The guard, Gal-Dong stood at the gate, watching every individual with a stern look as the inspector process their identity and take the entrance fees.
At this moment, he saw the short Yu Yan who was poor-looking walking toward him.
The distance was quite short, so it didn't take long for Yu Yan to stand in front of Gal-Dong.
"Kid, go wait in the line." He coldly said.
This sort of scene was quite common, people who tried to skip through the long line by walking up to him and offer benefits are numerous.
But Yu Yan wasn't particularly paying attention to Gal-Dong right now, he was focusing on the tag dangling on his waist instead, feeling that it was definitely similar to the Heavenly Emblem!
Seeing that Yu Yan wasn't listening to him, he took a step forward.
However, before he could say another word, Yu Yan raised his head and looked at Gal-Dong's face.
Then, reached into his inside pocket, this caused Gal-Dong to take a step back and reach for the hilt of his sword!
"What are you doing?" He asked, narrowing his eyes straight at Yu Yan's hand which was hidden inside his pocket.
Although it seems like Yu Yan was making a commotion, the rest of the crowd couldn't see what Yu Yan was doing since his back was turned.
All they could see is Yu Yan facing Gal-Dong, who had his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Finally, Yu Yan took out the emblem from his pocket, and briefly flashed it toward Gal-Dong.
"Y-You!" He stammered, pointing his finger at Yu Yan's emblem.
As a cultist of the heavenly demonic cult, his heart worship the heavenly leader and heavenly flame!
The heavenly emblem in Yu Yan's hand isn't just a high-quality crafted item, but it also contains a hint of heavenly flame that only the heavenly leader can imbued!
This is also one of the reason why it's extremely difficult to replicate the heavenly emblem, even by doing so, it is not worth being chased by the cultist of the heavenly demonic cult!
Yu Yan saw Gal-Dong's reaction which pretty much confirms his suspicion.
So, he tuck the emblem back into his pocket, and indifferently stare at Gal-Dong, letting out his past temperament took over.
In Gal-Dong's eyes, what he saw wasn't a poor boy whose clothes were ragged, but rather, a hidden figure that hold secrets he could not dare to pry into!
"Honorable guest, I apologize for my disrespectful behavior!" He whispered, afraid of attracting attention.
At the same time, he was startled.
The holder of the heavenly emblem is not someone he can afford to offend, let alone questioned.
"Please, follow me." He politely said, lowering his head and opening his right arm to welcome Yu Yan into the gate.
Yu Yan nodded and walked forward, ignoring the middle-aged man and Don-An who were frozen by the guard's politeness.
"Who is that kid?" Don-An asked, unable to believe that Yu Yan was permitted entry, not to mention Gal-dong's behavior toward him.
"Sir, if you need something, please ask for me, Gal-Dong, I will be at your service!" He said after walking away from the crowd with Yu Yan.
"Actually, I want to know who gave me this emblem."
"This..." Gal-Dong hesitate.
'He doesn't know who gave him the emblem? Is the heavenly leader in disguised when he gave this young man the emblem?' As much as he wanted to know why Yu Yan bestowed the emblem, he didn't dare to question the heavenly leader's decision.
Therefore, facing Yu Yan confusion and doubts, he briefly explained," Let's find a room in this inn, certain things cannot be mentioned in the public."
At the same time, they happened to stop in front of a small inn bustling with travelers and merchant alike, even seeing some martial artist drinking and eating.
"Welcome in! Would you like to rent a room?" The clerk asked, waving his hand toward Gal-Dong and Yu Yan who just stepped into the inn.
"Second floor, here's the payment." He briefly stated, before tossing a gold coin at the clerk desk.
"Yes sir, please, here is your tag for the first room on the second floor."
Gal-Dong took the tag with the room number engraved in it and led Yu Yan upstairs from the prying eyes of merchants and martial artist who were eyeing them with scrutiny.
