Chapter 110: Foundation Stabilizing (1/2)
When it was 5pm, Bai Luochu could hear subtle sounds coming from under the floor tile. She quickly sat properly and waited for everyone. Since she was the leader, she needed to act like one.
Right now, Bai Luochu had already put on Divine Physician Bai’s disguise. After all, it was still too soon to expose the fact that Divine Physician Bai was the general residence’s orphan daughter.
In just a flash, she could see the floor tile loosening and the first to emerge was Ying Lan, followed by Guan Yue. One by one, they emerged from the underground tunnel like how bamboo shoots grew rapidly in spring.
When everyone saw Bai Luochu, they bowed respectfully and greeted, “Divine Physician Bai.”
Their movements caused quite a huge commotion but no one dared to monitor this courtyard anymore due to Bai Luochu’s actions. She allowed them to continue and didn’t ask them to exercise restraint.
This room wasn’t too huge and with so many people standing in the common area, it felt cramped. In response, Bai Luochu quickly said, “I made everyone suffer by using the tunnel. This house is small and the soundproofing isn’t good. Will everyone please follow me?”
After Bau Luochu finished speaking, she activated the mechanism that opened up the passage to the secret room before heading inside.
When everyone arrived in the underground secret room, they were inwardly amazed and quickly praised Divine Physician Bai’s remarkable abilities. Ying Lan couldn’t take it any longer and he quickly said something to bring their attention back to the task at hand. “Everyone, let us discuss important matters first. We shall not waste any more time. This secret room will be the secret base of our Palace of Brilliance Resurgence from now. It is constructed by Divine Physician Bai after loads of hard work. Everyone doesn’t have to be in a hurry to explore this place right now.”
Just with a few simple statements, Ying Lan gave Bai Luochu all the credit. Bai Luochu’s face behind the mask was twitching a little as Ying Lan was rather bold to phrase it this way. With a single sentence, Ying Lan made Bai Luochu the genius who designed the secret room. If the actual owner of the room were to find out, he would definitely roll over in his grave.
Amitabha, I have sinned, I have sinned. Bai Luochu quickly prayed in her heart in order to avoid the vengeful spirit of the original owner of the room.
Just like that, everyone started their discussion. It started with Ying Lan at the Remote Paddy Inn before everyone reported about their operations during this period of time.
Firstly, the restaurants, merchant houses, and brothels were profiting quite a bit. Bai Luochu was pleasantly surprised by Guan Yue’s report.
When Bai Luochu heard the news, she nodded with approval and praised, “You took a lot of trouble to achieve such results. It is a sin to only let you take charge of the Silk Flower Pavilion”
When Guan Yue heard the praise, he maintained his neither servile nor overbearing attitude. “I thank Divine Physician Bai for the praise. As they say, a man can submit or stand tall as required. If I didn’t take the initiative to make full use of the Silk Flower Pavilion, I am afraid that I will never get the chance to achieve anything important. In the end, Divine Physician Bai deserves all the credit for giving me the opportunity.”
After the duo exchanged pleasantries, the report continued. However, they were all ordinary and nothing stood out. Bai Luochu gave out a few instructions and asked them to continue with the operations before ending the meeting.
