The Princess Agents Want a Divorce

On the surface, the Demon Feather Palace is a martial arts force, but in reality, it is an affiliated force of Wuyang City!

It turns out that her biological father built this place to avenge her mother! He didn't want to involve Wuyang City in his revenge! Although Wuyang City was an independent power, it was a place of simple, honest people, a veritable paradise! It was the home her father and mother built with their own hands!

The reason why no one from the four kingdoms dared to offend them was firstly due to their unique geographical location! Secondly, it was because of the maze array personally set up by their mother! Without guidance, one would be lost within the array and unable to find their way out! Over time, naturally, fewer people dared to provoke them! The third reason was naturally that their father was skilled in medicine and their mother was skilled in medicine making and alchemy! For example, the Purple Profound Pill, which could enhance Xuan power, was made by their mother! Naturally, the four kingdoms would all give Wuyang City a favor because of this pill!

Uncle, how many people are left in the Demon Feather Palace?

Now, less than one-tenth remains! Back in its heyday, the sect had thousands of members! Ye Yunsheng proudly stroked his little mustache!

A true hero doesn't dwell on past glories! That means there are fewer than a hundred left!

Hehe! Including your little nephew, there are exactly one hundred people!

Gu Lingxi was speechless. This counts?!

That's why your father begged me to stay; otherwise, I would have gone back to Wuyang City to farm long ago! Hmph!

"Young Master, the Old Master left us behind to secretly protect you!" Qingchi also spoke up in defense of the Old Master!

The old master visits you, young master, at the Gu residence every year! He just doesn't want you to find out! He wants you to grow up peacefully and carefree in the Gu residence! He's also worried that some of your former enemies are lurking in the shadows and could harm you! So he's instructed us not to have any contact with you!

Now that you've grown up, the old master can finally rest easy! Although there aren't many of us left, we are all the most loyal! We will definitely protect you, young master!

Hmm! After much mental preparation, Gu Lingxi finally managed to convince herself to take this place in! It just so happened that she was short-staffed at the time, and considering the old man's kindness, she decided to accept it. Otherwise, she really wouldn't want to take in so many people and become a burden!

Uncle Chi, this is my personal bodyguard, Leng Feng and Leng Yu. I'll have them contact you if anything happens!

Yes, young master! Qingchi and his brothers will await your orders!

Before leaving, Ye Yunsheng stuffed a brocade box into Gu Lingxi's hand!

Xi'er, this is something your father told me to give you personally before he passed away! It contains things your mother left for you!

Gu Lingxi accepted the brocade box, bid farewell to Uncle Ye, and then returned to the Gu residence!

The day after tomorrow, Yipin Qianjin Pavilion will have its soft opening! Gu Lingxi took out the invitation and several handwritten letters!

The cold wind and rain carried the letter to the masters of the Grand Tutor's mansion!

Ying'er, tomorrow you should take these letters to Manager Qin and Mama Cai! Have them deliver them to their master!

Seeing that she also had a task, Hua Ying was very happy! Recently, her mistress had asked her to teach the maids and shop assistants about beauty and body care etiquette! She had become much more confident and was finally able to do something for her mistress!

Gu Lingxi plans to use all her connections to invite one hundred people, regardless of gender, to have a free trial before the official opening! With their help, the official opening won't be so stressful!

After finishing these chores, Gu Lingxi finally plunged into the space!

Ahri saw Gu Lingxi come in! Excitedly, she jumped into her arms, trying her best to be cute and affectionate! Master! Master! Ahri missed you so much!

Gu Lingxi felt ticklish from its rubbing, so she grabbed it by the scruff of its neck, lifted it into the air, and shook it! Hehe! I think you're thinking about the food your master makes, not your master!

How could that be! Both the food and the owner wanted it! Ahri's eyes darted around excitedly!

Gu Lingxi's heart melted at the sight! After a flurry of activity, she prepared a table full of delicious food! Honey-glazed chicken, roasted lamb chops, and ginseng meatball soup with spirit rice! All of these were Ali's favorite dishes!

Then he took out a few pieces of jade with good color that he had found in the Demon Feather Palace's storeroom and gave them to Ahri as snacks! After they had eaten and drunk their fill, he noticed that Ahri's fur color showed no signs of improvement! He couldn't help but feel melancholy!

How much jade would it take to make even the slightest change in Ahri's body! Sigh!

The old emperor's birthday celebration is in a few days! I wonder how easy it will be to sneak in all the good stuff from the palace! If only I could find the old emperor's jade collection pavilion! I hope I could sneak a few without getting caught! Hehe! I can't wait!

After sitting down to cultivate for a while, Gu Lingxi felt that she had reached a bottleneck! She felt like she was about to break through, but she just couldn't find the key! It was really frustrating! She went to the stone tablet of the spatial spirit spring again, placed her hand on it, and used her spiritual power to sense it! There was no change at all; it was still the same beginner-level spirit gathering technique she had just learned!

Ahri, aren't you the spirit of this space? Do you know what's going on here? Are there any cultivation techniques inside?

Ahri shook her head blankly! Ahri didn't know! It seemed that her spiritual power was insufficient! The spiritual energy in this world was very thin! Not enough for Ahri to upgrade her intelligence! The spiritual energy in those jade pendants was also pitifully small! Ahri couldn't get enough to eat! Ahri pouted in dissatisfaction!

What about these spiritual springs and these spiritual fruits? Aren't they of any help to you?

Ahri shook her head again! They were originally part of the space itself! They couldn't upgrade themselves!

Gu Lingxi nodded. It seemed she would have to think of another way.

The day before the trial operation, Gu Lingxi finalized the list of personnel to be present during the three days of the trial operation!

The female guests were mainly daughters of several prominent families whom Liu Mengqing had invited! Also, Liu Yulin's wife, Madam Shen, had invited some close wives of officials! Of course, the brothers Liu Yulin and Liu Yucheng were also very generous! After learning that Young Master Ling was opening a shop, they helped invite some of their close friends!

Long Mo used the name of the once-prosperous teahouse to invite many wealthy merchants and their wives!

Hua Xizhi is no slouch either! He has countless cronies! Many playboys give him some face because of his status as a prince! Of course, there are also those who look down on him and naturally won't come!

All of these people, even if scattered, numbered over a hundred! With limited daily capacity, Gu Lingxi had to divide them into several groups and extend the trial operation by one day! The originally planned two-day trial operation was changed to three days!

After taking over the Demon Feather Palace, she assigned all the people she could to work at the First-Class Thousand Gold Pavilion! Uncle Qingchi became her manager! She was lazy and had no interest in the business! Earning a lot of money was just for enjoying life and incidentally using it to collect more resources to upgrade Ahri! She didn't want to be stuck running the shop every day! Finding reliable people to help her manage things would make her a more capable and at ease manager in the future!
