Chapter 457: Bold and brave
"Of course, we'll take the Dark Moon Realm Lord's ship." The old man said with a smile.
"You're really going to bother him now."
"This is not a trouble, this is a convenience. I have asked them to make a lot of good things and send them over. The Lord of Dark Moon Realm will not suffer any loss. What's more, I have agreed with him in the morning that I can borrow the boat at any time. He even told me that I don't have to return it during this period of time. He won't be able to use it anyway." The old man explained with some pride.
An Yan nodded and asked, "When do you want the jewelry made by the craftsman to be ready?"
"It should be fine today," the old man replied.
"Okay, I'll take it out later." An Yan nodded, and she thought about entrusting an auction house to sell the items first. After all, it would take time for her to set up a new company.
Yan Qingqiu came over and said, "I'm a little worried about Li Rongsen going there alone. After all, there's a spiritual immortal there."
"She's crazy." An Yan reminded him.
"I don't believe her. You'd better be careful no matter what, otherwise you might get into trouble and your man will be taken away." Yan Qingqiu also reminded her.
An Yan said: "You just don't want to go out."
"I'm not used to it. Besides, Li Rongsen needs me to take care of him." Yan Qingqiu said as a matter of course.
"Okay, whatever you want. I'll do it myself." An Yan didn't force him. She turned back to her room to make medicine, put it in a white jade bottle, and handed it to Bai Yucheng, saying, "If you feel thirsty, take one."
Bai Yucheng was filled with gratitude and said, "I will definitely repay you well."
"Don't say such things." After saying that, An Yan went back to her room and started to sit down and write her own story.
There is a large desk by the window, and sunlight can shine in at any time. There is a moon grass on the windowsill, which sways in the wind, and occasionally drops some crystals on the desk, which disappear in an instant.
An Yan had already written the first half. Now she was recording every detail of how she and Li Rongsen became familiar with each other. She continued writing until dinner time.
The old man came over from outside and said, "City Lord, do you want to eat earlier? Didn't you say you were going out?"
"Yeah, I'll just have a quick bite and then I'll be out." An Yan said as she put away her notebook and put it in her bag. Then she walked to the long table outside and said, "Don't serve too many dishes. I'll eat alone."
"Why do you want to eat alone? There is someone here to eat with you." The old man said to her with a smile, as if reminding her of something.
"Li Rongsen and Yan Qingqiu are not coming back. Do you want to have dinner with me?" An Yan asked him.
The old man stroked his beard and said, "I've already had the food served in Mr. Bai's room. Could the City Lord move over there and eat with him?"
An Yan was a little surprised, but did not refuse immediately. She thought that having a meal together was nothing, and he was alone, so she said, "Okay."
"Please, please, please go first, City Lord. I'll ask them to bring the soup." The old man was as happy as a child and ran out quickly.
An Yan didn't understand why he was so happy, so she walked to Bai Yucheng's room and saw that he had just come out of the medicinal bath and had almost recovered, although he couldn't walk much yet.
"City Lord, I feel much better now." Bai Yucheng said to her.
"That's good news." An Yan said with a chuckle.
"My legs just haven't got any strength left, but my upper body is fine." Bai Yucheng originally wanted to stand up and take a few steps, but gave up.
"Just sit down. You'll be able to move freely tomorrow." An Yan signaled him not to be so stubborn.
Bai Yucheng nodded and said, "City Lord, please take a seat and have dinner with us. I heard they are not in the city."
An Yan did not refuse, sat down at the table and said, "I will leave after I finish my meal. The old man will take care of you."
"Then how many days will you come back?" Bai Yucheng asked.
"Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow." An Yan replied.
Bai Yucheng nodded slightly and said, "I have something to tell the City Lord."
"Just call me by my name. We are of the same generation." An Yan said.
"I want to hand over Taiping City to Xicheng. From now on, it will be a subsidiary city of Xicheng. Is that okay?" Bai Yucheng said while staring at An Yan. He hoped she would agree.
But Anyan never had such intention. She said, "Western City will not take advantage of such an opportunity. Taiping City is still yours. Go back and treat your citizens well. Don't let them down."
"I don't want to be a city lord." Bai Yucheng frowned and expressed his thoughts.
An Yan raised her eyes to look at Bai Yucheng, and then said: "You are already the city lord, so you should take on this responsibility."
"I will hand over the position of city lord. I want to stay." Bai Yucheng said firmly.
Now it was An Yan's turn to frown. She was surprised, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and asked him, "What are you doing? You don't want to be the city lord, but stay here as a nobody?"
"I want to be a city slave, and I have already promised the old man." Bai Yucheng finally couldn't help it and told An Yan about this in advance.
An Yan was angry. She stood up immediately and said to Bai Yucheng, "I'll be back soon. You eat first." Then she left the room like the wind and called the old man over.
The old man hurried to An Yan and asked, "City Lord, what big thing happened?"
"You are so brave." This was the first time An Yan was so angry.
This really frightened the old man. He immediately bowed deeply and then asked An Yan, "I don't know why the City Lord is so angry. What did I do wrong? Please tell me."
"Why did Bai Yucheng say that he didn't want to be the city lord and wanted to stay in West City as a city slave? If it wasn't you who instigated it, who else could it be?" An Yan asked him angrily.
"This..." The old man didn't know how to respond for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said, "A small part of it was my wish, but for the most part, he did it voluntarily. He said that he fell in love with the city lord at first sight, and this time, he was so kind to him that he was willing to stay as a slave."
"So you're not interested in Li Rongsen?"
"But he doesn't want to." The old man also felt helpless.
"Does the city lord absolutely have to have a city slave?"
"No, no, that's not right. You don't have to have just one. You can have many." The old man said with a smile.
"How dare you." An Yan sneered at him.
The old man immediately, but not daring to be too ostentatious, advised An Yan, "City Lord, according to the old rules, we should have had city slaves long ago. Since Li Rongsen doesn't want one, there are naturally others who are willing. This Bai Yucheng is really good. He's handsome, good-looking, gentle and affectionate. He's a wonderful man, and he treats the City Lord with all his heart. I really want to help him."
"Don't mention this matter again in the future."
"City Lord, whether you like it or not, we still need city slaves." The old man meant well.
"I know what I'm doing." An Yan signaled him not to worry too much.
The old man was no fool. He asked cautiously, "The City Lord is thinking about Li Rongsen, right?"
"Why don't you call him Mr. Li anymore?" An Yan asked him back.
The old man curled his lips and said, "It was him who refused to sign. I got mad at him."
"Just like Yan Qingqiu, always angry all day long." An Yan really couldn't do anything about them.
"The city lord is pampering him too much." The old man was a little dissatisfied.
An Yan said, "Don't forget. Think about how Li Rongsen treated Xicheng. You should know that he was always right towards you and Xicheng. As for how he treated me, it was understandable. What if one day it was me who forgot everything? What would I do then?"
The old man also knew that he had gone too far. He bowed to An Yan again and said, "I know I was wrong."
"You go back to the room and have dinner with Mr. Bai. I'll go back first because I still have to treat someone's illness." An Yan said and went into the inner room to pack up.
The old man didn't dare to say another word and had to retreat.
