"Lord Yan, you have come to my mansion to show off your newly acquired power or what?" Lord Qing Shan Rou faced his friend with a cold gaze. Yet, there was a tint of friendliness in his aura that could only be understood by those who were close to him.
The other man grinned upon seeing the master of the mansion. Their outfits were very contrasted as the man's robe was color white that was adorned with black golden thread.
"I do not dare to show off. Hehe, If there is something that I will brag at you, it would not be my power," lord Yan clicked his tongue and pouted.
Lord Qing Shan Rou's face turned darker after knowing that the man may just come to his mansion to disturb him. "Then scram! I am busy and you came here for nothing?"
There was a warning laced in his voice. Anyone who could hear his tone would surely be frightened.
However, the man in front of him was not intimidated by his coldness. He had grown together since a young age, thus, he was used to this kind of attitude from the man.
"Lord Shan Rou, what great timing that I came here! You actually received ten noble ladies! How about you give half of it to me?" the man smiled brightly as he changed the topic of their conversation. He even deliberately asked the man to give him half of the women that she received!
"Bah! You have enough ladies flocking on the gates of your mansion waiting to be part of your harem! Eh? Why don't I feel anything from you? Did you really went to a close door training?"
Subjected to the scrutiny from the man, lord Yang shrugged and slumped his body to the nearest chair. To see a master act like him was very unsightly but lord Yan did think much of his action. He released a long frustrated sigh and shook his head.
"Ah! I was interrupted by a group of women! Now, I just came here to have a sense of peace. The women in my mansion are really different from yours. I just wish we could change place, hahaha!" the laughter of lord Yan concealed a slight bitterness.
"Change place with me? I don't think you'll like the women in my harem. You have overly indulged your women. If you discipline them, then you'll be able to have peace!"
"No, I am happy with the wildness of my women. You are right! I do not want to change place! Hahaha, Aren't you bored of your harem?"
"Tsk! Why would I be bored? Now you came here! Do you want to serve me also?"
Lord Yan instantly paled by this blunt question. What in the world had his friend been thinking!
"What nonsense! Ahh! Now, you have ruined my ears! I came here to get some peace! But now, I just better go back to my mansion!" lord Yan scowled. His hand scratched the back of his neck and shoot the master of the mansion a sharp gaze.
Lord Yan was the respected harem lord of the eastern mainland. Unlike lord Qing Shan Rou who was respected because of his power, this man was respected because of his wealth.
He was the richest lord known to the mainland. And the women in his harem were not given as gifts. The women come to him willingly because of his money.
Thus, the members of the harem in the Mansion of Yan were very different in terms of attitude and bearing compared to the grand Qing Shan Rou mansion.
"This weather is so strange! The thunders and lightning seemed to have dominated the skies right now," lord Yan suddenly mentioned.
"Heh! It is the witch that was being punished by the heavens now!"
"Witch? Ohh. that bold woman who had also kidnapped men and brought them into her island! You are actually following her movements?" At this point, lord Yan's face was full of disbelief. He never expected that the man would actually know about such information. There was only one being that they called witch. Although they have not seen her face, the woman's reputation was enough to consider her as a witch.
"Following that witch? No way! Why would I waste my time with that fraud! It is the head servant of my mansion who told me about the location of her island!" lord Qing Shan Rou defended.
"Ohhh...." lord Yan trailed and found himself speechless. This kind of defensive attitude from his friend was new to him. He had never seen him so defensive before!
Opposite him, lord Qing Shan Rou took a seat and looked towards the sky. This might be the ninth time that he gazed at the dark clouds.
"So, you really did not do the close door cultivation that you had been planning! What a pity! You could have been stronger than me! You should not let your women distract you!"
Upon hearing this, the expression of lord Yan looked grieved. He really wanted to be on the same level as his friend. They have grown and trained together. But now, their gap in terms of power has become so big!
"Ahh, this is why I came here. I know that you are not in training. Let me use your training chamber?"
"Just where did you get the idea that I am not in training? I had been refining the Yang essence within me!"
"Come on! Don't be stingy! Just a week! I have bought the finest pills on the east to aid my training. I will give you some as long as you agree to my request!" lord Yan did not shy away and attempted to bribe the man. He even took the bottles of pills from his pocket and showed them to the man.
Hearing his friend's condition, lord Qing Shan Rou was not delighted. "My power has reached its peak! I do not need any pills. But when the time comes that I need something, I will tell you. Now, go and start your cultivation!"
"Hahaha, I know you will give a face to this weak lord. Now, I will take my leave and stay in your training chamber!" lord Yan beamed and immediately left fearing that the man may change his mind.
