Chapter 267: Eldest Senior Brother’s People
Chapter 267 Eldest Senior Brother’s People
Since her master had already spoken, Zhao Yue did not voice her opinion . Zhao Yue was not overly interested in this trip to the Divine Capital . She was barely freed from the cold poison after all . She was more interested in cultivating more than anything else .
Little Yuan’er, on the other hand, was more eager to go out and play than cultivating . The Divine Capital was one of the busiest places in Great Yan after all . She had been wanting to visit the capital for a long time now . It was a pity, prior to this, that her master did not bring her here . Now that she had the chance to visit, how could she not feel delighted?
They kept a low profile . The three of them did not travel in the flying chariot . Moreover, it was damaged and needed repair .
When three of them entered the city, amazing architectures, organized streets, and the bustling crowd exceeded their expectations .
Even Lu Zhou was surprised . However, he had no interest in these things . He ordered, “Let’s
go . ”
Little Yuan’er had no choice but to calm her excitement and helplessly followed her master .
Zhao Yue, on the other hand, was obedient . She followed her master without complaints .
“Master, where are we going?” Little Yuan’er asked .
“The Prince of Qi Mansion . ” “The Prince of Qi Mansion?” Little Yuan’er confused .
Zhao Yue walked up to Little Yuan’er and whispered, “He’s an acquaintance of master . ”
“Hm? Master has a friend like this?”
Zhao Yue shushed her as she trembled in fear . She did not know if she should laugh or cry . ‘I should stay away from you . I’m not you, after all… I’m not as loved by master like you . ’ If she had said this, she would have been heavily punished .
The two of them stole a glance at their master . When they noticed that their master was not angered, they sighed in relief .
Lu Zhou continued walking as he stroked his beard and said, “Yuan’er . ”
Thud!
Little Yuan’er suddenly fell to her knees . She covered her ears with her hands and said, “Master… I’ve made a mistake! I won’t do it
again!”
The pedestrians started looking at them .
‘Why is she kneeling in the middle of the street?’
‘What a peculiar group!’
Lu Zhou turned around with a questioning expression on his face . ‘Why is this little girl kneeling all of a sudden?’ “Get up,” Lu Zhou said indifferently .
“I say, old mister… This isn’t right . Your granddaughter seems like a nice lass . Look at how cute she is . How can you treat her so coldly?”
“Yeah… This little girl immediately admitted her mistake and even kneeled on the ground . Compared to the ungrateful brat in my house, she’s an angel . ”
“Little girl, get up quickly . Your grandfather is old . His mind must be muddled as well . ”
Lu Zhou was speechless . “These passersby sure are creative and imaginative . ’
‘They’re such an annoying bunch . ’ Little Yuan’er suddenly rose to her feet in a huff . She stomped her foot on the ground .
Boom!

The ground cracked . The crowd immediately stepped back . They were so shocked that their mouths were agape .
‘What the… how contrary to her appearance . ’
‘What a fierce young lady!’
“One more word about my grandfather, and I’ll beat you up!” Little Yuan’er said angrily .
The crowd immediately scattered . ‘Our kindness is treated as ill intention . Why were we so nosy anyway?’ Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded . He was pleased with Little Yuan’er’s actions . Before this, she would have threatened to kill those people’s families . This time, she only threatened to beat them up . It was truly a huge improvement . “Keep up,” Lu Zhou said . “Oh . ” Little Yuan’er and Zhao Yue sighed with relief at the same time .
When the two of them passed by an intersection, Little Yuan’er pointed at a few low-ranked cultivators who carried sabers and said, “Master, those people are from the Nether Sect . ”
Lu Zhou looked in the direction in which she pointed .
Little Yuan’er said, “The Nether Sect is the largest fiend sect in Great Yan . Many factions would stay out of their way as much as they can . Yet, they’re bold enough to be recruiting members in the open . Isn’t the imperial family going to do anything about this?” “There’s no need to care about this . ” Lu Zhou shook his head and continued further into the city .
Zhao Yue said, “The Nether Sect is, indeed, a fiend sect, but to the Imperial family, the Nether Sect is no different from the ten great sects of the Noble Path . They just stay out of each other’s businesses . The Nether Sect recruiting disciples is no different from the Noble Path recruiting disciples in their eyes . Naturally, the Imperial family won’t meddle in this… Moreover, knowing Eldest… the traitor’s methods, I’m sure that he went through the right people beforehand . ”
“Oh . ” Little Yuan’er nodded despite not understanding anything .
The Nether Sect had never interfered with the Imperial family’s business on the surface . They had been assimilating smaller fiend sect’s in the dark .
When they walked past the city area, they found themselves in a residential area . Their surroundings were much quieter as well .
With Lu Zhou’s foggy memories as a guide, the three of them made their way to the Prince of Qi Mansion . It did not seem to have changed at all throughout the years .
“Master, I’ll go knock on the door . ”

It was the residence of a high-rank individual, after all . The number of steps before the door alone was more than that of ordinary homes .
Before she could even knock, the doors creaked and swung open slowly .
Several house servants emerged from the Prince of Qi Mansion . Eventually, an aged butler stepped forward and asked, “Who are
you?”
Little Yuan’er turned to look at her master .
“Where’s Qin Jun?” Lu zhou asked calmly .
The butler was incensed . How could this visitor have the nerve to address his master by his name . This was no ordinary butler . He had been in the Prince of Qi Mansion for two decades and was deeply loved by the members of the mansion . He was meticulous and thorough with his work . He remembered most of their visitors, up to their appearance and preferences . He was also a man who could read other people . He narrowed his eyes as he sized Lu Zhou up .
‘Hm?’ The butler’s eyes suddenly widened! He seemed to have some recollection of this man . He no longer dared to act carelessly . He bowed and greeted Lu Zhou, “Greetings . If I’m not mistaken, you’re from the Golden Court Mountain, right, old mister?”
This butler was highly intelligent and a high EQ . He did not ask for a name nor did he mention Lu Zhou’s name and bring up the title of the greatest villain . Instead, he only asked about the place Lu Zhou was from . That way he could avoid offending Lu Zhou .
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded . “You recognize me?”
Upon receiving confirmation from Lu Zhou, the old butler did not hesitate . Thud!
He fell to his knees immediately, kowtowed, and said, “Greetings, o-old mister!” As smart as he was, he carefully avoided using titles that might offend the guests .
Little Yuan’er and Zhao Yue were startled by this sight . Their master was widely known in the world as the greatest villain and had a bad reputation . Even those who had nothing to do with the Evil Sky Pavilion would do their best to avoid him when they heard his name . And yet, this old butler kneeled and kowtowed . It seemed like their master did have some special relationships with this place .
Zhao Yue said, “Answer the question . ”

Little Yuan’er nodded and parrotted Zhao Yue, “Answer the question . ”
There were many rules in the palace . They were not even in the Imperial City yet, but people here would kneel at a moment’s notice .
The old butler said, “I… have seen… Old mister’s portrait in my master’s room!”
“My portrait?” Lu Zhou searched his memories . He remembered the scene where he met the Prince of Qi, Qin Jun, for the first time . He did not recall leaving behind any portraits . He guessed Qin Jun must have hired an artist to draw it . ‘Oh, well, that’s unimportant . ’
Lu Zhou had used the Reversal Cards, and there had been some changes in his appearance, but his bearing did not change . This old butler was, indeed, special for being able to recognize him . If he had more Reversal Cards in the future, he would grow younger . At that time, most people would be hard-pressed to recognize him .
“This way please, old mister!”
The old butler knew how to treat his guests well . He knew the status of his guests and did away with announcing their arrival beforehand . He hastily got to his feet and made an inviting gesture .
Lu Zhou nodded, pleased . Then, he strode into the Prince of Qi Mansion .
In the living room .
The old butler served them the best tea the mansion had to offer .
Lu Zhou did not mind these things . Instead, he asked, “Where’s Qin Jun?”
The old butler stood at the side and spoke respectfully, “To answer your question, old mister, my master has gone to the Imperial city . He would be back in half a day . Meanwhile, please make yourself comfortable . ”
The butler’s voice had barely faded when an energetic and loud voice rang in the air . “Old Hong… I was told we have a few honored
guests?”
