Rumble, rumble, rumble …
The wheels rolled as a carriage pulled three boys and a girl, as well as a wheelchair, towards Zhenfeng College. Lu Ping and the other three had hired a carriage to travel in the end. Morin was very happy at first, but after chatting with the cheerful driver for a while, his mood immediately sank.
Pa! Pa!
The driver waved his whip, but it only made a sound in the air. He was very careful not to let the whip fall on the black horse.
"How was it? It ran fast, didn't it?" The driver said proudly.
"That's pretty fast." Lu Ping nodded.
"I knew it. I always felt that my horse had to at least have a Soul of Strength at the third firmament. You are students of Zhenfeng College. Help me see if it's true." The driver said.
The power of souls was not a secret. Everyone in the continent knew of its existence. Many colleges also had cultivation materials that were circulated outside. It was common for ordinary people to sense Soul power and even break through a realm with these materials. However, most people could only sense one or two types. It was already not bad if they were at the first firmament or second firmament. That was why everyone felt that Lu Ping was too useless. He could not sense Soul power for three years. Either he did not put in the effort or he had no talent. Otherwise, even a pig would be able to sense Soul power if he received systematic instruction in the college.
Yes, animals could also sense Soul power. For example, the driver was talking incessantly about his beloved horse.
Lu Ping, Su Tang, and Siffin did not say a word. They all looked at Morin.
Morin's expression was gloomy. He looked like he wanted to silence them. One of his hands was stuffed into a leather pouch inside his clothes. He did not take it out.
Even a horse had a Soul of Strength. This matter really … hurt his pride.
Su Tang held back her laughter. She was at the sixth firmament of the Soul of Strength. She was more familiar with the Soul of Strength. She then said to the driver, "Uncle, this horse does have a Soul of Strength, but it's not as high as you said. It's not even at the first firmament."
"Is that so?" The coachman was a little disappointed. In the end, he still thought too much. Many people, no matter how hard they tried, could only stay at the first or second layer of the sky. What's more, it was just a horse. It wasn't even a demonic beast with special abilities. It was already quite rare for it to have a little bit of perception.
The coachman seemed to have thought this through very quickly. He smiled again. "That's good too. It's better than nothing. Don't you agree? "
"Calm down, calm down!" Lu Ping hurried to hold Mo Lin down. Mo Lin took out a needle that had been broken into three parts from his leather bag. He shook the needle and found that it was a foot long. If he stabbed it into Mo Lin's body, he would be able to deliver the poison to any part of his body.
"Don't stop me!" Morin struggled. "Do you really think an assassin has no temper? I'm telling you, I don't even blink when I kill people. "
"I know, I know." Lu Ping hurriedly said. But at this moment, the carriage suddenly came to a halt, causing the four people in the carriage to stagger.
"Are you afraid now?!" Morin shouted. Su Tang hurriedly tried to explain, but when he looked, he saw that the carriage had stopped because someone had blocked their way. A row of black-armored soldiers neatly lined up in front of the carriage.
The coachman hurriedly jumped down from the carriage and went forward. The city guards of Canyon Peak City were not people he would dare to offend even if he had ten times the courage. At this moment, his face was filled with fear. He didn't know why he had been stopped. Could it be … that they had taken a fancy to his horse with a Strength Soul?
The coachman felt a stabbing pain in his heart. But before he could say anything, the leader of the black-armored soldiers had already walked forward. He didn't even look at the coachman and went straight to the front of the carriage.
"Who is Lu Ping?" he asked the four people in the carriage.
Their team was originally patrolling the city when they suddenly received an order from the city lord's mansion to bring a certain person back.
Lu Ping, male, fifteen or sixteen years old, a student of Zhenfeng College. He was accompanied by three men and a woman. Behind him was a black horse, two-wheeled carriage with a square box.
This was the general information of the target, and it was accurately and quickly passed to the person who needed it. Everyone knew that the city lord valued efficiency, so no one dared to be negligent. So soon, the carriage Lu Ping was in was discovered by the patrolling city guards.
"I am," Lu Ping said to the person who came.
"Get off the carriage and follow us," the person said.
"No."
Without asking the purpose of the person's visit, nor did he ask where they were going, Lu Ping simply refused: No.
"Go to the city lord's mansion. The city lord wants to see you." The person frowned. The order only said to bring the young man back to the city lord, but it didn't say whether it was an invitation or an arrest. This made him unable to decide for a moment.
So he stated his intention, an intention that no one in Canyon Peak City, or even the entire Canyon Peak District, could refuse.
But Lu Ping didn't seem to hear it, and still said two words: "No."
"You don't know how to appreciate favors!" The person was a little annoyed. Although he couldn't tell the exact intention of the city lord from the instructions, it didn't sound too malicious. Otherwise, why would he talk so much with the other party here? But this guy actually refused so bluntly. Did he really think he was someone important?
Hmph, he doesn't even have the power of a soul. He's just an ordinary person.
The concise information only stated that the purpose was to find Lu Ping, but it didn't mention Lu Ping's strength. The fact that he had destroyed two Towers of Soul had not yet spread. The person sensed the four people in the carriage and found that the other three were not simple, but this Lu Ping was just an ordinary person.
"Turn around and go to the city lord's mansion." The person simply ignored Lu Ping and directly ordered the coachman. The coachman secretly cursed his bad luck. He couldn't afford to offend the City Guards, but the students of Zhenfeng College were also very terrifying existences for him. The students of the college were all cultivators with realms. Wouldn't it be easy for them to turn around and find trouble with an ordinary person like him?
The coachman, who was in a dilemma, could only be a yes-man and dilly-dally, hoping that the situation would turn for the better.
The person immediately noticed the coachman's hesitation and knew what he was troubled about, but how could he understand it? In fact, he also had scruples about the students of the college. In terms of strength, he couldn't see the realms of the other three people in the carriage except for Lu Ping, and they were obviously above him.
After all, the college represented the highest level of cultivators. The students of the college, no matter what realm they reached, were always much higher than ordinary people, and naturally, their future would be extraordinary. Even though the Zhai Feng Academy was just one of the four hundred plus academies on the continent, it was still much more prominent than the Garrison Army. The status of the students of the Zhai Feng Academy was also much higher than that of a mere Garrison Army soldier.
Therefore, he didn't want to have a direct conflict with the students of Zhenfeng College. It was smart of him to order the coachman around, and he pushed the matter of offending someone to the coachman.
Therefore, he ignored the coachman's hesitation and kept urging him. As for the students, he hoped that they would be tactful and keep quiet.
Their status was higher than that of the soldiers of the City Guards, but the meaning of a soldier couldn't be ignored. They represented the rule of the empire. No matter how high the status of the college was, it was not an independent kingdom. Even the four colleges with thousands of years of heritage and history were intertwined with the three most prosperous empires on the continent.
The Canyon Peak District was located in the southeast of the continent, and belonged to the Xuan Jun Empire, one of the three empires. The governor of the Gorge Peak City was the supreme ruler of this district. His orders were effective to everyone in the Gorge Peak City. Only he didn't communicate with everyone in the form of orders. For example, the two deans of Zhenfeng College and Gorge Peak City were treated with great courtesy.
But for a mere student, he really didn't need to do so.
Bring him back and see him within half an hour.
This was his order, and someone was carrying it out. However, he met with unexpected resistance.
Lu Ping got out of the carriage, still carrying Su Tang on his back. So Morin and Siffin followed. Siffin was still in a wheelchair, and Morin was still pushing him.
"Let's go," Lu Ping said to Su Tang and headed in the direction of Zhenfeng College.
