Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 44 Master

"Hoo-hoo!"

The wind howled.

It was getting closer!

From afar, one could already make out the silhouette of Luochuan Imperial City.

Before long,

Luochuan Imperial City was clearly visible before Qin Qing’s eyes.

"I originally thought Tianjue City was already majestic enough, but compared to the Imperial City of Luochuan, there is still a great difference!"

Qin Qing looked down at the Imperial City of Luochuan below, feeling awestruck.

Luochuan Imperial City, seen from afar, stretched on for thousands of miles.

Amidst city walls that resembled four massive crouching dragons, countless high towers and grand buildings rose and fell in succession, nestled and towering endlessly.

Compared with Tianjue City, Luochuan was not only more magnificent but also had an imperial aura that permeated the entire city.

"Over there, in the middle, the yellow palace with glazed tiles covering the buildings, is the royal palace of the current Great Qian Dynasty..."

Standing atop Da Bai, Jiang Ruorong pointed towards the sprawling palace complex in the distance.

Qin Qing nodded. The Great Qian Dynasty’s royal palace was situated amidst a moat green as jade.

It seemed shrouded in haze, indistinct, due to the presence of a Formation, which although allowed outsiders to behold the grandeur of the Imperial Palace as a whole, rendered its interior inscrutable.

"We’ve arrived!"

As they neared Luochuan Imperial City, Jiang Ruorong had Da Bai descend.

"Within the Imperial City, no one may fly at will." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Entering or exiting the city can only be done through the city gates, and one must submit to inspections!"

"This is for the security of the Imperial City. Actually, to be precise, it is to ensure the safety of the royal family and its relatives."

"Above the Imperial City, a City Protecting Great Formation has been arranged. Random flying could easily trigger it, and one might be shredded by the Formation."

Jiang Ruorong explained patiently to Qin Qing.

The two entered through the city gates, where heavy guards were stationed.

Qin Qing glanced briefly and noticed that among the guards, there were not a few Martial Cultivators of the Divine Might Realm who were Great Martial Masters.

Beyond that, there were even Martial Dao Masters keeping watch.

They entered the Imperial City.

The streets within the Imperial City were even broader than those in Tianjue City.

Moreover, the Martial Cultivators coming and going on the streets were more numerous and powerful.

Besides, many Martial Cultivators were accompanied by spirit pets.

Just like Jiang Ruorong, after entering the Imperial City, her White Eagle followed behind her and Qin Qing.

When the White Eagle walked, it stood upright like a human, its large claws pressed against the ground, looking quite proper.

Along the way, Da Bai’s majestic appearance, along with the young male and female duo of Jiang Ruorong and Qin Qing, also quite impressive, attracted the attention of many passersby.

However, when many people noticed the Mansion Soldier’s attire on Qin Qing, they couldn’t help but frown slightly.

How could a young talent like Jiang Ruorong, with an obviously extraordinary background, be walking alongside a mere Mansion Soldier?

Qin Qing and Jiang Ruorong, of course, did not pay attention to the gazes of others, and the two quickly arrived at the Great Qian Martial Institute side by side.

The Great Qian Martial Institute covered an extensive area as well.

Although it was not as grand and expansive as the royal palace, it possessed the solidity and age-worn sense unique to the land of Martial Cultivators.

In terms of historical antiquity, the Great Qian Martial Institute and the Great Qian royal palace were not much different in age.

At the dawn of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Great Qian Martial Institute was jointly established by several of the founding heroes. Over the years, it had produced countless talents for the Great Qian Dynasty.

As Jiang Ruorong walked through the Martial Institute, every place she passed drew attentive gazes.

"It’s Senior Sister Jiang!"

"Senior Sister Jiang and her spirit pet, Da Bai."

"Who is the person walking with Senior Sister Jiang?"

"He doesn’t look like one of our Great Qian Martial Institute’s. I’ve never seen him before!"

"Judging from his attire, he should be a Mansion Soldier, right? He might be running an errand for Senior Sister Jiang..."

The various disciples of the Martial Institute were all engaged in lively discussion.

From time to time, some would even approach Jiang Ruorong to greet her proactively.

However...

In the presence of the other Martial Institute disciples, Jiang Ruorong reverted to her cold and frosty demeanor, completely different from the attitude she had toward Qin Qing.

Before long...

Jiang Ruorong led Qin Qing to a courtyard.

"This is Master’s residence," Jiang Ruorong said.

"Mm!"

Qin Qing, unable to contain his excitement, took a deep breath and walked into the courtyard.

The courtyard was not large, but it was distinctive with its small bridges over flowing water.

Not far away, Qin Qing saw Xiao Shuang.

Xiao Shuang was sitting alone on a stone chair, staring blankly at the lake in front of her, her eyes seemingly filled with worry.

"Xiao Shuang..."

Qin Qing’s eyes instantly reddened, and he walked over.

Hearing Qin Qing’s call, Xiao Shuang, who was sitting on the stone chair, was startled. She then slowly shifted her gaze from the lake toward Qin Qing.

Upon recognizing that it was Qin Qing, Xiao Shuang immediately jumped off the stone chair.

"Brother!"

Xiao Shuang shouted and ran over.

Qin Qing scooped up Xiao Shuang in his arms.

"Wuu wuu wuu..."

With her arms around her brother’s neck, Xiao Shuang couldn’t help crying out loud.

"Xiao Shuang, why are you crying? No more tears!" Qin Qing said.

"Mm-hmm, Xiao Shuang won’t cry. I just missed brother so much!" Xiao Shuang turned her tears into laughter.

"Haven’t I come now?" Qin Qing pinched Xiao Shuang’s nose.

At the side, Jiang Ruorong watched this scene unfold with a smile, feeling a touch of sourness in her heart.

"To be honest, I’m quite envious of Xiao Shuang..." Jiang Ruorong walked over.

"Sister Ruorong, don’t you have a brother?" Xiao Shuang, resting on Qin Qing’s shoulder, curiously looked at Jiang Ruorong and asked.

"A brother?" Jiang Ruorong paused for a moment and gave a wry smile: "Of course, I have a brother too. But, I have never felt what it’s like to be a sister. So, Xiao Shuang, you’re truly fortunate!"

"Mm!" Xiao Shuang nodded. "That’s because I have a good brother, isn’t it?"

"Qin Qing! You’ve come!"

"Third Brother!"

"Little Qing..."

At that moment, Qin Tong, Qin Yue, and others all emerged from the inner courtyard.

"Second Uncle, Seventh Uncle, Auntie... How come you are all here too?" Qin Qing looked surprised at Qin Tong and the others as they came out.

"Little Qing, after you left Tianjue City that day, Elder Bai brought all of us to Luochuan," Qin Tong said joyfully.

These past few days, everyone had been worried about Qin Qing.

Now, seeing Qin Qing return safe and sound, they were all very happy.

"It’s good you’re back! Little Qing, come inside quickly. Elder Bai has prepared a banquet to welcome you!" Qin Tong said.

"Ah? Master actually cooks? And he cooked himself?" Qin Qing exclaimed in surprise.

"You rascal, who are you calling old?" A hearty laugh rang out, and Bai Qiuhe also emerged: "Your master is still very young, alright?"

"Junior Qin, Master’s cooking is really good. You’ll be convinced..." Jiang Ruorong said with a smile.

A crowd of people entered the inner courtyard in high spirits.

Bai Qiuhe had already prepared a large table full of dishes.

Everyone gathered around, talking and laughing, warmth overflowing.

"Master!"

Looking at the table full of dishes, Qin Qing felt moved, looked up, and caught Bai Qiuhe’s kind gaze.

"Thank you! Master!" Qin Qing silently said to himself.
