Chapter 220 Unrepentant Appeal (4)
They are still quite far from Jinlingtai, yet the news has spread so widely, which is enough to show how arrogant the Lanling Jin Clan is.
"The weather is getting cooler, and I think you two should start reading more. We'll buy a house in Jinling and hire a few tutors. Although you two can read, you probably don't know many characters. As the saying goes, reading helps you understand principles, and there's no harm in reading more."
"We're both studying, what about you?"
"Of course I'm lying down."
"Why don't you come to school with us?"
"No thanks, I already know everything the teacher knows. I'd just be sleeping anyway. For the teacher's sake, I'd rather not go." Wangyou expressed her refusal; she actually didn't like going to school.
"Wangyou, won't this cost too much money?" Wei Wuxian said with some concern.
"Don't worry, you two have to study hard. From now on, A-Xian will be my bodyguard, and A-Yao will be my cook. My bodyguard and cook have to look good when they go out, so how can they be illiterate!" Wangyou patted the two of them on the shoulder in a serious manner, and then quickly went ahead.
Seeing this, Wei Wuxian and Meng Yao quickly followed, determined not to let Wangyou down.
Just as the two caught up, they saw a little beggar being whipped by someone in a carriage. The little beggar was shouting, "You promised to give me candy if you delivered the letter to me!"
Unfortunately, the person in the carriage was probably a young master from a prominent family, whose behavior was anything but restrained.
"These people are really going too far." Wei Wuxian said angrily. "Wangyou, can I go save that boy?"
"It's up to you. Do whatever you want." Wangyou didn't stop him. Wei Wuxian probably thought of himself when he saw the little beggar.
Just as the little beggar was about to be run over by the carriage, Wei Wuxian saved him.
At the same time, Wangyou's expression turned solemn.
"Where did this stinking beggar come from, daring to block my way? You're asking for death!"
Seeing this, Wangyou had no choice but to take action. Although the people in the carriage were not highly skilled, they were far beyond the current level of Wei Wuxian and Meng Yao.
"You're the one courting death!" Wangyou waved her hand, and the carriage exploded, sending the people inside flying out, their fate unknown.
"So strong!"
Wangyou walked up to the man and confirmed that it was indeed the aura of an item from the underworld, but it was extremely faint.
"Forget-Me-Not!" Wei Wuxian ran over, and Meng Yao and the little beggar followed.
"My candy." How obsessed this little beggar is with candy!
Do you know who he is?
"He is from the Chang family of Liyang." The little beggar Su Ran was nervous, but his tone was steady, and his eyes showed a stubbornness that was different from others.
"A-Xian, give him the candy, let's go." Wangyou thought for a moment, this person can't die for now.
Upon hearing this, Wei Wuxian took out half a bag of candy. "Here you go, but eat less, it's bad for your teeth."
After Wei Wuxian finished speaking, he quickly followed Meng Yao and Wangyou, but unexpectedly the little beggar followed them.
"Why are you following us?" Wangyou asked, turning around.
"It's my intuition, I think it's best to follow you," the little beggar said with a determined look in his eyes.
To put it bluntly, Wei Wuxian and Meng Yao were both picked up by Wangyou, and Wangyou provided them with food and drink, so naturally they wouldn't make any suggestions.
"Come here, let me take a look." Wangyou thought for a moment. In the future, three people would not be imposing enough when going out, but more people would give them an imposing presence. However, he still needed to see how talented Wangyou was.
Wangyou touched the little beggar's brow with her fingertip and smiled slightly. She was actually a genius whose talent was no less than A-Xian's. She could be taken in as a henchman.
"Ayao, take him to buy two sets of clothes, wash him clean, and then bring him back."
"Okay, Second Sister." Meng Yao then took the little beggar to buy clothes.
"Forget-Me-Not, he..."
“He has great talent. I was thinking that in the future, when it comes to fighting, you can’t be the only one to fight. You need to have a helper so that you can fight without any worries.”
"Should we stay here or leave quickly? Those people probably won't let this go." Wei Wuxian was delighted to hear this, but then became somewhat worried.
"I need to stay one night. There are some things I need at the Chang family's house in Liyang, so I have to go and check on them tonight." Wangyou didn't hide anything from Wei Wuxian.
"I go with you."
"You all stay at the inn and don't follow me and cause me trouble." Wangyou's words were anything but polite.
When evening came, after the four of them had dinner, Wangyou called the three of them into a room and set up a formation, saying, "Don't leave this room until I come back."
"Wangyou, be careful." Wei Wuxian hated his own lack of strength, so after Wangyou left, he simply stayed in his room to cultivate.
Wangyou hurried to the Chang family's residence. The Chang family's house was brightly lit, but the faint yin energy was much stronger than during the day.
The person Wangyou knocked out today seems to have a high status in this family. In order to prevent these people from causing trouble for them, Wangyou directly set up a bewildering array in the Chang family, and they will not be able to leave for three days.
After doing all this, Wangyou went directly to the source of the Yin energy, following its direction. She ended up in the Chang family head's study, where the guards were exceptionally tight.
Wangyou used invisibility and wall-penetrating techniques to enter without attracting anyone's attention.
The spirit of forgetting worries circulated throughout the room, and soon she found the entrance to the secret chamber, which turned out to be an inkstone on his table.
As soon as the secret room was opened, Wangyou felt the yin energy intensify, which meant that what she wanted was inside.
This place is not only a secret room, but also a treasure trove. Based on the principle that it's better to benefit oneself than others, Wangyou emptied it out. After emptying the treasure trove, she discovered that there was another door behind it. Pushing it open, she found that it was a place of worship.
The object of worship was a black iron block suspended above.
"A part of the Ghost Seal." Wangyou held the iron block in her hand and looked at it for a long time, speechless. No wonder the Underworld was closed; the Ghost Seal had become such a grotesque thing.
It seems we need to find the other pieces; once we have them all, the Gate of Hell should be able to open.
Having found what she wanted, Wangyou didn't linger and left the Chang family directly, returning to the inn.
Back at the inn, it was almost dawn. Wangyou told the three of them to pack their things, and they checked out and left Liyang as soon as it was light.
"Oh, right, I forgot to ask, what's your name?" Wangyou asked, looking at the newly dressed little beggar.
"My name is Xue Yang, and I am six years old."
"Okay, the smallest one."
The four of them went directly to a city near Jinlingtai, found a suitable broker, and Wangyou bought a large courtyard house with four courtyards.
"Go ahead, pick the courtyard you like."
"Forget-Me-Not, you choose first, girls first."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Wangyou directly chose the courtyard with the best lighting, and the remaining people also chose their courtyards according to the order.
The four rested for one night, and the next day Wangyou began to make arrangements. "Ayao, go find a cook. We will be staying in Jinling for a while, so you need to focus on learning first. Put the cooking thing aside for now."
"Okay, Second Sister."
"Xue Yang, go and buy a few maids and servants to sweep the courtyard."
"it is good."
Wangyou knows they are young, but so what? There are too many young people in this world, and they all have to learn to stand on their own.
"A-Xian, come with me. I'll go find some reliable teachers and some embroiderers from the embroidery workshop who can make clothes." After making the arrangements, Wangyou gave the group some silver, and the four of them went out and parted ways.
