Becoming wealthy by raising furry animals

Chapter 52 Cang Zhuo's Visit
Ban You took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Heng with clear and determined eyes: "Is it dangerous?"

"No, I promise you, I will bring it back safely."

"Okay." Ban You nodded and was about to say something, but stopped.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Heng guessed that what she wanted to say was probably about marriage, so he didn't ask any further questions.

From childhood to adulthood, whatever he wanted, others would offer it to him with both hands. As long as it was something he liked, it would get him no matter what.

But Ban You was different. He was using Tianhu to marry her, which had already made her extremely worried. He had considered being tougher, but when he saw her drinking alone and feeling sad yesterday, he decided not to do that.

He just told her frankly that there was no need to get married, but he didn't want to.

Zhou Heng thought to himself: Let him be a little selfish, so that she can think about him a little more, just a little bit.

After Zhou Heng left, Ban You hurried back to the Li family.

At this hour, Li Yiyi and the others must have just woken up. Ban You planned to go find Xue Zhao first and then say hello to Li Yiyi.

She returned to her bedroom. At this moment, Xue Zhao was stretching lazily in the morning light.

When Ban You saw Xue Zhao, he walked straight towards him, picked up Xue Zhao and went into the house.

Xue Zhao, who was stretching lazily, looked at Ban You with a confused look on his face.

"Squeak!" (Human, what are you going to do?)

Ban You put Xue Zhao on the bed and talked to her about Zhou Heng.

Xue Zhao reacted violently when he heard this, squeaking non-stop, and one could sense his protest from his tone.

"Squeak!" (I won't go! I won't go!)

"Xue Zhao, listen to me. This is the agreement between Zhou Heng and me. The prerequisite for me to bring you back is that I train you to obey him. He also promised that he would not let you get into danger. Besides, after this is over, I will tell him again that I want you to come home."

Ban You did not tell Xue Zhao about the details of her previous discussion with Zhou Heng. Although Xue Zhao did not ask her, she would occasionally hang around Ban You.

Now that Xue Zhao heard about returning home, her protests became much quieter.

"Squeak!" (If the princess helps him, can she really go home?)
"Xue Zhao, believe me, I will definitely let you go home."

After a long time, Xue Zhao nodded his head vigorously.

"Squeak!" (Then this princess promises you, but you must let this princess go home.)
"do not worry."

While waiting for Zhou Heng to deliver the message, an uninvited guest appeared in front of Ban You.

That night, Ban You stayed at You'an Hall to make pet food. When she turned around, Cang Zhuo appeared in front of her, frightening her so much that she almost dropped the minced meat in her hand.

"You! What are you doing! You appear suddenly and scare people to death!" Ban You really don't like the feeling of their sudden appearance, a group of people who are good at light work.

There is no sense of security at all.

"It's my fault. I apologize to Miss Ban." Cang Zhuo bowed and saluted politely.

His attire today was different from before. He was neatly dressed in a purple robe inlaid with gold thread patterns, and his hair was tied up with a black jade hairpin. Compared with the past, he looked more handsome and gentle.

"Chief Cang, please don't be like this. It's better to speak frankly." When Ban You saw him, he remembered everything that happened in Jinque Tower that day, and his face couldn't help but turn unhappy.

"I came here today hoping that Miss Ban would not hand the Saint Girl over to your country's Ninth Prince."

Ban You was slightly stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean by that?"

"I know Miss Ban doesn't like me now, but I only came here tonight for the Saint's safety."

"Xue Zhao? Explain your thoughts clearly." Ban You put down the things in his hand and looked at him sternly.

"Miss Ban, you probably don't know what your Ninth Prince wants to do with our Saint?"

Ban You shook his head: "I just know that Xue Zhao will not be in danger, that's enough."

"But what if I say that the ninth prince of your country wants the blood of the saint?" "What did you say?!" Ban You slammed the table and looked at him when he heard this.

"Ancient records say that there's a sacred mountain in the Great Zhou Dynasty. On the mountain is a treasure house. Whoever obtains the treasure house can rule the world. To open the treasure house, four things must be collected: Sky Fox Blood, Earth Herb, Mysterious Flower, and Huangpu Root."

"Miss Ban, can't you understand what I'm saying?"

When Ban You heard this, she suddenly remembered that Aunt Wang had told her a long time ago that no one was allowed to go up Taohua Mountain since this year, and that Zhou Heng had been collecting treasures outside as a prince.

Ban You suppressed his suspicions and turned to look at Cang Zhuo with a cold tone, "So what? Why should I believe you based on your words alone?"

"Miss Ban may not believe me, but I believe that after you see this, you will definitely choose to return the Saint to me."

Cang Zhuo said as he handed Ban You a black book with a wrinkled cover.

"This is an ancient book guarded by successive clan leaders of my Mincang clan. It records in detail the emergence of this continent and that treasure house."

Ban You opened the book, which was filled with densely packed words that she couldn't understand.

She closed the ancient book and looked at Cang Zhuo calmly: "I don't understand."

These three words made Cang Zhuo cough.

Cang Zhuo then remembered that the ancient book was compiled in the ancient characters of the Min Cang people, and Ban You was not a Min Cang person so he really couldn't understand it.

"Although Miss Ban cannot understand this book, I just want to tell Miss Ban that I hope you will not hand the Saint Girl over to the Ninth Prince of your country."

"The safety of the Saint is extremely important to our Mincang Clan. We must not let her be in danger."

Ban You looked at Cang Zhuo and didn't speak for a long time.

After a long while, Ban You finally asked, "I have a question. How did you know what Zhou Heng and I were going to do?"

"Are you spying on me?"

"I'm just considering the Saint's safety."

"Okay, I'll believe you for now. But I want to ask you, what will you do if I return Xue Zhao to you?"

"Of course I will bring her back to the Min Cang tribe to be raised as a sacrifice. My Min Cang tribe's saint girl will naturally be worshipped by the tribe members."

Ban You was not surprised to hear this answer.

"So, you said these words so righteously, but you also want to take Xue Zhao away and keep him in captivity."

"Of course not! The saint of our tribe should not be wandering outside!" Cang Zhuo said this in an urgent tone, wanting to make an excuse.

"Your tribe's Saint? Xue Zhao was just outside her own cave when you captured her and kept her captive in the name of the Saint. You keep saying you're doing this for her good, but have you ever asked for her opinion on anything you did?"

"Xue Zhao can't speak, but you could clearly communicate with her. Did you do that? Xue Zhao finally escaped, and you chased her and almost hurt her. You don't forget all this, do you?"

When Cang Zhuo heard Ban You's words, his calm eyes gradually became fierce. He gritted his teeth, leaned closer and looked at Ban You with his head tilted: "Miss Ban, are you planning to hand the Saint Girl over to your country's Ninth Prince?"

Ban You watched him approaching her coldly, but did not dodge at all.

"I just want Xue Zhao to be safe and free. The rest has nothing to do with me. I don't care about the people of your Min Cang tribe or the so-called treasure house."

After Ban You finished speaking, there was no sound in the yard for a long time.

Cang Zhuo believed what Ban You said, so he didn't come here to ask for the saint back these days.

But now the situation is forced, if the saint does not return to the tribe, the elders of the tribe will probably come over.

By then, even he might not be able to protect Ban You.
