Lingjiu took Meng Wan and Li Yuanyuan into the weapons cabinet and pointed at the weapons on the shelves and introduced them.
"These are all from Miss Six's private collection. Every weapon that can be displayed here is a top-grade magical weapon and is worth a fortune."
Li Yuanyuan's attention was attracted by a snow-white long sword. The sword body exuded a faint chill, and a crystal clear blue gem was inlaid on the hilt.
Top-grade magic weapons are rare in the Canglan Realm and only Nascent Soul cultivators have them.
As a result, Miss Six's armory was filled with weapons in an entire warehouse.
This Sixth Miss is just a illegitimate daughter of the Wu family branch.
At this moment, Li Yuanyuan had a clearer understanding of the strength of the Wu family.
Meng Wan's eyes fell on a black dagger in the corner.
The dagger looked inconspicuous, even a little rough, but it caused her blood and qi to become agitated.
Lingjiu noticed Meng Wan's gaze and explained, "That dagger is called 'Netherworld'. It is a magical weapon. It is powerful, but also very dangerous to use.
Don’t touch it unless necessary.”
Meng Wan withdrew her gaze and no longer looked at the dagger.
After taking the two of them around the weapons pavilion, Lingjiu said to them.
"From today on, you will be responsible for the daily maintenance of the Weapon Pavilion, ensuring that it is always in top condition."
Meng Wan and Li Yuanyuan received the order and started their work in the Weapon Pavilion.
A few days later, in the meeting room of the Wu family mansion.
Butler Wu was looking at the photo stones in front of him, which clearly recorded the performance of the lower world sequencers in various places in the Wu family.
Consul Tang stood respectfully aside, reporting the situation.
"Besides Meng Wan and Li Yuanyuan who entered the Sixth Young Lady's Weaponry Pavilion, and Zhou Tong who entered the Fifth Young Master's Guard, there are two others who have won the favor of other Young Masters and Young Ladies.
The rest were not able to enter the courtyards of the young masters and young ladies, and some even suffered varying degrees of punishment for messing up their tasks."
Consul Tang glanced at Manager Wu's expression and continued.
"Master Steward, there is one more thing I need to report to you."
After a pause, Consul Tang said cautiously, "There's a girl named Yuxiang. Because of her beautiful appearance, gentle personality and sensible personality, she was favored by the Ninth Young Master..."
Butler Wu frowned slightly, "Yuxiang? She wasn't assigned to the Ninth Young Master's courtyard, was she?"
"Yes, but the Ninth Young Master happened to pass by the servants' courtyard and took a fancy to Yuxiang, so he asked the Eighth Young Lady for her."
Consul Tang coughed dryly and said helplessly, "And Miss Seven has also taken a fancy to a sword cultivator named Yue Shu. He's been very popular these days."
Butler Wu frowned. The Seventh Miss and the Ninth Young Master were in the middle and late stages of the Nascent Soul respectively.
His talent for cultivation is just average among the younger generation of the Wu family, but he has no ambition to make progress and is obsessed with pleasure all day long.
Now, they have even extended their hands to the slaves carefully selected from the underworld. How ridiculous!
"Don't worry about Yuxiang and Yueshu. Revoke their qualifications to become sergeants."
Butler Wu's tone was cold and full of unquestionable majesty.
"Yes." Consul Tang bowed and replied, with a layer of fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
At the same time, in the Sixth Miss's weapons room.
"Junior Sister Meng, have you heard about Yuxiang and Yue Shu?"
Li Yuanyuan suddenly spoke, with a hint of mystery in her tone.
“I’ve heard a little bit about it.”
When Meng Wan had nothing to do, she would let the Heart-Eating Bug eavesdrop on the thoughts of the servants in the courtyard, and she heard a lot of interesting things.
"They are so lucky. They were noticed by the young master and young lady and became successful."
Li Yuanyuan sighed.
"That may not be the case."
Meng Wan shook her head slightly.
"not necessarily?"
Li Yuanyuan looked at Meng Wan in confusion, "Could it be that these young masters and young ladies would treat their partners badly?"
Meng Wan did not answer directly, but asked back.
"Senior Sister Li, do you think... Young Master Nine will marry Yu Xiang? Will Yue Shu marry Miss Seven as her husband?"
Li Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Meng Wan to ask such a question.
She thought carefully for a moment, shook her head, and said in a firm tone.
"This... this should be impossible. Young masters and young ladies are of such noble status, how could they really marry a slave?
But... they can finally escape slavery, right? At least they won't have to do these hard labors anymore."
There was a hint of hope in Li Yuanyuan's tone, wishing she could also escape from slavery.
Meng Wan smiled lightly. She did not directly refute Li Yuanyuan's fantasy, but asked back.
"Senior Sister Li, you are a person of status in the Canglan Realm. If you were to take a fancy to a male Foundation Establishment cultivator, would you stay with him and spend your life with him?"
Li Yuanyuan's face froze, and she instantly understood the meaning of Meng Wan's words.
She is a Jindan cultivator and will have a baby in the future.
How is it possible to stay together with a foundation-building cultivator forever?
Those low-level monks were just her temporary entertainment.
Li Yuanyuan sighed, "Junior sister is right, I think too much."
A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her tone was gentle, but with a hint of cold mockery.
“For those high and mighty, the fresh bodies of young men and women are nothing more than readily available goods.
How could the young masters and young ladies of the Wu family care about a mere servant?
All they want is a momentary pleasure, and once the novelty wears off, they'll discard it like a worn-out shoe."
"It's good that you figured it out, Senior Sister."
Meng Wan said no more, took a weapon and wiped it carefully.
If you don't want to stay in the Wu family as a slave for the rest of your life, the only way out is to enter Tiandaoyuan.
But with their status, even if they entered Tiandao Academy, they could only enter the lowest level lower house.
After leaving Tiandaoyuan, he was nothing more than a higher-level slave.
Meng Wan lowered her eyes to hide the cold light in them.
All paths leading to higher levels of cultivation are firmly held in the hands of the aristocratic families.
Want to practice? You can, but you must abide by the rules set by the aristocratic families.
Anyone who showed even the slightest sign of resistance would be uprooted and their entire clan would be exterminated.
Even if you are the reincarnation of a powerful being or the incarnation of an immortal, you still have to abide by the rules.
It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to break through the shackles of aristocratic families.
What's more, she was born a "house slave" of the Wu family?
This is a road that is destined to be difficult.
It's as ridiculous as an ant on the ground trying to kill a monk in the sky.
Meng Wan wiped the weapon in her hand clean and put it back where it belonged.
There is no point in thinking too far or too much.
The most urgent task is to do one's job conscientiously, become a senior sergeant in the assessment one year later, and obtain the qualification to enter Tiandao Academy.
The next few months were calm.
Until suddenly one day, all the weapons in the Weapon Pavilion went out of control, clanging like crazy, rushing out of the Weapon Pavilion and injuring many people.
