Lu Zhu seemed to have thought of something and quickly realized what was happening. Her face flushed slightly as she politely asked, "Sister...is my eldest brother up yet?"
Xiang Sheng frowned immediately, "What nonsense are you talking about? Come in quickly, we'll be on the road after breakfast."
When Lu Zhu heard the same voice, his eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "You...you are Brother Shen?!"
Xiang Sheng's gaze was slightly cold. Lu Zhu felt the same warning and subconsciously shrank his neck. Then he became even more shocked. He followed him into the house and asked, "Are you really Brother Shen? Ah, bah, Sister Shen, are you a female cultivator?"
"So what if she's a female cultivator?"
Xiang Sheng's expression was calm, with a slight raise of his eyebrows. "Why? Do you look down on female cultivators?"
“No, no, no…”
Lu Zhu came in and put down the breakfast, waving his hands repeatedly, saying, "I'm just so surprised. I always thought you were naturally sharp-tongued. And, sister, your behavior is really unlike... the female cultivators I've met."
"oh?"
Xiang Sheng sat down and asked casually while eating breakfast, "What were the female cultivators you have seen like?"
Lu Zhu's mind flashed through the images of the concubines kept by the various elders in the royal family. He shuddered and, guiltily stuffing his breakfast into his mouth, mumbled, "Nothing, nothing. I just think you, sister, are better than those female cultivators!"
If he really spoke about the female favorite, wouldn't he be implying that Sister Shen was like a female favorite?
If that happens, you will definitely get beaten, right?
Xiang Sheng glanced at Lu Zhu oddly, not bothering to ask any more questions. "Eat quickly."
"Uh-huh!"
Seeing that Xiang Sheng stopped asking questions, Lu Zhu felt relieved and drank even faster.
After a while, the two men rested and left with the dry food prepared by the inn.
After leaving the inn, Xiang Sheng did not rush to leave the city. He looked around and came to a trading business. Under Lu Zhu's confused gaze, he bought a whole caravan of goods and hired a team of bodyguards at a high price. Only then did he go to Lu State through the pipeline in a dignified manner.
Sitting in the carriage, the confusion on Lu Zhu's face completely turned into admiration, "Sister, I understand."
Xiang Sheng nodded slightly, "I'm glad you understand."
"But……"
Lu Zhu changed the subject and asked, "Sister, you haven't told me what we are going to do in the Xiuzhen Market."
Xiang Sheng looked puzzled, "Don't you understand?"
Lu Zhu scratched his head awkwardly. "I knew you hired a convoy to go through the pipeline to avoid the independent cultivators and conceal your presence."
"The same principle applies to going to the Cultivation Market."
Remind Xiang Sheng to close his eyes and rest, and say no more.
Lu Zhu seemed to understand but not quite, with a look of distress on his face. Could it be that he was really stupid? Why did he still not understand even after Sister Shen reminded him?
Before I knew it, three days had passed.
Xiang Sheng had not expected that the escort leader he picked up casually looked honest, but was actually very decisive when it came to fighting.
They encountered several groups of bandits on the way, but the leader of the escort team sent them away himself. There was no need for Xiang Sheng to secretly help, and the caravan arrived safely at a capital city of the Lu State.
After paying the balance and parting ways with the escort team, Xiang Sheng went into the city and sold the entire fleet. He then entered a clothing store, put on a black robe commonly worn by casual cultivators, and disappeared into the dense crowd on the street.
"Sister, the market is in this Mingyun Tower."
Lu Zhu stopped in front of a luxurious restaurant and said in a low voice, "It's just that independent cultivators are cautious and have their own circles. Although I know the market is here, I don't have their token of entry."
Xiang Sheng nodded slightly, "Let's talk about it after we go in."
"My two guests, please come in!"
As soon as they entered the store, the waiter warmly greeted them to sit down and said, "My dear guests, what would you like?"
"Your restaurant's signature dish, just order it if you see it."
Xiang Sheng took out some silver and placed it on the table, then calmly took out a jade pendant and placed it on the silver.
When the waiter saw the jade pendant, he immediately understood what she meant and said with a smile on his face, "So you are a distinguished guest. I will arrange a private room for you right away. Please follow me."
"Thank you."
He nodded politely to Xiang Sheng and followed him.
Lu Zhu looked at the two people walking past him with a confused look on his face, full of questions.
Between him and his sister, who is the real Lu person?
Seeing that the two were about to walk away, he hurriedly caught up with them and couldn't help but ask in a voice transmission: "Sister, where did you get the token?"
Xiang Sheng didn't say anything, but just shook the storage ring on his hand.
Lu Zhu recognized it at a glance; it was Commander Wang's storage ring.
Yes!
Commander Wang was a casual cultivator and had been in Lu State for many years. How could he not have a token from Lu State's cultivation market? Why hadn't he thought of this?
Lu Zhu hit his head hard, feeling extremely angry.
Lu Zhu, Lu Zhu, did a dog eat your brain? Where did all your former intelligence go?
"My two guests, we have arrived."
The waiter stopped and went to turn the mechanism.
When Xiang Sheng turned around, he saw Lu Zhu hitting his head with a strange look in his eyes.
What is this kid doing stupidly again?
Click, click, click——
At this time, the sounds of mechanisms turning were heard one after another, and a corridor door appeared on the wall of the private room.
"My two immortals, I am a mortal and cannot enter. I can only escort you here. You just need to walk straight ahead along the corridor. When you reach the exit, you will reach Mingyun Market."
After the waiter finished speaking, he bowed and left.
Xiang Sheng pulled Lu Zhu into the gate without saying a word.
The corridor was winding and long, and was brightly lit. The two walked quickly for half an hour and finally passed through the exit and came to a busy street. Their ears were instantly filled with noisy sounds.
