Rebellious Contract Beast

How long has it been since this happened?

Twenty years? Thirty years? Or maybe forty years?
It has been too long, and the long years have long worn away the melancholy in his heart. He would occasionally think about it and wonder what he would be like now if he had made different choices at that time?
But if he could really do it again, Wu Gong felt that he would most likely choose to let her leave.

She is a desperado and has been following her all the time. Perhaps one day she will die at the hands of her enemies just like her former brothers.

Being with someone like me is the greatest torture. I'd better give up after thinking about it.

Of course, it is also possible that this widow is not her. Dahong and Daliang are thousands of miles apart. How could she appear here at such a long distance?
As for why she was stunned when she saw herself?
Maybe it’s because I look so scary.

After all, people who see themselves for the first time will be stunned.

The year I met her, I was still the faceless Wu Gong. Now I have changed so much, like a completely different person. How could she recognize me?
At this time, Wu Sheng and others talked about Zhu Yantao, and they couldn't help laughing. Wu Gong took a sip of wine and laughed too, but this laugh was somewhat bitter.

He hypnotized himself in his mind, but when Nie Yinhua came over with the dishes and their eyes met again, his heart began to waver again.

"..."

"..."

The two looked at each other in silence. This time, Wu Gong was stunned for even longer. The memories of the past in his mind surged like waves, making it difficult for him to calm down for a long time.

"Sorry, sir." Nie Yinhua's eyes were complicated and a trace of panic appeared on her face. After hurriedly putting all the dishes on the tray with trembling hands, she trotted away without looking back.

Wu Gong stared at her back, opening his mouth again and again, wanting to say something, but no words came out.

She looks so similar, is a good cook, and has opened a restaurant in Jiangzhou City. All the qualifications are met. Who else could it be but her?
Wu Sheng, Duan Huai and others around him said nothing. They just stared at the two of them. Although Wu Gong refused to admit it, his reaction made everyone have the same guess.

I'm afraid this gang leader of mine is in love...

The so-called love at first sight...

Seeing Nie Yinhua enter the kitchen again and disappear from his sight, Wu Gong finally withdrew his gaze with difficulty and turned around. However, when he saw the looks of others, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said, "The dishes are all here, why don't you start eating?"

"...Boss, just admit it, are you interested?"

"Yeah, boss, if you like it, just say it. It's not shameful. Why are you being so shy?"

"If you've taken a fancy to us brothers, we'll help you come up with some ideas, and we guarantee that you'll be able to catch that person, Boss!"

"Shut up, everyone! Eat!"

"Hey, the boss is still shy, hahaha!"

"Okay, okay, let's eat first. But Master Gong, I have to remind you that widows are the talk of the town. Although this lady boss is not young, she still has her charm. There are many people eyeing her. If you don't make a move and someone else takes her away, don't regret it!"

"Get lost..." Wu Gong was furious and wanted to curse, but before he could finish, he lost his temper and looked at Ye Baocun helplessly, "What's the name of this lady boss? Do you know?"

"This..." Ye Baocun scratched his head, looked at the others, and said, "Master Gong, the reason I came to this store is because I think the boss's daughter is pretty. I only know that the boss's husband's surname is Tian, ​​and her daughter's name is Tian Haoyu. I really don't know the boss's name, but I can ask the brothers around to ask."

"Well, don't let me down." A gleam of light flashed in Wu Gong's eyes. It had been so long that he could no longer remember the girl's name. It seemed to be Nie.

She left very quietly without leaving any clues. Wu Gong looked for her for a while but couldn't find her.

I thought I would never have any contact with her again in this life, but time has passed and things have changed so much. How could I still be able to continue our relationship with her?

However, it is uncertain whether this is the rekindled relationship. To determine whether it is her, we need to know her name first.

If it is really her, then the word "fate" is truly indescribable.

……

"Xuan Li! Xuan Li!"

Bang bang bang!
"Here I come, stop shouting!"

Another day, there was a knock on the back door of Mingyanyuan. Shen Yi ran over hurriedly and saw Wu Sheng's figure outside as soon as he opened the door.

"Your gold."

As usual, Wu Sheng handed the gold wrapped in cloth to Shen Yi. Shen Yi nodded with satisfaction after seeing it. It seemed that Zhu Yantao had got gold again in the past few days and he would hand over the fifty taels on time every day.

"Anything you want to say?"

"Yes, this is the Quxianyi you wanted. I sent someone to buy it from a merchant from Dajing in the ghost market. It's brand new. So what do you want this Quxianyi for?"

"Of course it's for business?"

"What important business?" Wu Sheng's face was full of doubts. The day before yesterday when Shen Yi asked him to help get Qu Xianyi, he felt strange and asked the same question, but Shen Yi's answer was the same. He said that he wanted to do some important business, but he just didn't say what it was for.

Wu Sheng didn't think about it in any strange way, he just felt confused and curious.

"Don't ask. There's no benefit in knowing this." Shen Yi said mysteriously.

Of course he wouldn't tell others what Qu Xianyi was used for. In fact, it was just a new skin for the old witch. He was tired of those sets and wanted something fresh.

Wu Sheng couldn't help rubbing his chin when he heard this. He really couldn't figure out what this Qu Xian Yi could be used for. However, since Shen Yi had said so, he was too lazy to think about it and said, "There are only more than ten days left. If Zhu Yantao gives you all the gold you want, will the little girl really agree to marry him?"

"How is this possible? The old witch doesn't know about this."

"What about you?"

"Isn't this simple? I never said that Zhu Yantao was chasing after an old witch. You can ask Duan Huai for details. He knows the situation."

"Well! You are such a loser! You cheated me of my money and my feelings!"

"Come on, I cheated you of money and love, and you killed people and set fires, don't laugh at me when I am alone." Shen Yi said indifferently, playing with the gold he had just obtained. However, when talking about Zhu Yantao, he quickly remembered something and asked, "Oh, by the way, I asked you to find out where Zhu Yantao got the gold. Have you asked someone to check it out?"

"Oh!" Wu Sheng suddenly remembered and said quickly, "I checked it." He only said four words, paused, and then his expression became strange. He continued, "I asked my men to follow Zhu Yantao and found that he went to a gambling house in the west of the city. It seems to be called Jifu Gambling House. He got his gold from that gambling house. After asking around, I learned something."

"what's up?"

"The reason why the people in the gambling house gave Zhu Yantao the gold was because he mortgaged something to the gambling house. Do you want to guess what it is?"

Shen Yi seemed a little impatient and said unhappily, "Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me what it is."

"It was the Mei Se Xuan from the Zhu Mansion. He mortgaged his Mei Se Xuan to the gambling house in exchange for gold."

"What?" Shen Yi was stunned and asked quickly, "How much gold did he exchange for Mei Se Xuan?" "I don't know, but it shouldn't be much. My people often see Zhu Yantao going to Ji Fu Casino from time to time, and also see people from Ji Fu Casino and people from the Luo family on the street."

"I rely on!!"

Shen Yi almost jumped up. Zhu Yantao really has an idea to mortgage Mei Sexuan as a property.

For a moment, he was almost moved by Zhu Yantao's behavior. His love for the old witch was so deep that he could do this.

But on second thought, it didn't make sense. In this world, when a man and a woman get married, generally everything the woman has will belong to the man, unless the man is marrying into the woman's family. Maybe Zhu Yantao wants to have both the woman and the money.

After all, there is a saying that if you can’t let go of your children, you can’t trap the wolf.

However, even if Zhu Yantao gave all the gold and completed the so-called test, Shen Yi would never marry He Jian Chuyun to him.

Shen Yi just wanted to get something for nothing and didn't want to make any sacrifices, but the problem was that if he wanted to fool Zhu Yantao, this matter couldn't be made too big.

You know, the reason why He Jian Chuyun agreed to let her aunt arrange guards in Mingyan Courtyard was because of Shen Yi's persuasion.

The purpose of this is to stop Zhu Yantao who wants to break in and prevent He Jian Chuyun from knowing about this matter too early.

If it was just a simple love-hate relationship between a man and a woman, the Zhu family would not interfere. It was your business if you could pursue her, and it was also your business if you couldn't. But it would be different if Mei Sexuan was involved.

Although I don't know how Zhu Yantao got the title deed to Meisexuan, all the houses in the Zhu Mansion belong to the Zhu Mansion. I also learned from Wu Sheng that the Ji Fu Casino is obviously related to the Luo family. Letting the Luo family own a house in the Zhu family's mansion, isn't this purely disgusting to the Zhu family?
This matter can be big or small, but once it happens, the Zhu family will definitely hold people accountable. At that time, it will not just be Zhu Yantao who will be targeted. The old witch will also be targeted. Then, once the accounts are settled, all the gold that Shen Yi got from Zhu Yantao will have to be handed over. Wouldn't that be a waste of time?
This can't go on like this!
"No! This won't work!"

"What's not working?"

"Go back and send someone to Qingshuisongyuan to find Zhu family mistress He Jianyanqiu and tell her that Zhu Yantao mortgaged Mei Sexuan to the Luo family."

"why is that?"

"Damn it! Jifu Casino belongs to the Luo family. Let them get Mei Sexuan. I don't know how the Luo and Zhu families will argue. Anyway, it will definitely implicate me. It took me so long to get this mere two thousand taels of gold. I don't want to give it back when the time comes!"

"I don't quite understand..."

"Oh, I'm too lazy to explain to you. Mei Se Xuan is only mortgaged now, and it doesn't completely belong to the Luo family. It's better to let the Zhu family take it back quickly and save some trouble!"

"You don't want the gold that will last for more than ten days?"

"Don't take the remaining gold buddies, just keep the ones you already have."

"Okay then! I'll ask someone to do it later." Wu Sheng nodded.

"Hurry up, don't delay, is there anything else you want to say?"

"One last thing. Qu Xiangui wants to see you. He said that everything has been arranged and he is just waiting for your order."

"Okay, I understand."

"I'm leaving."

"roll roll roll!"

Seeing that there was nothing more to say, Shen Yi threw a box of silver at Wu Sheng, closed the door, and went to the backyard.

On the way, he couldn't help cursing in his heart: "Damn, this Zhu Yantao is simply crazy!"

After cursing, he shook his head and quickly put these things behind him. He took out the new set of Quxianyi and looked at it.

This set of Quxianyi is cyan, and he likes the color very much. The most important thing is the two pairs of stockings, which are woven with ice silk and have a certain elasticity. It must be very nice to touch the legs of the little maid when she wears them, hehe~
He couldn't help laughing twice, but when he turned a corner, Shen Yi's expression froze, and the wings on his back opened reflexively.

I saw a woman with a big sword on her back leaning against the wall in front of me, looking at me up and down.

This is one of the two guards from the Zhao family, Xiangtao!
As soon as he saw her, Shen Yi had a bad feeling in his heart. He immediately suspected that she had seen everything he was talking to Wu Sheng.

After all, this person is at the peak of the consciousness level. Her perception covers a wide range. Even if she locked onto me, I couldn't detect her. It's hard to say that she didn't use her perception to observe me just now.

Gulong~
His throat was surging and a strange sound came out of Shen Yi's mouth. After a brief panic, he quickly calmed down, as if she didn't see what he had done at all, and then he continued to walk forward leisurely.

After only taking two steps, Shen Yi realized that Xiang Tao's eyes were on him from beginning to end. Whenever he moved, her eyes followed him.

Upon noticing this, Shen Yi stopped, but did not look over immediately. Instead, he released his sense and touched her.

Swish!
As expected, as soon as the feeling touched her, she bounced it back.

There is nothing to say now. Xiangtao must have seen what I did, so she came here to stare at me.

Realizing this, Shen Yi did not leave. He turned around and looked at her. The man and the beast stared at each other, neither of them moving away, just trying to see who would be embarrassed first.

They stared at each other for half a minute. In the end, Shen Yi got the upper hand with his thick skin. Xiang Tao couldn't stand it anymore. She moved her eyes and asked, "Were you talking to someone just now?"

"..." Shen Yi said nothing and continued with the death stare.

He didn't answer, and Xiangtao fell silent.

After a while, she said, "I saw and heard that your contracted beast can speak human language."

"I should have told you earlier when I saw you. I am a Class A Life God after all. It's no big deal for me to speak human language. What do you want to do?"

"I'm not sure if you're talking to anyone..."

"Are you not sure if you're still here to squat with me?"

"Does Miss know about this?"

"The old witch must know."

"Ah? Old witch, what do you mean?"

"It's your lady."

"You actually call her like that, aren't you afraid..."

"..."
