The new house that Lü Shu and Lü Xiaoyu bought was not small. It was slightly bigger than the one in the inn. However, it was located in the easternmost part of Royal City, so it was more secluded.
When they first bought it, they thought it was quiet and secluded enough. However, what surprised Lü Shu was that he always heard the sound of carriages arriving in the middle of the night.
Later, Lü Shu sneaked a few glances and felt that something was wrong. He asked Yi Qian, "Who are the people living here? Why are they all women?!"
Yi Qian chuckled and said, "This place is called Caiyan Lane. It's a place where the sons of rich families hide their mistresses. Some of the sons of rich families have similar family backgrounds after marriage. In fact, the bride might even be more powerful than the groom, so they can't buy female slaves …"
"Okay, okay, I understand." The back of Lü Shu's head hurt a little. He actually hid in such a place. No wonder the carriages came in the middle of the night.
Yesterday, Lü Shu went out to see what was going on outside. He wanted to see if he could enter Jianlu now. When he went out, he saw a slender girl in a light muslin blocking the way of a young girl selling rouge at the entrance of the house next door. When the girl saw Lü Shu, she threw a red handkerchief through the wall that night …
Lü Shu threw the handkerchief back on the spot. There was a snort from next door, and it seemed that the person was quite angry …
Lü Xiaoyu frowned and muttered, "None of them are good!"
Li Liang and Yi Qian stood at the side and looked down, not saying a word.
Li Liang's injury recovery was very slow. Because his foundation had been broken, his strong recovery ability had also disappeared. In fact, cultivators with such serious injuries could recover in half a month at most. However, Li Liang was in a terrible state.
"Don't you think it's a pity that you lost your first-grade cultivation realm just like that?" Lü Shu asked curiously. He had also cultivated to first-grade with great difficulty. He had also lost his cultivation before, so Lü Shu knew very well what it felt like to work hard but achieve nothing in the end.
Right or wrong, success or failure, all in the blink of an eye.
Li Liang sighed and said, "Winner takes all. There's nothing much to say. Coming to this path, one should be mentally prepared … If you sympathize with me, can you arrange a bed for me first?"
Up until now, Li Liang had been kept in this house by Lü Shu for more than ten days, and he had been sleeping on the floor in Yi Qian's room!
There was a reason why Lü Shu had arranged for him to stay by Yi Qian's side. After all, although he had brought Li Liang back out of kindness, he was worried that Li Liang would betray him.
Lü Shu had known that Li Liang wasn't an honest man when they had first met. Song Ji's high priest, Zhao Shuai, had told Lü Shu that before the Blackfeather Army had retreated, someone had followed Lü Shu and bought a few sets of equipment, worth tens of millions of godnotes. Song Ji had investigated and found out that the person had been Li Liang's classmate at the Imperial College, and was now the commander of the Water Dragon Station.
The name 'Water Dragon Station' sounded like they were raising dragons, but it wasn't. In fact, it was the equivalent of Earth's fire brigade ….
Lü Shu wasn't embarrassed at all. "You were covered in blood, and your wounds hadn't healed yet. I gave you a bed, but you'd get dirty after a day or two. Now that your wounds have healed, I'm going to arrange a bed for you!"
Li Liang, who had taken the initiative to ask for a bed, suddenly grew wary. "How much? My money has already been taken away by Duanmu Huangqi's men! "
"Look at you, don't be so polite." Lü Shu laughed it off. This time, he really didn't plan on asking for money. Only Lü Xiaoyu knew that Lü Shu wanted him!
Zhang Weiyu was indeed competent enough to take over Wu Weijun's position, but Lü Xiaoyu knew that Lü Shu had always been worried about Zhang Weiyu, because Zhang Weiyu's loyalty had always been to the Divine King, whom he had never met, and not Lü Shu.
This wasn't something that could be solved with a little kindness. For example, although Lü Shu had joined Jianlu, he still wanted to go back and be the ninth Tengra.
Moreover, before Lü Shu left, Zhang Weiyu had shown a strange psychological activity of not wanting to be the commander-in-chief. Therefore, Lü Shu had to plan ahead, hoping to find a suitable person to replace Zhang Weiyu's position.
Liu Yizhao wanted to be a scout, so Lü Shu let him be a scout. Zhang Weiyu didn't want to face the self-blame of his soldiers' deaths, so Lü Shu was willing to give him a chance to let himself go.
Now that Li Liang's life had fallen to the bottom, although Lü Shu wasn't kind to do this, it was really the best time to buy Li Liang over!
Even in Lü Zhou, it was a very cost-effective deal to recruit a first-grade martial artist. After all, how many martial grandmasters were there in the world?
Lü Shu once thought that Lü Zhou's population shouldn't be as large as Earth's. After all, in ancient times, there weren't many people on Earth. However, after Lü Shu thought about it and visited a few more cities, he realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.
Lü Zhou was about the same size as Earth. Although the materials here couldn't be compared to those on Earth, Lü Shu neglected one point. The average lifespan here was much longer than on Earth.
Originally, Lü Shu thought that food was a big problem. After all, people like Zhang Weiyu couldn't even survive by farming.
However, later, Lü Shu discovered that Zhang Weiyu couldn't survive because of the heavy taxes and the fact that his fields were always destroyed by the slaves in Tianjiao Town. That was why he couldn't survive.
However, when he took charge of Nangeng City, he realized that the zhuang's harvest here was actually much better than on Earth. This was because this place had entered the Spirit Energy Era thousands of years ago!
Therefore, Lü Shu thought that there were probably billions of people in Lü Zhou, right? Among these billions of people, there were only a dozen or so martial grandmasters. The ratio was so low that it made one's hair stand on end.
Of course, now that Lü Shu had reached the first-grade, he understood some principles. It was possible that one might not be able to reach the realm of martial grandmaster in one's lifetime, but it could also happen naturally when the conditions were right.
Now that he thought about it, Nie Ting was probably the well-deserved number one person on Earth, and not the number one person in the East.
However, Li Liang was also a smart person. When he heard someone like Lü Shu say that he didn't want money, he immediately became more vigilant. How could a person like Lü Shu not want money? Unless Lü Shu wanted something bigger!
"What do you want?" Li Liang was a little nervous.
Lü Shu said angrily, "Don't you want to look in the mirror?"
Li Liang originally looked less than 30 years old. Because his cultivation had extended his lifespan, cultivators could maintain their youthful appearance for a very long time. Now, because Li Liang's foundation had been damaged, he had begun to age rapidly. In the end, he might maintain the appearance of a forty-year-old like Zhang Weiyu and the others.
In fact, Li Liang was also very clear that he had no value at all. He was a useless person without strength and money. What could Lü Shu want from him? This was the thing that puzzled Li Liang the most.
