It seems that Huangpu Xin has seen through what's on Zhou Dian's mind. Zhou Dian glanced at Huangpu Xin and then gestured to Zhong Jinyuan, saying, "Brother Zhong, the happy event is approaching, you can go and be busy."
However, Zhong Jinyuan mistook Zhou Dian's glance at Huangpu Xin as looking at Liu Suyan, so he smiled knowingly and said, "Alright, alright, I won't disturb the lovebirds. Ayou, arrange an empty room for me."
On the side, a steward named Zeng Youjun stepped forward and bowed.
Lord Zhongcheng walked to the door with an imposing manner, and before leaving, he reminded, "My friend, remember to come to my daughter's wedding tomorrow. I have reserved a seat for you!"
Glancing at Mr. Tseng waiting on the side as instructed, Zhong Jiying covered her face with a handkerchief and whimpered, "Oh, it's true that a woman should not stay in the middle of things. Your lover has arrived, little sister, and I am now superfluous."
Liu Suyan rolled her eyes elegantly and said, "Hey, a married woman like you is teasing me? Let's fight!"
The two of them playing together made both Huangpu Xin and Zhou Dian enjoy the sight.
Wang Tingyu opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed due to dizziness, and staggered a bit due to the sudden landing. He quickly reached out to grab the nearby wall for support.
"We're here. Follow me to see the Young master first," Cao Mang said.
Wang Tingyu frowned at the dim surroundings and asked, "Where have you brought me?"
"This is one of our temporary bases."
Cao Mang continued to walk forward without looking back, as if not caring whether Wang Tingyu would catch up.
After checking that he hadn't lost anything he was carrying, Wang Tingyu quickly caught up.
Just now, it turned out to be a very large secret room, probably underground. At this moment, Wang Tingyu followed Cao Mang and, illuminated by dim torches, ascended the stairs, turning this way and that. Every now and then, a rat would dart out from a corner, startling Wang Tingyu.
After passing two platforms guarded by masked men in black, they arrived at a door that appeared to have no decoration or mechanism on its surface. From Wang Tingyu's perspective, it looked like a plain wall.
Cao Mang was seen tapping and knocking on this "wall" with the back of his hand, as if following a certain special rhythm. And when he directed his true energy to his eyes, Wang Tingyu found that Cao Mang was actually releasing his true energy outward, in a certain pattern, to stimulate the joints between the bones in his palm.
In fact, everything happened in just a few seconds. The stone door slowly moved upward, but not a speck of dust fell, indicating that someone must clean it regularly.
However, the space behind the stone door was unexpectedly small, seeming to be a study. Wang Tingyu curiously looked around and saw ancient books, paintings, and women's embroidery and musical instruments, indicating that the owner here is a woman.
Turning back to look at the place where he came out, the stone door looked to be about ten meters square from the inside, but after coming out, it was only the size of a normal person, which inevitably caught Wang Tingyu's attention.
"Why didn't you take me with you?!" The sudden accusation startled Wang Tingyu.
"Young master! Please forgive me, it was the elder's order..." Cao Mang replied, kneeling on one knee.
I don't know when, a brown-haired, purple-eyed, wavy-haired girl appeared in the chair in front of the desk. At the age of eleven or twelve, she had a lovely and ethereal appearance, but her actions were carefree. She sat barefoot with her legs crossed.
Hearing Cao Mang's reply, the girl stomped her feet in frustration, "I knew it was grandpa causing trouble! He's making me so mad!"
"Young master, everything has been taken care of," Cao Mang handed over the "documents" and a plate, then urged, "Please prioritize the overall situation, Young master!"
"I know, I know! It's so troublesome..." saying this, the girl referred to as Young master by Cao Mang took the items and put them away with a flip of her hand.
"Hey, who's this? How come they're coming back with you?" The girl seemed to have found something interesting and pointed at Wang Tingyu, asking.
"It's a long story..."
"Speak quickly, get to the point!" the girl urged.
"Okay."
Cao Mang roughly explained Wang Tingyu's background, and also emphasized his own contract with Huangpu Xin, in order to prevent the indulgent young master from making mistakes that would lead to punishment under the contract.
"Oh~" The girl seemed very interested. She jumped up from her chair and took small, quick steps to stand in front of Wang Tingyu, examining him as if she had discovered a new toy.
"Hey, are you really a destitute with a valuable treasure?" The girl's first sentence made Wang Tingyu turn pale with anger.
Wang Tingyu almost couldn't resist giving this scoundrel a slap, but seeing Cao Mang beside him, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to hold back.
Thinking of the situation when he met Huangpu Xin, Wang Tingyu imitated him and said indifferently, "First, I'm not called 'Wei,' I'm called Wang Tingyu. Second, even the barbarians know to introduce themselves first. As the so-called young master, you didn't introduce yourself. Is that a lack of manners?"
"Oh, eloquent. What harm is there if I tell you who I am? You don't know any sinister techniques, so what can you do to me?" The young girl raised her head and said proudly, "Listen well, I am Sun Qian! I am the granddaughter of Sun Jian, the elder of Beiming Palace, and the current saintess of Beiming Palace! Are you scared?"
Looking at the proud girl, Wang Tingyu felt inexplicable. Because she had never heard of Sun Jian or Beiming Palace.
Although the Wang family is located in Kunyu City, which is located inland in Nanli and surrounded by the Sanxian Mountains, it has a long heritage and is a local powerhouse. In addition, it is backed by the Xiaowuxing Mountain. It can't be said to be completely unknown in the cultivation world, but at least among the three major sects, the demonic sect, and the side sects, there is no mention of Beiming Palace.
"I haven't heard of it," Wang Tingyu spoke frankly.
Sun Qian stood frozen in place.
" Young master...?" Cao Mang hurriedly brought the things and the little ancestor back to the Grand Headquarters to report, and reminded the girl who was stunned to speak.
"Tsk." Sun Qian clicked his tongue in annoyance, then sat back in his chair with a lack of interest.
"Wait..."
"Hurry up! You keep rushing me every day! I've only been out for a few days, and you already want me to leave?!" Sun Qian suddenly shouted in anger.
Wang Tingyu was startled, but Cao Mang seemed unfazed. If it weren't for Elder Sun Jian's kindness to me, I would've just... forget it, I'll just send this little ancestor away.
Cao Mang mentally prepared himself before speaking, "Yes, yes, I shouldn't have rushed you. It's also my fault for not being capable enough this time. We were discovered by Zhao Zhi, and it took a short time to complete the mission, disturbing Young master's leisure. It's my fault."
"Um... It's good to know..." Sun Qian nodded in satisfaction, but caught a hint of disdain on Wang Tingyu's face.
Her expression changed and she was about to erupt, Cao Mang also saw it, thinking to himself: Who do you think you're looking down on, don't look down on this little ancestor. Hey, I'm afraid I'll have to endure the punishment of the contract this time...
Sure enough, Sun Qian pointed at Wang Tingyu and said, "Didn't you say the contract required her to be safely resettled? I happen to need a maid, I wonder if that counts as a safe resettlement?"
Cao Mang felt bitter in his heart. How could the contract of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance be violated so easily? Even if it's to offset the cost within the organization, it's probably inevitable to cut off a layer of small realm...
"Huh?" Sun Qian threatenedly looked at Cao Mang.
Wang Tingyu heard this and felt a tightness in his heart, but saw Cao Mang nod helplessly and say, "Of course it counts. Being your maid is something many people would beg for."
As Wang Tingyu's heart sank, Zhou Dian, Huangpu Xin, and Liu Suyan were arranged by Mr. Tseng to a courtyard.
