The Heaven and Earth Dragon Spear

The Arrival of the Imperial Family

Wang Tian Sin's hand trembled, he did not expect that the earth dragon book that was spoken of was an old leather scroll that looked ordinary. If he wasn't careful, he wouldn't have expected it.

Wang Tian Sin read the characters inscribed in the scroll, there were a few steps that had to be skipped before mastering the book completely.

The first step was the science of bone forging, the second was the science of skin forging and the third was soul forging.

There was a small note, Wang Tian Sin read it with full question marks, "Wise dragon erodes resentment and anger. The strong earth uses the heart to act."

"What does this have to do with the teacher asking me to erode my grudges and anger in order to study this book? Is a clean heart the main requirement to learn it?" wang Tian Sin was confused.

Wang Tian Sin again read the letter from Physician Yan and corroborated his guess on the terms of studying the book of the earth dragon.

"If this is the main condition, then I can't learn it any time soon." Wang Tian Sin had already attempted to dispel the hatred as well as the grudge in his heart, but there was still a speck of hatred that had always bothered him.

Not going to learn it any time soon, Wang Tian Sin kept the book in a secret closet again and walked out of the room. He took a jar of wine to warm a cold day.

***

The security of the Qin city was tightened after the assassination of the Qin governor, especially today the family of the emperor will visit the city of Qin. The soldiers passed by to settle the situation did not want the previous carelessness repeated.

A brown-coloured horse that was so gallant, ridden by a man almost fifty years old but still so gallant it broke through the western wall of the Qin city. He was the prince of Rui who came with his seventy personal bodyguards who were also riding horses.

The cavalry split the streets of Qin city into the Qin residence located in the center of the city. Residents who were on the move on the street immediately pulled over and bowed respectfully.

"Him!" prince Rui shouted as he whipped his horse. His face was so cold, there was no smile on his rough face and his eyes were emitting deep pain.

The closer to the Qin residence, Prince Rui's heart grew heated as he recalled his memories with Qin Huang. As if there were embers of fire clinging to his heart, at the same time a cold wind also swept across his soul, making the middle-aged man hold a grudge in his heart.

A residence with the placard name "Qin's Residence" was already visible, Prince Rui slowed down his horse's pace and stopped in front of the residence. Prince Rui got off his horse and walked away, a guard walked up to the horse and took him to the stable

Ning Lei welcomed Prince Rui's arrival and immediately saluted, "Ning Lei saluted Prince Rui."

Prince Rui knew the young man before him well, smiled faintly and held both of Ning Lei's shoulders, "Wake up. Where is Qin Guan?"

"Young Master Qin has been waiting for you in the main hall," Ning Lei replied politely.

Prince Rui nodded thinly and walked towards the main Hall of the Qin residence. A year ago, when he checked the eastern border he took the time to stop by this place. It felt like that time had passed not so long ago, but it had changed a lot of things.

A stone table surrounded by four stone chairs left Prince Rui speechless for a moment. It was the usual place he and Qin Huang spent time drinking wine and chatting casually.

An hour earlier, Ning Lei had told Qin Guan that Prince Rui was already outside the city gate and would arrive within an hour. Qin Guan changed his clothes into formal clothes, but it was still thick with white shades because all of his clothes were indeed white.

Qin Guan then met Xuanyuan Wentian who was reading a book in Qin Guan's study room, asking him to prepare because Prince Rui had come to visit. Xuanyuan Wentian nodded, then exchanged clothes in light blue robes with milky white exterior, contrasting with his slightly dark skin due to his fondness for travel.

The two young men headed for the main hall that had been tidied up and waited for Prince Rui's arrival.

"Qin Guan, does it matter if I welcome Prince Rui?" asked Xuanyuan Wentian.

Qin Guan glanced at him, "Have you forgotten your status as Young Master Xuanyuan? How can I ignore you and get you rooted in the study room?"

Xuanyuan Wentian smiled and nodded twice, "Oo .. So if I were not Young Master Xuanyuan, I would be ignored?"

Qin Guan snorted dejectedly, "Wentian, have you taken a bath with the flower valley girl? Why do your mouth puff like theirs."

Xuanyuan Wentian clucked in annoyance. The Valley of Flowers contains beautiful women who study false knowledge for the sake of strength and beautify themselves. Of course Xuanyuan Wentian would not have thought of being with them, just imagining it would have already left him goosebumps. "Qin Guan, you're like a girl on the moon."

Qin Guan only clucked in annoyance and did not reply to Xuanyuan Wentian's remark. Some days his emotions are not stable like a girl growing up. Moreover, the duties of the governor he worked on made him even more burdened.

Emperor Yin had not yet decided on the new Governor of Qin Province so some of the urgent tasks that had to be dealt with were forced to be taken over by Qin Guan and some officials. The two people who are likely to serve as the next governor are Qin Yang and Qin Guan.

Actually Qin Guan objected if he was appointed Governor of Qin in place of his late father, but giving this seat to his perverted-brained uncle was like destroying the prosperity of Qin built by the two previous governors. Inevitably Qin Guan had to make an effort to get the post for the sake of the people and his three hundred thousand troops.

"Qin Guan, are you daydreaming?" asked Xuanyuan Wentian. Qin Guan stammered when he found his friend's face already in front of his face.

"Ah .. no," Qin Guan replied briefly.

Just as Xuanyuan Wentian was about to issue another question, a guard told him that Prince Rui had arrived and was about to enter in in a moment.

Sure enough, a moment later, the silhouette of the brown-robed man entered the room and headed towards Qin Guan.

Qin Guan got up and greeted Prince Rui, while Xuanyuan Wentian tailed behind Qin Guan.

"Qin Guan saluted Old Prince Rui" Qin Guan said, bowing respectfully with two arms covered in front of his chest.

"Xuanyuan Wentian saluted Old Prince Rui."

Prince Rui nodded and helped the two young men back up.
