BXBX NOVEL Chapter 53 Fe Cai
There were two guards there: one was pointing the spear at Lu Zhen, and the other was just standing there with a smirk on his face.
The guy pointing the spear at Lu Zhen had golden hair and a lean physique, with blue eyes that made him quite handsome enough to compare to Lu Zhen. However, he had a feminine charm, whereas Lu Zhen's charm was muscular. He wore the classical captain guard uniform of Phoenix City, with a metal bracelet accentuating his green robes and pants.
However, Lu Zhen didn't reply; he just stared at the person as if looking at an idiot.
Seeing this, the spearman pointing his spear at Lu Zhen frowned.
"Fei Cai, are you trying to catch another fat sheep?" the other person besides him said in a whisper, smirking with knowing eyes.
There were always some fat sheeps who were refugee martial trainees who became arrogant because they thought they could be of importance here. They were called fat sheep because they could be sent to the mines as punishment, which would always earn them quite a bonus in their salary. These arrogant martial trainees were always the fattest sheep that a guard could get and delighted the guards when they showed themselves. After all, although it might seem like jumping that high was a great feat for an ordinary person, any martial trainee could accomplish such a thing if they were willing to work for it. Seeing the ragged clothes of the two, the guard was sure that they were just refugee martial trainees.
However, Fei Cai frowned upon hearing this. "It is our duty to guard here. How can we add personal interest here?" Fei Cai said with a frown on his face when he heard the guy, as he stopped the two people who were one young and another old, but they both were muscular.
Lu Zhen's ears twitched when he heard this, and his amusing eyes became even more so.
"Didn't you hear me? Who are you?" Fei Cai said as his spear went even closer to Lu Zhen.
Seeing no reply, Fei Cai became a little confused as he saw the young man in front of him looking at him with even more amusement, as if watching a great show called "I am an idiot."
Fei Cai narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two more carefully. The old guy was carrying two people in his arms, walking casually with his clothes dirty from all the mud, and his clothes were a little tattered. He had a muscular build. The young man was carrying a leaf loaded with something, although Fei Cai didn't know what it was. The young man was handsome, with black long hair and red crimson eyes. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Still, they shouldn't be good people if they are carrying people and being so audacious. However, before he could stop them, the other guard caught a glimpse of Lu Zhen, which made his eyes widen with pure horror, and his body started shaking uncontrollably. He hurriedly stopped Fei Cai by lowering the spear.
"What's the matter with you?" Fei Cai said as he turned back to see the trembling guard with terrified eyes.
"This…this…" the guard couldn't utter a word, knowing that he had messed up. However, an insidious plan came to his mind to save his life as his brain worked faster than ever before. "Fei Cai, are you crazy? That's the young master of the Lu family," the guard said with a cold tone, although there were beads of sweat on his body, visible if you looked closely.
When Fei Cai heard this, his eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth but immediately put down his spear as he bowed with reluctance. "I am sorry, young master," Fei Cai said respectfully, though there was a hint of indignation in his tone.
The other guard also immediately bowed and said, "Young master, I am extremely sorry because of my idiot friend here, you have been disturbed." The guard said with a smirk on his face, thinking he had put all the blame on his friend.
Hearing the betrayal of his so-called friend in just a moment, Fei Cai couldn't help but feel bitter. He knew that the guy was a faker who would stab you in the back as long as it benefited him. However, he didn't feel any remorse for his actions, as he believed he was just doing his job.
Nevertheless, Lu Zhen remained in place, simply gazing at them. With no response forthcoming, the two guards exchanged furtive glances. Upon catching sight of Lu Zhen's piercing crimson eyes, an unexplainable mental pressure descended upon them, causing them to inexplicably break into a sweat. Although Fei Cai was fine, the other guard's uniform was already soaked with sweat.
Fei Cai became even more bitter when he saw no reply from Lu Zhen. Actually, the guards guarding the gates were a collective group of people directly under the four major families. So, they could be arrogant to anyone except the direct descendants of the family or anyone related to the four major families, who were like novelties to them - nothing more than dogs to the four major families. Offending the infamous young master of the Lu family was like a death sentence to them, although they had heard that the Lu family young master had considerably improved and had become friendlier, they didn't know the authenticity of the rumour. Actually, it wasn't even their fault that Lu Zhen was stopped; after all, the direct descendants had their special carriage that they always travelled in, so they couldn't even dare to imagine that Lu Zhen could appear barefooted and with his clothes messed up too.
"Open the gates," Lu Zhen finally said after a long silence.
"Yes, young master," the subordinates of Fei Cai and the other guard quickly said with panic as they pulled the lever.
"If you can survive this, we will meet again in the future," Lu Zhen said as he looked at Fei Cai before leaving with Yu Bai, wearing a mysterious smile.
Hearing this, Fei Cai's eyes widened.
