Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch 37's. Disappointment of the Emperor's Daughter
At this moment, the eyes of the three Sect Chiefs were filled with shock upon learning the identity of Elder Chao Pao. They regretted not getting rid of Zhang En which would be a hindrance to their plans in the future.
After that, the three of them then left the Empire and returned to their respective sects.
Emperor Zhu and Chairman Xin Long then came over to Elder Chao Pao, "Senior. Thank you for coming to help" said the Emperor.
"Emperor Zhu. Don't hesitate, I'm just a little help" replied elder Chao Pao.
The Sect Chiefs who were behind the Emperor only looked at Elder Chao Pao with disdain. There was a trace of fear in their eyes and saluted Elder Chao Pao after recognizing him. Not only that, they did not expect that Zhang En was a disciple of Elder Chao Pao.
Who does not know Elder Chao Pao? He was a legend of the No 1 swordsman in the much feared Ming empire and was well known in his prime.
All along, Elder Chao Pao had been in seclusion for a very long time and decided to cultivate peacefully away from the crowd. Were it not for visiting and saving his disciple, He would never have come out of the Forest where he had lived all this time, what else would have interfered in all the affairs of the martial world.
After talking for a while, Emperor Zhu then called the Imperial General to clean up and repair some of the destroyed buildings and told everyone to disperse from the place except for 3 of them to stay.
Emperor Zhu invited Elder Chao Pao as well as Chief Xin Long and Zhang En to enter the palace to chat and entertain them accompanied by the Empress and Princess Yhu Zhu.
"Senior, It's been a long time since we met. What made the elders come to visit here?" Ask Emperor Zhu.
"I just want to see the progress and watch my students alone at this year's imperial Tournament".
"Haha.. I'm very lucky that the Elder has already come. Otherwise, surely today's matter will cause chaos".
Elder Chao Pao just nodded his head while drinking the wine that was on the table.
"Chairman Xin Long. Is there anything you want to say?" ask Elder Chao.
"mmmmmmm. Elder, sorry before for being presumptuous to have wanted to make Zhang En a disciple and have chosen him to be my successor" Chairman Xin Long said slightly unwell.
"On that matter, I don't blame him, if you want to guide him to become his teacher, I don't mind for his good and future either". Elder Chao Pao said as he glanced at Zhang En.
"I also want Zhang En to learn a lot and continue training to be able to replace my position in the future" Elder Chao Pao said.
"Senior Thanks. Even if I'm not as good as you are, but I'll do my best".
Hearing their words, Zhang En only took a slightly heavy breath. He knew that at this time, he had to grow stronger after knowing the mastermind of the village massacre and his family. For the sake of avenging the Black Crow Sect, he had to continue to grow stronger.
"Teacher. I promise I will continue to train to continue to grow stronger, I will go with Grandpa Xin Long to the Red Dragon sect".
"Well if it's your decision, if you have time, don't forget to visit your teacher".
Secretly, Princess Yhu Zhu who had heard all the talk in the room was very happy. How not, even though she was the emperor's daughter, but she was also a core disciple of the Red Dragon Sect. Automatically, he would be able to meet with Zhang En.
There was a smile on the girl's tiny lips after learning that Zhang En was a disciple as well as the successor of Sect Leader Xin Long.
"Chairman.. Coincidentally my daughter is also a disciple of the Great Elder of the Red Dragon Sect" the Emperor said as he introduced Yhu Zhu.
Elder Chao Pao glanced at the young girl sitting next to the empress. Princess Yhu Zhu immediately put on a smile and introduced herself, "Older, my name is Yhu Zhu Xuan".
While Zhang En was a little surprised to know that the girl was a disciple of the Great Elder of the Red Dragon Sect. But he just put on an ordinary face did not show surprise.
"Elder, it seems that Zhang En and Princess Yhu Zhu look very suitable" Chairman Xin Long said.
"aha. I also feel the same way as you" Elder Chao Pao replied with a cold laugh looking at Zhang En. Elder Chao was a little confused to see that the student looked ordinary without showing any interest.
While Princess Yhu Zhu was delighted to hear their words, what else when the Emperor connected Chairman Xin Long and Elder Chao's words, "How about we match them up?"
Emperor Zhu who had seen for himself Zhang En's talents and abilities was already interested, what else after learning that the young man was a disciple of the Legend. Just wait for the time the young man will become the greatest swordsman and want to build a relationship from now on by matching his daughter to the disciple of the Legend.
The queen also seemed to approve her husband's words. He also wants his daughter's prospective partner is someone who is strong and can be relied on in the future.
"If it's that, I agree. We just have to ask them both whether we want to or not" Elder Chao Pao replied.
"Yhuer, do you agree if I match up with him" the Emperor asked his daughter while looking at Zhang En.
"mmm.. Father, I will approve all of father's decisions" Yhu Zhu replied shyly and lowered her head.
Emperor Zhu smiled with satisfaction at his daughter's reply as there was no rejection from her daughter's words.
"Zhang er, do you want me to be a match for Yhu er? ask the emperor to Zhang En.
Zhang En did not directly answer the Emperor's question. Indeed the beauty of Princess Yhu Zhu was beyond doubt, but she still had not thought about it what else in her heart was currently only a Lie Hue.
Zhang En still had a calm face, but he really did not know what to answer to the Emperor. After a long time of thought, Zhang En did not want to make an immediate refusal and did not want to offend the Emperor.
"Sorry emperor, for the time being I have not thought of getting there, I am currently focused on increasing my cultivation alone" Zhang En replied giving a reasonable reason.
Emperor Zhu only shook his head at Zhang En's reply. He could not force the young man either.
"alright. It's okay." said the Emperor with a slightly hopeful face despite looking a little disappointed.
Emperor Yhu Zhu's daughter felt her heart so disappointed, her eyes looking red wanted to cry. But he did not want to embarrass himself in front of the young man any longer in front of his own father. Princess Yhu Zhu then stood up from her seat and ran towards her room.
The empress saw her daughter leave just like that, asked for permission to leave them and immediately met her daughter. Elder Chao Pao and Chairman Xin Long were speechless.
"Chairman, sorry about my daughter's attitude"
"Haha. Emperor Zhu, I should apologize for not knowing what to do. If it's a matter of feeling, we can't do anything".
Zhang En felt bad about feeling guilty towards the Emperor. They finally ended the Emperor's banquet after telling him many things over the course of several hours.
"Emperor Zhu. Thank you for the banquet today" said chairman Xin Long and elder Chao Pao.
"Thank you to both of you".
