"Master." Lu Xiaobai's voice came hurriedly, as if he had something urgent to say.

"What is it?" Lu Shaoyou asked. As Lu Xiaobai rushed into the room, he was out of breath.

Seeing Lu Xiaobai's appearance, Lu Shaoyou was somewhat surprised. The old, tattered robe Lu Xiaobai had been wearing was gone, replaced by a new blue robe with a badge on the shoulder, symbolizing his new position as a minor manager in the Lu family.

"Master, I've been discovered. What should I do?" Lu Xiaobai said hurriedly as soon as he entered the room.

"Discovered for what?" Lu Shaoyou asked.

Lu Xiaobai said, "When I was practicing the Fire Wolf Technique last night, I broke through to the Martial Disciple stage, which caught the attention of Uncle. He interrogated me all night."

Lu Shaoyou knew that the "Uncle" Lu Xiaobai was referring to was his own uncle in this world, who was also Lu Wushuang's adoptive father. He was a decent person who had taken care of him when he was young.

"What did he interrogate you about?" Lu Shaoyou asked quickly, worried that he might be exposed, which could cause some trouble.

Lu Xiaobai said, "Uncle interrogated me about how I became a Martial Disciple and who taught me to practice. But I didn't say anything. I wouldn't betray you, Master. I just said that I accidentally met a benefactor who taught me to practice but told me not to tell anyone."

After saying this, Lu Xiaobai smiled slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with his quick thinking.

Lu Shaoyou also breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't time for him to be exposed yet. If he were exposed, it could cause some trouble.

"What happened after that?" Lu Shaoyou asked. A low-level servant who couldn't become a martial artist suddenly becoming one would certainly raise some questions from the Lu family, and they wouldn't just let it go without suspicion.

"After that, the family head, Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, and others all came and asked who my benefactor was. In the end, I had no choice but to say that he came and went without a trace, and he always came to find me. So, Uncle and the family head didn't ask any more questions. In the end, they promoted me to a minor manager and told me to move to the front courtyard, but I said I wouldn't move and that the back courtyard was fine," Lu Xiaobai said.

"Isn't the front courtyard better? Besides, isn't Xiao Cui also in the front courtyard?" Lu Shaoyou smiled slightly. With Lu Xiaobai becoming a martial artist, the Lu family would naturally value him more, and promoting him to a minor manager was normal. However, Lu Shaoyou was also thinking that he needed to be more careful with his own practice. It wasn't the right time for the Lu family to know about it yet.

"Master, you live in the back courtyard, how can I live in the front courtyard? Unless we move together. I just saw Xiao Cui, and she even greeted me," Lu Xiaobai said.

Hearing Lu Xiaobai say this, Lu Shaoyou didn't say much more. He then said, "Be more careful in the future. Here are two Enlightenment Pills. Take them and refine them; they will be very beneficial for your practice. If anyone discovers these Enlightenment Pills, don't tell anyone they're from me. Just say they're from your benefactor."

Lu Shaoyou smiled slightly. Giving Lu Xiaobai two Enlightenment Pills was partly to genuinely help him advance quickly, and partly because the Lu family would certainly pay more attention to Lu Xiaobai in the coming days. If they discovered that Lu Xiaobai had Enlightenment Pills, they would certainly be even more interested in him. At that time, fewer people in the Lu family would pay attention to him, making his own situation safer.

"Master, these pills are quite expensive, right?" Lu Xiaobai said as he took the pills.

"Fifty gold coins, and they're hard to come by. Do you think they're expensive?" Lu Shaoyou rolled his eyes. He knew from the Heavenly Treasure Gate that the current market price for the Enlightenment Pills he had refined was around sixty to seventy gold coins each. He was planning to have the Heavenly Treasure Gate raise the price.

"So expensive?" Fifty gold coins was an astronomical amount for Lu Xiaobai.

"Still, you should focus on your practice and not be lazy," Lu Shaoyou said.

"Right, Master. The family head also asked me to go to the Martial Technique Pavilion to choose a set of martial techniques, so I'll go now," Lu Xiaobai said. Although he had become a Martial Disciple, he still needed martial techniques.

"Go ahead," Lu Shaoyou indicated. The family head of the Lu family was also his father in this body, but he had few memories of him. Lu Shaoyou was also curious; could someone really be indifferent to their own flesh and blood?

After Lu Xiaobai left, Lu Shaoyou was a bit dazed for a moment, then he tidied up and was about to leave the courtyard to go to the Heavenly Treasure Gate when he saw Lu Wushuang approaching.

"Wushuang, why are you here?" Lu Shaoyou was slightly surprised. The awkwardness from the last time had faded, and he didn't feel embarrassed anymore. He was a man, after all, and being seen by a woman didn't really matter.

But Lu Wushuang was different. Seeing Lu Shaoyou, she couldn't help but think of that day, and her eyes turned red, and she lowered her head.

"Shaoyou, there are only seven days left until the New Year. Do you have time to go shopping with me?" Lu Wushuang said softly.

"I have time. Let's go," Lu Shaoyou thought it was almost the New Year, and he should also buy some clothes and other items for his mother. As for gold coins, he wasn't short of them. In the past month, he had earned a considerable amount from the Heavenly Treasure Gate, aside from the cost of the medicinal herbs.

"Okay," Lu Wushuang responded softly, and they walked out of the Lu family compound through the main gate. With Lu Wushuang leading the way, the servants at the gate didn't dare to say anything.

Lu Shaoyou didn't really care whether they left through the front or back gate. The servants' gazes didn't matter to him. When they found out he had become a martial artist, they would naturally fawn over him. Such people who looked down on others were common in his previous life, and he wasn't surprised by them.

After leaving the Lu family compound, they arrived at the bustling streets of the town. The crowded and lively scene made Lu Wushuang temporarily forget her awkwardness, and her mood seemed to improve. Wearing a long dress, her figure was elegantly curved, and her beautiful features and outstanding demeanor made many men around her unable to resist drooling.

Lu Shaoyou looked at Lu Wushuang and was also taken aback. Every time he saw her, she was different. If she were in his previous life, she would easily outshine any beauty pageant contestant.

"Shaoyou, what do you think of these boots?" Inside a shop, Lu Wushuang picked up a pair of black boots and asked Lu Shaoyou.

Lu Shaoyou nodded slightly, but the boots seemed to be for men.

"Do you like them? They should fit you well." Lu Wushuang examined the boots and then said, "Shopkeeper, please wrap them up and deliver them to the Lu family later."

"Yes, Miss Lu," the shopkeeper, a slightly fat middle-aged man, responded. He had been staring at Lu Shaoyou, and when he saw Lu Wushuang buying boots for him, his eyes were filled with envy.

Lu Shaoyou wanted to say something but didn't. He did need a new pair of shoes.

"Let's go," Lu Wushuang said to Lu Shaoyou. After leaving the shop, they visited several more, buying clothes and items for Roland. Each time Lu Shaoyou tried to pay, Lu Wushuang beat him to it, leaving him helpless.

"Heavenly Treasure Gate, Shaoyou, I want to buy a weapon. Will you come with me?" Unconsciously, they had arrived at the Heavenly Treasure Gate.

"Wushuang, doesn't the Lu family also sell weapons?" Lu Shaoyou asked.

"The Lu family's weapons are not as good as those at the Heavenly Treasure Gate. Let's take a look," Lu Wushuang said and walked into the Heavenly Treasure Gate.

"What would you like to buy, sir and miss?" The two attendants at the Heavenly Treasure Gate nodded to Lu Shaoyou and Lu Wushuang. Previously, when Lu Shaoyou came alone, they would respectfully call him "Young Master Lu," but today, they pretended not to recognize him.

Lu Shaoyou guessed that the Heavenly Treasure Gate had probably been instructed not to expose his frequent visits. Over the past month, he had realized that the Heavenly Treasure Gate was trying to recruit him. They often subtly tested whether he was a Spirit Practitioner and asked if he had a Spirit Practitioner behind him.

Lu Shaoyou was already familiar with the Heavenly Treasure Gate. They walked to a section dedicated to weapons, and Lu Wushuang picked up a light green long sword.

"Clang..." As the sword was drawn, a clear and resonant sound echoed. The three-foot-long sword gleamed with a cold light, and a series of dazzling reflections slid to the tip of the blade. "Not bad," Lu Shaoyou had discussed weapon knowledge with Uncle Nan many times, and although he hadn't personally forged a weapon, he could tell that this sword was excellent.

"I'll take this sword," a soft voice said, and a graceful figure appeared in front of Lu Wushuang and Lu Shaoyou. Seeing this figure, Lu Wushuang's face changed slightly.
