The Ruler
271. The Yuan Shui 1.
After Yuan Liu and the General's work left, Yuan Shui was still silent in his place, trying to make sense of the barrage of events that had just passed.
" A naive girl, and a hot-tempered young man" he said softly, shaking his head, then looked at the clan patriarchs as well as the leaders of the secret organization that was inside the room with a sour face.
" Your highness, permission to speak," said a middle-aged man who was a clan patriarch.
" Patriarch Bei Xing, speak up," Yuan Liu said calmly.
" It's about young master Qing Ruo. I think what General Lu Dan said is true. We look too much at a principle, but forget the fact that we should have been able to break that rule, because our condition is not to make peace but to fight. Your Majesty, I think this is a good opportunity for us to discuss the future plan regarding our readiness to face the Yin clan which is increasing the pressure today."
" Does that mean the patriarch agrees if we cooperate with Qing Ruo who claims to be the young master of the dark forest?" ask Yuan Shui.
" From the start I did agree, even I didn't doubt it either" Bei Xing replied.
" Why could that be?"
" Among us, who has never heard the name Qing with his football, and a Jin Kong?" bei Xing asked with a serious face.
" Patriarch Bei Xing was right, only a fool would dare to use the name Qing in the area of the black ice gate even dare to claim to be the young master of the dark forest. Other than he already knew the risks, he would also not play around with his life. Moreover, Jin Kong who was already at the immortal level, would never be lenient to others, but not to this figure of Qing Ruo."a patriarch responded.
" Patriarch Nan Cheng is right. From his speech and attitude, it seemed that Jin Kong had great respect for this figure of Qing Ruo," Bei Xing said in a serious manner, leaving everyone in the room speechless.
" That means the patriarch is sure he is the young master of the dark forest and the Patriarch of the Jin clan is it?" Yuan Shui asked once again with a serious face.
" I'm so sure," Bei Xing replied in seriousness.
" What do the other patriarchs think?' ask Yuan Shui.
" Your Majesty, I do have no reason to be able to trust that figure, let alone with his help. For sure at this time, we already do not have time, let alone to prepare troops and so on. The Yin Clan is getting messed up, and we feel the impact. If we don't start from now on, we still have a little bit of strength to fight" another patriarch responded.
Yuan Shui was silent. Look at everyone in the room seriously.
" Does that mean we're ready for the risk?"
" Your Majesty, in the end we will still put up a fight" Bei Xing said.
" Are we going to work with the boy?" ask Yuan Shui.
" I don't think it's bad," Bei Xing replied, making the room go back into silence.
" But I don't like his attitude" another patriarch spoke.
" I like him instead. His actions teach us how to see things that are more central to an existing problem. In addition, his presence also teaches us to be able to judge and draw conclusions after we have clearly studied the matter, "Bei Xing said respectfully.
" Your Majesty, we really need his help" Nan Cheng said seriously.
" Why is that?"
" Because I'm sure, he's not bragging," he replied in seriousness, making the room go back into silence.
" If so, give me one reason why I should call him back and cooperate with them." Yuan Shui said seriously, it made everyone in the room feel astonished, because Yuan Shui so vehemently rejected Qing Ruo's existence.
" Your Majesty, Jin Kong's presence as an immortal figure, is our strongest support" Bei Xing said.
" That's something I'm so scared of. I don't want to get out of the crocodile's mouth, we enter the lion's mouth" he said seriously, leaving everyone in the room speechless.
Suddenly Bei Xing shook his head.
" Your Majesty, we are currently talking about opportunity and opportunity. Didn't we all hope that the lion can destroy the crocodile that has been oppressing us? After all if Jin Kong really wanted to do evil, wouldn't he have been able to do it from the beginning?"
" Patriarch Bei Xing is right," a patriarch responded, while talking about the matter continued seriously.
*****
Somewhere else.
" Young master, like they really won't call us." Jin Kong said.
Qing Ruo smiled casually.
" The Patriarch, with the situation they were in right now, it was difficult for them to cooperate with others. Moreover, your presence as an enemy of the Yin clan. I think maybe they are currently having a heated debate regarding your presence," Qing Ruo said as he continued to slowly step foot in.
" It's possible" said Jin Kong as he chatted casually.
At the moment of continuing to move away from that palace area, suddenly Qing Ruo and his entourage felt the presence of some aura moving closer to them.
" Ruler" said Mayi Xian and Mayi Cao.
" Be calm" Qing Ruo said asking them to remain relaxed.
Not long after, Yuan Liu, along with his trusted generals, arrived at that place.
" Young master, Patriarch." Yuan Liu said respectfully.
" Daughter, what's wrong?" qing Ruo asked.
" Young master, patriarch, I beg your forgiveness for the attitude of the clan leaders as well as father," he said about to kneel but was immediately stopped by Qing Ruo.
" Daughter, the two of us personally understand that, because it's not easy for them to trust others just like that, so be calm," Qing Ruo said kindly, making Yuan Liu and his entourage feel calm.
" Thank you, young master." Cupped his hands respectfully, while asking Qing Ruo and Jin Kong's plan.
" Daughter sir, we will continue on our way and leave this city," Qing Ruo replied.
" Both young master, but before that, you should both rest first," he said offering their secret headquarters outside the palace area.
" I think that's a good idea," Qing Ruo replied.
" Alright, let's master." said Yuan Liu, then brought Qing Ruo and his entourage to move away from the place.
By the time they were about to step foot out of the place, suddenly some aura moved closer to them quickly.
" Swhuss...." Five Yin clan disciples who were inside the palace area appeared in front of them.
" Jin Kong, it turns out that your guts are big too" said the figure with a cold gaze with a domineering attitude.
" Only the seventh level semi-eternal swordsman. You guys are really brave," Qing Ruo said as he unleashed the spell seal of Ling's sky disc formation that instantly sealed the area.
" You!" said the five figures involuntarily moving backwards, staring at Qing Ruo sharply.
" Mayi Xian, Mayi Cao," Qing Ruo said calmly asking the two servants to beat up the five figures.
" Both the ruler," replied Mayi Xian and Mayi Cao who instantly moved like flashes of light attacking the five young men.
" Dhuar.dhuar...." Loud explosions echoed through the area with the figures of the five Yin clan disciples being flung in various directions.
" Semi immortal level nine stage pinnacle," Lu Dan said speaking to Yuan Liu and his entourage through telepathy.
" Right, I had guessed before, because it was impossible for the dark forest lord to let their young master leave without an escort" Yuan Liu responded.
In a short period of time, those five Yin clan disciples were sprawled above the ground with a loss of cultivation.
" Akh.." he groaned with a body drenched in blood.
" Swhus...." Mayi Xian and Mayi Cao moved towards Qing Ruo and handed over the storage ring of the Yin clan disciples they had taken.
" Ruler," he said.
" Thank you," Qing Ruo said as she grabbed the storage ring.
