Port harbor

After the meal Zhan Shenwei left the bright jade main city to the port together with Ji Ji.

The port harbor was built outside the city though connected to it.

Rather it could said that the city was built beside the harbor, connected to it.

It was the presence of this port that necessitated the creation of the city.

Standing at an edge of harbor, looking at the endless waters that seemed to stretch beyond what he could see, Zhan Shenwei felt nostalgic.

He remembered family, he remembered home, guardian Ye Mo, and Xia Yunzi.

Mentally mature, tall and physically imposing, he gave of a steady older feeling, even with his slightly apparent immature face.

But he was only a kid, only 15, and even age didn't even have anything to missing loved ones.

Zhan Shenwei felt lonely, sighing he moved on, walking along the harbor docks to the City guard station.

Behind following him, when they stop by the sea, Ji Ji could feel the sadness from Ji Ji.

Did immortals also have problems?, he thought

.....

The city guard port station was middly large sized and wooden fenced with various bungalow buildings in it.

Holding to parchment to be given his group captain Zhan Shenwei entered after passing the security check at the entrance.

With his city guard tag and standard city guard armour, Zhan Shenwei's identity was obvious so the guards didn't make any issue for him.

This was their peer and there was no reason to do so.

Ji Ji following behind also entered, guards were not restricted from bringing their own servants or personal, though discretion was needed.

A few was ok, but so much servants was like creating one's own force within the city guard force.

Truly, why do you bring so much of your own servants into the city guard base and stations.

if so many guards did so it could lead to chaos.

But a few to serve for certain tasks wasn't an issue, though the city guard stations also had menial workers and clerker serving.

Zhan Shenwei walked along the road way, not oblivious to where he was going.

He had already had one of the entrance guard direct him to the general location of the second group station, but the guard had told that if he had an issue locating the precise place he could always ask around too.

Fortunately he didn't, entering the building dedicated to group 2 he approached the front clerk desk and showed his assignment parchment to the clerk.

The young clerk was a petite, small faced but pretty young woman, likely in 30's.

He could detect no Spirit qi aura from her so the age was most likely true, as only the age of cultivators could be hard to truly discern.

A young looking cultivator might be old, and a old looking cultivator might be young.

All sorts of techniques, injuries, conditions or constitutions could also reflect in their outlook, and generally too, as cultivators advanced in realm, their lifespan increased so they could stay at their prime longer.

Behind him, the composed Ji Ji had been looking at everything since entering the city guard port station with a curious look.

Quite different from his rough unruly attitude.

He had never seen so much of this immortals like today before.

Staying in the lower rungs area, it would be usually to scarcely actually find a cultivator there.

Every immortal cultivator with some basis could be able to afford enough gold coins to if not at least stay in a luxurious mansion, stay a good apartment in the better parts of the bright jade City.

And the more powerful cultivators or prestigious ones stayed in the inner city.

Ji Ji was quite intimidated, feeling suppressed by even the clerks.

Grateful for the presence of his Master.

Looking at the pretty clerk too, his eyes had a certain shine to them, even a clerk was so pretty.

So much prettier and better looking than the various girls of the brothel area he visited and his axis.

But also intimidated by the lady clerk too, he composed himself, he couldn't afford be impudent.

He had a feeling he shouldn't offend anyone in this place.

He was right actually, the clerks or workers here having been in contact with cultivators possessed some means compared to the average mortal.

It wasn't unheard for a clerk to become a city guard too after a fortunate encounter.

The female clerk in seeing the tag on Zhan Shenwei's waist and with him wearing the standard city guard black armour knew at least his status, if not knowing his identity and lightly curtsied.

Zhan Shenwei nodded and handed her the assignment parchment.

Looking through the parchment the female clerk responded, " My Lord, this servant's name is Lu xi, I'd show to captain Mu's office now ".

Mortals usually addressed immortal cultivators as Lord, or Sirs, generally with an title that showed esteem and respect.

" Alright ", Zhan Shenwei replied as he had Ji Ji wait behind as he followed behind her.
