The Invincible constitution : Rise of the Supreme One

Chapter 47: Reincarnation?

Eli Shan left the village, embarking on his journey toward the city lord's mansion. Along the way, he made inquiries and learned that indeed, the city lord was on the verge of marrying a new, strikingly beautiful woman. This news brought a sense of relief to Eli Shan, reassuring him that he hadn't arrived too late.

After a long walk, Eli Shan and Xie Meng arrived at the majestic gates of the mansion, where two vigilant guards stood watch. Eli Shan approached them respectfully, cupping his hands in a traditional gesture of greeting. "I've heard that the city lord is about to be married," Eli Shan began, his tone polite yet inquisitive. "Am I welcome here?"

The guards exchanged a brief glance, their scrutinizing gazes sizing up Eli Shan from head to toe before one of them spoke, "And who might you be?"

Hearing this, Xie Meng, who was standing behind Eli Shan, couldn't help but smile. Eli Shan turned around, scratching his head before explaining to her, "Y-you are thinking this wrong; I have never been outside of the school, which is why no one recognizes my face."

Xie Meng nodded in agreement, her smile radiant. "Yes, but I didn't say anything, did I?"

Eli Shan shook his head before sighing, "You didn't, but your smile did."

Xie Meng shook her head, maintaining her gentle smile. "No no, I didn't try to make fun of you."

Eli Shan retorted sharply, "You did!"

As they teased each other, the guards also noticed Xie Meng. Previously, they hadn't noticed her because of her veil and her position behind Eli Shan. But now, as they looked at her, they couldn't help but be captivated by her beauty, even though only her eyes were visible.

Sensing a shift in the atmosphere, Eli Shan turned to look back. Xie Meng also noticed their gaze, her brows furrowing in anger. Suddenly, as the guards locked eyes with Xie Meng's fiery glare, a wave of horror paralyzed them. Their blood began to boil, their hands trembling and they felt as if they were being stared down by a predator, who would torture them to death.

In the blink of an eye, the guards swiftly averted their gaze, their eyes turning red with an inexplicable fear. Eli Shan caught a glimpse of their reaction, but by the time he turned to address them, they had already shifted their focus elsewhere, leaving him bewildered and curious about the sudden change in atmosphere.

Setting aside all these things, Eli Shan took out his golden badge and showed it to the guards. "I am Eli Shan, and I want to meet the city lord."

The guards, still sweating profusely, gazed upon the golden badge with a mixture of fear and reverence. This was the strongest youngster renowned throughout the city! If they were to look at his companion with the wrong eyes, even the city lord wouldn't bother to save them! Summoning their courage, they mustered forced smiles and respectfully greeted Eli Shan. "So you are the champion who brought the great honor to our city. We have heard a lot about you." Eli Shan nodded, smiling back at them. The guard continued, "Please wait a bit; I will report that you want to meet the city lord."

Eli Shan nodded calmly, "Go ahead."

With that, he observed as the guard hurried inside. After a brief moment, his attention was drawn to a familiar figure emerging from the mansion.

As the figure approached, Eli Shan turned to Xie Meng, speaking in a hushed tone, "That's my former classmate, Hao Yu. He's the son of the city lord."

Xie Meng nodded in understanding.

After Hao Yu stepped outside the gate, he looked at Eli Shan neither with politeness nor arrogance.

The guy standing before him was nearly as strong as his father! He couldn't be arrogant before this person!
