Chapter 369 Hometown Moonlight (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 look of fear on his face, "The Marquis is here in person. I apologize for the delay in greeting you from afar."
Needless to say, he is the city owner of the original Notting City Cinema.
He is 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 original 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 to say that the city lord of Tianying City should be more humble.
After all, this is about your own preparation work!
Lu Yuan smiled slightly, "What do you call it?"
"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 the Supreme Elder of our Seven Treasures Glazed Sect - Bone Douluo." Lu Yuan said immediately.
After hearing the name Bone Douluo, Cheng Chao and the soldiers standing nearby were shocked, and then wanted to kneel down.
They didn't know who Bone Douluo was. In a small city 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 is even comparable to the emperor, or even a supreme figure even higher than the emperor.
Bone Douluo shook his head, "You all should be exempt 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 did not bring any escorts 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.
Instantly, 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, "Master Marquis, Master 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 with me first."
Upon hearing this, Bone Douluo asked, "Xiaoyuan, where are you going again?"
"I'm just going to meet old friends," Lu Yuan said.
Bone Douluo also knows that Tianying City was once Lu Yuan's hometown, and it is indeed possible that he has 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 words.
But thinking about it carefully, Lu Yuan seemed to be right when he said that she and Tang San were right. When they were at Notting Academy, they never considered Wang Sheng and others as friends.
"How is it? Do you want to go back and have 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 wasn't 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 was ignoring her.
After all, she already knows now that she is alone next to Lu Yuan... ah, no, it's a rabbit, there is no way to escape.
…
On the avenue, there were not many pedestrians. On the contrary, Tianying City seemed to be under martial law at this 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 of the recent frequent attacks of spirit beasts, which has caused people in the city to panic. In order not to cause riots, Cheng Chao issued a martial law order.
But it should be soon that Tianying City will lift 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 we 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 those 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 in a kind and conscientious way. We all find it strange why Master Su is being punished.
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 want to bring your child to awaken the martial spirit?"
It was 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.
To be continued...
