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

After he saw Lu Yuan, he directly trotted over with a frightened face, "Lord Marquis is here in person, my subordinates have missed the distance, forgive me." ”

Needless to say, he is the city lord of the original Notting City and now Sky Studios.

The person is not bad, but the attitude is too humble.

But Lu Yuan didn't know that at the moment when the Snowy Night Emperor sealed Notting City to him, all the original officials of Notting City became his retainers.

No matter how humble he is to his master, he can't be overdone, because who the current city lord of Heavenly Shadow City is just a matter that Lu Yuan can change with a casual word.

Even the empire has no right to interfere with Lu Yuan's decision, in order to keep his position as the city lord, it is not an exaggeration to be a little more humble on this day.

After all, it's about your own compilation!

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, "What do you call it?" ”

"I am Cheng Chao, the city lord of Heavenly Shadow City." Cheng Chao said respectfully, "There is Lord Yingtian Shadow Marquis here. ”

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

"This is the Supreme Elder of my Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect - Bone Douluo." Lu Yuan said suddenly.

After hearing the name Bone Douluo, Cheng Chao and the soldiers standing on the side were shocked in an instant, and then wanted to kneel.

They didn't know who Bone Douluo was, and in the small city of Notting City, ordinary people might not even know what kind of power the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect was.

But they know what kind of character the word Douluo is after a word - Title Douluo!

In the small cities on the edge of the empire, many people may not even see the Soul Saint in their lives, and they may even have a Soul Emperor Soul King.

Not to mention Bone Douluo, a figure like Bone Douluo who is already standing at the top of the soul master, Title Douluo.

"Meet Lord Bone Douluo!" Everyone present knelt down at this time.

Title Douluo is even comparable to the emperor in the Heaven Dou Empire, and even more supreme than the emperor.

Bone Douluo shook his head, "You all are exempt, my old bone doesn't like to be worshipped." ”

Suddenly, Cheng Chao and the others hurriedly got up, "Lord Xie Gu Douluo." ”

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

He didn't dare to hold it up, and now it seems that Lu Yuan didn't bring any unrelated characters of guards and maids on this trip.

Although the girl behind this Heavenly Shadow Marquis looks no more than eighteen years old, what if Xiao Wu is also a big person?

Cheng Chao is not an ordinary person, he still has some knowledge, he has also heard that the youngest marquis of the empire has a fiancée, who is the daughter of the contemporary sect master of the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect.

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

Just as Cheng Chao was thinking about it, the corners of Lu Yuan's mouth outlined a playful arc, looked at Xiao Wu and said, "She, my maid." ”

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

She seemed to think that Lu Yuan was very good at talking now, so her eyes were a little bolder.

But things were the opposite of what she thought, Lu Yuan's eyes became cold after she finished staring, and he looked at her coldly.

In an instant, Xiao Wu felt the coldness and murderous aura in Lu Yuan's eyes, and she suddenly remembered what Lu Yuan had been doing, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out on her back.

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

This appearance has obviously been softened.

Only then did Lu Yuan retract his cold gaze, he had no tolerance or intolerance for Xiao Wu, he said that Xiao Wu was his maid, and Xiao Wu dared to stare back, which meant that he still owed it to clean up.

Cheng Chao could feel the strangeness between Lu Yuan and Xiao Wu, but he was also a person with high emotional intelligence, so he didn't ask much.

He quickly said, "Lord Marquis, Lord Bone Douluo, you go and rest first, I have arranged the best mansion for you." ”

"Then I'm bothering you." Lu Yuan smiled and said, "But I don't have to rest for the time being, so let's take Grandpa Bone first." ”

Hearing this, Bone Douluo asked, "Xiao Yuan, where are you going again?" ”

"It's just to meet old friends." Lu Yuan said.

Bone Douluo also knew that Heavenly Shadow City was once Lu Yuan's hometown, and it was indeed possible to have a few old friends.

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

"Of course I have, of course, maybe in the eyes of you and Tang San, these people are not worthy of being your friends." Lu Yuan shrugged, "I won't, after all, without their help, there would be no current Lu Yuan." ”

Xiao Wu frowned, she suddenly didn't like Lu Yuan's statement.

I always felt that she and Tang San had become arrogant, arrogant, weak and shameless villains in Lu Yuan's mouth.

But thinking about it carefully, Lu Yuan seemed to be right when she and Tang San were right, when they were in Notting Academy, they never regarded Wang Sheng and the others as friends.

"How? Do you want to go back and see it together? Lu Yuan looked at Xiao Wu and said lightly.

Xiao Wu snorted coldly and said mockingly, "Didn't you say that I was your maid?" Of course I'm going to follow you! ”

Lu Yuan shrugged his shoulders and turned to look at Bone Douluo, "Grandpa Bone, you're tired too, you can go over and rest first." ”

Bone Douluo nodded, he wasn't worried about what would happen to Lu Yuan taking care of Xiao Wu alone.

After all, Lu Yuan has the existence of Layast in his body, and in this human city, Lu Yuan, who has Rayast with him, can basically walk sideways.

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

Lu Yuan, on the other hand, looked at Xiao Wu and chuckled, and set off directly in a familiar direction.

Xiao Wu snorted coldly, and didn't dare to take advantage of Lu Yuan to ignore her, so she turned around and ran away.

After all, she already knew by now, and she was alone by Lu Yuan's side...... Oh no, it's a rabbit, you can't escape.

……

On the avenue, there are not many pedestrians, on the contrary, at this moment, the Celestial Shadow City seems to be under martial law in the whole city, and everyone's doors are closed.

Only a few women walked along the way with baskets of vegetables, apparently out to buy food.

It should be because of the recent frequent tide of soul beasts and beasts, which has caused panic in the city, in order not to cause riots, Cheng Chao issued martial law.

However, it should be that soon, Celestial Shadow City will lift martial law and return to its previous state.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment, and decided to go to the Martial Spirit Hall to meet Brother Su Yuntao Tao first.

So he went directly to the direction of the Martial Soul Palace, the building that was originally called the Martial Soul Hall of Notting City has not changed in the slightest because Notting City has been renamed Heavenly Shadow City.

The entire building is brown, and there is only a long sword on the Soul Hall logo on the front gate.

And there were still two guards at the door, still in their twenties, but obviously they wouldn't be the two guards Lu Yuan had seen back then.

After all, it's been almost ten years, and those two guards can't possibly still be in their twenties.

"Two, what are you doing here?" A guard on the left stood in front of Lu Yuan and Xiao Wu at this time and asked respectfully.

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

And although Xiao Wu is poorly dressed, she is beautiful, and she is behind Lu Yuan, who looks very much like a noble child, no matter how you look at it, she knows that she is not an ordinary person.

"Oh, that's right." Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said very kindly, "May I ask if Deacon Su Yuntao is here today?" I'm an old friend of his, so I've come to meet him this time. ”

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

"You may be late, as early as last month, Master Su was expelled from our Martial Spirit Hall for dereliction of duty." He continued, "Now he is no longer the deacon of our Martial Spirit Palace. ”

"Huh?" Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Why?" What is it that Brother Tao is derelict in his work? ”

"I don't know, this is an order from the headquarters of Wuhun City." The guard smiled bitterly and continued, "To be honest, on weekdays, Deacon Su Yuntao is kind and works hard, and we all feel strange why Master Su was expelled from the Martial Spirit Palace. ”

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

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

Lu Yuan suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, daring to love him as soon as he went to the academy, and he would be able to see Su Yuntao directly.

Now it's a redundant move.

He was about to leave, but at that moment......

They were greeted by an old man with a small child in his hand.

The old man's appearance has aged a little again, but Lu Yuan once had a relationship, and he has a deep memory.

When the guard saw the old man, he immediately frowned and said, "Old Jack, you still don't give up, do you still want to take the child to awaken the martial spirit?" ”

It was the old Jack who treated Tang San like his own grandson, and at this moment he grabbed a little girl's hand and came to the Martial Spirit Palace.

Lu Yuan frowned and asked, "What?" Your Martial Soul Hall doesn't help people awaken martial souls now? ”

"You don't know." At this time, the guard said with a wry smile again, "Because the beast tide attacked not long ago, in order to protect the safety of the people in the city, all of us in the Martial Spirit Hall went to the front line to block the soul beasts, and we still need to rest when we come back, so we don't have time to go to the outskirts of the city to help them awaken the martial soul this year." ”

"The old man couldn't persuade him, he said that since we don't have time to go to the outskirts of the city, then he will bring the children over one by one."

"The key is that none of the children he brought were able to successfully awaken a useful and soul-powerful martial soul."

Old Jack grabbed the child's hand at this time, and when he heard what the guard said, he said helplessly, "No...... What if? After all, before this, there were children in our village who awakened their innate soul power. ”

Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly, he knew who Old Jack was talking about, then looked at Old Jack and said, "Old man, you go back first, people are also in trouble, and you don't have to worry, soon the Heavenly Shadow City will lift the strict order." ”

"When the time comes, when the deacons of the Martial Spirit Hall are rested, they will go to your group of children to awaken the martial soul."

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

Lu Yuan smiled lightly, then directly confessed his identity and said, "Grandpa Jack, how could I lie to you?" I'm Lu Yuan, do you remember? ”

"Lu Yuan?" Old Jack didn't react at once.

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

"It's the soul master grandson of the old man Wu in Lujia Village!" Suddenly, Old Jack remembered, and then he quickly sighed, "It's a pity that I didn't expect Old Man Wu to leave so early." ”

"Life and death are fate, no one can think of these things." Lu Yuan was silent for a while, and then said slowly.

"By the way, I still remember that you are my junior classmate." Old Jack said again, "How is the junior now?" ”

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

Maybe she had forgotten that before she and Tang San became brother and sister that day, when Tang San returned to the Holy Soul Village, she had seen Old Jack.

But how could Old Jack, such a mortal, make her remember it?

"Little San, ......" Lu Yuan was silent for a while, he couldn't say that he had cut Tang San by himself.

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

"And when will he come back to see the village?" Old Jack asked again, "Last time I heard that he left directly with his father, Tang Hao, that guy didn't say a word to me when he left." ”

Then he snorted coldly when he talked about Tang Hao.

Tang Hao also died. Lu Yuan said silently in his heart.

"He, I don't know, I'll ask him another day." Lu Yuan lied.

Xiao Wu was behind him and glared at him coldly.

"Forget it, it's better if you don't come back, it's good if you don't come back...... Old Jack said at this time, "The Holy Soul Village is too small, why did he come back?" But if you can meet the junior, it seems to be good. ”

He was now like Tang San's own grandfather, obviously looking forward to Tang San coming back to see him, but he was afraid that Tang San's future would be delayed.

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

"Wait!" Lu Yuan said suddenly 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 leaves and a piece of candy from the Ruyi treasure bag on his waist, the leaf was wrapped in candy, and handed it to the little girl.

"How about my brother give you a piece of candy to eat?" He said to the little girl with a smile.

Old Jack didn't suspect that Lu Yuan had poisoned anything, after all, Lu Yuan didn't have to kill the little girl.

The little girl was obviously interested in the fragrant smell of the candy, but Old Jack did not speak, and she did not dare to take it.

"Take my brother's candy, it's okay, it's our brother from the village next door." Old Jack said.

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

Lu Yuan squatted down at this time, smiled and patted the little girl's shoulder, "If you become a powerful soul master in the future, remember that your grandfather Jack was kind 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 transmitted the arcane energy to the little girl's body through the hand on the little girl's shoulder.

At the same time, the ambergris leaves in the little girl's mouth were directly stimulated by energy, turning into pure energy, which dispersed from the esophagus to the eight veins of the little girl's limbs.

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

His wisp of arcane ability, coupled with ambergris, although it is impossible to directly transform the little girl in front of him into a genius soul master with innate soul power and top-level martial soul like helping Lu Qingqing.

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

has two levels of innate soul power, as long as the little girl persists in cultivating, she can at least become a soul master at the level of the soul king in the end.

"Alright, leave it at that." 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 behind Lu Yuan, "Big brother! My name is Ye Xin, thriving Xin, you have to remember me! ”

Lu Yuan was a little stunned, then turned his head and smiled, "I remember you." ”

Then he continued to walk forward, and Xiao Wu behind him followed.

After walking for a while, Xiao Wu asked, "That old man, who is Xiao San?" ”

"When Tang San was a child, his mother died, and his father was drunk all day long, and he was taken care of by Grandpa Jack." 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 other people's grandfathers?" Xiao Wu sneered and said, "What? Don't dare to say what you have committed? ”

"Don't get me wrong, if I kill Tang San, I will kill it, 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 be sad." ”

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

"I never thought of myself as a good person, but I only do what I feel is right." Lu Yuan said lightly, "Better than you, you never know what is right and what is wrong." ”

"We don't know what's right and what's wrong?" Xiao Wu was furious, "It's you who killed people, Lu Yuan!" ”

"Do you think you and Tang San are so good? At the beginning, he wantonly bullied others in the academy, not to mention that there were fewer people killed by Tang San. Lu Yuan said, "I know his style very well, he has no compassion for killing, and he never thinks about whether it is worth killing or not." ”

The original doorman of Notting Academy was like this, Tang San wanted to kill him if he didn't agree with him at the beginning.

"When I think about it, it's snowy, that's his style."

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

Xiao Wu frowned, stopped talking, and finally said, "Don't say that you seem to be a good person." ”

"I'm really not a good person." Lu Yuan sneered and said, "Not only am I not a good person, but I even want to be the strongest evil, only in this way can I tear off the thin icing of false justice!" ”

"Justice? Justice is to make this world, this continent prosperous! Instead of being like you, turning the country into a home, single-mindedly selfish, treating the world as your own backyard, taking it from you, and ignoring others! ”

Xiao Wu frowned, "When did we treat this world as our own back garden." ”

"Aren't you now? For his own selfishness, he not only angered innocent humans, but also sent the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest to death. Lu Yuan looked at her and asked rhetorically.

Xiao Wu felt as if she couldn't talk about Lu Yuan, so she suddenly snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Lu Yuan didn't pay attention to him anymore.

The two of them continued to walk forward, and soon arrived at the former Notting Academy, and now the Celestial Shadow Academy.
