Li Xuanran Fell Silent

"Is this Qingshan Garden? It's truly magnificent!"

Looking at the luxurious scene before him, Lu Jiuyuan said with some surprise. He hadn't expected Li Xuanran to give him such a lavish villa. He'd have to repay him a little later.

"Of course. Beneath this Qingshan Garden lies an Earth Grade top-tier spirit vein, something even sixth-rate powers would covet."

Li Xuanran said with pride. He then looked towards Li Qingping, his gaze practically screaming for her to stay the night.

"Qingping, are you returning with me or staying here?"

"King Father, I'd prefer to return. I'm quite tired and wish to rest," Li Qingping shook her head and then turned to look at Lu Jiuyuan.

"Jiuyuan, in that case, I'll come find you tomorrow."

"Mm, see you tomorrow."

Lu Jiuyuan naturally wouldn't force the issue. While he did have desires, now was not the time to indulge them.

"Young friend Lu, rest well."

Li Xuanran said with a smile, then waved and left Qingshan Garden with Li Qingping, leaving only Lu Jiuyuan and the Thousand Ghost King.

Li Xuanran was naturally thorough. He had already prepared dozens of servants in Qingshan Garden to take care of Lu Jiuyuan's daily life in the capital city.

Soon, a delicate-looking woman approached Lu Jiuyuan and knelt respectfully.

"Patriarch, I am Lin Zhiling, the supervisor of Qingshan Garden. I will be responsible for all your needs here. If you require anything, please tell me directly."

Looking at Lin Zhiling's curvaceous figure, Lu Jiuyuan said with a hint of amusement.

"Oh, all needs? Truly?"

Lin Zhiling couldn't help but blush, understanding the implication in Lu Jiuyuan's tone.

"If the Patriarch requires it, Zhiling will naturally satisfy him."

Just as Lin Zhiling thought Lu Jiuyuan would make a move, Lu Jiuyuan smiled and shook his head.

"Alright, I'm a bit tired. Take me to my bedroom, I need to rest. Also, arrange a bedroom for my guard."

"Yes, Patriarch!"

Lin Zhiling was stunned for a moment but quickly recovered. With a command, two women led the Thousand Ghost King away.

This was the capital of the Yuanwu Kingdom, and with the Thousand Ghost King being a Mid-stage Tribulation Crossing great power, he could reach Lu Jiuyuan in an instant if anything happened. Thus, Lu Jiuyuan didn't plan to have the Thousand Ghost King follow him into the room.

During the ten days on the Thousand Mile Shuttle, Lu Jiuyuan had been in a constant state of cultivation and naturally felt a sense of boredom.

Although cultivation had a feeling similar to sleep, it couldn't compare to actual sleep. This was why some great powers chose to slumber rather than cultivate continuously.

In the main room, the decorations were exceptionally exquisite. Even the bed was made of Ten Thousand Year Starwood, which could calm the mind and restore energy while sleeping, offering significant benefits even to cultivators in the Harmonious Dao Stage.

"Patriarch, do you have any other instructions?"

After bringing Lu Jiuyuan in, Lin Zhiling closed her eyes and took a deep breath, preparing for her fate. Although she was the supervisor, she knew her position; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was a concubine arranged by Li Xuanran for Lu Jiuyuan.

After all, with Lu Jiuyuan's status and background, he deserved three wives and four concubines.

"Mm."

Hearing Lu Jiuyuan nod, Lin Zhiling also prepared herself and was about to remove her clothes when she heard Lu Jiuyuan say calmly.

"Go down and handle all matters in Qingshan Garden. I need to go out tomorrow."

Lin Zhiling: ??????

I took off my pants and you tell me this?

"What's wrong?"

Lu Jiuyuan asked curiously. Lin Zhiling quickly replied.

"No, nothing. I wish the Patriarch sweet dreams!"

With that, Lin Zhiling fled like she was escaping, closing the room door behind her. Seeing this, Lu Jiuyuan couldn't help but chuckle.

He knew Lin Zhiling's intentions. It was no exaggeration to say that as a transmigrator, it was impossible for him not to be lustful. However, he had a more attractive target than Lin Zhiling, and that was Li Qingping.

He'd put Lin Zhiling aside for now until he could win over Li Qingping. At least that way, he wouldn't miss out.

After Lin Zhiling left, Lu Jiuyuan lay on the Ten Thousand Year Starwood with enjoyment. Instantly, he felt as if his soul was being massaged.

As expected of Ten Thousand Year Starwood, it was truly comfortable.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhiling, after escaping outside, couldn't help but stop. Thinking of something, she couldn't help but smile.

"This Patriarch is truly interesting."

With that, Lin Zhiling smiled and shook her head, then went down to handle matters in Qingshan Garden. On the other side, the Thousand Ghost King was assigned a room, but he chose to cultivate instead of resting.

After all, under Lu Changsheng's guidance that day, he was already very close to breaking through to the late stage. It would only take a little more time.

However, at this moment, the Thousand Ghost King seemed to sense something. He opened his eyes and looked in a certain direction, but quickly closed them again.

He sensed the presence of many spies outside Qingshan Garden, but they held no hostility. Otherwise, he would have eliminated them immediately.

Now, with the Lu Family as his backing, he naturally didn't need to worry about things as much.

As Li Xuanran gave away Qingshan Garden, many prominent families in the capital city received the news and couldn't help but speculate about what kind of influential figure could make Li Xuanran part with Qingshan Garden.

Subsequently, they dispatched numerous spies to infiltrate the vicinity of Qingshan Garden, hoping to discover the identity of the important person residing there. If they could learn who it was and establish a good relationship, it might just be a golden opportunity.

Within Yuanwu Kingdom, the State Mansion wasn't the only power; many families survived by being affiliated with Yuanwu Kingdom, and these families also harbored many strong cultivators, with some even reaching the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

The Li Family of Yuanwu Kingdom.

"Oh, interesting. Li Xuanran actually gave away Qingshan Garden. The other party's background must be someone even Li Xuanran would respect. Pass down the order to thoroughly investigate who has moved into Qingshan Garden."

The Guo Family.

"Investigate that person's background clearly, and try to curry favor with him. I want to get news about him as soon as possible. If we can get his help, we might be able to replace the Li Family's position."

Many families shared this same thought. The entire Yuanwu Kingdom began to stir with undercurrents following Lu Jiuyuan's arrival, though Lu Jiuyuan himself was unaware of this. He was currently lying comfortably in bed, even rolling over.
