the drink given by Qing Ruo earlier with an erratic feeling.
Sometimes he just kept breathing long.
" Why should the Qing clan." he said slowly.
" Daughter, are you inside." Xui Long's voice startled her daydream.
" General, come in." sipping a drink.
" Good princess..." Then entered the tavern with the door closed tightly in wonder.
" General Xui Long, what's wrong?"
" Daughter, something is not right with young master Qing Ruo," Xui Long began his report.
" What does the general mean?" With a sharp look.
" Daughter, at the time at the city gate, young master Qing Ruo turned out to be using Shen Guoshi Xiong Mao's identity."
" Really?"
" Right princess, but this was more than that, the badge she displayed was a white jade badge with a purple sky bamboo emblem."
" What! Then where is he now?"
" It's gone, princess. But I have already asked General Xui Yen and General Lu Dan to follow him.
" I'll go look for him too."
" But, princess...."
" Move," he said firmly as he hurriedly left the place.
" Good princess.." said Xui Long respectfully then moved following Yuan Liu.
