Chapter 155: Ghost Flames

" Move on! Move on!"

" Bring all the goods here!"

The villagers discussed with each other with enthusiasm. They were worried that the Cai Family would purchase their goods at the lowest possible price.

However, They heard that the Cai Family would give them an amount of money that would be considered slightly lower than the market price.

" It was truly foolish of me to doubt Magistrate Cai's Family."

" Indeed, the Cai Family never turned back on their words."

" Long live Cai Family!"

Some of the older men estimated and realized Cai Family gave out over four hundred thousand taels of gold and distributed it among the villagers.

They were concerned as they knew Cai Family's financial situation wasn't much better. However, they were more happy to receive their money.

But there are many who raised their doubts. After all, Cai Family only purchased a a fourth of the total products from them. If they were unable to sell the remaining 3⁄4 products, it would be a terrible loss.

" What if they don't buy anymore?"

" Why would they do that? They already assured us."

" I doubt though." Someone explained. " We know it's a complete losing deal for the Cai Family. Why would they suffer loss for us peasants?"

" What if this is all they going to buy?"

" Don't jump to conclusion."

" Yeah, the Cai Family is a noble military family. They are not like those greedy merchant bastards."

Li Rou looked at the scene as she couldn't help but sigh. " Haah, It's really putting us in a tight place."

" Jia Hao helped us a lot." Cai Yixue nodded as she stood beside her. " He alone gave two hundred thousand taels of gold."

" Interesting, Where did he hide so much gold?"

" Who knows?" Cai Yixue mused." However, I have to admit. His expression was pretty ugly when he was giving the money."

" All men are like this." Li Rou laughed lightly. " However, It's truly a blessing that he is willing to share your burden. He really cares about you."

" He does..." Cai Yixue's voice became a whisper. Li Rou shook her head, knowing that Cai Yixue feeling conflicted emotions.

" But Yixue, is this really ok? I mean, What exactly the plan is?"

" It's bizarre." Cai Yixue shook her head. " He only told me to enjoy the view in the night."

However, at that moment, something unexpected happened.

Thanks to the workflow and environment, the warehouse inside was very warm.

Suddenly, a silk cocoon wriggled as wisps of smoke started to come out of it.

Slowly, green flames appeared around it, burning down the cocoon. The green flames looked very eerie, like ghost flames of fairy tales.

The ghost flames slowy spread as other cocoons also got caught by the green flames.

With a loud explosion, the entire warehouse suddenly caught fire as the green flames swept across the silk cocoon."

" Wh-What's happening?"

" Heavens! Smoke! Smoke is coming from the warehouse!"

" Hurry up and bring the water! It's fire! IT'S FIRE!"

" Fuck! What sort of flame is that? Why is it greens!"

" Ghost flames! These are ghost flames!"

Cai Yixue looked at the night sky as she sat in her balcony. However, she suddenly looked around and saw Minmin rushing towards her.

" Youn-Young Miss! Can you see there?"

Minmin panted as she pointed at a distant direction. Cai Yixue felt like there is particular bright point there.

" Yeah, What's with that?"

" That's...Niu Family's warehouse." Minmin spoke with an excited voice. " It's burning."

Cai Yixue's mouth became wide as she looked at Minmin and again looked back at that direction.

" Where is he?"

" He..." Minmin pouted.

" I heard he went to the Phoenix Cloud Pavilion again."

Meanwhile, In Phoenix Cloud Pavilion.

Jia Hao's expression was ugly as he saw sitting before a familiar young man.

" We met again, Brother Jia."

It was none other than Li Qing, the Crown Prince of Great Yan.

' Fuck my life.'
