Light Cultivation
Eps. 65 — Coup
The sky grew darker and the night increasingly awaited at the end of the time when Jian Chen was walking around in the territory of the Niu clan.
A few hours ago, Ziyun inexplicably took herself out of the territory of the clan government. He said he wanted to show a typical cuisine in his best friend's clan.
Meily did not come because she had to take care of her mother so now only Ziyun and Jian Chen were walking around in the village crowd.
The Niu Clan was a clan that was closed off from the outside world, not allowing outsiders to enter the clan territory for no apparent reason, he said, as well as those who wanted to enter there had to be an invitation signed by the Niu clan government.
Jian Chen thought that by blocking the society of his clan, the Niu clan residents would have difficulty finding money and food but after seeing it more clearly it seemed like the thought was not happening.
You could say the Niu clan is very prosperous, its society has material adequacy and seen from the outside of it the Niu clan is very rich.
“No wonder this clan does not need another clan as in general, it turns out they can indeed stand alone without the slightest help from outside.”.
Jian Chen clucked in awe, it was no wonder that they were the third strongest clan in the Lightning Dragon province. The Jian Clan was too far away to imitate the government of the Niu clan.
“Finally arrived too..” Ziyun stopped her steps in front of one of the restaurants. “This is the food restaurant I mean..”.
Jian Chen frowned as he looked at the three-story building. “It looks like this loan is expensive, do I really have to taste the food?”
“Majib!” Ziyun. “This is a typical food of the Niu clan, besides here you will not find this food outside even imprisoned the world though.”
“You seem to know very well the secrets about this clan?”
“Of course, because I have been here since childhood.” Ziyun smiled proudly.
Jian Chen chuckled softly, the two finally walked into the restaurant in question. Ziyun had originally invited Jian Chen to sit on the first floor but seeing his desk full left him with no choice but to go up to the next floor.
“It seems like tonight is a lot of visitors, Brother Jian let's go two.”
On the second floor did not differ much in condition, although the number was not too much from the first floor but there was no empty table.
“We're running out of places, maybe we can come here tomorrow morning.”
“Hm, how about the third floor? Doesn't that include the restaurant section as well?”
“It...”
Ziyun was actually embarrassed to answer him but he still explained to Jian Chen, in short, the 3rd floor was the most expensive floor in this restaurant, it has better service than other floors and there is entertainment such as music or dance.
Right now Ziyun did not bring much money to treat himself and Jian Chen.
Jian Chen understood Ziyun's thoughts and still took her to the third floor, “Quiet let me pay.”
For the first time Ziyun felt embarrassed as Jian Chen read his thoughts. Her cheeks look red.
On the 3rd floor there was no one, Jian Chen had to pay 5 pieces of silver to be able to sit down.
The two then ordered a dish and since Ziyun wanted to show a dish then Jian Chen equalized his order.
Two bowls are spelled with steam that billows tantalizingly, Food brought fruiting like soup but in it there is something long.
“What is this? Worm food?”
Ziyun smiled wryly. “This food I referred to earlier is called ramen, and that long one is called noodle.”
Jian Chen gulped, although the smell of his cooking was fragrant but he had no taste for eating it. Especially because it looks like a worm but in the end he still tried it.
“How do you like it?” Seeing Jian Chen's eyes open wide followed by the sound of shavings continuing to shrivel made Ziyun chuckle.
Jian Chen had to admit that this was indeed a delicious dish especially when his tongue came into contact with the broth that was eaten. Throughout his life with his first life, he just knew there was delicious cuisine.
While the two were enjoying the meal, there were 2 red masked people entering the restaurant. They occupied the two tables, the sight of one of them glancing at Jian Chen's desk then whispered to his friend.
Ziyun could not dodge the impromptu attack, she closed her eyes, not daring to watch it but after a few seconds the knife never hit her.
Ziyun then saw Jian Chen had already caught the throwing knife when the young man had been seen focusing on eating ramen,
Jian Chen's gaze instantly became cold. “What do you guys do, want to kill someone!?”
The two masked men were actually surprised when Jian Chen caught his knife, the hand movements of Jian Chen they could not see. The two masked then got up from his chair and stepped closer to Jian Chen.
“Young man, I have no business with you. Hand over the girl then we let you go.”
Hearing the masked men eyeing Ziyun's life became frightened. “Brother Jian..”.
“Quiet...” Jian Chen smiled gently. “Stay near me, I will protect you.”
Jian Chen then stared intently at the masked man. “Do you not know where you are now? Killing someone in a city like this do you intend to give up your lives?”
“Do we look afraid, if so then I will not throw the knife at the princess of the Ye.” Clan
Jian Chen frowned, those masked people clearly knew Ziyun's identity by looking at her face not to mention they dared to kill in a city like this, isn't that called foolishness rather than courage.
Had they killed, the city officials would not have stayed silent and the Ye clan would have hunted them to the end of the world.
“I will not hand it to you, if you want to kill him step over my corpse first.” Jian Chen took a few steps forward and then turned to look towards Ziyun. “Ziyun, stay behind me.”
Ziyun nodded, for some reason her heart became calm when she looked at Jian Chen's golden eyes, there was a suggestion that she would be fine as long as she was with him.
The waiters and musicians have come down from earlier to see there will be a fight.
“Haha, indeed a young man, feels like a hero before the woman he loves. Then I have no choice but to teach you a lesson.”.
After saying so, one of them
move to attack Jian Chen with empty hands.
Jian Chen smiled sinisterly, the two masked men were at the 5th stage of the Soul Realm, defeating them was just like flipping a palm for him.
Jian Chen dodged the masked man's punch for a while before kicking his stomach using his knees, making the person grimace in pain to the point of falling to his knees. Jian Chen swung his legs towards the head and this time the masked person instantly became unconscious.
One other masked person watched it unblinkingly, not expecting the slightest trace of his comrade to lose that short. By the time he wanted to escape Jian Chen had already thrown the previously obtained blade towards his feet.
The masked person instantly fell down, Jian Chen moved quickly and overpowered him. He also removed the mask.
“Who are you?” Jian Chen asked pulling the collar of the masked man.
“Brother Jian, this.” Ziyun shut her mouth when she saw that person's face.
“Nona Ziyun you know her?” Jian Chen was surprised.
“Dia... He is the army of the Niu clan!”
Jian Chen raised his eyebrows, he had not expected that the one attacking him was the army of the Niu clan itself. As Jian Chen was thinking that a rowdy voice sounded from outside the restaurant.
Ziyun and Jian Chen reflexively looked at the window then both found there were many masked people running on the tile towards the government area of the Niu clan.
The surrounding community on the street pointed at the masked people whispering to each other.
“Haha... Miss I suggest you to hide here and not return to the government building because there will be a big war.” The masked man earlier tried to stand up again.
“What do you mean?” Ziyun asked worriedly.
“Actually I was assigned to kill you but let's just say I am now doing good because you are the princess of the Ye clan. You know tonight is a long night, the government of the Niu Clan will be overthrown with a new government. Niu Zuan will lead the Niu Clan to the pinnacle of glory.”.
