There’s Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 434: 434,【West State Sword Fate】(Thank you to Alliance Hierarch “Ai Ai” for the 100,000 reward)

The sky was low, and dark clouds covered it, today was a gloomy day.

There was always a stifling heat attached to gloomy summer days, even the hot wind that blew carried a touch of moisture.

Lu Xiaoyu and Xiao Long Bao were sitting by a stream outside of Blooming City, with their delicate white feet soaking in the water, feeling the coolness of the stream.

Xiao Long Bao was as chatty as ever, but she noticed that Xiaoyu seemed to be lost in thought lately, she wondered what she was thinking about.

“Whoosh——” A gust of wind blew through the dense forest, knocking loose a green leaf.

The leaf swirled in the wind before falling on the surface of the stream.

What was remarkable was that while the stream kept flowing, the leaf in the center of the stream had halted its journey. It did not sway with the current, but stayed still.

The next moment, a figure cloaked in black descended slowly from high up in the sky, landing gently upon the green leaf with the tip of his foot — completely stationary in the middle of the stream.

“Oh!” Upon seeing the figure, Xiao Long Bao could not help but exclaim.

When Lu Xiaoyu looked up, her previously puzzled eyes instantly came alive.

Standing on the green leaf, Lu Xun’s face carried a warm smile. He said, “I was just passing by. I didn’t expect to run into you two again.”

In truth, he had come specifically to bid farewell to Lu Yu.

“Ah? Elder Lu, where are you planning to go next?” Xiao Long Bao asked.

Looking at them, Lu Xun answered, “I plan to leave West State and return to the Demon Sect.”

“Oh, oh.” Xiao Long Bao had actually wanted to follow him and cling onto his golden thigh.

But alas, they were not disciples of the Demon Sect, and there was no reason for them to return to the Demon Sect together.

Hearing this, the sparkle in Lu Xiaoyu’s eyes faded a bit.

Her feet soaked in the stream, the toes of her fair and delicate foot curled slightly, but she remained silent.

Lu Xun gazed at her and opened his mouth to say, “Lu Xiaoyu, if I remember correctly, Xiao Long Bao once mentioned that I share the same name and surname as your departed elder brother?”

Lu Xiaoyu nodded, slightly puzzled by Lu Xun’s words.

“With our repeated encounters and such incredible coincidences, it seems we have quite the karmic bond. Take this wooden token. If you ever encounter any unsolvable problems in the future, bring this token to any Lai Fu Restaurant across the continent. You will find help there.” Lu Xun took a wooden token out from his storage ring and tossed it to Lu Xiaoyu.

Lu Xiaoyu caught the wooden token. On the simple token, there was only one character engraved — ‘Xun.’

This was a personal token. The token was as good as the person himself.

By the time she looked up in surprise, Lu Xun’s figure had already disappeared from the center of the stream.

Xiao Long Bao grabbed Lu Xiaoyu’s arm and shook her forcefully, shrill cries escaping her mouth, “Ah, ah, ah, ah! Xiaoyu, you definitely have the Luck trait! You’ve hit the jackpot!”

“With this token, our guild can recruit people on-demand. This is amazing! Hehe.” Xiao Long Bao was laughing so hard her smile was almost reaching her ears.

Looking at the wooden token, Lu Xiaoyu felt an inexplicable surge of warmth.

It felt as if… her brother was accompanying her in another way.

Although reason told her that he could not possibly be him.

Yet she still couldn’t help but immerse herself in the feeling.

…

…

After saying farewell to the two girls, Lu Xun went to meet up with his second senior sister and Mao Nanbei.

They were preparing to start their journey back to the Eastern Region.

“Strange, why do I feel like I’ve forgotten someone?” Lu Xun thought to himself, but he couldn’t remember it at that moment.

If the six Sword-Serving Children who had traversed thousands of miles to West State were to learn of this, they would probably faint from crying.

After meeting with his second senior sister, the paper crane flew towards the outside of West State Border.

There wasn’t just one paper crane this time, but three people riding one crane together. Because Mao Nanbei didn’t take up space, she loved to act as an ornament and was always hanging around Lu Xun.

Controlled by his second senior sister, the paper crane’s flight speed was incomparably faster than anything Lu Xun could manage, he was simply left in the dust!
