The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Lu Yao and Yi Xiaochuan were talking in front of the dog meat stall.

Yi Xiaochuan took out his phone, and just as he opened the picture, the phone made a shutdown sound.

"Why did the battery die at such a crucial moment?"

Yi Xiaochuan looked at his phone, which was switched off, and made a bitter face.

"It's already quite impressive that this battery lasted from when you traveled here to the present day."

Lu Yao was very curious about the brand of this phone, as it had lasted for almost two years.

"I was originally going to show Brother Yao some clues."

Yi Xiaochuan scratched his head, looking regretful.

Yi Xiaochuan believed that as long as he found Tangwu Mountain, he could return to the modern world, but unfortunately, it was just a beautiful fantasy.

"It's alright, Xiaochuan, you know I don't need to look."

Lu Yao picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said softly.

"Let's go back first."

Lu Yao got up, intending to go back to the Lü residence to check on the situation.

The two then left the dog meat stall and headed towards the Lü residence.

……

The two arrived at the gate of the Lü residence and saw a large crowd gathered there, eager to see Lord Lü.

Lu Gong had a good reputation in the vicinity of Pei County, and many local gentry came to visit him.

After returning to the Lü residence, the two parted ways and went to their respective rooms.

Yi Xiaochuan had a sudden inspiration and, just like in the original story, thought of making a generator to charge his phone. He went off to collect materials on his own.

Lu Yao unexpectedly encountered Lü Su while passing by a side room of the Lü residence.

"Greetings, Young Master Lu."

Upon seeing Lu Yao, Lü Su became somewhat nervous and clutched the box in her hands even tighter.

"So it's Susu. You left in such a hurry. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Seeing that Lü Su was carrying a wooden box and walking in a hurry, Lu Yao asked softly.

After hesitating for a moment, Lü Su told Lu Yao about it.

It turned out that Lu Gong's family had just arrived in Pei County and had been robbed in the bamboo forest, so they were short of money.

Originally, the Lü family planned to open a cloth shop in Pei County, but unfortunately, all the cloth was damaged along the way.

The two unknowingly walked to a pavilion and sat down inside.

"These are the pieces of jewelry I've kept over the years. I plan to pawn them to help my father in times of need."

Lu Su touched the wooden box in her arms, revealing a hint of reluctance.

These pieces of jewelry were her most cherished possessions, and she felt a little sad for a moment.

"I see. If the worry is only about money, I do have a solution to this problem."

After understanding the cause and effect, Lu Yao realized that he had never valued gold and silver.

Not to mention the glass art pieces he brought from modern times, he also acquired a lot of belongings while in Xianyang and had a considerable amount of money.

Upon hearing that Lu Yao had a solution, Lü Su looked at him with a very cute expression.

"Let's go and see Lord Lü together."

Lu Yao stood up and smiled leisurely at Lü Su.

Lu Su stared at the man in front of her, somewhat mesmerized.

He rescued her from the bad guys, and his confident and composed demeanor, along with his cheerful conversation, deeply attracted her.

"Susu, Susu."

Lu Yao, who had stood up, saw that Lü Su did not react and was staring at him blankly, so he walked up to Lü Su, waved his hand, and called out softly.

"Ah! Let's go, let's go."

Lu Su came to her senses and saw that Lu Yao's face was flushed with embarrassment. She quickly got up and walked ahead.

Seeing this, Lu Yao smiled slightly and followed.

……

When the two arrived at where Lü Gong was, Yi Xiaochuan and Lü Zhi were also there.

"Father, Young Master Lu said he has a way to solve the current problems, so I brought him here."

Lu Su spoke softly to Lu Gong.

"Oh? Both of you are indeed young talents. Just now, Young Master Yi also came up with a solution for me."

Lu Gong stroked his beard with a pleased expression and exclaimed in admiration.

Then Lu Gong explained Yi Xiaochuan's method.

Lu Yao frowned slightly after hearing this.

The original method was still used: under the pretext of opening a private school, the gentry of Pei County donated money, and seats were auctioned off through a charity gala.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yao decided to tell Lu Gong about the drawbacks of this method.

"Although Master Lü's method can bring him wealth, it will also establish a teacher-student relationship with many students in Pei County. If there are any entanglements in the future, there will likely be a lot of trouble."

The teacher-student relationship in the Qin Dynasty was unlike that in modern times. The concepts of Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher were not just empty words.

If those students commit any crimes in the future, Mr. Lü, as their teacher, will inevitably be implicated.

After hearing this, Lu Gong fell into deep thought, and upon careful consideration, he realized that there were indeed potential problems.

"I wonder what Young Master Lu's method is?"

Lu Gong planned to listen to Lu Yao's method first before making a decision.

“My family is quite wealthy, and I would like to borrow some money from you, sir, for emergency use.”

Lu Yao laughed heartily and said with a relaxed expression.

Yi Xiaochuan, standing to the side, looked at Lu Yao in shock. "We're both time travelers, so why are you so rich?"

Lu Gong was also taken aback when he heard this, not expecting that Lu Yao in front of him was a wealthy man.

"May I ask where Young Master Lu is from?"

Lu Gong was unsure about Lu Yao's background and asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, Master Lü. My parents have long since passed away, so I can use this money as I see fit."

Lu Yao smiled and explained to him.

After thinking it over, Lu Gong decided to borrow money from Lu Yao first, since Lu Yao's analysis showed that Yi Xiaochuan's method was indeed risky.

In addition, it was also out of trust in Lu Yao's character; otherwise, he would have preferred to use Yi Xiaochuan's method.

Lu Yao quickly handed over several pieces of gold to Lü Gong, which made Lü Gong think even more highly of Lu Yao.

After everyone dispersed, Yi Xiaochuan went to continue making his generator, while Lü Su was arranged by Lü Gong to accompany Lu Yao on a tour of the Lü residence.

Only Lü Zhi and Lü Gong remained in the room.

"Father, I never expected Young Master Lu to be so generous."

Empress Lü was shocked to see that Lu Yao had borrowed fifty taels of gold directly from the Lü family.

"Yes, this young master Lu is truly a man of great talent and his family background must be extraordinary."

Lu Gong looked at the gold on the table, stroked his beard, and shook his head.

"I've noticed that Young Master Lu and Susu have been getting quite close lately. Father, do you have any thoughts on this?"

Empress Lü Zhi's mind raced, and she asked Lü Gong for his opinion.

Empress Lü Zhi was able to become the first wife of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, so she must have been very quick-witted.

Lu Gong nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

"Then I'll find an opportunity to find out what Young Master Lu thinks. Zhi'er, you should also ask Su'er what she thinks."

Lu Gong was also very satisfied with Lu Yao. If his family background was strong, that would be an even bigger plus.

"I understand, then I'll take my leave."

After leaving the room, Lü Zhi planned to ask Lü Su what he thought.

……

As evening approached, Lu Yao and Lü Su returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Lu Yao and Yi Xiaochuan's rooms are next to each other. When passing by Yi Xiaochuan's room, the door was not closed, and Yi Xiaochuan was busy.

"How's the generator coming along?"

Lu Yao walked into the room and looked at Yi Xiaochuan with a smile.

"It's almost done, hahaha, it's perfect that you're here too, Yao Ge, let's witness this miraculous moment together."

Yi Xiaochuan laughed and gestured for Lu Yao to sit down.

"You made this with gold thread? It must be expensive."

Looking at the remaining ball of gold thread beside him, Lu Yao naturally knew where it came from.

"This was found by Lü Zhi. She's quite capable; she managed to find this."

Yi Xiaochuan chuckled and said admiringly.

Lu Yao shook his head. Yi Xiaochuan's reaction was indeed slow. Perhaps it was because Lü Zhi was different from modern girls, which made him react slowly.

Of course, Lu Yao wouldn't make a fool of himself by saying it outright; only he could truly understand the situation.
