This scene was very interesting to Siffin and Morin.
Whether it was an invitation, a summon, or something else, as long as it was in the Gorge Peak District, no one would directly refuse. Even if it was Guo Youdao or Ba Li Yan, they would usually retort and politely decline invitations. However, facing such a summons that didn't seem to be a polite invitation, the two of them would probably put down whatever they were doing to meet the city lord as soon as possible.
But Lu Ping just said "I'm not going", and didn't even ask what the matter was.
This kid is crazy!
The coachman next to him widened his eyes. At this moment, he didn't have to be in a difficult position, but he couldn't help but worry for this kid. Maybe it was a good thing that the city lord wanted to meet him? How could this kid dare to refuse so directly?
Sifan and Merlin, on the other hand, didn't think that way. Or rather, they might have thought that way before they walked this path together, but not now.
Because Lu Ping might be a Heavenly Awakened, a Heavenly Awakened with all six spirits connected.
What was this? This was a top expert who could create an era. For such an expert, a mere city lord was nothing at all.
As an apex expert, Lu Ping's attitude was quite gentle and amiable. He was still patient and was about to leave by himself. It was obvious that he didn't want to cause any trouble. He just didn't want anyone to disturb him.
If it were Leng Xiutan, the most ill-tempered of the six experts with all five spirits connected, who was called a mad dog behind his back, the moment the carriage was stopped, the small group of garrison guards would have been beheaded. It was not impossible for him to vent his anger on the coachman and the horses.
As for Lu Ping, he found that he was an honest man.
The carriage was blocked, and they were not allowed to leave, so he quietly got down and carried Su Tang on his back as he prepared to leave.
You guys are the ones who don't know how to appreciate favors …
Siffin and Morin both thought so. It was just that Morin just wanted to watch the show, and Siffin had more considerations.
"Stop!" Just as the captain of the garrison guards shouted and the other garrison guards were about to stop Lu Ping, Siffin turned the wheels of his wheelchair and moved closer to the captain.
"Big brother, why is the City Lord looking for Lu Ping?"
The question that Lu Ping didn't want to ask, Siffin asked on his behalf.
"How would I know? The City Lord only said that he wanted to see him and asked us to bring him to the City Lord's Mansion within a time limit." The captain was not in a good mood. He did not want to have a conflict with the students of Zhenfeng College, but there was no need for him to be submissive. Moreover, the castellan had given him an order. If he had to have a conflict to complete the castellan's order, he would execute it without hesitation.
Siffin, who was good at judging a person's mentality from their expressions and actions, had already completely realized the other party's determination.
"But we have something urgent to do now. Can we go later?" Siffin wanted to fight for a buffer. That way, it would be better for both Lu Ping and the academy. To him, such a forceful conflict was not rational. Of course, Lu Ping was strong enough to not care, but he wasn't like Morin, who liked to watch the fun.
"Within half an hour, the City Lord will see him. There are still seventeen minutes left. "The captain said and waved his left hand. He was not prepared to delay any further. Seventeen minutes was already very fast to reach the City Lord's Mansion. They were all deeply aware of the importance the City Lord placed on time.
"Stop him." The captain gave the order to take action. At the same time, he stared at Siffin and Morin warily. If these students, whom he couldn't even figure out, really wanted to make things difficult for him, his team might not be able to handle it.
Should he call for backup?
Just as the captain was thinking about this, a figure suddenly swayed in front of him. Two soldiers in his team were already flying towards him …
"Ah …"
The scream reached his ears in the blink of an eye. The captain hurriedly raised his hand, wanting to catch the two flying people. Who would have thought that when his hand touched the back of the two people, the force that came through was not something he could resist at all. He didn't even have time to be surprised before he was already sent flying with the two people.
"Sigh …" Siffin sighed. The two figures, along with the captain who was talking to him just now, practically whizzed past his head. He didn't see any panic. He only felt that it was a pity that things had developed like this so quickly.
He had been targeting Lu Ping for three years. Of course, he understood Lu Ping's style of doing things very well. If he didn't want to do something, no one could force him. He would abide by some rules and agree to some requests, but the premise was that he was willing.
At this moment, Siffin was very glad that he was really a very reasonable person. In the past three years, he had been looking for reasonable grounds and had never tried to use force to suppress others. He could see that Lu Ping had no intention of hiding his strength at all. In the past three years at Zhenfeng College, everything had been peaceful. It was only because no one had really disturbed or threatened him. As for those sarcastic remarks, he didn't care at all. Or perhaps, he didn't need to care.
Because he was strong.
He was strong because he had a basis. He was strong because he was confident. He didn't need to punish those who used verbal violence to prove himself. Only those who had low self-esteem would be anxious when faced with doubts.
Then, Siffin also felt that perhaps Lu Ping felt that those people's mockery and contempt were all reasonable. Because the way he had behaved in Zhenfeng College, he wasn't a strong person. He was an ignorant and incompetent scoundrel who still wanted to cling to Su Tang's thigh.
Was it wrong for such a person to be looked down upon and insulted by others?
Therefore, from this point of view, Siffin felt that Lu Ping was also a very reasonable person.
First of all, he didn't explain anything to everyone. Therefore, he silently endured the misunderstanding that occurred because of it and didn't care. But when he needed to show something, he never hesitated to retreat.
Thinking carefully about the past three years, in fact, if he analyzed carefully enough, he should be able to find that Lu Ping had in fact shown a lot of abilities. For example, the recent incident where he exposed Wei Bao's false testimony that he had been to Garden No. 18, he mentioned that the distance between his mouth and his face was 1.7 centimeters. This was probably not a casual joke. His Rushing Spirit had this kind of effect similar to the Level 1 Piercing ability, "Measurement."
These, Siffin had always ignored.
And this team of poor garrison soldiers, it wasn't that they ignored it. They didn't know at all. Their team leader was originally still worried about whether Siffin or Morin would intervene, but he didn't expect that the Lu Ping he was looking for was the strongest among them.
Getting up from the ground, he looked at Lu Ping in disbelief. This young man, who had no Spirit Power at all, easily threw away two strictly trained garrison soldiers, and the strength was so great that he couldn't take it at all?
His Soul of Strength was already at the Fourth Heavenly Layer! What happened just now?
He had no choice but to call for more companions.
The whistling arrow flew into the sky, and the squad of soldiers didn't dare to move forward. They just formed an encirclement, moving with Lu Ping as he moved forward.
Several squads of garrison guards saw the signal from the whistling arrow and quickly rushed to this side. And everything that happened here had already been sent to the city lord's mansion. Because the city lord of Canyon Peak City, Wei Zhong, liked to control everything, he wasn't only concerned about whether he could see Lu Ping in half an hour, but also about everything that happened during this half an hour.
But the news sent back from the frontline was completely unsatisfactory.
"Refused? Reason! "Wei Zhong said.
"No reason. He only said he didn't want to go." Because he understood the city lord's habits, the news sent back included all the details. The reporter was ready to receive any questions from the city lord.
"Interesting." Wei Zhong smiled. "Then, send someone to invite him back. Tell him that I want to see him."
He gave a new order. This time, it wasn't to bring him back, but to invite him back.
Although he didn't know the depth of this young man, in the past few minutes, he had already heard about the injuries of the two Penetrators, Elemental and Bi Ge. To be able to injure them to this extent, the strength he had shown so far was already worthy of the word "invite".
"Understood."
The new order was quickly passed down. On the streets of Canyon Peak City, Lu Ping and Su Tang were surrounded. But despite being surrounded by a total of four garrison soldiers, Lu Ping's expression didn't change, and he continued to walk forward.
The four squad leaders were about to give the order to attack, but at this moment, they received a new order. And the person who delivered the order had already opened up a path in the encirclement.
The person who came was dressed in the uniform of the City Lord's Mansion's guards. However, he was not very old. He looked to be around 16 or 17 years old. He had a friendly smile on his face as he walked up to Lu Ping.
"The city lord said that he would like to invite you to the city lord's mansion." He emphasized the word "please". The two changes in command were all focused on this word.
Lu Ping was still walking forward, and the path in the encirclement had opened up even more. Hearing the young man deliberately change the word "invite", Lu Ping sighed and said nothing. He just continued walking.
The young man followed behind Lu Ping. When he looked in the direction that Lu Ping had been walking, the smile on his face suddenly became even brighter.
In the end, he was a tactful person, the young man thought. But to dare to throw a temper at the city lord, this guy was really bold.
"Alright, everyone, you may leave. Thank you for your hard work." The young man then called out to the four squads of garrison soldiers.
No matter how one looked at him, he was a bright and cheerful young man, but when the four squads of adult soldiers looked at him, their expressions were somewhat stiff. When they heard him say that they were dismissed, they immediately left as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.
The young man ignored them and walked up to Siffin and Morin.
"Are the two of you Lu Ping's classmates?" he asked.
"That's right." Molin was also smiling. He had quite a good impression of this youth.
"We look about the same age." He said.
"I'm 17. What about you?" Morin said.
"But it's a pity that the city lord didn't want to see you. So, if there's a chance in the future, I'll look for you guys to play!" The young man seemed to have not heard what Morin said at all and only continued to speak.
"The city lord also didn't say that he wanted to see Su Tang." Morin pointed in that direction.
"I'll make him put it down." The young man smiled, turned around, and unhurriedly followed Lu Ping.
