"Stop smiling at me and pay me quickly."
"I really have no money. You couldn't even sell me for that many spirit stones."
"Girl, I don't have a very good temper. If you're thinking of getting something for free, you're mistaken."
"Boss Shen, I really didn't mean to deceive you. How about this, you're short of manpower here, so how about letting me stay and help you pay off your debts? I'm a good fighter."
Shen Zhao was deeply shocked by this shameless spirit of taking advantage of others.
Looking at the beautiful face in front of him with a pitiful expression, Shen Zhao could only say, "What a lovely girl, it's a pity she has a mouth."
Just as Shen Zhao was considering whether to teach this arrogant girl a lesson, a middle-aged man with a middle-part hairstyle suddenly entered from outside the door.
"Excuse me, is this Boss Shen's territory?"
Shen Zhao glanced at the doorway and asked irritably, "What is it?"
The next moment, the middle-aged man immediately took off his bag and walked straight into the house, saying, "Great! I finally found it. I didn't expect Qingyang City to be so big. It took me a long time to find this place."
After saying that, he grabbed the teapot on the table and took a big gulp of water.
"Who exactly are you?"
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Ding Bu'er. I once served as the advisor to fifteen counties in the Yintian Dynasty. He Yishou, the master of the Yangwei Daochang, is my brother-in-law. I heard that Boss Shen was going to accomplish something big, so I came to him to ask for a job."
Ding Bu'er was incredibly outgoing; he acted as if he were at home as soon as he arrived at Shen Zhao's territory, introducing himself while drinking tea.
Shen Zhao frowned: "Did He Yishou send you?"
"Yes, he said you can make a lot of money here, so he asked me to follow you."
"Why don't you go to his dojo and eat?"
"Follow him? Forget it, that guy was incredibly stingy when he was with my sister, he'd split every penny in half. You'd be a failure if you stayed with him."
"Then how do you know I'll definitely take you in?"
"When I saw Boss Shen's face, I knew he was going to do great things. People like you will definitely become successful in the future. By then, you will definitely be able to accumulate a lot of family property. There must be someone to take care of these properties, right?
"I've served as a secretary in fifteen counties, so I can help you manage things. You could even invest in a sect or something and sit back and count your money."
"Do you think you're funny too?"
Ding Bu'er really amused Shen Zhao. Looking at his shifty-eyed appearance, Shen Zhao kept recalling news about him from his previous lives.
However, there seemed to be no such person as Ding Buer in his memory. Perhaps his position was too low and he had not made any big moves, so he was not on Shen Zhao's watch list.
Ding Bu'er looked at Su Yunying standing next to Shen Zhao, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh, this girl is so beautiful. I have been in the officialdom for thirty years, and I have never seen a beauty more beautiful than this girl."
Su Yunying smiled faintly: "You really know how to talk. If you can talk, then talk more. I love to listen."
Ding Buer smiled and said, "Only a girl of your beauty can match a hero like Boss Shen. From a distance, you two are obviously a perfect match, a perfect match made in heaven.
"I'm not bragging, but if this girl and Boss Shen stood there at the sect assembly, all those so-called holy maidens and holy sons would have to step aside."
When Su Yunying heard this, her face flushed immediately, making her look very charming and attractive.
Shen Zhao coughed lightly and changed the subject, asking, "By the way, you said you came from the Great Yin?"
"Exactly."
"Then you also know something about what happened in the Dayin Dynasty during this period?"
"As a secretary, I am well-connected with various government offices, so I naturally know some things."
"How is the Great Yin Dynasty doing now?"
"The empress ascended the throne with swift and decisive action, sweeping away redundant officials from the previous dynasty. She seemed determined to govern the country and revive the Great Yin Dynasty."
Shen Zhao nodded upon hearing this.
Having spent nine lifetimes together, Shen Zhao believed he understood Yu Xiyan very well, and that the Dayin Dynasty would continue to prosper regardless of his presence.
But whether he can reach the same level as before is unknown.
"You said your master was doing a good job, why did he suddenly come to this shabby place to live a miserable life?"
When this was mentioned, Ding Bu'er suddenly became emotional: "Think about me, Ding Bu'er, who has been in the officialdom since I was eighteen years old, for a full thirty years now. I think I have outstanding literary talent, but I don't even have a name.
Just because I secretly accepted some bribes to improve my life, some bastard reported me and I lost my job. Can you believe how infuriating that is?!
Su Yunying interrupted him immediately upon hearing this: "You sound so nice, but it's still corruption and bribery. In any dynasty, corruption and bribery would be intolerable, right?"
"Oh, my dear grandma, that sounds nice, but I also need to make a living. With such a meager income each year, my whole family can't even afford a decent meal. What can I do?"
To be honest, I only took a tiny amount, not even as much as the county magistrate, who was so greedy that he could barely get anything out of his fingernails. But the bastard official got nothing wrong, while I was directly dismissed from my job.
Isn't that infuriating?
"Master Ding, no matter what, you shouldn't embezzle other people's money. You're a grown man with hands and feet, can't you make money with your own ability?"
"Hey, girl, please stop talking. I'm only at the third level of the Body Tempering Realm. If I were to wander the world alone and encounter a robber one day, I'd be dead. How can I make money with my skills?"
"You're only at the third level of the Body Tempering Realm? That's hilarious! Even if your aptitude is poor, you should have reached the Qi Condensation Realm by your age, right?"
"I was born with a useless spiritual root and have no talent. How can I compare to a prodigy like you, young lady? Besides, fighting and killing are too dangerous. It's not as good as making money and enjoying life."
