Zirong looked at the head guard with a half-smile and said lightly, "Boss, do you think there's no future in following the eldest young master? But the eldest young master gave us two very precious medicinal herbs on the first day."
"Medicinal herbs, medicinal herbs! Can you rely on medicinal herbs for the rest of your life? It's okay once, but can it be okay every time? What future can you have by following the eldest master?" The head guard looked at Hua Yue's back angrily, then turned around and said with a sad face, "I think you have good potential, and this is for your own good." After that, he pulled over a guard next to him, patted the guard on the shoulder, and continued to persuade him earnestly.
"Look at him, not to mention following Young Master Mu Cheng, even if he had followed me, he would have gone from the first-level swordsman to the second-level swordsman in just half a year! If he had followed Young Master Mu Cheng, he might have reached the third-level by now! Tell me, do you two think he has a future?" The head guard patted the guard's shoulder and looked at Hua Yue and Zirong angrily.
"Wow, she really has a bright future," Zirong said in an exaggerated tone, looking very envious. This finally made the head guard feel a little relieved.
"But, boss, you know, the eldest master has chosen the most suitable martial arts for us." Zirong said innocently with her eyes wide open.
"That's a coincidence!" the head guard argued firmly.
"Boss, what you said makes sense and sounds promising." Zirong seemed to be thinking hard and was very conflicted. "But, Huayue and I are already at the third level of swordsmanship." Zirong sighed.
"That's right, it's good that you know. Of course I'm pointing you towards a more promising path... Wait, wait! What did you say? Level three? You're all level three swordsmen?" The head guard had a look of astonishment on his face, his face turning green. Level three swordsman? You're kidding me, it's that fast! It's only been a few days? It's only been a few days! These two are incredible. They're so damn lucky, ahhhhh, I'm so envious. Thinking back to when he... Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore, it's all tears.
"You guys are so lucky! You're so lucky. The eldest master is so lucky that he chose a technique that suits you right away." The head guard thought about his own cultivation history and felt so jealous that he wanted to pull his hair.
"If you still think it's a coincidence, I have nothing to say." Zirong showed a cynical smile on her face, ate another broad bean, and waved to the head guard with a smile, "Boss, I still have to go and deliver food to the eldest young master, so I'll have to stay with you for now."
When the head guard heard Zirong's words, he stood there in a daze.
What does it mean? What does Zirong mean?
Zirong took a few steps, then suddenly stopped again. He tilted his head, and when the head guard glared at him, he slowly said, "Also, I forgot to tell you that because we two have been so effective in protecting the eldest young master, the lady herself has increased our monthly wages to one hundred taels."
After saying this, Zirong hummed a little tune and walked away, leaving the head guard frozen in place.
After a long while, the head guard finally reached out his hand, looked at his fingers, and counted them one by one. Tears welled up in his heart. Zirong and Huayue's monthly wages were now higher than his! Sob! Such a shame! He also wanted to be the eldest son's guard. Madam is incredibly wealthy, everyone knows that. Perhaps the entire City Lord's Mansion combined doesn't have as much as Madam's private stash.
Who is the most promising person to follow? The head guard stood there stupidly, and suddenly felt a little pain on his face.
