Eternal God Swordsman
Meeting Yihua
"Little brother, I don't have any precious heirlooms, so I'm sorry this old man couldn't give you anything." Said Jhin Kwen with a hint of unease and shame.
Ho Chen smiled broadly at her hearing. "It should be that all seniors do not need to give anything to this junior, the support and trust that senior gives is already very helpful to encourage juniors." Ho Chen.
"Of course we support you, what else is this for the peace of the whole world, so we will be ready to help you at any time." Said Gwo Jian by holding onto Ho Chen's shoulder.
"You guys talk like that because you don't want to give away your heirloom, right? It fits you guys just change the name of the title to the miserly swordsman." Su Hui said ridiculing the two of them.
"Yes..! How come you're sister Hui." Answer them both in unison.
Ho Chen laughed at it, they talked and exchanged opinions long enough, even Ho Chen often got advice from the three sepuh.
"Teacher, I'm going first." Ho Chen felt like he had been there too long.
"Alright, after all just a little more you will arrive at the Mist Curtain Mountain." Feng Ying let out a long sigh then continued her words back.
"You are strong enough even if you do not use a combination technique. You should be able to practice the Spacetime and Eye God techniques without having to go all the way to the Mist Curtain Mountain." Said Feng Ying, she did not understand why Ho Chen would prefer to go to her place, and whenever Feng Ying wanted to teach her directly the reason Ho Chen remained the same.
"It's okay teacher, I prefer this and at the same time learn where the teacher is." Ho Chen replied, although the real reason is to want to see the wider world while also looking for more experience by traveling, he also wants to know where his teacher lives, he said, according to him, something that is desired can be done with hard effort, it will certainly be more fun than silent waiting and getting something you want instantly.
Ho Chen finally left the four of them, he again covered his face, but did not wear a mask, Only using a cloth as a cover of half his face.
While on the way, Ho Chen saw a group of palace soldiers walking out of the city, as well as a man riding a horse in a luxurious robe and a golden crown on his head, he was Emperor Hong who wanted to pick up Kang Jian and Qian Shin himself to go to the Palace.
Emperor Hong passed by Ho Chen who was standing by the roadside, Ho Chen bowed his body when he saw the Emperor staring at him.
"Stop..!." Ucao emperor Hong gave orders to his soldiers to stop.
"You, come here!." Emperor Hong asked Ho Chen to come forward.
Without saying anything Ho Chen came forward following Emperor Hong's orders.
"Are you one of the residents here?." Ask Emperor Hong.
"Yes Your Majesty!." Ho Chen replied calmly.
"Wouldn't all the residents have been displaced, why are you still here?." Ask Emperor Hong again.
Ho Chen thought for a moment, he was trying to find an answer that he thought could make sense so as not to be suspected by Emperor Hong. "I can't leave this place of my birth." Ho Chen replied by lying.
Emperor Hong raised his eyebrows next to him and said. "Are you aware that your attitude could put your own life at risk? You yourself already if the current situation is very dangerous, you know! I don't want any casualties from any of these townspeople, including you!." Said Emperor Hong.
"Thank you Your Majesty for caring for me and the entire population of this City, we are glad that Your Majesty has been so attentive to our safety, but I'm sorry Your Majesty! I really can't leave this city of my birth, even though my life would be at stake I would still be here."
"It's a good idea to argue with the Emperor, did you know you could be punished severely for breaking the Emperor's word!." One of the soldiers snapped at Ho Chen.
Emperor Hong signaled for the soldier not to interfere, then looked back at Ho Chen. "I understand how you feel, the one who has the willpower and will to endure as you are who I seek." Emperor Hong got off his horse and approached Ho Chen. "Who's your name?." Ask.
"Wei Jun, can you take off that face-covering cloth?." Emperor Hong asked Ho Chen to open his veil.
"I'm sorry if your Majesty sassy servant, I'm in the Flu so I don't dare to open it, I'm afraid this disease can be contagious." Answer Ho Chen.
"If you're sick, why didn't you go to the doctor yesterday?."
"Sorry, Your Honor, I am just a poor person with little income, so I have no medical expenses." Answer Ho Chen.
"Well, come to the palace, let the court physician examine your illness, and if you're cured, come back, I want you to be a court soldier." Emperor Hong said as well as giving 10 Gold pieces. "Take this as the cost of your needs." The Emperor handed over the 10 gold coins.
Ho Chen wanted to refuse, but considering that the one who gave him was an Emperor, he finally received those 10 Coins, unwilling to make the Emperor ashamed before his soldiers.
"Thank you Your Majesty, I will not forget this kindness of Your Majesty." Answer Ho Chen.
"If you don't mind, come to the palace whenever you want and treat your pain, and I also hope you will be my soldier." Emperor Hong said then rode his horse.
"I will consider His Majesty's request." Ho Chen replied with a bow.
"I hope you get well soon, and I also hope that my daughter will get well soon. All right, I'll go first, take care of yourself." Said Emperor Hong.
Ho Chen bowed his body by taking a few steps back, after Emperor Hong left he let out a long sigh as he managed to make Emperor Hong confident that he was a resident of Anming city.
"Yihua is sick? I'd better see him there before I go." Inner Ho Chen then flew to the Palace.
Ho Chen landed on the roof of Yihua's room, he saw General Yin Lun with some of the palace's top brass sitting in front of Yihua's room.
"The Time-stopping Witch!!."
As time stopped, general Yin Lun and some of the palace's officials and guards fell silent like statues. Ho Chen went down and entered Yihua's room, after arriving inside he closed the door and saw the very beautiful girl sitting on the chair staring blankly out the window.
"What is he sick of?." Inner Ho Chen, although he saw Yihua who was a little thin, but from his physique Yihua looked fine.
Ho Chen approached him and then flicked his finger, at once the time also turned around as usual.
After the time returned to normal, Yihua was surprised because suddenly appeared a figure wearing a face cover next to her. "Who are you why are you in my room? The guard! Vendor...! Um..! Um..! Oh..!."
Ho Chen immediately smothered Yihua's mouth so as not to shout, it was clear that Yihua was rebelling. "Yihua calm down! It's me Ho Chen." Ho Chen tried to speak to Yihua while winning it over.
Yihua was silent for a moment before finally rebelling again, forced Ho Chen to open his face cover, so that Yihua was calmer and sure that Ho Chen was not lying.
As soon as he saw Ho Chen's familiar face, Yihua stopped and fell silent. Ho Chen was also confused to see Yihua who was even speechless.
"You..! No-no this isn't real, it's just an illusion." Yihua was still a little hesitant to believe it if the one before her was Ho Chen.
Ho Chen obviously grew more confused then reassured Yihua. "What are you talking about? It's me Ho Chen, do I look like an illusion?." Said Ho Chen while palpating his own face in confusion.
