I Can See Through All Things' Information-Chapter 469 - 313: Entering the City, An Unexpected Event
Chapter 469 -313: Entering the City, An Unexpected Event
“I didn’t expect such powerful Mutant Beasts to appear outside, it seems the changes in the world since the spiritual energy recovery have been faster than we expected,” the elder doctor said with a somewhat grave expression.
“Indeed, and according to what those two uncles said just now,
those two Mutant Beasts both appeared to be quite spiritually aware, their intelligence is not inferior to that of ordinary people,” Lu Qing said.
“It’s unknown how many such Mutant Beasts have appeared in the world and how many are benign,” the elder doctor said with some concern.
He had also heard about the matter of the white wolf mentioned by the merchant traveler earlier.
Commanding a pack of wolves to attack cities, it was clear that the white wolf was not friendly towards humanity.
If these newly emerged sentient Mutant Beasts all bore hostility towards humanity,
then I fear that the days ahead for the people of the world will become difficult.
“The trend is as such, and the powers of the world are bound to change.
During the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era, it wasn’t just our human race that was revered; there were other clans in existence.
Therefore, Master, this is the trend of the times, we need not worry too much,” Lu Qing comforted his Master upon seeing his worry.
“Mm, I know,” the elder doctor nodded.
He had read the Jade Scroll recorded by Lu Qing in the past two days.
And he knew quite a bit about many things from the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era.
He understood that under the spiritual energy recovery, the awakening of Mutant Beasts and the revival of various clans are also the trend of the times, the direction of the Heavenly Dao.
“The city gates are about to open!”
Just then, someone shouted out loud.
Above the city gate, someone was seen waving a yellow flag.
That was the signal that the city gates were about to open, and the waiting crowd and caravans outside began to stir, starting to line up.
Lu Qing and the others, leading the horse cart, lined up behind a caravan.
Just as the people outside had formed their line, a commotion sounded from the city gates.
The two huge city doors began slowly to open to both sides.
“Sister Hu, you’re about to be able to return home!” Little Yan said to Hu Zezhi happily.
“Mm,” Hu Zezhi nodded slightly.
Yet, her expression was somewhat complex, both happy and apprehensive.
With a great noise, as everyone waited, the city gates fully opened.
First, many merchants and pedestrians surged out from the city, and then it was the turn of people like Lu Qing, who were waiting outside, to enter the city.
Naturally, there was also a fee for entering the city, and Ma Gu went to pay with a purse in hand.
The one collecting the entry fees was still the same tall, imposing man from last time.
With the experience from last time, Ma Gu did not try to be clever and stuff extra money into the purse this time.
He honestly offered up the Silver according to the actual cost per person to enter the city.
The powerful-looking Han accepted the silver with a usual expression, recording it in the accounts.
But when he raised his head to look at Ma Gu again, he let out a slight gasp.
“I recognize you, it seems it was only last month that you entered the city, right?”
Ma Gu was momentarily startled, then quickly displayed a flattering smile and said, “My Lord indeed has a good memory, it’s true, we only entered the city last month.”
The imposing Han looked up at the others behind Ma Gu, and when he saw Lu Qing, he was momentarily surprised.
However, he quickly suppressed this moment of surprise and his face returned to a calm smile.
“Then you’ve returned quite quickly. Did you enjoy your visit to Central State?”
“Thanks to your blessing, Lord, it was a smooth journey, and we saw many splendid sights that truly broadened our horizons.”
“That’s good, okay then, there’s no issue with the entry fee, you may enter.”
Watching the backs of Lu Qing and others as they entered the city, the imposing Han’s smile slowly faded and grew stern.
He took out a painting scroll from the drawer under the table and gently opened it.
On the scroll was the image of a young man holding a War Saber, looking spirited, whose face was extremely similar to that of Lu Qing.
After seeing the person in the painting, the Great Han couldn’t help but draw in a breath of cold air.
“It really is him, but didn’t we receive news that he only left the Holy City three days ago? How could he have returned so quickly?”
Remembering the instructions from the City Lord a couple of days ago, the Great Han didn’t dare to delay.
He called over his deputy to take over the collection of city entry fees.
This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.
He then took the scroll and left in a hurry.
“Mr. Lu, did that city guard recognize you just now?” Hu Zezhi asked as they walked along the street.
“Oh, what makes you say that?” Lu Qing raised an eyebrow.
“I noticed that the city guard’s expression changed when he saw you; he seemed quite shocked. He must know who you are,” Hu Zezhi said with certainty.
Lu Qing was genuinely surprised; he hadn’t expected Hu Zezhi to notice that detail.
He said nonchalantly, “Maybe, but it doesn’t concern us, no need to mind it.”
“Oh.”
Seeing that Lu Qing and the elder doctor did not appear concerned, Hu Zezhi also let the matter go.
Lu Qing smiled.
Of course, he had noticed the Great Han’s unusual behavior; the man’s gaze clearly showed he knew who Lu Qing was.
But since Azure Dragon City was one of the defenses for Central State and must be closely connected to the Holy City, having special means of communication was not surprising.
That they would know his appearance was also to be expected.
After all, after that battle in the Holy City, his information must have already spread among the Major Sect Forces.
As long as they did not bother him, Lu Qing didn’t mind.
“Mr. Lu, where do you plan to stay tonight? I’ve grown up in this city since I was young and am very familiar with it. I can take you,” Hu Zezhi offered.
“It’s still early; we won’t be staying in the city tonight. After we drop you off at home, we’ll be setting off,” Lu Qing replied with a smile.
