Chapter 59
“My sword has fought with me for many years and killed countless foes. It should have its own room. However, as I never part with my sword, two rooms are enough for now.”
Lu Zhou looked calm, but he did not know in his heart whether to cry or laugh. He could not believe there was such a neurotic person in this world. However, to his surprise, he saw Little Yuan’er touch her chin thoughtfully. Then, she nodded approvingly and said, “I agree that you do need two rooms.”
“Please forgive me, my respected guest!” When the innkeeper saw that the Divine Court expert was not angry, his manner became much friendlier and more polite.
“Hold on!” Lu Zhou said suddenly.
That gave the man and the innkeeper a pause, and they both turned to look at him, who appeared to be just a weak old man they could easily push to the ground.
“What is it, Old Mister?” the innkeeper asked.
“I want a heaven-grade room.”
“But…”
He had just reached the first corner when a man in blue robes blocked his way. The man was smiling with his arms crossed over his chest, and his aura was ordinary. There was nothing unusual about him at all.
“Please let me through!” Zhuo Ping said while frowning.
The man in blue robes kept his smile as he said, “I’m sorry.”
“Make way!”
No sooner had Zhuo Ping said that than the man raised his right hand, drew a sword from his back, swung it as quickly as lightning, and put it back into its sheath. His movements were natural, smooth, and completed in the blink of an eye. It was as if he had practiced it over tens of thousands of times.
After that, he walked toward the heaven-grade room without even looking back.
Zhuo Ping was holding his long sword with a shocked look on his face. He stood there, unmoving, as if he had turned into stone.
A few moments later, the long sword cracked and broke, falling onto the ground.
Plop!
Then, Zhuo Ping fell to the ground as well, with blood gushing out of his neck.
Inside the room, the swordsman in blue robes sat expressionlessly beside the table. With a smile on his face, he said to himself, “Where are you…Master?”
