A glint of light flashed in Cen Xi's eyes.
"Is the person our master offended very powerful?"
Bai Ze felt that although Cen Xi's martial arts skills were not the pinnacle, they were still extremely powerful. Moreover, she came from a hidden sect. Who was it that made her so wary, and why did she need an army of one against a hundred to protect her?
"Yes! So your task is very important. I hope to see results in six months. I gave Liu Ji a plan before, but he was not capable enough and did not do it well. You go and observe for a month first. After a month, give me your opinion. As long as you train this army well, you will be able to return to Baicheng sooner or later, and it will not be too short."
Cen Xi didn't hide anything; she needed to give him enough trust so that he could train the soldiers she wanted.
"Thank you, Master! Bai Ze will do his utmost."
Bai Ze knelt down on one knee and gave Cen Xi a military salute. He had previously considered that even if his martial arts skills were enough to instantly kill Lu Muran, he might not be able to kill him.
But if he had an army, his chances of winning would be 80%.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for him to take this so seriously.
"I'm relieved to hear that! You observe for a month and fully cooperate with Liu Ji. After a month, I'll make arrangements for the two of you."
Cen Xicheng said.
"Yes, sir! Bai Ze will report to Commander Liu immediately!"
After bowing respectfully, Bai Ze strode out of the courtyard gate. One month is fine, he, Bai Ze, can wait.
"Master, you've already made arrangements for my brother, so what will happen to me in the future? Will I still be your maid?"
Seeing her brother walk away, A Xiang went up to Cen Xi and asked him.
What are your plans?
Cen Xi looked at the still-childish girl in front of her and asked.
“Master, I have no idea. My brother will avenge my mother and grandfather. Ah Xiang... Ah Xiang wants to follow you for the rest of her life, okay?”
Ah Xiang asked hesitantly.
"Then follow along for now. You have a long future ahead of you. You'll get married eventually, and a lifetime is far too long."
Cen Xi smiled gently at her.
"Alright! Master, then I'll share a room with you, so I can take better care of you!"
A genuine smile graced A Xiang's lips. Throughout the journey, Cen Xi had taken care of her and her brother like an older sister.
She knew she had chosen the right master.
Although she used to be a young lady, after her mother passed away, even the lowest-ranking maids and servants in the mansion would bully her and her brother.
If it weren't for Uncle Yu and a few other elderly people protecting her, and her benefactor Xiaoshulin rescuing her, she and her brother would have died long ago.
Where would I be today, whole and intact?
Therefore, her master was like a second parent to them, and she was willing to serve as a maid.
"While I do need a maidservant, I only consider you my assistant, so please don't use the term 'servant' anymore."
"From now on, I'll call you A-Xiang, and you can call me Sister! I'm older than you, so we'll address each other as sisters. You don't need to guard my courtyard; I'm used to living alone. You can have the room next to Zhu Jiuyi's!"
Cen Xi couldn't bear to tarnish the dignity of a woman from a military family, but she really had no one else to rely on, so she would treat her as an assistant for the time being.
"Yes! Sister! I know you care about me, and I will always remember it."
Although she was willing to be a maid, she was still quite touched by her master's arrangement.
"Yes! You must be tired from traveling, so let's all get some rest!"
Cen Xi glanced at the little fish in her arms, who was dozing off from being chattered, patted her hair, and then carried her into the main courtyard.
The next day, after Cen Xi woke up, she went to the study that Liu Ji had temporarily set up for her to handle official business.
I also sent a letter to Yu Kuang.
In truth, she didn't want to provoke Yu Kuang again, but the situation forced her to. Feifeng Mountain was about to face another major battle, and she had to deal with that scoundrel, so she couldn't spare any time to deal with the upcoming visit of Emperor Taizu Yan.
So Yu Kuang still had to shamelessly call Fei Feng Mountain over. Once she had completely killed that bastard, she could focus on dealing with Yan Taizu.
After dealing with Yan Taizu, she can finally focus on making money.
Once she has earned enough money, she won't feel resentful about not having spent all the money in her modern bank account.
She made a decision: this time, she would spend all the money she earned. She wanted to ensure that after she died, apart from leaving a small inheritance for Jiu Yi and Xiao Yu, she would personally spend all the rest.
Yu Kuang arrived quite quickly!
Just an hour after Cen Xi sent out his letter, this guy entered Cen Xi's study.
"You damn woman, you're back? You missed me after all?"
Yu Kuang, with his face still not fully healed, bombarded Cen Xi with a barrage of questions as soon as he entered.
What happened to your face?
Cen Xi's smile deepened when she saw the large lump on his left cheek. She never imagined that Yu Kuang could have gotten himself into such a state in just one month since she left.
He's still the same arrogant guy from his past life.
"What are you laughing at! Your beautiful wife from the Wen family has an even uglier face than mine."
Jun Jianchou glared at Cen Xi with feigned anger, then said in a fit of rage.
"Why did you two start fighting? Doesn't she like you? Why would she hit you? And why did you let her hit you?"
Seeing Jun Jianchou's bulging bag, Cen Xi couldn't hold back her smile any longer and burst into laughter.
"I knew you'd always be this heartless. If you have something to say, say it. If not, I don't want to see you. Didn't you say you liked that Shen Gou? Don't ask me for help if you don't have anything to say. Go ask him for help! I'm busy and don't have time to see an ungrateful woman like you."
Seeing her laughing so carefree, Jun Jianchou thought absentmindedly that no matter how much she laughed, she would never become his wife, and he felt a little awkward.
"Yu Kuang! After so many years of friendship, is it really impossible for our friendship to continue just because there is no love? If that's the case, then pretend I never wrote you this letter. You can leave now! Don't see me again, and I'll try my best to avoid places where you are in the future."
Seeing the fleeting sadness in Yu Kuang's eyes, Cen Xi felt bad too, but she truly couldn't bring herself to marry him against her will. If they could never return to their previous relaxed and comfortable way of meeting each other, then it would be best if they parted amicably.
This can be seen as putting a period to the past.
"What do you mean, 'Try to avoid me in the future'? Cen Xi, are you even going to trample on my last shred of dignity?"
Jun Jianchou's eyes turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"I…"
Seeing him like that, Cen Xi burst into tears. She looked at Jun Jianchou with heartache again and again, but she just couldn't bring herself to say that she could marry him.
"Alright! Tell me, what did you want to see me about today? I, Yu Kuang, have made a decision: I will no longer love you, I will no longer have any illusions about you, and from now on I will treat you as my little sister. Please don't say you're avoiding me anymore, I'm afraid I'll go crazy and do something that will harm you."
Yu Kuang tried his best to hold back his tears, and only after he calmed down did he speak.
