Hua Cai clasped her hands together, muttered to herself for a long time, and then walked away towards Green Willow Manor with a gloomy expression.
This was perhaps the best day since the flower was brought into the world; the sun was high in the sky, making people's skin feel hot.
Hua Cai, who was already feeling dizzy from forcibly using Soul Capture, found herself breathless after only a few steps on the street.
After dodging several people who hurried past, Hua Cai took the opportunity to stand in the shade of a tree and enjoy the coolness for a moment.
"There are so many people on the street." Hua Cai casually picked up a green fruit from a roadside stall, fanned herself with her other hand by her ear, and watched as another group of five or six people entered the inn: "Is there some kind of event going on in this city?"
Hua Cai secretly glanced at Ying Gao's face, and there it was—the same face that never changed.
Alas—flowers bloom in sorrow.
Of course she knew what the "activity" was tomorrow. It was just those few fools from the Ming Cult, so reckless and timid, trying to surround and kill the princess of the dynasty with so few people. If it weren't for the Right Envoy secretly helping out, those few minor leaders would have had to go to Green Willow Manor for tea for free.
The scene was... wow, countless people died or were injured.
The only person I truly know in this world, I wonder if they'll be in the guard team tomorrow. What if they die?
"You'll protect me, won't you?" Hua Cai glanced at him furtively.
Expressionless.
"...Fine, surveillance, surveillance!" Frustrated.
"Mmm." His voice was simple and clear. If he weren't looking at her, she would have thought it was all an illusion.
Great, no matter what, having a strong player at level 65 suddenly gives me a lot of confidence.
"Let's head back home." Hua Cai's mood suddenly turned extremely good.
The female lead and the mission target will arrive tomorrow, so how far away can Bright Summit be?
"Hey, wait a minute, you haven't paid for this fruit yet." Hua Cai turned and walked away, and the fruit vendor, who had been watching anxiously, got impatient and chased after her.
A corner of a hill in the suburbs.
The waiter at the teahouse was a fairly honest man. Following Hua Cai's instructions, he prepared a very nice set of funeral items and even hired a few people to play music and festivities to bury Xiao Shuang's father. Afterward, he weighed the remaining silver in his hand, muttered that he had taken it with a clear conscience, and then returned to the city.
Until the funeral procession had completely disappeared from sight, a person completely shrouded in a gray-blue cloak emerged from around the corner, leading a horse. He kowtowed three times before the raised grave, mounted his horse, and rode south. As his robes fluttered, glimpses of the clean, simple hem appeared and disappeared.
"Host, are you alright?"
In a guest room at Green Willow Manor, the system was startled when it saw Hua Cai swaying and falling directly onto the bed.
The fact that his host didn't seem to care about his body at all gave him the feeling that he might revert to being a wild system at any moment.
"It's okay, let me get some sleep and recharge. Don't bother me unless it's something life-threatening." Hua Cai weakly pulled the blanket over herself, shrouding herself in darkness, and fell asleep within minutes.
It seemed that Hua Cai was lucky, or perhaps the main character had arrived, because no one would bother with her anymore. With her special status, no one asked her to do any miscellaneous things at the manor, and these past few days had allowed Hua Cai to recharge her energy.
However, there were still people who remembered her. That morning, while she was sleeping soundly, someone knocked on her door.
Hua Cai remained completely calm, slowly poking her head out from under the covers: "What is it?"
"Lord Lu instructed the young lady to prepare a jar of the recently brewed fine wine, which will be used for the banquet today." It was a servant from the manor.
Wine, wine, wine, more wine.
Hua Cai sat up angrily, scratching her hair: "I know, right away."
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
I quickly washed up and went out; it was already quite late.
The arrival of the true master of Green Willow Manor filled the entire manor with a festive atmosphere.
The manor was bustling with activity, and the servants were in high spirits, bustling about busily. In comparison, she and the two idle people who should have been standing around watching seemed unusually out of place.
"Hey, we don't need to go help, right?" Even Hua Cai felt uncomfortable being stared at by passersby, and unconsciously moved closer to where they should be.
He should lower his head, looking at Hua Cai's unusually timid appearance, and after a long while, he managed to stammer out, "I have a mission to complete."
A mission? What mission?
Hua Cai saw the person standing there motionless and suddenly realized.
Time passed by, but no one paid any attention to him.
Hua Cai glanced at the door, wondering if she should go back for a nap, when someone came running up, panting. It was the person who had woken Hua Cai up: "Where's the wine? Where's the wine? Why hasn't it been brought over yet?"
Oh right, I was woken up to deliver drinks.
Hua Cai quickly turned around and went back into the house. She picked out one of the three jars of wine and handed it to the visitor.
Watching the thin servant carry a wine jar and run away in a flash, Hua Cai was worried that the wine jar might fly away. She pursed her lips, saw that he seemed to be as unmoved as ever, hesitated for a moment, and then turned around and went back into the house.
My wine can only fool people with its smell; once you taste it, it's obvious.
The only person he wanted to bribe with alcohol was Hebi Weng; as long as he enjoyed drinking, that was enough.
With him around, how could anyone kill her just because the wine doesn't smell good?
"Baozi, keep an eye on the banquet area and report any developments immediately." Hua Cai returned to her room, sat on the edge of the bed, and lost all interest in catching up on sleep. She promptly dispatched the system to gather information.
The system doesn't need to go to the banquet in person to know about the situation, but it clearly prefers watching the live broadcast.
Watching the ball of light fly away happily, Hua Cai reached out and took a small package from beside her pillow, untied it, and spread it on the bed.
Inside the package was a stack of neatly arranged small bamboo tubes.
Pick one out, open the bamboo stopper, and a strange smell wafts out from the small bamboo tube.
"Three days should be enough." Hua Cai took out all the needles that had been soaking in the bamboo tube, dried them, and put them away.
"How's it going over there?" Hua Cai carefully hid the soaked needles and mentally called out to the system.
"Boss, Zhao Min is gathering her men to head to Bright Peak. She has a lot of capable people under her. I underestimated the difficulty of this world's mission. I should have chosen a different mission." The system's voice was dejected.
This so-called transitional character wasn't randomly selected by the system; it's likely to be relatively simple. What about the difficult ones?
Hua Cai frowned deeply. The Qingqiu Immortal Techniques couldn't be used in the small world, so she had to find a way to get some techniques that could be used in ordinary planes. Otherwise, the future world would definitely be worse than it is now.
