Imperial City Ruins, opportunities refreshed daily

Chapter 11 Temporarily Getting Rid of Suspicion
"No." Xu Hao accepted the punishment humbly.

It was only five taels, which was not even enough for the scraps of gold leaves he had just obtained. It was not a big deal.

Seeing Xu Hao's sincerity, Tang Wan'er warned him, "If you overstep the bounds again, you'll be punished severely, have your status revoked, or even go to jail. Remember that?"

"Yes." Xu Hao quickly clasped his fists.

Men don't fight with women. He just wants to go back as soon as possible and refine the cultivation resources he just obtained.

"Go back." Tang Wan'er waved her hand.

Xu Hao left quickly.

Tang Wan'er looked at Xu Hao's back with a slightly strange expression, because according to her perception, Xu Hao's luck became a little better after he was released.

If such a lucky person could be accepted into the Ninth Princess's family, perhaps he could improve the Ninth Princess's fortune.

"Entering the villa can increase my luck. Are there any opportunities here?" Tang Wan'er pondered for a moment, then she walked into Villa No. 12.

I am currently investigating the remnants of the White Lotus Sect. No matter what the situation is, every branch must be checked to ensure that there is no room for error.

She didn't have to do this, but for the Ninth Princess, she had to be a little tired.

Tang Wan'er walked into the villa.

The rooms in the villa were empty, as if no one had lived there for a long time, but there was not much dust around, obviously because the palace maids cleaned them regularly.

After all, these villas are for royal relatives or meritorious officials to live in, and being too shabby would be unbecoming of the royal family.

"Hmm?" As Tang Wan'er walked into the main room, she immediately noticed something strange.

There were obvious traces of cleaning footprints on the ground. With her Taoist physique and keen perception, she immediately smelled a hint of the scent of turned soil under the bed.

Tang Wan'er strode over to the bed, lifted it up with force, and immediately found a hole.

Tang Wan'er bent down, explored with her hands for a moment, and immediately frowned.

It's obvious that something has just been taken here.

"Is it him?" Tang Wan'er frowned. No wonder she could feel some fluctuations of luck from him. It turned out that he had obtained a treasure.

Although there are countless treasures in the palace, including those from the previous dynasty, and some people took the opportunity to hide them, it is extremely difficult to obtain them, and most of those who can obtain them have some good luck.

It seems that Xu Hao has good luck.

"I'd like to take another look!" Tang Wan'er said thoughtfully.

Outside the Imperial Palace Avenue, Xu Hao, who was unaware of the situation, remained calm.

The palace is originally a place of great treasures, and it is well known that some places contain treasures.

Even if the treasures here were taken away by Xu Hao, it wouldn't mean anything.

After all, Xu Hao is not really an undercover spy for any force, and he would not do anything big like overthrowing the imperial power or murdering the royal family.

And with a backpack with a virtual panel, no one can help.

Therefore, even if someone wanted to suspect him, they would not find any corresponding evidence.

Xu Hao patrolled for a while and then returned to the small stronghold where he was stationed.

With nothing to do, Xu Hao began to practice the Soul-Breaking Sword.

This is his trump card now, and he needs to practice it well.

With the original owner's memories, familiarity with the body, and the understanding gained from two lives as a human, Xu Hao's cultivation went very smoothly.

Every minute, Xu Hao has a deeper understanding.

As time went on, his skills improved.

Meanwhile, inside the Wu family's courtyard, two slender figures were playing with and sorting various jewels and valuables. "Wow, this is a Blood Essence Pill, each worth hundreds of taels of silver, a premium elixir for the human level of martial arts. I didn't expect two to be sold at once," a beautiful woman exclaimed in amazement as she picked up a porcelain bottle.

She looked at the name of the gift giver, Jia Gui, and couldn't help but turn her head to the other beautiful woman and said, "Sister Wu, this person treats you well. Do you have any thoughts?"

The beautiful woman Wu Yanyan, who was called, stretched her waist lazily and said indifferently, "Jia Gui's father is not bad. Although he is just a small official in the Ministry of Revenue, he is very powerful. Unfortunately, Jia Gui's own cultivation is too poor and his appearance is not good either. He is not worthy of my attention."

"Hehe, Sister Wu has very high standards. She's been playing them around like crazy. But why has that guy named Xu Hao disappeared in the past couple of days? He hasn't sent any gifts yet?"

Wang Qingyue had a deep memory of Xu Hao because he was the most handsome man she had ever seen. If Xu Hao had not been devoted to Wu Yanyan, she would have wanted to cheat on him.

"Maybe he was delayed because of something. The imperial palace was recently attacked by the White Lotus Sect, and I heard that he was injured." Wu Yanyan spoke calmly, as if talking about a stranger.

"Sister Wu, why don't you take this opportunity to revitalize the relationship and enhance our relationship? Perhaps when his injury improves, she will immediately give him a more precious treasure?" Wang Siyue showed a meaningful smile.

She was deeply impressed by Xu Hao. Apart from his constant flattery and fawning over Wu Yanyan, he was also extremely handsome.

"He has no strength, no background, but he's good-looking. He's just a nouveau riche, just a way to liven up his life. He doesn't need me to protect him. All I need is a word, a glance, and he'll come to me to please me and give me treasures."

Wu Yanyan was very confident because she had practiced some kind of charm, and with her naturally beautiful appearance and figure, it was easy for her to control these trash.

"But you're right. Sometimes this kind of waste also needs maintenance and nourishment. After I consume this batch of resources, I'll ask him to give me treasures."

"Hehe, Sister Wu is so bad."

The two men were fighting, but the protagonist of the incident, Xu Hao, continued to practice until dawn.

Xu Hao relaxed his body, pushed open the door, handed over some matters, and then left and walked straight towards the Xu family's small business.

Xu Hao quickened his pace, eager to return to the room to check his specific gains.

Earth-level opportunity!
Don't know what it is.

When Xu Hao returned to the Xu family, he saw Xu Qianzhi frowning in the lobby.

At this moment, Xu Qianzhi's eyes were dim and he looked extremely worried.

"Dad, why are you still not sleeping so late?" Xu Hao reminded.

"Oh!" Xu Qianzhi sighed when he saw Xu Hao coming.

Xu Hao asked calmly, "Is there any trouble?"

"It's the container incident from yesterday. Although it was rescued in time, the fire still burned most of the cargo. Now the buyer has heard the news and is asking us for compensation!"

Xu Qianzhi originally did not intend to tell Xu Hao about these trivial matters, but after Xu Hao's previous analysis and planning, he felt that Xu Hao's strategy was appropriate.

Therefore, he no longer regarded Xu Hao as an inexperienced person, but as someone with whom he could discuss decisions.

"Compensation? Have you signed these?" Xu Hao asked.

Xu Qianzhi sighed, "Oh, it's my fault too. I've invested in a lot of businesses, and with all the expenses, there's not much money left at home. That's why I wanted to do something big, but ended up running into this trouble. And to make it look realistic, I accidentally burned a little too much."

"How much difference?" Xu Hao asked.

Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem, because the opportunities he gained in the palace included a lot of money.

Things started with him, and naturally they can end with him.

"I have raised some money, but I am still short of three thousand taels!" Xu Qianzhi pointed with three fingers.

Originally, the Xu family would not have been so poor, mainly because they moved to the capital and purchased too many properties to pave the way for Xu Hao to become a royal guard and smooth out relationships. In addition, Xu Hao had always wanted to pursue a woman from an official family, so they gave too much money, resulting in insufficient working capital.

They thought that the Xu family could make a small profit from the goods and tide over the difficulties, but they ended up burning. Not only did they not make any money, they even lost money.

"Three thousand, is that all?" Xu Hao thought of the gold leaves that came with his first Human-level opportunity and said nonchalantly, "Three thousand taels, I should have that!"
