In the small hall of the rear courtyard, the Lu cultivator sat facing Wang Chen.
This uninvited guest was named Lu Huaizhen, an elder of the Lu Family in the Third Quadrant.
Thousand Stars Immortal City was vast. From the inside out, it was divided into thirteen quadrants, much like the ring roads of major cities in Wang Chen's Previous Life. The core area consisted of the First to Sixth Quadrants, home to over a thousand merchant clans.
In Thousand Stars Immortal City, no clan could be established without commerce. Any great family able to secure a place in the Third Quadrant was bound to possess formidable strength!
But the Wang Clan was in the Third Quadrant, and so was the Lu Family. Now that one of their Golden Core True Persons had suddenly come calling, Wang Chen felt that nine times out of ten, it was not good news!
Lu Huaizhen set down his teacup and sighed. "Fellow Daoist Wang, as a Golden Core cultivator, you are wasting away in this tiny Magic Tool shop in the Seventh Quadrant. It is truly beneath you!"
Without waiting for a reply, he looked directly at Wang Chen and said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, I shall get straight to the point. Our Lu Family wishes to hire you as a Golden Core guest elder. What do you think?"
Wang Chen smiled. "Thank you for the Lu Family's esteem, but for now, I have no intention of joining a great clan."
The other party's purpose was clearly the same as Wang Chenming's. Wang Chen had refused even the Wang Clan, so how could he agree to join the Lu Family?
With the two families visiting one after another, he felt the waters beneath this ran rather deep and had no desire to become entangled.
