Chapter 48: Assassination (Part 2)

  Thank you.

  "There is also the Lu Family's Cangwu Pavilion, from now on, Shaoyou can enter and exit freely. This child, without us, would not have been able to reach our current level, so let's not interfere with anything else. However, during this period of time, we must ensure his safety until he enters Yunyang Sect. His strength is estimated to be sufficient to enter Yunyang Sect without any issues. Even if his strength is insufficient, the three major martial artists of Yunyang Sect will still fight to recruit him into the sect. Once he enters Yunyang Sect, Shaoyou will be safe." The low, aged voice said from within the stone chamber.

  "Dad, I understand, I'll go make arrangements." Lu Dong said.

  "Did Old Three know?" a hoarse voice asked from within the stone chamber.

  "I know, I just told Lao San about it. Lao San has been in seclusion all these years and has never come out." Lu Dong said.

  "This child is really pitied." A soft sigh echoed in the stone room, and then it was silent.

  The next morning, Lu Shaoyou slowly opened his eyes, and the two rays of light in his eyes flickered for a long time before disappearing. The aura around him was completely retracted, and his breath returned to normal. With the help of (Yin) Yang Ling Wu Jue and Gui Zhen Dan, this injury had already fully recovered overnight.

  "This Reverted True Dan is quite good." Lu Shaoyou thought to himself, if it weren't for the Reverted True Dan, his injuries would absolutely not have recovered this quickly.

  After tidying up a bit, Lu Shaoyou walked out of the room and into the small hall. Lu Wushuang, Lu Xiaobai, and Luo Lan were all inside the small hall.

  "Shao You, how's your injury?" Lu Wushuang was the first to see Lu Shaoyou and asked.

  "It's all right now." Lu Shaoyou said, his injuries had fully recovered by now.

  "So fast." Lu Wushuang was surprised, she had seen Lu Shaoyou's injuries with her own eyes yesterday, although they weren't too serious, but also not light, the recovery of this injury was truly unexpected.

  "Gongzi, I didn't expect you to be a San Xi Wujia, this is great!" Lu Xiaobai was over the moon with excitement, and from then on followed Gongzi closely, their future prospects were indeed bright.

  "Shao You, your great uncle wants us to move far away from here, what do you think." Luo Lan said.

  "Moving to the front yard, why?" Lu Shaoyou's expression changed slightly, he was living quite well in this backyard.

  "Shao You, our family has discussed it and agreed to let you acknowledge your ancestors and return to the clan. Move to the front yard." Lu Wushuang said.

  "Agreed, let me acknowledge my ancestors and return to the clan." Lu Shaoyou suddenly sneered and said: "Then should I also be grateful and acknowledge my ancestors, I don't owe anything to the Lu family, nor am I interested in the Lu family."

  "Less travel, but..." Lu Wushuang's eyebrows furrowed, as if she had expected this outcome all along.

  "Unmatched sister, don't say any more. If I weren't a warrior of the Three Systems, would the Lu family be like this? The Lu family, I'm not interested. I'll go out for a while and come back later." Lu Shaoyou said, and immediately left the courtyard.

  "This child..." Roland sighed.

  "The people of the Lu family really think everyone else is an idiot, acknowledging their ancestors and returning to their roots. I'm not even a member of the Lu family." Lu Shao thought to himself along the way, but he didn't pay much attention to it either, after all, he wasn't interested in the Lu family at all.

  After leaving the Lu family, Lu Shaoyou headed towards Tianbao Gate. He still had 50 pellets of Gravitational Reversal Dan and 2,000 gold coins on him. Adding to that was a pellet of Essence Enhancing Dan and the Qi Gathering Dan he obtained yesterday, all of which Lu Shaoyou intended to sell to repay his debts.

  "Three-system warriors, I didn't expect another three-system warrior to appear." In a small hall within the Tianbao Gate, Dugu Binglan said in surprise.

  "Miss, Lu Shao's hidden time is estimated to be not short, and the people of the Lu family have not discovered it yet. It seems that this Lu Shao should be a martial artist rather than a spiritual practitioner." Wu Zhishi said.

  "But behind Lu Shaoyou, there must be a spiritual being, and he himself is a three-system warrior. It seems that this time, the quota for Qingyun Town's Yunyang Sect will also go to him." Yinger Cuiyu thought for a moment, her beautiful eyes fluttering, and then said lightly.

  "What should we do then?" Dugu Binglan seemed to be asking Yu'er Cuiyu's opinion.

  "Wu Zhi Shi, you arrange it. This time, let Miss also go to Yunyang Sect. It's good to take a look at Yunyang Sect even if there's nothing." said Yuhua Xiaoyu.

  "Yes, I will arrange it." Wu Zhi Shi said.

  "Miss, Wu Zhi Shi, Lu Shao You has arrived." A Tian Bao Gate man said outside the door.

  "Please invite Mr. Lu in quickly." Dugu Binglan and the maid Cuiyu exchanged a glance, then said.

  Lu Shao Yu slowly arrived at the Tian Bao Gate, today was still the second day of the New Year, but business at the Tian Bao Gate was still going strong, with many people selecting goods at the counter.

  "Mr. Lu, our young lady has invited you." A robust Tianbao Gate guard escorted Lu Shao to the second floor's lavishly decorated and spacious hall once again.

  "Dugu Miss, Wu Zhi Shi." Lu Shaoyou saw Dugu Miss and Wu Zhi Shi at a glance, with the maid Cuiyu following behind them.

  "Lu Shaoyou is indeed early, quick sit, first congratulations to Lu Shaoyou." said Dugu Binglan with a smile.

  "Congratulations to me for what? I still owe you guys a debt." Lu Shaoyou smiled and sat down.

  Wu Zhi said: "Now the whole Qingyun Town knows that Lu Shaoyou is a three-series warrior, isn't it worth congratulating?"

  "Hehe, just luck." Lu Shaoyou said lightly. It seemed that the news of Tianbao Gate was indeed well-informed. He then took out the 50 Can Cong Top Dan and one Yuan Yuan Dan, one Ti Qi Dan, as well as a Yu Jing card; "First, let's settle the debt here, trouble Wu Zhi Shi, give me another 100 portions of the medicinal materials I got the first time, and 10 portions of the ones I got last time."

  "No problem." Wu Zhi said, and immediately gazed at the Yuanyuan Dan taken out by Lu Shaoyou, his expression stunned, took it in his hand to carefully examine it, and finally exclaimed: "Young Master Lu, is this really a Yuanyuan Dan?"

  "Not bad, it's indeed the Xiangyuan Dan." Lu Shaoyou said.

  "The dan medicine in Master Lu's hand is indeed of good quality. Although the Xiangyuan Dan is only a second-grade dan medicine, its tier is close to that of a third-grade dan medicine. Moreover, its effect on enhancing true energy is far superior to that of the Tiaqi Dan, and it even has the effect of enhancing spiritual energy. The usual selling price of the Tiaqi Dan is only around 200 gold coins, but the Xiangyuan Dan can reach as high as 350 gold coins. It's extremely rare for ordinary shops to have Xiangyuan Dan for sale." Wu Zhixi exclaimed in surprise.

  Lu Shao had no idea that the Yuan-increasing Pill he refined was worth about half more than ordinary second-grade medicinal pills.

  "Master Lu, please wait a moment, I'll go prepare the medicine for you." Wu Zhi said, then left the small hall to help Master Lu configure the medicine.

  "Lu Shao Ye, it seems that this time you will be participating in the competition at Qing Yun Town's Yun Yang Sect." said Dugu Binglan.

  "Dugu Miss knows a lot, indeed. As I've heard, Yunyang Sect is one of the three sects and four schools. I'd like to take a look too." Lu Shaoyou said.

  "Miss Dugu is what you can call me, but it's a bit too formal. From now on, Young Master Lu can just call me Binglan." said Dugu Binglan lightly.

  "Miss Iceland." Lu Shaoyou didn't stand on ceremony, but in his heart, he felt a bit awkward. This title of "miss", in his previous life, calling a woman this would bring bad luck, and might even earn him a slap in the face. But here, it was different, and he could only follow local customs.

  "Then I'll just call you Young Master Lu's name, Shaoyou, from now on. It sounds less awkward that way. Young Master Lu won't mind, will he?" said Dugu Binglan with a faint smile.

  "Feel free." Lu Shaoyou said lightly, and he naturally wouldn't mind this himself.

  "Mr. Lu, the medicinal herbs you requested are all ready." Wu Zhi brought over two large bundles, each containing a pile of medicinal herbs.

  "I won't bother you then, I'll come back next time to repay the debt." Lu Shaoyou said, carrying two large packages of medicinal materials, and left Tianbao Gate. He had just handed over 50 pills of Guanding Dan and 2,000 gold coins. The guy mentioned that the Zengyuan Dan, Tiqi Dan, and more than a dozen Guanding Dan from last time, now he owed Tianbao Gate's debt should not be much, calculated down, deducting the principal, at most it would only be around 4,000 gold coins. Adding this time he refined the medicinal materials in his hands, he estimated that he could repay them cleanly.

  When they arrived at a deserted place, Lu Shaoyou quickly put the medicine in his storage ring and rushed to the back mountain. The little dragon had been stuck on the back mountain for quite some time.

  Rushing to the back mountain, Lu Shao seemed to be able to feel Xiao Long's existence. In a valley forest, Lu Shao was looking forward when suddenly, an invisible wave surged in the surrounding space.
