Yuen looked at his hand since earlier Dai Yang had always held it gently. He forgot what happened last night to be there, which he wasn't supposed to be there. Yuen was about to stand up from his seat but Dai Yang held him back.
"Hey, where are you going, just woke up from sleep, sit down for a moment, I'll ask the waiter to bring your breakfast, okay?"
Yuen looked around, it was a very beautiful and luxurious place, young master Yang was not an ordinary person, well of course, his clothes were always beautiful and looked expensive. With so many jade ornaments hangings, and jewels on his clothes, he was a young master from a very rich family. Yuen released Dai Yang's grip on his arm.
"No need, Brother, I'm not that hungry. I'd better go home immediately, Teacher will be worried if I'm not home yet, it's morning already." Yuen was about to stand up from his seat until the worms in his stomach betrayed him. The rumbling was so loud as if it was screaming that they were hungry.
Dai Yang lowered his head, and chuckled at Yuen Er's awkward face, realizing that he had lied.
"Hey, your worm says otherwise. Never mind, stay here, I'll ask the maid to deliver the food, and then after this, I'll take you home, okay?"
Yuen had no choice but to obey, yes, he was very hungry. Too hungry to feel it. He scratched his head.
"Hey, naughty worm. Em, Brother A NIng, and Mei Lan, where are they? Aren't they coming here too?" Yuen asked, after not seeing the two around him.
Dai Yang pursed his mouth.
"Um, they are, of course, at their respective homes, looks like your clanmate, what's his name, Bei Ning has a very important errand at his house, so he didn't come here, while the little girl.." Dai Yang remembered that yesterday the little girl was determined to chase him into the Cloud Valley forest, until finally, he managed to escape from her sight. She is a very enthusiastic girl, her lightning skill is quite great, and she is not afraid with her skill of martial arts chasing the King of the Valley.
"She might have also returned to the college by now."
Yuen frowned. He widened his eyes.
"Then why am I here? What happened last night, am I blacked out again?" Yuen asked, doubting his memory. He scratched his head, thinking hard.
Dai Yang smiled, he took Yuen's hand and held it gently, that smooth and soft hand, so small in his big palm. The difference in skin color between the two is very striking, Yuen's is smooth white while Dai Yang's is rather dark.
"No need to think about it, it's better to rest now, then I'll tell you more later, okay?"
Yuen complied as Dai Yang helped him lean back.
"Em, has something big happened? I haven't even said goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Bei yet, they might think I am rude."
Dai Yang smiled, he held Yuen's hand and secretly channeled inner energy through his palm. The internal force slowly made Yuen sleepy, his eyes heavy, and it was difficult to stay awake.
"Hoaa, I'm so sleepy"
And finally, leaning back, the young man fell asleep.
Dai Yang smiled, he stroked Yuen's hair gently.
"Sweet child, go back to sleep, you'll be here for a while, okay?" Dai Yang whispered, then got up and kissed Yuen on the forehead.
Dai Yang turned towards the door, just as he saw Pai enter. The man lowered his head in salute,
"Respect, my king, the advisor asked me to convey the message. He said that guests are waiting in the front hall. The king is expected to come soon," said the man. Dai Yang pursed his mouth. He was the King of the Valley, who would dare ask him to come when he didn't want to. Dai Yang gently lifted Yuen's body and lowered him to lie down again. Will let the child sleep for a while until the servant comes with breakfast for him. And he intended to enjoy the peaceful breakfast alone with him.
"I'm busy, Pai, can't the old man see that I have a more important guest?"
Pai glanced at the bed, although he couldn't see clearly who was lying on it, it was the kid he had brought last night from the Bei family's large residence.
"Please forgive me, my King, the advisor also said that this might be related to the King's current special guest."
Hearing that, Dai Yang turned around, looking at Pai with sharp eyes.
"What does that mean, related to Yen Yen? What did that old fart say to you?"
Pai only looked at his King for a moment, then lowered his head unable to answer.
Not long after, in the front hall of the Golden Cloud Palace which was located in a large cave, on the highest cliff at the front of the entire palace complex. A young man in a golden robe and a red velvet coat was already sitting on the chair for guests. His face was shining, with sharp eyes, he was not an unfamiliar face, level two palace guard Tan Lao. Queen Yue Luo's bodyguard. Dai Yang entered the hall, Huang Bai lowered his head to greet his King, not with the young guard from the palace who looked arrogant and was still enjoying his tea quietly.
"King"
Dai Yang looked at the young guard, from a glance at the clothes he was wearing it was obvious that he was an emissary from the Wen palace. Did the palace begin to interfere in the affairs of the martial world now? And the palace is just a puppet state run by brainless idiots who make the people happy because sweet words protect the people from chaos. Although all this time, the clans from the martial arts world were more involved in helping the people. Since defeating the last Emperor in a coup, Dai Yang saw no reason to support the dilapidated country. Then what is this idiot doing here and taking up his time?
"Just tell me what are you doing by coming here? I still have a lot of things to do." Dai Yang didn't want to mince words, he went straight to the point as soon as he sat in his big chair.
The young palace guard Tan Lao smiled. He placed his cup on its saucer. Looking at Dai Yang who was not looking at him. It was said that the King of Golden Cloud Valley was indeed very stubborn, but he didn't expect him to be so young. He was probably much younger than him, he thought.
"Hey, forgive my impudence here, King, but I sent a letter a few days ago and your advisor said that I could come today. I apologize for taking up your valuable time"
Dai Yang pulled his lips. He glanced at Huang Bai who almost choked on his tea because of the look in his King's eyes that seemed to be scolding him very harshly.
"Ahem"
"Then, what do you want? Strangely, the palace is suddenly interested in coming to a valley that according to the martial world is the black clan, aren't you afraid that people will think that the palace is starting to side with the black clan?"
Hearing that, Tan Lau smiled, he was just about to answer when Dai Yang continued his words.
"Oh, I forgot, the martial world doesn't care at all what the palace does, you guys, are invisible, in other words, meaningless."
Dai Yang's words made Tan Lao, who had been trying to stop himself from smiling, finally look at Dai Yang with sharp eyes. His smile changed.
"You"
This time it was Dai Yang's turn to smile.
"Hey, that's right. So, I will not serve insignificant people like you." He stood up from his seat, taking a sharp look at his advisor.
"Don't bother me with unimportant things like this, old man, you know what I think about other people who think they are stronger than us. Who do they think they are?"
Dai Yang was about to step away until the young guard's voice stopped him.
"I heard that you are running out of opponents in the martial arts world. You must have heard of the great name of the Iron Elder, who since dozens of years ago was locked in a cave with sky chains, by the previous Emperor."
The young guard's words aroused Dai Yang's curiosity, he stopped in his tracks. He turned his head and looked at the young guard for a long time.
"What do I have to do with that useless man?"
Tan Lao smiled. He stood up from his seat and approached Dai Yang.
"The Iron Elder once held the position of ruler of the martial world. He was so great, that all the warriors were defeated without mercy. He is called the Iron Elder because his bones are like iron. Strong and invincible, he does not need any weapons to face his opponents. .."
