“By the way, Mr. Jinli, do you know about the Ancient Relics and the Ancient Dragon Gate?” Zhu Minng remembered to ask this.
“I can’t remember.”
“These darned kids, not a single one showed up for ss today. Later, I’m going to scold each and every one of their parents one by one. I’m so mad, so mad…
Hey, aren’t you Zhu Minng? You’re back from training at the Yaoshan Sword Sect? Is the Yaoshan Sword Sect feeding you pig slop? Howe they turned a fine young man like you so haggard?” Mr. Jinli said, his fish face full of surprise.
Zhu Minng smacked his lips, thought for a moment, and then decided it was better just to leave. It would be too tiring to exin everything all over again.
After all, in a little while, Mr. Jinli would probably remember on his own.
After visiting with Mr. Jinli, Zhu Minng made his way to the outer courtyard.
He thought it would be good to check on Zhu Yushan and Bai Xin to fully understand the whole story of what had happened.
For the major contest of forces, his father should have already arranged everything. In a few days, he would participate in thepetition as a Zhu n Disciple.
In the outer courtyard, some whitenterns had been taken down. Only in some potted nts and on the hedges, there were still some in colored flowers. It seemed that in just one day’s time, this ce had returned to its usual self.
The people of the outer courtyard were busy as ever. The absence of one person did not affect the operation of the outer courtyard at all.
Zhu Minng went to the mansion, where he saw Zhu Yushan and Zhu Qianjie discussing something with a group of merchants. These merchants should be the managers of weapon stores from various countries and city-states. They came this time not only to visit and mourn but also to seek a batch of fine weapons from Zhu Yushan’s side.
Zhu Minng sat on the side for a while, and Zhu Yushan quickly finished his business with these merchants.
Zhu Qianjie came over first. He nced at Zhu Minng and snorted coldly, “Since you’re back, why not stay in the inner courtyard, report to the elders about your safety, and run over here for what?”
Zhu Qianjie was an elder of the Family Door and controlled the financial power of the outer courtyard.
Zhu Minng responded with a smile but did not answer.
Elder Zhu Qianjie couldn’t be bothered to say more and hastily left the outer courtyard.
“Are you getting used to being back?” Zhu Yushan asked.
“It’s quite nice. I just went to see Mr. Jinli,” Zhu Minng replied.
“You, you, other children, when they return, they have to go and greet each elder in the inner courtyard one by one, but you, you only visited a talking fish,” Zhu Yushan shook his head.
“Anyway, the elders who don’t like me won’t have a better opinion of me even if I go there to exchange pleasantries. Uncle, I still want to fully understand what happened to Zhu Tong,” Zhu Minng said.
“This is partly my fault. Ever since Zhu Tong started dragon training, he has been climbing up on his own step by step. I didn’t give him much help and didn’t expect that he had already been isted among those disciples of the powerful, often subject to bullying by offspring with stronger backgrounds,’ Zhu Yushan said with great self-reproach.
“So, the instigator wasn’t just Hao Shaocong?” Zhu Minng asked.
“Yes, after the boy was brought back, one of my old friends who works as a servant in the Family Door told me. He took the opportunity toe out to gather materials and told me that Zhu Tong actually died in a gambling game of a group of dandies. This group is referred to by the younger generation of powerful disciples as the ‘Royal Young Gang’,” Zhu Yushan exined.
Royal Young Gang??
Zhu Minng had actually never heard of this before.
“They are just a group of youngsters with backgrounds and power who often hang out together, relying on their strong connections in the Imperial City tomit all kinds of evil, bringing cmity to themon people,” he said.
“About three or four months ago, a destitute rtive who once lived in our outer court had a daughter who became an apprentice in the Ancient Dragon Pce. Not long after she entered, a member of the Royal Young Gang took a fancy to her, harassed and threatened her in various ways.”
“It seems the girl eventually lost her chastity. Zhu Tong became very angry when he heard about it and beat that little beast up, which led to aplete fallout with this so-called Royal Young Gang.”
“Later on, the Royal Young Gang bullied Zhu Tong for various reasons, even killing all of his Juvenile Spirits and a Dragon Beast. Despite this, they still wouldn’t leave Zhu Tong alone, so when the gang members were drunk on one asion, they made a bet, iming that whoever dared to kill Zhu Tong during the greatpetition would be rewarded with money collected from everyone to buy a Spiritual Realm Fruit.”
Zhu Yushan grew increasingly remorseful as he spoke, for he had been busy with business all the time,pletely unaware of the bullying his son had faced from these wretches over the past three or four months.
If he could have heard of the situation, the death of Zhu Tong might have been avoided.
Zhu Tong also, to have encountered such a serious matter and not even mention it to his family!
Though they were part of Zhu Gate’s outer court, if the elders had stepped in, those Royal Young Gang members definitely would not dare tomit such atrocities!
“What’s the girl’s name, and is she still in the Ancient Dragon Pce?” Zhu Minng asked.
“Lu Ming’er, she should still be there,” Zhu Yushan replied.
“Good, I’ll go ask her.”
Zhu Minng didn’t know much about the various powers of the Imperial City; after all, he never inquired about anyone’s background when he used to bully others with his own background and power.
Moreover, because of his rtionship with Zhu Xuehen, Zhu Minng did not hesitate to act ruthlessly even against members of the Royal Family.
The Ancient Dragon Pce is a force that Zhu Minng is truly not very familiar with. He spent most of his time in the Yaoshan Sword Sect training before he turned fifteen, and the Supreme Court Imperial City was so vast that it was impossible to keep track of which powerful dragons and local snakes were inside.
The Ancient Dragon Pce is located within Elephant Hill Capital, which is backed by a vast range of mountains. It’s said that these mountains are a paradise for ancient dragons, and the people of Elephant Hill Capital could asionally hear terrifying roars emanating from the peaks of Ancient Elephant Mountain.
Compared to Waterdrop Lake City, Elephant Hill Capital is less prosperous. Zhu Minng flew on the Divine Green Holy Dragon for a long time before arriving in the somewhat remote Elephant Hill Capital.
The Ancient Dragon Pce, as the name suggests, is a force that specializes in nurturing ancient dragons. Everyone in their pce sees ancient dragons as the most powerful beings in the world and venerates them as objects of faith.
The Elephant Hill Ancient Dragon Pce is not the most authoritative or powerful of its kind; the supreme Ancient Dragon Pce is in another kingdom, whose precise location Zhu Minng didn’t know, but he heard it was so powerful that it ranked just below the Royal Family.
Besides the Ancient Dragon Pce, there’s also the Azure Dragon Pce.
The Azure Dragon Pce shares the same philosophy with the Ancient Dragon Pce, only they worship the mysterious Azure Dragon as their faith.
Those who worship giant dragons, however, are not called dragon pces or dragon halls.
Those who worship giant dragons belong to the Church, which sees giant dragons as symbols of strength capable of conquering everything in this world.
The Church’s power is also immense, having once ruled over half of the
Supreme Court Courtyard Continent and standing on equal footing with the Supreme Court Royal Family.
In fact, whether it is Sect Forest, Family Door, Pce, Church, or Academy, each has ruled over the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent during a certain period in history. After various rises and falls, the Supreme Court Royal Family eventually took over.
