Chapter 169: Courtyard?

"Is that what you said, little courtyard?"

Park Doyun opened his mouth wide, and looked stupidly at the majestic characters 'Celestial Mansion' above the crimson gate in front of him.

"I only said it was a courtyard, not a small courtyard."

Lee Minho looked innocent.

But Park Doyun was still shocked and said.

"This is not a courtyard house at all, it's a palace!"

Celestial Mansion is the only first-class cultural relic protection building in Kyoto.

But this building is privately owned and not open to the public.

Only on the previous side, the national TV station entered Celestial Mansion to do a program, and then exposed it's beautiful scenery and historical modern ancient design.

At that time, Park Doyun also watched the program, and even thought that the people living in Celestial Mansion might really be the descendants of royals.

In the end, Lee Minho said that this was his house.

Park Doyun covered his chest with one hand, and asked Lee Minho.

"You are not a descendant of royals, are you?"

Lee Minho said with a smile.

"I just have a good great-grandfather."

"Huh? Good sir?"

Park Doyun didn't understand but Lee Minho said.

"Go, go in, don't stand at the door."

'Watching it on the show was enough to shock me.'

After he actually went in, Park Doyun knew what the gap in reality was.

Only when you are really on the scene, can you truly appreciate all the nobleness of this Celestial Mansion.

Park Doyun couldn't help but murmur continuously.

"My God, my God, this is too big."

"Damn, is this furniture made of golds?"

"My God, all these shelves are antiques?"

"Damn, you don't live in a house, you live in a palace, right? Why is it so big?"

"Is this a garden? I think it's a botanical garden? It's so big."

Park Doyun took pictures while walking.

'But I have no culture, I can only go to the world by my god.'

He started outside the door, his eyes never resting.

Spend in all kinds of amazement.

It was already more than an hour after he finished walking inside the mansion.

At this time, Lee Minho and Park Doyun were sitting in the living room of the Grand Pavilion which is the main building of the Celestial Mansion.

The Grand Pavilion is the largest and most majestic among the hundred pavilions inside Celestial Mansion.

"Young Master, Mr. Park, please drink tea."

The head butler Forbe served tea to the two of them himself.

Then he said to Lee Minho.

"Young Master, I have ordered the servants to tidy up your clothes. Are you going to have dinner at home tonight?"

The word 'home' made Lee Minho feel warm.

He nodded with a smile.

"Yes I'll eat at home. By the way, can arrange another guest room? My friend will stay here for a while."

Tens of servants and butlers lined up at the back but not all of them are present.

Most them scattered all across the Celestial Mansion doing there task.

Today, Forbe knew that Lee Minho was going to move, so he specially made preparation over.

It's also because Lee Minho's things were too expensive so he need to prepare thoroughly with utmost care.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right now."

The old head butler turned around with a smile on his face, and his steps were much lighter than before.

It was obvious that he was very happy.

"This teacup, isn't it also an antique?"

Park Doyun carefully inspected the teacup in his hand.

Because the ceramic teacup in his hand doesn't look like a modern handicraft.

In view of the fact that there are many antiques handed down in the Celestial Mansion, Park Doyun now sees everything as an antique.

"It should be."

Lee Minho also glanced at the teacup in his hand, he didn't understand antiques either.

However, what the head butler brought out looked very historic.

'Maybe, it might really be an antique.'

"What should it be? Isn't this your house?"

Park Doyun was surprised.

Lee Minho said truthfully.

"This Celestial Mansion was passed down to me by my great-grandfather. I also just moved in recently, and I have been living in Azure Retreat before."

"Passed down?"

Park Doyun thought in shock.

'That's right. This Celestial Mansion cannot be bought or sold, it can only be inherited.'

Lee Minho took a sip of tea.

"It can be considered as an inheritance. The former owner of Celestial Mansion should be considered as my great-grandfather."

'Well, to be recognized by great-grandpa is not easy as well as this big house.'

'It sounds like a good deal, but the annual cost of maintenance is overwhelming!'

Lee Minho don't know whether to be happy or sad.

"Your great-grandfather!?"

Park Doyun blurted out.

Lee Minho glanced at him. Although this is true, it sounds like a curse.

Park Doyun immediately covered his mouth, and then said with a sneer.

"I'm sorry, I blurted out all of a sudden. I just didn't expect that the former owner was your great-grandfather!"

Park Doyun approached Lee Minho mysteriously and asked.

"Can you tell me which big family your family belongs to? I've thought about it, but I didn't expect any big family to be named surnamed Lee."

'Buying things at will that cost billions, and the car he drives is all world-limited.'

'The bodyguards who followed. They also change every day, and all of them have extraordinary skills.'

'It's enough to see how terrifying Lee Minho's background is.'

Park Doyun was full of thoughts.

Park Doyun just can't believe that the former owner of Celestial Mansion was really the great-grandfather of Lee Minho.

After all, the previous owner of Celestial Mansion had been dead for decades while it's only member known was in abroad.

Park Doyun had also heard before that the country was also helping in the management.

It didn't take long before it was transferred directly to Lee Minho.

'How strong is this background, to be able to snatch this Celestial Mansion from the hands of the country?'

However Park Doyun didn't know that the Lee family patriarch is intentionally letting the country to manage the mansion to full others.

It was solely to prepare the heir for managing it.

Facing Park Doyun's question, Lee Minho just said calmly.

"I'm just an ordinary person."

This is the truth.

However, what Park Doyun said in his heart was that he was not ordinary person at all.

If Lee Minho was an ordinary person, Park Doyun felt that people like them would be worse than beggars.

Park Doyun thought that Lee Minho didn't want to talk about it, so he probably put him off.

Even if Lee Minho didn't say that it wasn't enough, Park Doyun probably guessed it.

'Lee Minho must be from the hermit family.'

After Lee Minho inherited Celestial Mansion, the families in the Kyoto circle also got news.

Recently, the Qin family and Wen Guangji reached a consensus.

The Qin family contributed capital, and Wen Guangji contributed technology. Both are ollaborating in the development of anticancer agents.

However, the prerequisite for this cooperation is that the Qin family must help Wen Guangji obtain the ancestral recipes of Qingyuan's Private Restaurant

However, now, Lee Minho is the big boss of Qingyuan's Private Restaurant.

Wen Guangji had already approached Xu Qing, but no matter what, Xu Qing refused to give in.

If you want to get the recipe, you have to come hard.

It's just that, with Lee Minho around, if you want to attack the private restaurant, it's tantamount to attacking Lee Minho.

What happened to the Gan family and the Yoon family didn't take long.

If you want to attack Lee Minho, even the Qin family needs to weigh it.

Meanwhile in the Qin's study.

At this time, in the study, besides Mr. Qin, other members of the Qin family were also there.

Qin Guoming said to Mr. Qin.

"Dad, Wen Guangji said that if he can't get the recipe, he won't cooperate with us. But now the recipe is in Lee Minho's hands. We can easily get it."

Qin Shu retorted.

"Brother, then how did I hear that the recipe is not in the hands of Lee Minho at all, but in the hands of a cook named Xu Qing?"

Qin Guokang chimed in and said.

"That Xu Qing was a cook in that private restaurant. If it wasn't for Qin Anze failure at that time, the recipe would have ours by now."

"You two father and son can't even deal with a cook, I doubt your ability a little bit."

Qin Anze, who was standing aside, saw Qin Shu and Qin Guokang team up to target his father.

So he immediately said.

"If Lee Minho hadn't stepped in, the private restaurant would have been ours long ago."

"Incompetence is incompetence, don't make so many excuses."

Qin Shu said disdainfully.

"That's enough, stop talking about it."

Old Master Qin stared, and then said sharply.

"Is it time to talk about this? The most important thing now is to find a way to get the recipe."

Qin Guoming stood up.

"Dad, I don't think there is any need for us. We are too concerned about that Lee Minho."

He then added on.

"During this period of time, I went to check. It seems that there is no one named Lee family among the hidden family in Colorado."

"Besides, I don't believe that kid will offend our Qin family for a cookbook."

At this beginning, Qin Guoming was still very afraid of Lee Minho.

The fact that Lee Minho spent billions on shopping in Golden Sun Plaza must have shocked many people.

After all, with such financial resources, even their Qin family can't afford such pretense.

However, Qin Guoming went to investigate and inquired that among the known hermit family in Colorado, there was no one with the surname Lee.

"Big brother, can you use your brain? It is said that it is a hidden family, will they let you find out something?"

Qin Shu added on.

"Even if there is really no one with the surname Lee, couldn't it be that they changed their surname name on purpose to hide their identity?"

Qin Shu now looks down on Qin Guoming, the eldest brother, from the bottom of her heart.

It doesn't matter if you don't have business talent, and you usually look smart, but when it comes to critical moments, you will be stupid.

Qin Guokang echoed.

"Yes, brother. There are some things that should not be just looked at on the surface."

"But..."

Qin Guoming wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mr. Qin.

"Guoming, do you know about the transfer of ownership of Celestial Mansion?"

Qin Guoming looked puzzled.

"I have heard about this."

He didn't understand why Mr. Qin asked this question suddenly.

Mr. Qin continued to ask.

"Then do you know who owns Celestial Mansion now?"

Qin Guoming shook his head which made ild Master Qin sighed and looked at the eldest son in disappointment.

"The current owner of Celestial Mansion is Lee Minho."

"It's him?"

Qin Guoming's eyes widened.

Qin Guokang and Qin Shu were also surprised.

Only Qin Anze was a little confused who doesn't understand why they are so surprised.

Only them understood what it meant to be able to obtain Celestial Mansion.

Qin Guoming's expression darkened instantly.

"So, Guoming, do you understand?"

Mr. Qin looked at Qin Guoming.

Qin Guoming gritted his teeth and said with a sullen face.

"I understand."

Mr. Qin frowned.

"Call those people who were sent out before. We must get the recipe but we can't offend Lee Minho either."

Lee Minho didn't know that the Qin family was planning to attack him.

But because of the existence of Celestial Mansion, he escaped by accident.
