The Ruler
138. With Xun Ping.
Along the way to the Xun Clan, Xun Ping and Qing Ruo continued to chat casually.
" Brother Ruo, if we move at full speed, maybe we will arrive by morning" he said casually.
" Sister Ping, no problem. After all I am not in a hurry either," Qing Ruo said excitedly.
" Brother Ruo, if I may know, what is the reason you chose the Golden Eagle ?"
" Brother Ping, the golden Eagle is a sky animal that has high speed. And I'm a person who loves adventure and traveling far. With that beast, won't it make my journey easier. One more thing you like, since the golden eagle is not a rare animal, then I'm sure no other force wants it."
" Branker Ruo is right..."
" Sister Ping, as a clan that can control ferocious beasts, why don't you yourself use a ferocious beast to be a mount animal?"
" Brother Ruo, with our current strength, we don't need that, after all carrying a savage beast as a mount will only attract attention. Nevertheless, the low-level warriors in the clan on average had beasts as their mounts and pets." Xun Ping explained.
" I understand," Qing Ruo said in casual conversation as she continued to move.

Somewhere else.
Five kilometers in front of Qing Ruo and Xun Ping, Long Chen and his two brothers Long Fu and Long Qe continued to move ahead of them and keep their distance.
" Sister Chen, after this what should we do?" ask Long Fu.
" We'll find a place and hide near the Xun Clan's territory."
" Hais, what the ruler wants to do in that place," Long Qe said worriedly.
" Stay calm and act according to his direction. Based on the explanation of brother Yuan Bai and the others, the young ruler was a person full of consideration and calculation," Long Chen calmed his two brothers down.
" Will the Ruler make calculations with them?" ask Long Fu.
" I don't know either. But the ruler is not such a man. Keep moving and keep your distance" Long Chen gave the order.

Bei Shan City.
Xun Theng and Xun Shang who were still in the Golden Flower inn were sitting at their place while leisurely enjoying a drink.
" I didn't expect that we would meet a rich fool, who thought he could buy anything. Hopefully Brother Ping will return soon with a lot of booty so that we can have fun in this city" Xun Shang said with a laugh.
" right. He thinks the wild animals we need can be bought for granted. Really funny. But isn't this a long time ago." said Xun Theng in surprise.
" Maybe Ping's brother is looking for a safe place" Xun Shang said.
" Low-level swordsman like that, just one slap. Why bother..."
" Sister Shang, at least finding a safe place would be better to avoid any impending trouble."
" Brand Theng, right."
" But this is strange, for some time in this place, we did not even see, or feel the aura of the suspected figure. Are they locked in their space? Or they were gone from the beginning." said Xun Shang in surprise.
" Be calm, I'm sure they're still in the room. If they're gone, the guard soldiers must have notified us." said Xun Theng as he sipped his drink.

Somewhere else.
Xun Ping who was on the move brought Qing Ruo towards the Xun Clan, suddenly slowing down his movements.
" Sister, what's wrong?" qing Ruo asked in surprise.
" We will rest for a while," he said as he carried Qing Ruo moving towards the small mountain peak not far from that place.
" Alright," Qing Ruo replied calmly, who began to feel the oddity of Xun Ping's attitude, while asking Long Chen and his entourage to approach the mountain where they were going to rest.
" Swhus.. Swhus..." They both landed on the top of the mountain.
" Brother Na Ruo, sit down" Xun Ping said casually, but looked nervous.
" Sister Xun Ping, speak up." said Qing Ruo kindly.
" Brother Na Ruo, actually the Xun clan has never sold a demon that has been conquered, because we made it as a special force to protect the clan." he said honestly.
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" That means you lied to me..."
Xun Ping nodded his head.
" It was the idea of my two brothers, Xun Shang and Xun Theng. The reason I accepted their request earlier was to spare the brothers from the bad things they would do. To be honest, I am a man of principles. How could it be possible to do something bad to someone who has given me food and drink" he said honestly.
" Why didn't you say it from the beginning?"
" I want Brother Na Ruo to remain calm. Besides, by taking the brothers away, I also made a distance from them."
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" Brother Xun Ping, thank you. What is their real purpose?"
" They know that brother is a rich man, so they want me to take...." Paused his words, looking at Qing Ruo with guilt.
" I know you're in a difficult position too, but I don't want to give up my things either..." Qing Ruo said calmly.
Xun Ping nodded his head.
" If I were a brother, I would do the same."
The two of them were both silent, making the place even more silent.
" Brother Na Ruo, I will return to Bei Shan city. There's work we're gonna finish there. Brother go..." With a serious face.
Qing Ruo nodded her head.
" Brother Xun Ping, thank you. I Qing Ruo will remember you as my voice," Qing Ruo cupped her hands respectfully. Qing Ruo's words made Xun Ping instantly stand up from his seat, staring fixedly at Qing Ruo.
" Brother Na Ruo, you mean brother?" Nervously. From the look in his eyes, there seemed to be such a tremendous shock.
" Sister Xun Ping, that Na Ruo is my pseudonym." Qing Ruo said with her friendly smile, making Xun Ping even more nervous.
" So that Qing Ruo is brother's name ?"
Qing Ruo nodded her head, making Xun Ping instantly kneel, yet was immediately stopped by Qing Ruo.
" Sister Xun Ping, don't. We are brothers" Qing Ruo said firmly, making Xun Ping sculpt.
" Sister Xun Ping, besides I already know the purpose of you guys coming to that city," Qing Ruo said casually.
" You mean brother?"
" I had previously heard a brother conversation with those elders, who were looking for a figure riding a Black Flame Qilin. Is that really so?"
" Truly suadara..."
" That black Fire Qilin is my mount," Qing Ruo said casually. Making Xun Ping deathly pale.
" Brother Ruo, please forgive-"
" Brother, relax. No need to beg for mercy like that. Earlier I had asked my servant to release a sixth level semi-eternal aura to warn you not to pursue, but you guys insisted, have even teamed up with the city guards to investigate our whereabouts."
" See again please forgive brother. Then the purpose of the brothers meeting us earlier?" with a cautious attitude.
" Pure because I really want to buy a Golden Eagle. Brother, I was actually a little annoyed that my time to rest in the city was interrupted, but I am also a person of principle. How could I do such a bad thing to a good and honest person like a brother," Qing Ruo said with a friendly smile.
" Thank you brother," Xun Ping said respectfully.
" Alright, brother Ping, I'll be leaving soon. You better not have to go back to Bei Shan."
" Good brother. Once again thank you." said Xun Ping while cupping his hands respectfully.
Just now that Qing Ruo was about to move away, suddenly two forces moved closer to them.
" Swhus...." Two familiar figures Xun Ping and Qing Ruo appeared at that place.
