《The Great Ancestor》A walk through the Town

Advertisement

Lan woke up with irritating sunlight again barging on his face, making him further want to promote learning of Spirit Arts. He must make someone proficient enough to remove this thing from his roof. It was not like he did not try using brute force, he tried but without destroying the roof he was not able to remove this Spirit Diagram.

This is the thing about this Spirit Arts, they take centuries to put but are firm like Mount Tai unless you use proper decoding. And the one who drew this diagram should be in coffin, so Lan was forced to wake up early.

Lan did not let the small thing trouble him. Today was the day he was going to go incognito to search for information. He named this Operation 'Hidden Great Ancestor Going to the City to Search for Information.' He felt the name sounds good, as expected of him.

Outside he beckoned his already waiting gang member Rin and started walking toward Compound's Main Gate.

"Lad Rin, today this Ancestor will allow you to help me navigate in city, we will try to stroll through some suspicious areas and discover some truth. This glorious adventure will be written in historical records as GAGSI, you will be mentioned as second in command. So prepare yourself and put this on, we need to be inconspicuous as possible."

He handed newly bought hooded brown cloak to Rin and put one on himself.

Rin hurriedly pulled out her head from phone. Yesterday she found out few other feature of this artifact. As her predecessor said 'you have new world just waiting to be discovered', Rin cannot disagree. Phone was simply a new world. She studied whole night still she was barely using few functions.

But diligent Rin did not forget to wait upon the Ancestor. She mentally promised to guide ancestor to most suspicious places. She put on brown colored cloak which barely hid her face and instead made them more eye-catching. But she rounded it up as generation thing. She took out her phone and got beside Ancestor,

"Ancestor, to commemorate this historical event we will tale selfie." With that she did not wait for Lan and took few pictures quickly.

Lan mentally face palmed, Sure enough this thing ruins people, but noticed Rin is not afraid of him that much now. But he didn't care; 'I will slap few people to death in front of her, she will get back her bearing, hu hu, for now I need this gang member.' He also noticed even without filters he looked awesome.

At front gate Guards easily recognized Great Ancestor Lan, after previous blunder everybody already memorized whole ancestry, never know when someone crawls out from tomb. They hurriedly shouted greeting,

"Great Ancestor Lan!!" and kneeled.

Lan was very happy with this gesture, he also mentally praised this guards for recognizing his awesome aura even with him hiding himself. But he just snorted,

"Humph! This Ancestor is going incognito you better not reveal me otherwise, humph!"

He ended with powerful snort and walked away. Rin did not manage to catch timing of all that so she missed excellent snorting moment. She made quick note to practice snorting and followed Lan looking proud with chin raised high, still it was difficult to type while raising chin, "One more thing to practice" she muttered.

Lan strolled through the city for half a day. He visited many suspicious places such as place which is suspected to sell rotten fruits, some bath which does not replace their water regularly, etc. After all, his sources of suspicious things were gossips of old housewives told to him by gang member Rin. Overall he summarized this city as 'poor as fuck'.

Four lane road surrounded by small shops and big houses, occasionally beast drawn luxury carriage will pass when most people will bow their heads, sometime some bigshot will stroll with his entourage; which will be scolding people on streets to keep distance, in short this is place where Cultivators with powerful background ruled with iron fist, common people were barely surviving bye doing some small business; which will be heavily taxed, barely enough to eat, mortals were fully depended on powerful families. Cultivators born from common family will slave away for big one and so on. From the information he got this was 'Dog eat cat and cat eat mouse world'.

'Still as the one heralded as Great Ancestor nobody can touch me. But for safety purpose I should stick with current family and command them. It is always better to be king than soldier, right?' Lan once again confirmed his decision to reform Situ family. He followed after Rin.

"Ancestor, the one we are heading toward is most suspicious place of all, I kept it for last. This vender was suspected of using sea water fish on his 'Fresh water fish skewers'. Many people are suspicious of him. He is around next corner."

Situ Rin enthusiastically led the way. She was so proud of herself for having all this knowledge which can help Great Ancestor, especially the last one; she had eavesdropped on Aunt Chen for that. Aunt Chen is still known for her discerning eye in whole village.

Lan followed after girl which was literally skipping. They got many weird glances since they arrived but nobody disturbed them. Lan was sure that the camouflage was working nicely.
