Chapter 6: Meeting on a Narrow Road

Lu Yu used the power of the Red Lotus to treat the injuries of Lu Yuanshan and others.

Seeing the injuries on his body healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, Lu Yuanshan was so surprised that his mouth could not close.

"Master... what is this?"

"This is the healing method left by my father, but my power is not enough at the moment, so I can only treat you with lighter injuries. When I become more powerful in the future, I will definitely heal Brother Qing's legs!"

Lu Yu also pushed the matter of the Lotus Nirvana Medical Sutra to Lu Tianying.

"This... is this really okay? That's great, this old servant first thanks the young master for his great kindness on behalf of Lu Qing!"

Lu Yuanshan's voice trembled with excitement.

"No, I should be the one to say thank you."

After treating Lu Yuanshan and others, Lu Yu was already sweating.

Several people walked out of the south wing.

Lu Yu suddenly said solemnly: "Fourth uncle, I want to purchase a batch of Julingdan."

Lu Yuanshan was delighted to hear this.

In the past five years, this is the first time that Lu Yu has taken the initiative to purchase the Soul Gathering Pill, which shows that his cultivation has indeed returned to the right track.

"How many?"

"Eight hundred pills."

Lu Yuanshan was shocked.

Eight hundred Soul Gathering Pills is not a small number. Even if the annual expenses of the entire Third House are not enough, it cannot reach this number.

But he did not say anything. He secretly calculated and said, "The silver in the warehouse is probably only enough to buy four hundred pills..."

This number was also beyond Lu Yu's expectations. When his father was alive, eight hundred Soul Gathering Pills were just a month's expenses, but now even if the warehouse is used up, it can only reach half of this number.

"Has the family business been difficult in recent years?" Lu Yu asked.

Lu Yuanshan sighed: "In the years when the Third Master was away, the business of our Third House has indeed shrunk a lot, but this is only one aspect..."

"The more serious problem is that without the deterrence of the Third Master, they have intercepted them without authorization..."

Lu Yu nodded in understanding.

He has never cared about business matters in these years. Even as the young master, he has not paid attention to these issues.

"If that's the case, call all the managers here tomorrow. I want to hold an internal meeting of the third house."

Lu Yuanshan was stunned: "What is the young master going to do?"

Lu Yu said two words calmly.

"Check the accounts."

...

The order to summon managers from all places was quickly passed down.

The third house, which had been silent for many years, seemed to be stirred up like a pool of stagnant water, and undercurrents surged for a while.

The next day at noon, outside Ding'an City, Wuli Wharf.

A building ship slowly approached the shore.

A bloated middle-aged man walked down from the side of the ship. He was dressed in silk and satin, jewels and gems, and followed by a dozen strong guards, looking very impressive.

"Boss Jia, you are here."

As soon as he got ashore, someone greeted the bloated middle-aged man.

The bloated middle-aged man looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the other party was a tall man with muscular body, looking strong and powerful. There were also eight or nine strong men of the same build standing beside him.

"It turned out to be Master Xue, you are here too."

The two sides walked together.

The tall man laughed and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, Jia Youcai, you are really getting more and more powerful. I almost thought this was a prince from somewhere... If you don't know him, who would know that he is just a steward of the third room of the Lu family?"

"Master Xue, don't make fun of me. I need this for business. It's just superficial. How can it compare to your carefree life in Wangchuan Horse Farm!"

It turned out that these two people were stewards of the third room.

One is Jia Youcai who is in charge of the jewelry business, and the other is Xue Rulong who is in charge of Wangchuan Horse Farm.

"Come to think of it, in the past, you always sent a deputy to deal with any situation, but this time you came in person. Did you also hear about Lu Xing's beheading in Wangchuan?"

"Old Jia, let's not beat around the bush. Just say whatever you want to say. This matter is obviously not simple. While there is still some time, let's discuss it. What are your plans?"

Jia Youcai spread his hands and said, "What plans can I have? Since Master Yu has summoned us, we should just listen to his instructions."

Xue Rulong squinted and said, "Aren't you afraid that he will ask you to scrape off this layer of fat on your body?"

Jia Youcai smiled and said, "So, what I said is, just listen. Who told you to do it?"

"Old Jia, you are really an old fox... "

Jia Youcai laughed and patted Xue Rulong on the shoulder: "You live far away in Wangchuan and rushed all the way here. I'm afraid there is something you haven't heard yet?"

Xue Rulong was stunned: "What's the matter?"

"A few days ago, our third housekeeper Lu Yuanshan and his nephews went to Jianghuai to seek medical treatment for the young master. Unfortunately, they were intercepted on the way and were seriously injured. Now they are lying in bed to recuperate."

Xue Rulong was surprised: "Is this true?"

Jia Youcai nodded: "It is true."

"Then... our third house is really unlucky. Young Master Yu was injured a few days ago, and now it's Lu Yuanshan and his nephews. It's really raining on the roof..."

"Alas, who said it wasn't..."

The two of them spoke with regret, but their faces were clearly smiling.

Xue Rulong suddenly remembered something and his smile faded.

"But, Old Jia, I heard that Lu Xing died under the Feihong Sword... Is this true or false?"

Jia Youcai said calmly: "Whether it is true or not, what does it matter? As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands. We have so many managers. Does the young master want to make us all obey him with just a sword? He is not the third master."

"Besides..."

Jia Youcai paused and continued: "Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to support it. What do we have to worry about!"

"What do you mean?"

Jia Youcai suddenly put his hands on the awning and looked into the distance: "Then, look, the tall man is coming!"

Xue Rulong turned his head and saw a three-masted giant ship appeared at the end of the river, riding the wind and waves. The huge and dark hull almost filled the entire river.

"This is..."

Xue Rulong was horrified.

"The Black Dragon of Yushan Mine!"

...

The third room of the Lu family.

In a quiet courtyard, Lu Yu was practicing sword.

He was practicing the Tianxing sword technique.

At first glance, the power of the sword is not that amazing, but the connection between each move is perfect, which looks pleasing to the eye, like flowing clouds and water.

But if someone familiar with this sword technique sees it, he will probably be shocked, because Lu Yu is actually performing this sword technique backwards.

This completely violates the normal law of qi circulation. Such random performance will be backfired by the true qi. At the least, it will make people restless and powerless, and at the worst, it will go crazy and destroy their cultivation.

However, Lu Yu seemed to be fine.

This is simply incredible!

All this is because of the nine red lotus cyclones in Lu Yu's body.

After this period of research, Lu Yu has been able to control the nine cyclones separately, making them fast and slow, so that when he makes a move, he can control the internal qi more accurately.

Others only use one thing at a time, or at most two things at a time, but he uses nine things at a time.

Even if it is the same sword technique, when Lu Yu uses it, there may be dozens of more variations than others, making it difficult for the opponent to defend.

A set of Tianxing sword techniques was performed.

Lu Yu found that his understanding of this set of sword techniques had deepened a bit.

At this time, the old housekeeper Lu Yuanshan walked in.

"Master, Lu Tian sent back the news that the stewards have basically arrived in Ding'an City, and each of them brought a lot of guards. It seems that they are all here with bad intentions."

Lu Yu nodded, his expression normal.

"Okay, I know."

Lu Yuanshan looked worried.

"In addition, Dou Changhe has also arrived, and he came back on the Black Dragon!"

"Black Dragon?" Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, "Why did he come back on the Black Dragon? Could it be that he also brought a ship of ore along the way?"

"On the Black Dragon... there are 100 Xuanjia Guards."

Lu Yuanshan's tone was quite solemn, and he obviously felt that this matter was quite tricky.

Lu Yu laughed: "Oh, he is so grand! Is he deliberately trying to show off to me?"

Lu Yuanshan said: "Yushan Mine has always been highly competitive. After the Third Master left, it has experienced a lot of blood and rain, but this has stimulated the development of the mine's military equipment. In recent years, the mine's military equipment has become stronger year by year. Dou Changhe has become a local emperor in Yushan Mine."

"In my opinion, Dou Changhe's move is just a demonstration to the young master, but more importantly, it is a demonstration to the entire Lu family. If our third house does not perform well in the four counties' martial arts competition next month, the mine may be handed over. Dou Changhe wants the Lu family not to despise him. No matter who takes over the Yushan Mine, he can continue to be his local emperor."

Lu Yu nodded in agreement.

The Xuanjia Guard was founded when his father was alive. It is a guard specially used to protect the mine. Everyone is fully armed with a black armor and has amazing combat power. If it were not for demonstrating to the entire Lu family, Dou Changhe would have no need to mobilize so many troops.

"Master, why don't we... put this matter on hold... Anyway, Master's cultivation talent has been restored. As long as time passes, he will be able to make a comeback."

Lu Yu shook his head: "Fourth Uncle, we have no way out."

If we take this step back, the entire Third House will fall apart.

Without the Third House as a platform, where can Lu Yu get the resources for cultivation?

"But... Dou Changhe is coming with such force this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop him!"

A ruthless look appeared on Lu Yu's face.

"When two people meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. It's not certain who will win or lose."
