Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 434 Best Friend
The Wang family runs a pharmacy business and has passed down medical books through generations. Wang Rui, being in a privileged position, managed to reach the ninth rank by consuming supplements.

However, every medicine has its side effects.

He was so obese that he looked like an inflated balloon, and he couldn't lose weight no matter what he did; it was a side effect of the medication he took.

He Yongzhang's family were wealthy landlords who owned thousands of acres of land outside the city and employed many tenants and long-term laborers. In terms of wealth and resources, they were the most well-off of the three families.

young people.

It's inevitable that they'll be playful.

Only a minority are sensible from a young age and work hard to cultivate themselves.

Only by experiencing certain changes and starting a family can one understand some truths and put away one's playful nature.

Zhu Ju is currently playing the role of a prodigal son who "repents" after "encountering great misfortune".

However, one cannot truly sever ties with past 'friends,' as that would be too deliberate.

The three chatted and laughed as they arrived at a private room.

This spot faces the stage of Zuixiangju, where more than ten women, meticulously dressed and made up, are currently standing.

Their clothes were gorgeous.

His face, however, was full of panic.

They were clearly not women who had been in the pleasure quarters for a long time, and it was inevitable that they would feel uneasy as they made their first public appearance and were chosen by others.

Some of the wives and daughters who were originally from wealthy families are now in a state of utter despair.

"what?"

Wang Rui raised an eyebrow slightly:

"Isn't that the second sister of the Song family?"

"It's her!" He Yongzhang stepped forward, his brows furrowed.

"Wasn't she supposed to have been bought by Zhou Ping as a concubine? How come she's here?"

"Someone is coming."

"Go and ask what happened?"

Seeing Zhu Ju's blank expression, he began to explain:

"Sister Song is from out of town, but she is related to our family. She married into the Liu family a few years ago. Recently, the Liu family had a misfortune, and all the female members were sold off. Sister Song was bought by the Zhou family."

"Brother Zhu, you've been busy with your uncle's funeral these past few days, so you're not aware of the situation."

"I've heard about it too." Wang Rui nodded.
"It is said that Sister Song and Madam Zhou are from the same place and grew up together. They are close friends who can talk about anything. It was Madam Zhou who suggested that the Zhou family take her in as a member of the family."

"Now it seems……"

He shook his head slightly:
"That's not true!"

Song Erjie's real name was Song Min, and she was not much older than the other three.

This woman is beautiful and has a graceful figure. Even with tears streaming down her face, she looks even more pitiful as she stands on the stage.

"Master."

Not long after.

The servant who had been gathering information reported back:

"I've found out that the young master of the Zhou family had agreed on a price with Zuixiangju and had been staying in Sister Song's room for the past few days. However, when it came time to make the deal, he suddenly changed his mind and didn't show up, which led to Sister Song publicly putting her up for sale today."

"Ah!" Wang Rui was dumbfounded:
"Isn't this breaking your promise?"

"That guy surnamed Zhou slept with someone but refused to pay. I've seen shamelessness, but I've never seen anything as shameless as this."

"Young Master Wang," the servant replied.
"According to my inquiries, it's not that Young Master Zhou is unwilling to pay, but rather that his wife is firmly opposed."

"How could this be?" He Yongzhang asked.
"Madam Zhou and Sister Song are close friends. They both married into Taiyuan from the same place, and over the years..."

"Ugh!"

Before he could finish speaking, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Best friend,

They might not be reliable!
"I've also heard," the servant said in a low voice.
"That Madam Zhou is here today, saying she wants to see her good sister 'get married' with her own eyes, and she specifically instructed that no one should buy Sister Song. Anyone who dares to buy her is going against the Zhou family."

"Ah!" Wang Rui was dumbfounded:
"Really..."

"Women are the most vicious!"

The Zhou family was a large and powerful family, ranking among the top in Taiyuan Prefecture. Few people dared to offend the Zhou family.

Even if there is.

It's not worth it for a woman.

Best friends are not only unreliable, but they'll also kick you when you're in trouble, as if they're afraid you won't fall to the bottom.

Besides Sister Song, there was also the Li family's daughter, who had moved to Connecticut years ago, who was being sold today. Watching the Li family's daughter being photographed, Wang Rui kept chugging wine until he was completely drunk and collapsed.

"This guy used to have feelings for the Li family's daughter. He was young then, and I never thought he would still be obsessed with her now."

He Yongzhang sighed:
"You shouldn't have come today."

People come to Zuixiangju for fun; it's not uncommon to see women selling themselves here before.

Seeing a few familiar faces today inevitably evoked a sense of sadness, like the loss of a rabbit or the grievance of a fellow animal.

…………

We had planned to get together as a group of three, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment and we had to cancel halfway through.

Zhu Ju got into the carriage and called to the driver:
"Go home."

"Yes, Master."

The driver should lightly flick the whip:
"drive!"

Zhu Ju lowered the carriage curtain, and the feeling of being spied on disappeared.

Although he has lost all his cultivation, his soul remains, and he possesses the keen perception of a silkworm knowing the spring breeze before it even stirs.

Ever since leaving the Zhu residence, I've had this feeling of being spied on the whole way.

It is only normal in the private rooms of Zuixiangju or in the carriages, in a private environment where there are no outsiders.

Someone is watching!

'really! ’

'The original owner's death wasn't so simple. Is someone still not planning to let me go?'

'who is it? ’

Zhu Ju rested his chin on his hand, seemingly lost in thought.

"It seems that if I want to cultivate in peace, I still need to deal with the trouble at hand, but my current strength..."

"It's too weak after all!"

He flexed and extended his five fingers, feeling the power he now possessed.

Although it has not yet reached the ninth rank, its power is already comparable to that of a ninth-rank practitioner due to the continuous tempering of the Giant Spirit Fist.

This level of strength is insufficient to resolve the problem.

A martial arts arena.

The two graceful figures, like butterflies flitting among the flowers, danced and fluttered, their movements a beautiful sight.

"drink!"

Lu Qianqian let out a delicate shout and stomped the ground several times in an instant, leaving behind afterimages in her wake.

He appeared behind Shuang'er in a flash.

"caught you!"

She reached out, only to see Shuang'er's figure sway, like a gentle breeze or a wisp of white cloud, drifting away at a distance of about ten feet, leaving her with nothing.

"whee……"

Shuang'er giggled, her pretty face flushed:
"Didn't catch them!"

"The white clouds drift lazily, ethereal as immortals." Lu Qianqian stopped what she was doing, her expression turning solemn.
"You have never practiced martial arts and your physical body is weak, yet you are able to perform a graceful leap!"

"This talent..."

"It's so enviable!"

She herself had entered the martial arts world by cultivating the Cloud Step technique, so she knew very well how terrifying Shuang'er's talent was.

and.

Lu Qianqian felt that Shuang'er's talent was getting better every day, whether she was imagining it or not.

nowadays.

He actually relied entirely on his physical instincts to execute the superior footwork of the Cloud Step.

"Zhu Ju." Lu Qianqian turned around and asked seriously:

"You really don't intend to let Shuang'er be my junior sister? With her talent, keeping her by your side would be a waste."

"Guo Jie, the steward of the Green Robe Gang, came by yesterday." Zhu Ju, reclining on the soft chair, seemed not to have heard her question and replied unhurriedly:
"He also met Shuang'er and praised her, saying that since she wanted to become an apprentice, why not become an apprentice of a master from the Green Robe Gang?"

"Although seventh-rank masters are rare, the Green Robe Gang is not without them."

Lu Qianqian's expression changed.
