Master, please don’t bring Feng Aotian back again!

Lin Li explained his thoughts to Bai Lanyu while turning his horse.

The little sister, who had always been following the eldest senior brother around, nodded as sensibly as always.

"Okay, then I'll send Master back, and then go find Senior Brother."

"Eh? No need for that. It would be good if you can take Master to familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment."

Lin Li was surprised by Bai Lanyu's suggestion.

"It's okay. Senior Sister Pu Xuan is also there. She has been observing the surrounding area these days. If she is to show Master around, she is more suitable than me."

"Besides, Brother, you are very weak right now. I have to stay by your side to prevent you from encountering any accidents."

In fact, I am not physically weak, but my spirit is weak.

A few words difference can make a world of difference in meaning.

Lin Li held his forehead and shook his head helplessly.

Looking at the determined look in the eyes of his junior sister beside him, whose blush had not yet faded, he couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch her cheek.

"Okay, but next time you remember, you can't explode your spiritual energy so ostentatiously in Jiangnan like you did just now."

"Based on consensus, this place is disconnected from the martial arts world. If people knew that your realm was too high or that you acted too arrogantly, you would attract unnecessary trouble."

Bai Lanyu nodded.

"I see."

……

Ten thousand families in Jiangnan.

It is rare that no businessman of high status comes to discuss cooperation today.

There is no wealthy boss who would spend a fortune on a certain product of Wanjia just because he took a fancy to it.

The main room has been full almost every day for the past month.

Now there was only a figure in green standing there alone.

It was Wanli who asked him to wait here.

So since he returned to the Wan family, he has been waiting here.

There was not a single stool for the guests to sit on, and all the tea and melon seeds had been taken away.

Lin Li, who was alone both inside and out, just stood there.

Occasionally, he would use his paws to scratch his eyes and hair.

From time to time, he would poke his head around and observe the expensive furniture made of ebony and golden nanmu.

In fact, Lin Li knew that there were eyes staring at him outside the door.

But no one was willing to come in and receive me.

You can tell with your ass that this must be what Wanli meant.

The little guy holds a grudge.

I just didn't reply for a month...

Even though Lin Li said this, he might not be able to hold it in.

"Yo."

About three incense sticks of time passed.

Leisurely footsteps were then heard from behind.

"What a rare guest! You haven't been here for more than ten years, right?"

"Why don't you sit down?"

Wanli, who even changed her clothes specially, walked past Lin Li slowly with her long skirt dragging behind her.

"Isn't there an empty chair for you?"

Wanli spread his hands towards the master chair.

"Why, you don't dare to sit down because it's the main seat? Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that Lin Li, you would still worry about this?"

"I thought you were the master. You just leave and disappear as you please all day long."

"Are you right, Master?"

The teasing tone was automatically filtered out by Lin Li.

Ignore the sarcastic remarks.

He clasped his fists humbly and said:

"I, Lin, would like to thank Miss Wan for taking Changming in."

……

Wanli looked at Lin Li for a long time before throwing his hands away angrily:

"You still know that I'm the one who took Chang Ming in!"

"Do you know how much I have spent on this little thing of yours?"

"How much effort did I put into finding you?"

"I even thought you were the same as before..."

Look at Lin Li who just lowered his head and had no intention of raising it.

Wanli didn't continue.

He just turned his head and exhaled to one side:

"Forget it. A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. It's useless for me to waste all this saliva."

26. What am I to you?

The prices in Jiangnan are really exaggerated.

Lin Li rubbed his head. He just went to buy some oranges, but ended up spending almost three taels of silver.

These days, he has almost emptied his family's savings.

Lin Li basically relied on the gifts from Shangguan Jin and Chu Jiangli for money and other things.

Although he could still make some money back from the business when running an inn, the overall sales could not keep up with Lin Li's.

Intelligence costs money, exchanging things costs money, and even buying oranges now costs a lot of money.

This was the first time that Lin Li felt so stretched since he traveled through time.

When he was practicing in the past, Lin Li didn’t have to worry about these things by himself.

"Hey, these are the oranges I bought. Would you like to have some?"

Suddenly I heard Lin Li say this.

Wanli raised his head from the document that seemed like a bottomless pit, first looking at Lin Li, whose smile was a little forced, and then at the golden small basket in his hand.

"Who told you..."

She wanted to make a joke.

But when I thought about it carefully, this guy had been immune to my criticism since the beginning.

Cursing him a few more times will not only not help me vent my anger, but will also make me watch him ignore it.

Angrier.

"Just leave it there. I'll eat it later."

Wanli waved his hand and lowered his head to deal with letters from all parties.

The amount of documents accumulated over the past few days was frightening, and the eldest daughter had the habit of doing everything herself, which made this mountain of work even more oppressive.

Lin Li placed the oranges on the table beside him.

I don’t know whether I should leave.

He simply put his hands behind his back and walked around it with confidence, feeling righteous and confident.

The boy's footsteps were light and silent, even the friction of his heels on the ground seemed extremely quiet.

So much so that he had already come behind Wanli.

The young lady didn't notice much.

Lin Li watched Wanli roughly divide the pile of letters into two piles.

She just glanced at some letters and threw them into her left hand.

Some of them were solemnly placed in her right hand.

Such different treatments made Lin Li curious about what the content of the letter was.

So he lowered his eyes and looked at the letter from a certain merchant together with Wanli.

Not to mention the flattery throughout the article, even the real business to be discussed was presented in a very obscure manner.

If this happened in Lin Li's era, he would have been lectured by his boss.

Sure enough, even Lin Li didn’t understand much of the letter, and Wanli quickly put it aside.

"Why don't you give this kind of thing to someone else to make?"

The sudden voice behind him startled Wanli.

The latter concealed the momentary fluctuations in his heart by straightening his back and leaning back in his chair without leaving any trace.

Wanli turned around and glared at Lin Li with a reproachful look.

"When did you come here? Why did you walk without making any sound?"

The young man ignored Wanli's anger and just picked up the letter and looked at it left and right.

"There's nothing here, isn't it a waste of time?"

"Did you get my permission to read a letter sent by someone else? What if there's something important in it?"

Wanli gave Lin Li a blank look.

Although he said that, he also reached out for the letter in Lin Li's hand.

But Wanli's reaction was not actually too urgent, it was more of a symbolic rebuke.

"What if...?"

Lin Li looked at the letter with a very obvious height difference on the left and right, and for a moment he didn't know whether to laugh or do something else.

Of Shan Gao's letters, the only ones worth reading are the few on the right.

The others became corpses lying all over the left side.

If it weren’t for Miss Wanli’s identity.

Lin Li almost thought that this was a girl dealing with all kinds of meaningless love letters.

"I really think you need to come up with a filtration system."

Lin Li crumpled up the flattering piece of paper in his hand and threw it aside, then spoke to Wan Li in a serious tone.

"Everyone's time is precious. There's no need to waste it on this kind of crap."

“Being hands-on and having high capabilities can really minimize the risk of a situation developing, but the efficiency is also touching.”

"You should have more important things to deal with than these."

Wanli looked calmly at the young man who was talking incessantly in front of him.

Although it's not quite clear what the filtration system in his mouth is.

But Wanli accepted all of these suggestions and put them in his heart to ponder over.

because……

"You just got here and you're already pointing fingers at me?"
