I just want to be a middleman

Chapter 51 Divine Tree

After Qian Duoduo and Si Lingwei were together, only Rose turned into a bracelet and followed Qian Duoduo. Leopard Xiaolong Liuguang and Shu Xiaoqiang all entered the spirit beast bag, and Qian Duoduo stayed by Si Lingwei's side.

Along the way, Qian Duoduo saw that the disciples of Guiyuan Sect cooperated well with each other and were very friendly. Si Lingwei was the leader. Every time she went to collect medicinal herbs or fight with spirit beasts, she would make reasonable strategies.

Qian Duoduo always insists on sparring with Si Lingwei whenever he has nothing to do, and they always stop when the time is right. Si Lingwei is also happy to fight with Qian Duoduo, as long as the time is right.

"Duoduo, before we came in, my father told me there is a sacred tree here. Should we go and see it?" Qian Duoduo looked at Si Lingwei's longing for the sacred tree and decided to accompany her to see it.

"Fulai, what's going on with this sacred tree? Why haven't I seen any information about it in Qin An's inheritance? Unknown things are full of uncertainty. Is it dangerous?"

Fulai searched the system for relevant information and only saw a large question mark [?] on the secret map, indicating an undeveloped area.

"There is no information about the sacred tree in the system, only a big question mark."

Qian Duoduo: Do you have a lot of questions, kid?

"And the risk factor is five stars." Fu Lai added what he hadn't finished saying.

"How many are the highest?"

"Five"

Qian Duoduo:? ? Hehe

"Lingwei, you can look at the sacred tree, but I'm afraid it might be dangerous because our cultivation is too low." Qian Duoduo gave Si Lingwei a heads-up that this sacred tree can only be viewed from a distance and not played with.

"Okay, let's just take a look. If there's any danger, we'll evacuate immediately." Si Lingwei agreed readily.

The area around the sacred tree for half a mile was barren with no grass growing. There was only a big tree surrounded by white light. At first glance, there was only one big tree. The sacred tree was full of fruits in two colors: white and red.

Si Lingwei and her group walked to the outskirts of the sacred tree and found that many cultivators had also come. Si Lingwei knew that it was because there was a father who was the sect leader. There were also some independent cultivators and cultivators from small sects around. How did they know?

Qian Duoduo couldn't help but think of a conspiracy theory. There must be something wrong, and it was a big problem. There was no more news coming out of the jade slip. Someone must have deliberately lured these people here, or there was something here that attracted the cultivators.

But these monks seemed quite normal, just walking around the periphery of the sacred tree, and there was no unusual sound from the sacred tree.

Qian Duoduo accompanied Si Lingwei and stopped outside the left side of the sacred tree to observe the sacred tree. None of the disciples of Guiyuan Sect followed in. No cultivator present dared to be the first to enter the area of the sacred tree to explore.

A faint strange fragrance floated in the air. Many monks did not notice it and were still doing their own things. At this time, some monks began to walk towards the sacred tree, and their faces showed happiness. By the time Qian Duoduo realized something was wrong, the monks around him had already walked halfway forward.

Looking at the normal Si Lingwei beside him, this is the advantage of liking to set up a barrier. She is not affected by the strange fragrance around her.

Qian Duoduo carefully signaled Si Lingwei to look at the differences around them. The two of them squatted carefully and observed the monks walking towards the sacred tree. They saw that they stopped when they reached a certain distance from the sacred tree.

It was too far away to see anything, so Qian Duoduo and Si Lingwei could only wrap themselves in spiritual energy and move forward, and then see what was going on from a distance.

Qian Duoduo was confused as soon as he squatted down. Looking at the scene in front of him, he didn't know whose memory it was, or maybe he was mesmerized and saw some of what he was thinking.

What you think in your mind can be called fantasy.

"Miss, the young master took that vixen to the ancestral hall to write a letter of divorce." Qian Duoduo said angrily to the maid.

Qian Duoduo could only watch from the sidelines. He had originally wanted to walk over to the beautiful woman, but once he did, he found himself trapped in the same spot. Her gorgeous attire, her hair decorated with matching hairpins and hairpins, and her fair skin made her look regal. If she smiled now, the whole room would light up.

"Lan'er, come here." Qian Duoduo felt that he was walking towards the beautiful woman. Thinking carefully, he might be watching this story from the perspective of Lan'er.

"Mother, do you really have to be like this?" Qian Duoduo sat down at the foot of the beautiful woman, watching her silently wipe away her tears. The maidservant beside her also shed tears. Qian Duoduo could feel Lan'er's emotions, and tears streamed down her face.

Voices continued to drift in from outside the room. Qian Duoduo listened carefully but could not make out any of them. After a while, people filed in. The old woman leading the way had a plump figure and a harsh expression that did not match. "Ms. Wu Xu, the young master has already written the divorce letter. Now you should pack up your dowry and leave the Wu Mansion."

The beautiful woman wiped away her tears, and then quickly ordered the maid beside her to go to the warehouse to count her dowry and carry it all to the three-story courtyard under her name.

Qian Duoduo was led by the beautiful woman to the corridor, watching the servants carrying things in and out of the courtyard. "Chunhua, go buy twenty strong men who are capable of fighting and bring back all the subsidies I have given to the mansion over the years. Even if it is just a brick or a tile, remember to bring the book and count them."

"Yes, Miss." Chunhua looked at his lady who had cheered up again and his face was full of smiles.

Twenty able-bodied men were bought from outside the palace. Chunhua took the list and the able-bodied men and went to check and move out everything according to the list. The old lady's room had a lot of gold-pedestal jade Buddhas, some jewelry, expensive fabrics, and even decorations. After moving them out, the old lady's room became much vacant.

This scene played out in the courtyards of several other houses. The only difference was their attitude. "This was given to us by our sister-in-law. Why should we take it back?!"

"That's right, why should we take it back if it's given to us?"

"What was given to our old lady belongs to our old lady. Why do you want to take it back? Aren't you the trustworthy person who keeps his word?" said the dowry maid beside the old lady.

Only one person's attitude was different from the others. "Let her take them all away. We in the Wu family don't need her. We can still live well without her."

Yes, Mr. Wu is very principled!

When Miss Xu heard this, she ordered everyone to dig up the flowers and plants that she had transplanted in the garden with her own money, take away the servants she had hired, and dismiss the hired ones. Not even a needle or thread from the Xu family was seen in the Wu Mansion anymore.

After the divorce, Xu moved into a large house with three courtyards with Lan'er, and hired the best teachers for Lan'er, even the martial arts teacher was the best. Qian Duoduo saw Lan'er's growth from Lan'er's perspective, and also saw Xu's satisfaction.

Without Xu, the Wu Mansion became a mess. The families in the mansion became much more frugal in food, clothing and other expenses. Their clothes and jewelry became simple, and there were not many servants left. Most importantly, many servants were injured. Xu originally wanted to take away the things she had bought, but the owners of the families ordered them to be intercepted, and they were beaten badly by the strong men who knew martial arts.

Not only did they not pay for the injured servant's medical treatment, the Wu Mansion is now in complete disarray. Young Master Wu, who brought his concubine in, recently went out to drink and the mansion no longer gives him credit.

And the concubine who just came in, ah... no, it's the legal wife now, when she realized that the mansion was in disarray, she quickly took over the power in the mansion. It was only after she took it that she discovered that Young Master Wu was a man who relied on his ex-wife for a living, and he put his status so high.

After discovering that the treasury had no money, they simply cut the already pitifully small number of servants by half. There were only a few people in each room, and clothing expenses for each room were ten taels of silver per month, which was simply not enough. The old lady fell ill at this time, and they hired a doctor who said that she needed to be nourished with precious medicinal herbs, but the treasury would not pay for it.

Everyone wanted to invite Xu back. Even Mr. Wu, after suffering repeated cold stares and setbacks, felt that he could not live without Xu.

On the other hand, Xu felt much more at ease after the divorce. She no longer had to work hard in the Wu Mansion, nor did she have to pay for herself. She could sleep in and get up whenever she wanted and eat whatever she wanted.

Sometimes when I’m bored, I look through the shops under my name.

It feels much better to see the income coming in.
