I, a minor character, fell into the Shura field of the heroine and the villain

"Manager Dongfang, please help me recruit a few people to manage the City Lord's Mansion. They must have clean backgrounds and clean hands and feet." Zhao Kangping said, standing with his hands behind his back.

After hearing this, the woman pointed at the dozen or so female disciples of Suzaku Hall and said, "No need to recruit them, just these two."

Chapter 171 Quarrel

Zhao Kangping turned around and glanced at the eleven female disciples of the Suzaku Hall. They were also the maids serving the Holy Lord in the Holy Lord Hall, and they were also the people around his senior sister.

My goodness, with twelve pairs of eyes staring at him, what secrets can he have?

"This is not good. They are from the Holy Lord Temple. How can they be ordered around by me?" Zhao Kangping said before he gave up struggling.

However, Dongfang Jingrou interrupted him directly.

"This is the order of the Holy Lord. If you have other ideas, you can discuss it with the Holy Lord."

"Ah, this..."

Zhao Kangping couldn't help but feel sad. Would it be useful to discuss it with his senior sister?

If I go to her and tell her that I don't want the maid sent by the Holy Lord Temple, wouldn't that be the same as telling her that I have something to hide?

"That's it." He could only swallow his anger for the time being.

"Okay, in that case, we can get down to business. We still have a lot of preparation to do regarding your upcoming succession as city lord. First..."

"Wait a minute, you can handle it. I know Manager Dongfang must have thought it through." Zhao Kangping was a little depressed. As a man, he was unhappy that his wife was controlling him like this.

He was in no mood to deal with these matters, so he just wanted to be a hands-off boss.

"But you are the city lord." Dongfang Jingrou, who has always been very serious, couldn't stand his irresponsible attitude.

"I don't want to listen, it's just a turtle chanting." Zhao Kangping covered his ears and ran out.

But Dongfang Jingrou would never let him go easily, so she ran out with him.

"Manager Dongfang, you don't have to chase me. I believe in your ability and I feel at ease leaving it to you." Zhao Kangping shouted to the woman behind him while running.

But how could the woman listen to him? Although she was arranged by the Holy Lord to assist him, she was still the Holy Lord's person and obeyed the Holy Lord's orders.

But Zhao Kangping felt that she was now his secretary.

An ancient sage surnamed Lu once said, "When there is work, the secretary will do it, when there is nothing else...

Forget the second half of the sentence, I don’t have the courage to do it for the time being.

Zhao Kangping ran out of the City Lord's Mansion in a flash, but met a man who made him feel dizzy at the door.

"Master." A sweet girl's voice came.

Wan Baiyi rushed towards him with a sweet smile.

Zhao Kangping discovered that even if he wasn't paying attention, he wouldn't be able to detect the demonic aura from the girl if she was intentionally hiding it.

If he didn't have the Eye of Perception, he wouldn't have been able to tell so quickly that she was a demon.

That's why she dared to move around in a city like Chuanliu City where many monks gathered.

The two of them bumped into each other, and the girl fell into his arms.

This scene happened to be seen by Dongfang Jingrou who came rushing over.

It's over.

Zhao Kangping thought to himself that something was wrong.

How come this little girl followed him secretly?

Before leaving, he reminded her not to leave there, but she turned a deaf ear to him.

"Lord City Lord, don't you intend to explain it properly?" Dongfang Jingrou glanced at the girl leaning on the man's chest. The girl put her arms around his back and hugged him tightly.

No matter how I look at it, something seems wrong. Could it be that this girl is his adopted child?

He actually called me master? He's really playing around.

At this moment, Zhao felt a chill down his spine. If he couldn't give a good explanation, this matter would be reported to his senior sister in no time.

"Actually, she..." Zhao Kangping's brain raced, and he quickly came up with an excuse: "I met her outside yesterday. Seeing her pitiful life, I took her in as a maid and told her to stay in the City Lord's Mansion from now on."

Damn, the house in the east of the city was just bought, and he originally wanted to settle Wan Baiyi there.

If she really becomes a maid and stays in the City Lord's Mansion, wouldn't all those spirit stones be wasted?

But he couldn't think of a better reason.

Dongfang Jingrou looked at Wan Baiyi carefully and did not see any spiritual fluctuation from her. Could she be a mortal?

But not long ago, Zhao Kangping said that the servants he hired had clean backgrounds, but he didn't know where he found such a girl. She frowned and asked, "What's your name? Where do you live? Do you have any relatives at home?"

The girl said nervously, "My name is Wan Baiyi. I have no relatives. I was homeless and wandering around. It was the master who took me in."

Dongfang Jingrou walked down the steps in front of the City Lord's Mansion. She approached the girl step by step, wanting to find out whether she had any cultivation.

Seeing the woman rushing towards her aggressively, Wan Baiyi hid behind Zhao Kangping.

"Don't stop me, let me check and see if she is hiding anything." Dongfang Jingrou walked forward. She saw the man put his hand in front of the girl, which made her a little annoyed.

Zhao Kangping thought to himself, he couldn't do anything to his senior sister, so how could he be afraid of this woman? He said, "No need, I've checked, she's just a mortal."

Dongfang Jingrou ignored him, used her body skills, and quickly moved around.

However, Zhao Kangping reacted quickly, protecting the girl behind him like a hen protecting her chicks and stopping an eagle.

When Dongfang Jingrou moved, he followed suit. His tight defense left her no chance to take advantage.

"What are you doing? I'm just checking to see if you have something to hide."

"I've checked it, and there's no problem. Steward Dongfang, please go and take care of other things first."

"I have to inquire about who the City Lord's Mansion recruits. I will definitely not let someone with unknown origins in."

"Then you can be the city lord."

"How can you be so unreasonable?"

In order to find out whether Wan Baiyi had any cultivation, the two people started arguing.

As the argument went on, the woman started to fight.

"Tear!"

During the argument, Dongfang Jingrou grabbed one of Zhao Kangping's sleeves and pulled it hard, pulling the entire sleeve off.

His right arm was also exposed to the air.

"What are you doing, woman? Are you angry and embarrassed? How dare you tear a man's clothes in broad daylight? How disgraceful! If you do this again, I will scream for molestation." Zhao Kangping retorted.

After these words were spoken, the woman loosened her grip on his arm.

"Just wait, I'm going to tell the Holy Lord and let her be the judge." Dongfang Jingrou didn't pretend anymore, she was going to tell tales openly.

"Haha, do you think I don't know that she sent you to monitor me? I just found a maid myself. What's the big deal? Could this really alarm the Holy Lord?"

He was implicitly criticizing Dongfang Jingrou for making a big deal out of nothing, his eyes widened.

Dongfang Jingrou is also a person who cares about face. She also knows that the Holy Lord is busy with affairs and should not be distracted by such trivial matters.

The Holy Lord did ask her to keep an eye on Zhao Kangping and not let him do anything wrong.

As for how to define "ransomware," it's hard to say. The Holy Lord hasn't given a standard for what constitutes reckless behavior.

"Stop arguing. This sister wants to be checked, so let her be checked." Wan Baiyi ran out from behind Zhao Kangping while he wasn't paying attention.

This was something Zhao Kangping had not expected. He had just defended her for a long time, but she ended up exploding on her own.

Then Dongfang Jingrou put her hand on the girl's wrist without any hesitation.

However, the girl was very good at concealing her demonic aura. Not only did Dongfang Jingrou not realize that she was a demon, she was also unable to find out her cultivation level. She only saw that she was an ordinary mortal.

But this mortal girl has snow-white hair and cherry pink eyes.

Is it really possible for a mortal girl to look like this?

Even Dongfang Jingrou, who was quite confident about her appearance, had to sigh that the girl's appearance was perfect.

She is as delicate as jade, with bright eyes, white teeth and a skin as white as ice. Which man would not be confused by such a beautiful woman?

Dongfang Jingrou lowered her head and couldn't see her toes. Perhaps it was in this respect that the girl was inferior to her.

Also, the girl is a mortal with no cultivation, so even if she has any conspiracy, it won't cause any big waves.

Thinking of this, she finally said, "City Lord, are you sure she's alone?"

Zhao Kangping lied with his eyes open: "I'm sure."

In fact, he didn't know whether the girl had any family, but he couldn't say anything else in this situation.

Dongfang Jingrou has been very busy these days. She has been under a lot of mental pressure and really doesn't have much energy to investigate whether the girl's family background is true or false.

She really wanted to stop the girl and not let her into the City Lord's Mansion.

But she also saw Zhao Kangping's determination to bring her into the mansion.

"Sister, I won't compete with you for the master. I just want to stay by the master's side." At this time, Wan Baiyi spoke again.

However, it would have been better for her not to say this, as those who didn't know would think she was fanning the flames.

"What did you say? Who wants to snatch him away?" Dongfang Jingrou's face turned green.

The girl obviously misunderstood something, which was why she spoke without thinking.

Dongfang Jingrou knew that he was the Holy Lord's man, and she was just a servant, so how could she cooperate with the Holy Lord to snatch the man?

Besides, she didn't like this man.

However, Wan Baiyi still thought that she was unhappy because Zhao Kangping brought her back.

Wan Baiyi: "Sister, don't be angry. The master and I just met yesterday. It's not what you think."

"What's not what I thought? You, what are you talking about, woman?" Dongfang Jingrou felt her anger rising. Did she look like she was having an affair with this man?

This is absolutely slander.

And the girl kept calling the other person "master", which made it easy for her to have some unusual associations.

This Zhao Kangping must be keeping a mistress outside behind the Holy Lord's back.

Needless to say, this girl had been trained by him to be a star-fury, so she called him master.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Jingrou almost stepped back, keeping herself away from the man.

It has been rumored in the Holy Land that he has an unclear relationship with his two disciples, and that he also has an ambiguous relationship with the Holy Lord.

This is cheating on four people at the same time. It's really promiscuous.

Dongfang Jingrou despised such amorous men.

"Isn't this sister the master's woman?" Wan Baiyi looked very surprised.

At this time, Zhao Kangping glanced at the girl silently.

She is indeed not a simple girl.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I have nothing to do with him." Dongfang Jingrou felt angry.

She has served the Holy Lord for a long time and has long since dedicated all her loyalty to Him.

If she hadn't known that the Holy Lord wanted to completely control Chuanliu City, she would never work for this man.

Dongfang Jingrou disliked this girl very much. She gritted her teeth and said, "Young lady, if your family is in trouble, I can give you some silver and ensure that you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life without having to work. There is no need to come to this City Lord's Mansion and suffer."

"Thank you for your kindness, sister. I want to support myself." Wan Baiyi retorted.

There seemed to be an arc of electricity between the two women.

The atmosphere became quite tense, as if the two women were about to fight at any moment.

If this man hadn't been there, they might have started pulling their hair and scratching their faces.

"Listen to me, can you please stop arguing? We will be working together in the future. We are all working in the City Lord's Mansion, so please don't be so confrontational." Zhao Kangping saw that the atmosphere was not good and wanted to be a peacemaker.

However, Dongfang Jingrou didn't give him face. She glared at him and said, "Shut up."

None of them gave her peace of mind. Zhao Kangping was appointed by the Holy Lord to be the Lord of Chuanliu City, but he wanted to not take care of things and threw all the responsibilities to her.
