C8 (1/2)

The marquis wedding was scheduled for December 8th.

The previous night, Xiao Yu had finished her dinner and had been busy with a great deal of chores. Under the moonlight, she had strolled to the courtyard where Jing Wan lived.

In the recent days, she had been busy as she did market research and analysis, familiarizing with the property of the house of the Marquis and inspecting the branch office. However, she secretly thought in her heart about how to get the money from the house of the Marquis.

She was not interested in making money, but of course, Guan Xiaoyu knew that she was only interested in spending money. Besides, it was an honor for her to stay at the manor for the time being.

In Guan Xiaoyu's own words, these mysterious mages were ”out of the three realms, away from the five elements”. They had a lot of special authority, and the laws of the country could not control them.

Mystical masters had a high status and were all very arrogant. The fact that Master Purified Plate was temporarily staying at the Marquis' Mansion with the mysterious ”Ninth Master” signified that the mansion had a mysterious mage backing it. Thus, Old Mistress Che generously gave him a batch of precious mystical stones to help him with his cultivation.

Obtaining these magic stones was like a miser obtaining countless treasures. She circled the stones and sat in the middle, refusing to move at all.

”Ninth Master, you're here.” The little girl, Mingyue, who had been assigned the plate, stood outside the door and paid her respects to Guan Xiaoyu.

Because Guan Xiao Yu was pretending to be an expert, she and Jing Wan no longer called each other master and disciple.

”Is Master Purified?” Guan Xiaoyu was dressed in white. Under the silver moonlight, she looked a bit more refined.

Mingyue blushed as she watched, but she still greeted him, ”Reporting to Ninth Master, Master is cultivating in his room.”

”Help me relay it.”

”Yes.”

A moment later, Guan Xiaoyu was invited in.

She refused the new clothes given to her by the old woman, to show that she had no interest in anything other than cultivation. Knowing that Guan Xiaoyu had entered, she only lifted her eyelids and did not get up.

”You can leave first!” After sending Brightmoon, who had come to serve the tea, away, she picked up her water cup and gulped down a large mouthful. Then, Guan Xiaoyu began to speak.

”Wow! Master, I've recently sold off all of the Hou Mansion's properties. There's really a lot of oil to be scooped out of this house!”

”Cough, cough, cough!” The plate spat out the tea that had just been drunk, ”Disciple, pay attention to your words, what do you mean by there is a lot of oil for you to fish for!”

”Master, don't pretend!” There are no outsiders here. Guan Xiaoyu slyly raised her eyebrows at the net.

”Say what?” Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened as she stared at Liu Xiaoyu.

”Of course I'm talking about your plans. Don't tell me you really want me to increase the Hou Mansion's income by 30% within a year? This will cost you your life! ”

”Didn't I already tell you my plan? And you agreed to it?” The net was unmoved.

Guan Xiaoyu said angrily. Even if I can increase their income by 30% within a year, it's impossible for me to give you a child within a year! ”

”Why not?”

Guan Xiaoyu wanted to say that she had never planned on having a child with the Marquis, so how could she have a child?! This age was still young in the modern world, it was basically a minor!

”Master, what you said couldn't be true, right?” Guan Xiao Yu had a bad feeling about this.

”Of course it's true!” ”Do you think we're bluffing?”

”Isn't it?!”

Thus, she continued to narrate her set of deceptive astrological calculations and the five nations' fortunes.

Of course, Guan Xiaoyu didn't believe a single word of it.

After returning from the small courtyard, Guan Xiaoyu could not come up with anything.

Her only conclusion was that she had already been sold out!

She had been helping people for days without realising it.

It can't be?

Could it be that everything the Purified Board said was true?

Did the heavens allow her to cross over to save this world?

She had never thought that she would have a mission to save the world.

”Ninth Master, you're back.” The little girl, Moon, greeted Guan Xiaoyu with a bow.

”Oh!” Guan Xiaoyu replied casually as she thought about the matter.

According to the usual habits, the bright moon would pour some tea for Guan Xiaoyu and remind her to take a bath so that she could get an early rest. But at this time, she just stood there in a daze.

”What, is there a problem?” Guan Xiaoyu asked.

”Yes sir!” Moon Moon Blessed herself up and said clearly, ”A few days ago, the people that Ninth Master sent me to inquire about were already here.”

A few days ago, Guan Xiaoyue had asked Moon to find a way to find out more about the Division Chief. On that day, she had received his help and had then left. Now that she had the upper hand, Guan Xiaoyu really missed this person who had given her so much food.

”Go ahead.” Guan Xiaoyu waved her hand.

”According to the servants of the prefecture, that girl called the overseer died a year ago.”

”What?” A year ago? Didn't she just leave not long ago, and the head of the department was already dead? What happened?
