Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 33 A Long Journey: Escorting Master Liu
"what?"

"Senior brother, this isn't right."

"Shouldn't the graduation ceremony be a gift of gratitude from the apprentice to the master?"

"Why did you give it to my junior brother?"

"That's against the rules."

"This is too valuable, I can't accept it."

I love a piece of firewood. My hands, holding the gift, trembled slightly.

The gift is too expensive.

The gift Lu Yuan gave him upon graduation was actually a shop contract.

This is not a lease, but a contract for the shop.

It contains information such as the store's location and size.

Lu Yuan gave him a shop.

A well-furnished blacksmith shop in an excellent location.

This is too valuable.

Given the location and size of this shop, it could definitely fetch several hundred taels, or even over a thousand taels, if sold normally.

The most important thing.

Shouldn't the graduation ceremony be a gift from the disciple to the master?
Although I Love a Piece of Firewood is a modern person, he is not a young man. He still understands the rules of apprenticeship.

But he was hesitant to accept the gift in front of him.

"rule?"

"Whose rules are you referring to?"

"In this Forget-Worry County, my rules are the only rules."

"Other people's graduation ceremony is a gift from the disciple to the master, but in my Lu family, the graduation ceremony is a gift from the master to the disciple."

"These are my rules, Lu Yuan's rules."

Lu Yuan's tone was domineering.

It gives off a strong sense of a domineering CEO.

"I Love a Piece of Firewood" is the first time I've experienced the treatment of a female lead in a domineering CEO novel.

To be honest, it's fantastic.

I need more of these domineering CEO-type senior brothers, thank you.

You can also interpret this as a thank-you gift from me.

"Thank you for keeping the old man company all this time."

"Small gifts are not enough to show respect."

Lu Yuan smiled.

I like Yi Genchai's character; he's a very good person.

He deserves this gift.

"Xiao Jin, please accept it."

"Xiao Yuan is not short of money."

"Besides, how can you improve your skills if you don't open a shop?"

"The craft of blacksmithing requires time to hone and improve."

"I'll come to the store to see you when I have time in the future. You can't let your skills decline."

Old Lu persuaded me to accept the gift, saying I loved a piece of firewood.

"Thank you, Master Xie. Thank you, Senior Brother Xie."

"thanks, thanks."

I love a piece of firewood that remains silent, only kneeling and kowtowing.

At this moment, he finally felt a touch of warmth from the game world.

For him, this world was already a real world.

NPCs are no longer just abstract data, but real human beings with flesh and blood and emotions.

"Alright, alright, stop being so effeminate."

"Why is there so much going on with just one shop?"

"When you have time, take care of yourself. You don't wash your hair or take a shower, and you smell terrible."

"Pack yourself up properly, so you don't embarrass the old man at the next training ceremony."

"Also, don't give Yiyi so many candied hawthorns anymore. Her teeth are rotten. Chen Haohao has complained to me about it several times. You should pay more attention to this. Even if you do give them some, do it secretly and don't let anyone see, okay?"

"Understood, senior brother, I understand. I'll be more careful in the future."

"That's okay."

"Old Lu, I'm going on a long trip tomorrow and won't be back for about a month or two."

"A long journey? Where to? Aren't you going to the graduation ceremony?"

Old Lu frowned upon hearing this.

"I can't participate, it's urgent."

"I'm going to Hangzhou."

Lu Yuan explained.

"so far?"

"What urgent matter could require you to travel so far?"

Old Lu was puzzled. What urgent matter required such a long journey?

Furthermore, what does what happened in Hangzhou have to do with their Wangyou County?
Do we still need Lu Yuan to go there in person?
"Do you remember Black Mountain Village from last month?"

"Yeah, remember."

"The leader of Black Mountain Stronghold is a remnant of the Demon Yin Sect." "A few days ago, this was reported to the imperial court. The court was very angry, and the emperor personally ordered a thorough investigation. This task was assigned to the Six Doors and the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

“A few days ago, the two departments gathered forces from both the righteous and the evil factions in Hangzhou.”

"Because the leader of Black Mountain Village died at my hands, I need to go to Hangzhou to hand over some work."

"Don't worry, this has little to do with me. I'll be back after I hand over the reins."

Lu Yuan gave a few words of advice.

This is a feud between the Demon Yin Sect and the imperial court, as well as other martial arts factions; it has nothing to do with him.

He had no intention of getting involved.

Of course, this is on the premise that the remnants of the Demon Yin Sect are not implicated because of the Black Mountain Stronghold's leader.

If the people of the Demon Yin Sect insist on dragging him into it...

Then don't blame him for being ruthless.

Lu Yuan hates trouble the most.

"The Demon Yin Sect, ah, that's definitely a problem."

"Be careful, don't let something unexpected happen."

"Although you are exceptionally strong, those guys from the Demon Yin Sect are troublesome and difficult to deal with. Their methods are unpredictable, and it's easy to fall into their traps."

You must be extremely careful.

Although Lao Lu knew that Lu Yuan was very strong, he was still quite worried.

The child travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried.

Although Lu Yuan doesn't have a mother, he does have a father.

As a father, Lao Lu also worries about Lu Yuan.

"Calm down."

"I'm strong."

Lu Yuan remained calm; he didn't even take the Demon Yin Sect seriously.

Because no matter how strong, how many people, or how insidious the methods of the Demon Yin Sect are, they are a joke in the face of Lu Yuan's absolute numbers.

There's nothing he can't solve with a single punch.

If so, then two punches.

Three punches.

Countless punches.

Until you beat the other person to death, smash them to pieces, and scatter them.

It was blasted into nothingness.

He has the strength.

……

Early the next morning.

Lu Yuan arrived at the yamen early, but the yamen staff had arrived even earlier and had been waiting for him for a long time.

Master Liu was bound hand and foot and allowed to be dragged into the prison cart by Constable Sun and others.

"Chief Constable, the prisoner is ready."

"We can set off at any time."

Lu Yuan looked at the group and nodded.

"Well, let's go."

"We'll go early and come back early."

"By the way, Lao Sun, keep an eye on the prisoners."

"Don't let him die."

Lu Yuan pointed to the dead-looking Liu Yuanwai.

Originally, Master Liu should have been executed long ago, but because he had connections with the remnants of the Demon Yin Sect, he could not die so easily.

Because the higher-ups need to personally review his case.

In this situation, the only option is to escort him to Hangzhou and hand him over to the Six Doors and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

His family members, in principle, should also be escorted to Hangzhou.

However, Magistrate Chen was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see Liu's family members involved, so he sold them off early on.

This can be considered as saving the lives of Liu Yuanwai's family.

After all, once you're in the hands of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, don't even think about coming out alive.

"Chief Constable, don't worry, I won't die."

"I will not die before I reach Hangzhou."

Master Liu opened his eyes and looked at Lu Yuan with a bitter smile.

He knows his business very well.

If he had died prematurely.

His family is doomed.

The Imperial Guards will not let his family off the hook.

Only if he is delivered alive to Hangzhou will his family have a chance to survive.

"It's good to know."

"The Chief Constable."

"Ok?"

"Thank you."
