Chapter 200: The Nagging Guard

Luo Xiao was somewhat hesitant as he looked at the group in front, but in the end he just shook his head. Although it would be considered somewhat impolite to not greet these Gu family members, he still had to pay attention to their image.

They had just gossiped about him and his identity, so if he greeted them, they would not appreciate it, and would instead feel that he was unhappy or even vengeful.

Most geniuses would become aggressive when they felt wronged, and instead of listening to his explanation, they might even cause a scene, so he would rather wait until they could have a direct confrontation at the Gu family mansion later.

However, before that, he had to return to the inn and Jiang Yao first.

The rest of the time in line was making the worrying shado guards feeling uncomfortable. He kept trying to lower his presence as he truly did not know how to deal with the matter if Luo Xiao was recognized by the Gu family members.

Life was much easier when he was by the Seventh Demon Prince's side. Jiang Yao was a renowned figure throughout the whole continent, and no one would dare to confront him unless they wished to die.

Even if he wished to battle against others, it was very rare to have an opportunity, and even if anyone tried to battle it out, they would never become too overboard, simply due to the gap in identity.

However, Luo Xiao was not the same. His current identity was that of only a nephew to the Gu family's Patriarch, and his so-called parents had even left eloped. Such status was not even accepted by the Gu family, so how could these helpless shadow guards use it to intimidate these youngsters?

Luo Xiao's lips twitched slightly as his eyes somehow noticed the unloving expression of his guards. Ever since he had left Cloudsoar City, two of the Shadow Guards that usually followed Jiang Yao had been by his side instead.

At first, he had assumed that these guards trained by Jiang Yao would be stoic and cold, but he soon found that he had been prejudiced.

Although one of the guards did resemble a block of wood, the other was truly amusing. Although his strength was outstanding, his mentality was quite entertaining as well, and the many adventures they had been through already had been made much more amusing.

Even now, the worrying shadow guard was feeling troubled by these young members of the Gu family, but it was not even him who had to pretend to be a member of the said family.

In a way, this shadow guard loved gossip, but he also loved worrying unnecessarily. These worries had proven to be very useless up until now, but it did not stop his constant creation of imaginary situations, and neither Luo Xiao nor the other shadow guard bothered with trying to calm him down any longer. His weird worries had sometimes even caused some amusement.

Fortunately, none of the younger generation of the Gu family had ever seen Luo Xiao before, so there was no conflict, and when it was finally Luo Xiao's turn to enter the city, he managed to get through the gates without any issues.

By now, the worrying shadow guard breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but he quickly got another headache as he witnessed Luo Xiao's increasing speed as he rushed back to the inn. Sigh, being a shadow guard was not easy. Sometimes he felt that he was more like a mother worrying for her child than a guard protecting his master.

As they reached the inn, the constantly worrying Shadow Guard was about to follow Luo Xiao to the rooms above when the other guard grabbed his arm and held him back.

"Let us eat." This second guard rarely spoke. He was a good friend of the worrying guy, mainly because he never interrupted when he spoke, but now the poor worried Shadow Guard was truly distressed and could not help but frown.

"We are now looking after Young Master Gu. We have to ensure that he gets dinner, and I also have to ask the servants to prepare a bath for him. Tomorrow is an important day, so he has to be prepared."

The stoic guard could not help but take a deep breath. Even though the two had joined the Seventh Demon Prince's side at the same time, he could not help but wonder how this nagging guy had managed to become what he was now.

One has to know that the two of them were the best that Jiang Yao had ever trained. It was also due to this rank that they were allowed to protect his most important person, so the stoic guard could not help but wonder if there was something wrong in the head of his companion.

"Young Master Gu has a guest today. Although there are some plans tomorrow, we should let our master relax himself a little first."

It was only now that the nagging guard remembered that the main reason for his worries was that their true master had arrived and was likely to lead their young master astray. Such recognition made him feel very unwilling, and his eyes were full of sadness as he glanced at the stairs above.

"Do you think that our master will remember to order water for a bath later?" Although he was aware that Jiang Yao was his true master, this worrying guard could not help but feel somewhat disgruntled about his sudden arrival.

At first, he had said that he would come, at most, twice a year, but now he was rushing to the lower realms every second month at minimum. Did he not realize how interrupting his visits were?
