237 A trip with Friends Part-1

Ryuu glared at the pitcher of wine which was recently bought by his teachers, he knew there was no escaping from it the best he could do at the present is to let out a deep breath calm himself down and hope for the best for the near future.

A few hours later the auction came to an end while Ryuu had finished demolishing a good few plates full of food, as the event came to an end the host spoke with a wide smile, "Congratulations for those who have managed to buy various goods today through auction, tomorrow the 2nd day of the auction will take place and I wish the buyers who will arrive good luck for their venture as for the buyers for today I would request you to stay behind as the items you have purchased will now be delivered to you."

A few minutes later the group was outside as they made their way to their place of stay as Ryuu spoke, "So when will I have to drink this concoction.", he spat the word concoction as if it was the most vile thing in the world.

As others who had heard about it simply rolled their eyes as according to them Ryuu was simply over reacting, Veena sighed as she spoke, "Normally we would have allowed you to drink it here but it would be unwise you three have already destroyed the garden/courtyard as well as made direct access from the second floor to the ground floor as such we will not take any chances after all we are guests here and there is a limit to how much we can take advantage of our hosts.", she finished as she send a stink eye to her daughters and her disciple who suddenly found the ground, the sky basically any place that was not Veena to be very interesting.

Ryuu: "So what will I be doing in the meantime, Teachers?"

Maheswara frowned in thought as he replied, "Well there is nothing you need to do today as such you are free to do whatever you like."

Ryuu: "Well then I will be taking a nap then."

It was already near evening when Cezary along with his sister Zywia arrived at the palace where they were received by Sylvana upon seeing her, the two siblings simply bowed as they spoke in unison, "This Junior greets Senior."

Sylvana nodded at that as she spoke, "Greetings Nephew and Niece how are you two doing?"

Cezary smiled at that as he spoke, "My sister and I have been fine Senior, actually is it possible to have Daoist brother Ryuuto accompany us, we were planning to visit the cultivators market today during the morning but because of the meeting we were unable to as such is it possible for Daoist Brother to accompany with us."

Sylvana spoke with a smile, "Of course why not, why don't you two wait here I will go and get him.", with that she left after she escorted both of them to their chairs.

As Sylvana went towards Ryuu's room she came across Shamiran, "Ah it is good I found you, sister."

Shamiran looked curiously at her as she spoke, "Do you need something from me?"

Sylvana: "Yes, young Cezary and Zywia are waiting for Ryuu, there are going to visit the market and what not, I hope you can…"

Shamiran smirked as she spoke, "Do not worry I will stay in his shadows protecting him, if you wish you might keep an eye from a distance after all…"

Sylvana finished Shamiran's sentence with a smirk, "Two people are better than one, well I will go and see if he is awake?"

With that Sylvana went towards Ryuu's room as she gently knocked the door announcing that she was entering, as she entered she found a sleeping Ryuu with half of his body hanging from the bed as she sighed from exasperation since he was a child Ryuu was a restless sleeper. She went near him as she let gently touched him causing Ryuu to suddenly jump up from his sleeping position only to fall on the ground with a thud he stood up with a groan at that as he spoke, "After all my training I still cannot detect you."

Sylvana smirked at that as she spoke, "Well you would one day be able to Ryuu, but enough of that your friends are here, they were hoping you would spend some time with them."

Ryuu looked confused at that, 'Friends what friends is big sister talking about?'

Sylvana: "I am speaking about Cezary and Zywia brother."

Ryuu's eyes widen at that as he spoke, "Ah Daoist Brother Cezary, yes of course although I do not know if he could be classified as my friend but as an acquaintance of course but about his sister will I have only met her once that was also she was being introduced to me as such I do not know what to classify her as."

Sylvana: "So will you be going Ryuu?"

Ryuu: "of course though I will have to ask for teachers' permission."

Sylvana nodded at that as she spoke, "Well you go and wash your face, it has drool marks all over and let me go and ask permission from my parents."

Ryuu turned bright red upon as he dashed towards the washroom leaving a laughing Sylvana behind, as he returned back to his after having washed his face he found himself face to face with Nuwa, since the first time he had met her, her presence always brought him a great amount of peace and tranquility, he gave a small smile as he spoke, "2nd Mistress I was invited by Daoist Cezary to go to cultivator's market may I go teacher?"

Nuwa: "We have been informed by Shamiran about this matter already, you may go child."

Ryuu nodded as he left Nuwa send a telepathic message to Shamiran, 'Keep him safe at the same time if the situation escalates do not worry we will back you up.', as she finished her message Ryuu's shadow simply shook a bit as an unaware Ryuu made his way to his destination.

As Ryuu reached the place where the duo was waiting he found them both sitting on the sofa sipping on some juice as he spoke, "Greetings Senior Daoist Sister and Brother, I hope I did not keep you waiting too much."

Cezary smiled as he spoke, "Nonsense brother, we did not have to wait at all now let us leave."

With that the trio left towards the market, as they made their way to the market, they came across group of four cultivators, "Ah look brother Cezary is already here, we can leave now."

One of them looked towards Ryuu as he spoke, "You are Daoist Ryuu are you not?"

Ryuu nodded as he spoke, "Greetings Senior Daoists and yes I am Ryuu."

A woman who was standing near him spoke, "Oh so you are the one who defeated my junior sister without even being an Immortal."

Ryuu frowned at that as he spoke, "Senior if you mean Daoist Sister Dora then yes I did, are you going to seek revenge for that."

The woman snorted at that as she spoke, "My junior sister challenged you and she lost no harm done, I am not going to fight her battles specially the one she picked up for fun but if you had crippled her or harmed her then….", she let loose her killing intent trying to intimidate Ryuu, only for Cezary to step up in between as he spoke, "We have places to be so I do not think there is time for frivolous activities."
