But aren't Xiao Fangdao and Ruan Xunxiang friends?Judging from Ruan Xunxiang's tone, their friendship should be true. Could it be that her friendship and sponsorship had ulterior motives from the very beginning?

"Xuanjian told you about her affair with the Unfeeling Sect." Xiao Fangdao showed no anger on his face, "She traveled thousands of miles from Hezhou, so naturally it couldn't have come from the whim of a rich family. I knew her from the very beginning. Plan——she wants the trade routes in the Chisong area, the convenience provided by the Jueqing Sect, her own shop and ticket number, and finally use this as a bargaining chip for the succession of the Ruan family business gang."

"……I see."

No wonder she needs a friend like Yu Zhongsu, but she won't marry him.

"Back then, she made good friends with many disciples in the sect. Although none of them were willing to leave for her, it did not prevent them from continuing to work for her."

"Isn't that... eyeliner?"

Xiao Fangdao raised his eyebrows: "We are friends, this can only be called exchanging needs, if I really don't give her any benefits, how can she be willing to spend money for the Unfeeling Sect?"

Since it was under the acquiescence of Xiao Fangdao, the spread of these news must also be restricted.

It seems that Senior Brother Song touched Xiao Fangdao's bottom line.

It was not a secret that she went down the mountain that day, and many fellow disciples knew about it, but they would not tell others that the tall and slender son was Xu Chuilu who had learned nothing.

I just don't know whether Song Yusheng revealed it on his own initiative or was induced to do so.

"What's the suzerain's plan? If shopkeeper Ruan really intends to get involved in the dispute of Wuque, it may be disadvantageous for the Jueqing sect."

Xiao Fangdao didn't take it seriously: "She doesn't know the danger, she must have heard some slander that made her greedy. When she sees the pros and cons clearly, she will understand that it is not worth it to fight against me."

Ruan Xunxiang was very attentive to her that day, presumably she also harbored some guilty intentions to inquire.

But Xiao Fangdao is not worried, and she doesn't need to worry about it.

"Does the suzerain have anything else to ask?"

"It's no big deal." She smiled lightly, "As long as he didn't do anything to you."

Xu Chuilu understood, during the interrogation, Song Yusheng probably made up some false accusations, that's why Xiao Fangdao came to question her.

However, Xiao Fangdao didn't doubt himself, nor did he question her relationship with Song Yusheng. Instead, he first cared about whether she was cheated and killed—whether she thought the other party too well, or the other party thought her too stupid up?

It's a pity that her moved heart only jumped twice, and Xiao Fangdao extinguished this fantasy with a pearl.

"Tomorrow you take this and go to Xiangfeng Pavilion to find her to exchange for a few carriages."

She threw the shiny white bead into her palm.

"Myself?"

She didn't really want to go alone in this kind of domineering transaction that seemed to be forced buying and selling.

Xiao Fangdao smiled, "Of course."

"..."

"This is Ruan Xunxiang's reward to Song Yusheng. She will understand what I mean when she sees her, and she will definitely let you speak."

Xu Chuilu could only nod his head.

At least she bought her own winter clothes this time, so she didn't have to wear a school uniform to show off in the market, so it shouldn't be so eye-catching.

Xiao Fangdao turned around and wanted to leave: "Farewell."

"what."

This is gone?Go back and continue the interrogation?Out of some strange way of hospitality, Xu Chuilu always felt that Xiao Fangdao made a special trip to not only "care" about her, but also solved the side effects of Shiquan Dabu Decoction for her. This appearance frightened her for no reason, and she failed to provide any effective information, which was a bit rude.

At least leave her for a cup of tea or something to eat before leaving?

But she also knew that this kind of small talk was like dust and chaff to Xiao Fangdao, and it was completely unnecessary.

So when the other party stopped for her, she swallowed the words of retention in her mouth, and only changed it into one sentence: "Uh, it's okay. The suzerain has worked hard recently, so...you need to take care of yourself."

Xiao Fangdao smiled when he heard the words, and let the veil ripple like waves in still water, wrapping the figure and disappearing among the white frost on the eaves.

The person who breaks the wind and cuts the rain can actually be the cloud facing the moon.

Xu Chuilu washed off the remaining redness on her face, went back to the house and wrapped the pearl in three or four layers and put it in the bag.For some reason, she always felt that there was blood on the bead, but Xiao Fangdao didn't have it.

It stands to reason that if she had just returned from the torture hall, she would inevitably be a little angry, unless... she changed her clothes on purpose.

This was the night Xu Chuilu fell asleep the fastest recently, but she had an uneasy dream.

In the dream, she accidentally changed her appearance permanently. She didn't see her own face, but judging from the reactions of others, the effect must be shocking.With this appearance, no one believed that she was Xu Chuilu, so she had no choice but to go to Xiao Fangdao to prove her identity, but before she could speak, the other party smeared two balls of rouge on her face, and then declared that "feminine" It’s like this after makeup.” Xiao Fangdao brutally gouged out the eyeballs of anyone who had doubts, and Xu Chuilu’s heart jumped half-dead along with the bloody eyeballs...

So the first thing she did when she woke up in the morning was to peel off the layers of silk cloth to see if the pearl had turned into an eyeball.

She was relieved to see it lying round and obedient in the folds.

Going to find Ruan Xunxiang was the first task Xiao Fangdao gave her to complete alone, so she had to be cautious. When Xuanjian went to practice, she left a note explaining that she left without saying goodbye, and then went down the mountain alone.

Today is a sunny day, and the market is not as lively as the day of light snow, but it does not look bleak under the shroud of warm sunshine in early winter.She walked on the alley leading to Xiangfeng Pavilion stepping on her own shadow, and the fluff on her neckline was blown to her neck by the wind from time to time, rubbing a warm itchy feeling.

Seeing the luxurious four-horse carriage in front of the Xiangfeng Pavilion, Xu Chuilu began to panic, Xiao Fangdao didn't say clearly how many times it would be to change the "how many rides" of the carriage, could it be that it started with three, and was it not capped?Is this testing her negotiating ability?But I don't know how much Xiao Fangdao's ideal number is. If I don't meet her expectations... I really hate this kind of Party A with vague needs.

What's more, carriages are of little use to Xiao Fangdao. They can deal with most situations by relying on light skills and horseback riding. The carriages are really redundant and useless.

Difficult to understand.

Forget it, you don’t have to understand.

She stepped up to the threshold, and saw Ruan Xunxiang leaning on the imperial concubine's couch, looking through the account books, and swallowing the red grapes handed to her by the maid with her lips parted.If it wasn't for the task, she really didn't want to disturb the comfortable life of the beautiful rich woman.

"Master Ruan—"

Ruan Xunxiang raised her head when she heard the sound, and the moment her eyes fell on Xu Chuilu, a smile appeared on her face: "Miss Xu looks really good in this dress, and you are here to take care of my business today?"

Ashamed, not only is it not, but it may even be a mess.

She took a step forward, took out the pearl, and said straight to the point: "I am here to return this item to shopkeeper Ruan at the order of the suzerain."

The corners of Ruan Xunxiang's lips froze, and the grapes in her mouth suddenly became less sweet.

That pearl-colored bright body is round, as big as a longan's eye, with a circle of colorful halos all over its body, it is a top-grade northern pearl worth thousands of gold.Of course, this kind of rarity is not enough to make Miss Ruan, who is well-clothed and well-fed, change her face. The important thing is that although there are countless Beizhu in her treasury, this one is the only one sent to the Heartless Sect.

Something happened to Song Yusheng.

"Let's put... Sect Master Xiao is really polite, how could I ask you to go to such a trivial matter."

Xu Chuilu considered his words carefully, and said slowly: "Master Ruan, this pearl is not easy to come by, so I return it to Zhao..."

"Yes, yes, I should repay this kindness. Tell me, what do you want?"

Ruan Xunxiang has already talked about this point, which shows that Xiao Fangdao is well-planned, and she is really afraid of creating a rift with the Unfeeling Sect.

Xu Chuilu knew it well, and she had the confidence to speak: "A few carriages."

Ruan Xunxiang was stunned: "The carriage?"

"good."

"Okay, you come with me."

She led Xu Chuilu to the courtyard behind the house, where more than a dozen elm-wood carriages were parked, and in the stables were a row of radiant horses.Xu Chuilu tried her best to conceal her admiration for the extravagance of the big family.

Ruan Xunxiang raised his hand and pointed: "If you like it, just let me know."

Seeing her so generous, Xu Chuilu lost a little interest.

She can't understand carriages and horses, but she also knows that the size and quality of the ones in the backyard are not as good as those parked in front of the door. Although those canopies are too flashy for the Jianghu people, don't choose them if they are good. A little less is not done by a wise man.

The groom was tidying up the wooden basins containing the fodder, and then fed them one by one from left to back. Xu Cuilu patiently watched each horse's eating and drinking, and soon had a goal.

She confidently walked to the place where the two black horses were the most spacious in the shed.

"Just these two horses."

Ruan Xunxiang's face paled, hesitantly said: "This... this is the ink unicorn, it was used as a war horse in ancient times, it is extremely difficult to tame..."

"Shopkeeper Ruan said that it was 'ancient times', and these two horses must have been tamed and able to pull carts."

"..."

"Could it be that shopkeeper Ruan is not willing?"

She suddenly panicked: "Could it? It's just two horses. I'll send a coachman to pull it out right away, pair it with the best body, and send it to the Jueqing Sect."

Xu Chuilu smiled shyly: "Thank you, there are four carriages at the door, I want four carriages."

"Four...four times? That's sixteen jade horses, you—"

"Shopkeeper Ruan, the so-called willingness means to give up first and then get it. If you choose to 'get' first, you will 'give up' more."

Ruan Xunxiang's eyelids twitched, she held the embroidered handkerchief tightly in her hands, but she still had a grinning smile on her face: "Okay, Miss Xu is right, this small gift is what I deserve..."

The four horse-drawn carriages needed special drivers, and these people were also owned by the Unfeeling Sect along with the carriage.

Yuhuacong is blue and white, with a shiny silver mane. Walking in the daytime can blind the eyes of passers-by. Xu Chuilu didn't want to be so ostentatious, and didn't want to sit in a carriage that could hold more than ten people by himself, so he chose the little man driven by Mo Qilin.

Its temperament is really wild, and after a while, it has far surpassed those elegant and calm Yuhuacong.

Xu Chuilu started to get motion sickness.

When she got used to the speed of the car and was about to lift the curtain to see where she had gone, she found that the outside was full of gongs and drums, and it was very lively. The car didn't go in the direction of Youhuang Mountain in the suburbs at all.

It’s over.

In a flash of thought, she had already arranged countless ways of death for herself in her mind.

Finally, Mo Qilin let out a clear hiss, and the car stopped.

"get off."

...?

Sound familiar?
