Lou Mu Yan’s attitude towards the red-haired young man surprised the Sword Masters who followed. Wasn’t this woman too bold. Didn’t she know that offending the elite team of a superpower kingdom would make her miserable?
“Do you have anything else?” Lou Mu Yan asked, looking at the red-haired young man.
She didn’t dislike this young man, but when she saw the interest in his eyes while he looked at her, her attitude became a little colder.
Unexpectedly, the people behind these several people all revealed a look of ‘you’re done for!’ and she knew right then that the identity of the red-haired young man and the blind man was definitely not simple.
“You’re Lou Mu Yan?” The red-haired young man didn’t get angry because of her answer just now, and instead folded his arms around a purple longsword, saying with great interest: “By the way, let me introduce myself first. We’re from Rong’ze Kingdom, and my name is Luo Li.”
Lou Mu Yan smiled, polite and distant: “Lou Mu Yan of Yan’zhou Kingdom. Pleasure to meet you.”
She had never felt ashamed of coming from a small kingdom like Yan’zhou Kingdom, so when others proudly reported their kingdom’s name, she wasn’t outdone.
“If there’s nothing that’s the matter, then we’ll take our leave first. Goodbye everyone!”
Although Lou Mu Yan didn’t know much about the kingdoms participating in the Continental Tournament for Hegemony when she just arrived, but she had obtained a lot of useful information from the news she had recently inquired about in many cities.
At least she knew that there was a total of five superpower kingdoms participating in this competition, including Rong’ze Kingdom, and this person they called ‘Lord Luo’ from the superpower kingdom was also one of the top three favourites who could potentially take first place.
The young man said his name was Luo Li, and he looked a bit similar to the blind man, so it wasn’t difficult to deduce that the blind man was the legendary Lord Luo.
Most importantly, judging from the current situation, apart from Luo Li, no one should know that his eyes were actually blind.
What do superpower kingdoms and Lord Luo represent? Maybe in the eyes of others, it represented the object of flattery and people who couldn’t be provoked, but to her, it meant trouble.
“Are you going to enter the city?” Luo Li naturally heard Lou Mu Yan’s meaning through her words—she didn’t want to entangle with them too much. But it was precisely because of this that he thought she was even more interesting.
Usually, whether in their own kingdom or in the competition space, which female Sword Master who saw them didn’t cater to them or was happy to see them. Only this woman revealed a look as if they were trouble and distanced herself from them—it didn’t look like she was pretending either.
The Sword Masters behind Luo Li saw that this person named Lou Mu Yan from a small kingdom was so distanced and indifferent that they felt she was unable to appreciate someone’s favours.
Or she didn’t know the background of Lord Luo and him at all. Otherwise they just didn’t believe that she wouldn’t flatter them, or at least her attitude wouldn’t dare to be so indifferent.
“Yes.” Lou Mu Yan didn’t deny it either.
Luo Li’s lips raised into an arc, handsome and sunny, “Let’s go together. I just so happened to want to ask you a few questions.”
“You just came out and you’re going back to the city?” Lou Mu Yan’s eyes darkened as she asked with a light smile.
“How did you know that we only just left the city?” Luo Li asked in confusion.
When they came, no one said that they had just left the city. Did they possibly not look like they were coming out to hunt at night? How did she know?
Lou Mu Yan replied with a smile: “There’s a lot of frost and dew at night, but your clothes aren’t stained with much dampness at all.”
Luo Li’s eyes lit up. It seemed that this woman was also intelligent aside from being violent.
But that was about right. If her limbs were developed but her mind was simple, she wouldn’t have been able to live until now.
“My Eldest Brother originally predicted that there would be a Beast Tide coming tonight. We waited for a long time but didn’t even see a shadow of one. He then predicted that someone intercepted it ahead of time, so we came to see who blocked the Beast Tide we were waiting for.” Luo Li didn’t conceal the truth either and spoke straightforwardly, wanting to see how Lou Mu Yan would react.
A somewhat surprised look perfectly appeared on Lou Mu Yan’s face, but she didn’t have any awareness of having stolen other people’s things. Beast Tides were ownerless to begin with—whoever killed them first got to earn the points first.
“So it turns out that the arrival of a Beast Tide can also be predicted. That sure is amazing.” Lou Mu Yan smiled casually, “Let’s go, didn’t you want to go together?”
She found that the other party didn’t have any killing intent and going together was nothing.
She was indeed not afraid of any force, but she wasn’t an idiot either who would deliberately offend people from superpower kingdoms.
The young man had questions to ask her, and she naturally could also extract some useful information from the young man’s mouth. After all, there wasn’t much core information from Yan’zhou Kingdom and the small refuge cities.
Luo Li didn’t expect her to be so refreshing all of a sudden again and nodded: “Sure!”
Luo Ye’s eyes were indifferent and clean. His eyes couldn’t see, but his heart was like a clear mirror.
This woman had no ill intention towards Luo Li, and he also wasn’t bothered to care about it either. He still somewhat appreciated her temperament and the strength she revealed.
Yun Zi Mo and the others didn’t have the disorderly feel when they dealt with Beast Tides at the beginning. Now, they were not only experienced and highly proficient, but they also formed a regular set of patterns when dealing with Demonic Beast corpses and were very fast.
Hearing that Lou Mu Yan would return to the city with Rong’ze Kingdom’s Sword Masters, there was no objection, and they followed behind with different expressions.
“Lou Mu Yan, I heard that you all spend the day resting in the city and travel and earn points at night?” Luo Li had been scoffing at the rumours he heard before, but after seeing the performance of the few people in the group of beasts today, he had to believe it.
“Mm, there are too few Demonic Beasts during the day and the points increase too slowly.” Lou Mu Yan replied.
Luo Li took out a dark purple jade tablet and looked at the points rankings, then said with some confusion: “You’re ranking is already in the top fifty.”
“Mm.” Lou Mu Yan’s face was indifferent, and there wasn’t a trace of excitement or joy at all.
“Aren’t you happy?” In Luo Li’s understanding, a small kingdom’s Sword Master should be very excited to have advanced into the top fifty in the first round, but why was this woman still so calm, as if she didn’t care at all.
Lou Mu Yan let out a soft laugh: “Are you happy to be in the top fifty? I don’t think there’s anything to be proud of!”
Her current ranking was forty-ninth, which meant that there were forty-eight people still ahead of her who she needed to surpass. There was nothing to be excited and proud of.
She had long been trained to be calm and composed when facing honour or disgrace, so even if she advanced into the top ten of the preliminary competition, she wouldn’t feel that she was that great.
There were mountains higher than other mountains. This was the experience she had gathered from countless dangers in the Immortal Cultivation World.
Luo Li choked. This woman didn’t look like a sixteen-year-old at all. He had only seen such calmness in very few people, and he became more and more interested in Lou Mu Yan.
“Do you often encounter Beast Tides at night?” Not only did Luo Li care about this question, but other Sword Masters also raised their ears to listen.
They were also very excited about the strategy of resting during the day and hunting at night to earn points. After all, seeing Lou Mu Yan advance to the top fifty from her initial thousandth in rankings on the standings, they all knew the benefits of travelling at night.
But they were worried about encountering Beast Tides. If they encountered small Beast Tides, their team could still handle it, but if they encountered a medium-sized Beast Tide, it would be difficult to escape, and if they encountered a large-sized Beast Tide, then they could practically only wait for death.
“Otherwise how do you think my points could advance so quickly?” Lou Mu Yan asked instead.
Seeing Lord Luo’s expression was still the same, a coldness in his handsomeness as he walked in front, she then looked at Luo Li who had an expression of interest and a sunny disposition—the two brothers’ personalities sure were as different as Heaven and earth.
