Return: The Dragon Legend

Ch. 12. Night in Changnan City

To avoid the attention of the residents, Shou Yan's entourage decided to walk even half an hour longer than using a horse carriage but this method was more effective.

Along the way Shou Yan's ears were hot from hearing the babble from the little girl beside him “ Yan’ge, when we get to the city “ Mei Hwa continues to complain by holding her small knee

“Patience Hwa’er, maybe soon” Shou Yan himself does not know when they will get to the city, until he sees a settlement with a high wall at the end of the forest “Hwa’er,, we've almost until” Shou Yan pointed at the city in front of him

“I can't walk anymore Yan’ge.” Mei Hwa pitched lazily with a slight swing of her lips

Shou Yan scratched his non-itchy nose, if Mei Hwa did not continue the journey that was only a few tens of meters away he was afraid that his stomach would shrink from hunger

Shou Yan suggested that Mei Hwa would be willing to be carried, the physical exercise that she underwent was sometimes beneficial for something like thisShou Yan slightly booked in front of Mei Hwa so that he could ride on her back

“Thank You Yan’ge” Mei Hwa slightly smiled seeing Shou Yan was paying attention to her despite all he had planned from the beginning

Guo An and Guan Ju only shook their heads when they saw the silly behavior of the two children. “This little girl has a smart brain” inner Guo An

“Sorry Mr. Guo, I have to leave for a reason ” Guan Ju intends to ask Guo An to give him time to do his secret duty

“What Mr. Guan wants to see the former battle yesterday” Guo An suspects that he wants to see the bodies of the assassins who have attacked him

Guan Ju responded to his response by nodding softly before going into the forest, traveling yesterday as he was to Changnan city to give word to the palace, Guan Ju did not see a single corpse on the spot

his battle and that made him suspicious before finally investigating him directly.

Arriving in Changnan city or rather in front of the main gate of Shou Yan and Mei Hwa was confronted by the gate guards with a spear in hand

“Sorry Uncle Warrior, why aren't we allowed in?” Shou Yan asked with a broken breath as he carried Mei Hwa on his back “Hwa’er, can you come down? We've reached”

Mei Hwa woke up when Shou Yan told her to go down “ah, have we reached Yan’ge?” with a little bit of yawning

Shou Yan felt astonished by Mei Hwa's attitude of being able to sleep on her back, even acting calm before the city's soldiers.

“Hey, don't you guys see the King's daughter wants to go inside the city!?” Mei Hwa who had descended from Shou Yan's back immediately scolded the two soldiers who were blocking their path.

The two soldiers looked at each other before seeing the clothes that Mei Hwa and Shou Yan wore “if you are a princess, I am a king” one of the guards scoffed before the two laughed

Mei Hwa felt annoyed with the two soldiers for feeling laughed at before her annoyance became a consciousness “At this time.hwa’er is not a daughter” whispered Shou Yan in the little girl's ear.

Mei Hwa who heard Shou Yan whisper and tried to see the clothes she wore “Ah, I forgot” Mei Hwa realized that she was wearing ordinary clothes and not wearing the clothes of a noble

Guo An who saw the behavior of the gatekeepers irritated him, until he tried to approach Shou Yan “Yan’er, why is still here?”

“Grandfather, we are not allowed to enter by Private” uncle Shou Yan holding the sleeves of Guo An while pointing at the two soldiers.

Guo An realized that if he wanted to enter the City, he had to pay the entrance tax, unlike a soldier or merchants who only showed Badges. The downside of a badge is having to pay

a few gold pieces a month

Guo An took one piece of gold and two pieces of silver from under his cloak “Sorry if my grandchildren have upset uncle soldier”

“ah, no why old man, and please forgive us little brother” one of the guards apologized and saluted and then followed the other guard.

“Not why uncle warrior, Junior also apologized” Shou Yan forgave the guards for being partly also for his ignorance.

In contrast to Mei Hwa who ignored him because he felt himself innocent. “Hwa’er.” Shou Yan tried to remind her but Mei Hwa's gaze focused on the clothes sold within the city and ran

to look up close.

Shou Yan saluted him before chasing after Mei Hwa, followed by Guo An walking slowly into the city.

As Guo An was seen away from the city gate, one of the guards started whispering something in the ear of his friend “hei, did you feel it?”

“Sure, that's a concentrated killing aura, maybe he's a warrior”

At the sight of the guards laughing at his grandson, Guo An let out a bit of a murderous air that made the guards shiver for it. Although only a gatekeeper, a soldier remains trained to understand the basis of martial arts

Mei Hwa sorted from the clothes in front of her and did not forget to bid the price “that's five gold pieces little lady.”

“three gold pieces.”

“it is made of the best silk fabric little lady,,”

 “Sure I know, two gold pieces and five silver pieces”

Mei Hwa began to bid the price of clothes she liked, even the shopkeeper until I was defeated by the behavior of the little girl as if she was used to bargaining.

Rarely see a child can think of a price for him to buy and most parents are the ones who bid a price, but different from the figure in front of him “Well little girl, because you are a beautiful girl..

I'll give you with two gold pieces”

“Hwa’er, let's go from here” Shou Yan tries to keep him away from the clothing store

“Yan’ge, give me two gold pieces” Mei Hwa ask money to Shou Yan with the palm facing up, because the money he used to wear has been brought by Guan Ju

“uang..? I don't even have a single” Shou Yan showed me his empty clothes pouch

When the two children were arguing appeared a man as old as they were behind them “Sorry Sir, let me pay him”

“Kakek”

“Grand Guo”

Guan Ju knew the extravagant nature of Mei Hwa so before going into the forest, he left some of his gold coins to Guo An for Mei Hwa.

With the appearance of Guo An, the desire of Mei Hwa who wants to shop is fulfilled before the three arrive at an inn with a star symbol above the entrance “Three-star inn.” Shou Yan read the name of the shop with both of his hands full of new clothes.

“Why shut up, let's go in.” Mei Hwa was the most excited of the three

Guo An told the two to sit down first before ordering a room and dinner, Arriving at the dinner table Shou Yan placed all the groceries Mei Hwa before massaging both her shoulders ”haih,, my hand feels like it will break” in Shou Yan's heart

The three-star inn is a two-story inn where the first floor has a dining room and on the second floor there are eight rooms facing each other.

Guo An reserved two rooms for the second floor, as well as ordering some food for them to eat before taking a break in their room.

“Yan’er, this is a gift from the results of your training, eat a full”

During this time Guo An could only give Shou Yan vegetables, often he hunted to make him not bored but the food he cooked was certainly different from the food they bought today.

“Thank you cake,,”

Guo An did not forget to remind Mei Hwa to eat “ Princess, hurry up to eat while still warm”

The three ate voraciously especially Shou Yan who had exhausted three dishes before finally heading to the room to rest.

Guo An slept one room with Shou Yan, while Mei Hwa slept in a different room but was still close to their room.

Arriving Guan Ju at the scene he tried to find the body of the iron mask that had attacked him “Their body has disappeared, what is possible.?”
