Heavenly Dao Child 181 Captain Liang Meng

Yutsuko and Tamafune checked the end result as they nodded in appreciation before turning towards Ryuu who was seating with his hands on his laps as his right leg was stretched forward while his left leg had its knee pointed upwards.

Tamafune: "You have done well Doaist Ryuu and as per agreement here are your hiring fees.", as Ryuu stood up.

She simply extended a bag full of Low Immortal tier spirit stones towards Ryuu who accepted the bag with a bow.

Tamafune: "I hope my daughter already passed the invitation for tonight's dinner to you."

Ryuu looked confused as he spoke, "Please excuse me your Majesty but what do you mean by 'invitation'."

Tamafune: "Ara so it seems my darling daughter forgot to invite you as instructed."

Tsuji stepped forward as she spoke "Mother I would have invited Daoist Ryuu but the entire fiasco distracted me."

Tamafune nodded as she turned towards Ryuu as she spoke, "Junior Daoist Ryuu, I hope you would honor us by participating at today's dinner at our palace."

Ryuu nodded as he spoke as he gave a small bow towards Tamafune, "I would be honored your Majesty."

Tamafune turned towards Yutsuko as she spoke with a smile, "Sister I would love if you would join as well it has been a long time since us sisters spoke with one another."

Yutsuko returned her smile with one of her own as she spoke, "Sister I would love although I hope you would not mind if I arrive along with the same time as Ryuu."

Tamafune: "Of course not sister well till then take care."

With that the Royal family left Yutsuko turned towards Ryuu as she spoke, "Well fellow Daoist I will rejoin with my students who should be at the hotel by now what about you?"

Ryuu: "Well it is already around time for lunch as such I will also return."

Yutsuko spoke with a smile, "Splendid I hope you would not mind if I accompany you."

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, "Not at all, Senior."

As they made their way back, Yutsuko suddenly spoke to Ryuu, "Ryuu, I would like to thank you again for helping us during such a plight."

Ryuu: "Please Senior there was no need to thank me, I just did what I had been hired for nothing more nothing less."

Yutsuko nodded as she asked, "Junior I noticed that you used 'Pre-Marijs reform tactics' when creating the array."

'Pre-Marijs reform tactics' is the way an array creation method used to work before Daoist whose real name was Marijs Mikaelson and with a very audacious Dao name 'Imperial Array Master', he was responsible for creation of Marijs reform tactics way back during the 'Dark Ages' just after the 'Great Divide', a way of creating array by simplifying in a much larger way making it easier and popular for everyone around, but it had a serious fault, it was highly erroneous when used in advanced arrays as it took the Universe into a static and steady state, which caused any form of advanced arrays practically useless.

Ryuu nodded as he spoke, "Yes senior I did."

Yustsuko raised her eyebrows as she spoke in amazement, "I am amazed at that mostly people go for Marijs reform tactics while constructing an array as it is much much easier, it seems your teacher taught you well."

Ryuu beamed with happiness as he spoke with a smile, "Thank you for the complement Senior."

As they talked with each other they soon reached the hotel where the parted ways.

Ryuu winced as he applied the ointments on the burn marks on the palm of his hands caused by using such powerful technique which he had yet to master full a forbidden technique which he was able to utilize only due to his very high understanding about Supreme Dao of Fire almost nearing Grandmaster level, could he have done the same with another technique maybe but he did not wished to technique any chances as such he has severe burn marks on his palm.

He knew he would heal soon but that does not mean it was not hurting him, his teacher makes very nice medicine and her healing prowess is really unmatched and if not for her he would have either died or would have become crippled a long time ago."

He had his lunch ordered to be delivered to his room, which consisted of Saba Shioyaki, Nikujaga, Sunomono, Miso Soup and Genmai.

Meanwhile at a distant place a figure was reading through a report written on paper her face was stoic as she went through the report, before turning towards a few kneeling figure as she spoke, "You have your orders now here take this, you are to hand this to him it would explain everything and then make sure to escort him here safely. Now you may leave."

"Your wish is our command Your Majesty.", with that the figures left the person sitting alone behind her desk finishing her job.

Ryuu dressed in elegant robe left together with the students of 'Golden Immortal Fairy Academy', while many of the students as well their chaperons including the Academy head and the elders viewed him with positive lights there were a few who were a bit wary of him due to various reasons.

As the large group approached the Imperial Palace they were greeted by the Crown Prince Yoshitoshi along with a group of guards dressed in ceremonial gear, "Welcome Honored Guests, we are honored with your presence, please follow me."

They were then escorted to a large guardian where many people were already present, some of the people from the academy went on to greet people whom they knew prior to arrival, leaving poor Ryuu alone once again causing him to feel a bit of déjà vu at the situation presented in front of him, 'I hope this will not be the repeat of Kitopia, and I hope the Emperor and Empress arrive soon I will then be able to finish my dinner and make way to my hotel room.'

Suddenly a herald announced loudly, "Presenting the ever glorious, magnanimous Emperor of Habakar Dynasty, Emperor Tsuramatsu,…..", Ryuu turned a blind ears as the herald droned on and on about all titles and achievements and what not.

Soon the Emperor arrived along with the Empress by his side closely following them his two daughters and his future daughter-in-law.

Ryuu was glad to see them as it meant now he could finally have his dinner and then take his leave.

Emperor Tsuramatsu: "Greetings our Honored Guests, I would like to express our gratitude on behalf of 'The Habakar Royal Family' for gracing us with your presence now I wish for the feast to begin."

Since the arrival of Ryuu most of the people were stealing discreet glances towards him, but it turned into gossip as Tsuji made her way towards Ryuu as she spoke with a smile, "Daoist Ryuu I am glad you came."

Ryuu simply replied back with a smile, "Me too your highness."

Tsuji: "Well please follow me and allow me to introduce you with my father."

Ryuu nodded at that as he was brought in front of the Emperor who was sitting on the throne.

Tsuji: "Royal father I would like to introduce you to my savior as well as the person who saved us from the dreaded 'Famine God's Lotus'."

Tsuramatsu studied Ryuu briefly as he spoke, "Daoist Ryuu I would like to express my sincere gratitude for saving my daughter as well as my people."

Ryuu simply bowed as he spoke, "Your majesty I only did what was necessary for any cultivator in my position."

But before any of them could speak a guard came rushing as he kneeled hastily as everyone's undivided attention fell on him waiting for Tsuramatsu's order, "Guard why have you disturbed the feast."

The guard spoke from his kneeling position as he spoke fear evident in his voice, "Your majesty a contingent of some armored troops amounting to 50 has arrived in front of the palace each of them are cultivator of immense strength they are here requesting audience with one your honorable guests Your Majesty."

Tsuramatsu frowned as he ordered the guard to escort only the leader of the said contingent.

Soon a tall person of near 8 feet in height clad in blood red armor his flowing cape showing the marking of twin black dragon each other from their tail came forward.

Everyone was scared their hair rising near their neck while they were sweating heavily as they were faced with a person of immense strength as everyone understood a simple truth that none of them had any ounce of chance of survival against the person.

The person came forward before he feel to his knees and bowing towards Ryuu as he spoke, "Captain Liang Meng of the Ouroboros regiment of the Royal Guard greets Prince Ryuu." Causing everyone present at the scene including Ryuu, to get shocked at the sudden revelation, as they watched the immensely powerful person kneeling and addressing Ryuu as a 'Prince'.
