The next day!
Before eight in the morning, Lu Chuan brought Mother Liang Ya and his Younger Sister Lu Wangshu into the Inner City.
Liang Ya had originally packed quite a bit of luggage—pots, pans, ladles, and bowls piled up in heaps. The sight gave Lu Chuan a headache, so he directly used his sister's safety and the need to enter the city as soon as possible as an excuse.
He talked Liang Ya into throwing away most of the things, and they entered the Inner City with only a few changes of clothes.
Over an hour later.
The three of them arrived at their home in the Beichen Mansion residential complex in the Inner City. The neighborhood was extremely pleasant, with an air of nobility and elegance everywhere.
Liang Ya, who had never entered the Inner City in her entire life, immediately became noticeably restrained.
On the contrary, Lu Wangshu did not think too much about it. As a child, she only knew that she would have a new home to live in, and she was overjoyed.
She ran back and forth through the rooms by herself, excited beyond measure.
"Wow, Brother, is this where we'll be living from now on? This is amazing... It's so much better than where we used to live."
Lu Wangshu spun around the living room, shouting excitedly.
"That's right. This will be our new home from now on." Lu Chuan smiled and nodded. Then, looking at the somewhat restrained Liang Ya, he said with a smile, "Mother, your son bought this house. What are you so nervous about?
This house has three rooms. I'll take you to see your rooms now."
"Alright..."
Liang Ya smiled and nodded. "I've never lived in such a nice house in my life, so of course I'm a little nervous.
Xiaochuan, this house must have cost a lot, right?"
"Not much. I can afford it completely, so don't worry."
Lu Chuan smiled, but he did not tell her the price of the house. He was afraid of frightening his mother.
After all, if Liang Ya learned that the down payment alone had cost him several million, and that he still owed the bank several million in loans...
She would probably worry so much that she could not eat, so it was Better to not tell her.
"Mother, I need to go out later. I might not be back for lunch. There are vegetables in the refrigerator. Cook whatever you want. You don't need to wait for me."
Half an hour later, after settling Liang Ya and Lu Wangshu in, Lu Chuan did not waste any words. He left the residential complex and headed straight for Kunlun Martial Arts School.
As one of Fengle City's Four Great Martial Arts Schools, Kunlun Martial Arts School naturally had a considerable reputation in the Inner City.
So although it was Lu Chuan's first time visiting Kunlun Martial Arts School, he merely asked around along the way and quickly found the location, arriving at its entrance.
Looking at the enormous estate before him, antique in style and resembling an ancient manor, Lu Chuan could not help but sigh.
"Lu Chuan, over here..."
The moment he arrived at the entrance, Lu Chuan saw someone waving at him from the gate.
It was Ning Yang, who had invited him to sign the contract before.
A Rich smile was spread across Ning Yang's face as he strode toward Lu Chuan and laughed. "Come, follow me inside. Master is already waiting for you..."
"Master?"
Lu Chuan froze, then immediately understood. He knew that the person Ning Yang meant was probably He Mingkong. He just had not expected Ning Yang to be He Mingkong's disciple. No wonder Ning Yang had kept recommending Kunlun Martial Arts School to him before. So he had been drumming up business for his master.
"Brother Ning, why were you waiting for me here?"
Lu Chuan smiled and nodded at Ning Yang.
"Master specially asked me to wait for you here." Ning Yang chuckled. "Master told me that you would come to sign the contract today, so he told me to wait here.
Once you arrived, I was to bring you directly to see him."
As he spoke, Ning Yang gave Lu Chuan a somewhat complicated look.
He was very curious about what exactly had happened between Lu Chuan and his master, He Mingkong. Ever since He Mingkong returned to the martial arts school yesterday, Ning Yang could clearly sense that He Mingkong's attitude toward Lu Chuan had changed completely.
He Mingkong had clearly said before that there was no rush to sign Lu Chuan, yet the moment he returned to the martial arts school, his attitude changed drastically.
Not only did he say he would sign Lu Chuan today, he had even raised the terms.
They were a whole tier better than the terms Ning Yang had offered Lu Chuan yesterday.
As He Mingkong's True Disciple, Ning Yang himself probably did not receive benefits as good as Lu Chuan's current ones. He Mingkong clearly intended to nurture Lu Chuan as a Personal Disciple, perhaps even as his final closed-door disciple.
Many thoughts flashed through Ning Yang's mind, but he was no fool. Naturally, he would not ask Lu Chuan about such matters, nor would he let any expression show on his face.
He chatted with Lu Chuan along the way, drawing their relationship closer.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the courtyard where He Mingkong lived.
At that moment, He Mingkong was fishing in the pond behind his courtyard. When he saw Ning Yang bring Lu Chuan over, he lifted his eyelids and said, "You're here..."
Without waiting for Lu Chuan to speak, he casually tossed him a Communication Watch. "This is the latest model of Communication Watch. It can connect directly to the Virtual Network, and it also comes with an automatic recording function.
Even if you venture deep into the Wilderness, it will still have a signal, unless you enter certain special places that block signals.
You cannot buy it on the market right now. Once you turn it on, you can register it as your own through iris recognition.
If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask Ning Yang.
Oh... right. I've already sent your contract to you through the Virtual Network. Just follow the prompts and sign it later.
Once you sign the contract, you will receive Kunlun Martial Arts School's High-grade Skin Refining Method, as well as a high-grade Martial Skill."
"The latest model of Communication Watch!"
Lu Chuan's gaze sharpened as he instinctively asked, "Senior, this can't be bought on the market. The great Lineages in the city should be able to get one, right?"
"Heh heh..."
Before He Mingkong could speak, Ning Yang suddenly laughed. "Lu Chuan, you really underestimate Master.
Apart from Kunlun Martial Arts School, the only people in all of Fengle City who can get this Communication Watch are probably certain special figures from the authorities.
As for those Great Factions in the Inner City, ninety-nine percent of them could never possess this latest model of Communication Watch.
Not only do their Communication Watches have poor signals, they also face many restrictions in the Wilderness.
Most importantly, after entering the Virtual Network, there are many things they do not have permission to view.
I can't explain all of this to you clearly in such a short time. You'll gradually understand in the future..."
"So that was it!"
Lu Chuan nodded slightly, though countless thoughts flashed through his mind. He thought of Chen Qingfeng from the Chen Family. That man's Communication Watch was probably only an ordinary model sold on the market.
Once he entered the Wilderness Area, it would likely face many restrictions, perhaps even lose signal altogether.
That was why the Chen Family had no idea who had killed him.
With that thought, Lu Chuan did not waste any words. He activated the Communication Watch, followed its prompts to register it as his own, and logged into the Virtual Network.
It was his first time using such a thing. To be honest, Lu Chuan felt somewhat excited.
A flash of light appeared before his eyes, and a light screen immediately emerged, transforming into a System Panel before him.
