Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

This kind of thing depends on one's own ability. Moreover, if she can help Feilin seize power, others can also help the eldest prince seize power.

It’s a pity that Ye Qing is not here now, and she knows nothing about it.

"As long as you two agree and sign the contract, the plan can be implemented immediately and we can regain control of the empire."

Old man Yuan waved his hand, and the young man behind him picked up the suitcase and placed it in front of everyone very carefully.

In the game, Roland, who had just disappeared, appeared again.

"Everyone," he said when he saw that the gathered group had noticed him, "It's a nice day today, so I came to exchange some money to spend. I saw that you all made a lot of money just after leaving Li Xi's shop. I want your newly bulging wallets, but I don't think you will refuse the potion I made."

The group of people were all silent, which was very rare. They all stared at Roland, and then looked at each other. Some people began to discuss, and some had already begun to weigh the price they could offer. A hand was raised from behind the crowd.

"Roland, what is it this time, a healing potion?" The owner of the hand squeezed out of the crowd and stared at Roland's hand. "I knew it. Hey, I just need this. Cyanide... uh, please give me two bottles. You can take the money." He was a little unskilled when he said the word "please" and stuttered.

Someone started the conversation, and the crowd became noisy again. They crowded around Roland and stretched out their hands to ask for prices. Roland slowly put a potion bottle into each hand that stretched out its hand, then took their money bags and placed them on the ground at his feet. Soon, he had given out the few bottles in his hand, so he reached into his pocket. At this moment, the crowd was pushed aside, and a burly man with a big beard walked up to Roland. From his narrowed eyes, it could be seen that his mouth, hidden under the beard, was grinning.

"Roland! Our old friend, you are here! Today is a lucky day." He rubbed his hands together. "Why don't you come in and sit for a while? I have some hot ales. They taste great."

The man came up and put his arm around Roland's shoulders, and pushed away the people who had gathered around him again. Roland smiled, bent down and picked up the small pile of money bags that had accumulated: "As a store owner, you are really hospitable. I hope you have something that I'm interested in."

"Oh, of course, of course." The boss laughed.

Someone around cursed: "Li, how many times are you going to raise the price of Roland's potion this time? Damn old man."

"I can't buy it anyway, so it doesn't matter if the price goes up several times. Just wait to buy the diluent, you idiot. Luckily I grabbed it quickly just now." Someone nearby responded.

The crowd gradually dispersed, knowing that there was no hope. Some lucky people held up bottles of golden liquid to show off, causing others to boo. But soon no one was bothered by not being able to buy the potion. They were all born optimists, and optimism was the most important quality in this era. They sang and walked along the street arm in arm, and the store entrances were empty again, and peace returned.

There was a long table at the entrance of the store, blocking the way into the store. On the walls on both sides of the long table were hung all kinds of weapons, including knives and swords of different lengths, bows and arrows, slings, etc. Behind the long table were several rows of shelves, which stretched as far as the eye could see. There were all kinds of things, including all kinds of strange plants, bottles and jars, and roughly cut stones.

Roland sat on the side of the long table near the door, pulled out a chair and sat down, then took out a handful of small bottles of healing potions from his pocket and placed them on the table.

The shop owner, Li Xi, had just stepped over the long table and entered the inner room, and soon came out with two wooden cups. He placed the cups on the table, and the yellow-white wheat wine inside was still steaming. He pushed one cup in front of Roland, took the other, took a few sips, and put it back on the table.

"Roland, you rarely go out recently," he said.

Roland took a sip from the cup, and the rich aroma of wheat filled his mouth, with a hint of spiciness. This wine is not intoxicating, and it is called wine because of its spicy taste. Adventurers in the town all like this kind of wine, it tastes good, warms the body, and it doesn't matter how much you drink.

"Yes, I'm busy lately." Roland answered simply and took the heavy purse handed to him by Li Xi, who was putting the pile of potions into the bag.

Li Xi packed all the potions on the table into bags and put them aside. “Do you still need the information of that…the one…‘Disease and Filth’?”

"No need." Roland shook his head painfully. "Not only that, I have to go to church later. I think the influence of Him on me has not been completely eliminated, even though I drank several bottles of holy water this morning."

Li Xi looked at him deeply.

"You have to be careful. I heard that a lot of people have died outside recently, and the bodies don't seem normal. The power of chaos seems to be active again, and something is about to revive. I'm sure that the royal capital will make big moves recently. I think you should be more cautious in your attitude towards gods recently." He whispered.

Roland nodded gratefully: "Thank you for your information. Next time I will prepare more offerings and dispelling spells."

Li Xi remained noncommittal. He was very familiar with Roland's character, and it was probably something abnormal that made him fear the gods.

"Well, I think you'll be fine. By the way, I received something very strange yesterday. I mean, very weird. Do you want to take a look?" The boss from the East lowered his voice, leaned close to Roland, and whispered.

Chapter 38 Danger is coming

After Roland left, a young man in fancy clothes stepped into Li Xi's shop.

Li Xi didn't even turn his head, but just rearranged his goods in front of the cabinet.

Roland had just found quite a few medicines, but Li Xi's attitude towards Roland was completely different from the impatience he showed towards Ye Qing.

"We are closed today..."

"There is a mission."

The young man in Chinese clothes said calmly. He was holding a box that was completely out of place in the game background and standing at the door of the store.

Hearing his voice, Li Xi quickly turned around and rushed to the door, slamming it shut.

"Are you crazy?! Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"Emergency mission, news has arrived over there."

The young man in Chinese clothes still looked calm, but everything he said made Li Xi completely unable to calm down.

Urgent task

These four words were like a curse, words that Li Xi never wanted to hear in his life.

"Contract, without a contract, nothing can be said..."

Before Li Xi could finish his words, the young man in Chinese clothes had already placed the suitcase on the table.

After carefully opening it, inside the box was a parchment contract bound by countless dark red chains.

Needless to say, Li Xi couldn't help but take a step back.

He clenched his teeth, seeming to be quite resistant to the contract in front of him.

Li Xi's face was pale and beads of sweat the size of beans were appearing on his forehead uncontrollably.

If players saw this secret businessman in this state, they would probably be curious about who could have made him lose his composure like this.

"Why this time?"

"The eldest prince is dead, and Dalalis has rebelled. They need another person to control the situation, no matter what form it takes."

The young man in fancy clothes walked to the side and skillfully took out a teapot and tea cakes from the cabinet.

As he spoke, he made himself a pot of tea. Compared with Li Xi, he seemed to be the master of the house.

"Have you confirmed this with them? Once the alternative plan is implemented, I'm afraid it will lead to the collapse of the entire current situation. Even if the plan is successful, the main plan may fail due to the loss of players."

The word "player" actually came out of the mouth of the virtual character Li Xi.

He did not pick up the contract in the suitcase, but sat down opposite the young man in fancy clothes.

At this moment, Li Xi had completely lost his previous composure. He sat back in the chair tremblingly, with his hands clasped tightly in his hair.

“…If they cared, would they still implement this plan?”

The young man in fancy clothes sipped his tea calmly, seemingly not caring at all about Li Xi's doubts and anger.

He really didn't need to get involved in these matters because his job only required him to deliver the information.

But after hearing these words, Li Xi suddenly raised his head.

"You mean...it's just that they don't care?"

The young man in fancy clothes did not answer. He drank the tea in the cup, stood up and walked out of the store.

Before opening the door, he did not forget to give a reminder.

"Everything is in the box."

After the brief meeting, Ye Zhiqiu followed the old man of the Ye family and slowly walked towards the study.

Although the old man was using a cane and his right leg was obviously not very flexible, he still insisted on moving forward.

Ye Zhiqiu followed the old man silently, neither helping him nor saying any extra words.

It was not until they entered the study and waited for the old man to sit down that Ye Zhiqiu spoke.

"Grandpa, if you just agree to this...isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

After hearing what Ye Zhiqiu said, the old man, who had always had a stern face, relaxed a little and was no longer as serious as he had been during the previous meeting.

"Are you worried about your niece? It was you who suggested secretly interfering with some of her memories, right?"

This rhetorical question made Ye Zhiqiu sigh. It was indeed she who took the initiative to bring up this matter.

"From a profit perspective, wouldn't it be better if we had our own people in control?"

"From a profit perspective, the best way is to break away from the influence of the three major families. No family should interfere in this matter."

The old man sneered, and it was obvious that his position on the matter could not be more obvious.

Even in the Ye family where he is, he still thinks about more than just his family.

"Grandpa, what you said... We are just doing a small thing. Isn't it the intention of the higher-ups to let us just go ahead and do it first?"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled helplessly, walked straight behind the old man and lifted his shoulders for him.

From beginning to end, the entire plan is not something that can be supported by a family alone.

Just by looking at the composition of the company Huanmeng, you can understand who the real operators are in the plans for that world.

The old man didn't say anything more about this, he just closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.

"But that little girl is indeed ruthless and resourceful. This is what a member of our Ye family should be like."

These words made Ye Zhiqiu behind him suddenly happy. You know, no matter how much the family talked about Ye Qing before, the old man never said a word.

Regardless of whether the comments were positive or negative, as long as they existed, it meant that the old man at least cared about it, and Ye Qing was able to catch his eye.

But the old man had never made any comments before, but today he started praising me as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Grandpa, does that mean..."

Ye Zhiqiu spoke tentatively. She had been preparing for this for many years.

But she kept her composure, and until today she has never even formally mentioned it in front of the old man.

Even her private meeting with Ye Qing was her personal behavior.

"Don't even think about it."

"Grandpa, it's all old news. Even if my sister-in-law is from the Liu family..."

"Zhiqiu, what does this have to do with your sister-in-law?"

The old man sighed helplessly. He knew very well that his granddaughter was pretending to be ignorant, but he couldn't bear to scold her.

If it were any other younger generation in the family who dared to speak like this, they would probably be scolded by him.

The reason why he didn't let Ye Qing "return to his roots" had something to do with Ye Qing's parents, but had nothing to do with blood ties.

"I understand. It's to protect her. Otherwise, my second brother might have taken action, right?"

"Humph, they've already started."

The old man snorted coldly and slammed the ground heavily with the cane in his hand.

These words stunned Ye Zhiqiu who was standing behind him. She had been secretly observing and guarding against the Ye family members attacking Ye Qing, but she didn't expect that there would still be some who slipped through the net.

"It's normal that you didn't find out. This time it's not just the Ye family's doing. There are also shadows of other small families. They are just used as pawns."

The old man pointed at the piles of documents on the table and motioned Ye Zhiqiu to look through them himself.

Ye Zhiqiu must find out how this group of people were able to do this right under his nose, and what organizations they belonged to.

But after reading the investigation document, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but frown.

"Don't they feel ashamed for doing this, second brother?"

"Compared to the inheritance of this family, perhaps the embarrassment is just a matter of time."

The old man sneered. He knew the personalities of his children very well.

It is not surprising for him that something like this is happening now.

"This matter was dealt with secretly, most likely by Yi Pei..."

Looking at the outcome of the whole incident, Ye Zhiqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she already knew that nothing had happened to Ye Qing, when she saw that the killer had been dealt with, she naturally guessed that it was Aunt Mei's work.

Of course, the Ye family would not handle these matters for Ye Qing. They even hoped that Ye Qing would be killed by outsiders to avoid dirtying their hands.

"The contract has been signed. It's up to you to decide what to do next."

The old man sighed, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, but he didn't show it on his face.

After turning around and bowing slightly to the old man, Ye Zhiqiu picked up the documents and left the study.

In Ye Qing's room, Li Xi, who was originally responsible for cleaning the room, seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then stood there.

The color of the pupils changed, which meant that Wenmier's consciousness replaced them again.

"what happened?"

Wen Mil spoke to the shadow in the corner. If someone saw this scene, they would probably think that the host Li Xi was "sick" again.
