"What do you mean by how many years? I just started doing this at Auntie Sun's house! I've never done this before!"

"It's my turn now!"

"What are you talking about? Do you think Xiwen is willing?" Fang Qingxiao knew something was wrong and kicked the ball over directly. At the same time, she exerted invisible pressure with her sharp eyes and an expression of 'you know what to say'.

So Li Muyu also turned his head and pursed his lips subconsciously.

"Again, is my opinion useful?" Fang Xiwen, who was standing by the bed, suddenly looked tired and sighed, "If you keep arguing like this, I will really move to Liushenmen.

I have to deal with everything, interrogating the captives from the Mie Tian Sect, receiving the remnants of the Blood Robe Sect, supervising the Six Gates, and presiding over the handover of industries... When I get home, I have to practice, cook, read, and mediate your disputes. As a result, I can't even sleep well.

Love it or not, I'm going to sleep on the floor."

After this tired monologue, the two sisters looked at each other and fell silent.

Seeing that he always has that gentle smile on his face to everyone, even if he is busy all the time, people can't help but ignore his hard work. In fact, he is the one who is the most tired, running around, worrying and stressing, and in the end, there are still a lot of things to do when he returns home.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault." Fang Qingxiao got off the bed, hugged him tightly, put on her slippers, glanced at Li Muyu silently, and said, "Don't let him worry anymore."

"I know."

After Fang Qingxiao left, Li Muyou put the pillow on top, adding it to the existing one, then took his hand and said gently, "Let's go to sleep, okay?"

"Ah."

"You sleep inside, and I...sister will protect you outside, okay?"

"Ah."

This was the first time Li Muyu called herself a sister. Her heart was pounding. She felt a little strange, yet extremely happy.

After both of them lay down, Fang Xiwen looked at her face and couldn't help but smile.

"what happened?"

"Actually, I'm not tired at all. I was just lying. The inner strength I've cultivated is very powerful. I'm very energetic even without sleep."

"You can't think like that. For assassins like us... the most important thing is patience. It's common to stay awake for ten days and ten nights, but it's very damaging to the body. It's easy to shorten your life, and no magic pill can cure it."

Li Muyou looked at him steadily, reached out and touched his head, and whispered: "I won't cause you any more trouble. Take good care of yourself."

"It's not a big deal. What I wanted to say just now is that although I'm not physically tired, I will feel tired mentally if I think too much. But seeing you and sister talking in a friendly manner is better than anything else. The tiredness soon disappeared."

"For Xiwen's sake, I will give in to her in the future..." As she said this, Li Muyu quietly raised her eyes to look at his expression and found that he was still smiling gently.

"Ha, this elder sister is the one who made you say such things. I don't know what to say to her."

"Yeah, how can that kind of person be the senior sister? Is there no one left in the Sword Sect?" Li Muyu suddenly became interested when he mentioned this. "How was she chosen?"

"No one of her generation can beat her, it's that simple. You don't know, when she was at the fourth level, she could reverse the situation by cutting through seven or eight levels. She was so arrogant..."

"If I'm well prepared, I can do that, too."

"So, do you also want to be the eldest sister of the Sword Sect? Think about it carefully. It is impressive, but it is also very hard."

"I've thought about it before."

"Hehe, so you actually want it now?" Fang Xiwen blinked and pointed outside. "It's easy. Go borrow a set of white clothes from my sister and put them on directly."

"Pfft. Do you think everyone is as stupid as Li Wuchang?"

"No, you really acted like a swordsman back then..." Fang Xiwen's eyes suddenly lit up, "Second sister, you smiled!"

"Is that so?" Li Muyou touched the corner of his mouth in panic, a little embarrassed, "Will it be ugly?"

"Very beautiful, much prettier than when you sneer."

"That's what we teach in the sect. Everyone has to learn it."

"The Mie Tian Clan also teaches this stuff, self-cultivation of villains, right? Explain it in detail, and teach me when you have time, maybe it will be useful."

"You do this first, then this..."

As he spoke, Li Muyu stretched out his hand to hook the corner of his lips, which made Fang Xiwen laugh. The former then hit him angrily and said, "It was obviously you who asked me to teach you that."

Outside the house, perhaps because of Fang Tianyu's action, the aftermath of the battle between the masters had been completely eliminated. The weather was no longer bone-chillingly cold, but it was still enough to make people shiver.

But when Li Muyu slept in the bed, he only felt the warmth like a stove, which was a completely different feeling from when he was alone lurking in the darkness.

It was really relaxing to chat with Fang Xiwen. They talked casually for a while, and soon his eyelids were drooping and he fell asleep without realizing it.

He was actually very tired, but he didn't say it... Looking at this peaceful sleeping face, Li Muyu felt warm in his heart and gently hugged his head.

On that warm night, there really was a place for me.

“Internal strength is not that powerful…” The woman pulled up his quilt and smiled softly.

Chapter 136: Sooner or Later, We Will Attack Xinggong

The next day.

Fang Xiwen slept soundly and got up early. Perhaps because of habit, Li Muyu slept well and neither of them disturbed each other.

He first practiced a set of sword skills in the yard, then went to the kitchen to make breakfast, and when he came out he just met Li Muyu who had just finished washing up.

She was still wearing the black nightgown, and her face was much less shy. She said openly, "Xiwen, good morning."

"Good morning, second sister."

Because Fang Qingxiao was still practicing sword, Fang Xiwen took out her portion of noodles in advance to prevent them from soaking, and then went to have breakfast.

A wooden table was set up in the courtyard, and the two sat facing each other.

"You usually get up so early, don't you get enough rest?" Li Muyu asked with some concern, holding the bowl, her pale face turning pink from the heat.

"I'm used to it. People say my internal strength is very strong." He made a gesture to show off his muscles and continued, "But I have something to do today."

"what?"

"There was a problem with the takeover of Mietianmen's industries in Xingping City. The Six Gates sent someone over and asked me to deal with it personally. They said they needed to negotiate with the representatives of Xinggong." Fang Xiwen buried his head in his food without raising his head.

In fact, he was a little puzzled, because according to the Six Gates, the representative of the Star Palace had no idea about business and seemed to be very unruly.

Logically speaking, Xinggong shouldn't have sent this person here with this character... Could it be that they knew he was here, so they just sent some random guy here?

In any case, this matter had to be dealt with. After hurriedly finishing his breakfast and saying goodbye to Li Muyu, he walked through the streets and alleys and came to the headquarters of the Six Gates.

As soon as he stepped through the majestic dark wooden door and saw the scene inside, Fang Xiwen almost laughed out loud. The person who came from Xinggong was an acquaintance.

"You can't even settle accounts, and you are all fed by the government! You are just sitting there doing nothing!" The one who was furious was a beautiful woman, wearing a light dress, like a fairy, with a silver headdress on her forehead flashing, and her chest rising and falling. It was Lin Huazhi.

At this moment, she slammed the account book on the table, her face full of anger, and she looked around and shouted, "Why is no one answering? Speak!"

Opposite her stood a bearded, bear-like captain, his red uniform bulging with muscle. Hearing this, he also became angry and said, "How many times do I have to tell you, this is the total expenditure account of Mie Tian Clan, how can they balance it with their moral character!

Also, watch your words. If I don't eat the government's food, what else can I eat? Do you want to occupy a place and establish yourself as king?"

"Who said that?"

The two were almost quarreling. The subordinates they brought with them wanted to mediate, but it didn't work well for the ones who were already in a big mood.

"Alright, alright, shut up!"

Suddenly, a clear voice was heard, and a handsome young man in a blue shirt walked in, with his hands behind his back and a half-smile on his face.

Seeing him approach, the head constable immediately lost his temper and bowed his head, "Third Young Master."

This was a ruthless man who had uprooted the malignant tumor of the Mie Tian Sect in Xingping City. It was said that he had also caused the loss of an external elder. That was why he deserved to be treated so seriously.

Even if we put all these aside, this person is also the prince of the marquis's mansion, and he was the one who personally asked someone to invite this great Buddha.

"Good morning, Captain Sun. Have you eaten?" Fang Xiwen walked to the table with a smile, glanced at the account book on it, and asked casually.

Seeing him coming, Lin Huazhi curled her lips and stopped getting angry.

"Here, eat it." Captain Sun choked for a moment, not knowing what he meant, but he got down to business anyway, "Third Young Master, this matter has nothing to do with us, the Six Gates, and you shouldn't attack us..."

It turns out that although Mie Tianmen has been deeply rooted in this place for many years and is the behind-the-scenes boss of many industries, the corruption in these subordinate industries is extremely serious. The management of teahouses, brothels, and restaurants is not only a mess, but they also owe a lot of foreign debts.

There are reasons for this situation. After all, the bulk of their income comes from squeezing the common people. If they are ruthless enough, they will use means to deprive the common people of their income. Then they can make a lot of money quickly. Not to mention whether they have the talent to run a business, there are not many people who can settle down and do business.

"The Demon Sect is like this. Their methods are despicable and their organizational structure is chaotic... I have to say, Captain Sun, this environment is quite suitable for them to seek the truth. After all, they all like to raise Gu." Fang Xiwen listened carefully, nodded with interest, and made a sharp comment.

"So smart, so knowledgeable," Lin Huazhi's eyes sparkled, she clapped twice, then rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "So what are you doing here?"

"Lin Huazhi, I'm warning you, be nicer to your boss." Fang Xiwen looked at her and smiled.

"Whose boss are you...uh, cough cough!" She subconsciously wanted to refute, but when she thought of the young master's order in his hand, she almost couldn't breathe and choked on her saliva.

"Look, retribution has come." Fang Xiwen felt slightly amused and poured a cup of tea from the table and handed it to him. The latter took it and drank it all in one gulp, glaring at him fiercely and said nothing more.

"Third Young Master, in your opinion, how should this be handled?" Captain Sun was a man who knew how to handle things. He knew that the key to this matter depended on him, so he had a very good attitude.

"Let me confirm. Xinggong's request is to take over these industries, including their customer base and business channels. However, according to the laws of Dajin, Xinggong must also take over these foreign debts and repay the Six Gates according to the arrears and taxes, right?"

"My Lord, it is Master Lin who disagrees with this and we were unable to reach an agreement."

"Isn't this easy? Just give me some face from the Six Gates and just pay off the foreign debt, isn't that enough?" As he spoke, Fang Xiwen took out a folding fan and began to wave it in a very professional manner.

"Wipe it off?" Captain Sun opened his eyes wide, sweat dripping down his face. "Third Master, your face is indeed valuable... but do you know how much this foreign debt is?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Fang, you are so shameless." Lin Huazhi laughed while holding her belly.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet. Captain Sun, think about it, if Xinggong doesn't take over, this foreign debt will be difficult to recover in a lifetime, right?

Where else can we find such a reputable sect? Moreover, after they take over the business, they must open it normally. The foreign debt will be regarded as the investment cost, and dividends will be obtained according to the amount of revenue. How about this? "

"This, this..." Captain Sun had never thought about it from this angle. After he pointed it out, he seemed to suddenly understand.

"As for the dividend ratio, you can have someone negotiate with them. The reputation of Xinggong is well known to everyone, and I think they will not treat you unfairly," Fang Xiwen patted him on the shoulder and continued, "Moreover, most of the people sent by Xinggong have cultivation. For example, this Chief Lin is a half-step outer scene master with extraordinary strength.

They will definitely protect their own property, so do you think the manpower and various costs for city defense can be reduced?

Of course, whether or not to give them a position is up for discussion. I don’t think anyone would refuse to eat government food, right?”

As soon as the words fell, the whole room fell silent, and everyone's expressions changed drastically.

At first, Lin Huazhi looked disapproving, wondering what kind of ivory could come out of this young man's mouth. Then the more she listened, the more frightened she became, and finally the way she looked at him was different.

Captain Sun also realized the feasibility of this matter, and he even saw further than Fang Xiwen. After all, Xinggong was a local sect, and if it interfered in internal affairs, it would definitely be criticized, but being responsible for patrols was just right.

There have been precedents of ghostwriters in the martial arts world before, and it sounds good to be known as such. But after having this kind of relationship, when evil sects like Mie Tian Men want to attack Xingping City, they have to think carefully.

"Young Master, you are thoughtful and considerate. I admire you!" Captain Sun bowed again. This Third Young Master was a Qingshou-level spy captain, higher in rank than him, so he bowed sincerely.

He gave his men a few instructions, and finally said, "I will go and inform Liu Yinzhang to put this matter on the agenda immediately!"
