Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 104 Execution of the Traitor

"Sir, won't you come in and have a seat?"

A girl dressed in flamboyant attire stood upstairs, waving a handkerchief and speaking in a coquettish voice. Her smile was radiant, and her eyes seemed to have hooks, instantly making Qian Xiuyi's heart itch. The two of them exchanged knowing smiles, and Qian Xiuyi turned and entered the brothel.

This is the closest county town to Yue Ri City. If a traveler walks fast, it takes a little over two hours to get here. Qian Xiuyi has received the money and urgently needs to find a place to rest. Naturally, he will stop here when he passes by.

Brothels, places of depravity, have never been lacking in any era. It was only before nightfall that the women inside began soliciting customers outside, which did attract the attention of passersby. However, no one paid any attention to it, glancing up at them before hurrying away.

No one stopped Qian Xiuyi, and he walked upstairs without any hindrance. Then, led by a maid who suddenly appeared to guide him, he entered a room.

A woman was sitting on the dressing table in the room; she was the same woman who had just called out to Qian Xiuyi.

"Sister Hui, what brings you here?"

Qian Xiuyi looked at the woman with a predatory glint in her eyes and hurriedly asked.

"If I didn't come, would I just wait to see you fall on the streets in destitution?" The woman turned around and smiled, the gold hairpin in her hair swaying with her movements, creating a dazzling arc. Her red lips parted slightly, revealing a glimpse of her pearly teeth and red tongue, making one's mouth dry. She was definitely a femme fatale.

Just as Sister Hui had predicted, Qian Xiuyi's eyes immediately lit up, and she kept secretly swallowing her saliva while pretending to be serious: "Hehe, Sister Hui, you underestimate me too much. No matter what, I can't really end up on the streets. If my father weren't in a coma right now, would Qian Xiuya's scheme have succeeded? When my father wakes up, he'll be in for a world of hurt."

A hint of mockery flashed in Sister Hui's eyes. She neither agreed nor disagreed with Qian Xiuyi's words. Qian Xiuyi was the most naive person she had ever met. The only reason he was chosen was because of his wealthy father. But now his father was so angry with him that he was seriously ill. Even if he woke up, it was still uncertain whether the Qian family would belong to Qian Dafu or Qian Xiuya. Moreover, Qian Xiuyi had drained the Qian family's resources. He was basically no longer of any use. The organization had already decided to deal with him at will and send him somewhere else so that they would not see him again. This fool did not realize anything and just kept laughing to himself.

"Alright, your father hasn't woken up yet, so you won't be able to turn things around in a day. The organization sent me to pick you up and arrange everything for you. By the way, I have a new mission for you."

Sister Hui stood up, her slender hand intentionally or unintentionally brushing across Qian Xiuyi's chest, while she spoke seriously.

Qian Xiuyi's eyes were completely focused on that slender, jade-like hand. She couldn't hear anything else and could only subconsciously reply, "That, that, that's wonderful..."

“Since you yourself feel there’s no problem, then I’m relieved.” Sister Hui said, taking out a receipt from the dressing table drawer and handing it to Qian Xiuyi: “The organization’s finances are tight recently, so we can’t give you much support. This is some money I have in the bank. Take it and take care of yourself for now.”

Sister Hui stroked her hair, smiled gently, and said something that deeply moved Qian Xiuyi.

“Sister Hui, I, Qian Xiuyi, was once the second young master of the Qian family. Even if I have severed ties with my family now, I don’t need your help. Take this money back; I have some here.”

He excitedly showed Sister Hui his tattered little bundle. The bundle was wrapped tightly, and you couldn't tell what it was from the outside. You could only feel that it was very heavy. But when you opened it, the golden and silver light was dazzling.

"Where did you get this money?"

Sister Hui frowned slightly and asked with concern.

"Well, I secretly kept a little bit for emergencies, I didn't expect to actually need it."

Qian Xiuyi's words were vague, but Sister Hui immediately understood. Over the years, Qian Xiuyi had provided the empire with a considerable amount of money in bits and pieces, but he was still just a young man, and it was normal for him to have some selfish thoughts and hoard some money. She just didn't expect that this money would become his life-saving money.

"That's good. Then I won't embarrass myself by showing this off."

Sister Hui smiled slightly and withdrew her hand holding the receipt. "Oh, by the way, let me tell you about your next task. You absolutely can't stay in Yue Ri City anymore. We've all discussed it, and since you're an educated student, there's a new organization called the Qinghe Party that's recently emerged in the Eastern Province. It's led by a group of students, about your age. You're sure to be able to make connections with them. There are a few people in the Qinghe Party with similar backgrounds to you. They're now rich and powerful, and they're starting to grow in size. The Empire knows nothing about them right now, so, Xiu Yi, I'm counting on you!"

Sister Hui straightened her face, straightened her body, bowed slightly, and spoke with great trust in her tone.

Qian Xiuyi was very pleased with Sister Hui's attitude. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Sister Hui, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

The book that Yu Liu had transformed into was placed on Qian Xiuyi's chest, with only a small corner showing. He patted it loudly, causing the book to shift slightly and reveal more of it.

"Xiuyi, you are indeed diligent and eager to learn; even at a time like this, you don't forget to bring a book." Sister Hui seemed to have just noticed the book that had popped up, and reached out to pull it out. "Sister Hui only went to school for a year or two when she was young, so she doesn't have much education. She was just thinking of finding some books to study recently. Your journey to Xing'an is long, and it's inconvenient for you to carry this book with you. How about I give it to Sister Hui?"

Before Qian Xiuyi could agree, she pulled out the book. Qian Xiuyi nervously withdrew her hand, fearing that Sister Hui would be disappointed in her if she found out what kind of book it was. She looked at Sister Hui with some nervousness and trepidation.

Sister Hui, as if she hadn't noticed anything amiss, glanced at the book cover and, as if nothing was wrong, hugged the book to her chest: "It's settled then. You must be tired from walking all the way from Yue Ri City. Rest here tonight, and I'll arrange a horse for you during this time so you can travel faster. Remember, the Qinghe Party is starting to grow stronger. The sooner you join them, the better. First, joining early will give you some seniority. Second, once these students' thinking changes and they start aligning with the Legion, it won't be so easy to get in. Remember, the sooner the better!"

"Okay, okay." Qian Xiuyi's gaze was still fixed on the book that Sister Hui was holding in her arms. She watched Sister Hui walk away with unease, but then she thought that Sister Hui had not been to school for many years and might not recognize the words on the cover. With this thought, she felt relieved and immediately put her mind at ease.

After leaving the room where they had been talking, Sister Hui hurriedly returned to her own room, her brows furrowed tightly.

"Since you've been waiting for so long, why hide anymore?!"
