Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years

"Young Master, no!"

"That Willow Creek Village is dangerous. It's because of it that Young Master Yun'an had an accident."

"The Master also issued an order because of this, forbidding us from stepping into Willow Creek Village again."

Li San immediately became nervous and hurriedly tried to dissuade Lu Xuan, wanting him to give up this idea.

You should know that even his immediate superior, Li Mingzhong, the head of the Lu family's guards, a martial artist with Great Accomplishment in the Flesh Refining Realm, was deeply fearful of Willow Creek Village.

Not to mention him, he had only barely reached the Skin Refining Realm.

Although his young master had diligently practiced swordsmanship since childhood, he was still too young and didn't understand the dangers of the outside world.

Seeing that Lu Xuan was unmoved, Li San was still making a final struggle, earnestly trying to persuade him.

"Young Master, regarding Young Master Yun'an's matter, we can directly notify the county government and let the adults in the county government avenge Young Master Yun'an."

"Young Master is of noble birth and must not personally take risks."

Li San believed that the young master must be going to Willow Creek Village to investigate the truth and avenge Young Master Yun'an.

Willow Creek Village had become a nightmare in Li San's heart, and he would never go back there even if he was beaten to death.

If the young master insisted on going, then he might as well just leave the Lu family.

Then there would be a chance of survival!

"Humph!"

"These are not issues for you to consider. I have my own plans."

With a muffled sound, a gust of wind rose in the Lu family's hall, and endless pressure pressed down on Li San like a flood.

Li San suddenly felt an invisible oppressive force on his body, making it difficult for him to breathe and putting immense pressure on him. He sat down on the ground with a thud.

Then, this invisible pressure that made Li San so uncomfortable came and went quickly, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

It was as if everything that had just happened was like a reflection in a mirror or the moon in the water.

"Here are ten taels of silver. Take it, this is a reward for you."

Immediately afterward, a silver-white object was thrown from mid-air, landing accurately in Li San's arms.

After seeing the silver-white object clearly, Li San was overjoyed, quickly took it, and immediately stood up to give Lu Xuan a grand salute.

"Li San thanks you, Young Master!"

Ten taels of silver!

Li San's annual income was only three taels of silver, and this was more than three years' worth of his salary.

It was no wonder that Li San didn't even care about his image and looked ecstatic.

People die for wealth, and birds die for food.

Li San no longer had the intention of dissuading Lu Xuan, because Lu Xuan gave him too much.

So much that Li San couldn't refuse.

Of course, there was another reason. Li San felt that the cloth on his back was soaked with sweat.

He was shocked and thought that his young master was so terrifyingly powerful.

The young master's mere anger made him feel immense pressure, as if he were facing a prehistoric beast, as insignificant as an ant in front of him.

With the young master's strength and the ten taels of silver in hand, Li San gritted his teeth and mustered up courage from the depths of his heart.

Willow Creek Village is nothing to be afraid of.

"Alright, you can go back and prepare."

"Remember, only you and I know about going to Willow Creek Village."

"Even if the Master asks, you can't tell him. Just say I'm going on a long trip."

"Yes, Young Master, I'll go prepare the carriage."

Li San's attitude towards Lu Xuan became even more respectful than when he came.

Lu Xuan silently watched Li San's departing figure, without saying a word.

When he was talking to Li San just now, he had been carefully sensing Li San's every move.

All the actions, expressions, and even the sound of his heartbeat were the same as usual, without any abnormalities.

This also proved that Li San was telling the truth and didn't hide anything from him.

It's no wonder Lu Xuan was cautious, after all, those extraordinary and strange things were the problem Lu Xuan was about to face, so no amount of caution was too much.

Willow Creek Village!

I hope you don't disappoint me. This is the key to system points.

…………

Night fell, but only the Lu family's hall was still brightly lit with candles. Two people were sitting in the hall.

They were the Lu family's patriarch, Lu Jiahe, and Lu Xuan.

"What!"

"Xuan'er, are you going out of the county? Why so suddenly? Where are you going?"

Lu Jiahe looked at Lu Xuan with a worried face and an unusual expression.

"Father, there's no need to worry. Xuan'er has been diligently practicing martial arts for a long time and won't encounter any danger."

"Xuan'er will be back in a few days."

Seeing that Lu Xuan looked like he had already made up his mind, Lu Jiahe had no choice but to give up the idea of dissuading Lu Xuan.

Then, he spoke to Lu Xuan.

"Xuan'er, then take the Lu family's guards with you on this trip, just in case."

"In this world, there are many dangers outside the county. It's good to have more people to take care of you."

"No need, Father. It's enough for me to take Li San. I'm just going out to see the world and will be back soon."

"Alright then, Xuan'er, be careful in everything."

Lu Xuan had already said this, so Lu Jiahe couldn't say anything more.

Xuan'er had been steady and prudent since he was a child. Since he had said so, he must have thought it through carefully.

Thinking of this, Lu Jiahe no longer stopped Lu Xuan, but said the last sentence earnestly.

"Xuan'er, although you are strong in martial arts, people's hearts are sinister. You need to be careful in everything."

"Xuan'er understands."

………..

The next day!

The county gate was wide open, and the crowds coming and going were endless. The vendors on both sides of the street were also enthusiastically greeting the pedestrians on the road.

At this time, a very simple carriage, with a man sitting on each side of the carriage.

They were Li San and a simple and tall man.

The simple and honest man was also a servant of the Lu family, specializing in driving the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage was a young man, Lu Xuan.

At this time, the carriage was slowly moving along the bluestone road in the county.

The carriage slowly stopped when it reached the county gate.

There was a long queue of people waiting in front, all wanting to leave the county.

As time passed, it was soon Lu Xuan's carriage's turn. The coachman slowly drove the carriage and stopped in front of the soldiers guarding the city gate.

At this time, Li San was quick-witted and immediately took out a wooden token from his arms with the four characters "Lu Family Pharmacy" written on it.

Then he held the token with both hands, with a smile, and handed it to the city gate soldiers.

"Officer, this is the Lu Family Pharmacy's carriage. Inside is the young owner of the Lu Family Pharmacy. Please take a look."

"Young owner of the Lu Family Pharmacy?"

The soldiers guarding the city gate immediately became serious after hearing Li San's words, and also stretched out their hands to take the token from Li San's hand.

He certainly knew about the Lu Family Pharmacy.

The largest pharmacy in the county, and the Lu family's old man was the most prestigious and best doctor in the county.

Even he had been treated by the Lu family's old man.

However, he really didn't have much of an impression of this young owner of the Lu Family Pharmacy.
