Chapter 66 - Bad Submission
"Then, we don't need too much."
Mo Xiyan turned around, looked at the man again, and stretched out one of her hands, "That's all I have, it's enough."
"Fifty silver taels?" Murong Yu tried.
Mo Xiyan shook her head: "Wrong."
"Five hundred silver?" Murong Yu continued.
"Five thousand taels." Mo Xiyan immediately opened her mouth wide.
After she said this number, she continued, "I don't want this number to be a sky-high price. If you want to think like this, with your identity here, if it gets smaller, won't you be looked down on?"
Saying that, she laughed complacently, and continued, "That's too much. I'm also afraid that you will go bankrupt, so in the future, you will become a negative asset user. So I thought about it, five thousand liang isn't that much of a good deal. "If it suits your status, then I can at least get you some porridge to drink after giving me the money."
As she finished speaking, she looked into Murong Yu's eyes, and the three words' praise me 'were written all over them.
However, for a man who had already been poisoned by a poison like Mo Xiyan, no matter what she did, or said it, they were all cute in his eyes, and were all worth indulging and doting on.
Moreover, from his point of view, since this little girl would be his, then wouldn't all of his money be hers as well?
So no matter how much she wanted, it was only right.
Thus, the man nodded his head in agreement without any hesitation.
"Alright, I'll send someone to deliver it to your residence one day."
The man's straightforward reply stunned Mo Xiyan.
She looked at the man, unable to speak for a long time.
She really thought men would retort.
To think that he would agree to it!
Heavens, wouldn't that mean she had become a pengci?
Mo Xiyan's dumbstruck appearance once again pleased the man.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhang Ye walking towards them with a lame leg.
He knew that they really were going to separate now.
Murong Yu sighed in his heart, as he lightly caressed Mo Xiyan's face, and said softly, "I'm leaving."
As he spoke, he untied the jade pendant from around his waist and stuffed it into her hands, "This is the betrothal gift. Wait for me here."
With that, he turned around without any hesitation and quickly disappeared into the forest.
When the man left, Zhang Ye walked to his side before he reacted.
"Mistress, are you alright?"
Zhang Ye looked in the direction the man left and continued, "He didn't do anything to you, right?"
However, Mo Xiyan ignored her. She was completely immersed in the pleasant surprise that the man had given her.
As for surprise?
She snorted coldly in her heart as she lowered her head to look at the plump jade pendant in her hand.
If she remembered correctly, the last thing the man said was' bridal gift '?
She naturally understood the meaning of this word, but wasn't this usually something that the matchmaker would send over after the marriage ceremony?
Why is this guy so unreasonable?
Moreover, not a single thing that she wanted to do had been accomplished. She didn't want to be locked in the backyard so quickly.
However, was there still time to return the goods?
"Mistress, what's wrong with you?" Did that bastard do something to you? "
Zhang Ye thought that Mo Xiyan had suffered something, which was why she was so quiet.
When he thought about what the man might have done to Mo Xiyan, his heart started to thump hard. He really wanted to pull up his sleeves and go and risk his life on a fight with the man.
"I'm fine."
Mo Xiyan let out a light sigh, and kept the jade pendant in her spatial space before turning around to look at Zhang Ye, "Your leg is injured, why are you still looking for me?"
"Mistress is different from that man after all. I'm just afraid that something might happen to you."
Zhang Ye was purely worried about Mo Xiyan, with her identity as a master and servant.
Mo Xiyan was also clear on this point.
Therefore, she didn't have anyone else's thoughts. She only felt that in this era, the difference between people and classes was truly too great.
However, she did not want to change it in the past. After all, living in the country was as normal as living in the world. Only when she adapted to it would she be able to truly live in this world.
Mo Xiyan snorted, "Do you think something will happen to me?"
Zhang Ye nodded honestly.
Mo Xiyan originally wanted to hear him say, Master is the strongest, of course nothing will happen to you.
In the end, the other party actually nodded his head in an honest manner.
This made her angry for a moment.
In the end, she fiercely patted Zhang Ye's shoulders, "Let's go, if not, we'll stay here for the winter!"
Her tone suddenly turned nasty, making Zhang Ye feel extremely innocent.
Why was he only concerned about his master? Was he wrong?
Looks like Zhang Ye did his best to protect these people.
But what was strange was that Zhang Ye was not a martial artist, how could he protect the villagers?
Or could it be that Murong Yu came at such a coincidental time?
No, it shouldn't be.
If Murong Yu arrived at the right time, Zhang Ye and the villagers would not have gotten injured.
Carrying doubts, Mo Xiyan looked at Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye panicked under her gaze and involuntarily lowered his head to look at his.
Realizing that nothing was amiss, he raised his head and looked at Mo Xiyan once more.
"Mistress, is there something wrong with me?"
Mo Xiyan shook her head, "Nothing."
Since he was deliberately hiding it, there must be a reason.
Of course, the reason she let Zhang Ye go was because she was sure that he was loyal to her, and that was why she let him go.
If it was any other person, the matter would have long since been covered up.
"Can you walk back?"
Mo Xiyan looked at everyone and asked softly.
"Yes." The villagers all expressed that they were strong. With such small injuries, how could it possibly affect them?
Seeing them act this way, Mo Xiyan once again looked at Zhang Ye, "What about you?"
"I'm fine too." Zhang Ye immediately stated his attitude, he slapped his chest and said, "I won't have a problem even if we return to the capital, let alone the village. Don't worry, Master."
Since everyone had already said so, Mo Xiyan naturally would not delay any further.
After all, these few were all injured. If they were to walk at night, it was hard to avoid encountering second Big stupid bear or other carnivores.
At that time, even though she could deal with them, it would still be troublesome.
Mo Xiyan was supported by two or three people from the village down the mountain. There were only a few villagers, so Zhang Ye decided to follow along with the lone one.
Only, she did not expect that after walking a few steps, Zhang Ye would suddenly shout in alarm.
"Oh no, we forgot about the positive sun."
"True Yang?" Mo Xiyan frowned, "Where is he?"
Zheng Yang was referring to his son, Mo Zhengyang.
Mo Xiyan naturally knew, but she did not know, that he had actually come with them?
"Right at the corner, before he said he wanted to lure the Big stupid bear away, and let us go first."
Zhang Ye had a face full of regret, loathing the fact that he had actually forgotten about sacrificing himself for justice.
"You mean in this direction?" Mo Xiyan pointed to the fork in the road.
"Yeah, that's right. That is the road he walked on. I wonder if something will happen to him now?"
Zhang Ye wanted to shake off the villager who was supporting him, but he was stopped by Mo Xiyan.
"Manager Zhang, if you want to move, at least let me know."
After the villager stabilized his body, he started complaining to Zhang Ye.
"Huan, sorry, I just …"
Zhang Ye immediately apologized to the villagers. As anxious as he was, he couldn't even complete a sentence.
Mo Xiyan took the chance and said, "You guys go back first, I'll go look for Mo Zhengyang."
"But Master, you are …"
"You want to say that I'm a woman, so I'm not worthy to save others?" Mo Xiyan folded his arms across his chest and looked at Zhang Ye with disdain, "Or do you think that among all of you, there's someone more suitable to be here than me?"
Zhang Ye was unable to refute.
It was because these men were all injured. They were in so much pain, so how could they walk on the mountain path to find others?
But Mo Xiyan was a woman after all, and it wasn't appropriate for her to ask her to find a man.
He thought about it, and still wanted to speak up and stop her, but he was once again interrupted by Mo Xiyan with a domineering attitude.
"That's enough. We don't need to delay any longer. You guys can go back first and explain the situation to Li Zheng. Tell him to bring some people here to find us."
Her solution was indeed the best at the moment.
Zhang Ye was unable to refute his, and with Mo Xiyan's insistence, he finally nodded his head in agreement.
"Mistress, you must not go to a dangerous place. If you have something to do, find Li Zheng and the others and put more emphasis on safety. After all, you are …"
"Alright, why are you being so girly? Let's go!"
Mo Xiyan lightly pushed Zhang Ye away and looked at the other villagers at the same time, "Quickly go. When it gets dark, it will be harder to travel at night.
The villagers were naturally aware of the dangers of being trapped in the mountain forest, and immediately disregarded Zhang Ye's hesitation and directly dragged him towards the Mo Village.
After their figures disappeared past the fork in the road, Mo Xiyan then walked in the other direction.
It was a small, narrow path, with seven or eight twists and turns. It was not easy to walk on.
Fortunately, Lil 'White jumped out from the bushes and lightly rubbed against her leg before she could take more than a few steps.
Such a cute white wolf was actually a pack of wolves.
If it was in the past, Mo Xiyan would never believe it even if she was beaten to death.
Now, however, she had no choice but to believe.
"Where did you go?"
"Aooo." Little White let out a growl as if to explain.
However, Mo Xiyan remained cold and ignored it, as if she was waiting for it to finish.
Little White continued to call out anxiously, and in order to let Mo Xiyan calm down, it even started to rub its head against Mo Xiyan's face.
Of course, Mo Xiyan was only pretending to be angry, she wasn't really angry.
Thus, when he saw the little qilin acting in such a manner, he immediately let out a soft laugh, "Alright, I'm not really angry."
After saying that, she put Lil 'White down and pointed to the front. "Smell it. Follow the scent of blood. Find it."
Lil 'White nodded like a human. It rubbed its nose and started to look around.
The reason she said that, was naturally based on the facts of Zhang Ye and the others.
After all, after encountering a bear, all of them had died, so there was no reason that Mo Zhengyang, who was in charge of luring the Big stupid bear away, wasn't injured.
Since he was injured, no matter how faint the smell was, the air would still reek of blood.
Lil 'White should be able to find it no matter how faint its nose was. That was why she asked him to do this.
Little White also worked hard and quickly found the smell of blood that Mo Xiyan talked about.
It turned and looked at Mo Xiyan, then followed the smell of blood and ran.
On the other hand, Mo Xiyan quickly followed behind it. She secretly hoped that nothing bad would happen to Mo Zhengyang, or else she wouldn't be able to explain everything to it …
