162 The good cop and the bad cop (1/2)

Samuel: ”It is good to see you again Daoist Sir.”

Ryuu gave him a curt nod as he replied, ”It is good to see you to Senior.”, and although he spoke with a smile but inwardly he wanted to beat Samuel black and blue.

As Ryuu boarded Samuel's carriage his mind went back to a few hours ago when he had a rather interesting conversation with his sister.

Flashback~

Ryuu: ”Big Sister how did you control that assassin?”

Shamiran : ”Pretty simple brother Arrays, but do not worry your pretty head over it is something beyond your ability.”

Ryuu was astonished at that his older sisters were all so awesome compared to them, he was flicked hard by his sister on his forehead causing him to pout.

Shamiran sighed as she spoke, ”Ryuu never try to compare yourself against us we were born long before your mother's great grandfather was even thought off, we have practically millions of years to perfect our craft you on the other hand are only 15 years of age you have a long way to go.”

Ryuu had a sudden urge to tease her but decided against it he did not know why but felt as if it would the most stupid thing he had ever done, ”I know sister, but I cannot help but how should I say, in comparison to others in what position I am.”

Shamiran hummed in thought, ”I understand where you are going with this, unlike our time you do not have someone to compare to or to be your rival, but I can say compare to us you are much faster because of you are both Dao child and have a Divine body, if I remember correctly I became an immortal during my late twenties while you are already knocking on the door to immortality, it is a huge achievement since you are not anymore in the golden age of cultivation.”

Ryuu looked confused at that, ”What do you mean by that sister? Was the cultivation speed of the people different during that time?”

Shamiran nodded at that as she replied, ”The Golden age of cultivation was different the richness of Ki, the heavenly treasure, the exotic flora and fauna were different, I hope our parents have told you the story how the 'Great Divide' came?”

Ryuu nodded at that as Shamiran gained a faraway look, ”So many died that day, we thought we won then we were greeted by the sight of the hero of the hour Big Brother and his wife turning into ash because of a taboo technique but the worse had yet to pass that worthless harlot of a sore loser did something terrible we do not know how she accomplished it but we all know she did it before she was sealed she released a pulse of power we thought it to be her final struggle but then the whole realm shook as it broke apart, a pyrrhic victory for us, all we fought for got destroyed in front of our eyes so many unnecessary deaths.”

Ryuu did not know what to say to her but Shamiran shook herself from depression as she spoke, ”After that came the 'Chaotic Age', with the fall of strong cultivators and loss of major resources the people became desperate as the richness of Ki also fell and with that the speed of cultivation fell drastically to the point where if someone managed to enter Immortality by his/her 70th birthday they are thought of as a Heaven defying genius, as such Ryuu do you understand your position you are someone who could give us the run for our money when it came to cultivation speed.”

Ryuu was awestruck at that as Shamiran spoke, ”At the same time I doubt you will have the joy of having a rival, no matter how talented that person seemed to be you would easily outrun them.”

Ryuu nodded at that he knew how people would even sell their soul to the devil in order to gain his level of speed, but he knew how much blood sweat and tears he had to spend after each level up, although sparring and what not.

Currently to Samuel it seemed that Ryuu was meditating on his way to the King's palace but actually had established a telepathic link with Shamiran with her help and was currently on deep conversation with her.

Soon they reached the palace of the King, they were greeted by someone Ryuu knew, ”Ah Sir Emerick it has been a while, how have you been?”

Sir Emerick looked confused at that as he spoke, ”I have been good Sir, but please forgive me for not recognizing you.”

Ryuu: ”Ah I had hood covering my face last time I met, well it hasn't been to long actually but you might remember me as the kid whom you helped to enter the capital city with his flying ship.”
