The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Standing at the front was an old man dressed in black brocade. Beside him stood a middle-aged woman in a fur coat. Behind them stood a middle-aged man and several servants.

Besides these people, there was also a young woman carrying two swords on her back!

The young woman, dressed in a striking red outfit, looked incredibly dashing!

She was extremely tall, not inferior to Di Qinglin!

If Jia Daoshi were present, he would have recognized that this middle-aged beauty was the manager of Guanglong Sword Shop.

But the middle-aged beauty who was once full of the dignity of a superior now stood respectfully beside the old man in brocade.

He acted as if he were completely subservient to the old man.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Murong Jiu asked with curiosity.

"Excuse me, is this the home of Jia Daoshi?"

The elderly man standing at the front was very polite.

Murong Jiu's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously grabbed Di Qinglin's arm.

Di Qinglin frowned slightly, her voice cold: "Well, but my husband isn't here. What do you want with him?"

These people knew Jia Daoshi's name and were able to find his home so accurately, which clearly meant they had done thorough intelligence gathering.

Even if you deny it, it won't make a difference.

Judging from their distinguished bearing and polite demeanor, they didn't seem like they were there to cause trouble.

"Well, this old man has come to ask your husband for some advice." The old man smiled slightly, seemingly noticing Di Qinglin and Murong Jiu's wariness, and immediately explained, "Young ladies, don't worry, we're not here to cause trouble, we're just here to ask for some advice."

Hearing the commotion at the door, Tie Lan and Jia Hu also came over.

Tie Lan, fearing that the two young ladies would be taken advantage of, pulled Jia Hu to stand in front of Di Qinglin and Murong Jiu, saying, "My family is not here. You two tell me what happened first."

This group of people in front of me are clearly not simple.

If they don't cause trouble, that's fine, but if they do, then we're in trouble!

The old man's gaze fell on Jia Hu, and his eyes immediately lit up: "I never expected that such a talented genius with exceptional potential would exist in this remote and impoverished place! Tsk tsk... It's just a pity..."

"What are you saying! I don't understand!" Jia Hu said in a simple voice, "Say something I can understand!"

The old man laughed heartily.

The middle-aged woman next to him hurriedly said, "Don't worry, we really have no bad intentions. We came here because we did business with Mr. Jia before."

They came to him specifically for no other reason than to ask Jia Daoshi about the mysterious Jinshi School.

As for why it took so many days to find this place, it's because they only just found out about Jia Daoshi.

It was only because Jia Daoshi went to Qinfang Pavilion that they were able to seize the opportunity!

Because this Qinfang Pavilion is one of the properties under the Guanglong Sword Shop, and it is used specifically to collect information about the martial arts world.

"You two, did you do business with my husband?"

Di Qinglin's vigilance suddenly rose!

What deal?

Could it be that you came into contact with Sister Weishuang and Sister Ruyu before?

“Exactly.” The old man tried to make his smile seem harmless and nodded. “Some time ago, Mr. Jia sold a Yitian Sword in my sword shop. We came here for this sword and wanted to ask Mr. Jia some questions.”

"Selling swords? People from Guanglong Sword Shop?"

Di Qinglin realized he had misunderstood.

Since the other party is from Guanglong Sword Shop, there's no problem.

Guanglong Sword Shop has a good reputation in Yilan County.

The famous merchant guild of the Great Jing Dynasty has never been criticized for its business in swords.

"Exactly."

The old man smiled slightly.

Seeing that the other party had lowered their guard, the old man finally felt relieved.

People from the Jinshi School are not to be trifled with!

"Tiger, go and call your brother Daoshi back. Tell him there are guests at home."

Seeing that the other party meant no harm, Tie Lan asked Jia Hu to go and call for help.

Di Qinglin and Murong Jiu stepped back to let the other party in.

"Ladies, this is a small gift that I have prepared for you. Please accept it!"

As they entered the courtyard, the old man gestured to the woman in red beside him to present the gift she was carrying.

"I can't possibly accept this."

Di Qinglin hastily refused, feeling he hadn't earned the reward.

"Come inside and have some tea."

Fortunately, the roof and walls of the main house have been repaired and the interior has been cleaned up; otherwise, there would have been no place to entertain these distinguished guests!

"Please wait a moment, my husband should be back soon."
