Chapter 243: Chapter 231: ng Xiuluo Sneaks into New City Sect_2
Look here, fellow.
Ling’er stepped forward.
The Young Manor Master recognized Ling’er instantly, quickly greeting her, saying, “My apologies for not imdiately recognizing the daughter of Sect Leader Wei.”
Ling’er looked at the panicked girl and said, “How many silver taels did you spend to buy this maid? Na your price and I will repay you.”
The Young Manor Master hurriedly replied, “No, if you desire her, please, do take her.”
“Unacceptable, we will return the silver to your House tomorrow and then give back her deed of sale.”
The Young Manor Master imdiately bowed in acquiescence.
His followers planned to say sothing, but the Young Manor Master silenced them and they left hurriedly with their heads bowed.
The maid quickly knelt down.
Ye Chen quickly helped her up.
Ling’er asked, “Where is your ho? We will take you back.”
“I’m not from Wasteland City, I won’t go back. If I go back, he’ll certainly sell
again.”
Ling’er felt so pity for her.
Ye Chen suggested, “We should take her back to your courtyard.”
Seeing Ye Chen’s almost leaping eyes, Ling’er began to feel uneasy, especially at his gentle deanor. She quickly moved herself in front of him, placing herself between him and the maid.
“You are my saviors, please let
repay your kindness.”
Ling’er helped her up, glanced around at the darkness that surrounded them, and believed her.
“What is your na?” Ling’er asked.
“Cui ngyan.” ng Xiuluo replied.
“And your mother?”
“She’s dead. I won’t go back. He has no compassion for . If I go back, he’ll certainly sell
again for cash.” Cui ngyan still looked sowhat scared.
Once back at the courtyard, Wan Lan was surprised, exclaiming, “How did it co about that you brought back a maid?”
“Mu Wanlan, clean the room next door, so Cui ngyan can stay the night.” Ling’er suggested.
“To stay in our courtyard?” Wan Lan looked at the distressed maid, her clothes appeared to be in disarray.
“Find so clothing that fits her and let her change.”
ng Yan, now blushing, seed to recover herself. She followed Mu Wanlan to change clothes.
Ye Chen didn’t speak; Ling’er had led the conversation on the way back.
Ling’er gave him a hard shove, almost pushing him to the ground, exclaid, “What the heck are you doing? Your eyes are about to pop out!”
“Whose eyes are about to pop out?” Ye Chen said, as if suddenly alert.
“Oh, please, show a little decorum.”
“I am very decorous, okay?”
“I have not seen that,” Ling’er retorted in a cold tone.
Wan Lan had prepared clothes for the maid and water for her to bathe. She returned and asked, “What happened?”
Ling’er explained briefly and added, “Tomorrow send a banknote to Dugu Manor.”
“Alright, understood.”
“So she will stay with us?”
Ye Chen suggested, “I think it’s a good idea. She can help share your workload, it might ease so pressure for you.”
Ling’er gave a cold laugh, appearing to have seen through Ye Chen.
Ye Chen found her laughter unsettling and quickly stated his true intentions, “I genuinely think so. An additional person will liven up the courtyard. Besides, only having Mu Wanlan isn’t ideal. Shouldn’t we have soone else to share her responsibilities, at least to bring so variety to our als?”
Wan Lan glanced at Ling’er and also let out a cold laugh.
“You both are looking at
in this peculiar way, it makes
feel strange,” Ye Chen comnted.
“We know what you’re thinking.”
“Oh my, do I look like a big pervert in your eyes?” Ye Chen asked.
“As long as you’re aware,” Ling’er replied.
“Oh dear, she is a beauty! Every boy likes her, and at this point, I’m not married yet. You don’t have any desire for , we were truly together, you would have an excuse to persuade your father to get rid of this nuisance sooner rather than later, right?”
Weiyiling snorted, thinking to herself, if it were that easy to rid myself of him! She coldly responded, “Admit it, you’re drooling, aren’t you?”
Ling’er said, “You should move out.”
“At this stage? Nah, wouldn’t it be better if I stay here to protect you? Who knows when a monster might appear,” Ye Chen responded.
Ling’er simply couldn’t stand him at tis and felt slightly regretful. Why in the world did she keep that maid around?
Before long, the maid appeared, looking quite different from her usual plain self. Her dazzling transformation just added to her allure, and her fair complexion made people wonder how a girl could look so radiant despite being born into poverty.
How was it possible for a child from an impoverished background to maintain such excellent grooming standards? Ling’er couldn’t help but admire her. Even amongst clothes she had worn a long ti ago, the maid stole the show, which made Ling’er a tad jealous.
The made walked over with a shy deanor, appearing even cuter.
Everybody’s eyes were on her.
Cui ngyan asked, “What are you all talking about?”
Ling’er replied, “This guy said he has fallen for you.”
“Stop kidding, we’re just poor folks. Becoming a maid is already a great achievent.”
Ye Chen said, “Don’t put it that way, I’m just a vagrant.” He was worried about upsetting Wei Yiling, so he didn’t say much.
ng Yan gave a faint smile, seemingly relaxed now after the day’s events.
“Do you have any relatives in Wasteland City?” Ling’er asked, still not wanting him to stay.
The maid shook her head.
“Are you really not going back?”
The maid shook her head again.
“Do you want to stay here with us?”
“Do you need more hands here? I can help out, do chores.”
Ye Chen imdiately responded, “We were just looking to hire soone. Looks like we won’t have to now.”
“Really?” ng Yan’s spirits soared.
“Yes.”
Ling’er was visibly annoyed by Ye Chen’s actions.
“Can I get sothing to eat?”
Ling’er asked, “Haven’t you had dinner yet?”
She shook her head.
Mu Wanlan said, “Let
get sothing to eat.”
The maid interjected, “No need, I can just eat what’s here.”
“No problem, I’ll bring back two roast chickens.” Ling’er said.
Mu Wanlan quickly left.
“Your father, he’s really being careless.” Ling’er comnted.
ng Yan hung her head, looking sowhat shy.
“This is New City Sect.”
“Yes.” Ye Chen replied.
“Would we be intruding?”
Ye Chen responded, “No, it’s actually rather quiet and dull here. Having an extra person would make it more lively.”
“Thank you. I don’t know what would have happened if I hadn’t run into you tonight.”
Thinking about those n who threatened to break her legs, Ye Chen assured her, “Don’t worry, we won’t ignore this situation.”
“I don’t know how to thank you.”
“No need. We would have done the sa for anyone.”
“But you spent a lot of money for .”
“Money is an external matter.” Ye Chen replied as though he was extrely well-off, leaving Ling’er at a loss for words.
“I heard that people are planning to attack Wasteland City.”
“Don’t worry, nothing will happen. With the New City Sect here, everything is under control.”
Out of the blue, Ling’er added, “As long as this guy is around, he alone can drive back Zen Master and the others.”
ng Yan naturally knew she was joking.
“That maid is just pulling your leg. But if I had to choose, I would definitely protect you first.” Ye Chen said.
