When Ye Mo Han went out the door, he saw Lu Kun waiting for him outside. Lu Kun felt a little unnatural when he saw the fresh look on Ye Wen's face. He had never expected that the beggar from yesterday would change his clothes and become such a handsome Young Master.
Lu Kun coughed a few times as he tried to introduce the Lu family to Ye Mo Han. Perhaps he was trying his best to maintain his dignity as he said: "Just now, the people you saw were the young masters of our Lu family. All of the Lu banks under the heavens belong to our Lu family."
The Lu bank was spread throughout the territory of various sects and powers. It was the largest and most reputable bank in the world, accepting money and jewelry, as well as pawning business. The founder was Lu Quisong, the father of Lu Zibai, who died of illness more than a decade ago. At that time, Lu Zibai, who was not even in his prime yet, took over the business, and people guessed that he would sell the bank to the Nangong family. That was because the Nangong family had offered extremely attractive conditions, and of course the conditions were accompanied by pressure. However, Lu Ziyu did not force Lu to sell the bank due to pressure, but over the years, the bank did even more. Nowadays, the Lu bank was everywhere, far surpassing the one in which Lu Quisong lived. Moreover, Lu Zibai's relationship with the major forces in the martial arts world was not ordinary. This was perhaps one of the main reasons the Lu bank could grow. Even the Nangong family that wanted to take over the Lu bank had praised Lu Zibai's talents later on, and even the son of the Nangong family, Nangong Ping, admired Lu Zibai greatly. Just from the point of view of business, Lu Ziyi's tactics and strategy could be said to be in the hands of an ordinary person.
Ye Mo Han didn't pay much attention to the Lu bank. He didn't even know who the boss behind the Lu bank was. Therefore, Lu Kun continued to boast beside him, while Ye Mo Han remained silent. It would have been better if Ye Mo Han had a reaction, but seeing that his expression did not change, Lu Kun was even more uncertain. He planned to move out to the Lu bank to suppress him so that Ye Mo Han would not dare to underestimate him. This way, Lu Kun didn't know what to do. Without another word, he led Ye Mo Han to a house and left in embarrassment.
Lu Ziyi had been waiting at the foot of the stairs for a long time. Seeing the cold sheets, her eyes were full of praise. She pointed to the room behind her and said, "This is a place I specifically use to receive distinguished guests."
The room was lavishly furnished, the top of the room empty, with tables on each side. There were all sorts of delicacies and rare fruits and vegetables on the tables, and some of them were things Ye Han had never seen in his life before. Without the distinction of being the host, Lu Zibai and Ye Mo Han sat facing each other, Ye Mo Han thought to himself, this man paid particular attention to the details, if he was an enemy, then he would definitely be an opponent not to be looked down upon.
The wine cups and vessels were all emerald in color and crystal clear, but the wine wine was as red as blood. The bright red wine in the dark green container was even more fragrant. Even before the wine had been poured into the cup, the cold leaf seemed to smell the fragrance of the wine.
Lu Zibai poured himself a glass of wine and downed it in one gulp. "I bought this wine from overseas. It's not easy to get a lot of money."
The wine entered his throat and had a strong taste. Afterward, it turned into a warm and sweet feeling in his stomach. Not long after that, Ye Wen felt his entire body become warm. Ye Wen Han poured another cup and drank it. "It is indeed a good wine."
"Of course, we have to give Hero some good wine." "Lu Ziyi stared at Ye Wen." "You said that you were lucky enough to run away, but as far as I know, there are only a hundred fields in the south. No matter what size the mountain bandits are, they were either annihilated by Sect Leader Zhang or pledged their allegiance to the Hua Shan Sect."
Of course, Ye Mo Han's lies were full of loopholes, and it was also reasonable that Lu Zibai had exposed them: "In this chaotic world, who doesn't have some secrets? I'm just an insignificant person and can't create any trouble, so Young Master Lu don't worry too much."
Not only in troubled times, but even in peaceful times, who would not have a secret? As long as one's secrets did not harm others, one could become a good existence for others to pry into.
"Please don't blame me. There are nearly a thousand people in the Lu family. I have to be careful." "Lu Zibai continued to press on." "Sir, you still haven't said your name. Is there really something you need to say?" Also, I tested your internal energy and you actually didn't seem to have any internal energy at all. "
"I am Cloudsoar." "Ye Mo Han just randomly made up a name and then made up a story." I did practice some martial arts when I was young, but my personality was slow, and because I couldn't practice my internal energy well, I was kicked out of the sect by Master. "
Ye Mo Han secretly observed Lu Zi Bai's expression and saw that he didn't really believe his words, but Ye Zi Han's words were enough to stop her from asking further. As expected, Lu Ziyi didn't ask any further questions and just kept talking to the world. Ye Mo Han occasionally interrupted and the two of them started to chat. In the words of Lu Ziyi, Ye Jianhan had a general understanding of what had happened in the period when he had fallen to the bottom of the cliff.
During this year, the Kongtong Sect was completely destroyed and the remaining people all escaped. The Mo Clan and Hua Shan Sect were at loggerheads because of the issue of who the Kongtong territory belonged to. The other factions were all watching from the sidelines and no one stood out openly to support them. All the major sects wanted to see the Hua Shan Sect and Mo Clan start a conflict to their advantage. The Hua Shan Sect and Mo Clan were relatively clear-headed. Both sides had only sent a few troops to fight in Kongtong territory. It could be considered a mutual victory, but the commoners had been nurtured. The wasteland that Ye Wen Han traversed belonged to Kongtong. However, Kongtong had been destroyed. The locals were afraid that the war would implicate them, so they moved their families to the lands under the Nangong family, leaving those fields behind. Although the Lu family didn't have any military force, their silver manor spread throughout the world. No matter which power it was, they wouldn't dare to challenge it, and would even try to rope in Lu Zichong for their own benefits.
Ye Chanhan thought that it was very likely that Kongtong's territory would end up belonging to the Nangong Clan. After all, he had gotten the moon near the water tower first. The Nan Gong Family was stuck between the Mo Clan and Hua Shan Sect, and they turned a deaf ear to the conflict between the two powers. Nangong Ping was definitely determined to get Kong Tong's territory, and many people in the martial arts world could see this. Even the commoners of Kongtong fled to the wealthy Nangong family.
Wu Dang and Young Master Lin's two leading sects didn't have much to do during this period of time. The two sects' Sect Leaders seemed to be busy with their own matters, ignoring everything else. Perhaps it was just as Lu Zibai had said, the two sect leaders of the two major sects were somewhat ashamed and angry about Chi Feng's matter. Unless it was a moment of great chaos, the two sects would not interfere in the affairs of the martial arts world. On this point, Ye Mo Han didn't agree. On the surface, both Wu Zhi and Sun Muxia didn't ask about the affairs of the martial arts world, but they had definitely reached a consensus on this. Sun Muxia and Wuyu, one had the demeanor of a saint, the other was a reputed monk, but Ye Mo Han didn't feel that these two were that extraordinary, if anything, they were only chasing after the reputation of power with less urgency than the others.
Regardless of what kind of agreement Sun Musheng and Wuzhi Qi reached, Wu Dang and Shaolin didn't ask about the martial arts world, which made it a foregone conclusion that the Hua Shan Sect would be the first faction to emerge. Thinking of Zhang Qingwu leading Ye Wen, Ye Qinghan felt rather uncomfortable. Thus, he followed Chi Feng and talked about the Jade Pavilion. This was Ye Qingwu's true purpose; he wanted to see how strong the Jade Pavilion would become in a year.
