Slender willows sway in the breeze

Chapter 31 What is the poster trying to do?

Liu Sijun wanted to ask Steward Qi, "Didn't you say that the host only comes once every six months and stays for a few days each time? How come he has come twice this month alone?"
But Steward Qi urged her to go upstairs quickly, so she could only ask again tomorrow.

Upon entering, the host was lying on the chaise lounge as she had been the day before. Liu Sijun stepped across the threshold, and the door was immediately closed behind her.

It gave her the illusion that she had entered a wolf's den.

"What are you standing there for? Come and serve us."

"Are you getting ready now, OP?"

"Ah."

Gu Changzhou got up lazily, while Liu Sijun followed behind him, eyes downcast and mindful of her own thoughts.

After a whole day of work yesterday, she's already very familiar with the process.

Unlike yesterday, he didn't deliberately prank people. After washing up, he lay on his side on the bed and read a book.

Liu Sijun was covered in sweat and wanted to take a shower.

Given the circumstances, I had to perform a hand seal to cleanse myself, which made me feel much better, but I still felt like something was missing.

She lay alone on the chaise longue.

Unable to fall asleep for a while, she secretly glanced at the man on the bed.

Why does this person always like to use spiritual power to conceal their appearance?
It can't be that ugly it's truly unbearable to look at.

Liu Sijun found it pleasing to the eye, but only when the host stood in front of him did he realize what was happening.

He was tall and slender, and his crescent-colored inner robe was well-tailored, perfectly outlining his strong physique. His washed black hair was draped down his back as he looked down at people from above.

Liu Sijun blinked, and unconsciously pictured Gu Changzhou's face in her mind.

dying.

Why did I suddenly think of him?

"Can't you sleep, OP?"

The man chuckled, staring at the woman on the couch: "You really want to see my face?"

"No no no."

Liu Sijun waved his hand: "I don't want to."

Wuji Tower is extremely famous and is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Countless people are eyeing this lucrative opportunity. His refusal to show his true face is precisely to conceal his identity and ensure his safety.

Now we need to show her our faces.

His heart can be killed.

She doesn't want it.

The man returned to the bed and stopped reading. The only candle in the room went out, and the room went dark. Liu Sijun experienced falling asleep instantly for the second time.

When he woke up in the morning, there was still no sign of him. Liu Sijun sat on the chaise longue, staring at the bed not far away. He had slept like a log the night before last, and although he had been very alert yesterday, he still couldn't stay awake.

When did she sleep so well?
There was no incense in the room, so it's unlikely to be a drugging act; it's more likely a sleep-inducing formation.

Liu Sijun came downstairs, and Steward Qi happened to return from the doorway: "Has another customer come in?"

"Exactly."

Manager Qi replied with a smile, "It was a farmer who asked us to send someone to find the chicken."

"what?"

Looking for a chicken?

“The farmer lives at the foot of Xiuyun Ridge and raises many livestock. Ten days ago, he started losing chickens for no reason. By this morning, dozens of them had already gone missing.”

Liu Sijun: "Wuji Tower takes on jobs like this? Shouldn't they go to the government?"

Manager Qi laughed: "I told him to go to the government office, but he said only Wuji Tower can solve this problem."

For an ordinary farmer, losing dozens of chickens is indeed a major event. But why is it said that only Wuji Tower can resolve this issue?
"Did the farmer see something?"

“Miss Jun is as meticulous as ever. Indeed, the farmer lost so many chickens in a row, and he thought it was some scoundrel, so he wanted to catch the thief red-handed. He staked out the place for several nights, and last night there was finally some movement. But then a strong wind came up, so strong that he couldn’t even open his eyes. He didn’t see the chickens clearly before they were gone, along with the ewe that had just given birth.”

Stolen...

Liu Sijun said, "Isn't a chicken thief human?"

Manager Qi said in a deep voice, "According to the farmer's description, it is very likely a demon, and a demon with considerable cultivation."

No wonder they came to Wuji Tower for help. Demons rarely appear in Laiyang County, simply because it is the northernmost gateway of Dayu, surrounded by the Frozen Domain on three sides along with Ziyun County of Fenglei Kingdom and Cangdao County of Shengxuan Kingdom. It is the most common training ground for the three kingdoms.

Therefore, the monsters in the Frozen Domain are actually the fewest in other places.

If it is truly a demon, it should be taken seriously.

Chen Dafeng was dismissed from his post and investigated. Laiyang County has not had a new prefect. The farmer was worried about his livestock, so he had no choice but to come to Wuji Tower for help.

Wuji Tower has a rule: if a demon harms the people, they must be helped unconditionally.

Liu Sijun nodded, "So that's how it is."

"Although it's not a bounty mission, the organization will still pay the reward as usual. The reward amount will be determined according to the monster's level. Miss Jun, are you interested in taking it?"

Liu Sijun didn't agree immediately, but pointed to the rooftop: "Steward Qi, I need to confirm something with you first, whether the Lord of the Tower has really left this time! Otherwise, what am I supposed to do if I have to come back to serve him halfway through my mission?"

"This, I do not know."

"Okay, let me rephrase the question. Is he coming back tonight?"

Steward Qi looked embarrassed: "This, I really don't know."

Liu Sijun narrowed his eyes: "Steward Qi isn't lying to me?"

Steward Qi said, "I've known Miss Jun for a long time, why would I lie to you?"

"Too."

Liu Sijun left with a smile.

Without being told whether he would accept the task or not, Qi Qingfeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself: What a disaster.

What is the original poster trying to do?

The lies he's told in the last few days equal the lies he's told in the last few decades.

We can't let the secret slip.

Liu Sijun didn't go anywhere else, but went to the courtyard in the north of the city, where he focused on cultivation for a day, and returned to Wuji Tower after dinner.

Hey.

The original poster is not here.

Liu Sijun rolled around on the chaise lounge a few times and then fell asleep again.

Night falls at Mingyue Tower.

When Liu Shiyuan arrived at Mingyue Tower in full regalia, he learned that Marquis Molin had not only invited him, but also summoned all the prominent and powerful figures of Laiyang County, leaving only two empty seats.

One is the main seat, and the other is below the head of the Chu family, Chu Jinghong.

He was very dissatisfied with this arrangement.

The Chu family has indeed developed well in recent years, but no matter what, Chu Jinghong should not be sitting in front of him.

Before he could speak, there was a noise at the door.

Marquis Molin has arrived.

He wore a dark, round-necked brocade robe, with a lifelike golden phoenix embroidered on his left shoulder, exuding extraordinary nobility. His face was resolute, with a prominent nose and deep-set eyes, radiating an imposing and authoritative aura.

The renowned Marquis Mo Lin is actually so young and handsome.

Liu Shiyuan sat down unconsciously.

Well, although Laiyang Prefecture is said to respect the three surnames, it cannot be said to represent the entire Laiyang Prefecture.

Even if it's just for show, they should still be invited.

Liu Shiyuan's persuasion in this way actually convinced himself first.

"I am deeply grateful for your presence."

Gu Changzhou raised his cup, and these people dared not accept the toast from Mo Linhou. They quickly stood up and said, "Your Excellency is too kind. We are toasting Your Excellency."

The banquet truly began only after everyone had drunk their fill.

Liu Shiyuan wanted to toast Mo Linhou, but he couldn't find an opportunity. They were all very clever and quick, darting around faster than rabbits.

Marquis Molin accepted all comers, making it impossible to discern his true intentions.
