"Miss Lei, the eldest daughter of the Lei family? A great accomplished martial artist in the True Yuan Realm at the age of sixteen?"
On one side of the street, Yun Xiao stood by a street stall, his face full of astonishment.
Just now, he had heard every word of the conversation between Li Sihuan and the young man. Needless to say, the situation described by the young man was also quite a shock to him.
"Well, I thought I was a genius among geniuses for reaching the entry level of the True Yuan Realm at the age of sixteen. It turns out that I'm just a frog at the bottom of a well!"
In Hongluan Town, a sixteen-year-old martial artist at the sixth level of the True Qi Realm was praised as a genius. But in the Lei Yun Prefecture, a sixteen-year-old woman is actually a great accomplished martial artist in the True Yuan Realm. Such a contrast was something he had never even thought of before.
"Tsk tsk, no wonder people say that Hongluan Town is a tiny place and the people there are short-sighted. Now I kind of understand."
With his eyes slightly narrowed, he suddenly realized that in these years in Hongluan Town, he had really limited his perspective. Fortunately, he walked out of Hongluan Town. Otherwise, he would never know how vast the world is in his lifetime.
"The prefectural lord of Lei Yun Prefecture really has a way. Not only has he cultivated his daughter into a genius, but he can also make a first-order magical beast, the Unicorn Rhinoceros, pull his carriage. Such means, I don't know how he achieved it."
A sixteen-year-old great accomplished martial artist in the True Yuan Realm is not the only thing that shocks him. Recalling the scene just now, he clearly saw the Unicorn Rhinoceros pulling the carriage. If he is not mistaken, that Unicorn Rhinoceros is extremely powerful and is probably at the peak of the first-order magical beasts. It might even take a step further and reach the realm of second-order magical beasts.
The Unicorn Rhinoceros is a relatively mild-tempered magical beast and usually does not attack humans on its own. With his current strength, killing a Unicorn Rhinoceros is not a problem. But it is absolutely impossible for him to make a Unicorn Rhinoceros pull his carriage.
"Don't think about that for now. There are still three days until the recruitment period of Lei Yun Academy. In these three days, I should find a place to stay first and also inquire about some information about Lei Yun Prefecture and Lei Yun Academy. Maybe it will be useful to me."
Having just arrived in Lei Yun Prefecture, there are still many things he needs to understand. At least, if he wants to join Lei Yun Academy, he must first find the location of Lei Yun Academy and the way it recruits disciples.
Thinking of this, he calmed down the shock just now and began his first tour in Lei Yun Prefecture...
In the east side of Lei Yun Prefecture, this is one of the most prosperous and affluent areas of Lei Yun Prefecture. The reason is simple because this is where the Wu family, the first business family in Lei Yun Prefecture, is located.
As the largest business family in Lei Yun Prefecture, the status of the Wu family in Lei Yun Prefecture is second only to the Lei family of the prefectural lord. But in terms of financial resources and material resources, the Wu family is probably even superior to the Lei family.
The Wu family's business involves countless fields. It can be said that as long as it can be bought and sold, the Wu family is involved in all of them.
The Wu family's mansion covers an area of more than a thousand mu. The high walls block all the scenery inside the mansion, making this mansion seem completely isolated from the outside world and become an independent world.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A dull vibration came from afar. Before long, a Unicorn Rhinoceros pulling a carriage appeared in front of the gate of the Wu family's mansion.
"Moo!"
With a muffled roar from the Unicorn Rhinoceros, the carriage stopped right in front of the main entrance of the Wu family. The coachman immediately jumped down and placed a prepared wooden stool. "Miss, we have arrived."
"Swish!"
As soon as the coachman finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was lifted from inside. Then, a young girl in her prime years walked out of the carriage.
This is a very beautiful woman. She has a graceful figure, an exquisite face, and lively eyes that seem to have a hint of mischievousness. In every move and gesture, she seems to have the free and easy air of a man, giving people the first impression of being neat and efficient.
Stepping out of the carriage, the young woman directly jumped down without paying any attention to the wooden stool placed on the ground by the coachman. Seeing this, the coachman couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"Miss Qingqing, it's been a while. I've been waiting for a long time."
As soon as the young woman jumped down from the carriage, a soft laugh came from inside the Wu family's mansion. Before the laughter subsided, a middle-aged man in his fifties came out bent over to welcome her.
"Steward Feng, how did you know I was coming?"
While gesturing to the coachman to drive the carriage to the side, the young woman smiled and asked the old man who came up to welcome her.
She is a frequent visitor to the Wu family and is very familiar with this Steward Feng of the Wu family. And she doesn't have the temper of a young lady. When she speaks, she is very friendly.
"Hehe, in the entire Lei Yun Prefecture, only Miss Qingqing's carriage can make such a big commotion. I heard it from a long way away."
Steward Feng didn't hide it and told the truth. His tone was neither flattering nor sarcastic.
In the entire Lei Yun Prefecture, only Lei Qingqing has a magical beast pulling her carriage. No one else can enjoy such treatment. Just as Steward Feng said, her magical beast carriage rumbles along and can be heard from several miles away.
"So that's it." Pouting, Lei Qingqing looked back at her magical beast carriage as if thinking about whether to get rid of this carriage so as not to bring disgrace to her father.
Along the way, she had seen the rampaging of the Unicorn Rhinoceros. To be honest, this was not her intention. However, a magical beast carriage is different from an ordinary horse-drawn carriage. Once it starts running, it is very difficult to control. Especially when there are other people around, the Unicorn Rhinoceros is even more difficult to control.
"Miss Qingqing, are you here to see my family's young lady?" Steward Feng didn't know what Lei Qingqing was thinking. After exchanging pleasantries, he quickly asked respectfully.
"Yes, I'm here to talk to Sister Qingya about something. Where is she?"
Turning back, Lei Qingqing followed Steward Feng into the mansion while asking softly.
"Miss is currently preparing various matters for the auction. But she just sent word for me to take Miss Qingqing to Jinyuan Garden for a chat."
"Is Sister Qingya still in charge of this autumn's auction?" Hearing Steward Feng mention the auction, Lei Qingqing's eyes lit up, obviously very interested.
The Wu family's business operates various businesses and trades, and auctions are one of them. Every spring and autumn, the Wu family will hold an auction. At the auction, many good things will be publicly auctioned off, and the highest bidder wins.
Speaking of which, the Wu family's auction is quite famous in the entire Lei Yun Prefecture. Every auction will attract many people from Lei Yun Prefecture and the towns under its jurisdiction. Especially the autumn auction, because it coincides with the recruitment of Lei Yun Academy, the atmosphere is particularly lively.
"Yes. After the master and several family leaders discussed, they finally decided that Miss is the most suitable candidate." Nodding, Steward Feng's face suddenly showed a trace of respect. As for the object of respect, it is naturally the eldest daughter of the Wu family, Wu Qingya.
