THE SKY SWORDSMAN
Ch 15 - Meeting
The atmosphere in the middle room of the city hall became a reunion moment for Aron, Lee and Chairman Jo. Mr. Ligo chose his leave and left the room. While Dewi Rara looks confused to leave the room or keep accompanying her husband. He did not want to tell Chairman Jo about his identity in front of Jederal Lee. His instincts say that General Lee is a very dangerous and unbelievable person.
Dewi Rara then dissolved in her daydream. He recalled about the Celestial Sword, the Rainbow Sword Scriptures and the God Ring that he had hidden somewhere. He did not want the three Heavenly Heirlooms to be found by evil people who might destroy the earth if they had one.
Dewi Rara did not want to tell her identity to anyone else except Aron her husband and Chairman Jo whom she considered a good person. So he thought about telling Chairman Jo when no one else was with him.
Meanwhile, Chairman Jo looks with enthusiasm to talk about the development of Waterfall Island which has now begun to improve. The Gojo clan has succeeded in making the Waterfall Village a beautiful and prosperous village. Although the resources owned by Waterfall Island are very limited, but they are able to grow crops on land that is not too large with very satisfactory results. There are also fishermen and some are trading, although their trade is only between the residents of Waterfall Village.
“How about you Lee, what happened and where were the Gojo Clan warriors who went with you first?” asked Chairman Jo While looking at General Lee with a sharp look. He was not happy to see General Lee wearing an imperial uniform. The Gojo clan has long been closed off from politics. They prefer not to get involved in politics.
“Daddy, when I was with the Gojo Clan warriors on a mission from my father, we managed to tell the information related to the disaster to people in villages and cities located in the lowlands. But after a few full moon we spread the information, we were trapped in a village that had almost drowned,”, said General Lee while turning back his past memories.
General Lee recounted that when they were about to get out of the village, they were instead blocked by a huge wave of water that eventually submerged the village and everything in it. General Lee then summarized the story, that after a few days he was adrift carried by waves of water, he was stranded somewhere and helped by someone from the Mojo Clan.
“Klan Mojo is a clan that successfully took advantage of a natural disaster situation to establish an empire. Because they have helped me, so I am willing to work for them as a sign of gratitude,” General Lee said with a smile towards his father.
Chairman Jo who from the beginning listened to General Lee's story carefully, looks unhappy. He felt that there was something General Lee was hiding.
Seeing the expression on his father's face that looked unhappy listening to his story, General Lee then put on a lethargic and regretful face, “I have no other choice but to follow their will. Other than because I owe them a debt of gratitude, I also do not know what they will do to me if they refuse their wishes.”
Chairman Jo was again unhappy to hear General Lee's words. Thought glaring. He thought about what Lee, his son had done so that he could reach the position of a general in the Mojo Empire. According to him, Lee would not have been able to reach the position of general if he had never done anything extraordinary.
“Alright, now what are you two planning?” ask Chairman Jo firmly. He no longer adorns his lips with a smile. He even looked at the two children with a hostile look.
Chairman Jo's question instantly made the atmosphere seem awkward. Ron and General Lee knew very well what his father was thinking. They were both very confident that Chairman Jo would definitely want them to return to the Waterfall Village.
Everything's silent. Aron and General Lee looked at each other. Dewi Rara who sat beside Aron could understand the situation facing her husband, but she preferred to be quiet to avoid a debate with her father-in-law.
“Better dad just rest first! Later we discuss this issue,” said Aron trying to shift the topic of conversation.
“True, you have just traveled a long way and certainly very tiring.” Dewi Rara tries to help her husband.
Chairman Jo then turned his gaze to Dewi Rara who from earlier he did not care. His gaze was fixed on a veil that almost covered the entire face of Dewi Rara.
“Oya, Meet, I'm your daughter-in-law. I am the wife of Aron,”, said Dewi Rara while bowing in honor.
“Yes, Mr. Ligo has told me a lot about you,” Chairman Jo said with a warm smile to his son-in-law.
Dewi Rara then ordered her men to escort Chairman Jo and the people who came with her to the restroom.
“Then I also want to beg you to leave, I want to meet my squad members outside the gate. They have waited too long,”, said General Lee as he rose from his seat.
Aron and Dewi Rara no longer prevented General Lee from leaving the city hall's central hall.they understood the meaning of General Lee's words and the dangers of holding General Lee too long in the city.

General Lee darted quickly away from Turtle City on horseback. His mind is completely fucked. He was very unhappy to meet his father and brother.
“Dad and Aron will definitely hinder my ambitions. I should be able to get rid of them,” Gen Lee muttered inwardly.
A sneaky smile graced General Lee's lips. It flashed through his mind a planalic that he believed would make him more quickly reach his ambition to rule the Yellow Continent.

Meanwhile outside the Turtle City gate, General Moo had already ordered his troops to prepare to attack Turtle City.
“If in a while General Lee does not arrive, then we attack Turtle City!” general Moo shouted to all members of his army.
Moments later, when General Moo saw a horseman speeding towards him at high speed, the man was none other than General Lee.
In a very short time, General Lee arrived before General Moo.
“You must have been waiting a long time,” said General Lee who looks worried about something.
“What happened to General Lee?” ask General Moo. His instincts told him that something was not good that General Lee was facing.
“later I tell you. Now we find a great place to build camp!” general Lee replied succinctly.
"Teacher!" General Moo raised his hand forward as a sign that the entire army was moving away from the city gate.
The entire army then moved to leave the Turtle City Gate.
