Witch, please have some self-respect!

At lunchtime, I encountered someone again trying to take a shortcut by finding a godfather.

Shen Yun sternly refused.

His attitude toward Shen Qiqiang that morning made many servants in the mansion have designs on him.

People were more enthusiastic when they saw Shen Yun, and some of the younger guards even had a bit of a fawning look on their faces when they saw him.

After taking a nap, I played chess with Old Man Feng from the manager's office across the street in the afternoon.

Old Man Feng was a collateral branch of the Feng family and was in charge of purchasing matters for the household. He could be considered neither a servant nor a master.

Within the Immortal Seeking City, the Feng family's master is only the direct descendant of the family head, Feng Zhi.

Outside the city, in Fengjiabao, a large number of members of the Feng family's collateral branches still live.

"eat..."

Shen Yun raised his hand, holding the chess piece, to suppress Old Man Feng.

"I didn't see it."

Old Man Feng slapped his thigh hard, about to take back his move, "It doesn't count, give me a move!"

"You're such a jerk, you just accept defeat and always try to take back your moves."

Shen Yun refused to budge, and the two white-haired old men began to argue.

"I only lost one piece! You think I've already lost because I'm in your hands?"

Old Man Feng's face became rosy and glowing from anger at Shen Yun, and the two of them looked younger and younger as they talked.

"It's all because of you, Old Shen, deliberately covering for me and using underhanded tactics. Even though I lost a piece, I'm still in the lead..."

Half an hour later, having still not gained any more merit points, Shen Yun, too lazy to play chess with Old Man Feng, turned around and returned to the steward's room.

Losing three games in a row makes it hard to feel happy.

As a chess novice who has failed twice, I really want to emulate the chess master of the Han Dynasty.

Back in his room, Shen Yun pondered the information he had gleaned from Old Man Feng.

Old Man Feng is the purchasing agent for the Feng family, and his son is a member of the city guard. He is well-informed.

In recent days, an earthquake has occurred deep within the Qianlong Mountains, causing many wild beasts to flee outwards, and herb gatherers have been discovering rare and exotic plants every day.

Rumors are circulating that a thousand-year-old divine medicine or treasure will be born.

"Now that I have a breathing technique, I don't need any exotic plants. I think the Blood Essence Pill should be able to help me advance to the next level!"

Shen Yun completely abandoned his idea of ​​going to the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range outside the city.

That place has become a hotbed of trouble; today, several young masters and ladies from the manor went there to search for treasure.

"Bang bang~"

Just as my shift was about to end, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Yun assumed it was one of the eager apprentices, so without looking up, he called out, "Come in."

"Uncle Shen, you've only been married a few days, and you're still busy checking the accounts!"

A clear, crisp female voice rang out, and a woman in a green dress, with a slightly playful air, pushed open the door and entered.

Shen Yun then looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "Little Green Ivy." He flipped his hand and closed the ledger.

"Is there anything the First Madam needs from the old man?"

Green Ivy and Shen Yun's wife Wan'er were both trusted maids of Luo Yinghong, the matriarch of the Feng family.

In recent years, the two have been the most valued by Luo Yinghong.

Their appearance often signifies a command from the mistress.

"Madam asked me to bring you some things."

Green Ivy took out a brocade box and a handwritten letter from her bosom.

Shen Yun glanced at it, and after taking out the box, Little Green Ivy's already not-so-plump figure became even flatter.

This is the complete opposite of Wan'er.

"This morning, Wan'er came to pay her respects and asked the physician to help you recuperate. After much thought, the lady bestowed this brocade box upon you."

This is both a wedding gift from our family to you two, and a reward for your diligent service to the family over the years.

Green Ivy put down the letter and solemnly handed the sealed brocade box to Shen Yun, her eyes filled with a hint of greed and envy.

The First Madam was so willing to bestow such a precious gift upon Shen Yun.

"good!"

Shen Yun accepted the brocade box with both hands, somewhat puzzled. What could be so important that it was being treated with such solemnity?

However, as the two approached, Green Ivy saw the old man's wrinkled face and couldn't help but shudder.

This is where her best friend ended up.

I'm inexplicably happy!

"What's wrong?" Shen Yun asked, puzzled, seeing that Green Ivy was still there.

There were only two people in the room. Green Ivy hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and whispering.

"Uncle Shen, the mistress bestowed Wan'er upon you because the head of the family has taken a liking to her. You should keep a close eye on her..."

After saying that, Green Ivy hurriedly left.

Old Shen and the head of the family are both old men, but their significance is very different.

Old Man Shen needs to keep a close eye on things.

If her girlfriend were to marry into a wealthy family, how many years would she suffer?

"I see!"

Shen Yun suddenly realized why he had been hastily betrothed.

I instantly understood what was going on.

As Su Wan'er grew up over the years, she must have caught the eye of the family head. After the First Madam noticed this, she directly bestowed her upon him.

This is not the first time.

The head of the Feng family, Feng Zhi, was completely subdued by his first wife, Luo Yinghong. Despite being the dignified head of the Feng family, he had only three wives and no concubines.

Shen Yun inexplicably thought of how Wu Da managed to marry Pan Jinlian.

grass.

He was in an even worse situation.

At such an old age, he's useless, he doesn't get any benefits, and he even got ripped off!

Shen Yun was furious.

Fortunately, he had served diligently for so many years, becoming a pawn in the power struggle between the couple.

Those affected will not be completely destroyed.

He's over sixty after all, and has seen too much, so he's still quite composed.

Shen Yun frowned as he opened the handwritten letter from Green Ivy.

The letter mentioned the head of the family, and the mistress instructed Shen Yun to stay home as much as possible during this period and to take good care of Su Wan'er.

This made him feel much better.

Moreover, the eldest daughter of the Feng family will be returning in a while, bringing a few trusted old servants to look after the mansion, and she will take Shen Yun with her.

Stay away from the Immortal City.

In addition, Su Wan'er is gentle and knows how to serve people, so he won't lose out; she'll be a good match for him in his old age.

Let him focus on his work.

"Go to the Holy Sect to serve the young lady?"

Shen Yun stroked his beard, thinking of the little girl who had joined the sect fifteen years ago.

Every few years, sects come to Seeking Immortals City to recruit disciples. Many people join these sects, but few return after achieving success in their cultivation.

It is said that the sect is too far from Seeking Immortal City, and even if they step into the Blood Sea, it will be difficult to return.

However, some rare news came out recently.

The eldest daughter of the Feng family became a disciple of an elder of the sect and became a true disciple.

The Holy Sect is rumored to have a background as a reclusive immortal sect, and its true disciples have unlimited potential.

A few days ago, the city lord of Seeking Immortals City came to offer his congratulations.

"The Feng family, the eldest young lady, the Holy Sect..." Shen Yun's thoughts raced.

Has he been behaving too much like a loyal servant all these years?

Thinking about it, it makes sense; he's the only one among the Feng family's old servants.

Suitable for overseas assignments...a loyal and hardworking prospect.

Taking the other old servants to the Holy Sect, there are still concerns about finding the Immortal City, so they may not be able to do their best. The Feng family will still be blessed to their descendants.

trouble.

Shen Yun aspires to cultivation and is not opposed to it; a sect would be a good place for him.

As for Feng Zhi, Shen Yun felt a bit worried. The patriarch was naturally a powerful cultivator, far superior to the guards.

Let alone striking him, he can't even stand a breath from him.

Fortunately, Feng Zhi has been away for a while and hasn't returned yet.

Although Fengzhi valued him highly back then, people always change.

As he grew older over the years, he became more involved in the household accounting department and had more contact with the First Madam.

Having few opportunities to communicate with the family head, Shen Yun couldn't fathom Feng Zhi's current thoughts.

The bond between master and servant is almost completely exhausted.

There was nothing he could do; he was just an ordinary person and couldn't accompany Feng Zhi on business outside the mansion.

Not even qualified to be a loyal servant!

Therefore, we must go to the holy city.

Feng Zhi was henpecked and dared not cause trouble under the watchful eye of the First Madam in the mansion.

Be careful to avoid this period.

Sorting through the troubles within the manor, Shen Yun opened the brocade box with a slightly excited heart.

Inside was a pulsating mass of flesh, the size of an infant's fist.

"This is blood offering!"

The old nanny beside Luo Yinghong could tell that Su Wan'er was a virgin and knew that he was useless.

They sent Green Ivy to deliver something useful.

Blood food is not only extremely beneficial for spiritual practice, but it also has the remarkable effect of strengthening the body and nourishing the vital energy of the elderly.

It can make this old man feel young again, and it's rumored that eating too much of it can even prolong life.

They are rarely seen in the Immortal Seeking City, and once they appear, they are immediately snapped up by the major families.

Such a small piece would cost at least a thousand taels, and even then, it might not be possible to buy it.

Blood food is only available in sects tens of thousands of miles away, and is very rare in Seeking Immortals City.

A small piece can help an ordinary person advance to the next level.

"The First Madam sent her wife and food offerings. She will definitely serve the Eldest Miss well in the Holy City to repay the First Madam's kindness!"

When you're sleepy, I'll bring you a pillow.

Without further thought, with this blood food, Shen Yun's chances of reaching the next level increased from 50% to 80%.

Strength is the foundation.

Today is the perfect time to break through. Let's see if this blood food is as miraculous as the legends say!
