Chapter 259 Walking is also a trial
The dust has settled on the Xuanyu Sect election, and the clamor in Kyoto has gradually dissipated.
In the private room on the second floor of Qianhua Lao, Hongdie slammed a stack of account books on the table.
"President, what will happen to the Chamber of Commerce if you leave?"
Lu Yuguan leaned against the window, stroking the celadon teacup with his fingertips, a smile on his lips.
"Don't look at me. You've been the one who's been running the Qianhua Chamber of Commerce for the past six months. Besides—"
He raised his hand and pointed at the bustling diners outside the window.
"Qianhua Lao's hot pot is fragrant from miles away, and the spicy noodle milk tea is in short supply."
"Without me, the hands-off boss, it won't affect anything."
Xiao Guozi rushed in with a bucket of milk tea, his nose stained with milk foam, and said anxiously, "But those regular customers all recognize your face!"
"Last time, Shopkeeper Wang of West Street said that without Shaoqing Shangli as the spokesperson, his team-building party would not be held here!"
"Then send someone to pretend to be me."
Lu Yuguan casually threw a sugar-roasted chestnut over, hitting the little girl right in the bun.
Jinjiao and Yinjiao were squatting in the corner chewing candied haws. Upon hearing this, they all looked up and said, "Lu Yuguan, when we get to Xuanyu Sect, don't let others tempt you and stop playing with us!"
"Of course I should bring it."
Lu Yuguan picked up the two little kids by the back of their collars, like lifting two glutinous rice balls.
"But let me make this clear first. Once you two enter the sect, if you two continue to ask others for food like you did to Red Butterfly and cause trouble for others, I won't be responsible for burying your bodies."
"Don't worry, I can't get used to what others cook," Jinjiao said with a grin, "We'll come play with you often!"
"Yes, yes, yes. When it comes to eating, you're definitely the first person I think of!"
Silver Horn echoed.
Lu Yuguan was very upset.
Everyone from the Chamber of Commerce escorted them to the outside of the city gate. Hongdie was also pulling a carriage filled with spiritual herbs and hot pot base.
"I heard that the Xuanyu Sect is full of immortals, so their food is inevitably light. They must have never even seen hot pot. If they have been wronged..."
"Just cook something for yourself."
Hongdie said worriedly.
Lu Yuguan looked at Hongdie's worried expression and felt a little warm in his heart.
He patted Hongdie's shoulder gently.
"Don't worry, I'm the third young master of the Bai Mansion. How could I let myself be wronged?"
"Besides, even though the Xuanyu Sect is an immortal cultivation sect, it's not the case that they won't even allow people to eat hot pot."
Hongdie sighed, her eyes filled with reluctance: "I don't know when you'll be back after you leave."
"Although I can handle the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, I always feel empty without you."
Lu Yuguan smiled and comforted her: "Hongdie, you are the pillar of our Chamber of Commerce. Without you, Qianhua Lao would have collapsed long ago."
"I'm going to the Xuanyu Sect this time to improve myself. Once I've established a firm foothold in the sect, I might be able to bring more development opportunities to the Chamber of Commerce."
Hongdie nodded. Although she was still reluctant, she also knew that Lu Yuguan's decision could not be changed.
She turned around, took out a package from the carriage and handed it to Lu Yuguan.
"This is for you. It contains some Kyoto pastries and spicy noodles made from small fruits."
"When you get to the sect, don't treat yourself badly."
Lu Yuguan took the package and felt touched.
He looked around and saw Jinjiao and Yinjiao squatting nearby and chewing candied haws.
Xiao Guozi held the milk tea bucket and looked at him eagerly.
Ah Huang stood aside with his attendants.
He has not returned to the Huang family yet and is now preparing for the establishment of a business in Kyoto.
The other girls in the Chamber of Commerce also gathered around, their eyes full of reluctance.
"Okay, don't be so sad, everyone," Lu Yuguan waved his hand and said casually, "It's not like I won't be coming back."
"When I become famous in Xuanyu Sect, I will definitely treat you to delicious food and spicy drinks!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Although I still felt reluctant, the atmosphere finally became a little more relaxed.
Just then, there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
Everyone looked back and saw Bai Xiao and several servants riding towards them.
"Big brother?"
Lu Yuguan looked at Bai Xiao with some surprise.
Bai Xiao dismounted and walked up to Lu Yuguan. He said with a complicated expression, "Yuguan, have you really decided to go to Xuanyu Sect?"
Lu Yuguan nodded and said with a smile: "Brother, this is a rare opportunity to cultivate immortality, I don't want to miss it."
Bai Xiao was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I know you've always had your own plans, but the Xuanyu Sect is not like the Longhua Kingdom, where there are so many experts..."
"I'm really worried about you going alone."
Lu Yuguan smiled and patted Bai Xiao on the shoulder: "Brother, you are the head of the Bai family, why are you still so fussy?"
"Don't worry, I have my own measure."
Bai Xiao nodded, looked at the people in the Chamber of Commerce around him, and whispered, "Yuguan, Xuanyu Sect is an immortal sect after all. When you go there, you should still focus on your cultivation and not be too distracted."
"You can come back to Kyoto anytime. There will always be a room for you in the Bai Mansion."
Lu Yuguan smiled and didn't say much.
He knew what Bai Xiao meant. No matter where he went, this place would always be his roots.
After bidding farewell to Bai Xiao, Lu Yuguan took Jinjiao and Yinjiao and set off for Xuanyu Sect.
Yes.
That's right.
Damn Xuanyu Sect, after passing the selection, the cultivators actually have to go to Xuanyu Sect on their own?!
This is the explanation given by the elders.
"Going through hardships and hardship to reach the sect is also a test..."
I bother!
They're still testing me. It's obvious they don't want to pay for the travel expenses for so many people!
When he thought of this, the corners of Lu Yuguan's mouth twitched.
Originally he wanted to go with Li Chonglin.
But this kid, despite being the crown prince, had already been taken away by some elder along with Miao'er.
And his cheap second brother said that he had met true love and wanted to go with another woman.
Lu Yuguan:?
no……
Are you guys kidding me?
Along the way, Jinjiao and Yinjiao were still lively and active. From time to time they ran to the roadside to pick some wild fruits, or chased butterflies.
Lu Yuguan looked at them and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Although these two guys kept saying that they had lived for more than 800 years.
But in fact, he is still innocent by nature, just like a child.
"Lu Yuguan, do you think there's anything delicious in Xuanyu Sect?"
Jinjiao suddenly ran to Lu Yuguan and asked with blinking eyes.
Lu Yuguan smiled and touched Jinjiao's head.
"Don't worry, Xuanyu Sect is a major sect in the Eastern Xuan Continent. There are many spiritual fruits and herbs there. There must be something you like."
Yinjiao also came over and said with a smile: "Then we must eat more. If we don't eat it down, we won't go back to Taixu Sect!"
Jinjiao suddenly elbowed him, "Pfft, pfft, pfft, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"If your bad mouth keeps us from going back, I'll definitely blow your head off!"
Silver Horn pursed his lips and said, "I'm just saying it!"
