Wealth and glory seek stability

Lingbao shook his head pretending to be profound and said seriously: "Then we will listen to Master. We will follow Miss Jian Xi from now on."

Jian Xi was confused.

WTF?

Follow her?

Seeing that Jian Xi was puzzled, Mo Chuan handed the letter left by Mo Shoujian to Jian Xi.

After Jian Xi finished reading it, she found that the content was nothing more than instructions to Lingbao and Mo Chuan. At the very end, Mo Shoujian actually said that the opportunity to revitalize the Mo family's Tianshi lineage was in her hands.

???

Is this a bit of a joke?

However, Jian Xi thought about her future situation and felt that keeping Brother and Sister Mo Chuan around could indeed help.

Looking at the two men's attire, Lingbao was relatively clean, but the edges of Mo Chuan's Taoist robe were worn out, and Lingbao had lost a lot of the flesh that he had worked so hard to grow in Huashui Pavilion.

It's obvious that Mo Chuan, this thick-skinned guy, is not very good at taking care of children.

I'm afraid there won't be peace in the Xuanyuan Dynasty for the next ten years.

Thinking of this, Jian Xi made up her mind, "You can follow me."

Hearing this, Mo Chuan's eyes lit up, and Ling Bao also looked at Jian Xi with anticipation.

With these two funny people around, Jian Xi felt that the depressed mood she had been feeling for the past few days had improved a lot.

I think the days ahead won’t be boring.

"But we have to make three rules."

"Okay, don't just say three chapters, I'll promise you even thirty or three hundred chapters." Mo Chuan was busy expressing his opinion.

Lingbao glared at him, "Slippery tongue."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Lingbao went back to Shu and his temperament became much more cheerful.

Jian Xi quickly raised her hand to stop them. "Stop, stop arguing. If you keep arguing, we'll go our separate ways and find better jobs."

The two fell silent for a moment.

Jian Xi stretched out a finger and said, "First, I will not interfere in the internal affairs of your sect, but all of us in our group must listen to my opinions on the general direction." She must firmly secure her position as a leader.

Ling Bao and Mo Chuan looked at each other and nodded repeatedly, "Of course, there are two left."

Seeing that the two had no objection to the first point, Jian Xi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they listened to her, everything would be fine.

He extended his second finger, "Second, I will take care of your three meals and lodging, but I don't keep useless people under my command. You also have to do some things within your ability. If I need your help, you can't refuse."

Mo Chuan nodded, "What else?" As long as he had enough food and shelter, he didn't care about anything else. He had been eating and drinking for a while along the way, and he used the fifty taels of silver he had on him to arrange his master's funeral when he returned to Shu.

Lingbao also echoed, "Don't worry, young lady. We are not freeloaders. Our master made us swear before we left that we would not use Xuanmen magic to seek personal gain within five years. My brother and I are short of money now, and I haven't had enough to eat during this journey."

Lingbao lowered his head and looked at his belly, then mercilessly tore off the two people's fig leaves.

Mo Chuan was thick-skinned and didn't feel ashamed. Instead, he was smiling.

Jian Xi looked at the two of them. In her opinion, they were both half-grown children who had not grown up yet and had lost their master who had always protected them like a father and mother. Their smiles were just to let others know that they were living well and that they would not dare to bully them easily.

"Third, during our cooperation, you must abide by the above two points. If you want to leave, I won't stop you. I just hope that if you become successful in the future, you won't use magic to harm me. That would be a blessing."

"If we can abide by these three rules, can we follow you in the future?" Lingbao asked. Before his death, the master asked them to bring honor to the sect.

Since the master said that Jian Xi is their chance to revive the Mo family's Tianshi lineage, she will definitely listen to the master and carry forward the sect in the future.

Jian Xi smiled and nodded, "Of course."

Mo Chuan touched his somewhat shriveled stomach and said, "I'm so hungry, is there anything to eat?"

"Yes, we are about to leave. Let Mother Gui take you to the kitchen to have a good meal." As soon as Jian Xi finished speaking, Mo Chuan pulled Lingbao's hand and went to the outer courtyard to find Mother Gui.

Lingbao struggled a little, "Brother, isn't this bad for us?"

Mo Chuan felt good about himself. "Hey! Why are you being so polite to the girl? We are all grasshoppers on the same rope from now on. What's wrong with eating a little?"

Jian Xi:......

You are really not shy.

Jian Xi watched everyone pack up, then turned around and saw Mo Chuan with a round belly and a sesame cake in each hand.

"Not full yet?"

When Mo Chuan saw Jian Xi, he shyly put all the sesame cakes into his arms and smiled shyly, "I'm full, but I was really hungry during the journey." Ling Bao also nodded in agreement.

Jian Xi sighed and asked, "Can you ride a horse?"

Mo Chuan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yes, I can. My riding skills were taught by my master."

When the master was mentioned, the mood of the brothers and sisters instantly dropped.

Jian Xi pursed her lips, as if she saw herself back then, but it was a blessing in disguise that they met Mo Shoujian.

"You guys come with me."

There were two bundles in the room, one contained gold bars and jewelry, and the other contained some dry food and water bags. Jian Xi specifically asked the shopping servant to buy many of these necessary things for the journey, and also used this opportunity to spread the news that she was going to carry the coffin back to her hometown.

Mo Chuan took the package with trembling hands, his heart was shaking, "This... is this for me?" He had never seen so much silver in his life, how many sesame cakes could he buy with this?

Jian Xi interrupted ruthlessly, "No. This is the cost of our journey. I can't afford it. I'll trouble Taoist Mo Chuan to carry it. And this is dry food for the two of you. Take it."

Mo Chuan chuckled, "Hey! If you have anything to say, just tell me. You can call me Xiao Mo or Xiao Chuan. Calling me Taoist priest is too formal."

Jian Xi: It turns out that from ancient times to the present, the most powerful thing is still the power of money.

"Okay, Mo Chuan."

"Ma'am, everything has been packed and everyone has eaten. When can we leave?"

Zi Cui asked outside the door.

Mo Chuan quickly tied the bag around himself, looking ready for battle.

Jian Xi looked at the sky outside through the window. Gray clouds were floating darkly in the sky and there was a hint of moisture in the air. It seemed that it was going to rain soon. This was not good weather to go out.

"Give the order and set off immediately."

"Yes."

Jian Xi put on the mourning clothes she had worn before, put on a white velvet flower on her head, and walked out of the room.

Mo Chuan and Ling Bao followed behind Jian Xi, one on the left and one on the right. Both of them had Taoist buns on their heads and looked like immortals. Jian Xi's thin figure stood in the middle, creating an inexplicable harmony.

Jian Xi personally held up Madam Gao's tablet and walked out of Gao's house first.

She knew that at this moment, the spies around the Gao family should be able to pass the news back quickly.

She just had to bide her time.
