Chapter 588: Chapter 588: Another Big Fool

Lu Xiao didn’t take Feng Tianxing and Yan Xiaoyue with him because their strength was somewhat lacking.

He was prone to getting into trouble himself, and if they encountered someone truly ruthless, he couldn’t guarantee their safety.

Besides, he needed to visit Linzi and chat with Red Eyes every three days, which would be hard to explain if he brought the two of them along.

So, after leaving a letter behind, Lu Xiao left Royal City alone.

Of course, he took the liberty of borrowing Feng Tianxing’s horse when he left.

There was no need for the carriage, as that thing was useless to him.

After all, the night held no dangers for him.

In fact, he preferred the time when Red Eyes made their appearance over the daylight hours.

Leaving Royal City, Lu Xiao set off toward the southeast.

The distance from Royal City to Xuanyuan Tomb was about five hundred kilometers, and Lu Xiao planned to arrive in about seven days.

This way, there was no need to rush, and he could take in the local customs and scenery of Divine Continent Realm along the way.

To be fair, the scenery of Divine Continent Realm was absolutely stunning.

"Brother Ma, it seems we’re approaching Hushan City ahead, should we stop and have some fun?" Lu Xiao asked the black horse he was riding while holding the map.

Of course, Brother Ma didn’t respond to Lu Xiao at all and just kept clip-clopping down the road on his own.

"If you don’t say anything, I’ll take that as a yes."

"Let’s go, to Hushan City."

"The map marks Hushan City as a gourmet city," Lu Xiao noted, pointing to the symbol on the map.

The symbol was similar to a rest area sign on the highway, with a fork and knife crossing each other.

Half an hour later, Lu Xiao rode the black horse into the city.

"Weird, why is it so deserted?"

"This city isn’t small, how come every household is closing their doors in broad daylight?"

Lu Xiao felt something was eerie about how empty the city was, with only the occasional sighting of elderly, children, and women.

"Excuse me, elder..." Upon encountering another old man, Lu Xiao reined in his horse and called out.

"Ah, another big fool," the old man glanced at Lu Xiao and then shook his head.

Lu Xiao: ???

Whoa, why are you cursing at me for no reason?

It’s our first encounter as total strangers, and you’re calling me a big fool straight away, isn’t that a bit much?

"Hey, you old coot, stand right there!" Lu Xiao wasn’t polite anymore and bellowed.

The old man didn’t even pause for a moment and ran off without a trace.

Lu Xiao was completely baffled.

What in the world was all this?

"Never mind, maybe the old guy’s a bit off in the head, let’s find someone else to ask," Lu Xiao sighed, lifting his head to look around.

Before he could find another person to inquire, thunderous footsteps came from the end of the street.

Soon, a mass of figures appeared.

Synchronized in black armor and standard-issue long swords, an intense aura of severity approached.

Lu Xiao frowned. Were these... soldiers?

"Young man, hello!" While Lu Xiao was still stunned, the group of soldiers in black armor with long swords had already approached, one of them dashing straight up to Lu Xiao with fervent excitement in his eyes.

"Uh, hello?"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Fang Heng, Centurion of the Long Sword Army, pleased to meet you."

Lu Xiao pursed his lips in silence. Pleased to meet me? Why don’t you tell me what you’re so pleased about? We don’t even know each other, right?

Could it be that my identity as the new Sect Leader of Xuanyuan Tomb had already spread far and wide?

"I’m Lu Xiao. So, Centurion Fang Heng, I..."

"Great! Lu Xiao, what a good name! From now on, you’re a new recruit in the Long Sword Army’s Tiger Roar Corps!"

"Come on, fall in!" Fang Heng called out twice, slung an arm around Lu Xiao’s shoulder, and started walking.

Lu Xiao was completely dumbfounded. New recruit?

Are you mistaken, big brother? I’m just passing through...

"Centurion Fang Heng, I..."

"No ifs or buts. Now, put on the Black Armor and take this Long Sword," Fang Heng handed Lu Xiao a suit of black armor and a long sword.

"Once you’re dressed, follow me out of the city and let’s obliterate those scoundrels from Lion Mane City!"
