The next moment.
Boom!
The box door was instantly kicked open.
“Who dares to monopolize…”
Liu Hong hadn’t finished speaking when he saw Jiang Yuan’s slightly frowning face.
His expression changed dramatically, turning from furious to pale in an instant.
“Ji… Jiang Yuan!” he stammered: “I’m… I’m sorry! I didn’t know you were here!”
While speaking, he had already slapped himself several times!
His heart was filled with panic.
After the events of the previous days, Jiang Yuan had become one of the most untouchable people in Lin’an County.
Those above him were only the local emperor of Lin’an County, Li Hong himself.
Other than that, it was Jiang Yuan!
Because of Jiang Yuan, the once thriving Divine Power Martial Hall was entirely eradicated.
Dozens of people from the Li Residence were, due to various charges, thrown into prison one after another, some locked up, others beheaded.
Especially the once-renowned master of the Divine Power Martial Hall, Li Hao, who was the top powerhouse in Lin’an County.
Most likely, it was because of Jiang Yuan that he had fallen into the hands of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency that night.
Based on the situation when Jiang Yuan fought Lei Zhan on that day, he was entirely capable of doing this.
Moreover, they had not received any news about Li Hao in the past half month, which further confirmed their speculation.
Thinking of this, how could Liu Hong not be scared?
His father was merely a shopkeeper, nothing compared to Li Hao, let alone himself!
Just at this moment, Jiang Yuan spoke.
“Get out!”
“Yes!”
Feeling relieved, Liu Hong quickly turned around and left.
“You come over here!” Jiang Yuan said to the old woman who was about to leave.
“What can I do for you, Young Master Jiang?”
“You dare to intimidate Liu Hong using mv name. vour courage is not small.
you don’t think the person behind you can protect you, do you?”
Hearing Jiang Yuan’s words.
She immediately fell to her knees, her legs shaking.
“Young Master Jiang, I also had no choice! Liu Hong monopolizes the Tian Zi No. 1 private room every day but doesn’t pay a cent. His father is the chief captor of Lin’an County, and I dare not forcibly kick him out.” “So, you’re saying that I’m easier to provoke than his father?” Jiang Yuan toyed with the teacup in his hand as he spoke.
“I… I didn’t mean that!” Her face turned pale.
“Forget it! Bring me Shu Xiaoxiao’s deed of sale, and I won’t hold this against you!”
“Alright! Alright! I’ll go get it right away!”
She was elated at once.
She quickly got up from the ground and ran downstairs.
“Thank you, Young Master!” Shu Xiaoxiao said softly.
“I happen to need a maid. From now on, you’ll be my maid!” Jiang Yuan announced.
“Yes, Young Master!”
A happy smile appeared on Shu Xiaoxiao’s face.
Just a moment later.
The old woman hurriedly ran up. “Young Master Jiang, this is Shu Xiaoxiao’s deed of sale.”
She respectfully handed it over.
Jiang Yuan took it and gave it a glance, then nodded in satisfaction. “Xiaoxiao, this deed of sale is given to you, handle it as you see fit!” Shu Xiaoxiao shook her head: “Young Master, I don’t want it!”
‘Why?”
“If I keep it in your hands, I’m your maid. If I take this deed of sale, you can dismiss me because I’m clumsy at any time. Now I have a home that I can’t return to, nor do I want to. If I go back, they will sell me again! If you don’t want me anymore, then I’ll really end up homeless.”
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Jiang Yuan rubbed his eyebrows: “Fine! It will stay with me for now.”
“Thank you, Young Master!”
A joyful expression appeared on Shu Xiaoxiao’s face.
For her, leaving Yunyan Pavilion was a great thing in itself.
She had been on edge these days, unable to sleep peacefully.
Now that she could leave Yunyan Pavilion, how could she not be happy?
Moreover, the man standing before her eyes is the legend that has captivated Lin’an County these days.
He had heard countless tales of Jiang Yuan in Yunyan Pavilion.
Originally, he thought Jiang Yuan was a cruel and violent person, a freak with three heads and six arms.
Looking at him now, it’s clear he is an unmatched young master from a prestigious family.
And he’s so kind at heart!
How could she not be satisfied being side by side with him?
At this moment,
Jiang Yuan is somewhat puzzled.
The prompt he was expecting did not appear.
Logically, he had altered Shu Xiaoxiao’s destiny, allowing her to possess Innate Qi Luck superior to purple.
There should have been a Luck Seed gifted to him, as in the case with Gu Mo. Could it be that she is too young, and the seed is not yet cultivated because of that?
This suspicion arose in Jiang Yuan’s heart.
At this moment, the sound of song and dance began to rise from below.
Never mind, there’s no rush for this. I have plenty of time. Let’s enjoy the music first!
Jiang Yuan shook his head.
Deciding not to think about these miscellaneous matters.
In the following days, Jiang Yuan frequented the Yunyan Pavilion for the music when he was free.
The performance that night had been an eye-opener for him.
No wonder his predecessor was always lingering in the pleasure quarters.
No wonder those high-ranking officials always enjoyed going to the pleasure quarters for the music.
It’s not just because this world lacks entertainment.
The key is, their performances are truly stunning.
And it completely altered his perception.
Compared with them, the performances in his previous life were simply rubbish.
And now, he’s in the phase of recuperation, there’s nothing for him to do!
He was so idle that it was driving him crazy!
As for Shu Xiaoxiao, Jiang Yuan had asked her to begin medicinal bathing, to strengthen her physique, and accumulate foundation.
As for Body Forging, it was too early.
Body Forging, in essence, is a kind of brutal cultivation and practice for the physical body.
If it is performed recklessly before complete development, it could damage the foundation, limiting future achievements.
Given Shu Xiaoxiao’s current age, it is estimated that she will be able to start practicing in about a year and a half.
For now, the most important thing is to improve the constitution, strengthen the physical body, and accumulate a solid foundation.
Once she starts Body Forging along with her talent, she will certainly soar rapidly.
Breaking through as easily as drinking water.
Her talent is far superior to that of Zhao Li!
County Honour ‘s Mansion.
Li Hong silently listened to the report of the person beside him.
After a while, he sighed softly.
“I never thought that Jiang Yuan would willingly degenerate, lingering in the pleasure quarters all day listening to music! Could my uncle’s words have hit him that hard?”
He couldn’t understand.
Although what the Elder said was a bit harsh, it was the truth.
Moreover, he was only refused to directly become an Inner Sect Disciple; he could still become a disciple of the Sunset Sect.
With his talent, he will certainly become a disciple of the inner sect eventually, albeit not such a high-ranking one.
But looking at his actions these days, he really has shown no intention of progressing. His future achievements will certainly be limited, he will eventually lose himself among everyone else.
Seeing the news of Jiang Yuan redeeming a young girl,
He shook his head even more, indulging in female charms, he’s beyond help!
Originally, he had high hopes for Jiang Yuan, making several good connections with him.
But looking at it now, he’s weak-minded, and was completely knocked down by a bit of criticism.
Moreover, at his age, instead of valiantly progressing and diligently practicing, he’s indulged in sensual pleasures.
Under these circumstances, his future is almost predictable.
It will be difficult for him to rise again!
