The Way of the Sword (BL)

Chapter 43: Some hours later...



Lan Ruan made the request directly, he thought Elder Han would resist and forbid him to follow with the new disciples, he was ready to blackmail this elder, but it seemed that Elder Han had found his martial ancestor, for he was all excited with Lan Ruan's request! 

"It would be wonderful if you can go and supervise these guards and the disciples!" Said Elder Han excitedly. Clearly, he felt better if Lan Ruan went with the team, so Zhong Liang was not going to run wild arranging trouble!

"Should I disguise myself and go as one of the Qin Empire guards?" Asked Lan Ruan, because his little martial brother Zhong Liang was going undercover, he thought it would be fun to disguise himself. 

"Of course it doesn't take so much. It would be better for the martial nephew Lan to show you face and your emblem so that the children would feel safer and livelier at the same time, which will prevent them from making a mess around, "said Elder Han looking strangely at Lan Ruan. He wondered why this shameless master's disciples liked to disguise themselves so much!

"Then that's it. It's fine with me too, "said Lan Ruan a little sadly, as he wanted to disguise himself like his junior brother Zhong. 

"Oh, is big brother Zhong also going to attend the young disciple escort?" Asked Fai Biyu looking very innocent as she asked. Anyone who didn't know this red-haired martial sister might think it was really an innocent question. 

"No, you know junior martial brother Zhong, he only has focused for cultivation," said Lan Ruan, lying without blinking. If Fai Biyu knew that Zhong Liang would be part of this escort mission to the new disciples, she would definitely want to go, which would be very problematic for Zhong Liang.

Lan Ruan goes on this mission to see Zemin Yan and confirm with his own eyes, if this child is really Baby Song Yan, then he will not have time to help Zhong Liang deal with this little martial sister. 

"Oh, I see," said Fai Biyu a little too cheerfully. She herself did not volunteer for such a ridiculous, low-ranking mission, she was more than happy that her second elder brother went for this mission, so he would not hinder her pursuit of Zhong Liang. 

Hong Yu wanted to say something, but the harsh look that Elder Han gave him made him shut up. He consoled himself that it was better not to meddle in the affairs of people as important as these prodigies of his sect. 

Lan Ruan knew very well what his little martial sister was thinking, but he held back his mischievous grin, he knew Zhong Liang would not want anyone to know what he was doing, otherwise, he would not disguise himself as a guard of the Qin empire. 

A few hours later Zhong Liang was reunited with the other guards of this mission, were the total of 10 Qin empire guards all in the Rising Soul kingdom and 1 elite guard in the immortal kingdom, plus Zhong Liang himself who was also in the Immortal Kingdom. 

The guards were excited about the presence of Zhong Liang, the name of this Heavenly Sword Sect disciple was very famous, so it was normal for the cultivators to be fans of such a genius! The only one who was bothered by the presence of this young prodigy was the leader of this group of guards, for she felt enormous pressure from Zhong Liang.

Of course, Zhong Liang was in a bad mood! 

After all, his second martial brother was already with the new disciples, while he himself was in a useless meeting with these imperial guards. The young commander of these guards could feel the discontent and she frowned, as she did not ask any support from the sect for this simple mission, she was also upset with this person.

Lin Mei-Lan is one of the youngest people to achieve the rank of commander, so she is bullied by the senior supreme commanders and admirals, so she eventually led a small entourage to protect these new chicks from the Celestial Sword sect. 

Apparently it's an honorable mission, after all, they are protecting their patron's new wonders, but it's also a lower-level mission. That it is not necessary for her to appear here. This shows how disadvantaged she is within the Qin Empire military!

All guards wore Qin Empire flag-colored masks, even Lin Mei-Lan and Zhong Liang. She wore a mask similar to those of the other guards, but there was a red jewel inlaid at the top symbolizing her status within the team. Zhong Liang, however, wore a flawless white mask that only covered his nose upwards, his beautiful, tempting lips showing, straight, with no pretense of smiling or cordial.

Everyone introduced themselves, of course, with their alias Liu One, Liu Two, Liu Three… So on. Sure, Zhong Liang didn't bother with that, but these introductions were annoying, he felt a strange urgency in his heart. 

On the other hand, Lan Ruan had already come to where Yun San and Zemin Yan's group were, he came with the other novice disciples and with Hong Yun and another core disciple. Adding up all gave a total of 15 novice students who belonged to the group that Elder Han is responsible for, plus the 3 new disciples from Nam Yang City, they had 18 disciples for this training. 

Originally supposed to be just 14 disciples, however, Hong Yu let Bohai Xiulan be an exception to the rule, which generated much jealousy from other novice disciples who could not attend this training. Already this beautiful child was full of pride and haughtiness, it also made the impression that Hong Yu favored Bohai Xiulan, which meant that Elder Han also favors this child. 

So jealousy and envy doubled in size, but a seed of fear of Bohai Xiulan was also planted because they felt that this child was very lucky and should not mess with him. Since he had already gotten an elder for the support!

Along with Lan Ruan's arrival four carriages, which were pulled by hell horses also arrived, the carriages had a Bai Family emblem! 

The horses of hell are one of the few demonic beasts that are domesticated. The beasts are divided into 3 types, the Magic Beasts, Holy Beasts and Demonic Beasts, each of which can get a humanoid form depending on what level of cultivation they must achieve for it.
