Chapter 42 The old man and the girl

Tiandou City.

There was a huge flow of people on Xingdou Avenue. As the imperial capital of the Tiandou Empire, the bustle here was far from comparable to that of the small Notting City. As far as the eye could see, there were almost all human figures. To move even one meter, one had to find every possible opportunity.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Hurry up!"

Suddenly, a stern and rough shout came from the end of the avenue, and the sound of rapid horse hooves sounded.

Then, the flow of people began to become commotion, rushing towards both sides in panic. Some people didn't know why, but they were surrounded by the crowd, so they could only follow and move away from the street.

More than a dozen riders rode past on the street, not paying attention to the civilians on the street who had not yet moved out of the way. If someone was too slow to move away, the rider would hit him with a whip, and for a moment, the wide avenue was covered with water. It showed a scene of chickens and dogs jumping around.

"Have you blinded me? I'll help you if you want to die. Get out of my way!" The knight was wearing the clothes of the Royal Guards, and his aura was terrifying.

A dozen knights led the way, surrounded by a young man who looked to be in his early twenties.

The young man was dressed luxuriously and had an unruly expression. He looked disdainfully at the civilians who were getting out of the way, with a trace of disgust and disdain in his expression.

To him, there is no difference between these civilians and ants. He can take their lives with just a few words.

"Who is this? I'm so disgusted. This guy is so crowded."

Beside the street, the girl who was pushed by the crowd pouted her lips to express her dissatisfaction.

"ah!"

The person in front of her took another step back, but she couldn't dodge. Her toes were stepped on and she twitched hard. However, the person in front of her suddenly let go. She was immediately at a loss. She stepped on the foot behind her and her slender ankle sprained. He tripped and fell backwards, crashing into the arms of a young man.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." The girl quickly stood up and apologized to the boy behind her.

"It's okay." The young man was very kind, shook his head with a smile, and explained to the girl, "You must have just arrived in Tiandou City, right? That person is Xue Beng, the fourth prince of the Tiandou Empire. He travels quite domineeringly on weekdays. Most people don’t dare to mess with you.”

The girl blinked and looked at the young man, and found that the young man in front of her had delicate cheeks, a pair of eyes as deep as the starry sky under the broken hair, and was wearing a silk and satin dress with gold threads. He seemed to have an extraordinary status.

"Thank you." The girl stepped away from the boy's arms, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and the warmth in her waist was still there. Her eyes were slightly averted, not daring to look into those deep eyes.

"Haha, young man, it seems that you are very familiar with Tiandou City." Hearing this, the old man on the side stroked his beard and looked at the boy and girl with a smile.

"That's not true, but I came here a few days ago and have already found out everything about Tiandou City." The young man smiled, shook his head at the old man and said, "When I first arrived in Tiandou City, there were as many nobles as dogs here. The teacher is running all over the place, so naturally he wants to find out who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked, so as not to bump into any noble person in the future and end up badly."

"There are as many nobles as dogs? Soul masters are running all over the place?" The old man couldn't help but paused while stroking his beard, then smiled.

The girl on the side also burst out laughing.

This was the first time that the two of them heard someone address a noble and a soul master like this. These two people are regarded as noble beings on the entire continent. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are almost unattainable and can only look up to them all their lives.

Every civilian would bend down involuntarily when facing them, not daring to take any offense. Not to mention the verbal ridicule.

He blatantly compared nobles to dogs, and implicitly compared soul masters to...well, some kind of wild animal. This kind of behavior is really treasonous in the eyes of others.

From this sentence, it can be seen that the young man actually does not care about bumping into the so-called nobleman. Obviously, either the young man has an extraordinary status, or he is also a soul master and has the confidence to not be afraid of being troubled.

Suddenly, the old man thought that this time was the beginning of school season, and the boy in front of him could be the same...

"Young man, I see you are not very old, and you came to Tiandou City to study?" The old man did not feel offended by the young man's words. Instead, he asked kindly, "Is it Tiandou Royal Academy?"

"No, I have a first-level innate soul power and a mutated martial soul. The road of soul master is not far." The young man cupped his hands and said humbly, "Therefore, my family allowed me to enter Yuexuan to study etiquette."

The young man was none other than Cheng Xiao, who was sent to study at Yuexuan by his uncle!

His second soul ring is a thousand-year soul ring. Before he can find a more reliable force to join him, it is better to hide his strength for the time being. Otherwise, he will have no roots and no one, and everyone will want to take a bite of him and explore him. The secret about him.

Although with the shadow soul beast he now controls, he is no longer afraid of some prostitutes coming to find him, but instead of spending energy on dealing with those greedy people, it is better to hide his strength and avoid trouble.

When the old man heard this, he secretly thought it was a pity. The girl puffed up her cheeks and looked slightly disappointed. She thought she could enroll in school with someone.

"Old man, is your granddaughter preparing to enter Tiandou Royal Academy?" Cheng Xiao gleaned some information from the old man's words.

"Well, she is too lazy, but fortunately she barely meets the enrollment requirements of Tiandou Royal Academy." The old man said with a smile.

"Grandpa!" When the girl heard this, she stamped her feet coquettishly.

"Oh, then your granddaughter is quite talented." Cheng Xiao complimented casually, not taking it seriously at all about whether she was lazy or not.

This is true for all elders. If you verbally say that your children are not good enough, if you really take it seriously and go along with it, you may make others unhappy again.

"However, Tiandou Royal Academy is not in the city, what are you doing?" Cheng Xiao asked slightly.

"I just arrived here and I'm not familiar with it yet, so I came here to take a look around." The old man said, "There's nothing in the way. Let's visit an old friend by the way."

"Do you need any help? I have been here for many days, so I am somewhat familiar with Tiandou City." Cheng Xiao asked.

Cheng Xiao is not a warm-hearted person, he is a guy who can't afford to be early without profit.

Although they only exchanged a few words briefly, Cheng Xiao was able to analyze a lot of things.

Tiandou Royal Academy not only recruits students based on their grades, but also has certain requirements for status. Even if Shrek's entire academy went there, they would open their doors to welcome them. In fact, for ordinary people, Tiandou Royal Academy has an invisible and intangible threshold.

What's more, Cheng Xiao could tell from the old man's behavior that their status was definitely extraordinary. They didn't have the awkwardness of common people when they first arrived in a place. After hearing Xue Beng's identity, there was no trace of envy or inferiority on their faces. look.

Obviously, the old man was not a bad person to interact with, so they didn't have much feeling about Xue Beng's identity.

Such a person is worthy of his friendship.

"Hmm..." The old man touched his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Cheng Xiao, as if he was guessing Cheng Xiao's purpose.

Sorry, the transition was too difficult to write. I struggled for a long time, deleted, revised, and re-edited the outline. I was still not satisfied.
