Chapter 3

In the early morning, as the sun began to shine on the Jia River, the servants of the Li family had already started their busy day. The head chef in the small kitchen yawned, put the fragrant rice from Xuanzhou into a special small pot, and added water to simmer over a low flame. The night watchman rubbed his face and prepared to return to his room to sleep. The pretty first-class maids, holding basins, towels, and other items, silently walked towards the courtyard where the young master lived.

All of this was carried out without any orders, proceeding in an orderly manner! This showed the noble atmosphere accumulated by the Li family over many years. If it were a newly rich merchant family, there would be no such meticulous rules.

"Young Master, it's a bit cool today. I've chosen this thicker set of clothes for you. Do you think it fits well?" Two maids quickly helped Li You put on his clothes and asked with concern.

Cool! Looking at the handsome young man in the bronze mirror, Li You gave himself a thumbs up. Thinking about the life of having to squeeze onto the subway early in the morning, the current life was much more comfortable! "Have the kitchen prepare a few more dishes and invite Mr. Xu to have breakfast with me."

"Yes, Young Master!" The maid couldn't help but frown slightly when she heard Mr. Xu's name, hesitated, and then responded, "Are you going out today?"

"Not today! I'm going to read in the study!" Li You said calmly. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, "Rongyue, Shengge, would you like me to change your names?"

"Ah?" The two maids were a bit at a loss. Why did they suddenly want to change their names after using them for over ten years? Rongyue, being more clever, pulled Shengge, and both bowed, "Thank you, Young Master, for bestowing us new names!"

"Um, since you two are so clever, considerate, and smart, how about changing your names to Shuang'er and Xiaozhao?" These two maids, upon hearing this, must have felt as bewildered as he did when he heard the line "Since you were born in Jingchu, let's call you Mengmeng" in a movie.

After breakfast, Xu Guang accompanied Li You and then took him to the martial arts training ground in the backyard to teach him some physical exercises. Li You learned with great dedication; well, since he had decided to be a playboy, he would definitely need to be in good shape to handle the beauties in the future!

After finishing his martial arts training, Li You returned to the study. In the past few days, he had studied the history of the Great Wei Dynasty and noticed some similarities with certain historical periods on Earth. There were also the Hundred Schools of Thought and poetry, but the dynasties were slightly different. The current dynasty was very different from what he remembered.

The Great Wei Dynasty had been established for over two hundred years. Due to the assistance of the aristocratic families during the founding of the dynasty, these families still held significant positions in the Great Wei Dynasty. However, after the founding emperor established the imperial examination system, it provided an opportunity for commoners to enter the upper class. Additionally, the old ministers who had followed the founding emperor at the beginning of his rise had established their own meritorious families, which were often intermarried and had considerable influence in the court!

Li You's family came from one of these meritorious families. His ancestors had fought alongside the founding emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, winning immense wealth for their descendants. After the country was at peace, they were ennobled as barons and permanently stationed in Jia Prefecture. By the time of Li You, they were already in the eleventh generation!

Taking out the newly delivered gazette from the bookshelf and flipping through it, he saw that the aristocratic and commoner factions in the court were fiercely attacking each other, and the Tartars and barbarians in the northeast and northwest were becoming restless. The Great Wei Dynasty was not at peace! Li You shook his head as he read, completely unaware that the tiger talisman on his desk, used as a paperweight, was glowing again.

The seal script on the tiger talisman lit up in a mysterious pattern. When all the characters were illuminated, the tiger talisman's eyes suddenly opened, and two beams of light enveloped Li You. Li You suddenly disappeared from the chair, and the tiger talisman closed its eyes, the glow of the characters fading. The room returned to calm, as if nothing had happened...

"Where am I?" Li You, who had just woken up, looked bewildered at the grand hall in front of him. At the top of the hall, a long table was placed, with a row of command arrows on it, a sword and a seal on either side, and a mural of a fierce white tiger on the back wall.

Below the long table were two rows of seats, and behind the seats were weapon racks with various weapons such as swords, spears, axes, and halberds. In the middle of the seats stood a large statue of a fierce tiger, covered with ancient seal script, which looked exactly like the tiger talisman Li You had just bought, only much larger.

"Welcome to the White Tiger Hall!" A voice full of military masculinity suddenly sounded, "Host identity verified, Li You is the new master of the White Tiger Hall!"

"Damn, the White Tiger Hall!" Li You felt a chill down his spine and instinctively looked at the door behind him. Didn't Lin Chong in 'Water Margin' get imprisoned for mistakenly entering the White Tiger Hall? Would a group of guards come in and arrest him? Wait, what? I'm the new master of the White Tiger Hall? What does that mean?

Suddenly, Li You's vision went dark, and his head throbbed as countless pieces of information were instantly poured into his brain. "Ah, my head hurts so much!" Li You clutched his head and screamed on the ground.

After an unknown amount of time, the headache subsided, and Li You understood his situation. Just like in the web novels he liked to read, the White Tiger Hall was a space similar to a god-like existence, and the tiger talisman was the medium to enter the White Tiger Hall. After obtaining the tiger talisman, he passed the White Tiger Hall's screening and became the new master of this space.

Unlike other god-like spaces or the Bronze Door, the White Tiger Hall would not take him into horror worlds or martial arts worlds but into more brutal battlefields. Li You needed to complete various tasks to survive, and failure would result in being eliminated by the White Tiger Hall!

Fortunately, the White Tiger Hall also provided him with a golden finger. As the master of the White Tiger Hall, he could use the tiger talisman to summon armies and generals to fight for him, helping him complete various tasks and avoid being eliminated.

"Phew, that's better! Let me see what armies and generals I can summon now." Li You sighed in relief and prepared to study his golden finger.

"Task time is up, please prepare to enter the Three Kingdoms world! This time travel is a soul transfer, and you will possess Han Fu, the Governor of Ji Province, at the time when the eighteen warlords are jointly attacking Dong Zhuo, and Sun Jian is defeated by Hua Xiong! Task one, defeat Hua Xiong and capture the Fenshui Pass! Task two, defeat Lu Bu and capture the Hulao Pass! Success will earn you rewards, failure will result in elimination! Countdown to entry, three, two..." Before he could start studying, the masculine voice sounded again.
