Chapter 195 New Home
At this moment, Fu Chuan felt his vision go black.
What was the point of all that he did? Wasn't it just to get into the city? He had an opportunity right in front of him, but because of his ulterior motives, everything was lost.
Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on my lips.
Just then, a cold voice rang out: "Fu Chuan, do you know what you're holding? You actually threw it on the ground. Your life isn't even worth this box of stuff."
"Snapped!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whip came lashing out.
Fu Chuan felt a piercing pain throughout his body.
But they dared not complain and could only apologize hastily.
He cannot afford to lose his current job; without it, he will have even less chance of entering the outer city.
At this time, the Zhao family also arrived at the outer city. After learning that Lu Yuan had entered the outer gate yesterday morning, they had sent people to follow him and gather information.
Therefore, as soon as the Zhao family head entered the city, someone led the way towards Lu Yuan's residence.
When they arrived at the courtyard gate, a look of amazement appeared on their faces.
The Zhao family patriarch sighed inwardly, realizing that despite his many years of hard work, he had never been able to accumulate such a house in the outer city.
Lu Yuan has only been here for a few days, yet he already owns such a large estate.
Looking at the Meng family's mansion next door, if you still don't know what's going on, then you've wasted all these years in the Changqing Sect.
Then, he stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard gate.
"Bang bang bang!"
As the sound rang out.
The gate opened, and a burly man, two meters tall, with a head as big as a bucket and a ferocious face, poked his head out. It was none other than Man Gu Tun. He lived in the same courtyard as Man Gu Hun, near the gate.
Therefore, he also took on the responsibility of guarding the gate.
They were practicing martial arts in the training ground when they heard the noise and opened the door.
"Is there something you need?"
Mangu Tun's rough voice rang out, and then Zhao Li was seen standing behind him.
Pointing at him, she said, "It's you! What are you doing here?"
After he finished speaking, a look of vigilance appeared on his face, and a spiked club appeared in his palm.
After his nurturing, this weapon has become quite remarkable.
It gleamed as soon as it appeared in my hand.
The commotion alerted the people inside, and in an instant, Xiao Li, Xiao Ku, Xiao Mie, Li Qing, and others rushed over, some carrying swords and others carrying knives.
He had an unfriendly expression.
After all, they had heard about how Zhao Li had made things difficult for Lu Yuan.
Upon seeing this scene, the Zhao family patriarch did not dare to be angry. Instead, he said, "Everyone, I have come today to apologize to Junior Brother Lu Yuan. My junior has offended him, and it is truly my fault for failing to properly guide him."
I humbly request that you all grant me a chance to meet Junior Brother Lu Yuan.
When he spoke, his voice was very humble, even somewhat subservient.
He knew all too well what reaching the Transcendental Realm at Lu Yuan's age meant.
In the Celestial Empire, there might be many people who can do it, but in the Evergreen Sect, it's unknown how many years it might take for someone to achieve this.
Therefore, he really didn't want to offend Lu Yuan.
Because if one day the other party reaches a certain level, he won't even need to do anything; as long as someone hears about this feud between them, his Zhao family might be wiped out.
How could he not be afraid?
After exchanging glances with the others, Mangu Tun said, "Let's wait here. I'll go ask."
They can't make decisions about these things.
Naturally, one should ask Lu Yuan.
A moment later, Mangu Tun came out, glanced at the Zhao family patriarch, and said, "Our young master said that the fact that the Zhao family patriarch came today means that the Zhao family has the idea of reconciliation. However, since Zhao Li regards us as enemies, our young master can only regard him as an enemy as well."
As for how the Zhao family ultimately chooses, that's your business.
If the Zhao family patriarch still couldn't understand Lu Yuan's words after hearing this, then he had truly lived in vain.
Before Zhao Li could react, a finger was pointed at his forehead.
Zhao Li had a bloody hole in his head, and then he fell straight to the ground.
After seeing such a scene.
Mangu Tun and the others were also taken aback, clearly not expecting that the Zhao family patriarch would act so decisively.
As for Zhao Li, he was helped up by two members of the Zhao family.
They dragged them to the back.
The Zhao family patriarch said, "Please tell Junior Brother Lu Yuan that my Zhao family has absolutely no intention of making enemies with him. Now that Zhao Li is dead, there will definitely be no more enmity between the two sides."
Mangu Tun nodded.
Then, the Zhao family patriarch left.
In fact, this was the result they had expected. Lu Yuan was not a soft-hearted person. He had just become an outer disciple, so it would be inappropriate for him to destroy the Zhao family.
But Zhao Li must die.
Just then, before Mangu Tun could close the gate, Zhang Heng, along with several members of his family, appeared outside.
They had witnessed everything that had just happened from a distance.
He secretly admired Lu Yuan, noting that he was not only talented but also decisive.
In this world, only people like this can survive.
However, just as Zhang Heng was about to speak, Man Gu Tun looked at him and said in an unfriendly tone, "You must be Zhang Heng. The young master told us that if anyone from the Zhang family comes, they are not allowed to enter."
After saying that, he closed the door.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Heng could only sigh and turn away.
After the two families left, the area outside Lu Yuan's new house finally quieted down.
Meanwhile, inside the mansion, it was almost noon by the time everyone had finished packing.
Lu Yuan said to Man Gu Tun and the others, "Let's go find Meng Ke outside the city. We promised to go drink with him yesterday, so we can't go back on our word."
"Let's go, let's go, it's been so long since we've seen him," Manguhun said with a smile.
He's very enthusiastic about eating.
These days, I'm so bored I could hardly speak.
After leaving the city, chatting and laughing, the group went straight to the Meng family's residence.
This is also a manor comparable to a small town.
When Lu Yuan and his group arrived and announced their names, the Meng family immediately went in to report.
A moment later, Meng Kexing rushed out and said to Lu Yuan, "You guys really came."
"I already promised you, so of course I'll come. Let's go, I'll treat you to a drink."
As Lu Yuan spoke, he pulled Monk outside, and the other man didn't stand on ceremony and immediately followed them to the shantytown.
There are also a few good restaurants here.
After entering, the group ordered a table full of dishes and ate while chatting.
Xiao Gu and the others were no longer troubled by their past sorrows.
Now that they live in the outer city, all they need to do is cultivate diligently, without having to worry about the dangerous environment outside the city.
For everyone, this was already paradise.
After the meal, Lu Yuan told Meng Kuo his home address before leaving with his men.
By the time they returned to the mansion, it was almost dark.
However, as soon as she returned to the inner quarters, Zhou Hongling came out and said, "You're back just in time. Someone is looking for you and is waiting in the living room."
"Who is it?" Lu Yuan asked.
"There are two women. One is Senior Sister Meng Tong, whom you mentioned. The other is someone I don't recognize, but I've heard Meng Tong call her Senior Sister Yao Yue," Zhou Hongling said softly.
Lu Yuan frowned involuntarily.
He didn't have a good impression of Yao Yue, but since she had come to visit, he couldn't very well refuse.
Thinking of this, he walked towards the living room. As soon as he stepped inside, he saw Xiao Hua talking to the two of them.
They seem to have a rather harmonious relationship.
When Meng Tong saw Lu Yuan, a hint of grievance and helplessness flashed in her eyes.
Yao Yue stood up with a smile: "Junior Brother Lu, I heard from Junior Sister Meng today that you moved. After I found out, I prepared some gifts and came uninvited. Please don't be offended, Junior Brother."
As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face, especially when someone comes with a gift.
Lu Yuan naturally couldn't say anything.
She could only nod and say, "Thank you, Senior Sister, but I cannot accept this gift."
He saw a purple ginseng plant on the table.
It must be quite expensive, and he didn't want to get too involved with Yao Yue, so he decisively refused.
Hearing Lu Yuan say this, Yao Yue's face showed helplessness.
Then she said, "Since you refuse, junior brother, I have no choice but to take it back. We haven't known each other for long, so you may have some misunderstandings about your senior sister. But time will tell, and you will eventually understand your senior sister's personality."
Lu Yuan was unsure whether to agree with her words.
He simply nodded, then sat down and asked Meng Tong, "Senior Sister Meng, does our sect have any methods to obtain precious medicines for body tempering?"
Lu Yuan is now anxious to upgrade his body-refining technique to the Xuan Gong level.
If he succeeds, he believes that even the top geniuses of the other party's Ancient Desolate World will be able to fight him once he reaches the Transcendent Realm.
Meng Tong quickly replied, "That requires going to the sect's mission tower. There you can accept missions, earn merit points, and then exchange them for anything you want."
Her words made Lu Yuan's eyes light up. He said, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
Meng Tong chuckled: "It's nothing, no need to be so polite. Are you going tomorrow? Can I team up with you? I've already handed over my post outside the city, so I'm free now."
Besides, I'm not very familiar with receiving tasks, so we can help each other out.
Lu Yuan nodded.
Yao Yue watched the two chatting and laughing, a look of envy on her face. Then she said, "I'm familiar with accepting missions, and I also know a bit about Baidang Mountain. If you want to do a mission, I can show you the way."
After saying that, this time she didn't speak to Lu Yuan, but looked at Meng Tong and said, "Junior Sister Meng, what do you say? I know that I went too far in the past, please forgive me, okay?"
His voice was pleading as he spoke.
For a moment, Meng Tong was at a loss, but she still looked at Lu Yuan.
"It's fine as long as Senior Sister Meng makes the decision."
Meng Tong nodded: "Then Senior Sister Yaoyue can come with us tomorrow. We are not familiar with the outer area of Baidang Mountain, and it will be a waste of time if we don't have someone to guide us."
Lu Yuan nodded.
After achieving her goal, Yao Yue's smile became noticeably brighter.
He stood up and said to Lu Yuan, "Then, Junior Brother Lu, I'll take my leave now. I'll come to find you tomorrow."
Meng Tong also got up to leave.
Lu Yuan nodded and saw the two out the door. Then he saw Xiao Hua and Zhou Hongling arrive at the front yard at some point.
Both women looked at him.
The former, in particular, pouted and said, "Brother Yuan, you've only been here a short time, and you've already met two senior sisters."
Her words brought a wry smile to Lu Yuan's face.
For a moment, I didn't know how to explain it.
Zhou Hongling chuckled and said, "Alright, no need to tease him anymore. Let's go back and eat."
Looking at the two smiling women, Lu Yuan realized that Xiao Hua was actually teasing him.
Then, they walked towards the backyard.
However, Lu Yuan was quite looking forward to tomorrow's mission.
After becoming an outer disciple, you should be able to earn more from missions than you would when you were outside the city.
He must improve his strength as soon as possible.
The Transcendent Realm is still too weak.
