THE RISE OF THE DRAGON.

157. SEARCH TROUBLE.

The two young men approached the group focused on their food.

“Halo.” The young man with sharp eyes said with a pleasant smile.

He was greeted with silence, fine

Neither Ui Yong Jiang nor any of them turned their heads to look at him, let alone reply.

The expression on his face changed, not only him, the young man with curly hair as well as the expression of the innkeeper also changed.

The young man in front of them was the mayor's son, a figure so big and he got a cold demeanor from a bunch of brats!

The young man refrained from attacking before smiling once more.

“Halo, can I have a minute?” He asked with the same smile.

“There can we help?” Yong We stopped eating and looked at him.

“No, I noticed you are new here, and seeing how you cheated at the gate, I decided to help you guys while you stay here.” The young man replied.

“Oh that, well, we don't want to waste too much time there. After all it was only fifty silver coins.” Yong we waved with a forced laugh.

She did not want to talk to him, but seeing him standing there without anyone answering her, she chose to talk to him.

“Yeah, in our city, we do not allow good people to be cheated.” The young man stated.

“How about the bad guy?” Mei ling who did not say a word asked while still eating.

The young man who was about to speak was almost choking on his words upon hearing his question.

‘Who is this moron?’ He asked himself.

He laughed awkwardly without answering.

Young man with curly hair.

“Ah... Where is my manners, I am San, and this is Long wei.” He introduced himself as well as the young man with curly hair behind him.

“This is your coin back, the guard has been sent to the dungeon where he will be punished for his crime.” San put the coin on the table.

Other than Yong wei, no one else spoke to San. This made him feel very awkward, but mostly angry.

If not for Long wei telling him not to do something aggressively, then,

he must have called the guards to beat up these fools.

He didn't know what to say anymore because there was really nothing he could talk about. Long wei slowly stepped in front of him, approaching Jade lin.

“Helping the old man is very good for you.” He stood before her.

“Oh thank you.” Jade Lin finally raised his head to look at the young man standing in front of him.

He did not see anything special about him, perhaps because he had always been with Ui Yong Jiang and Yong we which made him wish all men were as handsome as he was,

or at least, at the level of Yong wei. But, this man's good looks level was below his, making him feel somewhat completely uninterested since it was only 40%, it was below average.

“It's nice to meet you, I'm Long wei.” he reached out his hand.

“Don, it's Yong we, Klaus, and Ui Yong Jiang.” Jade Lin introduced the others to them as well, but she refused to shake her hand.

Long wei withdrew his hand but still smiled, “I want to invite to stay at the mayor's villa. If it's okay with you?”

Jade lin was about to refuse when she saw Mei ling nodding her head. Even Ui Yong Jiang looked at him with a bit of surprise.

‘Since when was he so friendly?’

The trio familiar with it thought.

“I'm sorry, I'm already too hungry which makes me a little angry. We want to go to the mayor's villa with you.” Mei Linh stood up and shook Long wei's hand.

“Haha, it's okay, I can understand how you feel.” Long wei chuckled while shaking her hand.

“Good for you to understand, why don't we go now?” ask her.

“Sure, if it's okay with your friends.” Long wei nodded.

“They are fine. I feel a strong connection with you, it seems like we are destined to be friends, can we be friends?” his questioning, made Ui Yong Jiang and the others speechless.

“Of course.” Long wei replied.

He didn't care about Klaus or the other boys, but if it would bring Jade Lin closer to him, he wouldn't mind being friends with them, for now.

“Haha good! As my friend, why don't you help us with our meal bill?

You know, we were robbed on the way here.” Mei ling laughed before saying the last part with a sad expression.

“Hah!”

Everyone around the table exclaimed, including Ui Yong Jiang and his friends, but they quickly hid their expressions

so that Mei ling does not look lying. Well, he lied, but they didn't know what he was planning, so they had to play along.

“Of course, consider this my first gift for you.

“Haha, great!” Mei ling laughs, “Come friends, let's go to the mayor's villa!”

“And cause chaos.” He added to himself.

The group left the inn, with Mei ling and Long wei walking side by side, laughing along the way.

“Hey, do you know what's wrong with him?” Yong wei leaned closer to Ui Yong Jiang and asked.

“No, but from the way he smiled, it was not good for them.” replied Ui Yong Jiang.

“How about this, Jade lin will walk to the villa?” He pointed at her.

Ui Yong Jiang and the others looked at him in shock, only to see him wink at them. He knows exactly what he's doing.

“No, we are not polite to let a kind woman walk to the villa when there is a train here.” Long wei quickly rejected it.

“Hmm, okay it's done. You, you will walk to the mayor's villa, the rest, go in.” Mei ling pointed at San before entering the carriage, accompanied by Ui Yong Jiang and Yong wei.

Jade lin smiled gently but still climbed onto the carriage,

Long wei and San stood outside shaken, San actually opened his mouth wide because he could not believe what had just happened.

‘What the fuck?! That's my train!’ Long wei almost shouted out loudly.

Long wei's mouth twitched a few times before she whispered, “Don't worry, they will regret this.”

San stood outside, tears almost flowing in his eyes. And just when he thought things weren't going to get any worse, it started raining.

“What?!” He exclaimed in shock.

The sun was just about to set, and the weather was still quite clear, there was not even a sign of rain, so, how could it suddenly rain?

Unfortunately, the carriage had already left, and even if it was still there, he could not enter.

She almost wanted to cry, but her expression became worse when the rain stopped after the carriage disappeared from sight.

In the car.

Mei ling and Long wei spoke enthusiastically with Mei ling recounting their journey.

Of course, he was not talking about the trial lands, or where they came from . In short, he lied throughout the conversation.

He even said they were expelled from the Academy for not being able to reach the target set by the Academy.

Five minutes later, the train arrived at the mayor's villa. When the carriage stopped, Ui Yong Jiang and the others looked out the window, only to find that they were only at the gate of the villa.

Two heavily armed guards spoke to the coachman, before inspecting the inside, top, and bottom of the carriage before letting them pass.

Once inside the gate, and behind the high gray walls, the carriage slowed down, he said,

it allowed Ui Yong Jiang and his friends to enjoy the view of the villa as a whole.

The park around the manor stretched over eight hundred meters. Air scented cut grass,

flower beds, and finely trimmed bushes adorn the cobbled streets that traverse the entire park quite beautifully.

The villa itself was larger than the group had imagined, covering an area of at least three thousand square meters, divided into the main building, the main building,

the left and right wings form an inverted U shape. It took me almost three more minutes to actually get to the entrance of the villa.

Ui Yong Jiang sent his spiritual senses to inspect the area, and he easily noticed the guards hiding behind

bushes, keep an eye on them. Only after they highlighted the carriage did the guards stop watching them.

‘void.’ He called.

‘On it.’ Void replied.

His senses were sharper and covered a longer distance compared to Ui Yong Jiang, so he could sense what Ui Yong Jiang was missing.

‘There is nothing to worry about, they are all on the Arcane Plane. There was one person hidden inside who seemed to be close to the Origin Plane, or perhaps he was on the Origin Plane.

I really don't know, but that guy doesn't matter, even Mei ling can beat him.’ Void reported.

Long wei had tried several times to start a conversation with Jade lin, but it was all in vain.

“Ah! You are finally here!” Mei ling stood up and walked haughtily towards her.

San tried to force a smile, but his expression turned even more sour when he heard his next words.

“How's the weather?”

“I think it's beautiful, don't you think so is it?” Ui Yong Jiang actually joined this time.

“Ya, amazing.” Yong we also nodded.

The three continued to talk about how great the weather was, making San's expression even more sour. He wanted to bury them alive.

“Why don't we log in?” Long wei quickly tried to help him.

He could sense that something strange was happening, but he didn't know, nor did he care. All he noticed was Giok lin, that was what he wanted, nothing else mattered.

The group of six slowly walked to the villa, heading towards the right wing. It took more than five minutes to walk there.

As soon as they entered the building, San led them straight to a hall on the left side of the building.

An eight-meter-long, two-meter-wide table could be seen on the side of the building, with ten chairs arranged around it.

San led the group to the table, and everyone sat down. Mei ling sat in the middle of San and Long wei, so that she could speak to them well.

Ui Yong Jiang, Jade lin, and Yong we sat on the other side of the table.

After sitting down, San called the servants to bring some food and wine to his guests.

When the servants returned with different food and also about four types of wine, the,

Mei ling was the first to pick up a bottle of wine and help herself with a few cups.

He poured some in one of the silver cups on the table, before emptying it in one big gulp.

Long wei and San looked at each other, slightly surprised. They could see the same question in each other's eyes.

‘Is he not afraid of being poisoned? Also, we are his ethic?’

“Good wine! It's there's some.” He exclaimed before pouring some for Long wei.

“Thank you.” Long wei smiled lightly before taking out the silver cup.

“Haha, spirit.” Mei ling laughed happily.

Both cups make ‘dangang!’ heard when they lightly knocked on each other.

“Cheers.” He said but his voice diminished at the end of the word.

The reason for this was because he accidentally banged his cup too hard into San's cup,

making the two cups containing the wine instantly spilled onto San's body. And just as San was about to react to the wine falling on his body, the worst happened.

Pu's…

Yong We who had just drank a mouthful of wine spat it out, spraying the wine directly onto the face of San who was sitting opposite him.

Everyone's mouth opened unconsciously when this happened. Not even two seconds after Mei ling ‘ accidentally’ poured wine into San's body.

“Sorry, it was an accident.”

“Sorry, I don't like the taste.”

Yong we and Mei ling apologized simultaneously.

Bang out!

“Enough!” San bellowed furiously, banging his hand against the table forcefully.
