Chapter 380 – The Governor’s Banque (2/2)

In the later days, Lei Yu bought a large manor in the Phoenix Cloud City and hired many servants and maids. Lei Yu was extravagant with his money so those servants and maids did their jobs well. The reason why he was so extravagant with his spending was because the wealth in his Universal Pouch was capable of feeding a million strong army in this chaotic era. Of course, there was no need to so he spent on whatever he wanted.

During this period, Lei Yu concentrated on helping Zhou Jun Sheng find internal energy within his body. He slowly brought Zhou Jun Sheng to the world of cultivation. Lei Yu was only able to protect him in the present and not the future. In order to allow someone to always live in peace, he had to make him much stronger. This was the only thing Lei Yu could help him with.

At this time, if we say Lei Yu’s relationship with Zhou Jun Sheng and his mother was only based on grace and benevolence, it would seem a bit too detached. Those two had already become sworn brothers.

One year later, Lei Yu and Zhou Jun Sheng were outside the city burying his mother. They two of them weren’t sad because when Zhou Jun Sheng’s mother left this world with a smile on her face. To explain it clearer, it meant she didn’t feel any pain. In her old age, she was able to meet with Lei Yu who was a God like existence, and her son was able to gain the care of this God, she was already very content.

Lei Yu sighed as he looked at all these burial mounds in front of him. “Life is too short. Some people live their whole lives without experiencing anything remarkable. Some people lead remarkable lives yet cannot protect it forever. Sigh…”

“Little Yu, how come you suddenly sound so emotional?” Jun Sheng turned around to ask Lei Yu.

Lei Yu smiled in melancholy. “It’s been one year now. My lover, brothers, and friends in another world are probably out of their minds with anxiousness. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to leave this place.”

“Why not just get married and have kids here for the rest of your life?” Jun Sheng replied as he was unwilling to see Lei Yu leave.

Lei Yu faintly smiled: “Those people are too important to me so I need to find a way to leave this place. Even if I were to get married and have kids here, my longevity is unlimited. Whoever follows me will be hurt. How many times will I witness my lover dying from old age? How many times will I experience such heartache?”

“Your longevity… is unlimited?” Zhou Jun Sheng’s eyes widened with a shocked expression.

“We’ll talk more after we head back!” Lei Yu patted his shoulder before getting on the carriage first. Zhou Jun Sheng then quickly followed.

The dozen of servants and maids started following behind the carriage. Within this year, Lei Yu had been rather idle. He took life at a leisurely pace but never stopped his training. His cultivation level would quietly increase every single moment and the only headache he had was he couldn’t leave this place. Up to now, there were no signs of what those three tests the Earth Vein had given him were.”

The scars on Zhou Jun Sheng’s body had gradually disappeared and were no longer as terrifying to look at like before. After cultivating this past year, Zhou Jun Sheng’s strength had increased quite a bit. From his originally strength of being slightly stronger than a First Order Warrior, he had now reached the standards of a Fourth Order Warrior. To have this kind of power in this chaotic era was considered not too bad already.

“What about opening up a martial arts school and accepting students?” Lei Yu proposed while they were sitting in the manor’s main hall.

Zhou Jun Sheng nodded in agreement since he rarely clashed with Lei Yu’s ideas. The task of teaching martial arts would naturally be on Zhou Jun Sheng’s shoulder since it was impossible for Lei Yu to show himself.

Three days later, everything was ready and they only waited to find an auspicious day.

“Two manor lords, our Lord Governor has setup a banquet and have invited you two to attend!” After arriving at the manor, a civil official in his official robes saw them two and spoke out.

Lei Yu shook his head, “Give my thanks to the Lord Governor for his kind intentions, but I usually don’t like making public appearances so I’ll have to apologize in advance.”
