Chapter 921 Noble Girl

While listening to Helen’s introduction, the three of them continued to walk forward.

At this moment, a group of people rushed over.

In this group of people, a person was surrounded in the middle. Clearly, this person was more important than the rest.

The person in the middle of the group was riding a red horse. She was a young girl with a headband on her head inlaid with a row of emeralds.

The girl’s bright eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Yu.

She seemed to be a little surprised and stared at Lu Yu in surprise.

“You look so strange, and you dress so strangely. Who are you?”

She blinked her bright eyes curiously while the riders around her stared at Lu Yu warily. They were obviously the girl’s bodyguards.

This girl had come all the way here on a horse just to stop Lu Yu. It seemed that Lu Yu’s appearance had attracted her.

After all, none of the people in front of him had black hair, let alone someone with Lu Yu’s appearance.

Moreover, Lu Yu was wearing modern casual clothes, a rare occurrence for these ‘ancient people’.

“My name is Lu Yu, and I’m a traveler.”

To Lu Yu, this was just an excuse. Being a traveler or an explorer did not matter to him.

“Traveler? It seems that we are fated for you to travel to our place.”

She revealed a happy and sweet smile innocently.

The other bodyguards were still wary of Lu Yu. How could there be a traveler here? While it was not impossible, it was still strange.

“Why did you come looking for me?”

The girl looked at Lu Yu excitedly and replied, “My name is Shirley. Since you are a traveler, you must have encountered many strange things along the way. Can you tell me your story?”

She leaned forward and looked at Lu Yu curiously.

Lu Yu felt this girl was somewhat annoying and did not want to say anything more to her.

“I still have something to do. Let’s talk about it in the future.”

At this moment, a bodyguard rode up to Lu Yu.

“You can’t reject our Miss’s request!”

His tone was unquestionable, and he was ordering Lu Yu.

“You’re courting death!”

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes. He did not like the attitude of the person in front of him.

The man was furious when he heard that. He drew his bow and aimed at Lu Yu.

“Say that again!”

Little did he know that his arrow could not even scratch Lu Yu’s skin.

“How dare you block my way.”

Helen panicked and quickly pulled Lu Yu back. “We’re here to travel, not to kill.”

She was worried that Lu Yu would expose his identity.

However, the Empress agreed with Lu Yu’s response. She also looked at the few people in front of her and shouted, “There’s no one who dares stop us in this world. Are you courting death?!”

“We have no ill intentions,” Helen quickly added. “We just want to continue our journey.”

“Nonsense, I don’t think these two are here with good intentions!”

At this moment, Shirly also spoke up to persuade her guards, “You’ve scared them. We’re not bandits.”

Shirley dismounted and walked up to Lu Yu.

“Sir, I would like to hear some interesting stories from you, but that doesn’t mean that I’m asking for it rudely. I’ll give you these gold coins as a reward.”

She casually took out 20 Brilliant Coins.

She casually took out so many gold coins in the hopes that Lu Yu had some interesting stories to tell. Clearly, this was a girl from a wealthy family.

“No, I’m not interested in these gold coins. I came here mainly to see the local customs and traditions from thousands of years ago.”

Lu Yu found a random excuse and used it.

“That’s fine too. I’ll bring you guys into the city and take a look around.”

“Miss, these people are not from the right background. Be careful.”

“Don’t meddle in my affairs. Just do what I tell you to do.”

Shirley looked at Lu Yu and smiled gently. “Let’s go into the city. I’ll lead the way.”

Lu Yu shrugged. “Lead the way.”

“Alright, please follow me.”

Shirley led the way, not forgetting to ask about Lu Yu’s situation.

“What’s your name?”

“Lu Yu.”

“Hmm, I’ve never heard of your name before. Which country are you from?”

“We’re not a country. We’re a region with a federal power center.”

Shirley’s eyes widened in curiosity. “Don’t you have a king?”

“Of course not.”

“You’re not someone from this era, right? In other words, the concept of a king no longer existed in this era?”

Lu Yu shook his head slightly. “It still exists, but there are more different social structures.”

“I see. The future is sure to be full of surprises. I can’t wait to go to your hometown for a visit.”

Lu Yu couldn’t help but laugh. “You’ll be very surprised if you visit.”

Any city in the Freedom Federation was much larger than this one. The tallest building here couldn’t even be matched to a building in the suburbs of the Freedom Federation.

When they were about to reach the city, Lu Yu saw that the town was made of stone bricks. The white stone bricks gave the entire city a clean look.

Many women were washing their clothes by the river; some children were playing on the grass fields; and some people were returning after herding their cattle and sheep.

As Lu Yu got closer, the atmosphere of a lively city hit him immediately. Lu Yu gradually felt the atmosphere of their daily life here.

“It seems that you’ve worked hard to repair this city after you revived.”

Lu Yu sighed, as this was much better than Mountain City.

“Of course. We have a lot of people, and we’re close to the center of the empire. So, we have a lot of resources.”

On the bustling streets, many vendors resumed their old business.

“Do you want to eat something?”

Shirley asked.

“No need.”

“I’ll arrange a place for you to stay. How about staying at our home?”

“Where is your home?”

She stretched out her hand and pointed forward.

“In the middle of the town is a huge manor across the river. It occupies two suburbs.”

Lu Yu looked forward along the river and saw a long mahogany bridge.

“Your house is massive. Ordinary people can’t live in it, no?”

Shirley smiled. “Of course, that’s our family property. If you weren’t a traveler, I wouldn’t bring an outsider home.”

The four of them soon arrived at the entrance of the manor.

When the two guards at the door saw Shirley, they bowed and greeted her respectfully. “Welcome home, Miss.”

“Open the door; my friend is here!”

She declared happily.

The two guards quickly opened the iron doors.

The four of them walked in, and Lu Yu looked around. He glanced around the luxurious manor and saw a large garden in the front yard and several villas in the middle.

“There are many rooms, so pick whichever to stay in.”
