Chapter 383: The combination of grace and power is no longer what it used to be.
After a while, the old butler came back and invited the two in, and Liu Fengji invited them in to meet him.

"Old housekeeper, I have a favor to ask of you!"

Zhou You suddenly spoke.

The old butler stopped, turned around and bowed slightly, "Please explain."

"Please keep my visit a secret today and don't let too many people know."

'Only the parties involved know that Lu Zhigang rescued Liu Fengji. Once it is leaked, Dayinshan will not let him go.

"I understand. The young master doesn't like trouble, so the servants won't say anything."

After walking for a while, Zhang Huaimin saw a row of living rooms in front and reminded Zhou You, "We're here!"

This is the area for receiving foreign guests. Most of the guests waiting to be interviewed are of extraordinary demeanor and are leaders in their respective industries.

Among them were several visitors from martial arts schools, with sharp eyes, and all the martial artists were mid- to late-stage masters.

"Old housekeeper, is it our turn?"

When the people in the living room saw the old butler coming, they came forward to ask questions with eager expressions.

Several of the martial artists recognized Zhang Huaimin and immediately imagined many plots in their minds. Could it be that Zhang Huaimin had climbed up the social ladder and had gained connections with the Liu family?
"Misunderstanding, I will bring a few guests in, please wait a moment!"

Zhang Huaimin shut up. He had made a mistake. It turned out that the location was not here.

Suddenly they realized that the atmosphere around them was not right. Everyone in the living room looked at them with shock and curiosity.

What kind of identity allows him to go deeper into the mansion?
Among them, there are many industry giants, famous martial artists, and even great scholars. It is already a supreme honor to be able to enter as a guest, and there are not many people in the entire city who have this honor!
There was actually a stranger who got in before them.

The old butler was polite, apologized to everyone, and continued to walk inside with Zhou You.

The second door is the second door from the main door.

Noble families have multiple doors and houses. The larger the area and the more partitions there are, the more complicated the gates are. Some have nine, eighteen or even twenty-seven doors.

The Xu and Qi families in Gongliang City have five or six gates.

According to legend, the gate of a noble family is a world of its own, separating different areas with walls. People living behind the gate usually move along both sides of the wall. Some servants are even born within the wall until they die, and never step out of the gate.

Each gate is guarded by a retainer, and each of them is a powerful person.

Zhang Huaimin dared to take action at the main gate, but he became more obedient when he reached the second gate.

Although he boasted and was proud of having been a guest of an aristocratic family, that was a small family and could not be compared with the Liu family.

The second gate alone was guarded by four high-level martial artists, each with a gaze as sharp as a needle.

The old butler knocked on the door, and the guests greeted him and opened the door, looking at Zhou You and Zhang Huaimin for a few more times.

An intermediate martial artist and a junior martial artist, they don't look like new disciples at all!

Since he could get the old butler to lead the way into the second door, it was obvious that he was at least a relative. Well, I'll ask around later.

Just when Zhou You thought he would keep walking like this and pass a level like playing a game, the old butler told him that they had arrived.

The place where Liu Fengji was waiting for him was beside a stone pond inside the double gate.

"Brother Lu, why did you come to see me now?"

Liu Fengji is no longer the same person as before. As a member of the family, although he is wearing casual clothes, he exudes nobleness.

No matter how I look at it, I can’t remember how miserable I looked back then!
"Master Liu, this is my sworn brother Zhang Huaimin, we are here to greet you together."

Liu Fengji nodded at him and gestured for him to find a place to sit.

Zhang Huaimin was very quiet. He found a stone bench that would not interfere with their conversation but was not too far away and sat down.

A waterfall beside the stone pond cascades down through the rockery, bringing cool air and water mist.

The shades of the surrounding trees swayed, covering most of the ground. The stone benches seemed to grow out of the ground. They looked disordered but actually had some kind of chaotic yet orderly distribution characteristics.

Zhou You sat down and clasped his fists, saying, "Master Liu, I need a favor from you." He placed the belt in front of him, "I need the poisonous dragon saliva, and I am willing to exchange it for the promise I made."

"Don't mention this yet!"

Liu Fengji glanced at the belt, turned around and said to the little servant Xuer, "Bring the tea!"

He turned around and said to Zhou You, "Brother Lu, I asked about your situation after I got home and solved some hidden dangers for you without permission."

"Some people suspected that the death of Guo Laoguan, the prison official, was related to you..."

Hearing this, Zhang Huaimin's body tensed up.

The death of Guo Laoguan was indeed related to Zhou You. I thought it had been forgotten, but I didn't expect that there was still a beginning and an end to the matter.

The night before the incident, Zhang Huaimin invited Guo Laoguan to drink. Zhou You was present at the time, and there were witnesses nearby.

Afterwards, Guo Laoguan was killed by a poisonous snake.

If someone were to make an association, Lu Zhigang, Zhou You's incarnation, would be highly suspicious.

Behind them is the behemoth that is the city gate guards. If they really want to investigate, both Zhou You and Zhang Huaimin will be in trouble.

"I will take care of everything for you. From now on, no one will dare to connect you with this matter."

Liu Fengji smiled slightly.

Zhou You remained silent in response. He spoke so lightly that it was unknown how much power the noble family had mobilized.

He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you!"

If only life could be like our first encounter!

At that time, Liu Fengji was being hunted down and was in a miserable state. He had only one servant boy by his side. When he asked him for help, he was very humble and behaved very courteously and approachably.

Now when I meet him again at the Liu family in the capital city, although he is still a familiar face, he has already used more scheming and means.

Liu Fengji mentioned this matter, seemingly to solve his problem, but in fact it was telling Zhou You that he knew him well.

What's more, it means that I can solve your problems without any effort, and vice versa.

A very classic way to control people!

"As for Qianmiantang, I have also informed them that anyone who intends to offer a reward for you must first notify my Liu family."

After traveling around the capital for a while, it was inevitable that he would kill people and make enemies, but he still hadn't seen any reward. It turned out to be because of this.

"Thank you very much!"

Zhou You didn't wait for the other party to speak, "As the saying goes, things never happen more than three times. You helped me with two things, and you can add one more to make it three. How about that be considered as fulfilling one of my promises?"

He pointed at Zhang Huaimin beside him and said, "My sworn brother is very talented. Can you accept him as a guest of the Liu family?"

Zhang Huaimin was surprised. He didn't expect Zhou You still remembered him.

What were the first two things? One was to deal with the city gate guards, and the other was to deal with Qianmiantang. Both organizations were large and powerful, with chains all over the world. Zhou You put solving his own employment problem on the same level, which was embarrassing for Lao Zhang!
"Brother Lu is loyal, I will definitely help him."

Liu Fengji nodded to Zhang Huaimin, "Master Zhang, which door do you want to guard? I forgot to tell you that my Liu family has eleven doors."

"Just look at the gate."

Zhang Huaimin's old face turned red. He knew that the further inside the gate one went, the better the treatment the guests would receive.

But he also knew his own weight, which was comparable to Lan Zhirou, so being able to watch the gate was enough for him.

"Well, from now on, the safety of the Liu family will be in your hands."

Liu Fengji turned to Zhou You and said, "Brother Lu, do you think that my promise of using my personal belongings as a token of trust is worth this?"

Isn't it?
