Chapter 53 Fe Cai

53 Fe Cai

Lu Zhen looked at the person who was pointing his spear at him with an emotionless expression; however, Lu Zhen's crimson eyes had an amused glint, as if he was watching an idiot.

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.

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.
