Chapter 150: Chapter 150: The Grandmaster’s Favor—Ye Qingshan Dares Not Accept

Outside the hall, a voice came through, and Lu Xuan walked in from outside.

"Qian Hao, Li Daren, you two go first to maintain the county order."

Qian Hao and Li Daren, upon seeing the arrival of Lu Xuan, immediately became respectful.

"Yes, sir, we obey your command!"

Beside them, Chen Shi stood out quickly and said.

"Gentlemen, please wait. I am the Chief Constable of the county office, familiar with the county’s situation. I will go with you both."

At this time, Liang Cheng also walked to Lu Xuan’s side, looking at Lu Xuan with admiration.

"Xuan!"

Liang Cheng’s mood was extremely complex at this moment.

He had not expected that in just one or two months, his cousin Lu Xuan had grown to this level.

Liang Cheng had heard from Qian Hao that his cousin Lu Xuan was now a towering figure over White Dao Prefecture.

Even the Prefect of White Dao Prefecture must follow his cousin Lu Xuan’s commands.

"Mm!"

"Ah Cheng, it seems you haven’t forgotten my advice. During this period, your Martial Arts Realm has also advanced."

Lu Xuan sensed Liang Cheng’s Martial Arts Realm and nodded with satisfaction.

Before he left, Liang Cheng was already at the Great Achievement of Refined Flesh, and now he’s just one step away from Refining Meat Perfection.

This proves that Liang Cheng has been relentlessly practicing martial arts during this time.

"Hehe, Xuan, you noticed."

Liang Cheng initially planned to spend his life loafing, living carefree as a second-generation official.

But he found that in this world, there were actually those eerie things.

So, for the safety of his life, Liang Cheng chose to devote himself to martial arts practice.

"After I handle things here, come with me to the capital city."

"The Profound Bird Guard there is suitable for you, and I can guide you."

Lu Xuan had already decided to put Liang Cheng into the Profound Bird Guard, where his Martial Arts Realm could quickly improve.

Before, Lu Xuan had not considered this because Liang Cheng wasn’t interested in martial arts.

Now that Liang Cheng has taken an interest in martial arts, Lu Xuan intends to cultivate him well.

Given Lu Xuan’s standing, he would certainly provide Liang Cheng with special treatment, nurturing him with ample martial arts resources.

Liang Cheng agreed without hesitation to Lu Xuan’s decision.

Though unsure about what the Profound Bird Guard was, Lu Xuan was his cousin and would certainly not treat him poorly.

"Alright, Xuan, I will follow your arrangements."

"Xuan, I’ll go help maintain the county’s order now."

As a Chief Constable at the county office, Liang Cheng certainly couldn’t waste time; he needed to lead his men to maintain order in the county.

Meanwhile, Liang Shanhai and Lu Yee helped Mr. Jiaqing and his wife leave the hall.

"Father!"

Lu Xuan quickly walked to Lu Jiahe’s side, holding his arm.

"Mm, Xuan, thank you for running this errand."

Lu Jiahe looked at his eldest son, who was taller than him, filled with pride.

No matter how great Lu Xuan’s status was now, he was always the son whom he was most proud of.

"Xuan, your father is fine."

Having said this, Lu Jiahe turned to look at Ye Qingshan, who was seated in the front chair.

"Mr. Ye, old me is unworthy. To have you risk yourself for us is something I can’t bear."

Lu Jiahe hadn’t expected Ye Qingshan to take such a risk to save several members of their family.

Ye Qingshan, as a lord of the county, held a noble status, yet for the sake of rescuing their family, he paid the price of an arm.

"Mr. Lu, you exaggerate. Your contributions to Qingyun County far exceed mine as the County Magistrate."

"If you had any mishap, it would be a loss to Qingyun County and my error as County Magistrate."

Ye Qingshan showed no signs of pain, with an expression as composed as ever.

Losing an arm seemed to him like a minor matter.

"Mr. Ye, please rest here for a moment. I’ll go prepare some nourishing herbs for you."

Lu Jiahe said this without waiting for Ye Qingshan to respond, turned around, and left the hall.

"Yun Qing, Yun An, go with Father."

"Yes, elder brother!"

In a short time, only Ye Qingshan and Lu Xuan were left in the hall.

"Mr. Ye, on behalf of the Lu Family, I thank you for assisting us."

Lu Xuan clasped his hands together, appearing solemn and respectful, offering a formal bow to Ye Qingshan.

This gesture from Lu Xuan immediately frightened Ye Qingshan, causing him to stand up in alarm and step aside to avoid the ceremonial tribute.

"I do not deserve this, Mr. Lu, please spare the courtesy."

"Mr. Lu’s medical compassion saves lives, and even I have benefitted from it."

"I was merely performing what I should do."

Ye Qingshan wasn’t lying.

His daughter’s minor injuries while practicing martial arts had been treated with prescriptions from the Lu Family Pharmacy.

Of course, Ye Qingshan’s reluctance to accept Lu Xuan’s tribute wasn’t due to Lu Xuan’s status.

It was entirely because of Lu Xuan’s strength.

An External Strength Grandmaster!

The young owner of the Lu Family Pharmacy was of such supreme existence!

The power Lu Xuan had just displayed was the strength unique to External Strength Grandmasters!

Who would know the depth of Ye Qingshan’s shock at this moment?

Even in the capital, Ye Qingshan had never seen a twenty-year-old External Strength Grandmaster.

This Lu Xuan’s martial arts talent was indeed unprecedented and unparalleled.

A Martial Arts Grandmaster’s tribute would be too overwhelming for Ye Qingshan to accept.

"Mr. Ye, regardless, you saved my father today."

"I owe you a favor for this."

"This... I... "

"Mr. Ye, your favor is too precious, please forgive my inability to accept it."

Ye Qingshan felt very shocked after hearing Lu Xuan’s words.

But while being startled, Ye Qingshan swiftly refused Lu Xuan’s offer.

A favor from an External Strength Grandmaster was a monumental affair; he, a humble Blood Refining Realm Martial Artist, dared not seek it.

Before Lu Xuan could speak, Ye Qingshan quickly interjected.

"Mr. Lu, my daughter Ye Qingxuan is under the Profound Bird Guard’s command."

"If you don’t mind, please look after Qingxuan for me."

"With this, I, as her unworthy father, can be at ease."

To prevent Lu Xuan from bringing up the favor again, Ye Qingshan had no choice but to bring his daughter into the conversation to deflect the topic.
