I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Early morning.

Another bustling day has begun in Wuling County.

Since the three major families of Wuling County disappeared one after another, the lives of the people in Wuling County seem to have become much easier. It is said that the new magistrate was directly appointed by the imperial court.

In other words, they were officials of the new dynasty.

After taking control of Wuling County, he began to vigorously develop infrastructure and improve people's livelihoods.

Although the people are not exactly wealthy.

However, compared to before, it was even worse.

Lu Xuan also felt that he had done some good deeds without realizing it.

But this matter shouldn't be discussed indiscriminately.

Many things, once done, cannot be spoken of.

For example, the conflict between the Mu family of Jinyuan City and the Qinghe Sword Sect still seems to be unresolved.

Lu Xuan is setting off for Jinyuan City today.

With the array left by Lu Xuan inside Zihu Manor, plus Ye Luoxin's protection, there shouldn't be any problem.

Lu Xuan gave Ye Luoxin a year's worth of pills all at once.

For Lu Xuan now, refining second-grade pills is just a matter of lifting a finger.

Ye Luoxin was terrified by this.

Even in their minds, they couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild.

The master has been so good to her, and she doesn't know how to repay Lu Xuan.

Seeing that Master Lu seems to really like children, if I had the chance, could I also give him one?

After all, the old man looks younger and younger these days.

If it weren't told, no one would believe that Lu Xuan was a seventy-year-old man.

When this idea appeared in Ye Luoxin's mind, she immediately shook her head repeatedly.

This is utterly absurd!

How could I possibly be thinking about such things?

That's my own master!

If I do something like that, what will the ladies think of me?

Moreover, I still have unfinished swordsmanship tasks taught by my master.

We can't expect to settle down.

Once I've saved enough money, I'll still have to move forward on my own path.

In reality, Ye Luoxin wasn't actually coveting the benefits Lu Xuan had given her.

The main reason is that Lu Xuan helped her comprehend sword intent.

He was generous to himself, which helped him break through his limitations.

This made Ye Luoxin very grateful to Lu Xuan.

At the same time, Ye Luoxin also discovered it.

It seems that even when Master Lu is out, he has quite a few enemies to guard against.

It seems unlikely that Master Lu alone could protect these ladies.

Therefore, Ye Luoxin also plans to stay here as a guard, which can be considered as helping Lu Xuan and sharing some of the security pressure.

This will relieve Lu Xuan of his worries.

This is all she can do for now.

Lu Xuan had no idea what Ye Luoxin was thinking.

After explaining to everyone, he boarded the carriage arranged by Xu Jing for the Ancient Cloud Pharmacy.

The driver was Granny Luo, whom we had met before.

When Granny Luo saw Lu Xuan, she bowed very respectfully.

"Greetings, sir."

Although Xu Jing did not confess her relationship with Lu Xuan to Granny Luo, Granny Luo was not stupid and could see some things, most importantly, Lu Xuan's terrifying strength.

That day at the inn, he made a direct move and easily killed three second-rank experts.

Not a single one managed to escape.

Lu Xuan nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

The carriage was very spacious.

And there were also soft cushions underneath.

When the carriage was moving, you could not feel the slightest bump.

Xu Jing was also wearing a light purple fitted long dress today, but she was wearing a coat over it.

She looks dignified and poised.

At this moment, she nestled in Lu Xuan's arms.

They also recounted the methods and arrangements they had made during this period.

"Liang Wanquan probably never expected this."

"His move backfired and made him the one who suffered the most."

Xu Jing said.

"They're nothing but ants; they can't cause any trouble."

Lu Xuan stroked Xu Jing's fair and smooth back and said in a calm tone.

In the past, he might have thought it would be troublesome and he would have to be careful. But now, Lu Xuan's cultivation has reached the fourth rank, and his overall level has instantly risen.

With the added power of the Xuan Tian Martial Bone, Lu Xuan's strength is undeniably formidable.

The only thing to be careful of are some reclusive old folks.

Generally speaking, once your cultivation reaches the fourth rank, people will give each other some face and avoid things getting too tense.

"OK."

"By the way, I've also asked around about the Northern Spirit Pill Sect."

"The Dan Sect is unaware of these matters at the moment."

"However, Zhang Yuan belongs to the External Affairs Hall. Now that a steward has gotten into trouble, the External Affairs Hall will definitely not let this go."

"We don't know yet whether the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall will take action for Zhang Yuan and Lü Hui."

Lu Xuan listened and understood.

In other words, Zhang Yuan either made the decision on his own.

Either they received instructions from the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall.

This is the highest level we can reach; it has nothing to do with the Northern Spirit Pill Sect.

Now it remains to be seen how the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall will handle this matter.

"When you're in the world of martial arts, you don't have to do things entirely according to other people's wishes."

"If we wait until the other side makes a move, it will definitely have an impact on us."

"Since this person is also involved, I will take action and eliminate him as well."

Lu Xuan said calmly.

In reality, Xu Jing was still clinging to a sliver of hope.

After all, Zhang Yuan was a steward of the Foreign Affairs Hall.

If he were to do something, how could that so-called "hall master," as his direct superior, not know?

This person must have given instructions and approval behind the scenes.

Otherwise, Zhang Yuan wouldn't have wanted to leave so quickly when he saw Xu Jing arrive, because he didn't want to make a big fuss.

They only thought about getting things resolved quickly and decisively, so that everything else would be easier to handle.

Then Xu Jing appeared.

With Gu Yun Pharmacy as his backer, coupled with the fact that what he did, cannot withstand scrutiny.

So Zhang Yuan left immediately.

Unfortunately, he didn't get very far and died at Lu Xuan's hands.

The reason why the other party has not responded for so many days is...

It's likely that they don't know the exact situation of Zhang Yuan and Lü Hui; whether they are dead or not is another question.

Another issue is the insider trading and embezzlement, which is becoming increasingly prominent.

There will be some impact, to some extent.

Being hesitant to act for fear of causing harm means they dare not make a move at such a critical juncture.

Solved at the same time!?

Xu Jing's eyes widened when she heard Lu Xuan's words.

He was greatly surprised.

Clearly, Lu Xuan's purpose on this trip was to take care of Liang Wanquan along the way.

Then we'll deal with the head of the External Affairs Hall of the Northern Spirit Pill Sect!

That's incredible.

"Tell me about that so-called hall master."

"Master, the head of the External Affairs Hall of the Northern Spirit Pill Sect is named He Donglin."

"This person mainly operates within Jinyuan City."

"Among the three major sects in this treasure-hunting competition, the person in charge of the Northern Spirit Pill Sect is this He Donglin."

"Moreover, this person's cultivation is said to have reached the mid-stage of the third rank... Master, are you confident?"

Xu Jing quickly said.

Middle section of the third rank.

In the eyes of many, this level of cultivation is already a very high level.

They are beings that one can only look up to even after a lifetime of effort.

Even Xu Jing was very wary of it.

If one's cultivation level reaches the middle stage of the third rank, then at least within Jinyuan City, one would be considered a powerful and influential figure.

In addition, there's the added advantage of his status as a member of the Northern Spirit Pill Sect.

This also directly elevated He Donglin's status.

Although Xu Jing trusted Lu Xuan, she did not recommend doing so if the cost was too high.

"Oh? Mid-level of Rank 3?"

Lu Xuan listened and only expressed a slight surprise.

"It can barely be considered a slightly stronger ant."

If it were before yesterday, Lu Xuan would have considered postponing the matter a little, which would have been equivalent to giving He Donglin a chance.

But Lu Xuan is now a fourth-rank official.

Those so-called "third-rank" officials are all trash.

Stronger ants!?

Xu Jing's body trembled.

Just how powerful is the master now?

They don't even take a mid-level third-grade expert seriously.

Although Xu Jing really wanted to ask, she held back; she shouldn't ask things she shouldn't.

If a secret is ever told, it will eventually leak out.

If Lu Xuan doesn't bring it up, she won't ask him.

The carriage arrived at the entrance of Fenghai Martial Arts School.

Xu Jing had already spoken to Lin Haichao beforehand.

They arrived quickly and picked up the two of them.

However, Lin Haichao only greeted Lu Xuan briefly.

Then he helped Lin Qiao into the carriage, but did not get in himself.

"I'm so sorry, it's really bad timing."

"I have a senior classmate I haven't seen for many years who plans to travel with me, so I have no choice but to go and meet him."

"Qiao'er, you mustn't cause any trouble for Elder Lu and Steward Xu on the way."

Lin Haichao explained the reason.

Lu Xuan had no objection to this.

Xu Jing wouldn't have any objections either.

"In that case, we'll meet in Jinyuan City."

"Master Lin also paid attention to safety along the way."

Xu Jing said.

However, Lin Haichao is now a second-rank martial artist.

What else could be unsafe?

Even in Jinyuan City, a second-rank martial artist would be considered a top-tier expert among the main force.

There shouldn't be any danger.

"Alright, I'll leave my daughter in your care."

Lin Haichao bowed.

He then rode away alone.

Lin Qiao readily sat down next to Lu Xuan.

"Grandpa Lu, it's been a long time! You seem to have gotten even younger."

"Hehe, you little rascal, you always have such a sweet tongue."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan chuckled.

Xu Jing also watched this scene with a smile.

Looking at Lin Qiao's deliberate body language as she moved closer to Lu Xuan, she also noticed something amiss.

However, Xu Jing wouldn't get involved in this matter, nor did she have the right to.

"Miss Qiao'er is so talented and beautiful, I wonder what kind of ideal husband she has in mind?"

Xu Jing chuckled softly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiao's pretty face flushed slightly.

Where else can you find such a direct question?

"It's too early. I don't want to get married yet... Young people these days are too immature."

I still prefer someone more mature.
