Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1632 – Don’t Dare to Enter the Palace

“My name is Leftover Dog and I am a dog under the lady. I have offended you by coming to Long Island today and I beg Lord Min to save my life.” Leftover Dog was polite and respectful when he spoke. In the next instant, he fainted.

Lord Min’s expression stiffened and he wanted to leave the bastard who called himself a dog to die on the spot so as to not disgust his eyes. However, after thinking about it, he did not dare to do so. After all, it was not appropriate to beat a dog in front of its master. Furthermore, the dog had brought words from its master.

Lord Min did not manage to evade the eyes of the lady this time, and he was not confident that he would succeed if he tried again, no matter how careful he was.

“Sins…” Lord Min laughed bitterly and waved his hand, “Bring this lad back. Be careful, he is about to die.”

In fact, things proved that Lord Min had overestimated Leftover Dog. He was not only about to die, he was stubbornly hanging on to the last thread of life. It was like he took a bumpy road to be lifted up. When he was up there, he looked like he was going to take his last breath with every few steps that the servant took.

Lord Min jumped in fright and he quickly asked the servant to put Leftover Dog down. He pressed an acupuncture point for Leftover Dog and slapped his chest. When this did not help, Lord Min could only grit his teeth and pull out a jade bottle from his pocket. He carefully took out a pill and ground it into powder before shoving it into Leftover Dog’s mouth.

“This damn bastard. He should have died a long time ago, why did he have to last until he got to me? If he died, everything would have settled. In your next life, open your eyes wide and have a careful look!”

Lord Min was fuming at the injustice and he felt pitiful. He swiped his sleeves off and walked away as his servants hurried to follow after him.

As he led the group, Lord Min’s eyes were as dark as the night sky. Occasionally, his eyes would flash with brightness.

Leftover Dog, hehe. It actually is a good name!

He thought about Leftover Dog’s background and why he ended up in this miserable state. Lord Min was fuming and he wanted to slap Leftover Dog and reduce him to dust right now!

What did that lady want to do? Did she really think that he would not dare to kill?

A day later, Leftover Dog woke up. His first sentence made the black-faced Lord Min sweat profusely.

“My lady purposely instructed me to tell you this a day after. In her words, if you killed me, she would have personally killed your son.”

Lord Min lost it!

If Leftover Dog had been killed, he would not have heard these words. Without any preparations, there was no way he could have won against her.

He was short-sighted, truly short-sighted. He had deep secrets he hid away for so many years, but he was played with in a person’s hand so suddenly. This bastard Leftover Dog was really a dog. He truly had not been afraid of death and he abided by his master’s words.

“Cough! Leftover Dog, it is hard for you to recover from your injuries in a short period of time. We need a long term plan.” Lord Min spoke in a kind-hearted manner.

Leftover Dog bowed respectfully, “Your words are my orders. Your servant has no opinion.”

……

In Light Flow City of the West Desolate.

It was one of the main 108 cities in the empire because there was a special material there called Light Flow Tile. The city was famous because of this.

This tile could reflect a million rays of light when under the sun. However, its true purpose lay beyond just appearance.

The Light Flow Tile could accumulate a vast amount of spiritual energy of the world. As such, when used to create roof tiles, it could create a massive array. It was the favorite item of high ranked immortals and families in the city and it could form the basis of a family.

Simply put, the item was somewhat used just for show. It sold for much higher compared to spiritual arrays that achieved the same effect, and it was a best seller. It was sold even in the East Desolate Area.

Because of the riches of the city, the Teleportation Portals to Light Flow City were big. The guards also wore splendid armor and held sinister weapons in their arms. It was obvious from first glance that they were no ordinary items and it caused people to fear them.

According to an elder in Light Flow City, the past governors of Light Flow City were forefathers of Dao. Otherwise, they would not have been able to sell Light Flow Tiles at such a high price without having to worry about sales.

At this moment, a group of people heading to the capital via the Teleportation Portals were waiting silently by the side. It was evident from their auras that they were not ordinary men. After all, the price of using the Teleportation Portals to the capital was large. The price itself was enough to make many flinch back in surprise. Despite that, security checks were necessary and they were also very strict.

“Are the three of you together?” The security guard smiled and asked in a well-mannered way.

Qin Yu nodded, “That’s right. This is my lady and her servant.”

The guard spoke in a warm tone, “Please give me your identification.”

He checked that there was nothing wrong with the three identifications. However, he stared at White Iris and said, “Lord Qin, there is nothing wrong with the identification, but according to the rules, those who take the Teleportation Portals into the capital must reveal their faces.”

There was nothing wrong about this and Qin Yu was about to let White Iris reveal her face.

Right at this moment, there was a cold scoff, “Mister, a servant uses a white cloth to cover her face but you made my lady take off her hood. Was that appropriate?”

Qin Yu glanced sideways and found an overbearing young master in an expensive-looking robe carrying a hand fan. Although he addressed the guard as mister, it was obvious from his tone that he was not being respectful.

Qin Yu frowned slightly.

When this young man was about to enter the Teleportation Portal, he had a warm and respectful attitude. This was starkly different from his attitude now.

But when he was refused entry multiple times later, his face started to turn black. If this was not the area around the Teleportation Portal, the man would have ordered his burly and strong-looking guards beside him to take action already.

Qin Yu knew that beautiful females were menacing and he originally wanted to stay out of trouble and not challenge the young master. However, after glancing at Rourou’s expression, he decided to step in instead. Otherwise, the small matter would blow out of proportion and spoil his original plans. He was not afraid but he did not want to waste time!

Qin Yu turned around with a calm expression. His eyes did not waver as he said, “Young man, did your elders instruct you to act so brazenly when you are outside? Who knows, you may lose your life someday or lose your chance of reincarnation.”

Opposite him, the young master’s face instantly turned pale and his eyes bulged wide open. There was horror in them and he felt like he had been instantly dragged into a nightmare.

“How dare you!”

“Outrageous!”

The guards around him were furious and they did not know that their young master was already in Qin Yu’s trap. They yelled as they scampered over to teach Qin Yu a lesson. However, before they could take any action, they grunted weakly as they were forced onto the ground. They were unable to react and their eyes filled with fear.

The guard at the Teleportation Portal of Light Flow City had good foresight. He hurried over and quickly smiled at Qin Yu, “My Lord, please don’t be angry. You know that it is forbidden to attack anyone outside the Teleportation Portal. The laws will not be kind.”

Qin Yu smiled and took a step back. “This guard is right. It is better to abide by the laws when you are outside.” As Qin Yu stepped back, the people opposite him felt as though they had been given a great pardon. The young master panted heavily and his eyes quivered in fear.

However, Qin Yu sensed resentment deep in his eyes.

It seemed like the background of this man was good. Qin Yu hesitated but did not attack. He was daring enough to infiltrate the capital of the West Desolate; there was no reason for him to fear a young man.

The guard from Light Flow City cupped his hands together and bowed with a smile, “Lord’s words are wise. If everyone could be as forgiving and generous as you, our lives would be much more comfortable.”

He waved his hands and ordered men to bring forth a few Light Flow Tiles. These ones weren’t used to make roof tiles but were more of a display item that had good craftsmanship. Aristocrats liked to place a few of these in their study and let them shine upon their weapons.

According to the governor, this was sampling before selling, and the returns would be much greater. He did not understand but the craftsmen of Light Flow Tiles regarded the governor like the buddha. It was rumored that they would have built a shrine for him if the governor had not fiercely turned down the idea.

“This is not very valuable. Consider it as a small plaything and our goodwill to give this item to your servant lady.”

Qin Yu looked at the wise guard and smiled as he nodded, “Alright, I will take it.”

White Iris acknowledged his instructions respectfully and stepped forward to take the Light Flow Tiles.

The guard did not say much else and he turned to leave. Not long after he left, the Teleportation Portal was prepared and men shoved and cut each other’s queues to head to the portal. However, no one seemed to mind this behavior.

The young master lowered his head and headed in too. Some people’s eyes brightened and they wondered if they would be able to catch a good scene if they could rush into the portal.

Buzz –

The Teleportation Portal lit up and everyone flashed and disappeared.

The guards in the distance looked at this scene. At this moment, he could not help sighing a long breath as his expression relaxed.

“General, who was that?”

“A Ruler!” The guard smiled bitterly. He raised an arm and rubbed his face, “Some aristocrats would create trouble out of the blue. Thankfully, he was nice and he settled it. Otherwise, there would have been a situation.”

Ss –

The group of guards around him sucked in a cold breath of air.

“However, that young master doesn’t seem to have let it go? Didn’t he follow along in the Teleportation Portal?”

The guard shook his head, “The capital is deep and mysterious and it isn’t something that our Light Flow City can compare to. Since he wasn’t afraid, he must be confident. However, this is none of our business. We sent them off and that is the end of it. Whether or not they end up fighting and causing each other to bleed out is their own business.”

The other guards praised their general for his intelligence. He sent trouble away and ensured that the situation would not become complicated here.

The general was expressionless and he knew that the lord was not any ordinary Ruler. The general had always been sharp in his sensory skills. Although he did not detect anything special, he felt like the lord was stronger than his governor.

No, more accurately. He was much stronger.

It seemed that the young master from the capital ought to keep his head low and admit his wrongdoings. If he wanted to fight back…tsk tsk. He might create deep trouble with one misstep.

In fact, the young master did want to redeem himself. However, it was not that troublesome.

When Qin Yu stepped into the Teleportation Portal and returned to the capital, he directly went to seek out the general of the Defense Division. He took out an item for them.

A military token could not identify the person holding it. However, it represented that the person was backed by a great general. Hence, it was an important item.

“Your honor, please wait. I will make a report immediately.”

The guard bowed respectfully and left hurriedly without any delay.

Very soon, there were sharp sounds in the air as two figures sped towards him. One of the two was a person who Qin Yu met when he first entered the West Desolate. It was General Ye Qin of the Later Ye Family.

The person beside him was probably a newly appointed main general in the Defense Division. He was a new face to Qin Yu.

The young master observed this scene from afar and his face immediately started to turn a mixture of red and green. He dared not have any other thoughts and he fled in a panic.

Nonsense. A single token was enough to make two main generals of the Defense Division in the capital hurry over. Could he afford to offend that person? A soft persimmon could be bullied but a steel board was no playing matter. No one was a fool.

Ye Qin lowered himself to the ground and asked in a deep voice, “May I ask who you are? Why did you show a token of the military and seek an audience with me?”

Qin Yu flipped over his palm, “General Ye Qin, please take this item and hand it over to His Majesty…please inform him that the criminal dares not enter the palace and he will wait here.”

He added, “General Ye Qin, don’t ask me any other questions. It is not a good thing to know more than you need to know.”

Ye Qin’s expression faltered and he looked at the military token in Qin Yu’s hands. Then, he glanced at the brilliant Light Flow tile and he knew that it was no ordinary item. Sighing deeply, he said, “Alright.”

With that, he shot into the sky and headed to the Imperial Palace.
