"Rumble—!"

Just as Luo Qingtong and the others were approaching this Barbaric City...

Suddenly, from behind them, there came a deafening roar.

Luo Qingtong and the others turned their heads, just in time to see a squad of riders charging toward them from not far behind.

"Move! Move! All of you, get out of the way!"

Every one of that squad was mounted on an Iron-horned Rhinoceros.

It was a kind of mount unique to the Extreme West Wilderness, mild in temperament but with a vicious-looking face, appearing extremely fierce and imposing.

At the same time, its fur was white as snow, making it very popular with the Pioneers in this part of the Extreme West Wilderness.

However, this kind of Iron-horned Rhinoceros was extremely difficult to capture, and very expensive to purchase. Ordinary Pioneers of the Extreme West Wilderness could never hope to obtain such a mount.

In fact, in some of the small cities outside Barbaric City, there simply were no such mounts at all.

And at this moment, in the column Luo Qingtong and the others were seeing, every one of those people was riding an Iron-horned Rhinoceros!

And those people were all boys and girls of only fifteen or sixteen years old.

It was obvious at a glance that these were the children of the great aristocratic families within Barbaric City.

Luo Qingtong watched that line of people whistle and gallop wildly toward this side, behaving with no regard for anyone, shouting loudly for others to make way, and her brows immediately furrowed.

But she couldn’t be bothered to argue with this sort of people, and simply pulled Su Yu and the others aside.

Yu Sihuang was wearing a veiled hat. Being tugged by Luo Qingtong by the sleeve, his originally displeased mood instantly lit up into a bright grin, and he too couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to these Noble Family’s Young Masters of Barbaric City who didn’t know how high the heavens were.

The group stood outside the city gate, waiting for that squad of riders to pass.

Just then, a voice drifted over from the opposite side.

"Ay, these people have to make a scene like this every single day lately. They really don’t take human lives as lives!" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Exactly! That Hu Family kid is miserable too! Even if he is the product of that Second Young Miss of the Hu Family losing her virginity before marriage, he’s still Hu Family’s bloodline at the end of the day!"

"And everyone knows the incident back then wasn’t that Second Young Miss’s fault! The people of the Hu Family are really going too far with how they treat him!"

"Aren’t they though! No one even knows how he managed to cross the danger-filled Extreme West Wilderness to reach this Barbaric City! Sigh! He’s pitiful enough—and the Hu Family still treats him like that! Just bullying him because he’s a fool, aren’t they!"

"Yeah! It’s also because the Hu Family Patriarch is gravely ill and on the brink of death right now, unable to manage affairs, and the Hu Family’s Eldest Young Master has been paralyzed and unconscious in bed ever since that incident, completely without awareness. Otherwise, how would the Hu Family have ended up like this?"

"Exactly! Sigh, that Second Elder’s branch of the collateral line wants to seize power—how could they possibly tolerate a male of the direct lineage standing in front of them? Even if he’s a fool, it won’t do! Aren’t they now thinking up all sorts of ways to torment that Hu Family kid?"

"They even shove him out there as a plaything for the other aristocratic families!"

"That kid’s life is tough, too! Don’t know if it’s that fools have fool’s luck, but no matter how they torment him, he just won’t die!"

"Shh... enough, they’re coming!"

Listening to the hushed whispers rising all around, Luo Qingtong’s brows tightened at once.

Was it her imagination?

Why did the person they were talking about sound inexplicably familiar to her?

Hu Family, a fool?

Found from outside?

Luo Qingtong frowned.

Just then, that group had already thundered up to the city gate.

Luo Qingtong’s gaze swept toward them, and her eyes suddenly narrowed sharply.
