Lu Yun had just stepped out of the inn and was about to take a deep breath of fresh air when he was blocked by two men who looked like guards wearing black armor and carrying long swords on their waists.

"Mr. Lu, my young master wants to see you."

The guard on the left spoke in a deep voice that could not be refused. He looked directly at Lu Yun, but there was no provocation in his eyes, only professional indifference.

Lu Yun was stunned, then raised his eyebrows slightly and thought secretly in his heart.

He had just arrived in Mingcheng and, apart from that little incident at Duobao Pavilion, had almost no interactions with anyone. How could someone come to block him?

If Deacon Han wanted to look for him, he would definitely not send guards of this standard. Judging from Deacon Han's respectful attitude towards him, he would probably visit him in person.

It is even more impossible for Li Tian to do this, after all, they have been killed by me. If the Li family comes, it is impossible that these two guards do not have a trace of murderous aura.

There was no murderous aura about these two guards. Instead, they revealed a well-trained aura, which quietly aroused Lu Yun's curiosity.

"Oh? Who is your young master?" Lu Yun asked casually, looking up and down at the two people in front of him, trying to find some clues from their behavior.

The guard on the right saw Lu Yun's response and added expressionlessly, "Second Master Chu Yunxuan, please do me the honor, Master Lu."

Lu Yun's heart moved. This was the first time he had heard of this name. However, anyone who could be called a young master in Ming City must be extraordinary. He smiled slightly and decided to find out the truth. "Okay, lead the way."

The two guards exchanged glances, then led Lu Yun, one in front and one behind, through the busy streets towards the city center.

But Lu Yun's mind was not here at all at the moment. He was silently observing his surroundings, paying attention to any possible abnormalities.

Soon, the three of them came to a building with carved beams and painted rafters and flying eaves and pointed corners. It was the famous Chunfeng Tower.

Lu Yun looked up and heard the sound of stringed instruments coming from inside the building, mixed with the laughter of women, which made it very lively.

As soon as he stepped into Chunfeng Tower, Lu Yun was surrounded by a strong fragrance of cosmetics, his ears were filled with the flirting of men and women of all kinds, and in front of him were women in light gauze and silk clothes, walking around with alluring manners.

He couldn't help but frown, obviously not used to this kind of scene.

"Mr. Lu, please follow me." The guard on the left reminded him at the right time, interrupting his thoughts and leading him through the hustle and bustle of the first floor and up the winding stairs.

The environment on the second floor is obviously much quieter, and famous calligraphy and paintings are hung on both sides of the corridor, adding a touch of elegance.

The door of a room at the end was half-open, with warm light shining through. That was the destination.

Chu Yunxuan sat in the private room on the second floor of Chunfeng Tower.

With one hand he gently stroked the edge of the delicate teacup on the table, and with the other hand he tapped the table surface lightly, making a regular and slightly rapid sound.

"Hmph, this Blood Moon Hall, do they think I'm a three-year-old child?" Chu Yunxuan sneered and said to himself.

The head of the Blood Moon Hall, Yin, told him that a young man named Lu Yun appeared in Ming City with the Samadhi True Fire, and that this fire was the most yang and fiercest thing in the world.

This news was sent to me like this, so how could there not be something fishy about it?

"You say it's a sign of sincerity. Haha, I, Chu Yunxuan, am not a fool who can be manipulated by others."

"Who wouldn't be tempted by the Samadhi True Fire? The Blood Moon Hall could just keep the news secret, kill Lu Yun, and get this rare fire."

Chu Yunxuan snorted in his heart. He knew very well that the value of the Samadhi True Fire was more than enough to compare to the position of a city lord. It was enough to make any cultivator excited, let alone a force like the Blood Moon Hall.

If Lu Yun is really only at the Golden Immortal level, then logically speaking, the Blood Moon Hall is fully capable of taking away the Samadhi True Fire directly, so why would they go to so much trouble to find him?

"Master, Master Lu is here."

The guard announced quietly outside the door, then pushed the door open and motioned Lu Yun to go in.

Lu Yun walked in slowly and saw a young man with his back to him, sipping tea alone while looking at the scenery outside the window.

Hearing the noise, the young man slowly turned around. He had a handsome face and a smile in his eyes. It was Chu Yunxuan.

"Mr. Lu, I have long heard of your name. It is truly an honor to meet you today." Chu Yunxuan bowed, his words sincere.

Lu Yun clasped his fists in return, but he was secretly alert in his heart. Chu Yunxuan seemed polite, but in fact he had a strong aura and was definitely not an ordinary person. "Mr. Chu, you are too kind. I wonder what you want to do today?"

Seeing this, Chu Yunxuan couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart.

This man's every move and gesture showed the composure of a master, yet also the spirit of a scholar, which is truly rare.

Especially the vague sense of oppression, which made Chu Yunxuan, the second young master who was extremely cunning, feel a little oppressed. He immediately realized that Lu Yun was not simple at all, and perhaps his real cultivation was far more than the Golden Immortal on the surface.

Chu Yunxuan's smile became more sincere, and he walked quickly forward, as if he had met an old friend after a long separation. He stretched out his hand, palm facing up, with a humble attitude.

"Brother Lu, nice to meet you. I am the second son of the City Lord's Mansion of Ming City, Chu Yunxuan."

Lu Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, with a gleam of interest in his eyes. He did not rush to respond, but slowly sat down on the chair opposite Chu Yunxuan.

He casually picked up the tea that Chu Yunxuan had poured for him earlier, took a sip, and the fragrance of the tea was refreshing. Then he spoke lightly.

"Second Master, I am just a passer-by. Why do you have to come and ask me in person?"

Seeing this, Chu Yunxuan laughed in his heart. Lu Yun's reaction was consistent with his neither humble nor arrogant character.

He clapped his hands gently, signaling the waiters around to leave. There were only the two of them left in the room, and the atmosphere seemed more private.

"Brother Lu, you are joking. Although I, Chu, am in the City Lord's Mansion, I also like to make friends with heroes all over the world."

"Yesterday I heard that there was a young man at the city gate who performed extraordinary tricks, but encountered a situation where my Mingcheng guards randomly collected entrance fees. Naturally, I have to find out more."

"But it seems that Mr. Lu is not an ordinary person. He first transformed himself into a life cloud, then escaped unscathed, and even cleaned up the situation of random charges. If I didn't have some tricks, I would have been fooled by Mr. Lu."

Chu Yunxuan spoke sincerely, but there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Hearing this, Lu Yun curled up a barely perceptible smile. He put down the teacup, crossed his hands on the table, and looked directly at Chu Yunxuan.

"So that's how it is. The Second Young Master is really well-informed. However, that incident was just a small matter and not worth mentioning."

Chu Yunxuan nodded, but he was calculating quickly in his mind. Although Lu Yun seemed easy-going on the surface, every word he said revealed caution. This kind of person must have experienced many ups and downs, or he is a natural wise man.

He decided to make another move. "Brother Lu, what you said is not true. Eliminating harm for the people, no matter how big or small, is a great merit. Moreover, Brother Lu's methods are brilliant, and the people in the city all praise him. As a member of the City Lord's Mansion, I naturally have to show my respect."

After that, Chu Yunxuan took out an exquisite token from his sleeve and gently pushed it in front of Lu Yun. "This is the VIP token of my City Lord's Mansion. With this token, you can enjoy many privileges in Ming City. This is my little token for Brother Lu."

Lu Yun's eyes lingered on the token for a moment. The token was beautifully crafted and engraved with the logo of Mingcheng. It was obviously worth a lot of money. He did not take it immediately, but smiled and asked back.

"Second Young Master is so generous, is there anything that needs my help?"
