The sun rose high in the sky, and the structure of Sky Street instantly changed back to how it was a hundred years ago. The government once again firmly controlled the Chamber of Commerce. Some people were sad, while others were happy. The new vested interests were naturally happy. Xu Tangran was happy to be in charge again. Zhou Ran and Wu Hanshan had both committed suicide at the gate of the Guardian Palace, which meant that the general had won. His previous worries were gone, and a group of shopkeepers said they wanted to invite the general to a banquet.
Although he had the final say in the Xicheng District, the smell of blood on Sky Street was still there. It would be inappropriate to attend the banquet now, so Xu Tangran naturally refused. However, now that he was a popular person, there were naturally people who catered to his liking. They knew that he was more interested in the woman from the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant and even almost forced himself on her. They immediately expressed that they had already invited Xue Linglong.
As night fell, not long after Xu Tangran left for the banquet, Bao Lian ran over to Miao Yi and complained, "My Lord, Xu Tangran is too much. Such a big incident just happened, and now he's hanging out with a bunch of merchants, eating and drinking."
Lying on the recliner with his eyes closed, Miao Yi calmly said, "His character isn't all that great, but he still knows his limits when it comes to handling matters in the Western District. Sometimes, socializing is also considered official business."
"Sir, it's not official business. Those shops know that he's interested in Xue Linglong, so they're just trying to please him. Sir is here all alone and exhausted, but he is eating, drinking, and having fun, watching Xue Linglong sing and dance. What is he thinking? "
"He's interested in Xue Linglong …" Miao Yi slowly opened his eyes. Naturally, he knew about this. Xu Tangran had always been very supportive of Xue Linglong, so he had heard about it for a long time. After a moment of silence, he said, "Tell him to come see me."
"Yes, sir!" Bao Lian was overjoyed. His master was going to teach that ass-kisser a lesson. Bao Lian turned around and pulled out his Star Bell.
Very quickly, Xu Tangran left the banquet and rushed over as fast as he could. He didn't dare to delay the summons here. As soon as he saw Miao Yi, he immediately bowed respectfully, "Milord!"
The scenery outside was beautiful, but the moment they arrived here, they would immediately bow and scrape.
Bao Lian was ready to watch the show.
Lying down with his eyes closed, Miao Yi asked calmly, "You went to see Xue Linglong again?"
"Uh …" The smile on Xu Tangran's face froze, and he felt a chill down his spine. It was obvious that the Master already knew that he had gone to the banquet. He also knew that it was not the right time to eat and drink, but he could not hold it in. He snuck a peek at Bao Lian, suspecting that Bao Lian was telling on him again. But he didn't have time to worry about that now. He said fearfully, "I know I was wrong. I won't do it again."
Lying on the bed, Miao Yi raised a finger and said, "I know you like Xue Linglong, but it wouldn't be good if you let your soul wander off and ruin your plans. Since you like her, then just accept her. Otherwise, your heart will always be itching for her."
Accepted? Accept who? Xu Tangran was still on tenterhooks and had a cold sweat. He was worried that he would be silenced. Who would have thought that something like this would happen to him? He was immediately dumbfounded and thought that he had heard wrongly.
Bao Lian, who was ready to watch the drama unfold, was dumbfounded. He thought he had heard wrong.
The servile Xu Tangran looked at Miao Yi's expression and cautiously asked, "Milord, who do you want me to accept?"
Miao Yi slowly said, "Don't play dumb. Haven't you always liked Xue Linglong? Now it's your turn. If you don't want her, then forget it. "
Bao Lian understood, and his face was filled with shock.
Xu Tangran understood as well, and his face lit up with joy. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes. How could I disobey Milord's good intentions? I want her, I want her, but …" His face quickly turned worried. "Milord, didn't you say that her background …"
Back then, when he was stopped by Miao Yi from stealing Xue Linglong, Miao Yi told him that Xue Linglong had some sort of hidden background, which scared him to death. Now, he couldn't help but worry that Miao Yi was trying to use him for something.
Miao Yi said, "You were also misled by Huangfu Jun? Later, I realized that he was just an entertainer. How could he have any background? His background was none other than Huangfu Jun. Y。”
Xu Tangran was excited, but he still asked cautiously, "What if Manager Huangfu …"
Huangfu Jun? He was still wary of Y's background. Back then, he only dared to go against Xue Linglong because he had received the Celestial Emperor's title during the assessment. He would never dare to do anything like that.
Miao Yi calmly said, "I'm here. What are you afraid of?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Tangran was instantly overjoyed.
Miao Yi finally opened his eyes and looked at him. With a serious tone, he said, "You've been doing well recently!"
Xu Tangran immediately understood. It seemed that this was a reward for his recent actions. Otherwise, he wouldn't have offended Huangfu Jun for him. Y hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Milord! Thank you, Milord! I will never forget your kindness. "
Miao Yi said, "You can take her back, but you still have to follow the rules. Madam Xu is an old acquaintance of mine. It wasn't easy for her to make Xue Linglong the center of attention. If you take her away, it'll be the same as ruining her career. You can't be stingy with the money you need to redeem her. If you want to eat her, you have to pay the price. Don't leave any loose ends here. "
"Understood, understood." Xu Tangran nodded repeatedly.
Miao Yi waved his hand. "Go!"
"I'll take my leave!"
As soon as Xu Tangran left, the palace guards almost floated in the air. They were so happy they couldn't close their mouths. The meat that so many people couldn't get was going to fall into their hands. What a generous man!
As soon as Xu Tangran left, Bao Lian didn't know what to do. He was a little anxious. He didn't manage to take down Xu Tangran, but he ended up dragging Xue Linglong into this mess. What the hell was he doing?
"Milord! Xu Tangran is a despicable man. How could you give Xue Linglong to him? "Bao Lian couldn't help but speak up.
"An actress and a despicable man are a match made in heaven, aren't they?" Miao Yi smiled.
"Milord! If word of this gets out, it will affect your reputation. Please take back your order! "Bao Lian cupped his fists and pleaded for Xue Linglong.
"Bao Lian, don't you think it's a little too quiet? Have you ever heard of throwing a stone to test the waters? Xue Linglong is that stone. Besides, Commander Xu really likes her. It's not a disgrace for her to follow Commander Xu. "
"Milord …"
"Alright! If you don't like following me, you can go to the Fourth City District and find a suitable location. "
"…" Bao Lian's eyes widened. He shut his mouth and slowly lowered his head. He knew that his attempt to influence Miao Yi's decision had angered him. He felt extremely guilty. If he hadn't provoked Miao Yi this time, Xue Linglong wouldn't have been in this mess.
The banquet ended early. The Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant's guests had just returned to their rooms and were about to close the door. However, they were blocked by people descending from the sky and pushed open the door.
The waiter stared blankly at the large group of celestial soldiers outside. He quickly turned around and shouted, "Madam Xu!"
The two people who came in immediately pushed him aside. Behind them, a cheerful Xu Tangran strode in, followed by a dozen or so people who stood around him.
Madam Xu ran down the stairs. When she saw Xu Tangran, she was a little nervous. She still remembered the incident when she tried to rob him. Now, she had to force a smile on her face. "Oh! What brings you here, Commander Xu? "
Xu Tangran looked around. His attention was not on her at all. He asked, "Where's Xue Linglong? Tell her to come out and see me. "
Madam Xu immediately became nervous. She smiled apologetically and said, "What a coincidence. She's already resting. Commander, do you have any orders?"
"Nonsense! Why is she resting when she just came back? Do you think I can't afford it? Don't block my way! "Xu Tangran waved his hand and pushed her to the side. Then, he rushed upstairs.
"Commander Xu, Commander Xu …" Madam Xu chased after him and shouted. At the same time, she quickly turned around and gave a look to the people below to ask for help.
Unfortunately, Xu Tangran came prepared. The people below were immediately restrained by Xu Tangran's men. They couldn't go anywhere.
They couldn't stop him! Xu Tangran finally broke into Xue Linglong's room.
When she saw him, Xue Linglong, who was removing her makeup, stood up in shock and slowly retreated to the wall.
When Xu Tangran saw her, he felt extremely happy. He had been thinking about her for so many years. He thought he would never be able to see her again. Who would have thought that! He waved his hand and said, "Miss Ling Long, don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. It's a good thing." He turned around and shouted, "Mother Xu, I can't bear to see Miss Ling Long descend into prostitution. Today, I'm here to redeem Miss Ling Long. How much is it? Name a price."
"Ah!" Mother Xu hurriedly waved her hands. "Lord Commander, you can't do that, you can't do that!"
Xu Tangran couldn't be bothered with her? Playing with aluminum? Warehouse? Long Si also changed. Gamma? Recovery Rod? Siyi Huo? Gather together? Lang Yao Yao? What? Buck messing around? Porcelain Chao Chao Chao Chao Yi Bi Nei Zheng? Cower in fear? Angry at Pu Xiao? What about giving up? Buying a plot of land for a prostitute's grave? Jujutsu
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked to Xue Linglong's side in big strides. He looked at her affectionately.
Xue Linglong, on the other hand, was so nervous that her whole body was trembling. She had nowhere to retreat and her back was already pressed against the wall.
Hu! Xu Tangran heaved a sigh of relief. Without saying anything, he suddenly reached out and carried Xue Linglong horizontally in his arms. Then, he strode away.
"Let go of me!" Xue Linglong struggled anxiously.
Xu Tangran, who had suffered under her threat of suicide, hurriedly placed a restriction on her body to control her mana. Then, he laughed and left. He felt that this was the happiest thing in life.
"Commander Xu, you can't do that. We …" Mother Xu wanted to chase after him but realized that there were two knives on her neck. She swallowed her words back in fear.
Someone sneered. "Mother Xu, don't be so stubborn. Commander Xu is the Commander's favorite. He's already giving you face by taking a liking to your number one girl. Don't be so shameless. The smell of blood on Sky Street hasn't dissipated yet. We don't mind having another shopkeeper's head!"
"…" Mother Xu shrunk her neck. The image of thousands of heads falling to the ground appeared in her mind.
