Inside the Carriage,
'Anyway can you get in the Martial Library Tower Xiao Xun?' asked Yao Zhu with his Jade communication token.
'There's no problem for me to go inside secretly Young Master but that one-armed person will be difficult to deal with' said Xiao Xun after checking the Martial Library Tower with her Spiritual Qi (Mental Power).
'Well, I already know about his character, that old man is an alert person if my guess is correct he should have already raised the level of the Defense Array that protects the Martial Library Tower'
'But what about the seventh floor Xiao Xun, have you found anything there?' asked Yao Zhu thinking his Appraisal skill didn't work on the Seventh floor, while glancing at the distant Grand Palace out of the window.
'No Young master, I didn't find anything but it's just an empty space' said Xiao Xun with confusion who already checked twice with her Spiritual Qi to confirm whether the seventh floor was empty.
'So even a Divine Transformation Qi Master is not able to see through the seventh floor, this Ye Clan is not as simple as it seems when I went to my home I needed to ask my grandfather about the Ye Clan' thought Yao Zhu thinking deeply as he knew that protagonist family would never be simple as there would be a freaking powerful backstory in the past.
'Alright, but I need a rusty sword in Ye Heng's Antique room, I wanted to ask Ye Heng but he already gave me a painting free so I can't ask him directly' said Yao Zhu, getting up from his seat and Han Luan Er opened the door for him.
'Ok master' said Xiao Xun as Yao Zhu cut the communication with Xiao Xun.
"Welcome young master Zhu" respectfully welcomed Han Luan Er with a bow.
"Is everything ready Luan Er?" asked Yao Zhu while going inside the Grand Palace.
"Yes Young master, all the things required for the travel were packed and if you are ready, the carriage is also ready to go to the Flying Boat station," said Han Luan Er walking behind Yao Zhu who was going to his study room.
"Okay, and Luan Er call Lingshu to my study room, by the way, have you practiced sword training today?" Yao Zhu turned his head back as Han Luan Er had a silly smile on her innocent beautiful face.
"Go and finish your training after completing your order," said Yao Zhu with a sharp gaze on Luan Er who had shrunk her head with fear and run away from Yao Zhu after bowing her head.
'God, with her age, she needed to tell me to discipline, but here, the roles are reversed,' thought Yao Zhu with a sigh, sitting on the study chair and taking out the painting from his dimension ring.
Yao Zhu glanced at the Tyrant Peak Painting, it was a simple black ink painting of a rocky peak, and every stroke of the brush was precise with an intent to express the Body Qi master's technique.
'I can't see any words, or figures other than the mountain and clouds then how can I able to decode this' thought Yao Zhu gazing at the painting intensely to search for any clues.
"Knock!~Knock!"
"Come in"
"Hello Young Master Zhu, how was your experience in the Martial Library Tower" said Chu Lingshu, coming inside the Study room after Yao Zhu gave her permission to enter.
"It's decent enough, Ling Shu, but I am slightly happy that I got my hands on this beautiful painting given by Lord Ye Heng," said Yao Zhu with a smile. Chu Lingshu looked shocked after she heard that Ye Heng, who was always crazy about antiques, had given an antique painting from his collection.
"That's shocking, Young Master. Even to my father, Lord Ye Heng never compromised to give away any of his antiques, but how in the world did Young Master Zhu do to Lord Ye Heng give this painting for free?" said Chu Lingshu, as she strode to the sofa and sat down. Yao Zhu sat on her soft lap, feeling the relaxation when he leaned back to her bosom.
"And Young master, when will we set our travel?" Chu Lingshu asked eagerly. After all, it's been a long time she traveled around the War God Kingdom snice in her early marriage days with Ye Chuang.
'I am missing Head maid Li, half of the War God Kingdom we both traveled together because in middle Ye Chuang left me alone' thought Chu Lingshu as her face became dull recollected her miserable marriage life.
"Kya~" moaned Chu Lingshu when Yao Zhu pinched her breast on her light blue tempting robe when he noticed her dull countenance.
"Don't put that face Lingshu I hate that" said Yao Zhu with a frown, Lingshu nodded her face in a glowing mood change and Yao Zhu chuckled again leaning on her bosom and feeling the softness.
"We will go by mid-day and... it's ok no need to call that sly fox," said Yao Zhu while shaking his head, Chu Lingshu had a smile on her seductive face but knowing Rui Yi Meng's character that girl would definitely visit when they will set out on their travel.
"And Lingshu, when you will improve your Qi cultivation realm?" asked Yao Zhu while looking at the painting.
"Young master..." murmured Chu Lingshu feeling hesitation to answer, certainly she had said that she only focused on herself and her dear son but in the end, her will to cultivate had already died out by the divorce.
"Lingshu, within these two years at least you should reach a Nascent soul realm, or else your friend from Ice Cloud Palace should reach the Nascent Soul realm first," said Yao Zhu while he closed the box that contained the Tyrant Peak painting and stored it in his Dimension ring.
"Ok, Young master?" said Chu Lingshu with a pouting face and nodded her head.
'Can't wait to see the places in the War God Kingdom' thought Yao Zhu while closing his eyes as he was waiting for his guard Xaio Xun to bring that rusty sword from the Martial Library Tower.
....
"Never thought the manager of the Golden Rui Auction House, could come to escort me or else I should called the one and only little Princess of the Rui Nation?" said Yao Zhu gazing at the blonde enchanting figure giggling at Yao Zhu.
"How should I not escort my dear customer when he's leaving Ye Tian City?" said Rui Yi Meng in her smooth voice while looking at the voluptuous black-haired woman and looking out of the carriage window where she saw the White-masked woman riding on the horse with the Ye Clan's symbol on the black rode.
"Ohoh, I thought you may show your tricks on me to know more about my identity Big sister?" said Yao Zhu with a chuckle and Han Luan Er passed both Rui Yi Meng and Yao Zhu warm tea cups.
"Fufufu, My little brother like I said we merchants always survive on our money instincts, by our first meeting I knew you were not a normal person to deal with so why should I take the risks," said Rui Yi Meng while sipping the tea with her cherry lips and nodded her head after tasing the tea.
"You made good tea Miss Luan Er," said Rui Yi Meng with praise on Han Luan Er who nodded her head with a slight smile with confusion that Rui Yi Meng knew a maid's name like her.
"You are very lucky brother, two beautiful women serving you wholeheartedly," said Rui Yi Meng with a giggle.
"You may say that but I think one person won't do it wholeheartedly," said Yao Zhu looking at Chu Lingshu who shrank her head away as she was caught by Yao Zhu after all she scolded him inwardly whenever he did naughty things to her.
"Hay!" Chu Lingshu rode the horse to the front so that Yao Zhu wouldn't see her.
"Hahaha, Then little brother where is your first destination place?" asked Rui Yi Meng with a laugh after seeing Chu Lingshu while she gave the empty tea cup to Han Luan Er.
"Don't know big sister, my guide is Chu Lingshu right now" said Yao Zhu as his eyes caught the Flying Boats stopping and leaving at a City port of Flying Boats.
"We have reached little brother, welcome to the Ye Port City, a Flying Boat Station maintained by the Iron Soul Forge Association," said Rui Yi Meng as the carriage went through the entrance of the Ye Port City after checking the identity of the carriage by the guards.
'This city is a peak!' thought Yao Zhu gazing at the towering mountain where there was a Port palace with Chinese architecture at the top of the mountain also it was as huge as the Ye Clan's Palace.
The carriage stopped at the foot of the Mountain, Yao Zhu saw the pailou gate with a name board 'Iron Soul Forge small station' and he saw the queue to go to the top but there he also saw the sampan boats (small flying boat) services to take the travelers to reach the Port palace of Iron Soul Forge Association.
"Shall take our small ride little brother before you leave?" asked Rui Yi Meng stepping down from the carriage after Yao Zhu nodded and gave her his hand to support her to step down, Han Luan Er looked around curiously like a kid, when she saw the small boat was flying in the sky made her innocent beautiful face bewildered.
"Welcome the Young Master and I am pleased to meet the Golden Rui Auction House manager" welcomed a fat aged man wearing a yellow robe with a small green cap. He bowed to the Yao Zhu, Chu Lingshu, and Rui Lingshu with respect.
"Pleased to meet Port Manager Dang Ying," said Rui Yi Meng with an enchanting smile attracting all the males towards her but when they saw an ugly kid with a pig face near to her, their mood disgusted especially some were already showing their anger towards on Yao Zhu.
"KUEH!"
"ARGH!"
All of them kneeled feeling the pressure from Chu Lingshu who saw the unwanted feelings on her Young master Zhu but when they saw the white mask their faces were mortified with fear and put their heads down feeling the cold chill on their backs.
"Come this way, Young Master Zhu," said Dang Ying with a smile on his chubby face as he took them through the pailou gate and strode to the luxury sampan boat to take Yao Zhu and his maids to the Port Palace.
'Seems like these disgusting men forgot the Ye Clan even after seeing the Ye Clan symbol still showed their disgusting thoughts' Chu Lingshu angered by them and her blue eyes glanced at the trembling people.
'I should contact Ye Linlao to give a small report' noted Chu Lingshu of the behavior towards the Ye Clan.
