Qin Shi: I went astray in the Heavenly Sect

Chapter 50 The Two Women Visit Again, and a Message

"Miss Nongyu~~"

Chen Xiuyuan was somewhat surprised to see the person who came. He had just returned and did not expect this girl to arrive so soon.

"Young master, are you alright?"

Nongyu knew that Chen Xiuyuan had gone out during the day, and now that things were in a bit of chaos in Xinzheng, she was really worried that something might happen to this little guy she had some feelings for.

"It's okay."

Chen Xiuyuan smiled and gave a simple and straightforward answer.

"Sister Hongdou came to deliver breakfast to the young master this morning, but found that he was not there. She was startled and thought that he had left. In the end, she went to look for Sister Zinu."

Chen Xiuyuan's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this.

He then laughed and said, "Scared? Not really! I've deposited all my money with her, I think she's hoping I'll leave!"

Hearing this, Nongyu covered her mouth and smiled, realizing that Chen Xiuyuan was joking.

“Young master, Sister Hongdou is not that kind of person. She was the one who went to Sister Zinu to find someone before. If she hears you speaking like that, she will be very sad.”

Chen Xiuyuan's gaze swept over Nongyu, and seeing that the girl seemed very happy, he asked, "Miss Nongyu seems very happy. Did I miss something today?"

Nongyu's eyes curved into a smile.

"I heard that the Poison Scorpion Gang has been eradicated. It was a criminal gang in Xinzheng that did illegal things all the time, and many people lost their families because of it. Now that it has been eradicated, the people can breathe a sigh of relief."

Chen Xiuyuan was taken aback when he heard this, then he smiled.

In Xinzheng City, there are many more hidden organizations than just the Poison Scorpion Sect. Even the Purple Orchid Pavilion, strictly speaking, can be considered an assassin organization.

However, Zilanxuan has a higher bottom line. It targets only people like Ji Wuye and does not involve ordinary people.

Nightfall, Hundred Birds, Seven Absolutes Hall, and Poison Scorpion Sect have much lower bottom lines. They often resort to any means to achieve their goals, which makes them seem much worse.

"Yeah~"

That's really great news!

Nongyu nodded.

Chen Xiuyuan is not from South Korea and may not know much about Xinzheng, but she has lived in Xinzheng for many years. Even if she did not listen on purpose, she knew what kind of environment the people of Xinzheng lived in through her own experience.

The Poison Scorpion Clan not only engaged in human trafficking but also extorted money and preyed on the local people. Coupled with Ji Wuye's influence, they became the biggest scourge in the North City.

The dismantling of the Scorpion Gate today is a tremendous blessing for the people of Xinzheng.

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

Nongyu subconsciously looked over, feeling a little curious. At this hour, who else but herself would come looking for this "little" customer?

"come in!"

The door to the room was pushed open, and a purple figure stepped in.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Nongyu paused for a moment, then quickly stood up to greet them.

"Sister Zi Nu~~"

The person who came was Zi Nu. After comforting Zuo Sima Liu Yi, Zi Nu came here. When she saw Nong Yu greeting her, she smiled and nodded.

"Oh~~ Everyone's here?"

Chen Xiuyuan nodded.

"Miss Purple."

Zi Nu slowly walked to Chen Xiuyuan's side and looked out the window at the brightly lit street, which looked beautiful at that moment.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

Hearing Zi Nu's words, Chen Xiuyuan turned around and looked outside again. The night sky, the stars, the lights, the long street, the peace and tranquility, yet there was an indescribable mystery to it all. It was indeed very beautiful.

"It is indeed beautiful. Compared to Xinzheng during the day, the city is more beautiful at night."

Chen Xiuyuan remarked with feeling that Xinzheng during the day was a paradise for the powerful and wealthy, and a hell for the poor and destitute. But at night, Xinzheng had only one color: black.

"What did Xiu Yuan see in the city during the day?"

Zi Nu's eyes flickered slightly. She sensed the hidden meaning in Chen Xiuyuan's words. She had a feeling that this young man had seen something different during the day.

Nongyu sat to the side, and when she heard the name Xiuyuan, her eyebrows twitched imperceptibly. Xiuyuan seemed to be the name of the young customer in front of her, but she had been too embarrassed to ask before.

"Some people sleep in the sky, while others lie in the mud."

Zi Nu's gaze faltered. This seemed like an unusual answer, yet it was also a very truthful one.

"What are Xiu Yuan's thoughts?"

Zi Nu turned to the side, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the young man.

"What are your thoughts, Miss Zi Nu?" After a moment of silence, Chen Xiuyuan asked in return.

Zi Nu raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly.

"Xiuyuan is joking. I don't have that many thoughts. Just managing Zilanxuan well and providing these poor girls with a place to stay has already exhausted my energy. I don't have the mind to think about anything else."

Upon hearing Zi Nu's answer, Chen Xiuyuan smiled but did not respond. Instead, he brought up the previous question.

"Someone will end this world."

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. The fact that she was standing here chatting with Chen Xiuyuan already spoke volumes.

If it were an ordinary young man, Zi Nu wouldn't be so enthusiastic. There are quite a few things that Zi Lan Xuan needs her to manage, and if there were no other reason, she wouldn't need to waste her time on a young man.

In fact, it was during her interactions with Chen Xiuyuan that she discovered he was no ordinary person, which led to her second visit.

"Oh, then who is this person?"

Chen Xiuyuan shook his head and did not continue to answer the question.

But he said something to himself.

"Judging from the current situation, the outcome of this timeline will not change. That person will still stand up and end this era of endless war."

The room fell silent again, and no one spoke. They sat or stood quietly, a gentle breeze blowing, and a carriage slowly drove away downstairs.

Chen Xiuyuan's gaze flickered slightly as he looked at the small flag on the carriage.

If I'm not mistaken, the person in that carriage is none other than Liu Yi, the Left Sima of the State of Han.

Thinking of Li Kai before, ripples spread across the lake of her heart. Observing people and looking in the mirror, it was actually a kind of cultivation for him. When she saved him, she said a lot of things, but she didn't know how that person would choose.
"Xiu Yuan is interested in Zuo Sima Liu Yi??"

Seemingly noticing Chen Xiuyuan's gaze, Zi Nu suddenly spoke.

Chen Xiuyuan shook his head. The person he was interested in was not Liu Yi, but Li Kai. In fact, the two of them had some connection.

The two of them went to Baiyue together, one serving as the Right Military Commander and the other as the Left Military Commander.

Later, Zuo Sima Liu Yi, driven by lust and greed, conspired with Duanfa Sanlang to steal the treasures of Huoyu Manor, which was eventually burned to the ground.

As for Li Kai, he was tricked by Liu Yi and almost died on the battlefield. It can be said that Li Kai's current situation is directly caused by Liu Yi. The two have an irreconcilable feud.

After a moment of silence, Chen Xiuyuan asked again, "Does Zilanxuan have any other books?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu withdrew her gaze from the darkness and replied with interest, "Xiu Yuan seems to be very interested in those things."

Chen Xiuyuan thought for a moment and replied, "Stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade."

Although Zi Nu didn't know what Chen Xiuyuan was trying to do by reading those books, this answer was clearly not a real answer.

"Does Xiu Yuan know what kind of place Zi Lan Xuan is?"

Chen Xiuyuan frowned, pondering what Zi Nu meant by those words. Then he nodded.

Zi Nu's eyes sparkled as she smiled and said, "Some things can't be bought with gold."

Chen Xiuyuan nodded thoughtfully.

He then spoke again, saying, "How about I exchange it for a piece of information?"

Zi Nu narrowed her eyes. From another perspective, Zi Lan Xuan was an intelligence organization. She didn't believe that Chen Xiuyuan, who had just arrived in Xinzheng, would have information that Zi Lan Xuan didn't know.

But when she saw Chen Xiuyuan's calm and composed expression, she couldn't help but wonder, could this young man really know something else?

She then slowly sat down, stared at Chen Xiuyuan, and smiled, "That depends on what kind of news it is. Our Zilan Pavilion has very good information network~~"

Chen Xiuyuan raised his eyelids and met those probing eyes. A ripple inevitably stirred in his heart, but it quickly subsided in the blink of an eye.

But when Zi Nu met Chen Xiuyuan's deep eyes, she was momentarily dazed, unable to tell whether the person sitting in front of her was an innocent young man or a wise man who had experienced the world.

"Former Right Sima Li Kai is back."

Zi Nu was taken aback. She knew who Li Kai was, but she never expected that Chen Xiuyuan would know as well.

But then she smiled and said, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with our Purple Orchid Pavilion, does it?"

A slight smile appeared on Chen Xiuyuan's lips.

If Zilan Pavilion were merely a brothel, this information would be of little use, but unfortunately, Zilan Pavilion is not.

He leaned against the wall, then lowered his voice and said, "Li Kai, Liu Yi, Ji Wuye."

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu's pupils contracted slightly. Now she was certain that the young man before her was no ordinary person; he had his own unique insights into Korea.

Zi Nu reached out and gently tapped his forehead.

"Young master, being so clever isn't good; I'm almost tempted to tie you up!"

"The book is in Nongyu's room. She'll take you to see it tomorrow."
