THE VALLEY OF HELL
Chapter 26. The Liu Family Residence

Upon entering Guancheng City, Sung Yunzhi immediately informed Liu Ruyan that he was going down to look for lodging.

But his actions were refuted by Liu Ruyan, because according to him Sung Yunzhi just rested in his residence.

"Miss Liu, what about master Zhao Yun?" Sung Yunzhi asked Liu Ruyan.

"She will also be my guest." Liu Ruyan replied.

"Broker Chuo Ran! Is the man who helped this lady still with our entourage?" Ask Liu Ruyan.

"Yes miss! He's running after us from behind." Chuo Ran replied.

"Ohh, then please convey my message to him to stay with us, because I invited him to our residence." Liu Ruyan said.

"Yes!" Reply to the man and immediately leave to convey Liu Ruyan's message.

"Master! You invited our lady to go to Liu's noble family residence." Chuo Ran said.

"Master! How could your non-you invite a man who looks like this?" Reply Fan Tian.

"Sorry sir! I don't know about it, the most important thing is that you're invited by our lady."

"Alright, tell him that I accepted the invitation." Said Fan Tian who was running.

Chuo Ran immediately conveyed what Fan Tian had told him.

After being notified by Chuo Ran, Liu Ruyan immediately smiled happily.

Sung Yunzhi who was looking at the behavior of the woman sitting in front of him was curious about what Liu Ruyan was thinking so that he made her smile.

"It seems that miss Liu Ruyan liked Zhao Yun after seeing her good looks..."

"But how could he like such a poor young man as Zhao Yun? What else with her appearance that did not look as attractive as that!?"

Sung Yunzhi continued to think about Liu Ruyan's attitude which in the end he felt like he did not want to smooth over the plans of the noble daughter.

"Miss Liu, please forgive me for not being able to come with you, because I currently feel that my strength has recovered as before" Sung Yunzhi said.

"Especially at this time, I will also go to look for the whereabouts of my fellow students who are most likely already in this city."

"Look, how about Miss Sung Yunzhi just stop by for tea with me? Think of it as a sign that we're friends."

"Alright, I don't want to always keep Miss Liu Ruyan busy.in my opinion, the help of the lady who has given me a ride at this time has been very troublesome."

"Miss Sung doesn't have to say that, because as a friend, we should help each other."

"But we just got to know each other, how could Miss Liu Ruyan think of me as a friend? I'm afraid that one day Miss Liu will be disappointed to be friends with me."

"I'm pretty sure, if I'm friends with Miss Sung Yunzhi, I will definitely benefit, because I really like the attitude of Miss Sung Yunzhi who doesn't look like another female swordsman."

"Miss Liu Ruyan praised me too much! Thanks for your compliment!" Sung Yunzhi said as he saluted Liu Ruyan.

"Miss Sung Yunzhi doesn't need to be so formal, I feel bad about accepting it." Liu Ruyan responded while holding onto Sung Yunzhi's two hands as a gesture for him not to do so.

Finally their entourage arrived at the Liu noble family residence and was immediately greeted by the servants.

"Miss Sung, we've arrived, come stop by to enjoy tea with me." Take Liu Ruyan.

The two of them immediately got off the horse carriage and walked into Liu Ruyan's residence.

Before that, Liu Ruyan had told Chuo Ran to deliver Fan Tian to her residence as well.

"Miss Liu, please come in!"

"Please sit!"

"Thank you Miss Liu!"

"Miss Liu! Master Zhao Yun has arrived!" Chuo Ran Excited.

"Send him in!" Reply Liu Ruyan.

"Good!" Chuo Ran immediately left to let Fan Tian in.

"Mr Zhao Yun, our lady told you to come in."

"Good! Thank you sir for your service!" Fan Tian said while saluting.

Fan Tian immediately entered Liu Ruyan's residence and was immediately greeted by the woman.

"Master Zhao Yun, please sit down!"

"Thank you Miss Liu! But as a notice, I won't linger here, because I have a very important goal as well!" Fan Tian said.

The young man immediately sat down and stared at Sung Yunzhi.

"Miss, are you feeling better?"

Sung Yunzhi nodded his head to answer Fan Tian's question.

Liu Ruyan who was still curious about Fan Tian's face timidly said.

"Ohh, yes! That's okay!" Reply to Fan Tian with an awkward feeling while opening the caping he was wearing.

His good looks were immediately visible to the two beautiful women.

"It turns out he's really good-looking if he doesn't use that head covering." Think Sung Yunzhi.

The same thing was thought of by Liu Ruyan.

"Come on! Please enjoy the tea." Liu Ruyan's.

They talked while glancing at each other.

Fan Tian felt extremely uneasy as he sat down together with the two women who continued to pay attention to him.

As the night grew late, Liu Ruyan immediately said.

"Miss Sung! Master Zhao! You two better get some rest here tonight before you go on your way... How's it?"

The two of them were like gaining command, staring at each other and simultaneously nodding their heads to agree to Liu Ruyan's suggestion.

Liu Ruyan immediately told her servant to prepare a room for the two.

That night Fan Tian and Sung Yunzhi rested in the Liu family residence.

Sung Yunzhi could not sleep thinking about Chen Zhu's safety and immediately came out of his room to head to one of the gazebos in the middle of the garden.

The moon still emits its light even though its shape no longer looks as intact as the previous night, adding to the beauty of the flower garden in that place.

The same thing was done by Fan Tian.

He stares at the gazebo and sees the figure of the woman still wearing her robe to get warm on that cold night.

"It looks like it's Miss Sung. I'd better go to get to her." Mumbled Fan Tian who already knew Sung Yunzhi's name while enjoying tea together.

"Miss Sung, why haven't you rested yet?" Fan Tian asked after arriving at the gazebo.

"Ehhh, Mr. Zhao..why haven't you rested yet?" Sung Yunzhi replied with a smile welcoming Fan Tian's arrival.

"I can't sleep." Fan Tian replied.

"What about Miss Sung?" Fan Tian asked back.

"I'm thinking about the safety of my fellow students as well as an elder who took us both."

"Was you trying to escape, they were also fighting other robbers?"

"Yes! That's what makes me feel like I'm not worried about their safety."

"If so, how about tomorrow I accompany you to go look for that fellow disciple and elder!?" Fan Tian made an offer to help Sung Yunzhi.

"Wouldn't that trouble you?" Ask Sung Yunzhi.

"Ahh, no! It's not troublesome for me... Moreover, I also intend to root out the group of robbers."

"All right! Thank you for being happy to help me."

"Miss Sung need not thank me, for we should have eradicated the robbers, for they had committed crimes almost throughout this county of Zhong Country."

"Keep, what about master Zhao's goal? Will it not be delayed for helping me?"

"No, actually that's just my excuse, because I don't feel comfortable being in this grand residence." Fan Tian replied as he scratched his non-itchy head and smiled shyly.

Sung Yunzhi smiled after hearing Fan Tian's silly reply.

Both of them also looked very familiar after the conversation that night until they both returned to their respective rooms.

***

At the inn where the nobles of Bian Que and Chen Song and Chen Zhu were resting, there were several figures dressed in all-black clothes looking for something.

And the figure in black clothes was also scattered on the roof of another building adjacent to the inn.

Chen Song and Chen Zhu who were meditating to be able to restore their strength, could tell the movements of the group.

"It seems that something is wrong with the movement of some of these figures..are they looking for our existence?" Thought Chen Song.

It was the same as what Chen Zhu had thought.

The two of them immediately stopped their meditation and immediately got up.

"Did you also know the movements of some of those figures?" Ask Chen Zhu.

"Yes! We have to go to Mr. Bian Que's room to protect him." Reply Chen Song.

Chen Zhu nodded his head approving of what his adoptive father had said.
