Chapter 5 Mantuo Manor
Yihonglou was the largest brothel in Suzhou. Those who could afford to patronize it were mostly high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants, and other prominent figures.
Inside a private room on the third floor, a handsome young man dressed in a blue robe was embracing two top courtesans, his face flushed and looking thoroughly enjoying himself. At the same time, he was holding his phone in his right hand and taking selfies continuously.
That night, the young man lay between two fair and delicate bodies, sorting through the information in his mind.
"I never imagined that my senior sister would be so hated in Suzhou. How many men must she have abducted to make the people of Suzhou turn pale at the mere mention of her name?"
The young man was Lu Ming. His purpose in coming to the brothel was not only to enjoy the unique features of an ancient brothel, but also to inquire about information about the Mantuo Manor.
Mantuo Villa is located within Taihu Lake and is home to the Wang family of Taihu Lake, the same family to which Li Qingluo found a "switch partner." Originally, the Wang family had an excellent reputation in the Taihu Lake area, but since Li Qingluo married into the family, that reputation has turned into a bad one.
Li Qingluo was raised by Li Qiushui and Ding Chunqiu, and had a ruthless personality. In addition, after being abandoned by Duan Zhengchun, she became extremely disgusted with men and often used men as fertilizer.
Upon learning this information, Lu Ming frowned deeply, clearly unable to accept it.
As modern people, although we may all be contemporary Jia Xu (a legendary figure known for his moral failings), our moral standards are definitely higher than those of people in this era. Especially for college students like Lu Ming, their moral standards are frighteningly high.
In this era, he could be considered a saint.
Therefore, he wished he could kill Li Qingluo with a single sword strike, but his master, Wuyazi, had instructed him to take care of the mother and daughter, and he did not want to break his promise.
Moreover, he was determined to obtain the martial arts manuals that Wuyazi had collected in the Langhuan Jade Cave. These manuals contained ninety percent of the world's external and internal martial arts skills, which would greatly enhance his foundation.
It might help him make up for his shortcomings or take a crucial step into the Innate Realm.
Although the Northern Darkness Divine Skill is powerful, it is not without its shortcomings. In fact, all martial arts of the Free and Unfettered Sect have this shortcoming: the Qi is too strong, which suppresses the essence and Qi. He did not know whether it would affect the spirit.
The "Eight Desolations and Six Directions, I Alone Am Supreme" technique is so powerful that one must drink blood to cultivate again when the technique is dissipated. This shows the suppression of essence by the martial arts of the Free and Unfettered Sect.
He will definitely combine the three powers in the future, at which time the suppression of qi will be even stronger.
He didn't want to have any weaknesses, so he wanted to raise his essence and spirit to the same level as his qi. After mastering the Northern Darkness Divine Art, he felt his spiritual power increasing, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
What he lacks now is physical training, but the Langhuan Cave has a lot of internal and external martial arts training methods, which are enough to make up for some of his shortcomings.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore! Time for bed! ...We'll talk about everything when I see this senior sister tomorrow!"
As he thought about it, Lu Ming became a little irritated. He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and slowly drifted off to sleep, embracing the two delicate bodies.
The next day, Lu Ming set off early for Taihu Lake. He had already scouted out the location of Mantuo Villa and knew that he only needed to rent a small boat to get there.
Having spent money to buy a small boat, Lu Ming unleashed his inner energy, and the boat shot off like an arrow, heading straight for Mantuo Manor. This caused the fishermen behind him to exclaim in surprise, saying that they had encountered a deity.
……
"Senior Sister Qingluo, Junior Brother Lu Ming has come to visit. Please allow us to meet and have a chat!"
Outside Mantuo Manor, Lu Ming ignored the old women and servants surrounding him. Under the Soul Searching Technique, his voice seemed to converge from all directions, resounding throughout the entire manor.
The surrounding women and servants were so shocked that their eardrums ached, and they all knelt down, screaming in pain.
Wang Yuyan, who was reading in the Langhuan Jade Cave, suddenly felt a powerful voice explode in her ears, startling her so much that her hand trembled and the One-Word Wisdom Sword in her hand fell to the ground. She quickly picked up the manual and looked at the entrance of the manor with curiosity in her eyes.
"Who is this person?! Such formidable internal energy! Why does she call me 'Senior Sister'?! Does she have a sect's lineage?!"
After putting the manual back in its place, Wang Yuyan walked gracefully towards the manor. When she arrived at the manor gate, she saw that her mother had already arrived and was questioning a young man.
"Who are you?! Why are you calling me Senior Sister? And where did you learn your telepathic soul-searching technique?!"
"Senior sister, do you still recognize this?!"
Lu Ming extended his right hand, revealing the Seven Treasures Ring on his ring finger. Li Qingluo frowned, feeling a sense of familiarity. She racked her brain, finally remembering seeing it in the Langhuan Paradise when she was a child.
"Who is Wuyazi to you?! Isn't he already dead?!"
Although she always called Ding Chunqiu "father", she knew that her biological father was Wu Yazi. However, after Wu Yazi fell off the cliff, she thought that her biological father had died. She never expected to receive news of Wu Yazi again.
"It seems Senior Sister still has her memories!" Lu Ming frowned and said, "My master is indeed Wu Yazi. But Senior Sister, isn't it a bit disrespectful of you to call your own father by his name so directly?"
"Stop talking nonsense! My business with him is none of your concern! ...And what are you doing at Mantuo Manor?!" Li Qingluo's face was ugly, and her voice involuntarily rose a few decibels.
Wang Yuyan, who was hiding in the shadows nearby and eavesdropping, couldn't help but cover her mouth. She didn't realize that she had a maternal grandfather and that she didn't have a good relationship with her mother.
Li Qingluo's shrill and piercing voice made Lu Ming involuntarily pick his ear. He understood Li Qingluo's thoughts and also felt sorry for Wu Yazi.
Even after being knocked off a cliff and paralyzed, Wu Yazi did not resent Li Qiushui. He only believed that Ding Chunqiu had seduced Li Qiushui. In the original work, he even asked Xuzhu to go to Li Qiushui to learn martial arts.
Before he died, he even asked him to bless the mother and daughter with a peaceful and smooth life, but in the end it was all just Wu Yazi's wishful thinking.
"Senior sister! Junior brother has come here mainly for three things!"
Lu Ming suppressed the urge to kill Li Qingluo and tried his best to keep his tone calm, but the suppressed anger in his voice was still palpable.
"Those three items?!"
"Firstly, Junior Brother came to retrieve the martial arts manuals collected by Master in the Langhuan Jade Cave. Since Senior Sister doesn't like practicing martial arts anyway, Junior Brother took them. Of course, if Senior Sister wants to keep them, she can have them all copied."
"Sure, those martial arts manuals were collected by him and his mother back then anyway, so it's good to return them to their rightful owner. I'll have someone hand over all the manuals to you later!"
Li Qingluo thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement. The main reason was that she was a little afraid of Lu Ming. From the soul-searching technique she had just used, she could tell that Lu Ming's martial arts were extremely high, and the old women she had raised were no match for him at all.
Besides, she has backups of those profound secret manuals in the Langhuan Jade Cave, so it wouldn't hurt to hand them over to Lu Ming.
