Trade

Ivor was standing in front of the gate with a line of people entering the city.

"Ha, this is just like any city... This realm has really developed." thought Ivor.

Ivor was waiting in line just as everyone else, there were merchants, mercenaries, and some common people.

There was a group of merchants in front of Ivor, he noticed earlier they had to pay in order to get into the city and Ivor did not want to cause any trouble.

"Excuse me good sir." said Ivor to a man standing in front of him.

"Yes, what is it?" asked the man with a bit of annoyance.

"I noticed money is required to enter, I wonder if we can trade something?" asked Ivor.

"I see nothing on you except those clothes." said the man.

"I have this sword, it is a 3rd-grade sword." said Ivor, he believed it was good enough for an exchange.

The man looked at Ivor blankly.

He thought to himself, " This man is exchanging a third-grade sword, these are swords only Inner disciples are able to get."

"Sir, this how much?" asked the man in hope of a deal.

"em... 50 gold." said Ivor, he believed he was asking for too much for such a weak weapon anyways.

"50 gold deal!" the man put a pouch on Ivor's hand.

"Good doing business... wait there is 100 gold in here?" said Ivor.

"Don't worry, this is courtesy of mine." said the man lying, he felt that if he found out the value, this guy might hunt him for scamming.

"May you have a good journey." said Ivor sincerely.

Ivor turned around and waited in line until it was his turn to go in.

"6 Silver Coins." said a guard.

Ivor put a gold coin on the man's hand and walked in.

The man looked at the coin and was shocked, 100 silver was equal to 1 gold coin. This could pay his bills for at least a few months.

"Thank You, Sir!" said the soldier while bowing.

The streets had stalls set on the sides of the streets selling animal fur, fresh meat, and many accessories. It was no different from other cities, they had adapted over the years very well but then Ivor realised they adapted for about 50 thousand years.

Ivor walked into a small inn of two stories, common people were at the bottom while nobles had the second storey reserved.

A young man approached Ivor and asked which floor did he want to go to, Ivor asked for any available space on the first floor and a room for a few nights.

Ivor had ordered a bowl of chicken noodle soup, while he was eating many young men and women entered.

"John, where are you!?!" shouted a young man dressed in a fancy suit.

"Young Master Ai, My apologies I was attending someone else." Said the young man from earlier, he was named John.

"Are you telling me, a commoner is more important than me?" said the young master.

"No, I was just a fool," answered John quickly.

"Good you know, have you seen Millie around?" asked the young master.

"She was here a few days ago, not seen her since young master." answered John.

Ivor was listening, The name Ai was up. He waited for them to be seated until he asked the youngsters about their family.

The youngsters went up the stairs and sat at a luxurious table, they order wine and food while chatting away.

Ivor stood up and started to walk up the stairs, John noticed Ivor walking up.

"Sir, you cannot go up." Said john with a raised voice, this caught the attention of everyone.

Ivor turned around looked at john and ignored the young man.

"John, I've got this." said a young man, he was the young master of the Jian Family.

"Boy, go down before you are beaten." just as Young master Jian said these words, Ivor appeared in front of him. He tapped the young master slightly, which made the young master collapse and go unconscious.

"I have no time."

The young master of Ai's family noticed Ivor coming toward him, "You better not make a step or my family will destroy you."

"Tell me, who is you Ancestor?" asked Ivor while walking slowly towards him.

"HAHA, you do not know? My ancestor was Elder Ai of Moon Sect, Nature's Sword, Elephant Ancestor's owner, although she passed away 30 thousand years ago, Our elephant Ancestor is still here and can crush you with his mind!" said the young master Ai.

Ivor stopped... he thought for a bit back into this little girl, happy girl but she has followed the path of reincarnation.

"Take me to your family." commanded Ivor.

"Are you so arrogant?" asked the young man.

Ivor was fed up, he emitted his aura which made many collapses, and the young man shiver.

"Show me the way." Ivor wasn't going to wait for any dilly dalling and chose force instead.

The young man quickly told Ivor to follow him, Ivor reduced his aura and followed him.

Ivor reached the Ai family estate, he entered and looked at a statue.

She looked like little Ai to him, the statues made a perfect replica of her face.

He walked towards the statues - Here Lies our great ancestor Ai.

Ivor knelt down and carved a flower next to the text saying, rest in peace granddaughter.

The young master heard this and thought the man was crazy, but he quickly shouted "FATHER! ELDERS! THERE IS A MAN DISRESPECTING THE ANCESTOR!"

Many people quickly appeared, few old men and middle-aged men with multiple elite soldiers.

"Who are you?!? Why are you disturbing our ancestor?" asked a middle-aged man, he was the patriarch of the Ai family.

"I was her grandfather, She was young but I had to let go." Ivor still was kneeling at the statue while touching the statue emotionally.

"You have disgraced our ancestor, you will die today." said an old man.

Next moment they could hear loud thumps coming towards them.

An Elephant, Three Small birds, and a wolf appeared.

"Ancestor!" everyone knelt down and cupped their hands.

It was Nellie, a few of the birds that were picked from Ai's journey, and a wolf that Ivor remembers.

Although he did not see them, he felt their aura's.

"Nellie, Pink, Blue, Green and Whitey. Although little Ai did not have good names, these were the names she gave you." said Ivor melancholically.

Only a few elders and the patriarch knew Nellie's name but not the rest.

"Where are the rest, I know beast has an extremely long lifespan."

Nellie quickly bowed, the rest were a bit confused but Nellie remembered Ivor's aura and face the best.

"Master! I failed you!" shouted Nellie with a sad and old voice.

Everyone was shocked, from elders to servants within the scene.

"Nellie, you did fine. We live longer than some, I am the one who failed to be there."

Suddenly the birds and the wolf realised who he was, "GRANDPA! You are alive!" said the four in unison.

"It is good to see you grow, I can see that you can rival the Soul Law stage, and Nellie your body has reached the somatic void stage. I am not disappointed." Ivor said with a proud voice.

"Master, rest of us fell in battle... Ai grew old, I promised to protect her family until you were to return." said Nellie.

"Warriors fall, be it a human or beast a warrior is a warrior." said Ivor.

"Grandpa the current patriarch is the 21st generation patriarch of Ai's family." said green.

"Ancestor, who is this man... he is so young are you sure you are not mistaken?" asked the patriarch in confusion.

"I will never forget master, the master is the man who saved Ai as a baby and raised her. He is the reason Ai came to this realm to find her grandfather." said Nellie.

"I Greet The Great-Ancestor!" said the Patriarch which was followed by other elders and soldiers.

Ivor looked at them but was disappointed with the current young master's attitude.

He was going to teach this family's new generation a lesson.
