Chapter 49 The Helian Family's Sincerity
Lu Yuan, who was drinking in the private room, raised an eyebrow, twirled his wine glass with his fingers, and a playful look appeared on his face.
Old Huang and the others around him stopped what they were doing and looked at him.
The fact that the Helian family members are here at this time means they must be trying to poach our members. Zhou He pursed his lips.
A hint of worry appeared in his eyes.
After a moment, Lu Yuan said, "Guests are welcome, please come in."
Helian Heihu outside showed a fleeting look of joy before walking inside.
After pushing open the door, I saw the scene inside.
He bowed to Lu Yuan and said, "Lord Lu, what a refined taste you have."
After saying that, he took a box out of his pocket and presented it to us.
"This is a gift from our Captain to congratulate you on your resounding victory."
After Lu Yuan took it, he opened it and found a dark, black fruit inside, which emitted a rich fragrance.
"This is a Mystic Tendon Fruit, which is most effective for experts in the Tendon Refining Realm."
Although the people in the arena had never seen it before, they had heard of the Mysterious Tendon Fruit. It was said to be the best medicine for strengthening tendons and tendons, and only disciples of aristocratic families had the opportunity to take it.
Ordinary silver cannot buy this fruit; it requires eight thousand merit points.
That's definitely a big investment.
Then, Helian Black Fox continued, "Lord Lu, our captain is preparing to build an elite force that is no less than the Unspeakable Cavalry. Now we are just missing a suitable centurion. As long as you are willing, you can take up the post immediately when you go to Huangsha City, and we guarantee that you will be promoted to chiliarch within a year."
The Helian family will dedicate all its resources to nurturing you, prioritizing your needs.
After he finished speaking, he looked up at Lu Yuan, his eyes filled with eagerness.
If it were any other centurion, this steward from the captain's mansion wouldn't have been so respectful, let alone given him a second glance.
Who is he? His surname is Helian, and he has the blood of a military family. Although he is not a direct descendant, he is not someone that a low-ranking general can easily mess with.
Moreover, he was also the steward of the military command.
Even ordinary centurions would show him respect.
He's definitely a big shot in the city.
But Lu Yuan is different. Not to mention that he wiped out the elite cavalry of the Manyan tribe, he has now annihilated an entire Silver Arm Iron Falcon army. This is a real military achievement. Moreover, the other party has caught the eye of the Marquis. He dares not underestimate such a person in the slightest.
Moreover, the Helian family is now determined to poach the other party.
If he dares to offend Lu Yuan and ruins his plans because of his arrogance, he will definitely not have a good ending.
At this moment, his subordinates all lowered their heads and remained silent. Even Wei Yong, who was rather reckless, was only focused on drinking.
In short, their idea was that wherever Lu Yuan went, they would go too.
Only Zhou He's eyes showed increasing worry. He was a member of the Zhou family, and if Lu Yuan really left, he certainly couldn't follow him.
Other places are fine, but the Helian family is out of the question.
However, the conditions offered by the other party this time were indeed tempting, and if it were him, he might not be able to resist.
A single Mystic Tendon Fruit is enough to allow any person in the Tendon Refining Realm to suppress their cultivation to perfection before breaking through.
Another key point is that if you reach the rank of commander within a year, it basically means that the Helian family's cultivation resources will be tilted towards you, guaranteeing that you will break through to the Refining Realm within a year.
As for building an elite force, that goes without saying. What does that mean? It means that Lu Yuan will continue to grow stronger, and military merits will be something that is easily obtained for him.
In just a few years, it could even reach a height that we wouldn't even dare to imagine now.
The meaning is clear: the Helian family intends to do everything in their power to support Lu Yuan.
How could he not worry?
"I appreciate Captain Helian's kindness, but I, Lu Yuan, started from humble beginnings. If it weren't for the Zhou family, I would have had no chance to rise above others. It is really unreasonable for me to change my allegiance now."
"Lord Lu..."
"Steward Helian, there's no need to say anything more. I've already made my decision." Lu Yuan's resolute words brought tears to Zhou He's eyes, and he was deeply moved.
"Then I'll take my leave now, and won't disturb Lord Lu any longer." After saying this, the butler turned around and prepared to leave.
Lu Yuan picked up the box on the table and said, "Steward Helian, take this back as well. I shouldn't accept something for nothing."
After saying that, he handed the Xuanjin Fruit to Helian Black Fox.
The other person took it, opened their mouth, but after meeting Lu Yuan's firm gaze, they could only leave helplessly.
After he left.
The atmosphere in the venue became lively again.
The girls who had been waiting outside also flocked to the scene.
After learning that Helian Heihu had already paid the bill, Lu Yuan didn't say anything more. There was no need to dwell on such a small matter.
However, this allowed Wei Yong and his companions to have a great time, and they didn't leave until late at night.
I walked home.
But after Zhou He left, he did not go straight home.
After hesitating for a moment, he headed towards the city defense camp.
He told his uncle about this as soon as possible. The Helian family had already reached out, so the Zhou family couldn't let Lu Yuan suffer any losses.
Although he couldn't make the decision, the captain must have a clear idea in his mind; he couldn't let Lu Yuan down.
He couldn't see Zhou Hongling directly, so his uncle had to handle the matter.
With that in mind, I no longer cared about the time.
At this moment, Lu Yuan was unaware of Zhou He's thoughts. After entering the alley, he prepared to go home.
However, just as we passed by Xiao Hua's house...
A clear voice came from inside: "Brother Yuan is back?"
The sound surprised Lu Yuan. What was this girl doing in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?
However, he stopped and said, "Yes, I'm back. I just went out for a drink."
"Sizzle!"
The courtyard gate was pushed open, and a head appeared. The fair skin was dazzling in the moonlight, and a cherry-like mouth was slightly open, as if it wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing her like this, Lu Yuan smiled and asked, "Is there something you need?"
Xiao Hua twisted her clothes with her hands and mustered her courage to say, "Brother Yuan, come to my house for dinner whenever you come back. It's not good to go to places like Chunfeng Tower too often."
"Haha, you heard me talking to Lao Huang and the others. I just went out for a drink. What were you thinking? Staying up so late just to talk to me about this? Go back and get some rest."
Don't open the door to strangers at night anymore, it's too dangerous.
"I only opened the door because I knew it was you. I'm going back now." Hearing that Lu Yuan was just going to drink, Xiao Hua seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and then closed the courtyard gate.
A blush rose on her cheeks in the moonlight.
At the same time, I was complaining in my heart, "When you went to Chunfeng Tower, you were so loud, it would be hard not to hear you."
Lu Yuan shook his head, opened the gate to his courtyard, and went straight back to his house to rest.
At the same time, inside the Captain's Mansion, the banquet had just ended, and Zhou Hongling was preparing to rest.
A guard hurried over.
"My lord, Centurion Zhou Xiong requests an audience."
Zhou Hongling was puzzled; what was he doing here so late?
However, since they were family, he still said, "Let him go to the front hall."
After he finished speaking, he saw the guard leave.
He then headed towards the front hall of the Captain's Mansion.
