This is Lu Li's second time visiting Luoyang.
The first time I came here, it was to find out the secret of the Qin Dynasty's downfall. I broke into the palace at night and met Wang Yue, but unfortunately, I didn't find out the secret of that year.
He went around in circles and eventually turned to Confucianism.
Lu Li was quite certain that Xun Shuang had recognized him, but for some reason, the old fox just wouldn't admit it.
Even with Lu Li's repeated probing, he was unwilling to admit it, but Lu Li understood Xun Shuang's meaning and gained a better understanding of the Confucianism of today.
At least Xun Shuang, as a great Confucian scholar of his time, prayed for peace and tranquility throughout the world, a sentiment that coincided with Lu Li's.
The Confucianism of today is truly incomparable to the Confucianism of the Qin Dynasty.
A clear boundary has formed between the two.
"Master, where are we going?" Dian Wei asked, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings. This was the first time he had come here with Lu Li.
Lu Li smiled and said, "A brothel!"
"Ah? Master, how could you go to such a place! Don't lead your disciple astray!" Dian Wei's expression changed immediately upon hearing Lu Li's words.
During this time, he followed Lu Li, who taught him many things and helped him learn a great deal.
He may look simple and honest, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand matters between men and women.
"Haha, don't worry, I'm not going out to drink and carouse!" Lu Li said with a laugh.
"That's good, that's good!" Dian Wei breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't going to be a brothel, he didn't care about anything else.
Let's go!
Lu Li and Dian Wei walked side by side down the street, neither of them making any effort to conceal their appearance, which attracted the attention of many passersby.
One man possessed an extraordinary air of elegance and handsome charm; the other had a rugged appearance and was exceptionally fierce. The two walked together without any sense of incongruity, after all, what young master these days didn't have a bodyguard by his side?
Lu Li paid no attention to the gazes directed at him, but instead looked with great interest at the scenery on both sides of the street.
Dian Wei stayed close to Lu Li, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.
Suddenly Lu Li stopped in his tracks, and Dian Wei almost bumped into him.
"Master, what's wrong?" Dian Wei asked.
Lu Li said softly, "Shh~ Don't talk, listen."
Dian Wei frowned and listened intently, only to find that apart from the occasional hawking and shouting, there seemed to be nothing else around.
He looked at Lu Li with a puzzled expression, and Lu Li smiled mysteriously.
"Come with me!" Lu Li pulled Dian Wei forward, passing through several alleys, and Lu Li stopped in front of a house.
"Master, where...where is this?" Dian Wei was stunned by the scene before him. The mansion was extremely large, even larger than any mansion he had ever seen before. The plaque above the gate read "Cai Mansion".
"It seems the music came from here." Lu Li's eyes were somewhat vacant, and he unconsciously walked towards the entrance of the mansion.
However, they were stopped by the guards at the gate. "Halt! What are you doing? Unauthorized personnel are not allowed near the Cai residence!"
Lu Li snapped out of his daze and said with a smile, "My surname is Lu. I am here specifically to see Mr. Cai. Please inform him!"
The guard looked at him suspiciously. "Do you think you can just see Mr. Cai like that? Get out of here!" With that, he shoved Lu Li aside. "Don't get in the way!"
Dian Wei immediately flew into a rage, "You bastard, you dare to lay a hand on me! Believe me or not, I'll twist your head off!"
Dian Wei was already short-tempered, and when he saw that the other party dared to push Lu Li, he couldn't hold back any longer.
"Oh ho, you want to fight?" the guard sneered. "What do you think this place is? It's not your place to run wild!"
He raised his leg to kick Dian Wei, but Dian Wei countered with a powerful shoulder strike, sending the guard flying.
"Ouch! That hurts like hell!" The guard collapsed to the ground, howling in agony.
Lu Li quickly helped the guard up and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
The guard shook his head, pointed at Dian Wei, and said, "Brothers, give him a good beating!"
"Hmph!" Dian Wei snorted coldly and strode forward.
"Help! Help!" the guard shouted.
But it was no use. All the guards behind him had already run away, and no one paid any attention to his shout.
Are you kidding me? To take him down in one move, that's definitely a martial artist. How could they possibly mess with him?
"What...what do you want to do?" The guard's eyes were filled with panic, like a lamb to the slaughter.
Dian Wei didn't say a word, grabbed his collar and dragged him inside, then threw him to the ground with a thud. "If you dare to utter another word of nonsense, believe me, I'll tear your mouth apart?"
"No, no..." the guard said, trembling.
Lu Li shook his head with a wry smile. Tie Zhu was usually very friendly to people, but he would go berserk if he was disrespected.
"Young man, my name is Lu Li, and I am a teacher at Yingchuan Academy. I have come to pay my respects to Lord Cai. May I ask you to announce my arrival?" Lu Li said, bowing to the guard.
The guard hesitated for a moment. Although he did not know Lu Li's identity, he had heard of the great name of Yingchuan Academy.
"Please...please wait a moment, I'll go and report right away!" The guard didn't dare to delay and scrambled towards the inner courtyard.
A short while later, a woman dressed as a maid hurriedly entered.
"Are you Mr. Lu?" she asked politely.
Lu Li nodded and said, "Exactly!"
"Please come in, Mr. Lu," the maid said with a smile.
Lu Li nodded slightly and then followed her inside. However, what made Lu Li a little curious was that this maid seemed to know him.
