Chapter 278 - 239: Lu Xuan’s Name Proclaimed to the World
Mu Yun saw Lu Xuan in an instant, reacting even faster than Li Chengxing, his old face, marked by the traces of time, instantly filled with a warm smile that was almost ingratiating.
Ignoring Li Chengxing beside him, Mu Yun quickly stepped forward, greeting Lu Xuan, even changing his address from Mr. Lu to Lu.
"It’s Lu!"
Li Chengxing, seeing this, blew out his beard and glared with anger, hurriedly following behind Mu Yun and responding loudly to Lu Xuan.
"It’s Lu, finally, we’ve been eagerly waiting for you."
The Profound Bird Guards stationed on both sides of the gate witnessed this scene, their eyes wide open in shock, focusing intently on Lu Xuan.
The ignorant ones would think that Mu Yun and Li Chengxing, these esteemed Deputy Directors, have an extraordinarily deep relationship with Lu Xuan.
Even Lu Xuan couldn’t help but feel extremely surprised; Mr. Mu’s enthusiasm seemed excessively warm.
Of course, what puzzled and intrigued the Profound Bird Guards the most was the identity of this seemingly very young, extraordinary gentleman.
A noble family member?
A disciple of a major sect?
Or, a royal or noble?
"Lu, now that you’re here, please don’t stand on ceremony with us!" Li Chengxing smiled warmly, his tone full of enthusiasm.
"Yes, Lu, please come in quickly!"
Mu Yun also hurriedly chimed in, his face smiling as brightly as the warm sun of spring.
Mu Yun was determined to cling to Lu Xuan today; no one could stop him.
Li Chengxing and Mu Yun, one on the left, the other on the right, stood before Lu Xuan, their bodies slightly leaning forward, showing respect.
At the same time, they extended their hands in a "please" gesture, their eyes filled with earnestness, indicating for Lu Xuan to proceed.
This scene was simply shocking, like a thunderbolt exploding over everyone’s heads.
The Profound Bird Guards, who had been standing stiffly by the side, had their eyes wide like brass bells, mouths agape, jaws nearly dropping to the ground, faces full of disbelief.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan said nothing much, only slightly nodded to Mu Yun and Li Chengxing in acknowledgment.
Just as Lu Xuan was about to lift his foot, he unexpectedly paused, as if sensing something unusual from afar behind him.
However, this abrupt and strange action was like a heavy hammer striking the hearts of Li Chengxing and Mu Yun.
They were full of suspicion, their faces puzzled, but ultimately restrained their curiosity and didn’t ask much.
Lu Xuan placed his hands leisurely behind his back, his expression steady and calm, his posture upright as a pine, not turning back, just quietly standing in place.
Strange, why did the old fellow from the palace suddenly come out to find him?
Could it be, that the Empress still has unfinished tasks to command?
Or, does this old eunuch want revenge for the eunuch he had slain?
While Lu Xuan was deep in thought, time flew by, and from the distant sky, a ghost-like shadow appeared before everyone’s eyes.
This shadow, like an arrow leaving the bowstring, instantly pierced through thick clouds, diving rapidly toward the Profound Bird Guard Headquarters’ gate.
In just the blink of an eye, the shadow hovered stably in mid-air, slowly descending to the open ground.
This unexpected change startled Mu Yun and Li Chengxing, both shivering, exchanging a glance filled with caution and fear.
Because the speed of the newcomer was truly beyond their imagination.
Such terrifying speed!
Even standing at the pinnacle of Martial Arts Grandmasters, they had not been aware of his trace at the first moment.
Unlike Li Chengxing and Mu Yun, the Profound Bird Guards on both sides of the gate acted as if pulled by the same string.
They moved swiftly in unison, forming a neat line horizontally.
Each one’s gaze was sharp, fully focused on the rapidly approaching unexpected visitor.
At the same time, their right hands uniformly rested on their sword hilts, ready to draw their weapons at any moment.
"This is!"
Mu Yun and Li Chengxing focused intently on the newcomer’s face, and their suspended hearts suddenly relaxed.
The tight and fearful tension just now instantly vanished without a trace.
Who did they think it was?
Turns out it’s that old monster from the deep palace!
Moreover, the only person who could order this old monster out of the palace was the current Emperor.
Grand Steward of Internal Servants, Mr. Leng!
Divine Mansion Realm Small Success, a formidable existence with one foot in the Great Success of Divine Mansion Realm.
Mr. Leng landed steadily behind Lu Xuan, his hands holding a black scroll-like it was a rare treasure, cautiously.
On the scroll, a black Profound Bird pattern flickered as if ready to soar through the clouds, intricately embroidered, perfect without flaw.
In the next moment, Mr. Leng slightly bowed, his tone exceedingly respectful.
"Mr. Lu, hope you have been well."
"I never expected, after parting at the palace, we would have the honor to witness Mr. Lu’s presence again!"
As the Grand Eunuch of the palace, an entity in the Divine Mansion Realm, showing such active warmth, Lu Xuan certainly wouldn’t refuse him from afar.
The next second, Lu Xuan slowly lowered his hands from behind his back, his movements leisurely and unhurried.
Then, Lu Xuan calmly turned around, looking directly at Mr. Leng, he softly spoke.
"So it’s the Grand Steward gracing us with your presence. I apologize for the oversight and for not welcoming you from afar."
