It was true that the Heaven Prison City had become much quieter recently. Although there were many people walking in the city, it was a far cry from the bustling scene of the past.
At noon, the Teleportation Formation lit up. Lu Li showed up with Ming Yu and walked directly into the auction house.
Very quickly, the Teleportation Array flashed continuously as countless people were teleported over. Many of the Patriarchs and Elders of the various families in the city came out.
The lifeless Heaven Prison City seemed to have come back to life after Lu Li arrived …
Led by Zhan Yang, Lu Li arrived at a side chamber where Du Zheng was sitting. Two pretty maids were massaging his shoulders.
He didn't stand up to greet Lu Li. Instead, he waved his hand and said with a smile, "Brother Lu, you are here. I won't stand on ceremony with you. Make yourself at home."
Du Zheng looked to be in his thirties or forties. He looked very refined and his smile was like a spring breeze. It was natural to have a good impression of him.
Lu Li actually felt comfortable that Ming Yu didn't exchange pleasantries. He waved his hand to Ming Yu, telling him to sit down as well.
He sat next to Du Zheng, grabbed a spirit fruit from the golden table, and started munching on it.
"Brother Lu, I heard that the Poisonous Widow went to your place yesterday?"
Du Zheng suddenly leaned over and revealed a wretched smile. "You didn't get tricked into bed by her, did you?
This woman is very scheming, you better be careful. "
When men talked about beauties, the two of them seemed to get closer. Lu Li rolled his eyes and said, "What are you thinking? I'm not that kind of person!"
"Hahaha!"
Du Zheng laughed and pulled a maid behind him into his arms. "Heroes love beauties, this is the nature of men.
The widow was a stunner, but she was a little scheming.
However, in this world, strength was the foundation. As long as one had strength and status, what kind of woman could he not have?
Brother Lu, just don't be obsessed with women. "
Lu Li shook his head and seriously said, "I am leaving soon. I don't have time to play. Chief Steward Du, you are overthinking.
This time, I came to ask Chief Steward Du to take care of the Bai and Liu families after I leave. "
"No problem!"
Du Zheng pulled the beauty in his arms up and said with a solemn expression, "Brother Lu, are you going back to the Lu family?
You don't want the Northern Desert? "
"You're right …"
Du Zheng thought about it and said with disappointment, "The Northern Desert is too small. The Central Plains is the stage for the strong. Brother Lu, you made the right decision.
I thought Brother Lu would stay in the Northern Desert for a while. I wanted to help you unify the Northern Desert. "
Du Zheng had just come up with a big plan to give Lu Li a big gift.
However, Lu Li didn't appreciate it at all. He turned around and was about to leave. Naturally, Lu Li was disappointed.
Although setting up this trap was as easy as lifting a finger for him and was not difficult at all, it still took a lot of effort.
Lu Li saw the disappointment in Du Zheng's eyes and pursed his lips.
It was true that Lu Li didn't like the gift, but Du Zheng had spent so much effort to befriend him. Lu Li had to show some respect. Lu Li said, "Brother Du, I am grateful that you think highly of me and are willing to make friends with me.
But I like to treat my friends with sincerity, just like the Liu Family. They once helped me, so I never abandoned them. This is my principle. "
Du Zheng was deep in thought. He picked up a cup of wine and drank it in one gulp. He said, "I was wrong. I will punish myself with a cup.
Alas … I have been at the Central Plains for a while and my thinking has become distorted.
I have forgotten that making friends is about sincerity, not about the exchange of interests.
Brother Lu, since you call me Brother Du, I can risk my life for you at any time if you need me. "
Du Zheng's tone was sincere and his words were touching. Lu Li, on the other hand, found it hard to believe.
Making friends was not something that could be done in a day or two, nor with one or two words. It took time to see through a person's heart.
Lu Li smiled lightly and said, "Brother Du, you are flattering me. I will be grateful if you can take care of the Bai Family and the Liu Family for me."
"Don't worry!"
Du Zheng said seriously, "As long as I am at the Northern Desert, you can come back and scold me if anything happens to the Bai Family or the Liu Family."
Lu Li could put his mind at ease after hearing Du Zheng's words. He clinked his cup with Du Zheng's and drank up.
Du Zheng thought about it and asked, "Brother Lu, is it because … someone from the Lu Family is here to pick you up?"
Du Zheng already knew a lot about Lu Li. Lu Li didn't hide anything and said, "No, I need to find the Lu Family by myself.
Brother Du, do you know where the Lu Family is? "
"Of course …"
Du Zheng frowned and said, "The Lu Family is at the Mystic Armor Region at the easternmost part of the Central Plains. If you don't have someone from the Lu Family to pick you up, it will be troublesome for you to go to the Lu Family."
"Troublesome?" Lu Li and Ming Yu looked at each other and asked, "How troublesome?
Brother Du, isn't the Du Family a big family at the Central Plains?
Can you send me to the Lu Family? "
"Big family?"
Du Zheng shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Brother Lu, compared to the families at the Northern Desert, the Du Family is indeed a big family. But in the Central Plains, it is nothing.
Also … the Du Family really can't help you at the Mystic Armor Region. If you need, I can ask our family to send two warriors of the Noble Lord Realm to protect you. "
Of course, Lu Li didn't need warriors of the Noble Lord Realm. With Ming Yu and Yu Huashen, he could fight against regular warriors of the Noble Lord Realm.
If powerful warriors of the Noble Lord Realm or Human Sovereign Realm wanted to kill him, the Du Family couldn't do anything even if they sent four or five warriors of the Noble Lord Realm.
Lu Li turned down Du Zheng's kindness. After a moment of silence, Du Zheng asked someone to take out a pen and paper. Du Zheng drew a dot on the east and north side of the paper and said, "The Mystic Armor Region you are going to is at the east. If you want to go to the Central Plains from the Northern Desert, you can only teleport to the north of the Central Plains.
So, you have to take Iron-armored Ships from the north of the Central Plains to the east of the Central Plains.
The Central Plains is a big place. Even if nothing goes wrong on the way, it will take you at least two years. "
"Iron-armored Ships?
There are no Teleportation Formations? "
Lu Li and Ming Yu were even more confused. There were many Teleportation Formations at the Northern Desert. How come there were none at the Central Plains?
Couldn't they take the Super Teleportation Formation from the north of the Central Plains directly to the Mystic Armor Region?
"There are Teleportation Formations!"
Du Zheng drew a circle on the map and explained, "At the Central Plains, only cities of the same level can be teleported. Cities of other levels cannot be teleported to each other.
The City of Mystic Armor is one of the 12 major cities so only the other 11 can be teleported.
There is a major city at the north of the Central Plains. But … the Teleportation Formation of the City of Mystic Armor was closed 10 years ago. Now, no Teleportation Formation can be used to teleport to the City of Mystic Armor. "
"The Teleportation Formation of the City of Mystic Armor was closed!"
Lu Li was even more confused. He asked, "Brother Du, you sound like the Lu Family is very powerful?
If so, why did they close the Teleportation Formation?
Did something happen to the Lu Family? "
"You don't know the situation of the Lu Family?
The Lu Family is one of the 12 Royal Families of the Central Plains. They have the strongest defensive Bloodline at the Central Plains. They are an Eighth-rank Family. They are the tyrants of the Central Plains. "
