Chapter 575

“Sun Ling, I’ll have to go report to the other elders, please stay out of trouble...”

Sun Shi’s eyes darted to the side for a fraction of a second to the person leaning up against a nearby building. He was dressed as one of the bodyguards that had come on the journey to the United Element Sect. At this moment he looked like he was in deep thought while looking around the premises. What he was thinking was unknown to anyone but this was a potential powder keg that could go off at any moment.

‘This is all for the future generations and the sect, I really hope that I’m doing the right thing...’

The old man thought to himself while having a hard time leaving this man with his granddaughter. There was no telling what this person would do when inside the sect. He could even decide to attack them when arriving inside, though the old man didn’t believe that even the Azure Dragon would be capable of taking out their entire sect by themselves.

Everyone was constricted by the nascent soul level to an extent. Wang Long was a cautionary tale now but his case was a bit different. He had been part of the Soaring Dragon Sect and had access to their protective formation. That demonic cultivator had a lot of time to prepare and strike at the right time. Zhang Dong here on the other hand came alone and would not have access to their formations and would be closely monitored by his people. If he did something suspicious he could just spring the alarm.

“I will, grandfather, don’t worry about me.”

The pretty girl didn’t move her head towards the man standing in the back but Sun Shi was sure that she understood the hidden order. The plan was to guide the man through all the best tourist attractions and places that wouldn’t be prone to incidents happening. With a heavy heart the old man finally departed and the young jade beauty finally turned towards the group of sect brothers and one guest.

“Let us depart then, I’m sure everyone is tired and hungry, how about we go to the Flowing Gazebo for a bit?”

“That’s a great idea young miss, don’t you all thinking?”

“Y-yes sect brother, we should depart with haste...”

The whole group was having a hard time hiding their awkwardness around the hidden expert. Everyone here was even more fearful than before as the only person even capable of protecting them was now gone. People would probably be informed about the Golden Dragon but that didn’t mean that didn’t help with the part that he could flatten them with his small toe.

‘So this is it?... Looks like a giant gazebo...’

The restaurant in question was on a little island with a huge gazebo over it. The small boat that looked similar to a gondola could move through the water canals that connected to the center of the island where people could exit.

‘I guess the flowing part referred to all these waterways.’

It was quite a sight to see rich merchants and young cultivators being chauffeured around to this place. It was an open-air establishment with the gazebo roof meant to keep the rain out. At a glance, he also noticed that there were several formations everywhere. They were there to control the temperature and also bounce the wind away. Instead, a gentle warm breeze was hitting his cheek with the stray cherry blossom petal here and there.

‘I wonder if they didn’t block the wind if these would fly into people’s mouths...’

For a moment he wanted to disable the formation to see the petals flying all over the place and into the bowls filled with noodles. On second thought however, with all these wealthy people around it would probably generate a lot of trouble for the business owner. Some young master types were here and he knew how they reacted to bad service.

‘The regular people were a bit alarmed but these guys don’t seem to be taking the threat seriously.’

The whole place was divided into booths and the ones in the center were the most exquisite. There he could see some flamboyant young masters with multiple women around them, drinking tea and playing the zither. Some were even in a poem battle where the girls cheered, it was quite an interesting sight to behold. They didn’t seem to be perturbed by the nature of the war but perhaps their parents were taking it more seriously.

‘I don’t see any older people here, some guards but no one that looks like a proper elder.’

“How about we get some spirit cherry sake, that will warm everyone up!”

“Great idea young miss!”

After arriving here everyone crowded around the young miss. He was just supposed to be a bodyguard so he remained standing while she should have to sit down. This of course ended up in an awkward display as the young woman wasn’t able to while an expert like Zhang Dong stared at her. It took her a few moments to realize that people were looking at her to finally give in and now they just waited for their order.

‘It does seem peaceful here and I haven’t even had the time to travel through this wide and open world.’

The world they were living in was truly tremendous. Ever since coming here he was locked to a section of it and unable to relax. He had traversed the lands on various occasions but it was always done in a rush. What he wanted to do instead was a slow journey together with his wife and kids that would allow them to take in the beautiful sights this place had to offer. However, this dream would have to wait as for the time being some trouble approached.

“Ah, if it isn’t Fairy Ling, what brings you to this place and why are you sitting so far from this young lord.”

The trouble came in the form of a smiling young man. Behind him stood various people, some were guards while others were part of the main sect.
