"This young man is really strong..."
"This is incredible! I've only seen people riding horses, but never seen anyone carrying a horse and running. Today I've really broadened my horizons."
"I thought it was a wild animal that escaped, but it turned out to be a person. I was so scared!"
"Look, mother, that man is so stupid. He can't even ride a horse, but he lets the horse ride him."
The people at the city gate pointed at the man and whispered, not paying any attention to what he was shouting.
Only the guards were serious.
"Who are you and what do you do?"
He asked seriously.
The man ran over in a few breaths and put down the brown horse on his shoulders.
The brown horse neighed and ran away before the man had time to pull the reins.
"return!"
The brown horse looked back at him, shook its head and snorted, hesitated to slow down, but stood far away and refused to come closer.
"I'm asking you a question!" the guard shouted.
"My name is Tan Linfei, and I am a disciple of Miaoyun Manor in the southwest of Jianghuan Lake."
The man in blue, Tan Linfei, clasped his hands together and said to the guard with a serious expression.
Without waiting for the guard to reply, he shifted his gaze and stared at Luo Zheyu who had already stepped into the city gate.
"He is a demon, we can't let him in."
Upon hearing this, the guard looked him up and down.
The people waiting to enter the city heard it clearly and couldn't help but look at him and then at Luo Zheyu.
Tan Linfei had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, his brows were slightly wrinkled, his eyes were firm and clear, his lips were slightly pursed, and his whole body was tense.
Except for two strands of hair on the sides of his face, no other hair was flying. All the hair was neatly tied behind his head, looking fresh and clean. His blue and white shirt was also neatly dressed. There was no sign that he had just run for several thousand meters while carrying a horse.
In the opposite direction to him.
Luo Zheyu remained calm and stood upright. The hem of his red dress was lifted by the breeze, fluttering in the air, occasionally reflecting tiny gold specks. He wore a white belt lightly around his waist and wore no ornaments. His wide sleeves hung naturally on both sides. His black hair was half-covered, dancing with the wind, glistening in the sunlight.
The slightly raised eyebrows, the slightly raised golden pupils, the thin lips with a cold light, the proud and independent appearance, making people dare not look at her closely.
The two men looked at each other, and Tan Linfei became more and more nervous. He was uneasy, clenched his fists, and quietly reached into the bag behind him.
The demonic aura was strong, and it was most likely a large demon. Even with the help of weapons, he would probably not be able to defeat it...
Mi Xin stood behind Luo Zheyu holding the old monkey and staring at Tan Linfei. She was more nervous than Luo Zheyu himself.
The air seemed to freeze, and neither side moved.
Until a word with an accent was interrupted, breaking the stagnation of the scene.
"Young man, is this your first time in Bicheng?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Linfei frowned and looked in the direction of the voice.
The person who spoke was an old man who was carrying a load on his shoulder. He had gray hair, a face full of wrinkles, and a smile with a few missing teeth.
He didn't understand what the other person meant by saying this.
The old man put down his carrying pole, rubbed his shoulders, and sighed: "This is how it is in Bicheng. Just get used to it. Don't make a fuss."
Tan Linfei frowned even more tightly.
What's the meaning?
If he wasn't most likely to lose to the monster, he would have attacked it long ago.
"You said this young master is a demon, but is it because of his eye color?"
Tan Linfei nodded.
That's true, ordinary people don't have golden eyes, only monsters have that.
Ordinary people cannot see the evil spirit, but can judge it based on these appearances.
"She just has a pair of heterochromatic eyes. How can you say she is a monster?" the old man said calmly.
"Yes, yes, it's unusual." Others echoed.
"Tsk, outsiders have little experience."
"There are many people with heterochromatic eyes in Bi City. They have lived in Bi City for generations. Could it be that they are also monsters? You, an outsider, will be beaten in the city for talking nonsense like this!"
"Impossible, how can a person grow golden eyes!"
Tan Linfei's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a mosquito to death, and he couldn't help feeling confused.
"Brother, look."
The boy who was standing with the woman picked up the child who was clinging to his legs and chewing on him, and turned the child's face towards Tan Linfei.
The one or two-year-old child looked at Tan Linfei, grinning with his mouth wide open, saliva dripping down his chin.
The bright red eyes sparkled in the sunlight like a pair of rubies.
"My sister also has a pair of heterochromatic eyes, very beautiful."
However, Tan Linfei did not sense any demonic aura from the child. He was stunned, feeling that the knowledge and skills he had trusted for a long time were challenged.
but……
You can ignore this for now.
"He is a demon, he has demonic aura, he is different from you!"
In response, the guards and the people waiting in line to enter the city just smiled and ignored it.
There are outsiders coming to Bicheng every day, but the city gate is surrounded by mountains and forests, so few people come in from here.
Often, strangers would point at the people of the city and call them monsters, and they were tired of explaining it. The young man in front of him was not the first, and he would not be the last.
Luo Zheyu bowed to the people around him to thank them for their help. Finally, he looked at Tan Linfei, turned around, and was about to go into the city with Mi Xin.
From Tan Linfei's perspective, the monster glanced at him expressionlessly with contempt and disdain, not wanting to pay any attention to him. It flicked its long sleeves and was about to go into the city to harm people.
Others are ordinary people, they can't see any evil spirit and just don't listen to advice.
He has been practicing for twenty years, and he cannot allow such a powerful monster to harm people in places where humans gather.
Master also said that we should take it as our responsibility to subdue demons and we should not be cowardly when encountering demons.
"Don't even think about harming anyone, you bold monster!"
With a loud roar, he pulled out a long sword from his bag, unsheathed it and rushed towards Luo Zheyu, with the tip of the sword pointing at the latter's vest.
He was as quiet as a virgin and as agile as a rabbit. Before the guards could react to stop him, he had already rushed forward, with the tip of his sword only an inch away from touching Luo Zheyu's back.
Mi Xin heard the noise and turned around quickly, just in time to see this scene.
Her mouth gradually opened wider, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she couldn't control her expression, which looked a bit ferocious.
Shout loudly.
"Small--"
In a flash, Luo Zheyu slightly turned sideways, his body was light and swift, the tip of the sword was avoided, and after stabbing into the air, it moved forward by inertia.
He raised his hand seemingly slowly but actually quickly, with natural movements, and his two slender and clean index and middle fingers firmly grasped the tip of the sword.
"……Heart……"
Mi Xin uttered the remaining word and felt a little out of breath.
Tan Linfei pulled the sword with both hands but couldn't move it. He let go of the hilt with his left hand, and his fingers flew, and he was ready to fight again by pinching the magic formula.
Buzz...
Luo Zheyu flicked his fingers, and the sword vibrated. Then the long sword and Tan Linfei were knocked out by the force of the sword and slid more than a meter away.
The spell was also interrupted.
"good!"
The people who were watching the show clapped excitedly.
It's really exciting. It would be even more exciting if we could fight for another 300 rounds.
Luo Zheyu straightened his sleeves, his face calm and expressionless.
He is very strong and possesses supernatural powers, but he knows little about magic spells. It is best to knock the opponent down before he can use his magic spells.
The other party had a good idea, which was to force him to reveal his true identity. Even if he couldn't defeat him by then, he would have plenty of helpers.
…
Tan Linfei wanted to get up and fight again, but the guard pointed a knife at his neck. When he was about to resist, the guard had already seen through his intention.
"Is Miaoyun Manor going against Bicheng?!"
"He's a demon!"
"He has entered the city. Whether he is a demon or not, you don't need to judge. Please show me the token that proves my identity."
The guards began to suspect him.
Tan Linfei was extremely angry and stared at Luo Zheyu.
The latter turned to look at him, with the corners of his mouth raised.
The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and his golden pupils revealed a hint of danger, as if cold air surrounded the person he locked his eyes on, bringing a biting chill that gradually penetrated into the bone marrow.
Mi Xin pulled the old monkey's hair feeling somewhat guilty.
Luo Zheyu was a demon, she knew it very well.
But how could she possibly tell it out loud when the other party had saved her several times? She even wanted to cover it up for him, let alone say it out loud.
But looking at Tan Linfei's confident look, he felt a little guilty and scared.
"grumble!"
Bang!
The old monkey accidentally pulled out a few hairs and screamed in pain, then waved its hairy claws to slap Mi Xin's hand.
…
"I'm hosting you today, what do you want?"
After leaving the city gate, Luo Zheyu took out a gold bar from his sleeve, exchanged it for universal silver at the bank, and said to Mi Xin.
Mi Xin didn't expect that Lord Carp was actually a wealthy demon, and she immediately admired him.
Currency was rarely used in the village, and it was the first time in her life that she had seen so much silver.
"What is this for? It's cute."
Mi Xin grabbed a small brown clay doll.
The old monkey also wanted to reach out to grab her, but she was afraid that the old monkey would be crushed, so she quickly pulled it back.
"Girl, fill the bowl this little doll is holding with water and it will pee."
As the stall owner spoke, he picked up a kettle from the side and poured water into the bowl held by the clay figure.
Soon, the standing little clay figure began to urinate, and a thin stream of water sprayed upwards.
"Eh... frivolous, why did you let me watch this!"
Mi Xin pouted, covered her eyes and ran away.
"...You came here to see it yourself..." the stall owner muttered speechlessly.
"It smells so good!" Mi Xin munched on a bun and followed the aroma into the roast duck restaurant.
"Boss, pack two."
Money bag Luo Zheyu is only responsible for giving money.
Mi Xin ate one and the old monkey ate one.
If the guests are happy, the host will be happy too.
…
"Hey, Brother Yu..."
On the street, Mi Xin came over while chewing on a roast duck leg and whispered, "There are so many people here. I've never seen so many people! But..."
"Maybe it's because this is the first time I've seen so many people, I always feel like some of them are weird... They seem to be staring at you intentionally or unintentionally."
And it's not because you are good-looking that they are staring at you.
Mi Xin thought to herself.
"You're not wrong."
"They are targeting me because they are the same as Tan Linfei."
Why did Tan Linfei stare at Luo Zheyu? Because the latter was a demon.
Mi Xin didn't expect that so many people had discovered that Luo Zheyu was a demon, and they were all powerful people.
But at this moment, Luo Zheyu's expression did not change. He walked calmly among the crowd, not worried at all.
I couldn't help but stand in awe.
With the feeling of worry and fear in my heart, the roast duck in my mouth suddenly felt tasteless.
"Then...should we escape?"
"What are you afraid of?" Luo Zheyu lowered his head and glanced at her. This expression made him look even more arrogant. His golden eyes were cold, and the upturned corners of his eyes did not show frivolity, but added a bit of demonic aura.
"What can they do to me?"
…
"This house is so beautiful, what is it used for?"
Mi Xin stopped in front of the three-story building and exclaimed.
The eaves and pillars are covered with red, green and pink ribbons and colorful balls, which indeed looks much more beautiful than the plain house.
Just as she was expressing her curiosity, the window on the second floor suddenly opened.
A woman in gauze, holding a handkerchief, leaned against the window to bask in the sun.
The sunlight was bright, shining on her thin gauze dress, revealing her beautiful figure.
"This sister is so beautiful, what is she wearing..."
Mi Xin gave full play to her curiosity.
“…I’m leaving.”
Luo Zheyu just took a look and dragged her away.
“…Huh?”
Mi Xin was at a loss.
