The House Meeting came to an end. The next day, Lu Ming, Li Ping, and Qiu Yue moved back into the Lord’s Residence once again.

As he was standing in front of the residence gates, his mind was filled with thoughts.

All of this was thanks to the change brought by the advancement of his power.

If he was still the piece of trash whose blood meridians had been stripped from him, he would be unable to save his own life, let alone move back into the Lord’s Residence. Besides that, Li Ping and Qiu Yue would also be unable to live a smooth life.

However, everything changed because of his sudden rise. Not only did he completely disrupt Lu Yunxiong and Lu Yao’s plans, but he also snatched back the Lord’s Residence. Li Ping was also guaranteed a comfortable life from now on.

As the descendant of the Lu Family’s main bloodline, Lu Ming could succeed as the Lord whenever he wanted as long as he felt like it.

However, it was far from enough as all this was merely the beginning. Lu Ming knew that there were greater challenges awaiting him in the Mystical Sword Sect. He could not slow down for a single moment.

“Ming’er, let’s go in. The room has been tidied up.” Li Ping smiled as she walked out with a sword in hand.

The Elder Council sent four young maids over specifically to serve Li Ping and Lu Ming, so the Lord’s Residence was quickly cleared of Lu Yao and the other’s possessions.

“Ming’er, now that you have a foothold in martial arts, you should use the spiritual weapon that your father sent back!” Li Ping handed the sword in her hands over to Lu Ming.

This sword, which had been taken by Lu Chuan, was once again back in their hands.

Lu Ming nodded and took the sword as he walked into the residence together with Li Ping.

After he returned to his room, he started cultivating.

Having consumed the Spirit Soul Pill a few days ago, his cultivation spiked from top of First Grade Warrior Realm to beginner of Third Grade Warrior Realm. After ascending two grades in one go, it was inevitable that his foundation would be unsteady, thus he needed to consolidate it.

After cultivating the True War Dragon Technique for a few hours, Lu Ming entered the Supreme Shrine and started to cultivate his martial arts skills.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the eighth day, Lu Ming was cultivating in the Supreme Shrine when he sensed a commotion outside, so he proceeded to exit the Supreme Shrine.

He heard Qiu Yue’s voice coming from outside his room the moment he went out. “Young Master, Lu Bing is here to pay his respects.”

“Lu Bing?” Startled, Lu Ming opened his door and walked out.

Qiu Yue nodded. “Young Master, do you wish to see him?”

“Sure I do. Why not?” Lu Ming smiled.

When he reached the living room, he saw Lu Bing pacing anxiously.

Lu Bing smiled the second he saw Lu Ming. “Master Ming, you’ve finally come!”

Lu Ming noticed the change in how Lu Bing addressed him. He smiled feebly as he sat on the main seat absentmindedly. “Why have you come to me?”

Lu Bing suddenly clasped his fist at Lu Ming. “Master Ming, I’ve come to apologize today. I was blind to your talent before and even offended you before. I hope that you’ll be gracious enough not to hold a grudge.”

“Lu Bing, the Fifth Branch Elder asked you to come, didn’t he?” Lu Ming asked.

“You’re right. My father asked me to come, but it is aligned with my aim as well. Master Ming, there are 5,000 silver notes here which I hope you’ll graciously accept.” Lu Bing took out a stack of silver notes and handed it over to Lu Ming.

“Alright. Qiu Yue, help me accept it.”

Lu Ming smiled. To be frank, he had never once thought about Lu Bing, but since he came to apologize with money in hand, why should he not accept it?

Qiu Yue went up to take the silver notes, her small face flushed with excitement. She had never seen so many silver notes before!

Although it pained Lu Bing, he forced a smile. “Thank you, Master Ming, I shall take my leave now.”

Just after Lu Bing had left, another maid walked up to report, “Young Master, the Lord of the Li Family has come to pay his respects.”
