Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Three Techniques
Two days later.
Early in the morning...
In Baiyun Alley, two outer sect disciples from the Blood Saber Sect led several servants into Cai Ze’s ho.
They ca to take inventory of everything in Cai Ze’s house, then divide and store it.
After more than an hour, the house was locked, and the inventoried belongings were packed into boxes and loaded onto the ox cart outside the door.
Zuo Xiuxiu and Huang Ya were also taken, placed together with these goods.
The two won huddled together, feigning calmness as they looked around, but their pupils were filled with tension and fear.
The house would welco new outer sect disciples or other prospective residents holding a silver token.
As for the two maids, Zuo Xiuxiu and Huang Ya, they would be taken back to the Blood Saber Sect, settled for a few days, and if no disciples purchased them, they might be used as rewards or sold into the brothels for so silver taels.
Zuo Xiuxiu, although Cai Ze’s wife, knew no one would believe her even if she said it.
At this mont, she could only hope that the young man would keep his word and co to buy her.
But if that young man didn’t co, she had no choice.
If the young man bought her but intended to use her as a bed-warming maid, or even a tool, she also had no choice...
...
Knock, knock, knock.
"Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Li!"
Knocking and shouting sounded outside the door of Li Yuan’s house.
Li Yuan opened the door and saw a thin young man with his hair tied back, dressed in a profound robe, it was Yu Mao.
"Brother Yu." Li Yuan greeted with a smile.
Yu Mao also smiled and said, "Senior Brother Li, the matter you asked
to keep an eye on has news. This morning, the two maids from Cai Ze’s house were taken in by the sect. According to the sect’s rules, disciples can purchase them with money."
Li Yuan said, "This kind of thing? Everyone is no exception?"
Yu Mao said, "Not everyone. If a disciple dismisses the maids in advance, then they won’t be taken in by the sect. Didn’t Cai Ze die by misfortune? Of course, he had no ti to handle it."
Li Yuan nodded and suddenly said, "Brother Yu, could you do
a favor?"
"Please say, Senior Brother. We have a connection. I delivered your uniform last ti. What’s another errand now?" Yu Mao winked and said with a smile, "Did Senior Brother fancy those two maids from Cai Ze’s house?"
Li Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Not fancy, just helping Brother Cai with the aftermath. He wouldn’t want to see his maids end up in soone else’s household from the afterlife’s perspective..."
As he spoke, he directly took out six ingots of silver yuanbao, ten taels each, and handed them to Yu Mao, "Please do
a favor and buy them quickly."
Yu Mao imdiately understood his aning, widened his eyes, then nodded with admiration, "Didn’t expect Senior Brother Li to be such a righteous person."
He then chuckled in realization, "Of course, Senior Brother Li has a wife... Other senior brothers, huh, even I, after entering the ranks, who wants to acknowledge a wife?
Those who originally had a wife also act like they don’t; those without are even less inclined to marry. People like Senior Brother Li... truly rare.
Senior Brother Li is righteous to his wife, and to his brothers. Cai Ze didn’t choose the wrong friend in you."
He took the silver and said, "Wait for , Senior Brother. I’m familiar with the purchasing process. I’ll go buy the two maids from Cai Ze’s house and hand them over to you personally."
Li Yuan smiled, "Then thank you, Brother Yu."
"No problem."
...
...
After Yu Mao left, Li Yuan stretched his limbs in the sunlight in the courtyard.
Yesterday, the side effects of the Shadow Blood fusion were completely gone.
It’s ti to continue cultivation.
He had a bow for long range, but a longbow is more suited for sniping rather than dealing with sudden situations, and would be quite passive if caught off guard or when enemies get close.
The remaining choices are "Spear Skill" and "Sword Skill."
Li Yuan set his eyes on "Spring and Autumn Saber Ninth Grade — Spring Thunder (1/10)."
This was his first skill with a na.
Other skills were all archery, beast taming, tracking, spear skill...
In comparison, a nad skill feels more substantial.
"Then let’s try sword skill first."
"Currently, I have 244 remaining points. It would take 240 points to max out archery.
This would certainly increase my strength cap, but the old problem remains, being too weak in handling sudden situations..."
"Then let’s add points to sword skill.
Anyway, at critical monts, I can still use blood fusion, though the safe ti fra is only three or four seconds, it should be enough."
Li Yuan pondered briefly, then called out, "Sister Yan, I’m going to the backyard to cultivate. Don’t let anyone in."
"Got it~" Yan Yu was also in the house, cultivating the Willow Return Technique, but hadn’t even touched the threshold yet.
Li Yuan went to the backyard, took the standard fine steel blade provided by the sect, and swung the blade a few tis with a "whoosh
