Chapter 61 Departure

  Ordinary people gaze at warriors and spiritual practitioners with eyes full of reverence and admiration, becoming one of them means being destined for greatness. Even the weakest warrior is far superior to ordinary people, in this world, strength is everything.

  Today, all the shops in Qingyun Town opened their doors earlier than before. Early in the morning, many people from the five major families of Qingyun Town, namely Qin, Lu, Yang, Wang and Luo, went to the square to maintain law and order.

  Today is undoubtedly the most lively and explosive day in Qingyun Town, with a sea of people gathering here, which only happens once every three years.

  "Less wandering around, hurry up and have breakfast. Your mother has specially made your favorite dish." Lu Shao Yu walked out of the room and saw his mother Luo Lan busy preparing breakfast.

  "Thank you, Mother." Lu Shao said, a sense of happiness spreading from his heart, undoubtedly the greatest gain he had obtained in this world since crossing over.

  "Today's match, you must be careful, Mother believes in you, you are like your father, and will become a strong one later." Roland said.

  Lu Shao didn't say much more. It seemed that in his mother's heart, she had always loved his father. As a younger generation, he didn't think it was right to say anything about this kind of thing.

  "Master, you must work hard today, if you don't enter the top five, I'm finished." Lu Xiaobai said.

  "What does it have to do with you if I don't enter the top five?" Lu Shaoyou asked in confusion.

  "I've spoken to many servants in the manor, and they all agree that your abilities are beyond question. Two hundred of us have chipped in a total of three hundred gold coins to bet on you making it into the top five. If you can't make it, I'm done for." said Lu Xiao Bai.

  "You're a fool." Lu Shaoyou glared at Lu Xiaobai, the 200 servants managed to scrape together 300 gold coins to bet on themselves winning, which was probably their entire net worth. But if they had used those 300 gold coins to bet on Dugu Binglan winning, they would have won 3,000 gold coins instead.

  "Your Highness, what is an idiot?" Lu Xiaobai asked with a puzzled expression, staring with his small eyes.

  Lu Shao said with a smile: "Two hundred and fifty is saying you are wise and powerful."

  Lu Xiaobai suddenly looked embarrassed and smiled, rubbing the back of his head, saying: "I'm not as good as Master Two Hundred Fifty-Five, Master is the real Two Hundred Fifty-Five."

  "You......" Lu Shaoyou suddenly spat out a mouthful of breakfast, his face turning beet red.

  "Shao You, are you ready? We should set off." Two figures walked in, carrying two different scents, one strong and one light. Lu Shao You knew at once that it was Lu Mei and Lu Wu Shuang, the two girls.

  The two women were obviously well-dressed today, and Lu Mei was even more alluring, with her figure subtly revealing fiery curves. Lu Wushuang, on the other hand, exuded elegance and refinement, with a noble bearing that made others feel like they couldn't get close to her, only able to admire from afar.

  "Alright, I'm almost done." Lu Shaoyou said lightly, and let out a satisfied burp. He had already eaten almost enough.

  "Shao You Ge, you'd better work hard!" Lu Mei's gentle voice reached Lu Shao You's side, and the strong fragrance almost made Lu Shao You's nose allergic.

  "Less roaming, go, mother is waiting for your good news." Luo Lan said to Lu Shao You.

  As Lu Shao-yu and his mother exchanged a few words, he immediately left the courtyard. The others in the Lu family seemed to be waiting at the main gate of the Lu residence at this time.

  Lu Shaoyou, Lu Wushuang, and Lu Xiaobai arrived at the entrance of the Lu family mansion, where they saw dozens of people waiting. At a glance, they spotted Zhao Hui, Lu Shaohu, as well as Eldest Uncle Lu Dong, Fourth Uncle Lu Xi, Second Aunt Lu Nan, Zhou Lixing, Zhou Haiming, and several other senior members of the Lu family. The rest were all relatives from within the Lu family.

  "Hmm." Seeing Lu Shaoyou, Lu Shaohu let out a cold hum from his nostrils. Zhou Haiming gazed at Lu Mei by Lu Shaoyou's side, also with a gloomy expression. From the look in his eyes, it seemed that Zhou Haiming had some affection for Lu Mei.

  "Relax a bit, don't be too tense." Lu Dong said to Lu Shaoyou, looking at the two of them from the Lu family this time, he was also secretly delighted. This time, it shouldn't be a big problem for both of them to enter the top five.

  Lu Shao nodded slightly, he was never nervous to begin with. After all, he had lived for two lifetimes and had a certain mindset. Even if he couldn't make it into the top five, it wasn't a big deal, he could just think of another way.

  "Take this with you." Lu Dong took out two jade tokens, each with a white ribbon on it, and handed them to Lu Shaoyou. On the tokens were written Lu Shaoyou's name and age.

  "Let's go." Lu Xi said, and then the Lu family walked out slowly, walking on the main street. Along the way, many people cast admiring and curious glances at the Lu family.

  On both sides of the street, however, were many slender and elegant young girls who gazed at Lu Shaoyou and Lu Shaohu with their eyes fixed on them, whispering something in a low voice, occasionally raising their heads, with shyness and admiration in their eyes.

  Looking at these girls, Lu Mei suddenly puffed out her chest and walked closely with Lu Shaoyou, almost sticking to his side. The many girls on both sides of the street immediately showed disappointment, their beauty was indeed no match for Lu Mei's.

  On the street, there were also many young men who admired and gazed at Lu Shaoyou and Lu Shaohu.

  "This time there are more people than usual." Lu Dong said along the way.

  "This time, there are many geniuses appearing in Qingyun Town, and many people have also come from some nearby towns." Lu Xi said.

  "I don't know if there will be a dark horse in this competition. If there is, it'll be interesting." said an elder of the Lu family.

  "There are already so many geniuses out there, and it's unlikely that another dark horse will emerge, but I won't rule out the possibility," said Lu Dong.

  Lu Shao Yu's mouth corner slightly revealed a hint of a smile, according to what he knew, this Dugu Bing Lan was indeed a dark horse, and he believed that when the time came, she would definitely surprise many people.

  After a while, Lu Shaoyou followed the Lu family and had already walked to the entrance of the square. As they approached the square, he saw that the gate was almost blocked, and Lu Shaoyou couldn't help but shake his head in dismay. It's the same everywhere in this world as it was in my past life - wherever you go, there are always the most people gathered to watch the excitement.

  "Let's go in from the back," said Lu Dong, as one of the five major families in Qingyun Town and a participating family, this back door had been left open since early morning.

  "We've met before, old master." After arriving at the back door, a young member of the Lu family had already come out to greet him.

  The crowd passed through the back door to the edge of the square, and this back door was much quieter. However, looking out at the sea of people outside the square, Lu Shaoyou's calm heart couldn't help but be stirred up. There were really too many people here. At a glance, even the concerts of top stars in his previous life didn't have such a large crowd. There were tens of thousands of people.

  "Ludong, you're finally here." Just then, a figure appeared in front of the Lu family crowd. The newcomer was middle-aged, with a rugged build and wearing a long robe, exuding an extraordinary aura. His eyebrows were particularly striking, being pure white. Behind him stood three men and one woman, all middle-aged, each with an extraordinary air about them.
