Seeing Xie Guangbai's embarrassed expression, Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Next time, next time for sure."

Xie Guangbai sighed helplessly, feeling regret for the first time. When his grandfather made him learn martial arts when he was a child, why did he complain about being tired and not put in more effort?

Otherwise, there would be no need for the master, a young lady, to carry him around.

Xu Jinhuan had no idea what her newly recruited subordinate was thinking. She used her lightness skill to return to the vicinity of her own grain shop and placed Xie Guangbai in a corner.

"Wait for me here. I'm going to buy some oranges. Oh, I just said it offhand. I'm going to take care of something. Once I'm done, I'll take you away from the capital."

After Xie Guangbai regained his footing, he immediately bowed to Xu Jinhuan upon hearing this, saying, "Master, please go ahead with your business. Guangbai will wait here."

Xu Jinhuan looked at Xie Guangbai's awkward posture, which was made even bowing by the bundle tied around his abdomen, and asked what was on her mind.

Why did you put the package inside your clothes and tie it to your stomach?

After hearing Xu Jinhuan's question, Xie Guangbai scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I was originally carrying it on my back, but as I was walking, a little eunuch suddenly shouted that there was a ghost, and then he fainted."

I guessed that it was because the bundle wasn't invisible that the little eunuch saw a bundle floating in mid-air, which led to the misunderstanding.

Then I remembered that my clothes might be invisible, so I put the package inside them and tried it out. Sure enough, no one could see it. So, I simply tied it around my waist.

Although it's a bit unseemly, no one saw me like this, so it's not embarrassing.

After Xie Guangbai finished speaking, the embarrassed expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a carefree laugh.

Xu Jinhuan sighed helplessly, "This isn't a big deal. Just tell me directly. Take out your bag, and I'll help you become invisible."

Upon hearing this, Xie Guangbai turned around, rummaged around, took out the bundle, then turned back and handed it to the void.

Xu Jinhuan simply waved his hand, using his invisibility ability to envelop the bundle. "Alright, you can carry it however you like now, no one will see it."

Xie Guangbai said with a smile, "Thank you, Master!"

Xu Jinhuan waved his hand dismissively, then, remembering that Xie Guangbai couldn't see, he added.

"I estimate it will take at least half an hour. If there is someone you want to say goodbye to, you can go and see them, but you can only look and not talk to them or reveal yourself."

Xie Guangbai gave a bitter laugh upon hearing this, "Thank you for your concern, Master, but since the Xie family members were beheaded and their heads displayed in public, all my former friends have scattered like birds and beasts. Who do I have left to say goodbye to?"

Xu Jinhuan was not good at comforting others, so she patted his shoulder lightly and said half-jokingly, "It's okay, out with the old, in with the new, it's a good time to start a new life."

Xie Guangbai smiled upon hearing this, the worry in his eyes instantly disappearing. "What you say is true, Master. You should go and get back to work."

Xu Jinhuan nodded, said "I'm leaving" to him, and flew away.

In another corner, Xu Jinhuan took out the disguise mask from his spatial storage, put it on, and then withdrew his invisibility ability before heading towards the grain shop.

Even though it was only 3:45 AM, many people had already gathered in front of the grain shop, waiting to buy grain.

Moreover, Xu Jinhuan was surprised to find that the grain shop had already opened its doors and was ready to open for business. These shop assistants were really diligent.

The quick-witted shop assistant, Jian Jinming, came out and greeted the people in line.

"Everyone, don't rush. Our grain store has plenty, and everyone can buy some. So let's all line up properly and not get hurt while fighting for grain. Come on, the first five go in to buy grain."

After hearing his words, the previously anxious people immediately lined up obediently.

The shopkeeper said there was plenty of food, and he could buy it sooner or later, so he just waited in line.

Xu Jinhuan also walked towards the door at this moment. Before he had taken a few steps, the clever waiter Jian Jinming went to meet him.

"You've arrived, please come in."

Xu Jinhuan smiled at him and went into the grain shop.

Some people in the line were indignant when they saw Xu Jinhuan cut in line, and they said to Jian Jinming.

"You just told us to line up properly, how come she was able to get in without lining up? Could she be a relative of yours?"

Before Jian Jinming could reply, the people who had been queuing to buy grain the night before answered for him.

"Hey, don't be so sour. She's the owner of this shop. If it weren't for her, you'd be asking for cheap food? Go eat shit!"

"That's right, that's right. Thanks to this owner, we're able to eat food that hasn't gone up in price. Everyone in line should remember what the owner looks like so we can greet him if we ever run into him!"

“I’ll remember, I’ll remember. Once the flood recedes and grain prices stop rising, I’ll continue to come to this grain shop to support this conscientious owner.”

Upon hearing these words, the indignant man blushed with embarrassment and apologized to Jian Jinming.

"Alas, my old eyes are failing me. I'm so sorry, young man. I misunderstood you and my employer."

Jian Jinming smiled and said, "It's alright, ma'am. It's fine if you object to cutting in line. From now on, we'll rely on you to help maintain order in our store's queues."

Hearing this, the old woman felt even more ashamed. "Young man, don't worry, from now on, whenever I come to buy grain, no one else will be allowed to cut in line!"

Others responded enthusiastically, saying, "We'll help too, we must stop cutting in line!"

While people were queuing up to buy grain, Chi Damin in the backyard was feeling extremely miserable.

"Grandma, is there something you want to tell me?" Chi Damin hadn't eaten dinner last night and was now wolfing down the food his waiter had brought him.

Just as he let out a satisfied sigh, he saw Xu Jinhuan walking slowly towards him.

"Hiccup..."

He was so startled that he choked on the food left in his mouth. After struggling to swallow it, he saw Xu Jinhuan looking at him and couldn't help but burp in fright.

"Hiccup~"

Xu Jinhuan was actually considering how to deal with Chi Damin. Originally, she planned to get rid of Chi Damin through Long Wangcai.

As a result, she accidentally went to the Long residence and discovered the shady workshop, which led to Long Wangcai being imprisoned...

However, they will still make a scene at Jinlong Grain Shop, but this time they will do it in a different way.

"Chi Damin."

Upon hearing Xu Jinhuan call his name, Chi Damin immediately replied tremblingly, "Master, I'm here. Please give me your orders."

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "In a little while, you'll go directly to Jinlong Grain Shop as we agreed yesterday, but you'll need to rephrase it."

They claimed that family members who ate their grain fell seriously ill, and that the family used moldy rice to pass off inferior goods as high-quality rice.

Chi Damin was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this. "Master, you're trying to kill me! If I say something like that, Manager Long will definitely have someone beat me to death!"
