Guild Boss's Ambition

"You guys can discuss this matter slowly over to the side, and don't block my stall."

"Ei Lao, you are such a heartless old man!" I cursed angrily.

He yawned, picked up a photo album and pretended not to hear.

Very good, he is cruel.

I stood up, gave Bai Ye a look, and went to a quiet corner of the square on the third floor together.

To be honest, my empathy was completely aroused just by the word "dumb".

I deeply understand the difficulties a mute has to face.

What's more, this is a cold and chaotic world.

However, I didn't want to agree to take in this child so easily. After all, it was absurd and ridiculous to let a twelve-year-old girl adopt another twelve-year-old girl. Moreover, the little girl that Bai Ye brought back seemed to have other special conditions. I felt that I couldn't raise her well by myself.

At least a few adults should be dragged into the water.

Ebi is not good at dealing with children, so he was the first one to be passed.

President Ehard is too busy, so he has to pass it up too.

Blanny herself is a mute type, and having her take care of a mute child would definitely be even quieter than silence.

Hmm...

Maybe we can go find Korolo and Strom?

Or was it Annie?

Or is it the necromancer in front of me?

Amidst my myriad thoughts, I gazed into the white night.

She gave me a subtle smile and said something that made me shudder.

"Uru, you were a mute before, right?"

"How did you know this?"

I was so surprised that I was shocked all over.

Bai Ye explained thoughtfully, "I once invaded your soul and read your memories after you appeared in the Panlong Forest. When you were talking to President Ehard that night, a language called sign language flashed through your mind."

After a while, she smiled and added, "Don't worry. The power of the restriction has prevented me from seeing anything about your past. Therefore, you don't need to be on guard against me. If you are really worried, you can use the power of the soul contract to confirm this fact."

"..."

I looked at her suspiciously, and finally believed what she said.

And since she made it clear that I know sign language, doesn't that mean she wholeheartedly wants to push this little girl to me...

But what good will this do for Bai Ye?

“I just think it’s fun.”

Once again, she used her mind-reading ability to answer my questions.

I sighed, taking the responsibility of the child on myself. "But legally, this child must have an adult to guarantee her, otherwise she will be an illegal resident. If the alliance finds out, things will be much more troublesome."

"Well, I have already arranged her household registration a long time ago. She is nominally my adopted daughter."

"But you had planned this all along, and you didn't intend to take charge of raising her."

"Smart! You got it right! That's why I always like talking to you, Uru. It's simple and direct."

As for Bai Ye, I was destined to be at her mercy, because she knew very well where my bottom line was, and she was so smooth that there was no chance for me to catch her. Instead, she often spotted my weaknesses and took advantage of them to achieve her desired goals.

"Okay, I'll leave this little one to you. I'm leaving first──"

At this time, Bai Ye seemed to have something important to do. She pushed the dusty girl towards me, and then wanted to turn around and leave the third-floor square. Seeing this, I quickly chased after her and grabbed the corner of her clothes to stop her from leaving.

I yelled at her angrily, "Hey, hey! Big sister, please don't run so fast, okay? There are still many things I don't know about this little girl. Without going into other details, you should at least tell me the child's name, right?"

Bai Ye turned around and was startled, then looked at me playfully and smiled, "Didn't you use the Eye of Truth to identify me last time? This kid shouldn't be very mysterious. I used it on her once and knew most of her personal information. Your Eye of Truth is about the same level as mine, so you can probably read the same content."

"..."

This old witch of his mother!

I increasingly feel that I had no secrets at all before the White Night.

I said sullenly, "Bai Ye, why do I feel like you've become even more cunning?"

Hearing this, Bai Ye smiled, shook his finger proudly, and corrected himself: "It's just that my IQ has returned to its original normal level! Your memory restriction is really too exaggerated. It directly reduced my intelligence to 10% of the usual level. I was so anxious that I arranged a decisive game full of mistakes..."

"Thank the system, thank God."

I cheered for my good luck in my heart, and said without asking for permission, "Well, since I can check the personal information myself, Bai Ye, remember to regularly help this child pay for her living expenses, transportation expenses, tuition fees, medical expenses, insurance premiums and other daily expenses. Do you understand?"

Bai Ye blinked his bright eyes and smiled happily: "No problem, I will get all the fees you asked for from that little vixen. That bitch's business has been booming recently. It shouldn't be a problem for me to ask her for one or two thousand gold coins every month. The only side effect is that she will cry because of it."

Looking at the cold-blooded and ruthless Bai Ye, I couldn't help but feel pity for the beautiful girl named Mafeluna.

I gave in and said, "Forget it, I'll just pay for the child support myself."

Afterwards, Bai Ye left the third-floor square with an attitude of victory, leaving me with a little girl.

I looked at the little girl who didn't say a word, sighed, and gave her an identification shot.

5. The Baptist (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

The eyes of a mute are the most expressive.

The little girl's eyes at this time were also easy to understand.

She is afraid of me.

Afraid of this unfamiliar environment.

It’s like a deer living in nature suddenly gets lost in the cold city forest.

Although it was winter, she was wearing very little, only a rough top and old-fashioned cotton pants that didn't match the top at all. But perhaps she was already accustomed to the cold, so her body didn't show any discomfort.

The first thing was to convince her that the Stone House was a safe place.

At the same time, I also want her to know that I am a trustworthy person.

But before that, I want to confirm one thing.

"Can you understand me? If so, nod your head."

Fortunately, the girl in front of her named Lian'er nodded her head.

If the two parties cannot speak the same language at all, that would be a big problem.

Seeing this, I breathed a sigh of relief, put on a friendly but not exaggerated smile, and introduced myself: "Hello, Lian'er! I am the hostess of this stone house. My name is Ulu-Lan Nong. Others call me Xiao Lan."

I smiled, extended my hand of friendship, and waited for her to shake it.

However, she just stared at me without giving me any response.

At this time, I continued to remain patient and gave her a look.

After a long while, she hesitantly held my right hand.

well.

Shaking hands is the first step for humans to express trust in each other.

With the first step, there will be the second step, the third step...

I just took her hand and asked her, "Lian'er, do you know where you can go back to?"

When she heard my question, her eyes flickered and her right hand, which I held, twisted slightly uneasily.

I held her hand tightly and repeated my question.

"Do you have any other place to stay? If yes, nod your head. If no, shake your head."

She shook her head blankly.

I let out a long breath and softened my voice and said, "Now, you are in an adventurer's guild called Stone House. Our guild can provide you with shelter. It is safe here. No one will hurt you. I will also help you adapt to life here. Here, I want to ask you, do you want to stay in our stone house?"

After hearing my question, the girl remained silent.

She just stared at the floor in silence, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

Perhaps, even she herself could not guess what she was thinking.

I decided to push her a little and give her what I thought was right for her.

"You don't have to decide everything right away. You can try living in our stone house for a few days. If you don't like it or feel uncomfortable here, you can leave. We are very free here and we won't force you to stay."

I deliberately waited for her answer with expectant eyes.

one second...

Two seconds...

Three seconds passed.

She finally nodded.

Although she had made the decision, her expression was still confused.

But it doesn't matter, I will guide her step by step to get familiar with this new environment.

I said goodbye to Ebi first, and then took her to my room.

Yes, I decided to put her in my room temporarily. After all, she was a child who had been abducted for several years and was also mute. She might have all kinds of special circumstances. In order to avoid causing any bad influence on her or the stone house, I had to spend a long time observing her in detail.

It’s definitely not about keeping a mistress in a golden house!

Even if I've been single for a long time, I wouldn't make a move on a twelve-year-old girl.

You won't suspect that I have any selfish motives, right?

Anyway, I took her into her room and closed the door.

Then, Lian'er took out something that surprised me from her pocket.

That's a fat one.

I recognized this pantyhose immediately.

Not because it is a cute, plain, popular blue and white pant.

But because it was originally worn on my body.

No wonder I always felt the bottom of my skirt was so cool along the way just now...
