Bab 37: ~Settling Down~
They stepped out of the main hall and joined everyone. Huno walked up to the people waiting. 'Alright, let's get going,' he said and took them in. It was not quite easy, but with Chiro's help, he could do it at a moderate pace. Soon everyone was in. Huno turned to the others, Luna walked up to him and handed over a white mask. Huno smiled at her, took the mask, wore it and said to Yu Chani, 'sister Yu take us home,'. Yu Chani nodded and led the way. Xue Li, Ma Lie, Luna, Chiro and Huno followed. Everyone else was inside the place.
They stepped out of the compound only to see the patriarch and the elders wait.
'Greetings patriarch,' Huno and the patriarch greeted and burst into laughter.
'Thank you for your warm hospitality. I promise to keep the agreement made. If ever your family is in trouble, my humble residence will welcome you all,' Huno said.
'Thank you, my family will remain honest with the twenty percent,' the patriarch said.
'That would make me happy, well we will be on our way. Thank you for the reception,' Huno bowed and said. 'It is an honor to have you,' the patriarch replied and Huno left with his group. Outside, there was a carriage waiting for them. They got in and the carriage rode away.
...
The carriage arrived at the destination, and everyone got down. Huno saw ten peak ranks standing in front of the big compound gate. 'I have seen the second patriarch,' they greeted. Huno nodded and looked at the gate. There was a ribbon tied in front. Understanding why, he immediately brought Lee Wei out.
'What's going on?' Lee Wei asked, noticing the change in the environment.
'Brother, let us,' Huno said, pointing to the gate. 'I believe you should be the one doing that,' Lee Wei said. Huno didn't say a word, grabbed his right arm walked to the gate. He raised his left hand, which held Lee Wei's right hand up, before swinging it down to cut the ribbon.
'Okay, we are done. Please take me back,' Lee Wei said.
'Brother, what is your motivation to cultivate so badly?' Huno asked. 'I am only one step from the peak realm,' Lee Wei said and whispered, 'one step away from the ultimate goal, follow my eyes,'. He looked at Xue Li and then at Chiro before looking at Huno.
'I see, brother, then there's no time to waste, or else you will lose to me. When the night is young, the little lioness may dominate the mighty lion,' Huno said and laughed. Luna blushed immediately and looked away. Xue Li and Chiro laughed as Lee Wei said, 'then take me in,'. He laughed as Huno wrapped his divine sense all over him and took him in.
'Let's go in,' Huno turned and said. The gate was opened and after everyone flew in, they shut the gate. Huno flew round, inspecting the place and everyone flew behind him. Huno left no place unchecked, the whole place was a round shape having two big entrance gate at opposite direction and lots of small and big compound in it. There was a round wall covering an extensive area at the centre. This was the inner courtyard. It also had two gates that each faced the enormous gates. Huno stopped in front of one gate. There was a big compound not too far from it. 'We will build here a grand hall, this is where I would receive guest, beside it will be the administrative building,' Huno said. 'I'll see to it,' Yu Chani replied. Huno turned in one direction to the left and flew that way. Everyone followed closely without him saying a word.
Five small compounds away from the inner courtyard were a place with three big compounds close together. 'Starting with these and two compounds to the left and right all the way to the wall is the area allocated to the light guards. Break the walls and merge them,' Huno said. 'Yes,' Yu Chani replied. 'Chiro,' Huno called out. 'On it,' Chiro said and disappeared. Ten minutes later, he reappeared with everyone who was in except Lee Wei.
'All peak ranks come with me, the rest wait here for further instructions,' Huno said to the people as soon as they arrived and flew away. His group followed, and the peak ranks followed behind them.
Huno flew over eight compounds to a big open area where four pillars stood. 'Activate the array,' Huno said. 'Yes,' Yu Chani replied and took out a jade plate. Immediately, she activated the array. Four layers of blue-colored curtains covered almost the whole compound. 'I see, have the array masters begin the third set as soon as possible, how many key jade plates are there?'. 'Reporting to second patriarch, there are four minor key plate and two major, the minor can only activate the array and three has been given to first madam, brother Ma Lie and second Madam the major can control the array to the fullest, one was handed over to first patriarch,' Yu Chani replied.
'Give the last minor to Kyra, give me the other major to third patriarch,' Huno said. 'Yes,' Yu Chani replied, and did as he said. 'Haha I'm in control, I want to see who dares enter this place,' Chiro laughed and said. Everyone stared at him with complicated looks on their face while Xue Li and Luna laughed. 'Get in and bring everything out,' Huno said, looking at him. He said nothing and disappeared into place. Soon he appeared with a mountain of Qi stones that was three times the size of a big house. He disappeared again and soon reappeared with another that was half that size. While everyone was shocked, he disappeared again and soon reappeared with the same size. 'I'm tired. I can't bring the rest now. They're too much,' Chiro said.
Everyone of the peak rank burst into more shock and a great amount of respect grew in their heart. After this amount there were more, how rich was the patriarch. Was he going to do what they were thinking and turned this place to a holy land for cultivation? And of course it turned out to be so.
'It's alright, this is enough for now, (he turned to the peak rank) burst each and everyone of them within twelve hours. Is that understood?' Huno instructed.
'Yes, second patriarch,' the peak ranks replied and immediately got to work. 'The heads of the guards should follow me,' Huno said and flew away.
As he flew, he turned to Yu Chani, 'lead the way,'. Knowing where he wanted to go to she led the way to the other side of the inner courtyard. She arrived at a big compound which was isolated from other compounds. There was nothing special looking in the compound, but this was going to be the most tightly protected place in the future. She flew into the house and straight into a room on the down floor. There was an enormous bed in it, an enormous wardrobe, a cupboard, chairs and a table in it. She moved the wardrobe and raised a part of the floor up and Huno found there were stairs that lead straight down. 'An array blocks this place, so unless you find it in person, you won't notice. Divine sense can't penetrate the array,' she said and step to the side for Huno.
'Good, cover it up,' Huno said. 'You may all get back. Yu Chani and Su Qing will live in the inner courtyard,' he added. 'The energy is spreading,' Xue Li said, looking at the direction Qi stones were being broken. 'Tomorrow I'll go get more. I want the energy to be so thick it won't run dry in a few years,' Huno said. 'With so much energy the kids can cultivate at anytime and there'll be a great amount of peak rank soon,' Shin said. 'Yeah, Shin when I'm back from where I am going tomorrow we will begin the hand to hand combat training,' Huno said. 'Yes patriarch,' Shin replied. 'We are done. You all should help them out to increase the process speed, I'll put more before leaving tomorrow,' he, said grabbed Luna's arm and flew away to the inner courtyard.
Xue Li, Ma Lie and Chiro followed closely behind the two of them. They got into the inner courtyard and Huno said, 'junior sister, my queen you two choose,'. 'Junior brother Ma Lie should choose first,' Xue Li said. 'Okay, junior brother, choose wherever you like most,' Huno said. Ma Lie did some signs and Luna translated, 'anywhere is fine, I'll go cultivate, you guys should, (Luna blushed) go have fun, I won't disturb,'. After he finished, he flew away. 'I should better go cultivate, or no, I'll go around and maybe hang with the kids,' Chiro said. Almost immediately, he frowned and looked at Huno. Huno was frowning, but soon it turned to smile as he brought Lee Wei out.
'Hahaha, I did it, I did it,' Lee Wei yelled and laughed happily. Everyone one laughed too while Xue Li blushed uncontrollably. Huno hugged Luna from behind and whispered in her ear, 'let's go my little lioness,'. 'Congratulation to brother, your ultimate goal will be accomplished,' Huno said smiling as Lee Wei flew to Xue Li. 'Thank you brother,' he replied and stopped while he was only inches away from Xue Li. He took her lips before asking her and Xue Li who was blushing was caught by surprise.
Lee Wei parted their lips after a short while and Xue Li blushed while hiding her face in his chest. 'Elder sister is shy and embarrassed, she's so cute, I didn't know she had this side,' Luna teased. 'Stop teasing me, I haven't done it before not to mention in front of anyone,' Xue Li retorted, still hiding her face. Everyone burst into laughter. Chiro looked at them for a while and left while laughing.
'You… You are laughing. First you make me wait for so long then you come so boldly when I least expect, hmm don't even think about touching me this night,' Xue Li said and flew away covering her face. 'Madam, please wait. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it,' Lee Wei cried and chased after her. 'Leave me alone,' Xue Li yelled and increased the distance between them.
