[[ Ding !!! ]]

[[ Destination Reached ]]

[[ Ru nan City ]]

Mo Xiao Qi

" So this is Ru Nan ."

Xi an

" After all these years , I'd never thought that I'd return here ."

Ae Ri

" Oh , have you been here before Xi an ?"

Xi an

" Yes , but it was a long time ago ."

Mo Xiao Qi

" Wow , this place is even bigger than I had imagined ."

Qiu Jin Wei

" Is this your first time traveling to a different City Xiao Qi ?"

Mo Xiao Qi

" Yes , I've actually had never been to another City before ! "

" I've been mostly cooped up in my home for forever now !"

" I'm so excited to see something new , to travel to all sorts of different places !"

Ae Ri

" Slow down there , we're here to fight not to sight see ."

" Things are looking grim on the other side of those mountains ."

" Thousands of soldiers die fighting in the battlefield everyday ."

" One can never be sure when their time might come ."

" So it would be best if we kept our guard up ."

Mo Xiao Qi

" I know that ."

" But we don't have to be so serious all the time !"

" Since we're here anyway , why not enjoy it while we can ?"

" What do you think , Brother Jin ?"

[[ Option 1 : " Your right Xiao Qi , we should enjoy our live while we can , Ae Ri I know its though to let go of your serious nature and just enjoy the peaceful atmosphere while you can. its okay to let loose once in a while you know ." ( in a playful tone ) ]]

[[ Option 2 : " I agree with you Ae Ri , I think we should always be on guard in case something should happen to us ! I know its though to but the world is currently in a state of chaos , we should be preparing for what's to come !" ( In a serious tone ) ]]

[[ Option 3 : " .... ( stay silent ) ]]

[[ Option 4 : " These are though times for the people , as they have to witness the suffering of many , the lost of their loved ones and the fear of destruction brought upon by the monsters . However lets not forget that we must care for one another in this trying times and preserve through these troubled times . ( In a serious tone ) ]]

[[ Host please choose a dialogue option ]]

(" Hmmm ")

(" I choose the Fourth option .")

[[ Confirmed ]]

As time went on my words spread to the ears of everyone within the carriage not even the sounds of the wheels running over the rock and mud can drown out the words I choose . As I braced within my self to see their reaction , hoping that what I said wasn't as embarrassing as I thought it would . They Cried out laughing their guts out .

Mo Xiao Qi

" Sorry brother Jin , I know your being serious is just that I can't hold my laughter any longer ."

" Im just hahahahaha , sorry ."

Ae Ri

" Sorry Sir but its just really amusing , you suddenly talking all serious throwing out a speech suddenly like that !"

Qiu Jin Wei

" Glad you guys are having fun at least ."

Mo Xiao Qi

" Thank you , I was arguing to much with Ae Ri over nothing ."

" I'm sorry Ae Ri ."

Ae Ri

" I'm also sorry Xiao Qi , I hope you will forgive me for trying to ruin your enthusiasm ."

And with that they became ever more cheerful , they grew closer and closer as friends . After entering the City We went out together to explore the market stalls . Xiao Qi ran around all over the place with the other girls in tow , browsing several stalls . Despite being left to hold the stuff they bought , I still enjoyed the time we spent.

Xi an and Xue Bai went to the Military encampment just outside the City where the other Military personnel are gathered . They took time preparing the unit up to their full potential arming them to the teeth and building several defensive structures around the fields to prepare for the upcoming battle .

(" Lets see, I should prioritize mustering up our combined strengths for the battle at hand .")

(" On the other hand , I should improve myself more for the upcoming battle .")

(" Or I could use this chance to deepen my relationship with Xiao Qi and the others . " )

(" I wonder what I should do first ?")

(" However I hate loosing most of all , I should strive to improve my self first and foremost !")

Qiu Jin Wei

" Sure , why not ."

Xi an

" Alright lets go to the fields outside ."

Afterwards we both took our swords and walked out of the city towards an empty clearing for our spar / duel . Xi an is brimming with excitement , he had been looking forwards to this duel ever since we've first fought along side one another. Xi an had been the most outstanding swordsman , since he first entered the world .

He made his name know across several province as the Shadowless Swordsman. He has beaten many famous swordsman over the past few years , establishing himself as an undefeated swordsman. After a few years of roaming around , moving from one place to another to fell another foe.

He decided to join in on the war between the Warlords . He thought that by joining the army he would encounter many more powerful swordsmen for him to challenge. In the end he ended up enlisting for the Wei army at the same time I did . He showed his skills during training matches, showing of his skills.

But he always fell short against me in many ways . He thought to himself that , he only lost in fields that are not his forte , thus he never acknowledged me as superior. That is until the Battle against Chen Gong , for the first time he felt outmatched against an overwhelming force .

When I came to his rescue , he started to doubt his capabilities . Since I could do what he could not, then time and time again I had proven myself on the field of battle against numerous enemies , and survived time and time again despite the odds. Thus Xi an decided that I was a person worthy of his respect.

Xi an

(" The time has come , I've been waiting for this since forever now .")

(" I'm so excited !!!" )

(" I know how strong Jin is after observing him up close during battle .")

(" But I've never actually felt how strong his swordsmanship really is .")

(" Maybe I've finally found my match !" )

(" After all this years !" )

(" Hehehehehehehe .")

(" But then again , it will also be enjoyable to cut him up ! ")

(" I can't wait !")

(" I really want to cut him up so bad !!! " )

(" Calm down Xi an , we are almost there, don't let your expression give you away just yet .")

Xi an glares intently at Jin as they make their way towards the clearing .
