Although the Young Master Building is a building, in fact, no matter how you look at it, it is far more than just a place for people to live...
This building is divided into nine floors, and every three floors form a block. For example, the first three floors have kitchens, bedrooms, firewood rooms, arsenals, medicinal fields, spiritual plants, etc. They are mainly inhabited by servants and slaves, and are responsible for meeting all the needs of the young master. The second three floors are the guest floors, which are spacious and bright. Many of the young master's official duties are handled here, and formal meetings with guests and elders of the clan are all in this area. The higher the floor number, the more important the guest is; and the third floor is the "territory" of the young master alone. It is not only a place for rest, but also covered with defensive talismans for comprehensive protection. Moreover, this three-story block is like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, and it is difficult to tell which floor the young master is on. Moreover, this floor is located at one of the highest points of the entire Chu Mansion. Looking down from here, many details can be seen at a glance. If necessary, you can also shake the indoor bell to notify your subordinates, which is very convenient... In addition, the interior layout of this floor is reasonable, and the utensils are exquisite and luxurious. It is also a great enjoyment to live in.
And now…
The Young Master Building had changed hands temporarily, and in a very short period of time, even if Chu He acted as quickly as possible, he could only send people to move out private and some secret items, but most of the resources were left behind.
Not long after, Chu Tianxiao and Mu Liuling moved in.
…
"Young Master, the wealth of this building is still being counted, but judging from the part that has been counted..." Mu Liuling said this, looking at the magnificent buildings around him, and sighed, "Whoever gets Young Master's building will get half of the Chu family, this statement... is really true."
Chu Tianxiao laughed: "So I have enough resources to... continue to squander money?"
Mu Liuling's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he said, "Young Master, do you want to hear the truth?"
"Go ahead."
"... Originally, the master only left you the wealth of the first pavilion of the Purple Clothes Building, and the second pavilion has not yet been opened. After your squandering of money during this period, we have less than 10 million spirit coins left, and our finances are a bit tight..." Mu Liuling sighed silently, "But after taking over the Young Master's Building... Hey, Young Master, even if Liuling is unwilling, I am afraid I can only say one thing - from today on, you can squander money without restraint..."
"Hahaha, that's good!" Chu Tianxiao smiled and waved his hands, "Dad is not straightforward at all. Wouldn't it be better if he just gave me all of Ziyi Building? He gave it to me slowly over time, forcing a prodigal son like me to be self-reliant and rack my brains to take over this Shaozhu Building. Otherwise, I can't continue to be a prodigal..."
Mu Liuling's mouth twitched again when he heard this, and he thought to himself that it was a good thing that the master didn't give you the Purple Clothes Building directly, otherwise it might have been squandered in a few days...
"Master, this action must have a deep meaning..."
Mu Liuling could only say this, but Chu Tianxiao didn't care and waved his hand: "No matter what Dad thinks, the Young Master Building is already in my hands... Liuling, the first step in taking back the Chu family has been successful."
"Yes... Young Master, looking back, Liu Ling feels like he is dreaming - taking back the Young Master's Building on the first day of returning home. No one else could have done a better job than the Young Master," Mu Liu Ling bowed, "The Young Master's methods... really make Liu Ling ashamed."
"With this building, we can gain a firm foothold in the Chu family. We will no longer be the weak position we were when we first entered Kyoto. We can use this building as a foundation to officially recruit members and rally people's hearts, hoping to compete with Chu He..."
As Mu Liuling spoke, her eyes lit up - this was within her expectations, and was originally going to be the situation two months later, but she didn't expect the young master to achieve this on the first day!
Chu Tianxiao nodded: "I'll leave this matter to you. Have our people from the Purple Robe Marquis' Mansion arrived?"
"Young Master, rest assured. I informed you last night. If you hurry up, you should be at the Kyoto Post Station by now. Liu Ling will contact them now. We will first take full control of the Young Master's Building."
"Hmm... the number of people coming this time..."
"Don't worry, young master. Liu Ling has already made plans for this matter. We will leave loopholes for the 'new team'. However, in order to prevent Chu He from taking advantage of the situation, we still need to investigate carefully..." Mu Liu Ling bowed and said, "But these are all minor details. Young master has laid the overall situation. If Liu Ling cannot stabilize the follow-up and expand the results, it will be in vain to receive so much monthly salary from the young master..."
"So Liu Ling can handle this matter. Young Master has been fighting wits and courage with Chu He today, which is very tiring. It is better for you to go to bed early."
Chu Tianxiao smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "I trust your ability as a housekeeper, Liu Ling, and taking over the Young Master's Building is indeed a great relief... But it's far from time to relax."
"Young Master, what you mean is..."
"... I'm still thinking, but no matter how you look at it, Chu He's next counterattack will not be a breeze or drizzle." Chu Tianxiao looked at the other end, his expression slightly condensed, "I can't guess what he is going to do specifically, but it seems to be nothing more than a few possibilities... So, no matter what, it's time for me to practice that sword manual..."
Mu Liuling's eyes narrowed slightly: "Young Master, are you talking about... the Chu family's unique martial arts, which is the only one among the younger generation of the Chu family who has successfully practiced Chu He... the Star Soul Sword Canon?"
Chu Tianxiao nodded: "Yes, each family of the Divine Marquis has its own unique skills, and each requires corresponding bloodlines, so it is impossible to steal the teacher. For example, although I have snatched the secret book of the Luo family's 'Ice Vortex Art', if I dare to practice it, I will be courting death, which is equivalent to being useless. I can only use it to make deals with other families... And this Star Soul Sword Classic is the foundation of my Chu family, and it is a wonderful sword art that is only passed down to the direct descendants of the Chu family!"
"Rumor has it that Chu He has achieved great success in this area, and if I want to compete with him for the position of Young Master, I must surpass him in a short period of time!"
Mu Liuling was silent after hearing this, and said after a while: "But... I heard that the Star Soul Sword Canon is extremely difficult to practice. It can only be practiced by reaching the Mingyuan Realm at least. Moreover, it contains many dangers. Just like alchemy, it is very difficult to get started without the guidance of a master... If the master was here, it would be fine for the young master to practice, but now... ah!"
As she spoke, she suddenly glanced at the Young Master's Building and revealed a look of realization: "Young Master... have you thought of this a long time ago?"
Chu Tianxiao smiled and said: "Yes, Liu Ling, you finally remembered..."
"The Young Master Building contains the experiences and lessons of the young masters of all generations. They will also leave their final mark here after becoming the masters of the family, so... it's not like I don't have a teacher to guide me." Chu Tianxiao clenched his palms, "The original volume of the Star Soul Sword Canon is also in the Young Master Building... Tonight the stars are shining brightly, so I will start practicing this unique skill from tonight."
Mu Liuling was mentally prepared, but was still surprised when he heard this: "Tonight? Young Master, isn't it too hasty? Practicing the Sword Canon is not an easy task..."
Chu Tianxiao shook his head and said, "It's okay, I know my limits."
"... In this case, Young Master must be careful. The Star Soul Sword Canon only relies on talent. Liu Ling believes that with Young Master's talent, it is not impossible for him to catch up with Chu He in a short period of time!"
"Haha, thanks for your good words. Go ahead and get busy." As soon as Chu Tianxiao finished speaking, Mu Liuling agreed and bowed: "Liuling will deliver the required resources to you right away..."
"I'm on the ninth floor."
"Yes." Mu Liuling was touched in his heart. It was usually a taboo to tell which floor the young master lived in. But this young master was so frank with him...
As he was speaking, Mu Liuling stepped back. Chu Tianxiao walked up to the ninth floor, looked at the vast starry sky outside the window for a long time, and took a deep breath.
“Ding ding ding…”
At this moment, the voice of the big spendthrift system sounded again in Chu Tianxiao's mind.
"I've abused my destiny thousands of times... Auxiliary mission, generated!"
"Host: The so-called auxiliary tasks are tasks that help complete the main quest. Since the host wants to complete step III of the main quest and is blocked by the Prince of Fortune, a task is generated..."
Chu Tianxiao understood. Probably because in order to prepare the Divine Wine, the Emperor's Garden must be seized. Therefore, the system determined that Chu He and the hidden slave were obstacles. In order to make the main task go smoothly, this task was assigned to "reduce the difficulty", which is a more formal side task, but the reward should be more generous...
As Chu Tianxiao thought about this, the sounds from the system in his ears began to become more frequent.
"Host, please listen carefully..."
"III auxiliary mission - the attack of the loser, capture the fortress of the true destiny!"
"Mission description: Is the lair of the prince of destiny impregnable? What a joke! The prodigal son who used money to pave the way is here, so get ready to lick his boots..." (To be continued.)8
