The Legend of Zhu San
197: Meet Handsome Youth.
“Sorry Miss, the Book of Iron Treads you seek has not been in our hands for a long time, it has been stolen by My Teacher Brother and his wife. They nicknamed A Pair of Plating Ghosts.”
The head of the Iron Palm Sect then explained what happened over thirty years ago. And also told me that the two men were in Liu's empire, but exactly where, he didn't know.
“Do you really not know?” Qiu Lan stared intently at the Sect Leader with a sense of annoyance that he could no longer hide. “Tell me where they are or I flatten this sect of yours!”
The Sect Chief's face paled instantly. Finally he said, if rumors circulated that his brother-in-law, was in a place called the Wind Gorge.
He had sent some people there to investigate it, but they did not find the whereabouts of the two Great Ghosts.
Qiu Lan was visibly annoyed to hear him, and immediately flicked his hand towards the Sect Leader all of a sudden.
Although the head of the Iron Tread Sect had been on guard, but He did not expect that his body would be bounced to dozens of meters with a chest that was in pain.
He vomited fresh blood before he fell unconscious. Just as he was about to kill all the members of the Iron Palm Sect, Ying Yu immediately approached Qiu Lan.
“Your Highness, what the Sect Chief said was true. We've heard of a Pair of Plate Ghosts inhabiting a place called the Wind Gorge.”
Qiu Lan snorted in annoyance. He then took his two guards away from the place by floating in the air.
With the qi energy he managed to gather based on the clues of the Natural Energy Holy Scriptures, Qiu Lan's speed drifted through the air to be twice as fast as before.
Until after morning, the three arrived at Shangyu city, the Imperial Capital of Liu. The three entered a tavern to fill their stomachs. However Qiu Lan who was feeling not hungry, did not order the slightest dish.
He walked out to look for information about the existence of the Wind Gorge to a group of people who seemed to be warriors working as bodyguards of the merchants.
“Excuse me, do any of you know where the Wind Gorge is located?” Qiu Lan asked with a sweet smile.
Some young swordsmen, staring at Qiu Lan with sparkling eyes, were amazed at the beauty of the girl's face. But not with the middle-aged warriors.
“Sweetest girl, what's your name? I'll tell you where the Wind Gorge is if you say your name.” A young man who was quite handsome, suddenly just said from the back of Qiu Lan.
Qiu Lan became alert as she turned around and looked at the young man. He could feel the immense power hidden behind the sturdy body of the handsome young man.
“Do You really know?” qiu Lan asked. The young man smiled then answered Qiu Lan's question. “Of course I know because ..”
“Hei You! He asked us not you. Let us answer it!” One of the young swordsmen of the merchant guards, snapped at the figure of a handsome young man who made him stop speechless.
Qiu Lan was annoyed at the young swordsman's words. He flicked his hand towards the group of warriors.
A summary of qi energy immediately hit the group of warriors and made their bodies bounce until they fell unconscious.
“Because what ..? Continue!” Qiu Lan said to the Youth in front of him who was stunned by what he had just seen.
“True to my guess, this girl is no ordinary girl. His strength is very high. Is He looking for a teacher? What's the goal?” The young man was filled with questions.
“Because I just passed the place. My name is Gao Yan, What is the name of this Miss?” The figure of the young man who turned out to be Gao Yan, said in a watchful manner.
“Pair of Ghosts Plate! I just heard that name. If Miss Lan wants to go there I can drop her off.” The curious Gao Yan, quibbled not to know the two Teachers.
He wanted to find out what purpose Qiu Lan was looking for his two teachers. He will investigate it first by pretending to drive it.
“Alright if so, wait a minute, I will call my two colleagues.” Qiu Lan passed by leaving Gao Yan looking at her suspiciously.
A short time later, Qiu Lan returned together with Ying Yu and Yue Yin. “Can you float in the air?” Qiu Lan asked which made Gao Yan stunned.
“Does He know my strength? Interesting too. Who is He exactly?” In his mind Gao Yan said. Then he answered Qiu Lan's question.
“I was just able to do that technique, but we better do that after being outside of this City.”
“For what fatigue goes a long way.” Qiu Lan said in a voice that sounded annoyed. He then exerted his qi energy and made Ying Yu and Yue Yin as well as Gao Yan soar into the air.
What Qiu Lan was doing, made the residents of Shangyu city in an uproar. Some of the city soldiers who saw that, immediately reported it to the leader.
While Qiu Lan and the others had darted westward towards the Wind Gorge. After an hour, they arrived at a forest where there were many deep ravines.
“Which chasm is called the Wind Gorge?” Qiu Lan asked Gao Yan.
“There, look at the many small tornadoes in the abyss right? That's a place called the Wind Gorge.” Gao Yan replied with certainty.
“If I may know, what is your purpose in finding that Pair of Plate Ghosts?” Ask Gao Yan.
“It's none of your business, thank you for driving me to this place. Go before I kill you!” Qiu Lan said cynically to Gao Yan.
Gao Yan was flabbergasted to hear that, but obeyed Qiu Lan's words and floated down towards the edge of the Windfall. That made Qiu Lan become annoyed.
“Go don't make me kill you!” Snapped Qiu Lan who immediately caught up with Gao Yan along with his two bodyguards.
“Who are you trying to force me to leave the place where I've been living for the last few months?” Gao Yan replied with a face that started to look annoyed.
Qiu Lan was surprised to hear that. “What do you mean by those words?!” Qiu Lan again snapped at Gao Yan.
“The person you are looking for is my Master. What's your purpose in finding both of my teachers!?” Gao Yan asked in a firm voice.
Qiu Lan was again surprised, he felt he had an answer to the great power hidden by the handsome young man in front of him.
“So so apparently, You have mastered the Sky Turning Tread from the Book of Iron Treads is not it? You think you can hide your power from me Hah!”
Gao Yan was surprised to hear Qiu Lan's words, He was speechless looking at the beautiful girl in front of him with a watchful attitude.
