[If we continue to rely on system expenses, we can still support them. ]

[But after monetary inflation, prices will rise, and the lives of ordinary people will become more difficult.]

[Opening a hot spring resort would probably earn them some money, enough for them to be self-sufficient.]

When Bai Qiuyuan was shopping yesterday, he discovered that there was suspected to be a hot water underground spring deep under the imperial city.

Originally, Bai Qiuyuan planned to find time to build a hot spring villa for himself to enjoy.

Robbing the mountain stronghold and opening a hot spring in the mountains far away from the imperial city also saved Bai Qiuyuan a lot of trouble.

[A burly bandit wouldn't be able to learn advanced techniques like hospitality in such a short time...]

[If we want to open the hot spring villa, we need to recruit some staff. ]

[The wealthy businessman from the Wen family is called "Wen Zhengping," right? ...]

……

——Beside the wall of the Wen family courtyard——

A group of servants brought a little girl in a long skirt to a middle-aged man with a gold ring on his finger and a slightly plump figure.

The middle-aged man looked at the girl and said with a headache.

"Yesterday, I sneaked over the wall and escaped, but was caught by bandits. Do you want to get caught again today?"

The middle-aged man was none other than Wen Zhengping, the richest businessman in the entire imperial city!

The girl who was captured was Wen Ningyu who had been captured by bandits before.

"Dad! There's a sword-wielding immortal brother who said that if you want to come and play with him in the future, you can go directly to the village to find him!"

Wen Ningyu explained with a smile.

For some reason, after she finished speaking, Wen Ningyu seemed to remember something, and an unnatural blush appeared on her face...

"What little brother? Yesterday you were talking about a sword immortal saving you. I think you were hallucinating."

"Just stay home today!"

"Come here, take the young lady back to her room."

Wen Zhengping rubbed his nose and said to the servant with a headache.

Just when Wen Zhengping was having a headache, a childish boy's voice suddenly rang out.

"Isn't there someone here?"

Everyone looked up following the sound and saw a black-haired boy in gorgeous clothes and fur coat standing on the high wall!

But that boy was more handsome than ever!

Her temperament makes people feel untouched by the mundane world, like a miniature version of a banished immortal!

Everyone was stunned for a few seconds...

"Where did this kid come from? How dare he climb up someone else's wall and make trouble?!"

"Someone, bring him down!"

Wen Zhengping came to his senses and shouted to the servant beside him with a headache.

Bai Qiuyuan: "..."

"Little brother!"

When Wen Ningyu saw this, she shouted excitedly.

Wen Zhengping:?

Bai Qiuyuan smiled and nodded, looking at the servants surrounding him, then reached into his sleeve and took out the 1.4-meter-long Broken Ink Sword from his sleeve.

Everyone: [? ? ? 】

[Such a long sword? How did he fit it into his sleeve? ?]

Bai Qiuyuan gently threw the Broken Ink Sword in front of him.

The Broken Ink Sword flew up directly and landed beside Bai Qiuyuan!

"Fei Jian! Are you the sword immortal who robbed the mountain stronghold that Xiao Yu mentioned?!"

Wen Zhengping was shocked when he saw the flying sword.

[Such a young child... is actually a sword immortal!? ]

Bai Qiuyuan jumped down from the wall easily, landed steadily on the ground, put his hands into his sleeves, and said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I knocked on the door, but no one answered."

That natural smile was as gentle and elegant as a spring breeze that melted the winter ice.

The servants around were all stunned.

Wen Zhengping looked down at his daughter, who was a little shy, then at the young swordsman in the distance, who seemed to be radiating a dazzling light, and fell into deep thought...

[I finally understand why this little girl insisted on running into the bandit den...]

……

……

【05】Elbows turned outward

——Yesterday——

"Hmph! Dad only knows how to keep me at home reading, practicing the piano, and learning needlework. It's so boring!"

A girl wearing a light pink dress, who looked to be about six or seven years old, was walking on the street. After she finished speaking, she kicked a small stone at her feet with a bored look on her face.

The girl was Wen Ningyu.

Wen Ningyu used the little martial arts skills she had secretly learned to climb over the wall and sneak out.

"Let's play until the evening and then go back!"

[Speaking of which, it looks like there's a sequel to the storybook I've been reading recently. I'm going to buy another one!]

at this time!

A pair of large hands suddenly and silently reached out from the alley on the side and grabbed Wen Ningyu's hand!

Wen Ningyu: “!!”

Wen Ningyu was about to shout when another hand reached out and quickly covered Wen Ningyu's mouth and nose!

Then Wen Ningyu felt that reality began to blur.

Wen Ningyu quickly lost consciousness and was dragged into the alley.

All the movements were done in one go, and it was obvious that the person who did it was a repeat offender...

……

……

"Where is this place?"

After an unknown amount of time, Wen Ningyu woke up from her coma and found herself in a prison somewhere!

His hands and feet were tied with hemp rope, but his mouth was not gagged.

It seemed that the kidnappers were not afraid of Wen Ningyu's shouting at all.

There were two bandits guarding the door of the special prison.

"Hey! You two! Do you know who I am?!"

"Let me go now! Believe it or not, I'll ask my dad to hit you to death with money!"

Perhaps it was because the cell environment was dark, damp, and cold, which made Wen Ningyu, who had always lived a life of luxury, a little irritable.

boom!

After hearing this, a guard impatiently slammed the long knife in his hand against the iron railing, making a harsh metal collision sound.

Wen Ningyu was so frightened that she shrank her neck.

"Little ghost, do you still think you are in your own home?"

"This is Panshe Village! Be quiet!"

"If you keep talking, I'll shut your mouth!"

"Tsk, the boss and the others are drinking and having fun in the hall, while we can only stay in this cave and watch this girl..."

“It’s freezing…”

"Stop talking so much. We are still counting on making a fortune from this girl."

"Tsk."

After hearing the other man speak, the man continued to guard impatiently.

Wen Ningyu was so frightened that she dared not continue to speak. She curled up in a corner and cried quietly...

[Wuwuwu… I want to go home… Daddy…]

--A few minutes later--

Wen Ningyu sat on the weeds on the prison floor, crying and thinking with regret in her heart...

[Dad... I was wrong... I will never play around again...]

I’m so hungry…

Just when Wen Ningyu was regretting, the voice of a boy talking to himself was heard in the dungeon.

"I searched everywhere but couldn't find it. It turns out it's underground."

"Come to think of it, when I was wandering around just now, I saw a spring underground."

"who are you?!"

The two guards rushed towards the entrance of the cave after they finished speaking. Soon, there were several metallic collisions, dull knocks, and the sound of people falling to the ground, and the guards' voices disappeared.

Wen Ningyu: “?”

Wen Ningyu couldn't see the exit, so she sat there silently looking at the iron bars of the prison.

【What happened? Is there anyone who can help me? 】

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps slowly approaching.

Wen Ningyu saw a boy wearing a black fur coat and with long black hair. He looked about the same age as her, but was holding a black sword.

The boy held the black sword and waved it at the iron gate a few times. In an instant, the iron gate was easily cut like tofu!

The broken iron bars fell straight to the ground.

The boy stepped over the broken iron on the ground and came in front of Wen Ningyu. Then he used his sword to cut the hemp rope that tied Wen Ningyu, bent down and stretched out his hand, and asked.

"Can you stand up?"

The person who came was Bai Qiuyuan.

Wen Ningyu saw Bai Qiuyuan's face clearly through the light of the dungeon torch.

The moment she saw Bai Qiuyuan's face clearly, for some reason, Wen Ningyu suddenly recalled the contents of a storybook that her maid had read to her.

As the girl screamed, a handsome young man in red descended from the sky, sword in hand, like a divine soldier! In an instant, he slew all the evildoers with his sword! This man was the Red-robed Sword Immortal! Su...

Before Wen Ningyu could finish her recollection, Bai Qiuyuan grabbed the hand that Wen Ningyu stretched out slowly and pulled her up from the ground.

Wen Ningyu thought of the sequel to the picture book, where the woman saved by the sword immortal married the sword immortal. Her face immediately turned red and she didn't dare to look Bai Qiuyuan in the eye.

"It's dark and the mountain road is dangerous. Let me take you back."

Wen Ningyu lowered her head and nodded shyly.

When the two passed by the entrance of the cave, Wen Ningyu saw the guard lying at the entrance with a weapon in his hand, and asked fearfully.

"Brother...Brother?"

"Ok?"
