52 Chapter 52 Lingyun Long Ruo (1/2)
That dragon's shadow arrived in the blink of an eye, hanging over the sky of the carriage in the next instanct. On closer look, it wasn't a true dragon, but just a giant flood dragon. On its head was a white horn, and four claws grew out of its body. Its bones and meat hadn't fully formed and were contracted near its abdomen. It didn't have dragon scales nor beard, and its scales looked really shiny and smooth, and gave off a strong aura.
On the wide flood dragon head stood a purple shadow, a peach wood sword on his back, his clothes fluttering in the wind. His face was white and clean, while his expression looked really cold. Looking down, he patted that horn.
That giant flood Dragon suddenly descended down, making the eighteen Cloud Stepping Foals and hundreds of swamp wolves feel even more uncomfortable. Their bodies shivered as their eyes were filled with fear.
Both Yin Yang and Chuxue were startled.
Zong Shou, on the other hand, scoffed coldly.
”Tsk, it seems like this fellow loved to act cool even during this era…”
His voice was so soft such that the others couldn't hear it. But Su Chuxue, who stood an inch away, heard everything. She turned around and asked curiously, ”Young Master, you know this person? What does acting cool mean?”
Zong Shou instantly gave out an awkward smile, realizing this era didn't have such a phrase.
However, he did in fact know that person. one of the historical characters that were brought to life in the God Emperor game. It seems like the game developers had a wicked sense of humor as they actually made the personality and habits of this person exactly the same.
That person floated down from the head of the flood Dragon, as he saw Zhao Yanran he was evidently startled. After a friendly smile, wariness appeared in his eyes, ”So it's Seven Spirit Sect's Miss Yanran, what a coincidence. I am Lingyun Sect Hero Group Hall's First Seat Long Ruo! This must be Gantian Mountain Prince Zong Shou? Are you free to have a conversation with me?”
The latter sentence was said to the three on the carriage. Between his brows, many barely visible blue lights shone at Zong Shou.
Although Zong Shou's tone was filed with disdain towards this person, when he spoke to him he had to stand up straight and be solemn, not having the laziness from before.
It wasn't trying to let him have a good impression, but respect, a respect towards an enemy.
”I naturally am free, moreover I really would like to!”
Smiling as he glanced at Zhao Yanran, Zong Shou stood up and stepped off the carriage. ”Mr Long Ruo came today because of what happened at Pill Spirit Mountain ten days ago?”
”That's right!” Long Ruo nodded, and then suddenly stuck out his hand, ”Your Highness, may I take a look at your meridians?”
Although he was asking, his hands didn't show any courtesy as he grabbed onto Zong Shou's wrist. Closing his eyes as he observed, first he was surprised, following which he was deeply disappointed.
When he let go of his hands, he even sighed slightly, his tone filled with sincerity. ”Truthfully, I am here on orders to express my apologies for what happened at Pill Spirit Mountain. Hero Gathering Hall First Seat Liang Miaozi accepted bribes and has been punished to watch over Wanfeng Pagoda for twenty-four years. Pill Spirit Mountain First Seat Ling Weizi has also secluded himself to cultivate in shame. Your father has helped our Lingyun Sect in the past. For such a matter to happen has made all our thirty thousand disciples ashamed. It's the sect's misfortune to have such disciples! Your Highness, please forgive us!”
As Long Ruo said that, he gave the three of them a deep bow. Zong Shou turned away, expressing that he wasn't going to accept such huge treatment. No matter how unhappy he was towards Lingyun Sect deep down, he could only magnanimously smile.
In his heart he was thinking that this person was as polite and as warm as in the game. The way he did things was also really magnanimous.
