The Capital of the Yuan Kingdom

Jennie strolled around the street and wandered around. She didn't have any particular place to see, but the condition of the street in the Yuan Kingdom was highly interesting.

The emperor seemed to be someone who loved to receive new ideas and things.

Coming to the end of the street, she found a training hall. Compared with the training hall where she first learned martial arts, this training hall was huge.

Since her appearance was that of a man, she felt that it was not wrong to try coming here.

"Excuse me," Jennie greeted.

A student came and looked at Jennie with a question. "Is there anything I can help?"

"May I request a pointer here?" Jennie pointed towards the main hall.

The student nodded. "Let me take you there."

"Are there a lot of people coming every time?"

"Yes, many people are interested in the martial arts of this kingdom. Our prince is benevolent and lets us teach it to outsiders."

Walking inside, Jennie could see the number of people practicing was plenty.

Each of them was busy training alone or with a partner. Their way of training was interesting, and some of them even birthed new ideas in her mind.

She wanted to try them all when she returned and designed a new training method.

Coming to the hall, Jennie felt that the world was really small. The prince she encountered on the street turned out to be here.

She couldn't help but feel worried; the gaze that the prince gave her was not ordinary. She felt like he had just found something interesting for him.

"Prince Ashan, there is a guest."

"This humble one greets Prince Ashan," Jennie bowed respectfully.

Prince Ashan looked towards the 'young man'. Similarly, he felt that the little boy who came here was not an ordinary one.

It has been a long time since he could feel any danger from anyone. Most of them were war veterans, but this little one was a young refined scholar.

He is truly similar to me.

The two of them unknowingly thought the same thing.


Prince Ashan nodded his head and took the wooden sword from the side.

"Let's spar."

He threw one of them to Jennie. Jennie received it with ease as she nodded.

She too wanted to know just how strong this prince was. The student by the side widened his eyes and quickly retreated.

He knew that the prince was not one to occasionally spar since he was too powerful. The number of people who could match him could be counted on one hand.

Jennie readied herself. She didn't use the concentration technique since it would make the other party think of her as an assassin.

Instead, she started to like the way she did on the battlefield.

Moving to the side, the prince's move seemed like waiting for the strike to come, but Jennie noticed the danger and side-stepped, barely missing the move from the prince.

Her sword came down towards the prince, but he too similarly retreated.

More and more people came to watch the exchange between the two of them. They were looking highly surprised.

The two of them didn't have any bulk physique and seemed more similar to that of a scholar.

Yet, when they were fighting, they seemed harmonious and dangerous.

After a long time, the fight finally ended in Jennie's victory. She heaved a sigh. "That was a good fight, Prince Ashan."

Prince Ashan nodded. It has been a long time since he felt that way. Fighting was just his hobby, but it had become deeply embedded in his bones as time passed.

"If there is a chance, let's fight again."

Jennie smiled. "I'm not from this kingdom, Prince Ashan. I come merely because of business here."

"What kind of business?"

"Trading, I'm a merchant," Jennie smiled.

The students by the side secretly rolled their eyes.

Since when did a merchant become highly familiar with martial arts?

With your skill, you were more suitable to become a general or even an assassin.

Why would you spend your time being a merchant?

Prince Ashan was similarly stunned. Then, he laughed.

"You're a really interesting merchant. May I know your name?"

"You can call me Jayn Kim" Jennie answered.

"Jayn Kim is it? Do you have time to take a stroll with me? I want to have a chat," Prince Ashan pointed toward the back door.

Jennie nodded. They walked towards the back door while the students finally got back to their training. None of them dared to interrupt these two.

The two of them began talking about martial arts. The ideas that Prince Ashan had were really interesting.

If she should say, the prince was highly knowledgeable about various kinds of martial arts. It made her have a lot of interest in the martial arts of this place.

It took them hours to finish talking. And the reason they finished was that they were already hungry for skipping a meal by talking.

Prince Ashan sighed. "If only you come from beyond the river, we might have another chance to meet in the future."

His words made Jennie intrigued. The Yuan Kingdom was located near a big river, bordering the kingdom with a kingdom across the river.

Jennie only knew that beyond the river was another big civilization, but they didn't have contact with each other as the river was truly wide and deep.

There should be little chance for them to meet, right?

"Isn't it hard to make contact with the people beyond the river?" Jennie probed.

Prince Ashan laughed. "This may be considered so outside the Yuan Kingdom.

But in reality, we have been trading with them for a long time here. No, it's more correct to say that you're the one trading with us for a long time."

Prince Ashan's words made Jennie stop in her tracks. She stared at the man before her with bewilderment.

Why did he suddenly admit it?

"I'm sure the reason you come here is that you're curious, am I right, Jayn?"
