Chapter 60: Becoming the Brightest Lighthouse



"The number one assassin's guild in the world, huh!" Luo Xi clicked his tongue, his sarcasm obvious.

Jiu Xian's eyes narrowed involuntarily, and his already expressionless handsome face grew darker and darker, eventually matching the black ash at the bottom of the pot.

“Azure Dragon—” he called out in a deep voice.

"Master, Protector Qing is still burying the body over there." A man in black jumped down from the tree and knelt tremblingly in the courtyard, his face almost touching the ground.

Jiuxian stared intently at the man in black on the ground, making him tremble, before coldly saying, "Give the order that everyone in the Red Pavilion will have an extra hour of training starting today."

A few drops of cold sweat dripped from the man in black's forehead as he replied with difficulty, "Yes!"

This is terrible! They only have less than three hours of rest left. If they add another hour of training, then...

He was dejected and about to leave when he heard Jiu Xian say, "Tell Bai Hu that he doesn't need to stay in the secluded valley anymore. Go find someone and atone for his sins."

"Make amends for my crimes?" The black-clad man's lips curled up as he lowered his head.

That works. Next time the original poster asks again, someone will be there to take the blame.

"Yes, OP." He replied eagerly.

Luo Xi stood to the side, snacking on her food, and watched them finish speaking without interrupting. Then she said, "There's no rush to find them. We can take our time. I have a better idea."

Man in black: "..."

Lady Luo, could you tell me earlier next time?

So you weren't the one being punished.

"Tell me about it," Jiuxian said, clearly intrigued.

He didn't believe that if even the Red Mansion couldn't find someone like that, who else could?

Luo Xi patted the crumbs of snacks in his hand, gazed at the highest mountain in the distance, and smiled: "Have someone spread the news throughout the entire Yunqi Dynasty."

"Tell me, the woman who recently robbed all the mountain strongholds was named Luo Xi. Now she has become an outlaw in the northernmost part of Tongning County, calling it Chaoyang Mountain Villa."

"Anyone looking for trouble or seeking revenge is welcome to come and fight! I'm waiting for them."

Since she couldn't find Chu Zhe in the vast sea of ​​people, she decided to make herself the brightest lighthouse in the world, so that Chu Zhe could see her whenever he looked up.

Chaoyang was the name of the safe base they were in in their previous life. Combined with the name Luo Xi, Chu Zhe would definitely know that it was her.

Jiuxian was taken aback at first, but after a moment his eyes lit up: "That's a good idea."

He could almost see endless streams of human flesh... his enemies rushing toward him.

Well, we can put the assassination of the crown prince on hold for now.

"One more thing, the master of the Red Mansion, Jiuxian, is also here. If you defeat me, you will receive 100,000 taels of gold. If you lose, you will stay here and do hard labor."

Loxi: "..."

Unable to contain his laughter, he raised his hand and punched him lightly: "Nine Strings understands me best, so let's do it this way."

This way, not only can the news of her presence be spread, but it can also recruit manpower for their mountain stronghold.

"However, 100,000 taels of gold is too much; it's a huge loss!"

Nine Strings' expression didn't change at all: "Then you'd have to be able to beat me first."

So confident? Rosie looked over: "Can I participate?"

One hundred thousand taels of gold!

Nine Strings, who has never won: "..."

"Fifty shows, 100,000 taels of gold." His eyes flashed, and he raised his demands.

"Ten games," Rosie bargained.

They often fight anyway when they're broke, so why refuse to pay them now that they have money?

I'd take a dozen sparring partners who come to my door with money.

"thirty!"

"fifteen!"

"twenty!"

“Deal!” Rose readily agreed.

"Shall we have a match now?" Jiuxian was eager to try.

"OK!"

The man in black standing nearby watched the two locked in a fierce and evenly matched fight, and a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

It's like hot oil meeting cold water – it splattered everywhere!

The group of people under the landlord are already exhausted, and now with the even more outrageous Luo Niangzi, they will be played to death sooner or later.

He should go and bring back the Green Protector; he's too unlucky to be able to handle such a cushy job as the Lord.

Ah, a smelly corpse is still more adorable.

Luo Xi didn't care what others thought. After arranging things for Jiu Xian, she called over Uncle Zhou, who was almost done with his work.

"Boss, you wanted to see me?" Uncle Zhou said respectfully after bowing to Luo Xi.

Luo Xi hummed in agreement, then pointed to the chair next to her and said, "Uncle Zhou, sit down and let's talk."

Uncle Zhou, however, was filled with trepidation: “Master, you mustn’t, you mustn’t. How could I be worthy to call you Uncle? You can just call me Zhou Cang.”

Luo Xi glanced at him indifferently and did not insist: "Alright, then let's call him Manager Zhou. From now on, the affairs of the fields will be temporarily managed by you."

"I heard you used to be the manager of this farm?"

Leaving professional tasks to professionals often yields different results.

“That was true before.” Zhou Cang was somewhat stunned: “Boss, but this, but this…”

He kept tugging at his clothes and rubbing the back of his hands, his face turning a deep purplish-red.

"But you've only known me for a few days." How could you entrust such an important matter to him?

Moreover, he used to only manage a small part of the farm, and he only got the position after working for Master Zhao for so long. But now, judging from the head of the household's intentions, he wants to hand over the entire farm to him.

That must require immense power and trust.

Zhou Cang was immediately overwhelmed by a warm feeling and a sense of responsibility.

Luo Xi slowly sipped her tea and asked in return, "That's my business. Just tell me, will you take this job or not?"
