Lu Zhenghai's heart pounded.
Damn, is Duke Nings Residence that rich? These martial arts resources are quite impressive!
And each one was something he needed.
Especially the Di Rank Lower Grade Martial Skill, "Dragon Imprisoning Palm," which couldn't even be bought with money.
Even within Duke Nings Residence, this Martial Skill must be ranked quite high, right?
Yuan Chengye was really going all out to get him to fall into the trap.
"Heir Yuan is truly infatuated with Mu Wan!"
Lu Zhenghai exclaimed, his face slightly flushed.
This flush was partly due to genuine excitement over these martial arts resources.
On the other hand, it was a bit of a pretense, used to deceive Yuan Chengye.
"Chief Lu, these martial arts resources are right here. As long as you agree, take them immediately. However, if the transaction is completed, and we're both happy, you'll have to join me for a few drinks..." Yuan Chengye said with a smile, "Luoshui Tower is a proper tavern; there's no reason not to drink once you're inside, is there?"
In any case, he just wanted Lu Zhenghai to drink!
Once Lu Zhenghai drank, he would immediately turn hostile and cancel the transaction.
Lu Zhenghai wouldn't be able to take these martial arts resources with him.
Worth hundreds of thousands of taels, even with Duke Nings Residence's deep foundation, it would still be a painful loss!
How could they possibly be offered for a trade?
"Heir Yuan, you're making things very difficult for me!" Lu Zhenghai feigned a conflicted expression.
"Young Master Lu, why worry about not having a wife? Besides, Young Master Lu already has a wife, why insist on Pei Muwan? Strength is the most important thing. With these martial arts resources, Young Master Lu can at least advance several minor Realms in a short time." Yuan Chengye's face was full of encouragement.
As he spoke, Yuan Chengye even picked up the wine pot and poured a cup of wine into the goblet in front of Lu Zhenghai: "Drink, Young Master Lu, if you don't drink, I'll be angry!"
"Why do I feel that Heir Yuan doesn't care whether I agree to your so-called transaction? He seems more concerned about whether I drink or not?" Lu Zhenghai said meaningfully.
Yuan Chengye's face stiffened slightly, thinking Lu Zhenghai had discovered something.
However, Lu Zhenghai suddenly changed the topic: "Drinking is fine, but..."
Lu Zhenghai suddenly stood up, holding the wine cup, and walked towards the window, looking outside.
It was already getting dark, and the moon had risen.
"But what?" Yuan Chengye was a little excited.
"However, I, Lu, want to drink and admire the moon, and as for Heir Yuan, you will stand by and pour my wine!" Lu Zhenghai turned his head and looked at Yuan Chengye.
"Presumptuous!" Zhang Yan, who was not far away, had a face full of fury, with even killing intent in his eyes.
"Shut up..." Yuan Chengye rebuked Zhang Yan, but then actually stood up.
Yuan Chengye held a jar of wine in his hand and walked towards the window.
A cruel glint flashed across Lu Zhenghai's lips.
He was creating an opportunity to stand up, face Yuan Chengye, and be in extremely close proximity.
At the same time, Yuan Chengye was entirely focused on the wine and was unguarded.
This way... he could easily kick Yuan Chengye, turning him into a eunuch.
Otherwise, sitting there, face to face, it would be difficult to exert force!
As for Yuan Chengye being at the Grandmaster Realm Fifth Layer... so what? Is it possible that the lower body of a Grandmaster Realm Fifth Layer expert is made of iron?
As long as he could kick him, Yuan Chengye would become a eunuch.
As for whether Lu Zhenghai could leave this private room after succeeding, wasn't Aunt Yan there?!
When they entered the private room earlier, Aunt Yan had sent a sound transmission, saying that Yuan Chengye's Guardian was also in this private room, but he was only at the Great Grandmaster First Layer.
The prestige of a Duke's Heir was, after all, quite a bit less than that of a princess or the granddaughter of a chief civil official.
With Aunt Yan, a terrifying existence at the Great Grandmaster Sixth Layer, he was 100% certain he could leave this private room unharmed.
The next moment, Yuan Chengye, carrying a jar of spiritual wine, had already walked to the window, arriving in front of Lu Zhenghai.
The distance between them was only about half a meter.
Yuan Chengye was all smiles, bending slightly to pour wine for Lu Zhenghai.
Damn it, to trick Lu Zhenghai into drinking the impotence-inducing wine, Yuan Chengye was truly willing to temporarily act like a subordinate.
Yuan Chengye had no guard whatsoever, only excitement.
He seemed to already see Lu Zhenghai's despair after taking the impotence-inducing wine, becoming a living eunuch from then on.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
Lu Zhenghai, you little bastard who stole my goddess, you deserve to be impotent!
As for Zhang Yan, who was not far away, and the Guardian hidden in the private room, they had no vigilance at all at this moment.
Not to mention Lu Zhenghai's identity, he was just an Embroidered Uniform Guard Banner Commander, an ant among ants compared to the Young Master of the Heir's status.
As for their own strength, Lu Zhenghai was at the Innate Realm, while the Young Master of the Heir was at the Grandmaster Realm Fifth Layer.
Lu Zhenghai was far from being the Young Master of the Heir's opponent, so what was there to be vigilant about?
Even if Lu Zhenghai had ten thousand times the courage, he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on the Young Master of the Heir!
But the next moment.
Suddenly, Lu Zhenghai used all his strength, even employing his true essence.
He raised one foot!
And fiercely kicked Yuan Chengye's lower body from bottom to top.
Solidly.
With a "smack!" a sound that declared another eunuch had been added to this high-martial ancient world.
Because of the excessive force.
He even suspected that Yuan Chengye's pubic bone and other structures were probably shattered.
"Ah ah ah ah..."
An indescribable pain, worse than death, exploded directly in Yuan Chengye's mind.
Yuan Chengye fell to the ground, clutching his lower body tightly with both hands, screaming and twitching all over. A moment later, he fainted.
"Young Master of the Heir!!!" Zhang Yan roared as he pounced forward.
Zhang Yan was a Grandmaster Realm First Layer existence, not particularly strong.
But he was a Grandmaster Realm nonetheless, posing a threat to Lu Zhenghai.
However.
Zhang Yan suddenly trembled, then his face turned ashen.
Because Aunt Yan's aura had locked onto him.
He was very certain that if he dared to move again, he would die.
Including the Great Grandmaster First Layer Guardian hidden in the shadows, he was also locked onto by Aunt Yan's aura.
Zhang Yan's voice was hoarse, and he stared at Lu Zhenghai with extreme venom, roaring:
"You... you... the Young Master of the Heir kindly invited you to drink, and even offered so many martial arts resources, yet you resorted to such a vicious hand?!"
"The Young Master of the Heir is the only legitimate direct descendant of Duke Nings Residence."
"If he is truly crippled by you, Duke Ning will not let you go, the Duke's wife will not let you go, and even the Great Yu Imperial Family will not let you go!"
... Lu Zhenghai's face was full of amusement and mockery:
"You're right."
"However, let me remind you, your Young Master of the Heir is going to inherit the Duke's position in the future."
"Hehe, if the fact that I kicked him into a eunuch is known by his father, his mother, and even the Great Yu Imperial Family..."
"My fate will certainly not be good."
"But what about him?"
"Can he still keep his position as the Young Master of the Heir?"
"Can a eunuch be a Young Master of the Heir? Can he inherit the Duke's position?"
Lu Zhenghai's face was full of playful and triumphant smiles.
He didn't just thoughtlessly cripple Yuan Chengye; he had absolute certainty.
He was sure that Yuan Chengye would not dare to tell anyone else the fact that he had become a eunuch.
"..."
Zhang Yan's face was pale, countless curses gathered in his mouth, but he couldn't utter a single one.
He was desperate.
He knew Lu Zhenghai was right.
"Moreover..." Lu Zhenghai lifted his foot and walked towards the table.
He collected all the martial arts resources that Yuan Chengye had used as bait.
Lu Zhenghai turned to look at Zhang Yan:
"Moreover, I am well aware of the fact that Yuan Chengye has become a eunuch."
"If you want me to keep quiet, you'll have to keep giving me benefits."
"Hmm, within three days, have your Young Master of the Heir gather 300,000 taels and send it to Lu Residence."
"This is an order and a demand, not a negotiation!"
... That's right, not only would he kick him into a eunuch.
He would also use the fact that "you became a eunuch" to exploit him for life.
Hmm, one secret to exploit for a lifetime.
