The next morning, Yun Zhiyi returned from the back forest.
Li Cuizhi had already had the vegetables and fruits to be delivered to the shop today loaded onto the truck.
The orchard is currently busy with planting and construction, and Liu Dashan has been temporarily transferred there to take charge of planting and breeding affairs.
In Zhuangli, Yun Zhiyi directly promoted Liu Dashan's wife, Li Cuizhi, to the position of deputy manager.
Let her temporarily take over the management of Liu Dashan's affairs.
She had always worked as Liu Dashan's assistant, and the couple could communicate promptly when they got home, making them the perfect match.
"The master is back. Oh, where did this little fox come from? Oh, what kind of bird is this? It's golden. Is it injured?"
When Li Cuizhi saw her return, she greeted her with a smile.
Yun Zhiyi now goes to the back forest to cultivate every morning. No one has ever wondered what she does there, but they've all gotten used to it.
Then her gaze was drawn to the two small animals in her hands.
Yun Zhiyi held a small white fox, about the size of a pug, in one arm.
The little fox's white fur was still covered with a lot of mud, sand, and grass clippings.
Right now, she's clinging to Yun Zhiyi's arm, her head resting pitifully on her upper arm.
A golden-feathered parrot lay in the palm of his other hand.
The parrot had one wing outstretched, and there were spots of blood on the tips of its feathers.
Its entire body is pure gold, making the bloodstains stand out even more.
The parrot, in particular, looked like it was half-dead.
Yun Zhiyi glanced at the two little drama queens.
"I just saw these two little guys fighting in the forest. I didn't see any other wild animals around, so I brought them back."
These two little guys are naturally the assistants I promised to bring out yesterday, Tianhu Xiaoqing and Jinwu Xiaojin, and they're out now to make an appearance.
Xiaoqing was a real nine-tailed fox cub that Yun Zhiyi kidnapped while she was doing a mission in the cultivation world, when the nine-tailed fox was disguised as a celestial fox.
This cub was born with a disability, making it a crippled fox among the celestial foxes, and was abandoned.
Although she later cured him and he even obtained the purest ancestral nine-tailed celestial fox bloodline.
But the little fox was unwilling to return to the fox clan and truly regarded the nine-tailed fox as its mother, unwilling to be separated from her.
Nine-Tailed Fox was a free spirit, so she simply asked Yun Zhiyi to contract the little guy as a pet and take him away with her.
Although the little guy has a strong bloodline, he is still just an underage brat who can't even take human form.
It's roughly equivalent to the Foundation Establishment level now, so there are no restrictions.
Little Gold was an egg that Qiuqiu found in a secret realm and hatched in the space.
It is currently in its infancy stage as well.
Yun Zhiyi originally wanted the little guy to become an ordinary sparrow or pigeon.
But the little guy thought those birds were too ugly, so he asked the nine-tailed fox to help him transform into a golden parrot.
Yun Zhiyi thought that although the golden parrot was quite eye-catching, it would be a mistake to take it for granted to keep it as a pet.
Birds with such appearances are less likely to arouse suspicion.
Moreover, the parrot can talk, which will make it easier for her to pass on messages to others in the future.
Anyway, the little guy can use stealth spells when he goes out.
After giving the two little ones a reasonable origin and identity, she took them back to the yard.
Once inside the courtyard and confirming that no one else was watching, Little Gold, which had been lying still, immediately sprang to life, flapped its wings, and happily flew around the courtyard.
'Wow, this is the master's residence in the outside world. It's very beautiful, but unfortunately, it lacks spiritual energy.'
'This is a world where martial arts are the main focus, so it's normal that the spiritual energy isn't abundant. You're so ignorant~'
The little fox rolled its eyes at it, moved its body up a bit, rested its head on Yun Zhiyi's shoulder and rubbed against her gently, letting out a soft, sweet moan.
He was secretly delighted and overjoyed.
Great! There's no big boss here monopolizing its owner, so it can finally snuggle up to its beautiful owner.
Little Gold hovered above the two of them.
'Get down here! If the boss finds out you keep asking him to hold you, he'll definitely beat you!'
The little white fox stiffened, then looked up and bared its teeth at the smelly bird above.
If only this annoying, smelly bird weren't there.
'Hmph, you tattletale.'
Even so, it still reluctantly jumped down from Yun Zhiyi's arms, stretched its body, and gently rubbed its head against her feet.
Yun Zhiyi was unaware of the subtle tension between the two children.
"You two rest inside today and don't go out, especially you, Xiao Jin, don't fly around."
Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only a few people in the village on the surface.
There are probably many people watching from the shadows.
After all, several members of the royal family lived in the manor, and each of them had a bodyguard by his side.
Yun Zhiyi didn't care that they were protecting her from the shadows, as long as they didn't get in her way.
'Yes, Master.'
The two little ones responded obediently.
"When will Master be back?" Xiao Qing asked softly.
Yun Zhiyi squatted down and rubbed its soft little head.
He conjured a green ball for each of them before saying, "Three hours from now."
Fu Yuanbo went out to catch someone for her; she needed to go to the vegetable shop today.
She had You Xinyue send out a new message yesterday, and it's likely that there will be more martial arts figures in Lufeng City soon.
And she's going to see the boat today.
The Mu family's ten ships have been handed over and are now part of the Xing Shu Sect's assets.
If she plans to go to sea, a boat is very important.
Therefore, it is necessary to check whether the ship is usable, whether it needs to be modified, or whether a new ship needs to be built.
It would be best to modify it based on the existing structure, which would save time.
If that doesn't work, we'll have to build it.
At that moment, a section of green vine emerged from the ground.
The person and two pets immediately turned their heads to look.
The vine gently swayed its tip, conveying the latest message to Yun Zhiyi.
"Master, six people tried to enter the estate last night, but they were all caught by those hiding in the shadows. They're all in Qingshan now."
Since they were being sent to Qingshan, those who secretly arrested people were Fu Tingchen's men.
Do you know who I am?
"Black Yama has interrogated them. Two of them were sent by the Grand Tutor to find Xiaoyuer's whereabouts; one was also looking for Xiaoyuer, from the Rongguo Duke's mansion; two were looking for Xiaoyu; and the third was sent by the Mu family gang."
Yun Zhiyi raised an eyebrow. What a coincidence that they all came together.
However, after a moment's thought, she roughly understood what was going on.
It must have been yesterday that she attracted attention while strolling around the city with Fu'an and the others.
Although they wore veils when they were out, the two children ran to the vegetable shop without wearing hats.
She had already learned from Princess Fu'an that the Emperor and Empress had supported her at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
Presumably, many informants will soon arrive in Lufeng City.
Knowing that the lychees came from her, Fu Ziyu's elder brother should also be able to guess that Fu Ziyu is in Lufeng City, and will definitely send someone over as well.
If I remember correctly, the Grand Tutor was Fu Zishu's maternal grandfather.
Fu Zishu had been warned and dared not act rashly, so it was reasonable for him to ask his maternal family for help.
As for the Rongguo Duke's Mansion...
It seems they're not on the same page.
The last one was from the Mu family gang.
He calculated the time; the agreed-upon month was almost up.
It seems that Mu Yangguang has successfully seized power within the gang, and some people are starting to get restless.
