Preparation... on the way

After finishing zhu mama gently came with the Snow White heavenly fox fur coat and tied the ribbons for her.

Then with everyone she went to join the elders for breakfast. Even though everything was prepared but still zhu mama and the elders felt something was lacking telling the servants to add this and that.

Upon seeing Yusheng they saluted and sat to have breakfast. Sensing the anxiousness of everyone " everybody though it's my first time going out of the valley, it will certainly be not the last. After the selection there will be times when I will stay out of the valley for longer period of times so do not worry it's also another hurdle for me to pass."

Hearing her even though unwilling everyone calmed their mind.

"Master it will take 3 hours to reach dragon city, we have selected top 5 disciples from the valley to help and keep on eye on selection, also we have a villa prepared where we will be residing until the end of selection. It is close to the imperial palace, the other side and behind is covered up by biju forest."

Yusheng nods her head "first elder we will directly stop at the banquet place it would be a waste of time to go to villa just for a short stay and travel to banquet hall.

We will also be able to check on the preparation for banquet as it's a banquet hosted by us. Afterwards we will return to villa and rest while also preparing to go to the banquet held by emperor for me."

Everyone accepted the decision, soon it was time to set out. Standing on line were seven exquisite big carriages with each having the flag carrying Medicine Valley's insignia.

The first three carriages belonged to the three elders then was her's after her was for the disciples, her maid servants, and finally carrying

menservants of elders.

Her carriage was the biggest one, the crown of carriage was inlaid with gold, the body totally made and furnished from red wool sandal.

After the salutation and good wishes from everyone that came to see her off she stepped inside her carriage and soon they set out one after another making a majestic view.

Inside the carriage was only she and zhu mama. The inside of the carriage was very grand like a small room. It had a arhat bed, foot holder a recliner in the middle was dragon carved treasured table which can be extended half hand longer, several compartments to store things.

The floor of the carriage was floored with soft white fur, at the corner of the door was an arm tall shelf to put her shoes. Her window from inside can be slided while the outer layer was made from heaven silk making it easier to see outside without opening the outer layer.

After they reached half way, they stopped near the stretching lulu river for a short bathroom rest. Before traveling again she called first elder to join her.

Soon there was only first elder and Yusheng the table now extended with freshly brewed pot of her favorite tea and some light snacks, while in the middle was board of xiangqi( chess).

While placing her piece she started the conversation "the biju mountain I will take from the emperor, it will serve as one of the important base in coming years"

Hmm,, that place is very nice and because it was a remnant of previous dynasty it is rumored that a curse has been placed upon that place. Also in the innermost area is rumored to be the graveyard of the previous dynasty., but the question is will the emperor give you that mountain? What if he becomes suspicious? ....expressed first elder while placing his piece.

"He will more than happily give me the place, because he wants something that only I can give"....replied Yusheng.

Taking a sip elder asks.. and that would be ??

"Legs for his son... as we all know his most loved and legitimate son born second from empress named pei Jin has been ruined, unable to stand.

There's no one in this world that can cure him and the emperor knows it as he have searched high and low for all possibilities.

Only my divine butterfly and divine feather art can heal him. And these art can only be mastered by Master of medicine valley hence making me the only person in this world that can cure his son's leg."

Elder nodded his head while scrunched his nose accepting his defeat... seems like I would not be able to win over you ever.

Though scrunched deep inside he was genuinely happy as this game shows ones breath of mind, and wisdom when played seriously.

After other little chit chats and loosing another round at qi finally they were short to 5 minutes ahead before reaching the gate of capital city. So first elder left the carriage and entered his own, while zhu mama also came back to Yusheng.
