Chapter 16: Return (1/2)
”I'm happy right now” the king said.
”What?” everyone was stunned.
”My daughter has been very cold to people since her mother died. But after a long time I saw her shyness, something so that's why I'm happy”
Everyone was silent. The king looked around, seeing everyone stunned, he smiled.
”Ok that's enough battles, let's continue the party” the king said as he called the workers in the palace and told them to clean the hall.
After some time, the workers replaced the broken tables and the party continued. Du Chan was sitting beside Elder Yue, drinking wine. When he looked at the Elder from Frozen Ice Valley, she was also looking at him so he didn't look at her again.
The party ended at noon.
”Your grace, where are we going to have a duel?” the elder from the Ten Thousand Swords sect asked
”Hmm, come with me” the king said and both of them stood up.
”Thanks for attending this party” the king said to all the people in the hall.
Everyone smiled and nodded.
The king also smiled and nodded to all and looked at the Elders and smiled and started to walk to the exit.
All the elders stood up and followed him. Du Chan also stood up but a sect master told him to sit.
”This is a battle between two higher realm warriors, you should stay here and wait for us to return”
Du Chan looked at him with curious eyes. When the sect leader saw his eyes he sighed.
”You can't watch their battle. If even a single wave of their strikes hits then you're dead. So sit here” he said and started to follow the elders.
Du Chan was disappointed and sat on his chair. After some time he heard a loud metal crashing sound, it was their sword. He closed his ears and it was so loud that he felt pain in his head.
3 hours passed.
And the elders and the king returned. The king and the elder's clothes were torn.
Sect master looked at Du Chan and came to him.
”You want to know who won right?” Sect master said.
Du Chan nodded
”Of course it's the king” he said
”Wow” Du Chan was amazed
Everyone already left. Only the elders, the king and Du Chan were still in the hall.
”I'm leaving with my disciple” elder from Frozen Ice Valley stood up, looked at Du Chan and left without waiting for the others' response
”Then I will take my leave too” the elder from Ten Thousand Swords also left, he was already in a bad mood of losing so he left. Only Elder Yue, the sect master, the king and Du Chan left in the big hall.
”What about you guys?” he asked them.
”Haha, I'm not in any hurry to leave” Elder Yue said.
”Me too” the sect master said Du Chan was silent.
”Hmm. Hey kid, come here” he said to Du Chan.
Du Chan looked at Elder Yue, he nodded. Du Chan stood up and went in front of him.
”Y-Yes my grace” he said nerves
”Hmm. You have such talent and strength so here…take this as a gift of gratitude for giving me the best birthday gift” the king said and gave him a ring.
”This….storage ring?” Du Chan was shocked
”Yes, there is some gold and 2 spiritual stones in it”
”This…” Du Chan doesn't know what to do. Isn't it too much to give a storage ring as a gift?
”Just take it” the king said.
Du Chan took that ring but it was a waste in his hands. It was only useful after reaching the Blood Condensation realm
King smiled. And stood up from his throne
”There is a karma bond between us so I'm looking forward to your future,” the king said with a smile and looked at Elder Yue and Sect master.
”I will leave now. I have some important things to do. Let's talk later” the king said
”Okay then, we will take our leave too” Elder Yue said and stood up, sect master also nodded and followed Elder Yue.
”Hmm, okay” the king said and left the hall. Elder Yue, sect master and Du Chan, the 3 of them followed the king and left the hall.
King walked to his room in another building and waved his hand to the 3 of them.
Elder Yue called out the eagle. It came very quickly as soon as it heard its master's voice.
Three of them climbed on the eagle and it started to fly.
”Elder Yue, why did the king look sad back there?” Du Chan asked.
”He is always like that when he wins any match” Elder Yue said.
”Why?” Du Chan asked
