Return: The Dragon Legend

Ch. 74. Beiping

“You guys wait here, I will soon return” Fan Cou went to one of the counters and left Shou Yan with the other disciples

After arriving and descending from the ship Shou Yan was the one who carried Bao Yu because his classmates were still in unwell condition

Had thought this was his mistake for inviting Bao Yu to tell him about the beauty of nature regardless of the circumstances

“Maybe..he is indeed a good” Inner Shou Yan while looking at the face of Bao Yu who is still asleep

“A-sister.why can you still smile” Said one of his colleagues who was looking at Shou Yan standing firm even strong enough to help Bao Yu

Shou Yan turned to the source of the voice and found the five of them still looking limp with the sword as their body support except for one person who invited him to speak

“Maybe.. because of the physical exercise provided by Elder Guo” Such a reason might seem absurd because all the disciples also took part in physical exercise, as Guo An used to teach

But Shou Yan himself did not really know why only he still looks healthy

As the two talked to each other, Fan Cou came with two horse carriages, in fact he had a plan to walk while looking for an inn

But seeing one of the disciples that Shou Yan is helping to make him undo the intention of “You are fast rising, we will find lodging first”

“Good Elder” Say all students simultaneously

Fan Cou shook his head when he saw that Shou Yan still had the strength to talk to his friend even help Bao Yu who was still not awake

“This child.. how big is his stamina.?” His mind while walking slowly into the car “Go to the nearest inn” Imbuh on the coachman

“Good Tuan”

Throughout the journey Shou Yan was always impressed with the outside world but seeing the crowded capital city had made him almost forget himself

Shou Yan always takes his head out of the window while looking at the atmosphere around “In the Capital City looks more crowded than in the previous city”

“Of course, in this place.” One of his colleagues explained that in this Sun kingdom, the King had given the capital a name

“Beiping.?” Ask Shou Yan

“True.. which means resurrection” Being the heart of the Sun Nation must certainly have great power to be able to protect it from enemies

The working capital of Sun itself has a population of nearly one million but has only tens of thousands of troops

Even so, there was a white and neutral sect that stayed and settled in Beiping, thus allowing the enemy to think twice if it wanted to attack

Shou Yan was surprised when his partner found out so much about the Capital “Did Senior have been here before.?”

His colleague shook his head, the information he also got from the Elders “Have you never heard of it.?”

“I..” Shou Yan spent his time practicing the book of nine Yin and was often aloof when the Elders told him about the martial world

Instead of refusing to listen, but every time he wanted to get close, the other disciples always stayed away like they did not like his presence

“Adik.. if it's actually.”

Wanting to explain the true events, but Bao Yu had come to her senses first and no one dared to offend her except for one person

“Senior.. how are you doing, is it better.?” Said Shou Yan while holding onto Bao Yu's shoulder

“Keep away from me.!” He said as he parried Shou Yan's hand

His defeat on the ship made him hate Shou Yan even more because the nature of not wanting to lose was inherent in his body “Who helped me.?” Imbuhnya while looking at the three colleagues

The other two disciples turned their heads towards Shou Yan, whereas he himself only smiled faintly, hoping that his kindness would pay off

“Do not expect I will thank you”

Shou Yan only smiled faintly, yet he did not put it in his heart at all and preferred to look at the situation in the capital

***

“Your Majesty, this is not the time to hold Competitions”

“True Your Majesty, we should postpone first and immediately send troops to border”

“We will still hold the Tournament and we must also maintain the security of the residents of” Sun Qian said to two ministers who had rejected his decision

“But.”

“Enough..! I've already sent the right general to the border” Sun Qian won't make a decision if indeed the circumstances don't support his plan

Guan Ju who saw the ministers whispering to each other in doubt towards King Sun, intending to ask while assuring the plan “Sorry Your Majesty, are we going to tighten the guard around the palace.?”

Sun Qian responded to the intent of the question “Do it..! But do not cause a commotion in the society”

“Do you guys have any more questions..? If not, meeting in disband”

The ministers of Red and Black looked at each other before ending the meeting “Both Your Highness” All left their seats except for two people

Sun Qian was still sitting while massaging his forehead, thinking about whether his decision was indeed right until he realized someone was approaching him “General Guan.?”

“There is a need to ask the general.?”

Guan Ju realized that this was not the right time to ask about unimportant matters but he realized that there was more to the affairs of the state

“How about the Princess.?”

Hearing Guan Ju mention the Princess, even more makes her more dizzy “Why with Mei Hwa.?”

“Mr Princess still refuses to get out of her room, please Your Majesty pay attention”

Guan Ju left the room after seeing Sun Qian flick his hands “Thank you Your Highness”

For a moment, Sun Qian calmed down before walking out and meeting Mei Hwa in her room “How about..? Is there any development.?”

Two dayer room guard Mei Hwa had seen their King coming, could only give a report like the previous days “Mr Princess still refused to exit Her Majesty”

Sun Qian let out a long sigh while standing in front of the door and spoke “Hwa’er.want until when to keep confining yourself”.

“Until my father allowed me to go” he had repeatedly asked his father to go to Changnan city but was always rejected for security reasons

“Situation is still not safe enough Hwa'er, How about we go to the library.?” Sun Qian realized that for the past two years, Mei Hwa had always visited the book room in the palace and thought that it was one of her hobbies

“No...!”

Sun Qian sighed again, thinking that her daughter's nature was very similar to her stubborn mother

One of the maids tried to ask Sun Qian about the Tournament that would be held in a few more days even alluding to the martial world

Mei Hwa who heard the talk became more excited “Did you invite all sects in this kingdom.?”.

“True Hwa'er”

“Includes sects in Changnan city.?”

Sun Qian stared at the two maids in turn before nodding slowly “Iya Hwa'er”

The three heard the sound of footsteps approaching the door and as it opened Mei Hwa hugged Sun Qian “I love father”

Sun Qian smiled at the sight of her daughter no longer locked herself away, but the smile faded as Mei Hwa took her two paddles to drive around the city

To ensure the safety of his daughter, he had advised the two maids to guard Mei Hwa no matter what
