The Ruler

The Ruler
285. Yin Sky Mountain.


Above the sky peak of Dong Yin. Behind the illusion shield, Yin Kun and Yin Lun continued to watch Qing Ruo's movements calmly.


" There have been no suspicious signs so far, the confusion is clear, as things have changed a lot during his departure" Yin Lun said.


" Suadara was right, coming back after leaving for quite a long time, did make the situation a little awkward," Yin Lun responded as she continued to watch over Qing Ruo who seemed to be keeping a close eye.

In the courtyard of the mission hall.


Qing Ruo continued walking, following the two disciples who led him towards the Yin Rongyou residence quietly. While following the two disciples, Qing Ruo also observed every place he passed by carefully.


" A lot of things have changed," Qing Ruo said softly as she shook her head.


" Right senior," said one of the students in response.


" Seniors will have plenty of time, so seniors can learn the situation," another student spoke. 


Qing Ruo nodded her head.


After exiting the area of the mission hall, the two disciples then brought Qing Ruo to move towards the eastern region of the mountain.


" Senior, for the residence of the disciples, had now been divided into four places, their first outer disciples were all placed under the mountain slope, then their inner disciples were in places in the higher regions of the outer disciples, but the two levels did not have access in this peak region at all. Then the elite disciples, including us - we got a place in the eastern part of the mountain, and the core disciples of the elders were placed in the western area" said the student explained.


" This is very strange," Qing Ruo said softly.


" Senior mean?" ask the student calmly.


" This place is nothing like a sect," Qing Ruo replied.


" Right," said the student. 


The real Qing Ruo who was so curious about it could only nod her head. Moreover, the status of Yin Gan who was previously a low-level elder, had now become an elite army.


Not long after, they finally entered the residence area of the elite disciples.


" It's huge" Qing Ruo said.


" Right senior, this is because all the elite forces are in one place. On the right is the residence of the male students, then on the left of the female student residence," the student explained.


" This place has completely changed," Qing Ruo said as she listened to the explanations of the two disciples while relating them to the knowledge of Yin Gan.


While chatting casually, they finally arrived at a gate marked with gold inscriptions.


" Senior, we have arrived. This is senior Rongyou's home," said the disciple welcoming Qing Ruo respectfully.


" Thank you," Qing Ruo said respectfully as she stared at the Clan emblem of the golden-colored Black Ice Trident that was at the gate of the residence. 


Looking at the confused-looking Qing Ruo, the disciple then explained the meaning of the emblem.


" Senior, the elite forces are divided into three levels. Starting from the highest, gold elite disciples, silver elite disciples and bronze elite disciples. Any elite disciple should not enter the residence of another disciple without his permission and the rules are clear, if there is a violation, then the punishment is to lose one level of cultivation" the disciple explained.


" Well, I get it. Then what about junior Fan Mu, do you guys know them?"


" Brother Fan Mu is at the golden disciple level, his residence is at the right, and marked with a gate written in his name," the disciple replied kindly.


" Alright," Qing Ruo said.


" Senior, if so we leave," said the two disciples respectfully.


" Alright, sorry to have been troublesome," Qing Ruo said as she gave a storage ring containing each of the three bottles of crystal grass wine.


" Senior this....." With a doubtful face.


" I don't have any valuables, at least this can accompany you guys who are on guard," Qing Ruo said kindly.


" Thank you senior," as he grabbed the ring and kept it.


After the two disciples left, Qing Ruo then opened the gate of the Yin Rongyou residence, then entered it quietly.


In that fancy yard.  Qing Ruo then sat down on the garden chair while stretching her body. Although he had obtained permission to stay in the place but without the presence of the owner made him feel uncomfortable.


" A Clan that is now a sect, is truly a tremendous change," his inner self as he inspected the place.


" It turns out that someone is watching my movements, "his mind.


After thinking for quite a while, Qing Ruo then took a sitting stance and cultivated in that place quietly


Above the sky.


Yin Kun and Yin Lun who were watching Qing Ruo's movements could only shake her head.


" You see, he's still keeping his attitude" Yin Kun said.


" Brother is right, if he was another disciple, he might have entered the room already" Yin Lun responded.


Until the early morning, Qing Ruo still did not budge from her place, making Yin Kun and Yin Lun start to get bored.


" Brother, are we going to keep an eye on him?" ask Yin Kun.


" We should leave this task to our students alone" replied Yin Lun.


" Brother is right, because there is no way that we will continue to watch over him" said Yin Kun, then called his disciple .


Not long after, two figures appeared in that place.


" Guru," he said greeting Yin Kun and Yin Lun respectfully.


" Xu Mubai, Ding Dugong, keep an eye on Yin Gan. If there is anything suspicious, let us know immediately" said Yin Kun.


" Good teacher," Xu Mubai and Ding Dugong said respectfully.


After giving direction to his two disciples, Yin Kun and Yin Lun then moved away from the place.


" Brother, why did teacher ask us to keep an eye on senior Yin Gan?" Ding Dugong asked curiously.


" Sister, I don't know either," Xu Mubai replied as he watched Qing Ruo closely.

Yin Rongyou's Garden.


Without feeling it, time passed quickly.


At the moment when the day had truly been light, Qing Ruo who was cultivating in the place was startled by the arrival of Yin Rongyou.


The beautiful girl looked at Qing Ruo in surprise.


"What did brother do? Was.." he hesitantly looked at Qing Ruo with a disappointed look.


Qing Ruo who understood Yin Rongyou's intent relaxed.


" Sister, I love a place like this. In addition to the pleasant air, I also feel more comfortable when I am in an open space," Qing Ruo explained.


Yin Rongyou who was trying to understand Qing Ruo's explanation nodded his head.


" I'm sorry to have gotten so bad" he said, taking Qing Ruo to his residence.


Quietly Qing Ruo then followed the figure.


" Brother Yin Gan, there are still two other empty rooms in this place, so please stay," he said explaining the place as he led Qing Ruo to his room.


Not long after that they finally arrived at the room in question.


"  Sister please rest, I will prepare a meal," he said, allowing Qing Ruo to occupy the very well-maintained room.


" Thank you sister, sorry to have been troublesome," Qing Ruo said lowering her voice.


" Brother, don't be too shy. Calm down, I also feel untroubled," he said with a sincere smile.


" Thank you, sister." with a respectful attitude.


" All right, I'll go first" he said respectfully and left the place.


After Yin Rongyou left, Qing Ruo then entered his room.
