Chapter 87 - He Was Not Here to choose Butlers or Servants

Chapter 87 He Was Not Here to choose Butlers or Servants

Feng Yingcai was so nervous that he didn’t even dare to swallow his saliva. On the other hand, Jiang Beiran fell into deep thought. As a poor child who had been targeted by the will of the world for a long time, he didn’t expect that he would encounter such stupid person.

After pondering for a while, he could only come up with one explanation, Gu Qinghuan was the one who had triggered the search for the house. He only followed the plan of Gu Qinghuan, so the will of the world was not too harsh on him this time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Beiran asked Feng Yingcai, “Do you think that we are too weak, and that we can take out a treasure like the Golden-arm Qilin Horn Saber, so you decided to scheme on us at the last minute?”

Facing Jiang Beiran’s question, Feng Yingcai widened his eyes and didn’t know how to answer.

“Just say it.”

“Ah!!!”

Under the high pressure, Feng Yingcai suddenly roared. He stepped back while taking out a pill from his pocket and was about to swallow it.

However, just as the pill was about to reach his mouth, his right hand suddenly stopped, and he slowly fell to the ground.

“Self-immolation before taking the pill… he’s really decisive. He is quite ruthless.”

Jiang Beiran intended to take away Feng Yingcai’s pill, but no one would expect that Feng Yingcai would actually burn his internal organs and when he knew he was going to die.

After all, Feng Yingcai knew he was going to die for sure after what he had done, so he might as well make it quick so that he wouldn’t be humiliated and tortured again.

Jiang Beiran picked up the white pill on the ground and threw it to Gu Ginghuan, saying, “This is the white jade scarlet pill. It can greatly increase the power of mystic energy in a short period of time. You can keep it for yourself or sell it.”

Gu Qinghuan caught the pill and glanced at Feng Yingcai who was lying on the ground. He cupped his hands toward Jiang Beiran and said, “Brother Jiang, do you need me to…”

“No need.” Jiang Beiran waved his hand. “Just clean up the body and tell the broker that we had a good deal. Give him the money.”

Jiang Beiran was sure that Feng Yingcai decided to kill them at the last minute. If he had the broker as a backup plan, the system would have notified him a long time ago. “Yes, sir.” Gu Qinghuan answered respectfully. He walked to Feng Yingcai’s body and started to check what valuable items he had on him.

He took out a new straw hat from the storage ring and put it on. Jiang Beiran squatted in front of the parterre that was full of spiritual essence and removed a few orchids from it. Then, he took out the Thunder Spirit Flower from the storage ring and planted it.

To Jiang Beiran’s surprise, the system didn’t give him any option when he covered the ground tightly.

“It means that if I planted the Thunder Spirit Flower in the Sect of Returning Hearts, it would cause trouble, but not here?” Jiang Beiran pondered.

Nodding his head silently, Jiang Beiran took out the black scale powder and sprinkled it into the soil as usual.

After a while, Gu Qinghuan walked to Jiang Beiran’s side and handed him a storage ring, saying, “Brother Jiang, all the things on this man are here. Please take a look.”

Glancing at the storage ring, Jiang Beiran said disinterestedly, “Save them for something else in the future. Also, go and get some butlers and servants.”

“Yes, I’ll do it right away.”

“Go ahead. I’ll wait here.”

After Gu Qinghuan left, Jiang Beiran continued to plan how to make use of this place with rich spiritual essence.

Walking back to the market of Jinyao Town, Gu Qinghuan soon found the broker who was listening to a storyteller in front of a teahouse. He then brought the broker to a quiet alley.

“Take it. Thank you for your help this time. My big brother is very satisfied.”

Taking the cloth bag from Gu Qinghuan with both hands, Xiong Ba, who felt the weight of the bag, opened it, and was immediately blinded by the white silver inside. “Thank you, Master Gu! Thank you! I knew I was right to believe in you.”

Putting the cloth bag into his bosom, Xiong Ba bowed to Gu Qinghuan repeatedly. “Also, do me a favor. I want to find some reliable butlers and servants. Do you have any connections?”

“Of course! Master Gu, you’ve asked the right person! Give me two hours, and I promise to find a bunch of people for you.”

“Alright, then go do it quickly. I’ll wait for you at the teahouse you were in just now.”

“Alright, just wait and see.” After saying that, Xiong Ba ran away happily.

It had to be said that Xiong Ba was indeed very efficient. It had not been two hours, but he had already returned to the teahouse. “Master Gu, I’ve found all the butlers and servants that you wanted. Shall we go over and take a look now?”

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Gu Qinghuan nodded and followed Xiong Ba to a shabby warehouse.

Before opening the door of the warehouse, Xiong Ba whispered to Gu Qinghuan, “Master Gu, there are some laborers who can work hard, experienced butlers, and well-organized ones… Hehe, you can choose whoever you want.”

After saying that, Xiong Ba pushed open the door of the warehouse and shouted, “Mind yourself! Your future master is here. Hurry up and pay your respects!”

“Greetings, Young Master.”

More than twenty people in the warehouse shouted in unison.

After roughly scanning everyone, Gu Qinghuan walked to a cute young girl. This caused some of the maids who were waiting to be selected to sigh in their hearts.

“Sigh, I knew this little fairy would definitely be chosen. She really knows how to put on an

act.”

“She’s just a good-looking girl. She could just go and become a concubine of those officials? Why does she have to come here and fight for our jobs?”

“Ha! Typical man.”

Seeing Gu Qinghuan stop, the young girl immediately bowed and said, “I…”

But before she could finish, Gu Qinghuan said, “Stand over there.”

The girl was about to introduce herself, so she was stunned when she heard this. She followed the direction Gu Qinghuan pointed out and said, “Young master, you mean…?” “Stand in that corner.”

The girl was stunned for a while. She suddenly understood that Gu Qinghuan had chosen her, so she said “yes” happily and walked to the corner that Gu Qinghuan was pointing at.

Gu Qinghuan then picked a few good-looking girls and asked them to stand together with the girl from before.

This made the girls more certain that they had been chosen, and they all bowed to Gu Qinghuan happily.

At the same time, the servants and maids who hadn’t been chosen couldn’t help but think, “He’s not here to hire servants or butlers, he’s just here to seek for pleasure.” After picking the last girl, Gu Qinghuan said to Xiong Ba, “I’ll go back and call my big brother. You stay here and watch.”

Although Xiong Ba found it strange that the young master had to ask about such a small matter, he didn’t say it out loud. He bowed and said, “Alright, I’ll watch them. Don’t worry.”

Nodding at Xiong Ba, Gu Qinghuan turned around and left the warehouse, returning to the mansion.

At this moment, Jiang Beiran was perfecting the three talents spirit formation in the mansion when he heard Gu Qinghuan call out to him in the main hall, “Big Brother.”

He put away the talisman in his hand and walked into the living room, asking, “It’s all done so quickly?”

“Yes, we’ve found the people we need.”

“Okay. Lead the way.”
