Chapter 90: Chapter 87 King Ming_1
The remaining Martial Marquis of the Liu Family hardly dared to breathe.
After a while, one of the Martial Marquis carefully asked, "Ancestor, what should we do now?"
"Investigate, keep investigating. I want to know the whereabouts of Lu Yan. When you find him, do not act rashly, first report to me. If he thinks he can manipulate me, I will control his life in my hands."
The Ancestor of Liu Family commanded.
The killing intent grew stronger within him, but it gradually subsided.
He was very clear in his mind that he had indeed been manipulated by a child.
He was worried that Lu Yan had secretly laid many pieces on the board. If he was killed, these pieces would expose his status as a Martial Spirit Practitioner.
Martial Spirit, this is the taboo of the Da Chu Dynasty.
In the early days of the establishment of the Da Chu Dynasty, all laws for communicating with Martial Spirits were burnt to ashes, and an order was issued that anyone found communicating with Martial Spirits should be killed immediately, along with their nine generations.
Although the Da Chu Dynasty now only exists in name, and its orders only cover some provinces centered on ShenZhou.
Local feudal lords fight each other, feudal princes compete for power, no one cares about the orders of the Da Chu Dynasty.
But in the six counties of Lingdong, the matter of Martial Spirit is still a taboo.
After all, the one who occupies three provinces is King Ming.
Xuan Zhou, where the six counties of Lingdong are located, is one of the three provinces ruled by King Ming.
King Ming, is the legitimate royal blood of the Da Chu Dynasty, one of the three most famous kings in the world today.
Although King Ming had long stopped listening to the orders of the Da Chu Dynasty, and established his territory as an independent country, becoming one of the strongest feudal princes in the world, he still strictly adheres to some of the traditional beliefs of the Da Chu Dynasty.
Among them, included the fact about Martial Spirit.
Even if someone proclaimed him as a Martial Spirit, he could deny it.
But it’s hard to guarantee that King Ming won’t send someone to investigate.
King Ming abhorred Martial Spirits to the core, he would kill any suspected Martial Spirit Practitioner.
Once someone came to investigate, he would definitely be exposed.
He didn’t dare to gamble.
He was a Master of Inner Strength, how could he not treasure his life?
"Yes."
The Martial Marquises obeyed the order.
...
After marching for three days and nights, they finally arrived at Baicao City.
They entered in batches and then stayed in a hotel.
Then Lu Yan, Wang Lin, Zhang Jun and others began to scout out houses, finally each buying one.
The city of Baicao is a large city and the house prices are naturally higher. Houses of the same area as in Changfeng City cost about 50% more.
But Lu Yan was not short of money, and Wang Lin and Zhang Jun had some savings after years of being in the Red-clad Guard, so buying houses was not a problem.
Quickly, they decided on the houses.
Lu Yan bought a house twice as large as the one in Changfeng City that was fully equipped, costing 1200 taels of silver.
The main reason was that he needed a practice room, and Shen Yinuo needed a large room to prepare Martial Food in the future, a small one wouldn’t do.
A few days later, they moved into their new homes and settled down.
What was different this time was that there was an extra person in the house, Shen Yinuo.
So these days, Wang Cui’s smile never disappeared.
From time to time, she looked at Shen Yinuo with a more and more satisfied expression.
In these days, she had seen everything about Shen Yinuo and Lu Yan being inseparable.
In the evening, Wang Cui prepared a table full of delicious food.
The four of them sat around the table.
"Yinuo, come, eat more. You look a bit thin, eat more meat to nourish yourself."
Wang Cui kept serving Shen Yinuo, her bowl was so full of food that you could hardly see the rice underneath.
Lu Yan was silent. In earlier times, he was always the one who received such attention, but now he was completely ignored.
"Thank you, Auntie, Uncle and Auntie, you enjoy the food as well. Hmm, Auntie, your cooking is really delicious..."
Shen Yinuo was sweet-mouthed and ate fast, quickly finishing off a bowl of rice and food.
Wang Cui’s eyes were so squinted from laughing.
"If it’s delicious, eat more. In the future, I will cook delicious food for you every day."
"Okay, Auntie."
"Yinuo, if Yan bullies you in the future, you must tell me. I’ll teach him a lesson for you."
"Okay, Auntie."
Lu Yan: "..."
...
The next morning, Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo went to the Baicao Commerce Association.
They needed to prepare for the Martial Food they would be cooking later.
Cooking Martial Food requires many tools, such as various Martial Chef tools, different types of Martial Food seasonings, etc.
Lu Yan did not go out in his original appearance. Instead, he disguised himself as a strong man in his thirties.
He was still not safe from the Liu Family. What if a Martial Marquis came after him? It’s better to be cautious until the situation becomes clear.
He also instructed Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui to not leave the house as much as possible during this time.
Baicao City, as expected, is a large city. The Martial Chef tools, which were not easy to buy in Changfeng City, were available here. However, the prices were quite high. A full set amounted to five thousand taels of silver.
Lu Yan only bit the bullet and bought it.
After all, Shen Yinuo would be helping him cook the Martial Food in the future.
In addition, they bought a bunch of different alien beast meats. Shen Yinuo justified it as practicing her cooking skills with these alien beast meats first.
Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo personally took action, in two batches, to carry these Martial Chef tools back home.
He could have hired people to move it, but because of his big spending, he was afraid of getting targeted by ill-intentioned people. It’s better not to expose his address. He was not afraid, but he worried about involving the two elders.
When they got back, the initial setup of Yinuo’s Martial Chef Room was done.
Then the two of them went to the market again.
Without any ulterior motives, Lu Yan mainly wanted to see if he could find any Dao Food.
Unfortunately, after a round of browsing and constantly communicating with the Dao Book, he still obtained nothing.
There were no ancient ruins around the city of Baicao, it seemed that it would indeed be difficult to find Dao Food.
"That Martial idiot, he’s set up another challenge platform."
