The Ruler
91. Hua Zuigao and Hua Zhanglao.
Qing Ruo and his entourage left the city palace hall casually, disregarding the gazes of Hua Zuigao and everyone in the room who was still sculpting. Until they came out of the room, Hua Zuigao still did not budge from his place.
The Palace Courtyard of the city.
Heian Bai and his entourage looked at Qing Ruo in surprise.
" Brother Jianyu, since when did brother Ruo level up to become a tier eight immortal Semi?" heian Bai asked through telepathy.
Murong Jianyu who was completely unaware of the secret, shook his head.
" Sister Ruo, are you sure this plan will work?" dalu Rong asked, speaking to Qing Ruo through telepathy.
" Of course I'm sure." Qing Ruo replied casually.
" But the ruler, what if they.." said Murong Jianyu hesitantly.
" I've already made them owe me. How could they refuse my gift anyway." Qing Ruo explained.
" Hopefully," Murong Jianyu said softly, while thinking about the resources he thought were so many.
" The Young Ruler turned out to be very rich, brave and so expert in influencing others, but alas, such a resource was not very useful to him," Membatin, looked at Qing Ruo respectfully, as he continued to step his foot following Qing Ruo who was moving left the city palace.

Palace hall.
" Priarch," Hua Zhanglao said in surprise to Hua Zuigao who was still speechless.
" Old man, what do you think?" While staring at the three chests that contain high-level resources.
" This is a huge resource. We can't resist, because we need it most, but if we take this resource, it means we owe it."
" Olders, what's your solution?" ask Hua Zuigao.
" Patriarch, do you remember the words that young Qing Ruo had spoken before?"
" What do you mean by the elder?"
" Cooperation" replied the elder.
" Akh... the elder is right, but .." Hua Zuigao said hesitantly.
" Patriarch, the only way is to cooperate with him. After all, the opportunity did not come twice, and begging was also not a despicable thing," Hua Zhanglao said, with a serious look.
" The great elder is right. Our main matter of reconciling with Shen Shandian Luo has been resolved. That means we can start a new relationship with them, by becoming a clan of their allies" another elder argued.
" But if we beg, isn't that something very shameful? moreover, what was our previous attitude, which did not even show the slightest respect," Hua Zuigao said, making the room return to silence.
The few eldest who had previously insulted Qing Ruo's level of strength, fell silent. The explosion of a level eight semi-eternal aura, unleashed by Qing Ruo earlier, made their bodies shudder.
" Priarch, the longer you make a decision, the further young businessman Qing Ruo leaves this place," Hua Diu said in a loud voice.
" Diu er," said Hua Zhen pulling his sleeve.
Hua Zuigao looked at Hua Diu, and nodded his head.
" No one leaves the palace. Besides, I also don't want to see that silver chair anymore.." cupped his hands together, looked at Hua Zhen and his entourage who were still speechless respectfully.
" Supreme Elder, come, come" Hua Zuigao said carrying Hua Zhanglao, moving away from the place.

Somewhere else.
Qing Ruo brought Heian Bai, Dalu Rong and Murong Jianyu to a simple tavern, and had a casual chat with them, he said, while sending a message to Hu Shan and his entourage to leave the city through the Eastern fortress.
" Bai Brother, Brother Rong, until the time comes, we will meet again" Qing Ruo said respectfully.
" Brother Ruo, we will be looking forward to that time." Heian Bai said excitedly.
Qing Ruo nodded her head, looking at the two figures respectfully.
" Take care of yourself. Be careful in acting. Remember to always protect Luo Xing, and become stronger." While handing the storage ring to the three of them, it contained fifty evolved immortal peaches.
" Sister Ruo, this is." said Heian Bai and his entourage doubtfully.
" accept. I want you to be strong" he said with a friendly smile.
Qing Ruo shook her head.
" If someone else gets his share, then how can you who are my brothers get nothing. Accept it. I'd be very disappointed if you refused my gift..." With a serious face.
Heian Bai and his entourage could only nod their heads.
" Thank you" they said sincerely, then continued their casual conversation.
" Brother Ruo, tell us often" Heian Bai said.
" good. You too," he replied, speaking of many things.
Towards Afternoon, Hean Bai, Dalu Rong and Murong Jianyu left Hua city through the west gate, returning towards the fortress of the Northern border defense forces, to return to the sky imperial Palace.
After Heian Bai and his entourage left, Qing Ruo who was still in her place, smiled to herself, feeling the two fifth level semi-immortal figures who kept watching her movements.
Leisurely, Qing Ruo then walked out of the humble tavern, continuing his journey towards the eastern gate of Hua city.
Five kilos of meters later, after being in a slightly quiet place, Qing Ruo suddenly felt the aura watching her getting closer to him.
" Come out," Qing Ruo said leisurely, standing waiting for the two figures to appear before him.
" Swhus..." Two high-level elders of the Hua clan appeared before him.
" Young Ruler Qing Ruo," said the two elders, introducing themselves as Hua Liung and Hua Huan.
" Old Hua Liung, elder Hua Huan, speak up," Qing Ruo said kindly.
" Young Sovereign, the two of us specifically represent patriarch Hua Zuigao, would like to invite you to the city palace," Hua Huan said respectfully.
Qing Ruo let out a long sigh, then shook her head.
" Older, I really have an urgent matter somewhere else that I need to settle down immediately," Qing Ruo said seriously, making the two elders stiffen.
" Young ruler, please. Come even if it's just for a moment. Thus, we can explain to the patriarch and the Great Elder that we have really worked and sought you out." Hua Liung pleaded.
" How important is this?"
" It is very important young ruler," Hua Huan replied quickly.
" If it's important, then why should you do it?"
" Young ruler, actually the patriarch and the Great elder from the previous afternoon had already conducted a search, yet they failed to find you." Hua Huan explained.
" It's really weak. How could a city leader not even know the whereabouts of others who were inside his own city," Qing Ruo said, making Hua Liung and Hua Huan instantly speechless before him.
Not long after, Hua Zuigao and Hua Zhanglao arrived at that place.
" Young ruler," they said greeting Qing Ruo respectfully.
" The patriarch, the great elder," Hua Liung said, looking meaningfully at Hua Zuigao and Zhanglao.
" Old Huan, elder Liung, thank you. You two go back first, we will follow," Hua Zuigao said.
" Alright," Hua Liung and Hua Huan replied, then moved away from the place.
After the two elders completely left, Hua Zuigao then sealed the place.
" Young ruler, I am Hua Zuigao personally as well as the entire Hua clan, apologizing for our actions that were completely unworthy before. If the young businessman deigns, let me invite and entertain the young ruler once more." With serious attitude.
Looking at Qing Ruo's agitate who seemed to be uninterested in Hua Zuigao's invitation, Hua Zhanglao directly tried to influence Qing Ruo.
" Young ruler, There are many important things that need to be clarified, especially regarding our relationship with Shen Shandian Luo, as well as the main residence of the Hua golden family with the silver residence of Hua Zhen. Young ruler, we want you to return to the palace and discuss the matter and witness the peace between the main residence and the Hua Zhen residence" Hua Zhanglao said with a serious face.
Hua Zuigao was so happy when he saw Qing Ruo's reaction that he started to get interested in Hua Zhanglao's statement.
" Young ruler, to be honest, we Hua clan no longer want to be hostile to Shen Luo, so this kind of thing needs to be discussed seriously" Hua Zuigao said, in a serious manner.
" Serious talks like what the patriarch wants. If we just talk about something like that? Isn't everything clear. There is no more hostility between us. After all, I've also already compensated that I shouldn't have given." with a cold gaze, it made Hua Zuigao and Hua Zhanglao who had previously felt the explosion of the eighth level Semi immortal aura from Qing Ruo's body speechless, with cold sweat.
Hua Zuigao who felt that he had mispronounced fell silent. Looking at Hua Zhanglao meaningfully.
" Young ruler, in fact we want to cooperate with you," Hua Zhanglao said, making the place suddenly quiet.
