Chapter 78: Ch. 37 Part 1

Doctor Shi and Jinhua upon coming to the inn to welcome Yanzhi and Xiao Ling were told that the couple had gone for a walk. They waited outside the inn keeping watch at all sides in expectations of seeing Yanzhi and Xiao Ling. Jinhua had a look of worry and anxiousness as he paced in front of the inn, he was looked at by people who by passed them. In the capital his identify as a prince was no secret so seeing him in such a state, people just glance once and walk away only whispering in very small voices afraid to be heard.

"I have seen his your highness prince Jinhua and doctor Shi." The inn owner who was informed of Jinhua’s visit to his inn rush to the inn in hurry. He bowed and greeted respectfully getting down from the carriage. Jinhua stopper pacing and watched him expressionlessly and nodded.

"Prince Jinhua is there something you dislike in my inn? I’ll change it away" the inn owner said excited with a flattering smile. The thoughts of having two big people at his inn made him wanted to flatter more and sell points, people like Jinhua and doctor Shi wouldn’t even spare a glance at his inn let alone visit. His inn wasn’t bad but it wasn’t as luxury as the inns people like Jinhua and doctor Shi would visit. He couldn’t think of any reason why Jinhua and doctor Shi chose to visit his inn but he wouldn’t let such a chance pass by him, in his mind he thought to try to be acquaintance to them.

"No, there’s no such thing. We’re here for someone else, you can go on with your thing!" in a cold tone Jinhua said bluntly. The inn owner was flabbergasted thinking which powerful person was it that had a prince of the dynasty pacing in front of a low class inn for him/her, the inn owner was very curious.

"Jinhua stop getting excited, his excellency and master Ling can get by any troubles. With their strength how can they be affected with things going on in the capital?" doctor Shi said to Jinhua in an assuring tone.

"You’re right! I’m just thinking that no one angers them...or the capital will fall without anyone even knowing how. That senior sent as our guard with only his strength half of the capital would be destroyed!" Jinhua shivered recalling his encounter with Xiao Ling’s shadow clone.

"Did you see that young master? Ah so handsome like a fairy!"

Jinhua’s ears perked up picking up the voices of the passer-byers whispering in bliss and envy. But he didn’t pay much attention to what they were whispering about and neither did he get curious. All he was thinking about was to see YanZhi and Xiao Ling as soon as possible.

Just as he raised his head up his gazed upon Xiao Ling’s approaching figure, he got excited and looked around but he couldn’t spot Yanzhi or maybe he just couldn’t recognize the person walking side by side with Xiao Ling.

"Master Ling!" he quickly walked over to Xiao Ling calling in an overly excited tone. Doctor Shi followed along him looking glad.

"Oh Jinhua! Doctor Shi! You’re both here!" Xiao Ling called back in an excited tone too, he was happy to see the friends he made in this world. "Did you wait long?" Xiao Ling asked looking apologetically.

"No, no, no. We arrived not long" Jinhua shock his head and denied, the inn owner’s enthusiasm to see the powerful person whom Jinhua waited for suddenly died seeing Xiao Ling. He had a complicated expression and a confused look, Xiao Ling looked normal to him just like any other young master from a middle class family. And the main problem was that Xiao Ling was just a ger! The inn owner couldn’t understand why a prince of all people would wait for someone like Xiao Ling. Putting Xiao Ling aside what really caught the inn owner’s attention and everyone else’s was the elegant handsome looking man who stopped with Xiao Ling. The man’s whole demeanor screamed of supreme and elegance, people stop to glance twice or thrice whenever they saw the man. That including men, women, ger, elderly, adult or child everyone glanced over and over at the man. His white skin when shined upon by the sun reflected like diamonds, his long snow-white silky smooth hair and his peculiar green eyes was to die for.

People were drawn by this beauty as if enchanted and both Jinhua and doctor Shi were not spared. Jinhua was embarrassed for staring at the man, somehow he felt that the man was very familiar but he was at loss because he didn’t know anyone this beautiful looking and with white hair. But he did know someone with green eyes, both him and doctor were confused. "Master Ling....by the way i can’t seem to see his excellency with you"

Xiao Ling snickered mysteriously. He turned to YanZhi with smiling eyes. "Xiang gong they really couldn’t recognize you!" he stated. Everyone who heard his words was stunned. The passer-byers all had one thought, the average looking ger addressed the fairy as Xiang gong! They had looks of regret and envy. The inn owner was dumbfounded and both doctor Shi and Jinhua were dumbstruck staring dazed at Yanzhi who stood there in a lazy and carefree manner.

"Master! Mistress you’re back!" Doctor Shi and Jinhua were brought out of their dazed state when Yue, Liu, Chang and the others voices sounded waking them up.

"I have seen his excellency!" both doctor Shi and Jinhua bowed at once and respectfully greeted. This action brought about dumbfounded looks of the passer-byers and the inn owner, soon everyone dispersed as if they didn’t witness a prince bowing to someone who wasn’t of royalty. With the things going on in the royal family and the capital no one wanted to be involved lest they loose their lives because of things they do not know of. Both Yanzhi and Xiao Ling had absolutely no care for such things, Yanzhi just nodded and said nothing.

"Would his excellency prefer staying at my residence or an inn.....or would his excellency rather prefer your own residence arranged?" Jinhua asked politely with uncertainty.

Yanzhi glaced at him for a moment before turning to Xiao Ling. "What would little wife prefer?" he asked Xiao Ling for he cared not where he took shelter for the time being, since they weren’t going to stay long in the first place. Xiao Ling ponder after he was asked.

"We’re not going to stay very long here, so just take us to were you’ve arranged already" Xiao Ling said to Jinhua. Jinhua looked glad. "He’s coming with us" Xiao Ling added pointing to the elderly man with them, his dirty clothes no longer looked unsightly like when Yanzhi rescued him. Yanzhi used the cleansing technique on the elderly man after Xiao Ling complained making the man somewhat presentable now. Jinhua and doctor Shi glanced lightly at the elderly man and nodded, they had no impression of the man, it didn’t matter whoever Yanzhi and Xiao Ling wanted to bring along.

Yanzhi and Xiao Ling along with their disciples got into their carriage with the elderly man. Jinhua and doctor Shi also got into their carriage leading ahead and they moved, the inn owner was left in daze and didn’t even notice that the people have left. In the carriage of Yanzhi the elderly man sat quietly and unmoving beside Yue and her siblings, he was ignored by everyone else as they chatted and laughed happily. Studying them the elderly man got to know a little bit about this odd group, Xiao Ling whom the younger ones refered to as mistress was the one who indulge mostly into people and would spare several words with them. But Yanzhi wasn’t that way, he was quiet and was inattentive to people, but with his wife and his young disciples Yanzhi was indulgent and attentive to them. But other people were like dead tress to him, the elderly man had favorable thoughts about him which Yanzhi by no means cared.

The carriage stopped after walking through a big gate, everyone got down from the carriage as Jinhua respectfully lead them. They followed along calmly being lead around in such a big house with several courtyards, they received curious stares from the servants and also Yanzhi had many servants ogling at him seductively. But all didn’t bother them at all and they had no mind for worldly things, to YanZhi and Xiao Ling they had seen and lived through many things more than this and Yue and her siblings had never once had interest in worldly things. Lixin, Xile, no. 6 and no. 7 trained themselves to not be bothered and affected by the human desires, and if it was about the fact that they were being led by a prince of the dynasty into the house of the brother of the emperor himself, that still had no affect on them as they had only little impressions. If it was first when they didn’t know who Yanzhi and Xiao Ling were as well as Yue and her siblings, then they’ll be overly excited and praiseful but now that they met such a great immortal master like YanZhi, things like the royals and emperor himself had little meaning to them.

Sitting in the room for receiving guests were Yanzhi, Xiao Ling, Yue and the elderly man along with Jinhua and his father and doctor Shi. Liu, Chang and the rest were taken to the courtyard which was cleaned up to be Yanzhi’s and Xiao Ling’s residence in their stay in the capital city. Liu and Chang were ordered to guide the training of Lixin and Xile and No. 6 and 7, since they had now settled down Yanzhi ordered them to get back in training since they’ve missed a lot of days and they were still lacking in cultivation. Tea sets were neatly arranged for Yanzhi and the rest as the servants served them respectfully, but not without sneaking peeks at Yanzhi.
