Chapter 425: Baidouxuan changes owners
"Look, you're still so fierce when asking for help!"
Nan Xuan pretended to be aggrieved, "Alas, as expected, after raising my apprentice, he has become an ungrateful wolf. It's pitiful that I spent all my efforts and took care of you..."
Ye Jingzhen: ...
He rubbed his throbbing temples and said helplessly, "Master, I'm sorry to bother you this time. When I'm done, I'll definitely offer you some fine wine."
"No need for the wine." Nan Xuan's expression changed immediately and he said with a smile, "Now that Miao Yi and the others have left, if there's nothing else, I'll pack up and take Ling An back."
"What? Go back to your world of two?" Ye Jingzhen curled the corners of his lips and gave him a playful look.
Nan Xuan:......
"You little bastard, you're not learning your lesson? Go back and take care of my paradise!"
Before, at Huya Mountain in Feishui Village, he placed his space outside and built a paradise, but it was later destroyed by Fei Meng and his men.
Later, after he went up the mountain, he rescued Yun Ran, Ye Jingzhen and others, took back the broken space, and spent several years repairing it.
Now that it is finally almost repaired, I want to choose a place to relocate it and build a new paradise.
Seeing that he raised his voice in anger, Ye Jingzhen pursed his lips and chuckled, "It was you who teased me and Ranran first."
"Tsk, that little bastard is quite vindictive." Nan Xuan rolled his eyes at him without any hesitation.
Ye Jingzhen stopped making a fuss and said seriously, "Go check first. The snake witch also lives in the Heshun Palace. You can focus on searching his room."
"As long as you find evidence, you can take Ling An wherever you want."
Nan Xuan:......
This is quite strange. He is obviously my master, so why do I have to get his permission to go anywhere I want?
Having made the decision, the two came out of Green Bean Pavilion and left separately. Ye Jingzhen returned to the capital, and Nan Xuan carried a large bag of exquisite snacks and went back to Shanhai Tower.
Nan Xuan had just walked downstairs to Shanhai Tower when he heard someone calling him from upstairs.
He looked up and saw Yun Ran waving at him from the window on the third floor.
Nan Xuan picked up the snack in his hand, shook it at her, and ran upstairs quicker.
The two of them sat on the small terrace on the third floor again. Nan Xuan placed the snacks on the table one by one and pushed them in front of Yun Ran.
"You must be starving after spending the whole night in the tomb. Here, these are all your favorite dishes."
Yun Ran unceremoniously picked up a piece of kidney bean cake and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it. He snorted and said, "Then who told you not to come faster, Master?"
"If you had arrived sooner and defeated those black-clad assassins, Brother Xiaojing and I wouldn't have to hide in the mausoleum."
"It's the teacher's fault, it's the teacher's fault."
Nan Xuan admitted his mistake in a very good manner, which made Yun Ran a little confused.
She swallowed the snack in her mouth, stretched out her hand stained with snack crumbs and waved it in front of Nan Xuan: "Master, I was just saying it casually, you don't have to blame yourself."
She knew that Nan Xuan would not be late if he hadn't encountered a difficult situation, so what he said just now was just a joke.
Nan Xuan held up his chin and watched her eat the snacks, narrowing his eyes and smiling: "I'm not blaming myself, I just have something I want to tell you."
Seeing him narrow his peach blossom eyes, Yun Ran instinctively felt that something serious was going to happen, but still nodded and said, "What is it?"
"Now that Miao Yi and Ka Bei have left, Ling An and I have lived here for a long time. We eat and drink for free, but this is not going to work. So, in a few days, I plan to take Ling An back home."
"It's okay. It's just two more people to support. Shanhailou can still afford it." Yun Ran said, "But, Master, is there anything you want to do when you return?"
"I guess so. So, I plan to hand over my Baidouxuan in the capital to you."
Nan Xuan said it calmly, but Yun Ran was shocked.
"Master...are you kidding me?"
The scale of Baidouxuan is almost the same as her Shanhailou, and it has branches all over the Dakang Kingdom. In addition to selling snacks, more importantly, it is a very good and complete place to collect information.
The people who come to buy snacks are of all kinds, from all identities and all social classes, and the shopkeepers and clerks of each shop have all undergone rigorous internal training.
I wonder how much effort Nan Xuan put into building a Baidouxuan like this. How could she agree to take over?
"No kidding, it's useless in my hands anyway. If you don't take it over, I'll have to disband it."
Nan Xuan said as he pinched a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it while saying, "Anyway, I have taught you all the skills of making pastries. Even if these shops are closed down, you can still make equally delicious pastries. It's just a pity for the shop owners and employees in these shops."
"What's wrong?" Yun Ran didn't understand what he meant for a moment.
"They've been here for so long, they know so much. If you don't take over, I'll have no choice but to close the shop and kill them all."
"Don't!" Yun Ran quickly agreed, "Master, can't I take over? Don't kill people at every turn!"
Nan Xuan finished his snack and took a sip of tea with half-closed eyes: "I am a murderous demon. What I just said was no joke."
"I know. I'll take over."
"Then, I'll leave this to you." As he said this, he took out a jade pendant from his waist.
The jade pendant was jet black all over and was carved into the shape of a ghost face with green face and fangs, which was very scary.
Yun Ran stared at the jade pendant for a while but didn't take it.
Nan Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Hold it?"
Yun Ran still didn't move. She looked at Nan Xuan's handsome face and suddenly realized something.
"Master, are you going to leave here?" Otherwise, why would he sell Baidouxuan?
Nan Xuan directly stuffed the jade pendant into her hand, then reached out and tapped her forehead and said, "What are you thinking about? I'll take your brother Ling An back home to retire."
"You little ones have all grown up, each one more formidable than the last. From now on, Dakang will be your home turf, and it's time for old folks like me to retire."
"Retire...what does retirement mean?" Yun Ran didn't understand again.
"Retirement means retirement. Go back to Xuantian Pavilion and plant flowers, raise birds, and enjoy your remaining years." Nan Xuan smiled. "If you have any difficult problems, contact me again. I will come back to help you fight."
"Your master may not be good at other things, but I'm pretty good at fighting."
"You're good at cooking too." Yun Ran said seriously.
"Hahaha, you little foodie." Nan Xuan was amused.
After everything was explained, Nan Xuan took Ling An away. He still had to help Ye Jingzhen to search the Heshun Palace for evidence.
When sending the two away, Gu Wang cried "wuwuwu" and bit Nan Xuan's trouser leg to prevent him from leaving.
Nan Xuan, with the care of an old father, continued to talk to Yun Ran about the function of the ghost face jade pendant.
This ghost face jade pendant is almost a symbol of his identity. As long as Yun Ran takes the jade pendant and finds someone in the snack shop, those people will use their internal methods to quickly pass the message to him, which is more effective than a carrier pigeon.
Finally, Yun Ran managed to hug the lonely king and let Nan Xuan take Ling An away.
