377 CaiXi
But as soon as the Crown Prince received the news, that in the south near the Gao border, it was reported that there had been severe forest fires, Elder Yi assumed that the vermillion bird had indeed started to wake up from its slumber, so they didnât have much time. With the firebirdâs powerful ability, it is impossible to be defeated by ordinary people, he is a celestial being who lives on earth, of course, his strength is not just a figment and not everyone can face it, other than the King of Realm, of course.
ChenMing took a deep breath.
This was fate, he thought, no matter what, his younger brother Hua BaiYingâs fate was indeed not easy to just turn the palm of his hand, he had to face it sooner or later, and in order to prevent a bigger natural disaster, they had to face it together.
....
Cai Xi main street crowded, towards nigh and merchants already look busy serve their customers, that is a hub city, of course, lots of travellers pass by and it a great chances for the resident to gain more profit by it.
Crown Prince decided to walk on foot to enjoy the nice evening weather, pulled the reins of a big black horse belonging to Bai Ying, while heâs pulled by his guard, Bei Yau, who walk slowly with Chen Ming beside him. Bai Ying canât hide his excitement from the crowd around him.
âWow, Your Majesty, it so crowded, can Ying buy something?â Bai Ying asked.
Luo Xiang look around, itâs so crowded, hence they have a hard time passing through the street as fast as they can. He has no choice but to jump down from his horse to walk among the crowds. Although the entourage disguised himself as commoners, it still canât hide their persona to be the main attraction among others, gleaming clothes, shiny and smooth silk which wrap their very good body posture, indeed, their arent like the commoners, from any sight they still look different.
Lui Xiang is well aware of that, his possessiveness to his Bai Ying makes him unwilling to share his pretty concubineâs face with others, no one cant see him as much as himself. As Elder YI said, Bai Ying really has that charm on his face, thatâs why people always get attracted to him so easily,
.....
Su Lang and Ge Lu found them an inn at the end of the main street, not that far, but to go there, they need to walk through this main road.
âNope, you bought too much already, and itâs so crowded here, you said youâre so tired and want to have a rest, arenât you?â
Bai Ying pursed his lip, of course, Crown Prince will never allow him, he just ask in case he changed his mind, but no, he is not.
âYeah, Ying know that, and Ying canât wait to have my bathâ
The sun already set on the west sky not long will lose its natural lights, which replace by oil lamps which already hang on under the front roof of every building.
The entourage arrived at the only one, two stories inn on the city, which of course, there were other small other inns spread around the city, but this one is the best Su Lang and Ge Lu can found for their very respective and honourable Crown Prince and King to stay in.
âWelcome guesses, please come in, please come inâ the inn servant, more like the owner who welcomed the Crown Prince and others by himself to come in his quite clean inn. Of course, he will, Su Lang already gave him lots of money to pay in advance to reserve the whole room for tonight, how generous guesses they are, that makes him smiles endlessly in his rounded face.
Luo Xiang just lift his feet at the big door when thereâs a loud sound from the street that makes everyone turn their head.
âInsolent! How dare you fight against an elder!â a manâs voice, then a sound of sharp weapons in the air loud, some citizens already gather around to watch the crowds.
Bai Ying holds Luo Xiangâs sleeves.
âWhat was that Your Majesty?â
Luo Xiang stretch out his hand to help the young man get down from the horse.
He doesnât want to care about it, itâs not their business. He stretched out his hand to help his little concubine get off carefully from his big black horse.
âDonât mind about them Ying, letâs get off, you said youâre tired arenât you?
Bai Ying nodded.
âYes Your Majesty, I really want to have my nice bathâ
Crown Prince hold on tight Bai Yingâs hand to get in the Inn, but the commotion on the road make everyone turns their heads again.
âBoomm!â
Big ball energy exploded, which makes the people run around panic, some buildings parts collapse, two people fights in the middle of the crowds who are causing that all happens.
âRun!!â
That eventually makes Luo Xiang turn to Bei Yau. Order his man to look at what happen there. Bei Yau dan Ge Lu rush to go there.
âYes, Your Majesty!â
Bai Ying still holds on to Bai Yingâs hand tight.
âYour Majesty, what happens?â
Luo Xiang shook his head, the energy explosion to the lights, its not and ordinary fights, who those people who can make such a big fuss as that? Even the ground bit shake from it.
âThis city has very amazing fighters tooâ
Chen Ming comes near the two.
âIâm tired, can we just have a sleep, why there always some people who break the peaceful timeâ said ChenMing annoyed.
Crown Prince turn his head to the middle-aged man, who standing not far beside him, the Innâs owner, Old man San approached.
âReport Young Master, it happened for a few times already, if Iâm not mistaken, this is already the third time, last time they fought near the creek so it didnât cause too much damage back thenâ
It looks exciting, thought Bai Ying whoâs eager to watch it too, thereâs a white and red light appeared in the skies there.
âWow it looks so exciting, come on Your Majesty, letâs have a lookâ
But the Crown Prince hold the young manâs hand.
âWhat for? Itâs just two people who fighting, what exciting from that?â
âAhh Your Majesty, come on, just for a sec, can we?â
Bai Ying didnât care, he just wanted to enjoy the crowd, itâs been too long since his last excitement, fireworks or kind like that, Xin Hua Palace doesnât have that kind of tradition which make him bored to death, He kind of misses it.
âCome one, Your Majestyâ
Bai Ying pulled Luo Xiangâs hand, who have no choice but to follow him
âThis Kidâ
Arrive at the fighting scene.
Those remarkable energy come from two guys, one a bit older with his almost all grey hair, and the other one is a younger, handsome young man, with darker skin colour, big and sturdy tall body, whos already pulled his feat on stance against the older man, he smirked at the elder man who looks so furious.
âSpoiled brat! If I canât defeat you, donât call me Hei Hu!â
The elder man sped up, charging towards the young man in white, the attack was so strong aim to cripple that young man, but the young man is so agile, look like his strength is not as big as the old manâs, but he could easily dodge all the attacks on him.
âYou aged, old man, how can you fight against me? Thatâs ridiculousâ
The Young man smiled mischievously while dodging the older manâs attacks, he pushedâs the man body in very quick steps, dodging the manâs attack slides, below the older manâs feet, the older man get more furious, he opened his palms wide to blow his attack on the young man, but his blow was missed and hit the merchants carriage instead.
âPrakkk!â
âOh no, my merchandise!â
The young man smiled again, he stands up tall and charge to attack the older man, he does hit the manâs back when the man busy blow the strike in front of him, heâs so fast, even if the older man was stronger but he has a hard time to follows the young man moves, he even releases his big white wind which causes the trees around them swayed hard.
The city security officer arrives at the scene, but what can they do. Itâs so obviously the two is not their opponents.
âWhat should we do?â
Bei Yau and Ge Lu already stand among the citizens who watched the fights. Soon, Bai Ying also arrives there while holding the Crown Princeâs hand, who looks unhappy because of it. Chen Ming and also Su Lang who stands near behind them stance with his long spear.
âWow look at them Your Majesty, they look so amazingâ
Luo Xiang raise his eyebrow, this kid is so like his age, doesnât he realize that he might be the strongest among all people here, invariably, even among those two.
Chen Ming smiles with his hand crossing in front of his chest, indeed, those people just clowning around and making some fuss.
âHeh theyâre nothingâ he just grumbled,
