Zhang Yuan's

Welcoming

In the past month, Ina City seemed very busy and crowded. All housing in the clean and renovated becomes more beautiful to look at with red and golden yellow decorations. Many residents began to make traditional cuisine typical of Ina City. Every night there are fireworks lit.

The streets throughout Ina City are decorated with very interesting decorations. The slum in the City has also been renovated using the City budget and funds from all prominent families. This was all they were preparing to welcome Zhang Yuan's arrival.

Now on a very sunny morning a large and magnificent palanquin with many troupes behind it arrived in front of the gates of Ina City. From inside the palanquin, a beautiful girl opened a bit of the curtain and saw the whole City being beautifully decorated.

“Princess Meili, it looks like this City is preparing a welcome for you. Even the whole City is being decorated.” Said one of the waitresses in the palanquin.

“Really? But we haven't even informed the City King that we're coming.” The beautiful girl was named Zhou Meili.

“It may be that Mr. Gu and the 7th young master were the ones who told the City King.” The waiter said enthusiastically.

“Ya might just be this job of uncle Gu and sister 7.” Zhou meili muttered with a small laugh.

“Guard, let's hurry to the King's residence.” Said the maid.

Then the party immediately headed for the City King's residence. Arriving at the City King's residence, there was Uncle Gu and a small child sitting with the Ina City King while drinking a glass of water from Zhang Yuan's immortality sari.

“Mr Princess Zhou meili enters the residence!” said the residence guard in a high tone so that it could be heard by everyone.

Then Zhou Meili's daughter entered the City King's residence. There he saw uncle Gu and his little brother were sitting casually in the courtyard of the residence.

“Welcome princess Zhou meili.” Greet the king of the city with a bow.

“Thank you King of Ina City for your hospitality. So why bother preparing for this big welcoming event just to welcome myself" said princess Zhou meili with a proud smile.

“Eh..” response City King.

“Eh?” response back to Zhou meili's daughter.

“Hahaha, sister is very funny. Do you think that the commotion in this City is for your welcome. Big head once you brother.” The little boy said while laughing.

Uncle Gu and the City King looked like they were holding back a laugh with faces that were hard to describe. Hearing the sneer from his sister made princess Zhou meili's face flushed red with anger and was very embarrassed.

City King immediately said politely “Please forgive us princess, we did not know that you will be here so soon. So we did not prepare a very decent welcome for you.”

“Then the welcome for whom you will do until the whole City is made as it is now?” asked Zhou meili's daughter in annoyance.

“That's for the welcoming of Mr. Zhang Yuan, patriarch of Zhang's Palace.” Sahut the City King with a rather sour face.

“Hah, who is Zhang Yuan? Is he an important person here?”

The City King nodded and said “Master Zhang Yuan is a benefactor in Ina City, his young, handsome and charismatic figure makes people love and admire him a lot. Without his help, many small people including the slum dwellers may be dead by now. About two years ago, he went on a long trip. And a month ago we got word that he'd be arriving in town any minute. So the residents of the City were so enthusiastic that they flocked to begin decorating the entire City in order to welcome Mr. Zhang Yuan.”

Princess Zhou meili was silent for a moment thinking about all the words of the City King just now. He felt disbelief in all the old man's words. Then he looked at Uncle Gu. Uncle gu just smiled and princess Zhou then began to believe the words of the City King just now.

“You said he was a patriarch, but why do you also say that he is a young figure.” Zhou meili's.

“Ah, that is because master Zhang Yuan is still around 20 years old. Even so, he has a very wise nature to cover that he is still young.” Said the City King.

“But why have I never heard of him? Not even an Imperial informant knew it.” Mumbled Zhou meili's daughter.

“Kakak, we better come later when Mr. Zhang Yuan's welcome is done. So we can see what Mr. Zhang looks like.” Said his little brother.

“Hmm, fine then. I also became curious as to what such a great figure that even his name had not been heard of in the Capital.” Said Zhou meili's daughter while nodding.

Not long after, a servant came to the City King.

“King of the City, everyone has now gathered at the City gate awaiting the arrival of master Zhang Yuan.”

The City King looked surprised and said “What! Is it time. Then we should get there. Princess, let's go there and I'll introduce you to master Zhang Yuan later.”

Princess Zhou meili nodded and followed the somewhat hasty City King away. What a disrespectful attitude the princess thought to the City King. Uncle Gu and his little brother could only laugh at the look on Zhou meili's face.

They had all arrived near the City gate and they were so stunned, it had been when the princesses troupe passed through it not yet like this. But now, everything looks so beautiful. The red carpet along the road. Knick knacks around the road, even the city walls are also decorated by beautiful decorations.

Princess and uncle Gu had thought that a welcome like this was like a welcome to the Emperor. His brand could only sigh deeply and wait for who Zhang Yuan was that made everyone respect him so much.

From above the City gate a guard shouted loudly “The entourage of master Zhang Yuan will soon enter the gate.”

The screams of the guards from up there were loud. After he shouted like that, from the top of the huge gate it was also the sound of a very loud drum being hit. The sound of the drum was already like a new year celebration in the Empire.

Once the colorful trinkets began to fall when Zhang Yuan arrived and stepped into the gate. All the residents of Ina City immediately prostrated, except the patriarchs of the distinguished family.

Uncle Gu, Zhou meili's daughter and little sister were shocked by this moment. It was like a tribute to an Emperor.

“Welcome back in Ina City lord Zhang Yuan!” said all the people very loudly.

“Why is everyone prostrating? Is master Zhang Yuan an Emperor in this country?” long Yufan muttered to his two brothers.

Now all of Zhang Yuan's entourage could see such an incredible welcome. All the Townspeople along the way were prostrating as Zhang Yuan passed by them. Only a few people from distinguished families did not prostrate themselves and simply bowed to pay their respects.

Zhang Yuan was a little confused by this, but then he still continued walking forward as long as the red carpet was spread out.

“Kyaa.. take a look at the appearance of master Zhang Yuan, he is now more handsome and very different.”

“Should we call what Mr Zhang is today? Is the prince of Ina City or the handsome Ina City. I can't think about it.”

“Woah, look at the entourage brought by Mr. Zhang. The aura emitted by them was extremely powerful. Even small children ride such a great spirit beast, very envious, Huhuhu.”

Along the way, many compliments that are always in the form of the residents will look more and more cool than two years ago. The changes displayed by Zhang Yuan were very different.

In Zhang Yuan's heart thought about what had really happened, why did they all make this kind of welcome. Though Zhang Yuan only said in the communication jade slip that he wanted the residents of the City to be conditioned on the arrival of his entourage. It seemed like the elders had misunderstood his words. If the nobles saw him, they would definitely curse Zhang Yuan for the rest of his life. Zhang Yuan could only sigh and receive a warm welcome from everyone.

“Master Zhang” said old man Ming with a serious face.

“Yes, I know it. Try to test your strength.” Said casually while smiling towards all the residents.

At the end of the red carpet, stood the core members of Zhang Palace along with the distinguished family patriarchs.

“Sir!” says everyone.

Zhang Yuan's four wives ran over crying and hugged Zhang Yuan very tightly. The moment of the meeting was very moving for Zhang Yuan, as he was finally able to go home to meet all of his family members.

“My lord, why are you getting so skinny. Don't you eat regularly.” Xiao Die said as he looked at Zhang Yuan's body.

Zhang Yuan just chuckled and said “I'm on my way, of course I'm a little short of food.”

“Welcome Mr. Zhang.” Said all the Zhang Palace elders while bowing.

Master Jian feng was also there and he bowed in greeting. He had wanted to see the patriarchal figure of the Zhang Palace family and wanted to test it a bit. But who would have thought that his figure was so extraordinary that all the residents even prostrated themselves before him. It was already like they saw the figure of the Emperor. This also made master Jian feng feel mentally challenged. It was fortunate that he had never said a word of bad about the Zhang Palace patriarch in front of the elders. If not, maybe his head has been cut off by now.

Zhang Yuan smiled and waved his hand at the family elders. Then he looked at the distinguished family patriarchs.

“Greetings Mr Zhang, welcome back to Ina.” City Said the City King and the patriarchs.

Zhang Yuan smiled, “Thank you for your warm welcome”

Then Zhang Yuan turned his head again in the other direction and saw three people standing. Their clothes were extremely luxurious with dragon motifs that symbolized the Huangsi Empire.

“One of the 6 sword gods of the Huangsi Empire, the third sword of the death god Gu tianlong. The Empire's 5th princess, Zhou meili and the little boy the 7th prince, Zhou yifan. I didn't expect to meet any important people here. Greetings to everyone, I'm sorry I didn't give you the respect you deserve.” Zhang Yuan said as he clenched his two hands saluted.

“Hey handsome brother! Who you call a little boy!” said the 7th prince who looked angry.

“Greetings Mr Zhang Yuan. I did not expect that the figure adored by the people of the City was not an old man, but a young man like you.” Said Zhou meili's daughter with a smile.

Zhang Yuan laughed at the words of the princess and said “Thank you for your praise daughter Zhou meili.”

“Talents and genius are indeed born from the younger generation. Even you can have hundreds of powerful forces like this, there are hundreds of powerful experts and there are also expert figures in the Heavenly realm with you. If the noble family knows of your identity, then I fear that your family will be in danger.” Gu tianlong said.

“Hahaha, Mr. Gu tianlong's praise really makes my heart feel very happy. On that, I don't have much problem with it. If they dare to mess with me or my family, then I just face it.” Zhang Yuan said clearly and a red light shone in his pupils.

The moment the Empire's third sword god saw Zhang Yuan's pupils. He felt a gripping aura, as if this look of an eye was not being let out by a youngster. Rather it was issued by a war veteran who was drenched in blood. Behind his shadow was as if an enormous aura was trying to intimidate him. Gu tuanlong was surprised as well as amazed by Zhang Yuan's figure. Though he was an expert at the Heavenly Core realm pinnacle and the Empire's third sword.

“Hahaha, you are amazing patriarch Zhang.” Gu tianlong.

“Please forgive me princess and lord Gu, I am a little tired from the long journey. I'm saying retreat.” Zhang Yuan said very politely.

“Basic base! How dare you act disrespectfully before the third sword god and the Imperial family.” Shouted the princess's servant from behind.

Old man Ming who heard this from behind Zhang Yuan said “Then why did you act disrespectfully to a family patriarch when you were just a servant.”

Old man Ming was furious with the servant's words and an overflowing aura burst out from his body trying to attack the servant. But swiftly Gu tianlong also gave off a powerful aura that faced the attack of old Ming sir.

“Please forgive this little servant brother. You are an expert in the Heavenly realm, there is no need for you to deal with a weakling like him. After this, we will give the punishment for his sassness.” Gu tianlong said to old man Ming.

Zhang Yuan then waved his hand at old man Ming. Seeing the code from Zhang Yuan, old man Ming immediately eased the aura. The people around were affected by the impact of the two expert powers. The distinguished family patriarchs who were in the realm of Soul Refining until asphyxiation was made. As for the 7th prince slumped on the ground and nearly fainted. Then Zhou Meili's daughter immediately gave the medicine pills to her sister.

The atmosphere in that place is very awkward. Zhang Yuan sighed and said “Then we announced retreat.”

Zhang Yuan's large entourage immediately went from that place towards the residence. Such was the beginning of Zhang Yuan's meeting with the Imperial family. What an act that makes everyone there almost hanging.
