1037 Words
Ray left jedan city right after the fight with vallal family and arrived at jade water city. The security of jade water city was very strict so that no blood demon sect disciples could enter or leave.
Ray passed the security check without any difficulty.
" Are you three new here in the city? " A guard approached them and asked with a friendly smile.
Ray nodded looking at him.
" You should know there's a few rules in the city which you should never violet or the consequences wouldn't be good. First one is you can't start a fight while staying inside the city or else you'll be executed in public.
When someone attacks you, only then you are allowed for self defense, we'll judge accordingly after investigating which side initiated the battle first.
These two rules has been set up by azure sky sect long ago and had been implemented to each city which came under the jurisdiction of the sect.
You will be safe as long as you're inside the city. The city lord will also provide justice against evil. "
His words also has a hidden meaning.
Ray just smiled but ralf quickly added " Rest assured sir we definitely won't break any rules. "
" Thats better. " The guard went away after giving them a brief explanation.
" Big brother I'm hungry. Lets eat something. " Clara said shaking rays hand.
Ray took her hand walked away slowly.
' Finally we're inside a safe place where those blood demon sect couldn't get their hands on. ' Ralf felt a little relieved inside. '
Ray found an empty table at a corner of the tavern and sat with clara.
" You sit on the floor. " Clara said pointing her finger at the floor.
She said very earnestly as if it was the right thing to do. Ralf smiled wryly not knowing what to say.
" Sir you can sit here. " A waiter brought a chair quickly.
" Haha thank you. " Ralf said laughing and sat down.
" Um...young master... " Ralf wanted to say something but kept hesitating.
" You want to ask about how to get stronger? " Ray said while eating.
" Yes. Although i know my condition well but even if there's a sliver of chance.... " His voice became quieter.
" Strength doesn't come after one day of practice. Strong mind bears the strong will. Although you don't have much talent and there's a foreign object which halted your growth but as long as you have the will to get stronger there will always be a way."
" I understand young master. As long as there's a way I'm willing to give it my all. " Ralf wanted to express his gratitude, but Ray waved his hand gestured him not to create a dramatic scene.
" Young man your words are very deep and insightful. " An elderly man who was sitting on the next table said to Ray approvingly with a smile.
Few younger people were also sitting next to him, it looked like they were his disciples. Maybe the elderly man was from a middle level sect.
Ray smiled back at him.
After finishing the meal Ray, clara and ralf left the tavern.
" Excuse me little brother may i have some of your time? " It was the same elderly man from the tavern. Few young boys and girls were behind him. They observed Ray curiously from head to toe.
" Sure no problem. " Ray nodded.
" I forgot to introduce myself I'm Brayan an elder of grass sword sect. Its just a middle level sect not much. The thing is..." At this point Ray interrupted him and said " You want to take me as a disciple?"
" Ah...hehe little brother is so smart. You just came to this city and no place to stay. If you join our sect then you would get a place to stay and there's many benefits you can get after joining. Why not think about it? " The elderly main said in one breath, full of enthusiasm.
" Okay." Ray agreed directly. Ralf felt a little confused.
Elder Brayan laughed heartily.
" Are you sure you want someone like me who doesn't even have any cultivation. " Ray asked.
" A pearl can shine even in night no matter what. You have a rare temperament which can hardly be seen among younger generation. I believe you can achieve something great in the future. " Elder brayan said, his words were full of sincerity.
" Who knows maybe you just brought a wisp of fire in your house without realising it. " Ray laughed and said.
" Maybe the wisp of fire will be the only source of brightness. " Brayan countered.
" I still want to look around the city for a while so I'll find you at the sect later. " Ray didn't say anything. He knew that the guy was hellbent on making him join the sect.
" Sure sure.... " Brayan happily led away his disciples.
" Young master why did you suddenly agreed to join his sect. Maybe he have some hidden agenda. " Ralf whispered in rays ear.
" No need to think so much. " Ray smiled and shook his head.
Ralf didn't say anything anymore.
" Umm master, is there any specific reason for you to invite that young man earlier? " Along the way a disciple asked Brayan. They couldn't contain their curiosity about why an elder of their prestigious sect would invite an unknown person, who didn't have any shred of cultivation.
" Yes master, does he possess some kind of unique aptitude? "
Hearing their questions Brayan shook his head, his brows furrowed into a knot, contemplating something.
" Its just an instinctive feeling, the moment i saw him it was like i was seeing someone unique, but i don't know how to describe it. Maybe its fate. I don't know whether he possess any special aptitude or not but he is no ordinary kid for sure. "
The disciples didn't understand what he was talking about, they could only tilt their head dumbly.
