The Legend of Zhu San
199: Heading to the Wei Empire
“Certainly true, quickly kneel against His Majesty the Emperor!” Ying Yu yelled at Gao Yan. However Qiu Lan's remark later, made Ying Yu and Yue Yin surprised.
“Shut up! Maybe in the future you guys will kneel to him!”
Of course the minds of the Two Death Flowers were filled with questions. They smiled at him when they realized something.
“Looks like His Majesty the Emperor liked the young man. It would be a good thing for the Hun Empire if that Yan Youth were to join us.”
“Young Master Yan, Forgive my sassy words earlier.” Ying Yu immediately apologized to Gao Yan. Gao Yan nodded his head, then asked Qiu Lan.
“Your Majesty, where is His Majesty the Emperor's destination after from here?” Gao Yan's voice sounded a little clumsy as he uttered a call to Qiu Lan.
“Brother Yan, don't hesitate. Just call me Lan’er. Since it seems like you are older than me, can I call you Yan Gege?” Qiu Lan asked with a wide smile on her lips.
Gao Yan looked puzzled for a moment. But seeing Qiu Lan's attitude like that, inevitably Gao Yan also obeyed him.
“Well Miss .. Eh Lan’er. Are you going back to Hun Empire?” Ask Gao Yan. “True, will Yan Gege come with me there?” Qiu Lan asked half-expecting.
“I have never entered the territory of the Hun Empire. Looks like this is my chance to adventure there.”
Gao Yan's enthusiastic reply, was greeted with a sweet smile by Qiu Lan. Finally the four of them headed to the Hun empire by floating in the air.

One morning in the Qing Empire, Zhu San and Bian Chi were seen drifting away from the Palace, accompanied by the Mother's sorrowful gaze. Empress Qiang Ji.
Both of them floated two hundred meters in the air and moved swiftly towards the Wei empire. In addition to searching for and capturing Qiang Cao, Zhu San also intends to fulfill his promise to Monk Thio San to visit the Temple of God's Light.
They stopped several times and asked the villagers as well as the city, about the location of the God Bell Temple Sect. Finally, after four stops, they found out the location of the temple.
The arrival of the two in the sect in the afternoon of that day, shocked all of its members. They were seen screeching as they saw Zhu San and Bian Chi hovering down from the air.
“Who are these Ladies and Gentlemen? Why come to our grieving Sect?” Asked one of the guards of the Temple Gate to Zhu San and Bian Chi.
“Sorry Elders, my name is Zhu San and this is my wife Bian Chi. We are here because Elder Thio San requested it, can we meet with Zen Monk Lung?” Zhu San asked after returning the salute to him.
Zhu San then revealed the identity that mentioned his name. The gatekeeper monk chatted briefly with his comrades.
Moments later, he approached Zhu San and Bian Chi and escorted him into their Sect territory to the place where Monk Peng Hao was.
“Ah welcome to our humble Temple, I have long awaited the arrival of both of you. Let's please enter.” Monk Peng Hao invited Zhu San into the building where he used to meditate.
He had indeed been told by Monk Thio San about the impending arrival of the two youngsters to help them, reclaiming the Natural Energy Scriptures from the hands of Qiu Lan.
After making small talk, Monk Peng Hao finally gave his information about Qiu Lan's departure towards the South to the Wei Empire's territory.
After an hour there, Zhu San and Bian Chi said goodbye. The two of them immediately floated in the air towards the south. Hoping to get a clue as to where Qiu Lan was.
“Chi’er what if we search to the Imperial Capital of Wei? I feel like I might be able to find the Goddess of Death and who knows can get information about your Uncle Qiang Cao.”
Zhu San asked as they were in the air, hovering higher than the birds flying in the air.
“Alright, but if we find a city, we eat and rest first. I want to change my dress.” Answer Bian Chi.
The two then drifted faster towards the northeast towards the Imperial Capital of Wei called Hangwei City.
“San Gege see there's a Big City ahead there. Let's rest first. “ Zhu San said through his telepathy, upon seeing a large city in front of them.
Both of them immediately descended quite far from the city gate. By showing his identity, they were allowed to enter the city called Wenzhong.
The city was not inferior to Shangyu, the Imperial Capital of Liu. They walked long enough to finally find a large restaurant and look very crowded.
“Chi’er we eat here only, it looks good cuisine. Many visitors who come to this restaurant.”
Said Zhu San who immediately stepped into the restaurant after Bian Chi nodded as a sign of approving what he said.
The two also entered the Dining House which turned out to have many chairs and tables. The eyes of the customers stared in amazement at the beauty of Bian Chi who was becoming careless because of that.
“Maybe in this City there is no girl as beautiful as you. So don't be mad at them for looking at you with that admiration.”
Zhu San said telepathically, as he saw his wife starting to look angry at the annoyance they kept staring at.
Bian Chi's anger subsided as they had sat at one of the deserted tables. The two sat near three people wearing the same sign.
The sign is a picture of a crow in front of the left chest. A sign that shows they are the same group.
While waiting for the dish that had been in the message to come, the two accidentally heard the conversation of the three people which made Zhu San, immediately listen carefully to their conversation.
“Does our Chairman benefit greatly by helping that person?” Ask one of the members who looks the youngest of the three.
“I'm sure like that, because I heard the news if that person was a wealthy noble from the Qing Imperial Palace.” Answer the other excited members.
“Decrease your voice, lest any enemy spy hear it.” The figure that looked the oldest warned his colleague who spoke in a slightly loud voice, from being too excited.
“Ah why should be afraid, in this City no one would dare to offend the Black Crow Sect.” Answer the other partner. He laughed a little with pride.
“Is that noble really rich? Ask the youngest member.
“Of course, because of the information I received, that nobleman was once Emperor of Qing , before his sister's coup.“
His colleague replied casually, unaware Zhu San and Bian Chi who had sharp hearing, hearing the information.
