They led Yan Chiyu and the other two into the inner room.
The interior is vastly different from the dilapidated exterior; the style is simple yet exudes a sense of sophistication.
"Xiang Dongshu." The man stopped and introduced himself first.
Yan Chiyu pointed to the two people beside him, "Wu Yue, Mu Liuguang."
"Please sit down."
Several mahogany chairs were placed in the hall, their color glossy and translucent. Wu Yue could faintly smell the lingering fragrance of medicinal herbs from the mahogany, a scent that instantly invigorated the senses.
"To be honest, I was a little surprised when Yan messaged me. You can't even do something yourself, yet you're asking me for help. You think too highly of me!" Xiang Dongshu always had to say something unrelated before getting to the main topic. "Let me see what kind of soul it is."
As he spoke, he looked at Mu Liuguang, scrutinizing her for a long time before his eyes suddenly lit up with an excited gleam: "My God! This girl is perfect as a furnace vessel. Judging from the age of her soul body and her face, she could definitely fetch a high price at an auction house!"
Mu Liuguang: ...
Are you sure they're here to rescue her?
These words clearly indicate that she is to be sold off cheaply.
Yan Chiyu gave him a look that said, "Dongzi, you'll have to figure it out yourself."
"Alright, let's get down to business." Xiang Dongshu sat up straight, his eyes still showing some weariness, but he was also a little more energetic because of his excitement.
"This girl stumbled upon the perfect opportunity, and with the blessing of the mountain and sea monster's mark, she was able to cultivate into the ghost path. If she cultivates for another thousand or ten thousand years, she's guaranteed to become human."
"No, by then Old Que will have reincarnated countless times." Wu Yue waved her hand.
Xiang Dongshu nodded: "Of course, I know that human life is too short, so I won't keep this girl's little lover waiting too long. So, now there's a way that I don't know either."
Remembering how someone had confidently assured him on WeChat that everything was on him, and then seeing him now saying 'he doesn't know either,' Yan Chiyu's hands were already itching to act.
"Yan! Yan!"
Xiang Dongshu shrank back, his small face filled with terror: "Let me finish! I do have a secret technique unique to the Xiang family, but it can only extend this girl's life by a few years. However! There is a way to solve this once and for all: find my aunt!"
"Your aunt?"
Yan Chiyu frowned slightly. "Weren't you kicked out of the Xiang family? Can you go back?"
Furthermore, he had never heard of any particularly remarkable women from Xiang Dongshu's previous generation.
"It's my nephew Xiang Xinian's grandma, Li Chuan! It's really strange, I always thought my aunt was just an ordinary lady from a wealthy family. After my uncle died, her life was very boring. She would just water the flowers and do square dancing. But I never expected that when Xinian's pet died, it was my aunt who brought it back to life! Can you believe it?!" Xiang Dongshu himself spoke with an incredulous tone.
He paused to take a sip of water before continuing, "Xi Nian told me about this secretly, luckily he and I are good friends. Hehe. So, tomorrow I'll have Xi Nian make a connection and invite Aunt Li Chuan out for a meeting. You can tell her directly what you want then."
Yan Chiyu's expression froze. "So, in the end, I still have to persuade your aunt?"
"Hehe, after all, I don't have the guts." Xiang Dongshu said, his voice full of self-righteousness despite his lack of conviction. "I'm now an illegitimate young master who's been kicked out of the Xiang family. Look at me, my living quarters are getting more and more shabby."
After saying that, Xiang Dongshu sighed symbolically, "Yan, I was even thinking of going to the capital to seek refuge with you."
Yan Chiyu: "Not really welcome."
Xiang Dongshu: "..." I don't want to ruin our years of friendship today because of your careless words.
