The old man finished muttering to himself and hurriedly followed, saying, "Yuhan Tuer, let me protect you. Hehe~~"
If Xia Yuhan knew that she couldn't shake off his harsh words, she would probably regret it deeply.
"Yuhan Tuer. Wait a minute. Where are you going dressed like that?"
"Don't follow me. I have no significant ties with Prince Yile right now. So my safety as Xia Yuhan doesn't require your protection." At this moment, she would rather see Cang Yile.
"Hehe. Don't be like that. He is he, and the old man is the old man. He doesn't cherish you. But I do care about you. Those two often argue and whatnot. Besides, you two have only known each other for such a short time. It's normal."
Then, the old man humorously added, "Yuhan Tuer, remember to get angry at him more next time you fight. Hehe. Let's ignore him. You go on your way."
Xia Yuhan was momentarily speechless. Is this really my master?
As she was about to speak, the old man quickly said, "Well then, I'll just disappear on my own. You go ahead."
"You..."
Before Xia Yuhan could react, the old man had vanished. What a fast Lightness Technique! It was simply incredible.
Watching the old man's phantom disappear into the distance, Xia Yuhan no longer hesitated. She darted stealthily towards Sun Mansion.
When Sun Liuxiang searched for Xia Yuhan for quite some time without finding her and returned to his room for a brief rest, he was shocked into silence.
"You... you... you are Xia... Xia Yuhan."
Fortunately, Sun Liuxiang's voice was not loud. Otherwise, Xia Yuhan would have had to cover her mouth. Seeing her stunned expression, Xia Yuhan quickly took the opportunity to close the door since no one was outside.
"Sister Liu Xiang, don't be afraid. It's me, Xia Yuhan." After doing all this, Xia Yuhan lowered her voice to respond.
"It really is Yu Han! I can hardly believe it. You look so handsome in that outfit."
Xia Yuhan noticed the shy look in Sun Liuxiang's eyes and couldn't help but smile: "So you like to dress like a general, sister. This makes things much easier. Please rest assured, Yu Han will definitely help you find a good match."
Upon hearing this, Sun Liuxiang's face turned red: "Rain Cold Sister, you are so mischievous."
Seeing that the moment was right, Xia Yuhan didn't want to waste any more time: "Alright, sister. The opportunity we've been waiting for has arrived. Do you want half of the Madam's tavern in the capital? If I remember correctly, that's what we agreed upon."
Sun Liuxiang looked surprised: "Really... is this true? I thought you were just casually mentioning it at the time and would later find some excuse to give me a little benefit. I never expected Rain Cold Sister to be such a trustworthy person. You're far better than that Madam."
Xia Yuhan smiled lightly, her male soldier's outfit making her look charming: "I, Xia Yuhan, have always been a person of my word. If you want to thank someone, it should be yourself for not betraying Yu Han back then."
Sun Liuxiang was also a clever person. With this statement from Xia Yuhan, she understood the implication: "Rest assured, Rain Cold Sister. Liu Xiang will definitely follow you loyally because I know that betraying my sister will lead to a terrible fate no matter what happens. Even if I were lucky enough to escape this time, I would surely face death in the future."
"With Sister Liu Xiang saying this, I have no reason not to believe it. However, half of the tavern can belong to you. As for the wealth hidden within..."
"Sister, please rest assured. I don't want any more than that. This time I'm collaborating with you. The entire Sun Mansion has already undergone a huge reversal. So having the tavern is already very good. One should be content and happy."
Xia Yuhan casually picked a seat and took a sip of water: "Don't worry, sister. This is just the beginning. Some things can be obtained through hard work; they belong to you. The reason why the Sun Mansion is where it is today is also due to its own fortune. What Yu Han means is that if it weren't for your strong support back then, the Sun Mansion wouldn't be what it is now."
Sometimes life is truly strange. As time went on, she never expected that she would end up working harmoniously with someone who had previously been her enemy.
Sun Liuxiang also found a spot and sat down beside Xia Yuhan: "I know all about this from you. To be honest, when I first followed you, I thought your words were empty promises. I didn't realize you had already made plans and strategies in your heart. If Liu Xiang hadn't been forced by you to rely on you, we wouldn't be where we are today."
"I honestly didn't expect things to turn out this way. This period is also a crucial time for Sun Mansion. If Yu Han's guess is correct, with Sun Mansion's current assets, we can be considered quite wealthy in the capital."
"If it weren't for my sister, Sun Mansion wouldn't be where it is today."
"Sister, don't say that. I'm just thinking that with your current status, when you attend royal banquets in the future, being updated first can be seen as a significant achievement."
After that, Xia Yuhan didn't say anything more because she knew that what she was doing was merely cultivating her own support. Once danger arose, she would have something to throw out. At least it wouldn't be as passive as when she first came here.
Thinking of this, Xia Yuhan couldn't help but sigh. The promise she made to Sun Liuxiang about half of the tavern was just a casual remark. At that time, she had no idea she would still be alive at this moment.
She had to admit that reaching this point was truly not easy.
"Alright, sister. We don't need to say more about other matters. It's getting dark. This restless night is about to arrive. Sister, come closer..."
"Okay..." Sun Liuxiang found Xia Yuhan increasingly difficult to understand. However, she knew that whenever Xia Yuhan was unusually calm, something extraordinary was bound to happen.
Sure enough.
After hearing Xia Yuhan's plan, Sun Liuxiang's face turned pale with fear.
"Can... can this really work? What if it fails? What serious consequences could arise?"
"Sister, there's no need to worry too much. Even if we fail, it won't result in significant losses for us. It's just that Madam will declare war on us, and it will be a business war."
Sun Liuxiang took some time to calm down and could only cover her chest with her hands desperately. It wasn't until her heartbeat slowed down that she finally let go: "Alright. Let's go with my sister's method. After all, since Sun Mansion allied with you, we've already become enemies with Madam. Sooner or later, this confrontation was inevitable."
Xia Yuhan took out a piece of black cloth from her bosom and covered her face with it. Seeing that Sun Liuxiang hadn't completely calmed down yet, Xia Yuhan patted Sun Liuxiang's shoulder: "Don't worry, sister. If things really come to that point, Sun Mansion's chances of winning will increase a bit. To put it in business terms, what business doesn't involve risks? When doing big business, the risks naturally increase."
"Little sister, go ahead and don't worry. Liu Xiang will act according to your plan later."
"Okay. Farewell."
After saying this, Xia Yuhan did not behave like those experts. Instead, she quickly flashed out of a window.
She was following the dark object she had suddenly trapped on the roof. She crawled out through the window on the roof.
This object was actually a Mechanism. Back when she was in the modern world, she really liked a certain anime that featured a super cool weapon called "Non-Aggression."
Plus, at that time, she had obtained this Treasure Chest. The chest contained corresponding materials, and Xia Yuhan used her own intelligence to create one. She never expected it would come in handy today.
However, as soon as she climbed onto the roof, she saw two people in casual clothes lying haphazardly across the roof, while an old man leisurely sat nearby with his legs crossed, swinging his feet.
"Old Mischief Maker, what are you doing here?"
"Tch. You didn't even notice that two people were following you. Hurry up and pay your respects. If it weren't for me knocking them out as soon as they arrived here, you wouldn't have been able to keep your precious life."
"Thank you."
After expressing her gratitude lightly, Xia Yuhan shifted her focus and crouched down to check the two people lying on the roof. She hoped to find some clues from them.
The old man looked very pleased: "Hehe. No need to thank me. Just call me Master from now on. I want to teach that kid a lesson."
However, seeing his words, Xia Yuhan ignored him and concentrated on searching for clues on the unconscious duo. The old man grew anxious.
"Hey! Hey! Xia Yuhan! They have nothing on them. I've already checked for you. They have calluses on their hands from years of sword practice, and their skills are not weak. It looks like they must be professional assassins. They are not from the same group as those trying to kill you in the alley."
"But what if they are assassins? Why not strike when they're in the alley?"
"How would I know what those two brats are thinking? If they don't strike, then they must be watching you. By the way, how did you get into so much trouble? Recently, I heard Disciple say he would protect you at all costs. Does he know that waves of people are coming to kill you?"
Xia Yuhan's gaze gradually dimmed. She thought about their intimate moments in the cave. She recalled Cang Yile's promise to protect her. She even remembered every little thing about Cang Yile...
Why couldn't she forget him?
Seeing that the atmosphere was off, the old man quickly asked, "Yuhan Tuer, are you okay? Don't worry, I'm here to protect you."
Xia Yuhan concealed her disappointment and said, "Old Mischief Maker, what do you plan to do with those two?"
The old man's wrinkles seemed to gather together as he replied, "I was just thinking of capturing them and then interrogating them..."
"Old Mischief Maker, why not let them go? Interrogation won't yield anything. It’s better to fish with a long line for a big catch..."
The old man immediately slapped his thigh. "That's a good idea."
