Lord of Twilight City
Lu Xueyuan walked into the hall of the inn, and saw an old woman about sixty years old was holding a fan in the wind, she was dressed plainly, but she still couldn't hide her grace and luxury, from her demeanor, it could be seen that she was not an ordinary person, at least, the temperament she exuded was not something that ordinary old people could have.
The old woman saw Lu Xueyuan walking out of the room, the anger on her face dissipated a little, and she asked lightly, "Are you awake?" Hungry or not? I'll prepare some food for you."
"No, I just woke up, and I'm not hungry now." Lu Xueyuan shook his head and rejected the old woman's kindness.
The old woman glanced at Lu Xueyuan, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she still said, "Okay then." The old woman's gaze looked at Lu Xueyuan again, and then said, "What's your name?"
Lu Xueyuan said, "Lu Xueyuan."
"Lu Xueyuan?" The old woman muttered these three words, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and her gaze fell on the cyan disciple costume on Lu Xueyuan's body, she suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Are you from the Lu family?"
"Hmm." Although Lu Xueyuan had some doubts in his heart, he still nodded, and the old woman continued: "Since your surname is Lu, then I am much more relieved, but you had better not have anything to do with the Lu family, otherwise you don't blame me for being unkind to you."
Lu Xueyuan's eyes looked at the stars outside the window, and he secretly said in his heart, "It seems that I have to flee quickly."
Seeing that Lu Xueyuan didn't speak, the old woman continued, "Which village are you from here?"
"Bluestone." Lu Xueyuan thought about it and said a name casually.
"Then how did you end up here?" The old woman seemed a little surprised.
"I'm traveling, and I've heard that the Twilight City Lord's Mansion is here, so I've rushed over."
"I see, since you are from a foreign country, then hurry up, our Twilight City City Lord's Mansion is not something that can be brought by idle people." The old woman's tone was full of disdain and contempt, Lu Xueyuan saw her attitude like this, a trace of anger flashed on her face, she didn't expect that she would be treated like this, but she knew that now was not the time to be angry.
"I have nowhere to go now, so I have to live in the Twilight City Lord's Mansion for the time being, I wonder if the City Lord is free?" Lu Xueyuan said slowly.
A sneer tugged at the corner of the old woman's mouth, and then she snorted lightly and said, "You're quite smart, and you know how to tell the city lord and his venerable one to protect yourself. In that case, then you can live in this courtyard, and you can live in peace."
"Thank you." After saying that, Lu Xueyuan bowed down to the old woman, and then turned around and walked towards the house.
Seeing the back of Lu Xueyuan leaving, the old woman's eyes were full of sneers, and she muttered involuntarily, "Lu family, hehe, your Lu family also has today!"
Lu Xueyuan returned to her room, sat at the table, she looked around, this was a very small and delicate room, except for the chair she was sitting on, it was the bed, there was a table in front of the bed, and a stool. She walked over to the table, she looked at the tea set on the table, she knew that this should be the exclusive teacup of Twilight City, and this was the only benefit she got after coming to Twilight City in a daze, because there was a supply of spiritual power here, and there was also spiritual spring water.
The corners of Lu Xueyuan's mouth showed a smile, she looked at the porcelain bowl on the table, stretched out her slender jade hand and grabbed the porcelain bowl, the sound of porcelain collision was very loud in this empty room. Lu Xueyuan handed the porcelain bowl to herself, picked up the teapot herself, poured it full of tea, she took a sip of tea, felt the fragrance of tea on the tip of her tongue, and her face showed a hint of comfort. Then she put the teacup on the table, and then lay down in the chair and closed her eyes, and slept very comfortably, and by the time she opened her eyes again, it was completely dark. z.br>
Lu Xueyuan stretched her waist, got up and walked to the window, she pushed open the window, and was stunned when she saw the scene outside the window. I saw a forest of high-rise buildings in the distance, brightly lit, and a long dragon winding and circling on the road, on both sides of the street, the shops were lined up and rowed up, a prosperous scene, she sighed slightly.
Then I heard a call: "Miss Lu is awake!" Old woman
The person pushed the door and saw Lu Xueyuan standing at the window, so he asked with a smile, "Miss Lu is hungry, do you want to eat something?"
Lu Xueyuan turned around, nodded slightly at the old woman, and said, "Okay, thank you Auntie!"
When the old woman heard Lu Xueyuan say this, she smiled and said, "If you call me Auntie, you are close to me, but you don't have to call me Auntie, just call me Grandma Zhao."
Grandma Zhao? Lu Xueyuan glanced at this old woman, this old woman looked to be forty years old at most, her skin was very dark, her eyes were very bright, her nose was straight, and her lips were plump. Seeing Grandma Zhao so enthusiastic, a smile appeared on her face and said, "Okay, Grandma Zhao, then I'll do whatever you want."
"Well, okay, then let's go to the kitchen and cook dinner now, Miss Lu, you wait a minute." Grandma Zhao said with a smile.
Lu Xueyuan nodded and said, "Grandma Zhao, please." After Grandma Zhao left the room, Lu Xueyuan's face sank. The corners of her mouth sketched a sarcastic smile, she didn't expect that she would end up in such a situation, originally she wanted to find a place to hide quietly for a few days, and then leave Twilight City, no matter where she went, in short, she didn't want to stay in Twilight City. But she didn't expect that she would be discovered before she could do anything, and she could only stay in Twilight City for the time being.
She thought of her juniors, and if she was alone in Twilight City, maybe she would have managed to escape. A bitter smile crossed the corner of Lu Xueyuan's mouth.
Half an hour later, Lu Xueyuan got up from the bed, she was going to take advantage of the night to take advantage of the night to take a good turn around this twilight city, so as to find a place to go out, several of her juniors and disciples were still in the other space, and the elder would not give up on them, so she had to leave tonight anyway!
Lu Xueyuan was dressed neatly, picked up a piece of Tibetan cloth to cover his face and hair, and then quietly walked out of the door, Lu Xueyuan walked outside, paying attention to the surrounding environment.
The city was not too well defended, she could easily avoid the soldiers patrolling the walls, and at night, she was like a ghost, moving freely through the walls.
"What is this?" Suddenly, Lu Xueyuan stopped, she looked at a room not far ahead, and saw a middle-aged man leaning against the wall and closing his eyes, he was thin, his clothes were tattered, his body was short and fat, and his eyes were cloudy, but there was a trace of fierceness hidden between his eyebrows, as if his body contained huge energy, which made people dare not look directly.
After Lu Xueyuan stared at the man for a moment, her eyebrows frowned slightly, who is this man? Could it be the lord of the city? She shook her head, although the city lord is powerful, he will not have such momentum, it seems that he should not be the city lord. While Lu Xueyuan was thinking, the man also opened his eyes, and when he looked at Lu Xueyuan, there was a look of surprise in his eyes, and he muttered, "Lu Xueyuan?!"
Lu Xueyuan's body trembled violently when she heard this name, she didn't expect that someone in Twilight City would know her, but she didn't show any panic. She looked at the man, only to see that the man's face was full of vicissitudes, his eyes were as deep as the ocean, although he was very old, but his skin was very fair, he looked very handsome, and his facial features looked very soft, if it weren't for the vicissitudes of life and vicissitudes of temperament on his body, he was really a gentle and elegant son.
Lu Xueyuan looked at him, who is this person? And what is his identity? "What? You know me?" Lu Xueyuan said lightly.
A smile appeared on the man's face, and he said, "You are our savior, how could I not know it, but I didn't expect that you would become what you are now, it is really impermanent!"
Lu Xueyuan was slightly stunned when she heard this, she looked at this person, this person's aura was very peaceful, and he looked like an old friend, but a vigilance rose in her heart, because she didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe. However, Lu Xueyuan is also a bold person, since the other party said that he is a life-saving benefactor, then he is naturally his own person, she said coldly, "I don't know what you say, but I want to tell you, in this twilight
Amagi is not a place where you can come and go whenever you want!"
"Miss Lu, you don't have to threaten me, your current strength is too weak, if it weren't for good luck, you would already be in a different place by now! But you've met me again!" This person smiled slightly, looked at Lu Xueyuan, and said, "My name is Hu Sheng, and I am the head of the guard of this Twilight City City Lord's Mansion."
When Lu Xueyuan heard this, his pupils constricted suddenly, this person turned out to be the chief of the guard? She looked at Hu Sheng and asked, "Since you are the captain of the guards in Twilight City, why are you here?" Instead of guarding the city lord?"
"Hmph... Because the lord of the city here is not worthy of our protection at all! I can't stay here anymore." Hu Sheng's face changed, and he said, "But don't worry, Miss Lu, I won't hurt your life, because I want you to join us and resist the demon of the city lord together more than anyone else!" As he spoke, he patted the stone pillar in front of him.
Lu Xueyuan frowned, she didn't know if she should believe him. After all, in her current situation, it was difficult to even escape, so how could she possibly agree to help them resist the city lord? However, Lu Xueyuan is not stupid, she feels that she has no way back now, and if she refuses the other party again, then her end will definitely be even worse.
Thinking of this, she nodded slightly, her eyes flashed with determination, and she said, "Good! I promise to join you!"
