Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 853 - 365: Eastern Dynasty, Crude Martial Artists (Part 2)

But if that is the case, where did she, who just entered the Divine Presence this year, gain the strength to strategize?

Lu Yunzhu walked to the stone table, raised his hand to the edge of the wine pot, and said, "Just a little understanding of the ways of worldly insight."

Pei Wanyu smiled indifferently, "Aren't you afraid that I'll use your list to strategize and make those names empty words?"

Lu Yunzhu took off his mask and placed it on the stone table, taking a swig of rice wine from the pot without the slightest fluctuation in his voice, "I am absolute."

Pei Wanyu turned and walked out, "Jin'an won't be back for a while, you needn't waste your time."

Lu Yunzhu placed the wine pot back on the table, lightly tapping the scabbard of the Netherworld Validation with his fingertips, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

"I see."

Lu Yunzhu turned and looked in the direction of the Southern Great Realm, after a moment of silence, he put the mask back on.

"Brother, this is the path you chose to walk..."

West Huang City, the largest city in Ju Hai Province, was the first major city in the west of the Eastern Dynasty. After being forced out of Shengjing by the allied forces of the Jiuli Dynasty and the Shenmiao Dynasty, the then Emperor of the Dynasty retreated here and eventually used it as a base to fight back.

Thus, this city was also known as the West Capital of the Eastern Dynasty.

After hastening for half a month, Lu Jin'an pulled the reins and looked at this majestic city.

Zhiyu, already impatient from riding, slipped from Lu Jin'an's arms to the ground and tugged at his trouser hem, urging, "Master, hurry up, hurry up, Zhiyu is starving!"

"Don't rush."

Lu Jin'an dismounted, holding the reins in one hand and Zhiyu's small hand in the other, heading towards the city gate.

All the way here, he was in quite a hurry, but after catching up with the Eastern Border Army heading south, he wasn't in a rush anymore.

The speed of an army of several hundred thousand was not fast, and the Yanbei Pass Border Army's pace did not seem like they were in a hurry to suppress a rebellion. With the information gathered along the way, Dongfang Xinglan wouldn't have any issues for the time being.

Moreover, he found that although he wouldn't face any health problems from not eating after entering the Eastern Dynasty, he could feel a long-lost sense of hunger.

It was somewhat amusing.

Lu Jin'an led the white horse and Zhiyu close to the city gate. Although the Eastern Dynasty was engulfed in flames, this West Capital seemed quite festive.

The soldiers standing at the city gate inspected every person entering the city with rigid posture, yet they also shared hearty laughs during idle chat, appearing quite relaxed.

'The West Capital, originally the fiefdom of Prince Ji Dongfang Zeyang, but Dongfang Zeyang inexplicably died before Dongfang Xinglan returned inside the border, resulting in the heir dying with him, and eventually, the title was inherited by the third son, Dongfang Xingtu...'

As the information obtained along the way flashed through his mind, Lu Jin'an silently pondered if Dongfang Zeyang had been granted death by Emperor Jia Ning for not bringing Dongfang Xinglan back inside the border?

But why did the heir die with him?

Did he lose to his brother Dongfang Xingtu?

But involving the title of the West Capital, was there no opinion from the Imperial City of the Eastern Dynasty?

As he thought, a voice sounded, "Young hero, your horse is truly fine, is it for sale?"

Lu Jin'an turned and glanced at several soldiers eyeing the Iron Hoof Cloud, and said flatly, "Not for sale."

"Not for sale for any price?" the soldier persisted, "Not to anyone?"

"Not for sale."

"What a pity," the leading soldier regretfully shook his head, and without checking the pass for entering the city, waved him on, "Go in, go in."

Watching Lu Jin'an enter the city, the soldier turned and instructed, "Go, inform the prince, another fine horse has entered the city."

On the main road within the city, Lu Jin'an's gaze swept over the surrounding buildings and people, feeling as if he had arrived in the mortal world.

Every commoner within sight had gone through Body Refinement, yet most people's realms were very low, stronger than ordinary people, but not outside the scope of ordinary folk.

Thus, it truly felt like the mortal world.

'This West Capital is located in the Central Domain, such a wasted piece of prime land.'

Lu Jin'an's expression slightly darkened. If the Thirty-Six Domains occupied by the Three Great Dynasties developed, the strength of the Human Clan would certainly rise another level, and the pressure at the Two Realms Pass would be much lessened.

The word waste doesn't even begin to describe the sins of certain people from the Upper and Lower Realms.

Thinking this, he felt Zhiyu suddenly shake his large hand vigorously, "Master, that, that!"

Lu Jin'an turned to look, and Zhiyu was eagerly staring at the candied hawthorn being peddled.

Lu Jin'an smiled and gathered his thoughts temporarily, leading Zhiyu to the vendor and saying, "I'll take them all."

"Young hero, you're too kind... young hero, take care!"

"Master, live forever!"

Zhiyu cheered in delight, taking a skewer of candied hawthorn and munching away. As long as it was something sweet, this little girl was not picky at all.

"Master, you have some too."

"You eat." Lu Jin'an, carrying a bundle of candied hawthorn skewered on straw, patted her head, "There's lots of delicious things here, keep watching ahead, if you want to eat something just take it, but don't run too far, understand?"

"Understood!"

Zhiyu happily trotted and visited vendor after vendor, her little eyes focused solely on food, and she wouldn't glance at stalls without edibles. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Lu Jin'an followed at an unhurried pace, paying for Zhiyu's items while observing the surrounding vendors, pondering if there were any nice little treasures to bring back for his Master and the others.

Sadly, after looking around, he hadn't found anything appealing.

Strolling leisurely, he arrived at the entrance of the largest restaurant in the city, Zuixiang Inn, and the moment a fast-stepping attendant took the reins, his eyes lit up, "Young hero, this horse is truly fine... didn't the city gate guards offer you a price for it?"
