Chapter 369 Hometown Yueming (1)

Soon, a middle-aged aristocratic man in rich clothes came to Lu Yuan and Bone Douluo with a group of attendants.

After he saw Lu Yuan, he trotted over with a fearful expression on his face, "The Marquis is here in person, and I apologize for the delay in welcoming you from afar."

Needless to say, he is the original city owner of Notting City’s Sky Cinema.

He's a nice person, but his attitude is too humble.

But Lu Yuan didn't know that the moment Emperor Xue Ye granted Notting City to him, all the former officials in Notting City became his retainers.

No matter how humble you are to your master, it is not too much, because who the current lord of Tianying City is can be changed by Lu Yuan with just a casual word.

Even the empire has no right to interfere with Lu Yuan's decision. In order to keep his position as city lord, it is not an exaggeration for the city lord of Tianying City to be more humble.

After all, this is about your own preparation work!

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, "What do you call me?"

"I am Cheng Chao, the Lord of Tianying City." Cheng Chao said respectfully, "I welcome Lord Tianyinghou to visit me personally."

"These two are..." He looked at Bone Douluo and Xiao Wu behind Lu Yuan and asked.

"This is Bone Douluo, the Supreme Elder of our Seven Treasures Glazed Sect." Lu Yuan said immediately.

After hearing the name Bone Douluo, Cheng Chao and the soldiers standing nearby were startled, and then wanted to kneel down.

They didn't know who Bone Douluo was. In a small town like Notting City, ordinary people might not even know how powerful the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect was.

But they knew what kind of person the word Douluo was after the word - Titled Douluo!

In the small cities on the border of the empire, many people may have never seen a soul saint in their entire life, and it may even be rare to see a soul emperor or soul king.

Not to mention people like Bone Douluo who are already at the top of soul masters - titled Douluo.

"Greetings to Lord Bone Douluo!" Everyone present knelt down at this moment.

In the Tiandou Empire, a titled Douluo was even comparable to the emperor, or even a supreme figure even higher than the emperor.

Bone Douluo shook his head, "You all should be exempted from the courtesy. I am an old bone and I don't like to be worshiped by others."

Immediately, Cheng Chao and others stood up quickly, "Thank you, Lord Bone Douluo."

"Then this one is..." Cheng Chao looked at Xiao Wu again.

He didn't dare to make excuses. Now it seemed that Lu Yuan didn't bring any guards or maids with him on this trip.

Although the girl behind Lord Tianyinghou looks no more than eighteen years old, what if Xiaowu is also a big shot?

Cheng Chao is not an ordinary person. He still has some knowledge. He has also heard that the youngest Marquis in the empire has a fiancée who is the daughter of the current head of the Qibao Glazed Sect.

And seeing that the girl behind Lu Yuan seems to be about the same age as him, could that be...

Just as Cheng Chao was thinking about it, Lu Yuan's lips curved in a joking manner, he looked at Xiao Wu and said, "She is just my maid."

When Xiao Wu heard what he said, she became furious and glared at him fiercely.

She seemed to think that Lu Yuan was easy to talk to now, so her eyes became bolder.

But things were contrary to what she thought. After Lu Yuan finished glaring at her, his eyes became cold and he looked at her coldly.

In an instant, Xiao Wu felt the coldness and murderous intent in Lu Yuan's eyes. She suddenly remembered Lu Yuan's methods all along, and suddenly cold sweat broke out on her back.

In the end, she flinched and avoided Lu Yuan's gaze.

This look clearly shows that he has surrendered.

Lu Yuan then withdrew his cold gaze. He had no tolerance for Xiao Wu. He said that Xiao Wu was his maid, and if Xiao Wu dared to stare back, it meant that she still needed to be dealt with.

Cheng Chao could sense the strangeness between Lu Yuan and Xiao Wu, but he was also a person with high emotional intelligence and didn't ask any more questions.

He quickly said, "Lord Marquis, Lord Bone Douluo, please go in and have a rest first. I have arranged the best residence for you."

"Then I'll trouble you." Lu Yuan said with a smile, "But I don't have to go to rest just yet, so I'll take Grandpa Bones first."

Upon hearing this, Bone Douluo asked, "Xiaoyuan, where are you going again?"

"Just going to see old friends." Lu Yuan said.

Bone Douluo also knew that Tianying City was once Lu Yuan's hometown, and it was indeed possible that he had a few old friends.

"Do you still have friends?" Xiao Wu frowned.

"Of course I do. Of course, maybe in the eyes of you and Tang San, these talents are not worthy of being your friends." Lu Yuan shrugged, "I don't. After all, without their help, Lu Yuan wouldn't be where he is now. "

Xiao Wu frowned, she suddenly didn't like what Lu Yuan said.

It always felt like she and Tang San had turned into arrogant and shameless villains in Lu Yuan's mouth.

But thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Lu Yuan was right about her and Tang San. When they were at Notting College, they never considered Wang Sheng and others as friends.

"How is it? Do you want to go back and take a look together?" Lu Yuan looked at Xiao Wu and said calmly.

Xiao Wu snorted coldly and said mockingly, "Didn't you say that I am your maid? Of course I will follow you!"

Lu Yuan shrugged, turned to look at Bone Douluo, "Grandpa Bone, you are tired too, please go over and take a rest first."

Bone Douluo nodded. He was not worried about Lu Yuan taking care of Xiao Wudan alone.

After all, Lu Yuan has Raast in his body. In this human city, Lu Yuan can basically walk sideways with Raast at his side.

Immediately, Bone Douluo was led by Cheng Chao to a luxurious mansion in the center of the city.

Lu Yuan looked at Xiao Wu and chuckled, then set off directly in the familiar direction.

Xiao Wu snorted coldly, but did not dare to turn around and run away while Lu Yuan ignored her.

After all, she already knows now that she is alone next to Lu Yuan... ah, no, it's a rabbit, and she can't escape.

…

On the avenue, there were not many pedestrians. On the contrary, Tianying City seemed to be under martial law at the moment, and everyone's doors were closed.

There were only a few women walking with vegetable baskets on the road, obviously out to buy ingredients.

It should be because the recent frequent attacks of spirit beasts have caused panic in the city. In order not to cause riots, Cheng Chao issued a martial law order.

But it should be soon that Tianying City will lift the martial law and return to its previous appearance.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and decided to go to Wuhun Hall to meet Brother Suyuntotao first.

So he headed directly to the direction of Wuhun Palace. The building that was originally called Wuhun Palace in Notting City has not changed at all because Notting City has been renamed Tianying City.

The entire building is brown, and there is only a long sword on the Wuhun Palace logo on the front door.

There were still two guards at the door, still in their twenties, but obviously not the two guards Lu Yuan had seen when he came here.

After all, almost ten years have passed, and it is absolutely impossible for the two guards to still be in their twenties.

"You two, what do you want to do here?" A guard on the left stood in front of Lu Yuan and Xiao Wu and asked respectfully.

He is not stupid either. From Lu Yuan's exquisite clothes and good temperament, we can know that Lu Yuan is not an ordinary person.

Although Xiao Wu's clothes are simple, she is beautiful. In addition, she is following Lu Yuan, who looks like a noble child. No matter how you look at her, you can tell that she is not an ordinary person.

"Oh, that's right." Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said kindly, "Excuse me, is Deacon Su Yuntao here today? I am his old friend, and I came here specially to see him this time."

"Deacon Su Yuntao?" When the guard on the right heard the name, he smiled bitterly.

"You may be late. As early as last month, Master Su was expelled from our Wuhun Hall due to negligence in his work." He continued, "Now he is no longer the deacon of our Wuhun Hall."

"Ah?" Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Why? Why did Brother Tao fail to do his job?"

"I'm not sure. This is an order from the Wuhun City headquarters." The guard continued with a wry smile, "To be honest, Deacon Su Yuntao usually leads people with kindness and works seriously. We all feel strange why Master Su was Expelled from Wuhun Palace."

Lu Yuan frowned and then asked, "Then do you know where Brother Tao... um, where Master Su Yuntao is now?"

"It is said that he went to Tianying Academy to be a teacher, and the dean there took him in."

Lu Yuan immediately couldn't laugh or cry. He dared to go to the academy from the beginning so that he could see Su Yuntao directly.

Now it is unnecessary.

He was about to leave, but just then...

An old man came towards them, holding a child in his hand.

The old man looked a little older again, but Lu Yuan once had a relationship with him, and he had a deep memory.

When the guard saw the old man, he frowned and said, "Old Jack, you still haven't given up. Do you still want to bring your children to awaken the martial arts?"

It was the old Jack who treated Tang San like his own grandson. Now he grabbed the hand of a little girl and came to the Spirit Hall.

Lu Yuan frowned and asked, "What? Your Wuhun Palace doesn't help people awaken their Wuhun now?"

"You don't know something." The guard said with a wry smile again at this time, "Because the beast tide attacked not long ago, in order to protect the safety of the people in the city, all of us in Wuhun Palace went to the front line to stop the spirit beasts. We need to rest, so this year we don’t have time to go to the outskirts of the city to help them awaken their martial souls.”

"The old man couldn't persuade him. He said that since we didn't have time to go to the outskirts of the city, he would bring the children here one by one."

"The key is that none of the children he brought could successfully awaken a useful martial soul with soul power."

Old Jack grabbed the child's hand at this time. Hearing what the guard said, he said helplessly, "No...what if? After all, there was a child in our village who awakened with innate soul power before this."

Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly. He knew who Old Jack was talking about, and then looked at Old Jack and said, "Old man, you go back first. They also have their own difficulties, and you don't have to worry. Soon Tianying City will be here." The strict order will be lifted.”

"At that time, when the deacons of Wuhun Hall have rested, they will go to your children to awaken their Wuhun."

"This..." Old Jack's dim eyes saw the exquisite clothes on Lu Yuan's body, and he was suddenly shocked, "My lord, I want to ask if you are sure?"

Lu Yuan smiled softly, then directly confessed his identity and said, "Grandpa Jack, how could I lie to you? I am Lu Yuan, do you remember?"

"Lu Yuan?" Old Jack didn't react for a moment.

"My second grandfather is Lu Wu." Lu Yuan said with a kind smile.

"It's the soul master grandson of Old Man Wu from Lujia Village!" Old Jack suddenly remembered, and then he soon sighed, "It's a pity that Old Man Wu left so early."

"Life and death matter, these things are beyond anyone's imagination." Lu Yuan was silent for a while, and then said slowly.

"By the way, I still remember that you are a classmate of my mistress." Old Jack said again, "How is the mistress doing now?"

When Xiao Wu on the side heard the word mistress, she was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Yuan, asking who this person was.

Maybe she had also forgotten that before she and Tang San became brother and sister that day, when she followed Tang San back to Holy Soul Village, she had met old Jack.

But how could Old Jack, a mortal like him, be remembered in her heart?

"Xiao San..." Lu Yuan was silent for a while. He couldn't say that he had killed Tang San.

He could only smile and say, "Tang San is living very fast now and has become a powerful soul master, almost as powerful as me."

"Then when will he come back to visit the village?" Old Jack asked again, "Last time I heard that he left directly with his father. That guy Tang Hao left without even saying a word to me."

Then he snorted coldly when he mentioned Tang Hao.

Tang Hao is also dead. Lu Yuan said silently in his heart.

"He, he's not sure. I'll ask him another day." Lu Yuan lied.

Xiao Wu was behind him and glared at him coldly.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't come back or not..." At this time, Old Jack said, "Saint Soul Village is too small, why would he come back? But it seems good if he can meet the mistress."

He is now like Tang San's biological grandfather, obviously looking forward to Tang San coming back to see him, but he is also afraid that it will delay Tang San's future.

"In that case, I'll go back first." Old Jack sighed, pulled the child, and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Lu Yuan suddenly said at this time.

Old Jack was a little stunned and turned to look at him, "Is there anything else?"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly at this time, then came to the child, took out a piece of ambergris leaf and a piece of candy from the wishful treasure bag at his waist, wrapped the candy in the leaf, and handed it to the little girl.

"How about I give you a piece of candy, brother?" he said to the little girl with a smile.

Old Jack did not suspect that Lu Yuan poisoned her. After all, Lu Yuan had no need to kill the little girl.

The little girl was obviously interested in the fragrant candy, but Old Jack didn't say anything and she didn't dare to take it.

"Take the candy from your brother. It's okay. This is our brother from the village next door." Old Jack said.

Immediately, the little girl took the candy wrapped in ambergris and ate it.

Lu Yuan knelt down and patted the little girl on the shoulder with a smile, "If you become a powerful soul master in the future, you must remember how kind your Grandpa Jack was to you today..."

The little girl blinked, "Brother, can I become a powerful soul master?"

Lu Yuan mobilized a trace of arcane energy in his body, and then directly passed the arcana energy into the little girl's body through his hand on the little girl's shoulder.

At the same time, the ambergris leaf in the little girl's mouth was directly stimulated by an energy and turned into pure energy, which spread from the esophagus to the eight meridians of the little girl's limbs.

"Yes, you will definitely become a powerful soul master." Lu Yuan said sincerely.

With this ray of arcane power, coupled with ambergris, it was impossible to directly transform the little girl in front of him into a genius soul master with full innate soul power and top-level martial arts like he helped Lu Qingqing.

But it is enough to give the little girl at least two levels of innate soul power, and to slightly modify the strength of the little girl's martial soul.

With two levels of innate soul power, as long as the little girl continues to practice, she will eventually become at least a soul master at the soul king level.

"Okay, let's say goodbye." Lu Yuan stood up and said to Old Jack.

"Say goodbye to my brother." Old Jack said to the little girl again.

"Goodbye, brother." The little girl saw Xiao Wu behind Lu Yuan again and said obediently, "Goodbye, sister."

"Goodbye." Lu Yuan smiled and waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the academy.

But at this moment, the little girl suddenly shouted from behind Lu Yuan, "Big brother! My name is Ye Xin, Xin Xin, you must remember me!"

Lu Yuan was a little surprised, then turned around and smiled, "I remember you."

Then he continued to move forward, followed by Xiao Wu behind him.

After walking for a while, Xiao Wu asked, "Who is that old man from Mistress?"

"Tang San's mother passed away when he was a child, and his father was depressed and drunk all day long. Grandpa Jack took care of him," Lu Yuan said.

"So, old Jack can also be regarded as Tang San's grandfather."

"So you killed the mistress and then lied in front of my grandfather?" Xiao Wu sneered and said, "What? Don't you dare to say the crime you committed?"

"Don't get me wrong, I killed Tang San just because I killed him. I didn't say that I denied it." Lu Yuan said coldly, "I don't want to tell old Jack because I don't want a kind-hearted old man to feel sad."

Xiao Wu frowned, but soon she said in a mocking tone, "I didn't expect you to be a kind person."

"I never think that I am a good person, but I only do what I think is right." Lu Yuan said lightly, "I am better than you. You never know what is right and what is wrong."

"We don't know what is right and what is wrong?" Xiao Wu was furious, "You are the one who killed me, Lu Yuan!"

"Do you think you and Tang San are any better? Back then, you bullied others wantonly in the academy, not to mention that Tang San killed fewer people." Lu Yuan said, "I know his style very well, he has no interest in killing. He has no compassion and never considers whether it is worth killing before killing someone.”

This was the case with the original guard of Notting College. Tang San wanted to kill him when he had a disagreement.

"When I think of it, Xuexingfeng, this is his style."

"And you, wantonly set off a wave of soul beasts and made these innocent people suffer. Do you really know what is right and what is wrong?" Lu Yuan continued.

Xiao Wu frowned, hesitated to speak, and finally said, "Don't tell me, you seem to be a good person."

"I am indeed not a good person." Lu Yuan said with a sneer, "Not only am I not a good person, I even want to become the strongest evil. Only in this way can I tear off the thin sugar coating of false justice!"

"Justice? Justice is to make this world and this continent prosper! Instead of turning the country into a home like you do, focusing on selfishness, treating the world as your own back garden, taking everything, regardless of others!"

Xiao Wu frowned, "When did we treat this world as our own backyard?"

"Aren't you now? For your own selfish reasons, you not only anger innocent humans, but also let the soul beasts of the Star Dou Forest die." Lu Yuan looked at her and asked.

Xiao Wu felt like she couldn't defeat Lu Yuan, so she snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Lu Yuan ignored him.

The two continued to walk forward, and soon arrived at the former Notting College and now the Tianying College.
