The Secret of the Goddess

Chapter 12 Ridiculously Good

After leaving the mansion lord's study, Xue Yi sighed: "Fortunately, the eldest lady came out in time, otherwise I might have died."

At this time, there were not many people around, and the mansion lord and Tieyi's induction could not reach that far.

Xiao Qingruo said lightly: "You owe me a life."

"Well, I owe you a life, I'll be gentler next time." Seeing that no one was around, Xue Yi was in a good mood and joked.

"Asshole..."

Xiao Qingruo was angry at his gangster attitude, and remembered what happened after the second assassination failed last night, and couldn't help but clenched his fist.

"By the way, you were so cool just now, I was almost convinced by you." Xue Yi sighed again.

"Basic operation." Xiao Qingruo snorted lightly, pretending to be calm, as if it was just a trivial matter.

She has a lot of experience. It is obviously impossible to succeed to make trouble at the door of the mansion lord's study. She deliberately made such a fuss, purely to show Xu Lingtian and Xu Lingzhi a sense of power, and to protect Xue Yi by the way.

If she really wanted to do it, she would definitely hit Xu Lingzhi with one palm, making her spit blood.

...But she didn't have the strength to do so, so she just acted like this, dragged it out, and waited for the mansion lord to express his attitude before ending it.

In this way, the mansion lord would also think that she was very measured, just to establish her authority and intimidate, rather than to act rashly. Even if the people being intimidated were the mansion lord's own children, they would give Xiao Qingruo a thumbs up and say "well handled"!

This is called a professional actor!

Not only must the acting skills be good, but the psychological state of the people around her and the possible actions must also be grasped in place.

Otherwise, a small negligence will lead to her eternal damnation!

"The eldest lady is unparalleled in power, and your subordinates admire her with all their might!" Xue Yi flattered her.

Anyway, flattering is free. When he was outside, he tried his best to make Xiao Qingruo happy and give her enough face.

At night, it will be the other way around!

"Speaking of which, I was a little surprised that you protected me just now."

After walking for a while, Xue Yi said.

In fact, in the situation just now, if Xiao Qingruo had lowered her attitude a little and not defended him so seriously, he might have died.

But she didn't.

Xiao Qingruo explained the reason: "My face cannot be trampled by anyone. You are my person, so I naturally have to protect it. And... you are right, we are in a cooperative relationship, we prosper together and suffer together."

Hearing this, Xue Yi was immediately overjoyed.

The eldest lady is still very sensible!

That's right, the two of them work together to maintain the identity of "eldest lady", and there will be no worries about benefits in the future!

However... since she can think so, why did she assassinate him twice last night?

Did she figure it out after the assassination failed?

Intriguing!

After walking along the road in the mansion for a while, there were more people around.

At this time, Xue Yi found that Xiao Qingruo did not return to Lanyuan, but took another road.

"Eldest lady, where are we going now?" he asked.

There were servants and guards around, and the conversation between the two became much more normal.

Xiao Qingruo replied: "You have just been fined three months by the mansion lord. I will take you to get some things to make up for it."

This was said neither lightly nor heavily, just loud enough for people around to hear.

The matter in the study room had not been spread yet. Tieyi was tight-lipped and would not say anything. Xu Lingzhi and Xu Lingtian would definitely not tell anyone about it, so this matter would basically not be known to anyone.

But as soon as Xiao Qingruo opened her mouth, the situation was different.

Everyone immediately analyzed curiously, why was Xue Yi fined three months by the mansion lord?

And just after being fined by the mansion lord, the eldest lady took him to get other resources. Isn't this a slap in the face of the mansion lord on the spot?

The eldest lady is getting bolder and bolder!

And she is ridiculously good to her new personal guard!

"Thank you, eldest lady!"

Xue Yi was flattered and said quickly.

It was not completely fake. He really didn't expect Xiao Qingruo to be so good to him.

Although there was a component of her wanting to establish her authority, the benefits fell into his hands.

The two went to the Treasure Pavilion in the warehouse area.

The warehouse area is very large, with places for storing food and grass, buildings for storing weapons, and a Treasure Pavilion for collecting rare herbs.

It is definitely not okay to receive money after being fined, otherwise it is really a face-saving output for the mansion lord. Even if Xiao Qingruo has a big face, she will be punished.

But receiving rare herbs, the rewards and punishments are not on the same track, there is no problem at all.

"Miss, you are here."

There are four doors to the Treasure Pavilion, all of which are closed at this time. There is a team of guards guarding the door, and a middle-aged steward in cloth clothes.

The entire warehouse area is very important, and the Treasure Pavilion is the top priority. Usually, people in the mansion are strictly prohibited from trespassing.

But Xiao Qingruo is different. In this place, she can go wherever she wants!

"I want to take some rare herbs." Xiao Qingruo said.

The middle-aged steward is named Gao Feng. Hearing this, he asked: "Is it for the young lady to use herself, or is it a reward for others?"

There is a way to this sentence. If the young lady uses it herself, no matter what she wants, he will not have any objection.

But if you want to give it to someone else, you have to think about it.

Rare herbs are very precious, Xiao Qingruo can't do anything rash, and honestly replied: "Give it to my guard."

"Guard... personal guard. Okay, Miss, please come in."

Gao Feng looked at Xue Yi, nodded, and opened the second door on the left.

These four doors represent four qualities of rare treasures. The more you go to the right, the more precious they are. The second door on the left is of medium quality, but only core members can enter to receive it, and it depends on merit.

Ordinary people in the mansion are not qualified to enter even the first door on the left unless they have made great contributions, let alone the second door.

As for the one on the far right, only strong people in the realm of immortality can enter.

Xue Yi cannot enter without merit, so Xiao Qingruo enters alone to select rare treasures.

After only about 5 minutes, she came out with two wooden boxes in her hands.

"Miss, let me take a look." Gao Feng stepped forward and took the box. He needed to count and register the things she received.

Xue Yi looked at him expectantly.

Gao Feng opened the two wooden boxes at the same time and took a look.

"Thousand-year-old red blood ginseng!"

"Heavenly silkworm dragon claw grass!"

Seeing these two spiritual medicines, Gao Feng's face turned green.

These are the best things in the second door on the left, and their quality is not much inferior to the precious medicinal materials in the second door on the right.

Xiao Qingruo took these two as soon as he entered. It was really cruel!

Xue Yi was also stunned. These two herbs could be sold for at least several thousand taels of silver outside.

He only earned 20 taels of silver a month as a second-class guard, which was a very high salary compared to ordinary people, but he had to work for decades to afford one of them.

The key is that these two things can improve his skills, which is exactly what he needs most now!

With these two herbs, the assessment in three days will probably be much easier!

"Miss, I am willing to go through fire and water for you!" He hurriedly said words of gratitude in an excited tone, swearing to be loyal to the young lady until death.

This is not entirely pretending.

"Can we go?" Xiao Qingruo asked Gao Feng.

Gao Feng nodded to indicate that it was okay.

But at this moment!

"Wait a minute."

An old voice came from outside.

A white-haired old man walked in with a young man from outside.

"Seventh Elder."

"Hello, Seventh Elder!"

Gao Feng and Xue Yi both saluted quickly, and Xiao Qingruo also shouted.

The white-haired old man is short, but his aura is not weak at all. He has a long-lasting aura and has entered the third level of the realm of immortality. He is now more than 200 years old. He is one of the veteran strongmen of Shengwei Mansion. He has made great contributions and has a high prestige.

The Seventh Elder looked at the herbs selected by Xiao Qingruo and said unhappily: "Miss, I also like these two herbs. I want to use them for my great-grandson to break through the cave heaven."

The status of the Seventh Elder is very high. In Shengwei Mansion, few people dare to compete with him for things.

But Xiao Qingruo dared!
