Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Beating at the City King Mansion

Royal City was vast and bustling, and Lu Xiao found himself wandering around for the first time after arriving.

Speaking of which, it was only his third day in Royal City.

"Lu Xiao, that over there is the City King Mansion," Zhan Qingyun pointed at a group of buildings not far away and introduced roughly an hour later.

Lu Xiao paused for half a second, Are you sure this is the City King... Mansion?

This isn’t a freaking city?

It was enormous to an absurd degree, so vast that one couldn’t grasp its entirety at a glance.

"Let’s go, have a look inside."

Of course, getting into the City King Mansion turned out to be more troublesome than Lu Xiao had imagined.

He had to announce his presence, submit identity tokens, and even Zhan Qingyun had to write an introduction letter for the companions accompanying him.

After being sent in by the guards, it had to go through approval, and only after approval could the City King decide whether or not to grant an audience.

"Just wait. It’ll be at least three hours to start, maybe even until the next day," Zhan Qingyun said somewhat helplessly, spreading his hands after completing the formalities.

Even as the Academy Director of the First Academy, he could only follow the procedures.

"This City King... must be a damn fool!" Lu Xiao grumbled with a frown.

This efficiency was completely crappy.

If someone attacked Royal City, by the time the news reached the City King, I’m afraid one’s house would be almost completely demolished.

"Lu Xiao, watch your language, okay?" Zhan Qingyun jumped in shock. This kid Lu Xiao really had a quick temper; he could curse out just about anyone.

Zhan Qingyun had no doubts that if Lu Xiao were in a bad mood, he’d probably slap a passing dog twice across the face.

"Watch my language my ass, if he’s acting like this and we still can’t talk about it," Lu Xiao snorted disdainfully.

After his snort, Lu Xiao’s eyes narrowed.

"Junior Brother, don’t mess around," Yu Heng turned pale as soon as he saw Lu Xiao squint.

This kid’s expression meant he was probably thinking of barging in by force again.

This wasn’t the First Academy where you could charge in and no one cared; now even Zhan Qingyun was on our side.

You really couldn’t mess around in the City King Mansion.

The ones living inside were Above Half-Immortal...

The City King Situ Xian was a bona fide super strong cultivator.

As for how strong he was, she had a rough idea: he was about even with the master.

This was also personally said by Xuanyuan Panshi.

"I’m not messing around. I just want to simplify the procedure for them," Lu Xiao said and then headed straight for the City King Mansion’s main gate.

Of course, before he even stepped on the long staircase at the entrance, he was stopped by the guards.

"Kid, didn’t they tell you to wait outside?"

"Move along, move along, don’t cause trouble."

"If Lord City King wants to see you, he’ll naturally see you," the guard waved Lu Xiao away.

Lu Xiao cracked a smile, "Sorry about that."

"No problem," the guard didn’t mind Lu Xiao’s apology, just taking it as the ignorance of youth.

"Here, guys, take these," Lu Xiao said as he pulled several Divine Treasures from his pocket and handed them to the guards.

The guard holding the money immediately rejected, "Kid, that won’t work, we..."

Halfway through his sentence, the guard froze because he glanced at the Divine Treasures in his hand: seven or eight of them, all with a face value of ten thousand.

Damn! He wouldn’t make that much in a year of hard work.

Which bureaucrat could withstand such a test!

"Ah, we really can’t do anything, we can only try to rush it for you, but I reckon it won’t have much effect, we’re just gatekeepers after all," the guard said while clenching the Divine Treasures tightly in his hand.

"No need to rush, my point is, consider this as compensation for your emotional distress," Lu Xiao said, grinning.

Guard: Eh???

Before the guard could react, Lu Xiao reached out and grabbed the collar of his uniform, then with a clang, knocked him to the ground.

"Everybody come and see, the guards of the City King Mansion are beating people up!" the next second, Lu Xiao shouted out loud.

Everyone was stunned, especially the guard Lu Xiao had knocked down, who was completely baffled.

WTF? Aren’t you the one hitting me?
