The Journey of the Strongest Ruler
CHAPTER 41

Upon seeing the contents of the ring, elder Bagata sighed and said thankfully. "Little Friend, thank you for everything. We will never forget all your help today," after saying that sentence, elder Bagata bowed slightly.

"We will not be able to pay your kindness," Iyon chimed in the words of elder Bagata and also bowed his body slightly.

The City Lord was surprised to see the two people in front of him bowing towards Whana. The City Lord knew very well that these two people were the High Royal Officials of the Eastern Waja mainland, but willingly bowed to the fifteen-year-old boy who only came from a second-rate family in this small Ragane City.

'Does this Rahngu family have any other background?' a question came to the mind of the City Lord.

"Sister Whana, bring this token if you go to the eastern Waja mainland! And you have to find me! Remember that! You should look for me! Making me grilled meat, walking me, helping ...," Wandira said long words like she was making a speech to the audience.

The adult woman who had previously hugged Wandira smiled seeing this.

Hearing Wandira who he knew as a quiet girl arrived - suddenly chattering more than his younger sister, Whana really - really stunned.

"Miss, that's a lot. Is there no shower?" Whana responds to the length of Wandira's sentence.

"I don't care! Remember that! You should find me!" said Wandira as if giving a hard order to a subordinate.

"Uhuk, uhuk, uhuk," elder Bagata coughed dryly but his eyes looked up as if he had not noticed the actions of Wandira.

Hearing this, Wandira immediately realized her actions and her cheeks immediately flushed to the ears. He hurried back and glared at the Bagata elder.

Whana just scratched the back of her head and smiled.

PROSPEROUS LODGING

"Is there any important news?" Sayu asked her subordinate to slick his password.

"Yes, Princess. Young Master Rahngu has returned to the Rahngu Family Residence after previously stopping to the Asuh House to accompany the children to eat and play," the subordinate reported respectfully.

After inhaling for a while, the subordinate continued his report. "But before coming from the Foster House, we saw him coming to the City Lord's Residence with three people. Two men and a girl about seventeen or eighteen."

"To our surprise, they were greeted by the City Lord and two other people who were the High Officials of the Hypajama Kingdom in the East Waja mainland. One of them is a man, he is the General of the East Gate and a woman who is the younger sister of the Empress of the Kingdom of Hipajama," the subordinate added.

Dayu and a General who were with him looked at each other, and asked the subordinate to continue the information.

"The three people who were with Young Master Whana were also the officials of the Hypajama Kingdom. But Young Master Whana did not enter the City Lord's residence and went directly to the restaurant to buy the food he would bring to the Asuh House," continued the subordinate complete his report.

"Are there any news of the existence of the two groups of families that vanished in the Deathly Forest?" Mayu continued to another question.

"Nothing, Princess. We checked into their place before. But I found no trace of anything. There was not even a trace of the fight," the subordinate made sure.

"You can go!" the order of Dayu is short.

"As I've said, this boy isn't as simple as he looks. Let's go to the City Lord's residence, I haven't seen General Banyu for a long time."

The two of them rushed to the residence of Lord Ragane as soon as the General said.

THE RESIDENCE OF THE CITY LORD OF RAGANE

In the Hall of the City Lord's Residence, Wandira recounts all the events that happened to them to the East Gate General and the adult woman until they were rescued Whana from the enemy's siege.

Wandira and the two men who were with him also asked about the origin of Whana to the City Lord.

The originally shocked City Lord could not believe that Whana who saved the three people, was happy and proud. However Whana is the youth of his city, which of course will have a good effect and will affect the city of Ragane he leads.

"All right, please rest. I have to settle some matters," The City Lord said respectfully then left the hall room.

"I guess Whana was deliberately lying to me about her origin," Sighed Wandira after listening to the City Lord's explanation of Whana and Rahngu's family.

"Therefore I and Iyon did not reveal that we are from the mainland Waja Kingdom of Hipajama but from Sewu Wangi Sect," the Bagata elder chimed in the sentence of Wandira.

"Whatever the background, it doesn't matter. Without that young man, maybe I'm not sitting here today" Iyon continued. There was a deep gratitude to his tone.

"The young man is not as simple as he seems" General Banyu said after a moment of silence.

"Uncle's right. Yesterday evening he was at the Fourth level Transformation Stage, but he was already at the Sixth level. When we asked him, did uncle know the answer? He casually replied 'ah, accidentally broke through'. Uncle, did you break through by accident?" Wandira tells about Whana's cultivation to General Banyu who is also the younger brother of his father.

Seeing the Bagata elder and Iyon nodding as a commfimation of what Wandira had said, General Banyu was not surprised and said calmly. "Do you know his cultivation now?"

"Sixth level transformation?" Wandira answered immediately.

Elder Bagata and Iyon nodded again as soon as they saw the General staring at them.

"Young General Bagata, are you sure that young man is at the Sixth level of Transformation Stage?" General Banyu immediately looked at elder Bagata seriously.

"I'm sure, General. What's up?" seeing General Banyu's serious gaze, elder Bagata immediately replied, but his mind was filled with questions that left him a little confused by the General's expression.

"What an amazing boy. The young man was at the Second level of Qi Refinement Stage, ", General Banyu said next.

"What?" the four people who heard General Banyu's words immediately cried out in unison. They were really surprised by what they had just heard.

"How can you?" three people said in unison except for Wandira.

"This is why I call it amazing. The youngster was able to hide his cultivation breath even to five levels. I'm sure you all know that the person who can hide his cultivation breath, should at least be at the Natural Emperor Stage. It was only three levels, if I wasn't at the Holy Knight Stage, maybe I would have been fooled by it as well" General Banyu explained.

"Truly a genius. With the sheer level of natural energy in the mainland of Liba and the meager resources in the City, it was hard to believe" The mature woman who had been silent at the beginning next to Wandira spoke up.
