Chapter 39 Recommendation
Chapter 39 Recommendation
As night falls and stars dot the sky, a towering pavilion stands tall, its ancient brick and stone exterior appearing even more magnificent in the moonlight.
In the room on the top floor of the pavilion, silver armor was neatly hung on the wall, reflecting a cold light.
Beside the sandalwood tea table, a woman in a plain gauze dress picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the man and woman sitting opposite. Her eyes swept over the woman and finally stopped at the man's face:
"Chu Xing, you've just left the sect and haven't experienced much of the world. Senior Sister must remind you that some women may appear glamorous and pure on the surface, but in reality they are slutty and dirty. You must not be blinded by their beauty."
Chu Xing's brows jumped when he heard this. He silently glanced at Pei Sanniang beside him, and when he saw that there was no change on her face, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Senior sister is right. Chu Xing will remember this and will never set foot in those places of fireworks again."
Feng Ruxue's eyes were like stars. She glared at him unhappily and said:
"What brings you here?"
Pei Sanniang smiled and bowed, saying:
"Feng Zhang Ling, I want to discuss a business deal with you, and I want Master Chu to introduce you."
"Oh, what business?"
"I have a shipment of goods that I need to deliver urgently to Kunshan City. It will pass through the Yimeng Mountains, and I'd like to ask Feng Zhangling to escort it along the way. It will only take two or three days. As for the reward, I will definitely satisfy Feng Zhangling. I wonder how many days it will take for Feng Zhangling to hand over his duties?"
Feng Ruxue glanced at Chu Xing with a look of reproach and said calmly, "The handover will be completed the day after tomorrow."
Chu Xing shrank his neck and silently picked up the teacup to drink tea.
Pei Sanniang smiled and said:
"There's still plenty of time. I'll pay you 30,000 spirit stones to join the camel caravan. Would you please?"
Chu Xing put down the teacup, looked at Pei Sanniang, and said:
"Wait, Madam, you just quoted that Xue guy 50,000 spirit stones at Yingyue Tower. How come it's only 30,000 when it comes to my senior sister?"
Pei Sanniang smiled and said coquettishly:
"Mr. Chu, you may not know that the reason I quoted Mr. Xue fifty thousand spirit stones is because he has a camel caravan. This way, I don't have to rent pack animals or arrange for people to accompany him, which also costs a lot of spirit stones."
"How many spirit stones will that cost?"
Chu Xing rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily:
"Besides, my senior sister is a great cultivator at the Hedao realm, while the one surnamed Xue has reached the perfection of the Dharma."
Pei Sanniang quickly smiled and said:
"Sir, please don't be angry. I'm a businessman and am used to bargaining. I'm not trying to be cunning. Fifty thousand spirit stones is fifty thousand spirit stones."
Chu Xing glanced at Feng Ruxue and saw that she was looking at him and Pei Sanniang with a slightly cold gaze.
Chu Xing thought for a moment, then stood up, pulled Feng Ruxue aside, and whispered:
"Senior Sister, I met her by chance and have no personal connection. By chance, I learned that she was looking for someone to escort her goods to Kunshan City, and she was willing to pay 50,000 spirit stones. That's why I brought her to you to see if you'd be interested in making some money."
"Don't worry about my face. If you don't care, you can just refuse directly. If you do, I'll find a way to help you raise the price."
Feng Ruxue's expression eased slightly after hearing this, a look of relief appeared on her face, and she said lightly:
"You should have told me earlier. Senior Sister has been worried that you've been seduced by her. This Pei Sanniang looks dignified and solemn, but in fact, she is notorious for her promiscuity in Hun Tian Immortal City. You should avoid interacting with her in the future."
Chu Xing nodded repeatedly and said:
"Senior Sister, do you want to earn this amount of spirit stones?"
Feng Ruxue raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said:
"Why not earn the spirit stones that are delivered to my door? My annual salary is only 70,000 spirit stones."
Chu Xing frowned and thought for a while, then leaned over to Feng Ruxue's ear and whispered a few words.
Feng Ruxue was startled after hearing this. Seeing Chu Xing nod imperceptibly, she hesitated for a moment, then stretched out a slender jade leg from under her gauze skirt and kicked Chu Xing away, shouting coldly:
"Hmph, you never change your bad habits. When we get back to the sect, I'll have my husband discipline you."
Chu Xing fell heavily onto the redwood floor, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He struggled to get up, staggered back to Feng Ruxue, and said:
"Senior Sister, Sanniang is not the kind of woman you think she is. There is nothing illicit between her and me."
Feng Ruxue raised her delicate and round chin slightly and said:
"I, Feng Ruxue, cannot tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes. I won't earn spirit stones from a woman like this. Take her away quickly before I get angry."
Chu Xing looked at Feng Ruxue eagerly and wanted to say something, but she glared back at him.
Then Chu Xing walked to Pei Sanniang's side in a sullen manner, lowered his head and looked slightly evasive, and said:
"I'm sorry, ma'am, you might have made a wasted trip."
Pei Sanniang took out a white handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of Chu Xing's mouth, saying:
"Don't blame me, sir. I just heard the general idea. It is I who caused you to suffer this undeserved disaster."
"Actually, the main reason isn't... Well, forget it, Madam, let's go."
Chu Xing acted as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, glanced at Feng Ruxue, and gently pushed Pei Sanniang towards the door.
……
Inside Lanqin's house in the City Lord's Mansion.
Lan Qin leaned lazily on the golden couch. Wang Huntian stood behind her with a smile on his face, and his rough big hands were kneading her shoulders.
At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and a young man in a green robe, waving a folding fan, walked into the room slowly, with his chin slightly raised and a cynical smile on the corner of his mouth.
Wang Huntian quickly put away the smile on his face and walked quickly to Lan Qin's side and sat down.
Lan Qin saw the person coming and pushed Wang Huntian away from her. She smiled and said:
"Why is Yuan'er here?"
Wang Sanyuan closed his folding fan, walked calmly to Lan Qin, and said solemnly:
"Mom, do you know why no girl likes me?"
Lan Qin frowned slightly when she heard this, and looked at his face carefully for a while, then said thoughtfully:
"Yes, Chu Xing is always surrounded by girls. You have your father's eyebrows and big eyes, but everything else is your mother's. You are also good-looking, so why don't girls like you?"
"I'm just not good at talking." Wang Huntian said with a pout.
"How dare you say that about Yuan'er? Isn't it the same for me?"
Lan Qin turned her head, glanced at Wang Hun Tian, and said:
"I think Yuan'er is just like you on this point."
Wang Sanyuan held his head high and chest out, with a slight smile on his face, and said:
"Dad, Mom, what you said is not the key."
Wang Sanyuan opened the folding fan in his hand and gently waved it, looking calm and composed. Then he spoke:
"This young master was born in the City Lord's Mansion and studied under the Grand Elder of the Yunxiao Sect. It's only natural that I'm arrogant and domineering."
"Dad, what are you going to do?"
Suddenly, he saw Wang Huntian unbuckling his belt. He screamed in surprise and ran behind Lan Qin as if escaping.
Wang Huntian's eyes were as big as copper bells, and he approached Wang Sanyuan step by step angrily:
"Haha, what are you doing? Today, Dad will let you know what it means to be domineering."
