At the Jasmine restaurant in the centre of the city of Clear Water.
Dai Yang sat near the balcony of the second floor facing out, his goal was to free his eyes to see anyone who passed by who knew he might see the sweet boy again. Pai enjoys the abundant food on the table, whether this is the fall of fortune or what but Pai doesn't care, he eats as much as he can today with gusto.
Dai Yang took a deep breath.
He regretted taking Pai along and because he wasn't free to do anything he want, next time he'd go alone.
The young king straightened his seat when he saw a group of young people riding horses appear from the corner, who knows the person he was looking for appeared. But no, he sat back down when he didn't find him. Only a group of young people who seemed to be students came to enter the restaurant.
"Customers, please come in!" shout the waiter
Pai turned his head when he saw the King busy looking around. Actually, he didn't know what made the King suddenly act strange but he didn't want to think about it. As long as he could enjoy a free meal and didn't have to patrol the forest tonight he would just follow anything he want.
From the end of the road, there's a group of horses that A Ning and A Mo ride, the younger brother is actually A Ning's personal servant who always follows him everywhere. In the small, sturdy carriage where Er Yuen and Mei Lan sit inside, Er Yuen pokes his head out of the window carriage saw a Ning who was walking leisurely with his horse right beside his carriage.
"Em brother, that restaurant is delicious, I like the appetizers, let's go there," said Er Yuen.
Aning glanced at a large restaurant, the Jasmine restaurant, which was indeed crowded with newcomers.
"Come on brother, today I will treat you everything you like"
Mei Lan took her head out too.
"Brother I want to buy clothes! Do you want to buy it for me?"
A Ning chuckled at the sight of Mei Lan's sweet face smiling sulkily.
"Hehehe, Yes dear sister, we'll go for shopping later."
Mei Lan squeaked.
"Hehehe cool"
.....
The sun is slowly heading to the western horizon, the sunny day will pass quickly.
It doesn't feel like Dai Yang has been out of the palace all day and he is sitting in the restaurant. Ordered s lots of food for Pai who has eaten so much but he hasn't seen the sweet figure he is looking for.
A while ago Dai Yang dropped the jade ring he had been staring at so long that he had to duck under the table to pick it up. That's when Er Yuen and others entered the restaurant so he missed it.
Er Yuen and the others sat downstairs in the somewhat interior of the restaurant. While Dai Yang who had just come down from upstairs looked around but his vision was blocked by the waiter standing in front of Er Yuen.
"This one is two, then erm" Mei Lan who ordered food while A Ning was busy tidying Er Yuen's hair. As if he didn't care about anything more important than just sitting with Er Yuen.
"Hehe, look at your hair so messy, are you feeling alright?"
Er Yuen didn't push A Ning's hand away. He gets used to the touch, they've known it since they were little so A Ning is like an older brother who always takes care of him all the time.
At the door of the restaurant, Pai finished paying for their meal and returned to the King.
"My king, shall we go back now?"
Dai Yang raised his hand, his wide sleeves fluttering in the wind as he passed. Beautiful clothes a handsome face, and a heavy money bag. He was truly a young master's figure that caught everyone's attention. Some young women sitting next by the door couldn't stop glancing at him.
"He's so handsome, isn't he?
"Yes, where does he come from?"
The young ladies whispered, but Dai Yang who was followed by Pai just looked away without much care.
...…
Golden Cloud College the next afternoon.
Dai Yang sat in his oversized chair receiving a report from his subordinates about last month's theft in the warehouse and they had caught the thief.
Two men who were already battered were beaten by Pai and his men.
Dai Yang was actually a bit annoyed that he responded to the report half-heartedly, he was just about to leave that morning but there was a problem that stopped him.
Not to mention old man Huang who reported the results of the household reports. From paying the monthly salaries of the servants to training new members, this would all take a whole day.
Pai finished reporting, he bowed his head to Dai Yang.
"King! What should we do with them? We await the King's orders!"
Dai Yang turned his head, he almost fell asleep from boredom, he glanced at old man Huang, and shook his head.
The old man pursed his lips, why should he think about it, he glanced again at the King talking through their eyes.
Dai Yang held his breath in annoyance.
"Hemh, there"
Huang Bai waved his hand, then pretended not to see the young King, ignoring him.
"Ich this old man"
Dai Yang glanced at the two people who were already kneeling with badly battered faces.
"Forgive us, King, please have mercy on us"
Dai Yang massaged his head, he wasn't focused today feeling lazy to punish people, he waved his hand at Pai.
"Well do whatever you want, take them away I don't want to see their faces, heh just spoil the mood" Dai Yang grumbled.
Pai lowered his head again.
"Yes, my King! Let's quickly take them away!" Pai exclaimed to his men.
Huang Bai glanced at Dai Yang who looked annoyed, he was still holding the report in his hand and had to quickly give it away after this was over or the king would run away again, he was already prepared.
...…
He Tao saw Er Yuen's face grinding medicine in front of him.
The great teacher was always pacing in Elder Oei's hut and running away from his duties and now sitting leisurely enjoying the beans in the bowl in his hands. When he saw the young man's neck He Tao widened his eyes.
"Eh Yuen'er, where's the necklace you always wear?" Ask He Tao.
Er Yuen stopped his hand and touched his neck.
"It looks like I lose it somewhere days ago, Yuen'er already looks for it everywhere, but can't find it"
He Tao shifted his seat.
"You, that's a very important thing how did you lose it, do you remember where you last saw it?"
Er Yuen thought, frowned and thought.
"Em, Yuen'er thought that before Yuen'er took the medicine there was no longer there. The last time we went to the waterfall was still there and then... uh, that means it's possible to fall in the Sun Sparks waterfall, right?"
"Why did you get there? You guys had played so far, do you have to go to the Valley of the Clouds? Even though the place is not dangerous but I doesn't like you to play there, there is a Golden Cloud party that is famous for being cruel and likes to collect a lot of tribute"
Er Yuen widened his eyes.
"Really? Are they that dangerous?"
He Tao thought.
"Um, it's really dangerous, so I remind you not to go there. If you meet these people it will be bad luck. We come from a pure white college, while the Golden Cloud is a dark college, of course, it's contradictory"
Er Yuen continued to grind the medicinal leaves, The eccentric elder He Tao always likes to talk, according to his old teacher not all of his words are true, and cannot be trusted completely.
"But I think it's okay, as long as they are good to everyone else, the white or dark party it doesn't matter., aren't they?"
