Liu Xiangu nodded modestly.

"Our master needs the fairy's help with something. This is to invite you to have tea." Ah Man took out a silver note from his sleeve and placed it in front of Fairy Liu.

Fairy Liu quickly scanned the banknote and was secretly satisfied with the denomination of fifty taels.

Of course, inviting you to tea is a euphemism. With a deposit of fifty taels, the reward after the success will certainly be generous.

Liu Xiangu was indeed quite famous, but she did not often get the chance to work for wealthy families. She mostly performed rituals to exorcise evil spirits for ordinary people to earn some fame.

"I wonder what happened to your mistress?" Knowing that the visitor was not a simple person, Liu Xiangu spoke in a much more friendly tone.

Ah Man looked at Liu Xiangu in surprise and blurted out, "Did Xiangu see through it?"

She had practiced martial arts since she was young and was taller than the average girl. When she wore men's clothes, even people couldn't tell she was a girl. Yet, this fairy lady could tell she was one at a time.

Ah Man thought to himself: It seems that this person has real ability, no wonder the girl asked her to hire someone.

For Liu Xiangu to have this job, she must have the ability to read people's expressions. As soon as she saw Ah Man's expression, she knew what she was thinking and couldn't help but reveal an unfathomable smile.

Of course she saw the piercing in the little girl's earlobe.

"The master didn't tell me anything. She is waiting for you to come over to discuss it in detail at the Tianxiang Tea House."

Liu Xiangu pondered for a moment and agreed.

In front of the common people, she was a fairy with great magical powers and high and mighty, but she dared not to tease those wealthy families.

The wealthier a family is, the more talented people they can come into contact with, and she is just one of them who is mediocre.

Seeing that Fairy Liu was getting up, Ah Man waved his hand to stop her: "Fairy, if you are not in a hurry, go now. Master Shenchu ​​is waiting for you in the teahouse."

"Okay, I'll go over when the time comes." Xiangu Liu felt more and more that the other party was an important customer.

She knew too well the ways of those wealthy families. When they encountered unusual things, on the one hand they would ask people like her to perform the ritual, but on the other hand they wanted to save face and not want others to know about it.

In comparison, the ordinary people's respect for her is genuine, but unfortunately she has one biggest shortcoming: no money!

"Then I'll take my leave."

Ah Man walked out of Magu Hutong. The incompatibility with the surrounding environment made her quicken her pace. When she turned into an alley, a hand suddenly stretched out.

"How dare you plot against your grandpa, little bastard!"

Ah Man turned around nimbly and dodged the sneak attacker. When he saw the man clearly, his eyes widened: "It's you!"

The attacker was none other than Ah Fei, the young man who had been stabbed by Ah Man with a golden hairpin not long ago.

Ah Fei had obviously gotten rid of the influence of the previous strange atmosphere, and he stared at Ah Man like a hungry wolf, ferocious and cruel.

At this moment, the golden hairpin was held in his hand, and the tip of the hairpin was dark red.

That was Ah Fei's dried blood.

"Little brat, you were so capable just now. You used this thing to stab me. Now I will use this thing to scratch your pretty face. Let's see what happens—"

The last syllable of Ah Fei's voice turned into a scream.

Ah Man retracted the fist that was heading towards Ah Fei's abdomen, and then the two fists crossed and hit Ah Fei's lower abdomen like raindrops.

Ah Fei squatted down in pain.

Ah Man raised his foot and kicked Ah Fei down. He kicked him hard for more than ten times before stopping. He shook his hands, looked down at Ah Fei curled up on the ground, and sneered, "You talk too much nonsense!"

"You, you...just wait for me!"

"I won't wait!" Ah Man raised his foot and kicked hard a few more times.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me..." Ah Fei rolled back and forth on the ground after being kicked. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and begged for mercy.

"Why didn't you do this earlier?" Ah Man gave Ah Fei a look of disdain, walked around him and walked forward as if nothing had happened.

Ah Fei climbed up with great difficulty, holding on to the wall. His lips trembled slightly as he stared at Ah Man's receding back.

On the one hand, he was frightened by the strange situation, but more importantly, he didn't want others to find out that he had obtained a golden hairpin.

It's made of gold, and people like them have never even touched it!

Ah Fei's escape was motivated by his own personal interests, but he could not swallow this humiliation, so he launched this sneak attack.

Unfortunately, the sneak attack failed, and the gangster who had been hanging around on the streets since childhood suddenly felt a deep fear.

He was really in trouble this time. The guy might not have said that to scare him.

To the people in Magu Hutong, Ah Man's arrival was just like a stone thrown into a lake, which did not cause any ripples. Only a young man named Ah Fei was waiting for the arrival of midnight with trepidation.

The sun began to move westward, and the golden sunlight shone through the tall and lush treetops in front of the Tianxiang Teahouse, shining on the sky-blue colorful flags, adding a bit of leisure to the teahouse.

"Miss, aren't you afraid that the fairy lady will take our deposit but not show up?" Ah Man, who had returned to her maid's attire, asked while looking out the window.

Jiang Si smiled: "She will come."

"But she doesn't know who you are."

"That's why she came."

No matter how famous Liu Xiangu is, she is essentially just a fortune teller, and people like her are always after money.

The more mysterious she is, the more profitable it will be for the other party.

The fifty-liang silver note was bait, and there was no reason for a fish with a big appetite not to take the bait.

"It's almost the beginning of the third month. I'll go out and take a look." Ah Man couldn't be as calm and composed as her own girl. In the eyes of the little maid, the fifty taels of silver was a lot of money. If it was really wasted, she would definitely go and get it back.

Jiang Si did not resist and nodded slightly.

Ah Man walked quickly towards the door, and as soon as he opened it, he saw Liu Xiangu standing outside with a little girl.

"We meet again." Fairy Liu looked at Ah Man with a smile on her face.

Ah Man tried his best to put on an expression that he had expected this: "The master asked me to open the door for the fairy."

The girl is really good at predicting things, she can't let her reputation fall to pieces.

After hearing what Ah Man said, there was indeed a subtle change in Liu Xiangu's eyes. She motioned the girl to stay outside the door and followed Ah Man in.

"Girl, the fairy lady is here."

The girl sat at the table by the window and nodded to Liu Xiangu.

Fairy Liu felt somewhat dissatisfied.

The other party didn't even stand up when he saw her coming, which showed that he didn't take her seriously.

The more this happened, the more curious she became about the girl's identity, and she dared not turn around and leave.

She is just a sorceress who knows some unorthodox tricks. If she offends a noble, it will be difficult for her to gain a foothold in the capital.

"Please sit down." Jiang Si said.

Fairy Liu sat down opposite Jiang Si and secretly looked at him while drinking tea.

The girl's age and appearance surprised Liu Xiangu, and she was increasingly unable to guess her identity and purpose.

"I wonder if there is anything the young lady needs my help with?" All these chaotic thoughts did not show any clues on Liu Xiangu's face.

She was determined that since the other party came to her, he must have something to ask of her, and she must not show any weakness no matter what.

This is her money for eating.

"Have you received the commission from the second wife of the Duke of Dongping?" Jiang Si asked straight to the point.

"I don't know what the girl said!" Liu Xiangu's face changed slightly, and she stood up and left.
