The Way of the Sword (BL)

Chapter 45: Saving the Demon Lord (1)

Lan Ruan already exchanged kindness with the forces present at that time, not that he needed, after all, his status is far superior to the cult's core disciples, but given his kind and friendly nature. Despite his fierce and unruly discipline, he still complied with these social activities. Of course, these people are sent from the powerful families of Nam Yang and the imperial representative, there are also some military men there.

However, he was watching Zemin Yan's actions, of course, that in his heart he was also praising himself when he saw the scene of the child spoiling the Horses of Hell.

"Just like the son of that heavenly couple! So how daring his parents are this child! "Thought Lan Ruan, already accepting the fact in his heart that Zemin Yan was really Song Yan, so whatever the child did would be good and admirable! He was about to be like Chu Yue and Yi Yuga, placing the child on the pedestal of his heart.

However, he was still going to see how close the child was, whether the celestial couple's son or not, he had to make sure if Zemin Yan had his memories and knew about Zhong Liang. 

"Ohh, but if he really knew who the little martial brother Zhong is, wouldn't he have been heartbroken to be treated so coldly at first by Zhong Liang?" Lan Ruan thought worried, which also made him curious, so what if the child Don't have memories of Zhong Liang and the Heavenly Sword Sect? Should he tell Zhong Liang about Zemin Yan's story or not?

"The guards just have to arrive," Hong Yu said to Yun San, the two of them were side by side with the rookie group. 

"Oh... The guards will meet us there at the arena gate," said one of the military men as if he had received a message now. This was one of the superiors who wanted to harm Commander Lin Mei-Lan, so he didn't want her to have a chance to talk to the sect's superiors. Soon a soldier delivered a message to Lin Mei-Lan and Zhong Liang, if the boy was already in a bad mood, now he was very sorry to disguise himself as a guard, he should have gone as a coachman!

While the important people were talking, Zemin Yan was playing with the horses of hell, the coachman was watching with interest, after all, it was not common for a child not to be afraid of a demonic beast and not even that these demonic beasts are of low rank, They often like humans.

The little dog stared with interest at the horse, the coachman cast a strange look at the little white dog. Sying felt a sense of danger, but when he looked with his beautiful innocent blue eyes, there was nothing wrong and the feeling also faded. 

A few minutes later the novices were divided into the carriages, each group of six people would go in the carriage with a core disciple, Zemin Yan's group went on a carriage, they all thought Yun San would go with them, but who climbed was the honorable one and powerful senior brother Lan Ruan, which shocked not only the children but also the superiors. 

Hong Yu sighed, he wanted to go with Zemin Yan's group, but Lan Ruan soon ran to the carriage, so all he had to do was take care of the group that had Bohai Xiulan, while Yun San stayed with Bai Lin's group, Hu Dewei and Huang Deshi Already the third core disciple was in the carriage ahead along with some representatives of these powerful families, being put in a very awkward situation, after all, this should be the role of Lan Ruan or Hong Yu!

How was Lan Ruan going to pass up this opportunity to build a good relationship with little Yan? So there he was putting a lot of pressure on those young people. They felt pressured by this favor! 

However, surprisingly, Lan Ruan despite his high status was very nice and kind, which minimized the situation, so the kids were talking to him easily, the only ones who were quieter were Wen Jie and Shou Zuo, for no reason older than the children, they were not so comfortable with this senior brother. 

Zemin Yan had a vague feeling that Lan Ruan was giving him a lot of attention, he even asked him to call him Big Brother Lan! 

"You call me Big Brother Lan and I'll call you little brother Yan!" Said Lan Ruan excitedly, he would be showing his soft side even more if there were no more people. After all, he was already accepting that this was baby Yan, so there was no reason not to be friendly!

"That's a big favor, big brother Lan, you don't have to be so kind," said Zemin Yan a little embarrassed. He felt a little distrust in his heart, but he would think about it later, now it was better to get along with this suspicious senior brother.

If Lan Ruan knew about Zemin Yan's thoughts, he would be heartbroken, kneel and beg for him to consider, for he is a good person!

The carriage was moving at a slow pace, which allowed people to enjoy the scenery, but as soon as it arrived in the East District it increased its speed, so they couldn't notice much. Not that the children were interested, they were anxious for the battles that would come when they reached the battle arena.

Suddenly time seemed to stop, not just figuratively, but literally, Zemin Yan looked at everyone who looked frozen, everyone had a nervous, excited expression.

The 10-year-old was startled, then Zemin Yan noticed that only he was moving, he felt something warm in his chest, he pulled the old dark hemp rope, the ring he always carried was very hot and there was a slight light radiating in the old ring. 

"What's going on?" Zemin Yan muttered, startled, then the carriage door swung open, a shadow seeping into the carriage.
