Chapter 87: The Thorny Flower Garden
Chapter 87: The Thorny Flower GardenYu Ruomei and Yu Fenglian stood side by side, watching Aldrian’s group now prepared to continue their journey. The Yu family manor was slowly regaining its vigor, standing stronger each day. With these two direct bloodline members remaining, it remains to be seen whether they can sustain the momentum and rise to their former glory. However, Aldrian believes they will ascend even higher than before.
Many people passed by within the manor, they were new recruits who had passed the test and volunteered to join the Yu family, though they would serve as outer members. The support from the three great sects had also made Yu Ruomei’s efforts to rebuild and restructure the family much easier.
No noble families dared to obstruct the Yu family’s resurrection, not even their past rivals or enemies. With everything in order and the Yu family on the right path, it was finally time for Aldrian and his group to continue their journey.
Though it was still early morning, Aldrian and his group stood outside the Yu family manor. The meeting with the three great sects was set for tonight, but Aldrian wanted to visit the Thorny Flower Garden first.
Yu Ruomei and Yu Fenglian’s eyes moistened as they bid Aldrian farewell.
"Take care, young master, and have a safe journey."
"Young master, will I be able to meet you again?" Yu Fenglian asked.
Aldrian smiled at them and replied to Yu Fenglian,
"Of course you will. When the time is right, and I have some free time, I’ll visit the Yu family manor."
Hearing this, Yu Fenglian smiled, determined that by the next time they met, he would have become a more reliable person.
"Goodbye, at least for now. When I hear of the Yu family again, I hope it will have reached even greater heights." Aldrian and the others cupped their hands, a gesture returned by Yu Ruomei and Yu Fenglian.
The mother and son watched the silhouettes of the four figures as they walked further away, leaving behind their mark on the city.
Aldrian and his group then made their way to the teleportation station, completing the usual procedures before their number was finally called. Just before stepping into the teleportation portal, Aldrian glanced back at the distant, solitary peak.
It was a strange feeling as he recalled his first arrival. When he had first emerged from this portal, two mighty mountains had pierced the sky with their twin peaks. But now, only one peak remained. Sooner or later, he thought, this city might have to change its name.
He smiled and stepped into the teleportation portal.
---------------------------------
The Thorny Flower Garden was a sect located on the western side of demon territory, bordering the Dwarven kingdom, Forgeheart Kingdom. It could be considered the sole behemoth of the western region, as its vast domain nearly covered the entire area. Even a small portion of its territory bordered the Buddhist sect, and no other power in the region could rival it.
As soon as Aldrian and his group stepped out of the teleportation station, they were met with the familiar bustle of a plaza. Aldrian glanced around and noted that this place wasn’t much different from Dual Horns Peak City, except for the absence of the twin peaks. The only mountains in sight were the distant ranges far away.
According to Xin Haotian, despite being visible from here, those mountains were a six month journey away by horse. Beyond them lay the Forgeheart Kingdom, their next destination. But for now, they needed to find an inn for their stay. They were currently in the city of Blooming Flower, the nearest city to the Thorny Flower Garden sect.
The sect itself was still a few hours travel away, situated atop a vast forested hill outside the city’s border, a secluded spot, undisturbed by the city’s noise and activity.
After some
-----------------------
Meanwhile, Aldrian, still enjoying his stroll with Eleine and Sylphia, suddenly sensed someone running behind him. He quickly realized it was a woman, but though she seemed to be heading toward him, he chose to ignore it, assuming she might just run past. Just as he thought she would, she suddenly shouted.
"Wait!"
