From here, it was quite a distance to the Lu Family’s large compound in the Eastern District.
The two of them walked quite fast, and it took almost half an hour.
The Lu Family’s compound covered nearly two thousand square meters.
Compared to the living quarters at Qingzhu Valley, it was naturally much smaller.
But in the Nine Dragons Market, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, this courtyard was already considered large.
Lu Changsheng curiously inquired about how many Spirit Stones such a large compound would cost from Lu Miaoge.
Lu Miaoge was not sure about the exact price.
She only said that such large compounds usually started with a lease term of three to five years.
As for the price, it varied from several dozen to a hundred Spirit Stones a year.
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but click his tongue in wonder.
Just the annual rent would cost dozens to hundreds of Spirit Stones; for buying, wouldn’t it require several thousand Spirit Stones?
Indeed, no matter where you were, buying a house was never easy.
Upon arriving at the compound, Lu Miaoge asked the house steward if the Second Elder was home.
Now that she brought Lu Changsheng over, it was natural to meet this Second Elder of the Lu Family.
The steward indicated that the Second Elder was resting in the back courtyard, and led the two to meet the Second Elder.
Shortly after, Lu Changsheng saw the Second Elder of the Lu Family.
He had white hair but his complexion was very rosy and lustrous, as if he was a baby.
A tall figure dressed in a green robe, he leaned on a jade bamboo cane, exuding an imposing aura without being angry.
This Second Elder was in charge of the Lu Family business, often abroad; this was the first time Lu Changsheng had met him.
“Second Elder!”
“Great-uncle!”
Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge bowed to the Second Elder in unison.
The Second Elder nodded, stood up to look at Lu Changsheng, and with a slight smile said, “So you are Changsheng, at such a young age you have already become a Middle Grade Talisman Master, very good.”
“From now on, in the Nine Dragons Market, if you need anything, you can come directly to me,” he said.
The Second Elder’s generous palm patted Lu Changsheng on the shoulder as he spoke.
“Yes, Second Elder,” replied Lu Changsheng, bowing respectfully.
Afterward, the Second Elder had the steward arrange a room for Lu Changsheng.
He also mentioned that there would be a banquet in the evening to welcome and cleanse him from his travels, to let him get acquainted with the other Lu Family Disciples and to encourage him to interact more in the future.
Lu Changsheng naturally responded respectfully to these words.
He knew that as he was now integrating into the Lu Family, such social interactions and affairs of human relationship were hard to avoid.
Soon after, the steward arranged a small courtyard for him.
The courtyard was not big, only a little over a hundred square meters, even smaller than the one he had at Qingzhu Villa.
It had simple Formation effects for sound insulation and gathering Spiritual Energy, the Spiritual Energy was not as good as in Qingzhu Valley, but it was much better than Qingzhu Mountain.
At night, a servant came to inform Lu Changsheng about the banquet.
Lu Changsheng nodded and proceeded to the hall.
“Hmm?”
As soon as Lu Changsheng arrived at the hall, he saw not only the Second Elder and Lu Miaoge, but also two managers of the Lu Family of the same generation as Lu Yuanding and five Lu Family Disciples.
However, his gaze immediately fell on an incredibly beautiful woman standing next to Lu Miaoge.
The woman wore a white crane-embroidered long dress that clung tightly, perfectly outlining her curvaceous silhouette through the fabric, leaving nothing of her graceful figure to the imagination.
But beneath the slits of the tailored hem, one could see her long, straight legs sheathed in thin, white silk stockings, which rendered her already fair and smooth legs with an added touch of a high-class, sanctified allure.
Her delicate feet wrapped in white silk stockings stepped into a pair of flowing-cloud-patterned silver high heels, accentuating her graceful and tall figure even more vividly.
This woman was none other than the second young miss Lu Miaohuan, who had been on a blind date with Lu Changsheng once before.
Lu Changsheng had not expected this second young miss to also be in the Nine Dragons Market.
And this second young miss had even switched from black to white stockings.
It had to be said, the second young miss had a really good figure.
Especially those legs, perfectly proportioned, a bit more would be too plump, a bit less would be too skinny, straight and rounded.
Whether in black or white stockings, they presented an astoundingly enticing appearance on her.
“Hmph!”
Lu Miaohuan too noticed Lu Changsheng, and seeing his gaze linger on her, promptly gave a cold snort, turning her head to look elsewhere.
Lu Changsheng just smiled and pretended not to notice.
He was aware that the second young miss still held a grudge.
That was normal.
It had only been half a year since their blind date, and he had rejected the second young miss, marrying Lu Miaoyun instead. With the proud temperament of the second young miss, how could she easily forget and not hold a grudge?
If it wasn’t for the Second Elder hosting a welcoming banquet, the second young miss probably wouldn’t even want to see him, much less show a pleasant expression.
However, seeing Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan, the sisters similar in appearance and figure, standing side by side made Lu Changsheng’s mind wander, thinking what the eldest miss might look if she dressed alike.
Or perhaps, the two sisters, one in white, the other in black…
Lu Changsheng dared not entertain the thought any further, immediately suppressing the wild horse of his mind.
It was far too exciting, not to be pondered further.
If Family Head Lu Yuanding knew he was entertaining thoughts about his two daughters, he might just cleave him with a sword.
“Second Elder,” he greeted as he bowed to the Second Elder.
“Changsheng, let me introduce you to…”
The Second Elder naturally saw Lu Miaohuan’s small gesture but said nothing.
He was aware of the small history between Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaohuan.
It was precisely this incident that made Lu Yuanding see his daughter restless at home, hence he allowed her to come to Nine Dragons Market to find something to do, and also to take her mind off things.
Thereupon, under the introduction of the Second Elder, Lu Changsheng got acquainted with the two managers of the Lu Family, and also with the other four Lu Family Disciples.
These individuals, capable of handling affairs in the Nine Dragons Market, held not low positions within the Lu Family, belonging to the future upper echelon.
