This alley is very quiet. There are very few vendors on the road. Even if there are monks, most of them are taciturn and unwilling to say a word.
"Brother Lu, I was stopped in front of the Zhen family lobby before. What did you say to them? Why did you leave without thanking you?" Zhang Tao asked curiously.
Lu Yu said calmly: "It doesn't matter. The Zhen family's affairs will have little to do with me in the future."
The two stopped in front of a quiet house.
"Brother Lu, why did you bring me here?" Zhang Tao asked curiously.
Lu Yu pushed the door open.
In the courtyard, a very thin-looking woman suddenly sat.
This woman looked soft and frail, but her eyes were very determined. When she saw the door opened, she glanced over with expectant eyes.
"Lian'er!" Zhang Tao trembled, suddenly stepped forward and hugged the woman in front of him tightly.
He used to be a traveling businessman and a great general, with no fixed residence and his home all over the world.
But ever since he met the woman in front of him, Zhang Tao seemed to be possessed by an inner demon that he could never get rid of.
This is a fate that he cannot escape.
Lu Yu said: "If she had continued to stay in the Zhen family, she would have had the same fate. However, she chose to come out and get rid of the Zhen family identity and you."
Zhang Tao bowed to Lu Yu and said, "Brother Lu, I don't know how to repay you for your kindness."
Lu Yu waved his hand: "No need, you and I are old acquaintances, these are just casual things."
Lu Yu looked at Zhang Tao: "What are your plans next?"
Zhang Tao looked at Zhen Lian'er and said, "I don't plan to participate in the Tongtian Competition."
"It is certainly a good thing to be accepted as a disciple by a strong man in heaven, but if I have to be separated from the one I love, I would rather not live forever."
Zhang Tao sighed: "Tomorrow, I will take Lian'er to leave Lingxiao City and find a secluded place to spend the rest of my life in peace."
Lu Yu could feel that Zhang Tao's Taoist heart was wearing away.
If the Taoist heart is gone, people’s enterprising spirit will also be gone.
Lu Yu suddenly felt a powerful wave of spiritual energy coming from Zhang Tao's body.
Kaka!
There seemed to be a faint sound of breaking iron ropes in the air.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Tao's cultivation level began to increase rapidly.
In an instant, Zhang Tao has passed through three small realms and reached the late stage of Dharma Realm!
"It turns out that this is the test Master gave me." Zhang Tao murmured.
When a noble general digs someone else's grave, his descendants will be cursed and will have no descendants in their lifetime.
Zhang Tao's master wanted to free him from this curse.
"Brother Lu, I don't have any valuable treasures on me, and the Corpse Punishing Stick was left behind by my master. After much thought, I have decided that this is the only treasure I should give to Brother Lu."
Zhang Tao suddenly took out a gold stone.
This is a very heavy gold ingot, simple and natural. The entire gold ingot is embedded in the stone, with only one side exposed.
But just the exposed side revealed a golden seal script.
Lu Yu was shocked and took the gold stone.
After looking at it carefully for a moment, Lu Yu solemnly said: "Okay, I will accept this thing."
Zhang Tao said with relief: "It is my honor to be able to make you my friend."
Lu Yu left the courtyard, leaving the entire house to the two of them.
The moment he left the alley, Lu Yu suddenly stopped.
"Why, are you still planning to hide it?" Lu Yu said coldly.
From the end of the alley, several children of the Zhen family walked out with proud faces.
"Boy, come back with us and save us from doing anything." The Zhen family's children looked at Lu Yu greedily.
