Death God: Unrivaled in sharpness, the greatest captain of all time!

"Nothing much." Chiyo Kuchiki chuckled and touched her nose. "I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm going for a walk around the neighborhood."

Lin Aoxue glanced at her watch: "It's 7:40 now. I'll cook you a bowl of wontons for breakfast..."

Upon hearing this, Chiya Kuchiki nearly choked on the porridge in her mouth and coughed violently twice.

"What's wrong? Are you sick?" Lin Aoxue asked worriedly.

"It's alright, it's alright." Chiya Kuchiki waved her hand. "Hurry up and cook the wontons, it won't interfere with your work."

After saying that, Chiya Kuchiki ran towards the courtyard gate.

Unfortunately, he had only taken a few steps when a piercing pain shot through his ankle, causing him to cry out involuntarily.

It turns out that last night, Chiyo Kuchiki sprained her ankle and stayed in bed all night. As a result, she fell again when she got up early this morning.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Chiyo Kuchiki had sprained her ankle.

In fact, this alone demonstrates just how strong Chiya Kuchiki's mental fortitude was yesterday; such pain didn't even make him utter a single groan. 2.1

Watching the man flee in disarray, Lin Aoxue's lips curled up slightly, her eyes sparkling, her pretty face full of warmth.

"Ugh."

She let out a long sigh.

Thinking about attending the wedding banquet with Qin Yueran tonight, Lin Aoxue felt a mix of emotions.

Although Lin Aoxue had always maintained a distant and aloof demeanor, she simply couldn't bring herself to be cruel to that girl her own age.

Chapter 272 A Different Feeling

After all, Qin Yueran had helped Kuchiki Chiya a lot.

Moreover, that night, Chiyo Kuchiki's drunkenness gave Lin Aoxue some different feelings.

She didn't reject physical intimacy with someone like Chiyo Kuchiki—at least, she didn't resist it at all—and that was the best proof of that.

"You like him." At that moment, a mocking voice rang out.

It was Danielle Sharp.

"Nonsense," Lin Aoxue said calmly, "I would never like Kuchiki Chiya."

“Whether I’m lying or not, you know very well.” Danielle Sharp narrowed her beautiful eyes. “We’re friends, and I don’t want you to lie to me, not even the slightest bit.”

At this point, she seemed to recall something terrible, and her eyes darkened slightly: "Besides, I don't want to see you deceive my brother."

"Don't lump me in with your brother!" Lin Aoxue said coldly. "I don't like that term."

“Then just pretend I was talking nonsense.” Danielle Sharp shrugged. “Anyway, don’t forget, you Chinese have a saying: ‘When you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; when you marry a dog, you follow the dog.’”

These words seemed to make no problem, but Lin Aoxue sensed something different in them, and her gaze instantly turned cold!

“I don’t need to follow any rules!” Lin Aoxue said.

“Is that so?” Danielle Sharp stared at Lin Aoxue: “Then I can’t guarantee that you won’t have conflicts over the distribution of profits.”

This statement is incredibly damaging.

Lin Aoxue's pretty face immediately flushed red. Then she gritted her teeth, looked down at her neckline, and said, "If you want to look, then look carefully."

At this point, Miss Lin finally decided to use violence to resolve the crisis.

This can be considered a form of emotional release.

“Okay, I’m not watching anymore.” Danielle Sharp shook her head: “What you’ve done is far from the effect I want.”

"What exactly do you want?" Lin Aoxue asked.

Just then, Chiyo Kuchiki finished her phone call and walked in. Upon hearing this, he frowned and said, "Daniel, why are you always targeting Aoxue?"

“Brother, I’m not targeting anyone.” Danielle Sharp pursed her lips and said, “I’m just reminding Sister Aoxue not to forget your mission, that’s the most important thing.”

"Of course, I know more about these things than you do, and I have no interest in getting involved." Lin Aoxue looked at Kuchiki Chiya, her gaze softening slightly. "So, don't worry about it, okay?"

“Aoxue is right, you are just too kind.”

Chiya Kuchiki patted Lin Aoxue's arm: "Our family is so rich, we're not short of money, really."

“Alright, in that case…” Danielle Sharp glanced at her watch: “It’s eight o’clock now, and we have fifteen minutes until our meeting time.”

After she finished speaking, she walked out of the yard and closed the door behind her.

Then the group headed to Yangzhou City.

Prefect Zhang is waiting for them here.

This Mr. Zhang wasn't very old, around forty years old. He had a short beard, a square face, and looked very energetic. He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, exuding the air of a cultured man.

Because of the unique scenery of the Jiangnan water towns, Zhang Daren, having stayed here for a long time, actually developed a scholarly air about him.

If you disregard his official rank and background, Chiyo Kuchiki would even think that this Lord Zhang was just like a friendly uncle next door.

"My surname is Zhang, and my given name is Ping. I am a native of Yangzhou. My parents both passed away when I was in junior high school, and we relied entirely on the inheritance of our ancestors. Therefore, I haven't received much formal education, unlike those highly educated young talents who are all well-read." Magistrate Zhang Ping said, "It is my honor to meet such outstanding young people as President Lin and Mr. Xiumu today. I toast you both."

Chapter 273 has been agreed upon.

"No need for formalities." Chiyo Kuchiki raised her glass. "Let's drink first and then talk."

So, this guy quickly raised his glass and clinked it with Kuchiki Chiya's.

Chiya Kuchiki took a sip and said, "Lord Zhang, you should be able to guess why we're looking for you, right?"

“Of course I know,” Zhang Ping said with a smile. “Our deal has been finalized.”

“Hmm.” Chiyo Kuchiki nodded. “Your price is fair, but there’s something I need to tell you.”

"Mr. Kuchiki, please speak."

“We are not planning to buy that house,” Chiyo Kuchiki said bluntly.

This answer was exactly what Chiya Kuchiki had expected.

“Well…” Zhang Ping raised his eyebrows slightly: “Actually, Mr. Kuchiki, this house is very important to me. I am willing to sell it to you at a high price. If you think it is too expensive, we can discuss it.”

Zhang Ping was indeed quite sincere, and he didn't use his power to bully anyone.

However, Chiyo Kuchiki said without hesitation, "Sorry, we can't buy this house."

"Why? Aren't the conditions I offered attractive enough?" Zhang Ping clearly hadn't expected Kuchiki Chiyo to reject his proposal.

“Lord Zhang, to be honest, I don’t have the habit of buying houses. Besides, our family’s finances are tight, and we simply can’t come up with that much money.” Chiya Kuchiki spread her hands: “So, we can only regretfully give up.”

After a pause, Chiyo Kuchiki continued, "This is the only way I can make amends."

Upon hearing this, Danielle Sharp's eyes flickered.

By doing this, Chiyo Kuchiki was undoubtedly sending her a message.

Danielle Sharp knew that her boss was definitely trying to test Zhang Ping through this incident, and the result was quite satisfactory to her.

Zhang Ping pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I understand."

Although he was a little disappointed, he didn't press the matter. After all, in his opinion, the value of the house had far exceeded his expectations. As long as the other party could accept the deal, that would be good enough.

Chiya Kuchiki glanced at the Europa Blade on her wrist and said, "However, I have a request regarding this matter, and I wonder if Lord Zhang would be willing to grant it."

Although Chiyo Kuchiki said that, there was no pleading look on his face. On the contrary, he even showed a smile, which seemed to hide a hint of mockery and mischief, making people's hearts race.

“Mr. Kuchiki, please speak,” Zhang Ping said.

"Lord Zhang, could you resell this house of yours to me?" Kuchiki Chiya said with a smile, "The price is negotiable."

"Uh..." Zhang Ping hadn't expected that Kuchiki Chiyo actually wanted to buy this house. This was really beyond his expectations, and the county magistrate was a little confused for a moment.

Given his status, even the Prefect of Yangzhou wouldn't dare to provoke him, let alone an outsider like Kuchiki Chiya.

"Mr. Kuchiki, this...excuse my boldness, but why did you choose to buy this house?" Zhang Ping asked Lin Aoxue, who was standing to the side. After all, of the three people present, he knew the least about the Women's Garden.

Lin Aoxue glanced at Kuchiki Chiya indifferently, her beautiful eyes calm and composed, and said in a clear, cold voice, "Because this house is very beautiful."

very beautiful!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ping gave a wry smile. He suddenly realized that Lin Aoxue's simple three words were actually extremely intimidating, making him feel an irresistible sense of oppression!

“Okay, I’ll sell it to you, but I have one condition.” Zhang Ping took a deep breath and then said, “I hope you can renovate this house.”

“No problem.” Chiyo Kuchiki readily agreed.

"Thank you."

"You're too kind, Lord Zhang. I think if we can cooperate happily, we might be able to cooperate in other areas in the future."

At this point, a slight smile appeared on Chiyo's lips as she changed the subject, saying, "I wonder if Lord Zhang has any time recently?"

Chapter 274 Drink it all in one gulp

“That’s exactly what I was thinking.” Zhang Ping’s eyes gleamed with eagerness. Then, he raised his glass: “Cheers to our future cooperation.”

Chiyo Kuchiki also raised her cup, clinked it with his, and drank it all in one gulp.

Danielle Sharp sat on the other side of the sofa, watching Chiya Kuchiki and Zhang Ping interact, a playful smile playing on her lips.

She had already learned from Chiyo Kuchiki that he had a powerful backer and connections in Yangzhou. The reason Chiyo Kuchiki chose to contact Zhang Ping this time was probably to expand her network of connections through this man.

Danielle Sharp knew that if she wanted the Temple of the Sun to become even larger, she had to establish a foothold here.

And Yangzhou is undoubtedly a very suitable place for Kuchiki Chiya to develop - this is the world of martial arts, and the conflicts in the martial arts world that are described in martial arts novels are also real here.
